The DC shelter took in a bunch of orphaned pets from Tuscaloosa, and I was sorely tempted. I know the cats would hate it if we got a dog, and I know we aren't home enough.
But...dog!

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I am being a horrible play date mom.
One of the girls that is over is on some pretty heavy duty meds (she's EI) that kind of make her chunky. Her parents, who are trying the very best that they can, are setting her up for eating disorders the way that they are with her and food. Very strict calories, almost no carbs, lock on the refrigerator door at home, poster board chart of her meals.
She's SIX.
So far, under my care today, she's had Oreo's, homemade pizza, ice cream, and lemonade.
They're never gonna let me have her again, but I swear - I've NEVER seen her this happy. No fits, no pouting, no crying, nothing.

Dude, that's what playdates are FOR.
It's like the lite version of Trip to Grandparents.

She's such an awesome kid. Wicked smaht. But she's got some fiercely over-protective parents that are so freaked out by the EI stuff (and I can't blame them - she can be a handful and a half when she's having herself a 'sode) but so much of her stuff is just being 6. Lighten up, folks.

EI - emotionally impaired. In this case, Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

You mean she's a kid?
Is there anyone in the world who hasn't been diagnosed with something yet?

You know, if someone put a lock on the refrigerator and doled out carb-free food to me, I'd probably have Acquired Oppositional Defiant Disorder.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The "and stuff" part of my darkness was fairly sucky, but has been resolved with a bit of counseling and a lot of medication.
Well, I'm very glad the proper cocktail of meds was put together, topped with a brandied serotonin reuptake cherry.
EI - emotionally impaired. In this case, Oppositional Defiant Disorder.
Clearly she just needed Oreos and Lemonade.
