{{{Moms & Dads}}} I'm in awe of you guys.
in other news, champagne is chilling for the cyber toast of the happy couple.
Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Apparently I sent my dropoff parent home summarily on day one of Montessori. My sister put up such a fuss that they almost took her back home. Both mornings are enshrined in our personal mythos(es?). And I think my parents count both as fail.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
That is the parental conundrum. You want them to be sad you're leaving them somewhere but not that much sad, no - that's too happy, nope, too sad again. A little bit sadder. A little bit happier. Little too sad. Little smile? Play with that girl there. Nope - too much play, show a small frown. Just a skosh happier.
PERFECT! Now I'll just go get in my car/bus/office and cry that you don't need me quite as much as you did yesterday.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Now my throat hurts. And moving my head at all makes my sinuses hurt.
Just allergies just allergies just allergies just allergies.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Friends of ours that we sometimes babysit for came over on NYD with their 18 month old boy. He took one look at us and burst into tears clinging to hid dad until he realized that his mom and dad were not leaving him.

Our wings are not tired.
Sounds to me like allergies, Hil.
Yay for little boys, Jess! Being outnumbered by the testosterone set isn't bad at all. It has been years since I have had to deal with anything yucky or heavy. Also, having a seconds boy means built in hand me downs. Fair warning, all that stuff about 12yo boy humor, it never ends, ever.

So, has the sun set in Hawaii? Raising my glass to Kristin & Drew!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Heh - yeah, I figured that out from having a husband.
Dylan just had a major nightmare freakout that took about 45 minutes to calm down. I think Herschel and the Hannukah Goblins may have to be taken out of bedtime story rotation for a few days.
