Has she turned three yet?
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My South is cornbread without sugar; biscuits; grits; greens; field peas cooked with a ham end; pulled pork with some outside meat; green beans cooked with ham and topped with chopped raw onions; and muscadines and scuppernogs. It's where "peas" means crowder, black-eyed, field and related peas, and the other peas are English or green peas. It's where people still talk about "sweet milk," as opposed to buttermilk, and iced tea comes sweet unless you ask for unsweetened. It's making eye contact with strangers and smiling. It's also poor schools; crazy liquor laws; an unhealthy obsession with high school and college football; and going from your air conditioned house to your air conditioned car to your air conditioned office.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
Has she turned three yet?
Not yet. And at this rate, not likely to.

All is well that ends in pizza.
As long as she doesn't go around saying, "Are you my mommy?"...

She does have a tendency to go up to other people, point at me and say "That's my daddy."
So they know who to sue for damages, presumably.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Saw my hemotologist this morning. Back on weekly iron treatments. Oh, freaking joy. Think I'll "celebrate" by taking the kids to the amusement park now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
If it were not my very last day in the city, I totally would.
sob We didn't get to throw you a goodbye party! Very sad.
MARIA!!! Hi, sweets!
Oh, Anne. {{{{Anne & fam}}}} Best wishes, sweetie.
Ack, Suzi. I'm sorry. You should come and visit me as I bartend on Friday.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Preschool was great. Very diverse in kids and staff (three male teachers!!!). Policies are great. No red flags. You have to have a code to get in all doors and parents only have the code for the front door. The director is a really nice woman and the asst director is just as cute as a bug's ear.
I think Em would be very happy there. Some of their rules re: staff kind of surprised me, though I understand why they are there. Such as, if a teacher takes a child into the staff bathroom and shuts the door, it's automatic dismissal of the teacher. No questions asked. Wow.

Trust my rage
Some of Ellie's daycare rules surprise me also. Not as big as the automatic dismissal thing, for example, but the teachers aren't allowed to say "no" to the kids. They can discrouage and distract or say "uh-uh" but not say no. Also, the kids aren't not allowed to be restrained in any way (like in a highchair) except when they put the infants in the little cart and push them around.
eta: oh, and the bathroom in the daycare doesn't even have a door and it's partly open on two sides to two classrooms.

Art Crawl!!!
I'm glad that the school looked good. Is it one of a number of possibles or the main one you're interested in?
