[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.
I'm babysitting from noon until five today - which means that I have a little over an hour left until her parents come to pick her up. Dear Gods, let it go by quickly. Pleasepleaseplease.
Never. Again. From now on I'll be sticking with infants. No toddler rule is back in effect.
BWAHAHAHA.
Nicole, I feel your pain.
On a daily basis.
What's mindboggling is this:
The higher rate is based on a Caesarean costing an average of $2,700 more than a vaginal birth
So they're fucking with people's lives over a hypothetical cost that could be wiped out with a single sprained ankle anyway?
I don't know how you do it, Cash. I just... I don't.
My usual rule is once they hit the one year mark, I'm out. No more babysitting, fewer visits to the house, etc. My girlfriend Laura, however, has these big brown eyes and she looks all sweet and innocent when she says, "Adison will just sit and play quietly the whole time we're gone."
LIAR! Cranky two year old crying jag since about 15 minutes after mommy and daddy left.

We've watched Bee Movie and Unaccompanied Minors. We've played Hand Adison One Piece Of Cereal At A Time. She's had two 4oz bottles because she hasn't been feeling good. She's tired as all heck, but she's just basically fighting sleep.
Can a two year old have grapes? Are there allergy issues with grapes and toddlers?
Trying to remember the advice on grapes. Can't think of allergy issues, just choking - so cut them in half?

Yeah, I was feeding Annabel halved grapes long before she was two, probably before she was one.
Thanks, Suz. I'll try to keep her entertained with the last of the cereal. I just know she's going to zonk out five minutes before parents show up. Grr.
How are you, hon? Everything as hectic as ever?
eta: You just answered that in Natter. Nebbermind.
As I just mentioned in Natter, it is PROM DAY!!!!! So, we just got home from doing hair and 2 of her friends came over here to get ready. Girl-a-poluza in the house!
As for the hectic, yes. Set the date with the movers, will get paperwork to sign for them on Monday. They should be picking our stuff up on Friday, the 27th, so the kids and I will be camping in the house until Monday (possibly Tuesday) before CJ and I hop a plane to Denver.
More terrifying is the house hunting trip that starts on Wednesday.
