Happy Birthday Sparky!
Go use your librarian voice on those who deserve it!
Wesley: We were fighting on opposite sides, but it was the same war. Fred: but you hated her…didn't you? Wesley: It's not always about holding hands.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Aimee, I will gladly trade you your whiny three year-old for a cranky 21 month-old AND a whiny 3 1/2 year-old. Liv doesn't want me sitting near Owen and cries and tugs on me when I do. Owen doesn't want me touching Olivia and yells for me to put her down when I try to calm her down.
Deserted island. I'm telling you.
And I want to apologize for actually vocalizing in here that I wanted to twist Em's head off. I realize now that that thought might make people very uncomfortable and probably doesn't paint me in too good a light, either. So, if my head twisting comment upset or offended anyone, I apologize.
But in all seriousness, her not being able to speak but for whining and crying is really starting to send me to the edge.

Oh, Aims. I think we all know you well enough to know that was you expressing frustration and not something you would ever consider doing.

I hope ya'll do, too, but still. I wanted to at least put it out there that I really wasn't gonna twist her head off. I mean, a) total mess and b) how do you explain *that* to a daycare provider.

Jess, did you get an iPod Touch and not mention it?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I totally understand, Aimee.
Annabel has a 20-month-old cousin on this side of the family, Miriam. Their grandmother and great-grandmother, I think, had hopes that they'd play together in beautiful and photogenic ways. My SIL and I knew better--they're just too different in developmental stage at this point, and they mainly play separately, except when they fight and cry when Miriam tries to rip toys from Annabel's hands!

Now tagless for your comfort.
Oh, Aimee, we know the desire is completely different from the actual twisting. I snorted and empathized with you immediately. Of course, Liv spent one night this week crying for an hour straight before she went to bed.
I daresay, there are instances of me saying things similar. Not to mention yelling at the kids to be quiet or to leave me alone when I know they don't understand.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
Timelies, Bitches!
I'm in a vaguely annoyed mood, which better clear up; I have a lot I need to accomplish today!
Happy Birthday, Sparky! Hope your train ride went well and hope you are safely ensconced in the family bosom. Or something.
Good Travel, to them wot are traveling for Thanksgiving. I only have to drive about 45 minutes, and on Thursday itself, so I do not anticipate travel horror stories.
