Well, that was a very peaceful seven minutes, but she's awake and teary and back in my arms again, looking all red and wounded and betrayed.

She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
JZ, put her down in her bassinet. She'll be fine.
She's fed and dry and unharmed. Let her learn a little self-soothing.
Unless you don't want to, at which point, I will piss off and shut up.
But I order you to have that martini.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
well, we know where the problem wih the garage shower is. But we can do much about it. It needs a plumber. Out of a bizzare cussedness that I can not explain, we are continueing with the tub project. Basic sanding is almost complete. then cleaning then painting. I will have a lovely sponge bath and wash my hair in the kitchen sink. Tomorrow I will have a real shower at the 24 hour fitness. If this works I get a home shower Tuesday am.
JZ please save a martini for me after I am done with the power tools.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
poor JZ, sounds like a sleepy baby to me.
First, you put a baby in a box ....
When Franny was a teeny tiny 10 month old, Lori took a bunch of photos of her posing in a tea kettle box. I still get a big goofy smile on my face when I look at them.

Aims, pffft. Usually I'm a big self-soothing cry-it-out cheerleader, but it just doesn't seem to be working; most of the time the stress just leaks out and she mellows in a couple of minutes, but today she's just getting sobbier and more distraught. Poor little muffin.

You know what works best for Matilda, but my babies always responded well too a darkened room, soft singing, and either rocking or having me pat lightly on their backs.

yay for local independent hardware stores - they have an idea that might fix our shower! DH gets a yay because he is bring me McDonalds, which I have not had in years, but I want.
I'm wondering if JZ wants to trade.....but some how I am guessing Matilda will be happy again before Tuesday

Oh, JZ, I'm so sorry. He's on his way home! I have released him to fly free! I hope he's home before she drives you baby-INNNNNSAAAANE.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I hope he's home before she drives you baby-INNNNNSAAAANE.This amuse me.
Okay, just took some Advil, more Benedryl ('lurgies like whoa for the past few days) and chatted with a friend who is more my sister's friend and we caught up on life and then bonded over wishing the Nephlet had a slightly less chaotic home life. Man, I miss hanging out with her. We ended up being really good friends in our own right but hadn't caught up in a while.
To sum up, please be nice to your mommy, Matilda. Because you crying is the reason mommy drinks.

Matilda was all asleep by the time I arrived.
I made JZ a tuna melt and gave her a root beer and she's watching What Not to Wear and I have promised to take the next two feedings.
Also, Emily's hair looks very nice in pretty ringlets around her face.
