Just because I haven't seen the baby doesn't mean I don't want to . . December often leaves me a bit overwhealmed feeling ( too much to do , and doing the things I want makes more of the things I hate ( like shipping) so I actually don't do much unplanned socializing). I am wondering if I can ship christmas gifts the day after thanksgiving next year. anyway - the baby can scream in my ear for an hour - I've done it before and surrvived. I just assume I can't make them stop .
Kara made my day. I am a bit curious about what is going on in her brain..
Porn keeps comming up ( no pun intended) I had a long 'discussion' with a co -worker who is much more conservative than I am . I finally realized that she was never going to understand that to me Runescape or porn - same amount of usefulness of library websites. And , If our screens didn't make it hard for people to avoid seeing what was on all the screen s, I truely wouldn't care if people looked at porn in the library ( no damp seats though) . Of course half the problem with the library 'policy' is that there is no definition of porn. or 'unacceptable use'. It does make me wonder - one of our library patrons told me that he came out to this area to write for the S&M crowd, but found it very difficult to break into that arena. so he is writing vampire porn.
today I mailed packages, ordered a few presents for Matt( one of them wrong ...grrr...) , made beef stew and banana bread.
it's official. We have tree
ETA: I now have eggnog with a double shot of Jim Beam black label
I am doing the lights
JZ, to add to what flea said--once, when I was up with Owen (sometime in his first two months) at 3 a.m. and he would NOT. STOP. CRYING. I was *this* close to losing it. I couldn't wake Christopher because he had to get up and go to work the next day. No matter what I tried, Owen just couldn't be comforted. I finally just put him in his crib and walked away. He must have just wanted some space from me because he quieted right down. Even now there are days when I've put Owen in his room, put Liv down in the crib, shut the doors and walked downstairs for 15-20 minutes, regardless of the crying and screaming that ensues. When you get mentally and physically exhausted, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Kara (ours): I Have 100% PENIS.
I think Kara has been sending me spam.
Kara: arms spread wide I HAVE THE BIGGEST PENIS IN THE WORLD.
Well, she IS Tyrone.
Cereal:
Return of the King is on TNT, and I just feel compelled to say: Denethor is crazy, yo.
And I can live quite nicely without ever seeing Shelob again.
t edit
And I love Eowyn.
Teppy! I am drinking a Sam Adams Winter ale. I like it, but not quite as much as the Solstice, which I need more of.
Did I tell you that the Winter Solstice was kick-ass, or what? It's SO good. It's, like, *magic* beer.
Walking away is an excellent strategy when you can put the baby in a safe crib/bassinet and close the door.
I also remember it being a good time to vacuum.
JZ is slowly learning why it took me ten years to screw my courage to the sticking point and have a second child.
Kara (ours): I Have 100% PENIS.
It's the best kind to have! You don't want one that's 85% penis and 15% zucchini.
The vacuum used to put K-Bug to sleep oh so many years ago. Now I can't get her near one. Hmmmmmmm.
