Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The Women is on cable this morning and just as bitchily entertaining as ever.

Since I went to an all-girls' high school, every year I lobbied for the drama department to do that as our Spring show.

Shot down every year. Pah!

Trust my rage

Thanks everyone. It has been a bad week for teeth. I just got an email from Joe - they say she has blood poisoning and will admit her for 5-10 days. I'm rather freaked out and feeling especially stressed in that I have a nursing toddler and a little girl in the hospital - both who need me and can't be in the same place at the same time.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Drive-by ice creamings sound like the best thing ever.

Honestly, getting Ellie into the habit of brushing after she eats - always - would be better than denying treats.

I like the idea of the trike omnis, I really hope it works.

ION, I have DH's cold. Maybe not as bad as he had it, but still - DON'T WANT

I'm sorry -- I hope things get better for Ellie quickly

Oh, my goodness! Poor Ellie! And poor you -- *of course* you're freaked out and stressed!

Is there anything I can do from Ohio?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, poor little thing! And poor parents! I hope she's as unscared and brave as possible.

Because books.

Oh, Stephanie! Oh, honey, I'm so sorry. Poor all of you! Sending all kinds of Jedi vibes to Ellie, the poor noodle.

Thanks, everyone. Steph, thanks for the offer and if I think of anything, I'll take you up on it.

I think my mom is going to come out. I feel a bit bad saying yes to her offer - since she is a teacher - but I just need someone else who can be okay with watching Frisco.

Don't feel bad! This isn't a hangnail we're talking about. This is the exactly right time for some mom help.

Lots of medical~fu for Ellie, Stephanie. That is a really tough place to be in. I don't think you should feel bad about your mom. Seriously, as someone with adult children, their woes can be just as important to a parent as a 4-year old's. It's important to her to be there for you.
