Lorne ,'Why We Fight'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's so important. I think our first few months would have been a lot less taxing had we had family around to help out.
And now that Em is older, we're really feeling the lack of family. Not being able to go out together just sucks because we don't have many babysitters that we trust and ... well, it's LA. I don't trust CraigsList for that as far as I could spit ad ead, decaying, plague filled rat.
My horoscope sez: Aries (March 21-April 19). You're currently involved in a self-fulfilling prophecy. If you don't like the way it's going, it's not too late to make a different prophecy. A Virgo person can help you turn things around.
Any Virgos here know what that means?
Nah, but we always think we can whip everybody into shape.
Nyet.
Strega, do not kill your clutch! (of course, if it is an auto, totally different set of worries.)
Heh. Yeah, it's automatic. I didn't push it, 'cause it was pretty clear that there was no traction at all.
I just called in and told a co-worker what was up, and she said nothing was going on anyway so not to stress about it if I couldn't get out. So I won't!
I think Hayden is expecting their second. I mean, his wife is the pregnant one.
OK, I'm off. May my clutch behave.
flea, that's right! I knew there was another Buffista sprog waiting in the wings. I just read those Moxie articles. This...
I'm afraid to go to bed. So I don't go to bed. So I get less sleep. But I just can't face waking up, so I'm afraid to sleep.
Oh, man, I remember that feeling far too well, considering how long ago it happened. Julia and Chris were easy sleepers. I think they were a month old, and they gave up their 2:00am feeding. It was heaven. I'd feed them at 10pm and they'd sleep 'til 6am. But Ben's first couple of months were horrible. He was up most of the night, every night. I developed a lot of bad sleep habits in that time, for exactly the reason Moxie talks about.

JZ, as for the situation with the supervisor who's grooming you, despite good intentions in pushing and challenging you she's dealing primarily with things you do. You're giving greater priority to the things that make you who you are, the really important stuff like family and pursuits that nourish your soul. That strikes me as a very wise approach.
