Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[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.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

yeah, connie, a guy came in with a DUI, and told the officer, as he was being frisked, "This is so ungrading."

I appreciate it, guys. I don't always talk when I'm teaching, but I always do drive-bys, andI really appreciate you being here for me always.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I find the whole thing very Alice's Restaurant. They stuck her on the Group W bench for parking tickets.

Oh, Erin! I'm glad you're ok, but sorry you had to go through that. Here's to hoping that that was the worst of it. Hope you're sleeping soundly now and feel better in the morning.
omnis, I have an idea for a present. When my mom had surgery a few months ago, a friend of my parents sent frozen prepared meals from Dine Wise: [link] They are REALLY amazingly good, and they have a lot of choices and packages. I think that would be a really nice Christmas gift. I don't know how much you can spend, but if you did like a week's worth of meals for them, they could probably spread them out (by doing some of their own cooking when they feel up to it) for several weeks.

vw- wow! cool idea. That could work for a bunch of folks... me included! A romantic dinner (at home with baby). If you can't bring them to a restaurant, bring the restaurant to them. Thanks! :)

The status is NOT quo.
It will be okay, although I know it doesn't seem that way now.Erin, Ginger is wise. But oh sweetie, I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're okay. {{{{Erin}}}}
Omnis, I think vw's idea is an excellent one. And what are you still doing up at 5AM? Insomnia?
{{{{{JZ}}}}} All the other wise moms have already said it better (I've actually marked Aimee's response since I think it captures this thread and its support perfectly), but I do believe that this is normal. Every mom I've known has to slog through those first six months, but it does get better. Just keep thinking how much more wonderful it will be when she gets big enough to start really interacting with you. Think about the first time she will say, "I love you" to you. Hang in there, love, and whine and bitch as much as you need to. We're here.
