'A Hole in the World'


Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

It's like, she turns her ears off and just becomes even more annoying, which makes me more snappish and means. More of our fights have stemmed from bathtime than any other time because I hate them so much.

Nora - I totally get the feeling restless and wanting to move cross country. I';ve done it twice and both times, it sucked at the beginning, but was, overall, the best decision I could have made.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I *loathe* giving Emeline a bath. Like, out of all the mom things, it's the one I hate most.

Huh. Bathtime is No Big Deal around here, but then I get in the bath with Matilda - as I used to do with Emmett.

ION, Matilda is apparently all potty-trained at daycare and hardly at all potty trained at home. In short: we suck. We just have not been reinforcing it or making her conscious of doing it at home. But at daycare she's been dry for weeks.

Wrong! Moving back to Michigan was a terrible idea!

Because you're farther from us.

In that aspect, yes it was a horrible idea.

Having more than four people Emeline can go stay the night with or even a whole weekend? AWESOMECAKES!!

Man, if you were in SF I could line up like eight people who would be happy to have Emeline for company.

And we'd wash her too before we gave her back to you.

Hee!! I had the same in LA or probably would have had now that she's older. I still laugh at the one time I called ND to babysit when she was a few months old.

“Not dead yet!”

Hey Barb! Matilda got a package from Jacksonville today.

Oh YAY! I think that leaves Cash as the only one who hasn't received a box? Which is WEIRD. Almost as weird as the fact that it cost me less to send the box to Plei via Express as opposed to Priority.

And tell me, how were the contents received? Abby's been dying to know that everyone loves their Groovy Girls.

By the by, anyone interested in making the short ribs recipe I posted upthread?

YUM.

Seriously.

YUM.

Emeline has barely put hers down. She SLEPT with them last night. I am also checking out Target for more stuff since she loves tham so much.

Thank you and thank Abby for them, please.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I don't like the idea of Nora and Tom moving so far away, but if it makes the two of you happy, you should go for it.
