But I'm just fucking exhausted, and the day's barely half over.
So...I guess I'm not going out writing tonight after work after all?
Take her outside is my advice. Put her in the front pack and walk. She'll conk out.

[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.

Oh, poor JZ and Matilda. Peace to you both!
These earplugs have been in my ears every night for the last 20 years. They are fantastic for cutting out the very high level tones but leaving you able to hear everything else. I cut one in two so each package is actually 12 pairs...and I reuse them, so they end up not being expensive at all. And the peace? Priceless.
When my friend's baby wailed in my house for, I kid you not, 5 straight hours one night...these babies saved us both.
eta: I get my supply from Target...and am continually looking for a source where I can buy them bulk. Seriously, if Mack's ever goes out of business, I'll never sleep again.
quester was recommending silicone earplugs to me just the other day.

Bless you, JZ. I remember days like that all too vividly. Here's hoping she drops off soon.
Anyway, you can be a loving mother and still want to SEND THAT KID INTO ORBIT sometimes. It doesn't make you abusive (as long as you don't buy a rocket ship); it makes you human. There are few sounds as maddening as a baby crying; we're wired to respond.

What Betsy said, JZ. Let me know if you need me to swoop in this weekend.

It doesn't make you abusive (as long as you don't buy a rocket ship);No, not until you actually use the rocket. Buying is just being prepared...
I am making roast beast, sautéed mushrooms and steamed green beans. Who wants dinner in exchange for helping me put away my clean clothes and taking out the recycling?
Me!!
