Bartleby~ma!
Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.
Happy Anniversary to the Miracleborns and Scrappys! You guys give marriage a good name.
Lots of ~ma headed out to Bonny and Bartleby.
Tried using Instant Boss today to alternate between work projects and home projects, until I just gave up and decided to take a break. Much to do.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Necessary parenting strategy or Cruel treatment of children? You decide!!
Emeline has a lot of little flotsam and jetsam. It gets really out of control and despite the cash money spent on bins and label makers, it does not get kept organized and/or cleaned. It's driving me out of my mind. So, about once or twice a year, I send her off to her grandparents for the weekend and spend it reorg-ing and deep cleaning her room. Part of this reorg involves Throwing Away of the Things. Now, these things are NOT toys she often plays with or Barbies or Beloved Stuffed Animals, but the little pieces of flotsam (like the plastic basket found at a yard sale or random crap that doesn't go with anything or remaining pieces of games that have long since been disposed of).
I say these are items that have no meaning and after these purge I have yet to hear her ask for something specific, and I am teaching her how to choose between that which is sentimental and means something and that which we are just holding on to because why not? Others have the opinion that I am creating a hoarder by not giving her a 100% say in what she gets to keep and what she doesn't in the name of neatness.
What say you?

I say you forgot to mention the metric ton of art/gimp/popsicle stick/toiletpaper roll doodads that come home.
We try to keep some from each year, but this is the Thing That Eats All our Space.

Trust my rage
I routinely toss that sort of crap. Mostly when I'm cleaning up the house and so on. Only once has it been noticed.
But I don't tell Ellie about it yet because when I was little, I had a really hard time throwing stuff away or giving it away. I often felt like I was being disloyal to whoever gave me the crap in the first place.

Sox - I did forget to mention. And holy shyza do they bring home a metric buttload of crafts and artwork. I spent a week going through All of the Artwork and choosing some key awesome pieces that we are framing and outting in her room after the reorg.

Pick one: A rock hotglued to a stick or a stick covered in glitter. You Cannot Keep Both.
