seriously owen... Why use that move on total strangers when we have quite a large collection of assheads to practice on? Or the house inspector could also work... {{Cashmere}} oi.

Eek, what a memememe post. Sorry. That rant was simmering.

Erin, much recovery ~ma for you.

Bug, I hope you're ok.

{{{Jilli}}}

Dude, no. A well-deserved rant if there ever was one.

OMG, Owen! Straighten up and fly right, boyo! Cut a bitch is NOT for other parents at daycare!

I'm very glad to find that P-C has been in Massachusetts. I was about to get all snitty about your secret trip to California

Heh. That was what I was thinking too! "Cindy took a trip to California and hung out with P-C and no one else?? WTF??"

I had dinner with two of my old coworkers. Most of the people who didn't get laid off have now quit. And the one coworker is like "we'll be needing people! all the sucky people left! come back and work with me!!" and I'm like "HAHAHAHAHAHH! No."

Oh, dear, Cashmere. Owen, you've got to do that on people who can see the humor! Like all your auntie and uncle Bitches!

Also, Cashmere, sounds like you need a break, babe.

Bug, I hope you're ok.

I'm fine, although all those neb treatments made me nice and wide awake. And hungry. Grrrr.

rant on.

Oh dear, Owen.

One of my friends had two of her kids with her at the office today -- the 18-month-old and the baby. The 18-month-old is an interesting kid. She's not terribly responsive to other people -- you try to talk to her, and she gives you this look like, "Huh. A human. Fascinating."

Oh, Cash! What a horrible ordeal. Please don't apologize for ranting. I would say that situation is extremely rantable.

Thanks, guys. I've just been dark grey because of computer issues, then I come in and vomit all this out. Been a rough few days.

I suspect Owen is totally fine. I asked him about knives and he said, "We don't cut friends" and "we only cut bananas"--the only thing I'll let him cut up with a butter knife. He must have seen one of my Buffy comics or possibly PotC because I can't see him getting homicidal urges from Noggin or Nick, Jr. programming.

Who knows? Maybe the New Mom freaked him out. He's impulsive that way. But they've removed all the play knives from the kitchen set in the playroom at the gym.

DH has apologized to me and we are leaving tomorrow for a weekend away (albeit to Columbus to handle some house stuff). But we will be in a nice hotel and my in-laws are keeping the kids for us. So we should hopefully recharge and I can regain my sanity.

But not until I finish editing this piece, get some emails out and pack for our trip.

"We don't cut friends" and "we only cut bananas"
