But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

There's a bar in Madison where you can get a beer in a boot. A nice glass boot.

But you have to take care with the boot, because if you don't hold it right while drinking, it will kick beer in your face.

Ew to the sick. Ew to having to look for a new doctor. YAY to the hoodie.

who's a bit congested and therefore inconsolable. And I kept thinking, "sister, you should meet Gracie, she's got tubes and stuff and is WAY MORE CHEERY, SO BUCK UP, BUCKAROO."

But for Naeve, it is the worse thing ever. Grace and Noah get inconsolable over things that are big (and often little) to them but it's a different frame of reference.

Yesterday, I walked into Grace's room at 4:00 AM and there were 8 people huddled around her crib (never a good sign). She was having some respiratory distress and was just being settled back down, cleared up etc. She'd been fussed with for a couple of hours and she was PISSED. But she saw me and K and smiled and was calm for several moments. Then the charge nurse came in and put the stethascope on her to listen to her tummy and lungs and Grace had a conniption. I had to say to her, "Listen. I know it doesn't hurt. You're fine. You just don't like it. So stop." And she did.

Inconsolable is never fun.

Also, randomly, I lost the beautiful pin that closes this wrap sweater that I bought in NZ. So I used a diaper pin today. I so don't care.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

They are outduded by the mighty sloth, who doesn't even bother holding itself upright and moves at such a rate that algae grows all through its hair.

I would like to brag about the dinner I made last night. Or rather, that I experimented with my usual garlicky spaghetti sauce and tossed in some red wine vinegar and squash and allspice and fresh parsley, and topped it all with freshly grated parmigiana-reggiano, and it tasted awesome.

I am going to nap so hard when I get home from work.

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

I love Wonder Woman's hair. And The Flash is just awesome. And Superman has a great outfit.
