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.

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.

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

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.

Matt has fixed the shower. now he gets to finish up the tub standing ... we have a shower, so now it feels ok to say the project can finish tomorrow - because we have a home shower
