I think since she worked as a nurse, she got so inured to stuff that was bad enough to land people in the hospital that anything less didn't ping her radar.
You live with my Mom?
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

[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 read The Stand over a weekend when I was also obsessively listenting to a Howard Jones album. I can't hear him anymore without getting creeped out.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not convinced you need The Stand for that. All you need is to listen to "Look Mama I Love You" in the wrong kind of mood.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
{{{{Glamcookie}}}} that's a tough transition to make. May it go as smoothly as possible.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
He will be in very capable hands (his Mommy's), but it will be the first time I've been away from him for more than 2 hours since he was born. Eff this work thing!
Is Mommy doing a leave now? That looks like what my sister and her hub are going to end up dong.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Glam, eff work indeed. Too bad ya can't get paid to just be Mom.
Nora & Tom, congrats on landing in NO! Best of luck for Tom on his first day. Maybe y'all can knock on a neighbors door and ask for a cup of sugar? And then go back later with a plate of cookies. It will make the new house smell yummy, and say "Hi, we are nice people" to your new neighbors.
Pix, good to see your pixels. How's the neck? I texted, but didn't call, for fear of waking you when you were snoozing. Hope you are doing better.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Thanks for the support. It is going to be tough.
Is Mommy doing a leave now?
Mommy is now a stay at home mommy! Our plan is to have her stay home until he starts preschool and then work part time. Hopefully my job will allow that to happen - they had a round of layoffs while I was out. Yikes.

The status is NOT quo.
Hang in there, GC. I can't imagine how tough that is, but I know that Mommy is going to be AWESOME.
Omnis, I'm much better today, thanks. B. stayed here all weekend and pampered me rotten, and the pain was much less this morning. (I'm convinced these two things are related.) Yay for good friends!
I'm still bummed about the school rejection, but I'm trying to let it go.
