But, you know, I also get moments like this. What's a little torture between family anyway?
Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Just remember that this kind of sleep deprivation is what they do to people at Abu Grahib.

Damn.

And it was certainly part of why all three are spaced so far apart.
Yes, it took me ten years to forget about the sleep dep with Emmett in order to have Matilda. Who, not to jinx myself, has slept through the night in her crib for Three Nights In A Row!!! for the first time ever. I don't worry about the jinx because she's already broken her personal best so anything now is just delicious cream cheese frosting on the scrumptious carrot cake of somnolence.

Damn.
I know - it made me think of my bouts with insomnia.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
What a great picture! Though I have to disagree with Teppy's comment on flickr -- it is my considered opinion that that is not too much cute, but in fact a deliciously optimal and ideal amount of cute.
Matilda has been cuterating at great intensity lately; she's full of hugs and happy babble and pressing her cheek to your mouth for kisses (and sometimes grabbing your ears and then pushing your mouth away, then back, then away, then back, for kisses times infinity), and this morning she tried to hop on the bed. Her bed-hopping consists of:
(1) Stand
(2) Hold up one finger
(3) Count down from, well, something (counting=saying "Zhwoo. Zhwoo. Zhwoo!")
(4) Elevate entire body a millimeter or so
(5) Sit down hard
(6) Laugh your ass off
It is just slightly made of awesome, and goes a long way toward making up for the sleep dep (except that I'm now trained to wake up at 4 a.m. all tense and waiting for the screaming, even when she sleeps through the night without a peep. The auto-rising at 4 can stop anytime now, please).
Also, from way upthread, Aimee being all three years old at Em is the second-funniest thing I've ever read, but only because TomW being all three years old at Nora is even funnier.

I scanned some old family pics and put them on Flickr [link] How adorable was my dad????

Gloomcookie, your dad is a total boo! (No, really, it's a very good thing to be a boo! There is almost no higher praise chez Zmayhem!)

Oh, I love seeing old photos on Flickr! I need to make a trip back to my grandmother's house and steal a few more shoeboxfuls before they're lost.

Especially if you hear that exchange in TomW's voice.

Because books.
Yeah, this was definitely a big part of getting through Sara's first year.
I know we have a scanner, somewhere, that we've never used. I want to set it up, because I have great pictures of my grandparents, and my parents as kids and teenagers, and the hard copies are worse for the wear.
