Ho'omaika'i
hoh oh maikah ee
The glottal stops don't translate well, but that's an approximation. No real emphasis on any of the syllables.
(It's actually Ho'omaika'i 'Ana, I think.)
And Ho'omaika'i 'Ana to Drew and Kristin!
Xander: Am I right, Giles? Giles: I'm almost certain you're not. Though, to be fair, I haven't been
listening.

[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’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And in polar-oppositeland, Matilda and I executed a perfect childcare delivery fail this morning. She was chatty and happy right up until we got to the hospital, whereupon we had two big meltdowns before we reached the second floor. She cheered up minimally at the sight of her preschool, but then when it became clear that I wasn't going to spend all day like Daddy had, but was actually going to just leave her there, she collapsed brokenly and clutched at me, weeping, "Please don't leave me, Mommy! I don't want you to go! Please stay with me!" When hugs, distractions, redirecting, and every other trick in the book failed, one of the staff finally (firmly but very gently) peeled her off me and I fled (by now 40 minutes late). Matilda instantly turned purple and raged out, and the whole way out of the building I could hear her roaring, "MOMMY. MOMMY. MOMMY." in her demon voice.
Hours later, I still want to run back and hug her to bits, except that I know it'll just make everything suck more, for even longer.

I'm getting the pig!
I can't even imagine how hard that was, and continues to be, JZ. Ugh. The good news is that she's probably happily playing right now and tomorrow will (fingers crossed) be much easier.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
{{{{{JZ}}}}} I can't imagine how difficult that must be. I'm so sorry.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
{{{JZ}}} One of the crappier moments in a parent's life, for damn sure. Hopefully, it will be done with a couple of days once she realizes how much FUN FUN FUN it is at preschool.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh JZ, many hugs to you. BTDT many times. I know it leaves you broken for the rest of the day.

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

Enjoying these newborn days prior to entering the toddler/child shenanigans stage others are describing here.
ETA: He was 2 days old in this photo, which I think is nuts. He looks older than that to me in this pic.

BTDT many times. I know it leaves you broken for the rest of the day.
I'm gonna have to keep a travel mug full of gin at my desk if it happens regularly.
Thanks for the hairpats...it feels less faily just to be not quite so alone in the fail.
