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.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

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.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.

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.
