[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.
It really is.
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.

White noise is soothing. I know people that successfully put their squalling child to sleep with help of a blow dryer. Of course, warm air and white noise is a magic combination.
