{{{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.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I remember once, a few years ago, another grad student in my department was giving a seminar talk, and there were some people visiting the department that she really wanted to make a good impression on. She had to bring her three-year-old in with her that day, but her friend had agreed to watch the kid while she was giving her talk, and this was a friend that the kid knew and had spent plenty of time with and was totally comfortable with. Until that day. She went to give her talk, and her daughter would not let her go. She finally left, and her daughter was just screaming, "I want my mommy! I want my mommy!" This was loud enough that the mother could hear it while she was trying to give her talk. Finally, after about ten minutes of this, the last "I want my mommy!" became "I want my water!" and she was given a sippy cup of water, cuddled with her mom's friend and whimpered for a few minutes, and fell asleep.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Teppy alert! I just took two doses of decongestant pills an hour apart, due to being a dope (each pill contains 5 mg of HCI phenylephrine--so I took 20 mg altogether) Will I decongest myself to death or can I just drink some water or something?
Of course I do this an hour before I am going to have a massage.

I somehow ended up spending the afternoon playing Rock Band instead of doing laundry.

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
Oh, that would be because Rock Band is WAY more fun than laundry.
