Oh, ack, msbelle. I hope the Uncute passes quickly, and doesn't come back much.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

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.

Because books.
Aw, msbelle, that's rough. That was always a big consequence here -- misbehavior results in no bedtime books. And the threat of it was usually enough to at least mitigate some stuff. All our kids have been very into the bedtime reading ritual.
Because I am so terribly lazy, though, I'm always leery of taking TV away, because with kids of a certain age it seems like the punishment is more yours than theirs.

"Somebody help me, I don't want to sleep by myself"Oh my goodness, that's not fair.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Poor msbelle.
ION, I'm watching Monday's Colbert, and I'm reminded of a funny thing my father told me. He works in a call center doing political fundraising, and recently heard the guy next to him say, "...no, not John Fucking Kerry, sir..." Heh.

Ack, msbelle, that's tough.
Does it make any sense that the part of my book order that was shipped Friday still hasn't arrived, while the part that was shipped Monday arrived yesterday?

That's the good thing when they're stil little. Oh, and I forgot to tell you how cute his hair looks! Great job.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Mac is a gorgeous kid.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
"Somebody help me, I don't want to sleep by myself"
Oooh, interesting gambit. Emmett's cry during timeouts was always the heartbreaking "I want to be a good boy!"
