Excellent in theory, not so much in practice, unless there's some trick no one's telling me.
And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
My neighbor seems to like hers - I'll ask her if she's ever had that problem and if so what she did about it.

Holy crap, this run-book is 13 pages long!!! In my defense, I'm including a lot of maps, but still!

Did you list all the foods and stuff? I used to do that with the boys, meal by meal, what they'd eat, what they wouldn't, how to prepare it exactly right ...
Wow, I don't miss those days.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And since this book is for grandparents, you know huge chunks of it will be ignored. "I know mommy says you can't have sugary soda, but since we're at the movies, I don't think it will be a problem this once." Luckily, kids and grandparents always seem to survive unscathed.

Heh - my food guidelines are more along the lines of "He can have chocolate milk if he wants, but if he drinks a whole restaurant portion he will probably throw up on you."
(For movies, I'm recommending they stay home & stick to DVDs, since the only age-appropriate thing in theatres right now is Spookley The Square Pumpkin, and I like my in-laws enough not to inflict that on them.)

I was working this morning! But it was fun, and yay junior highers.
And then I was fed my second buffet in sixteen hours. I only went up once. Yay me.
Ooh, and I have a butter bell and it has never fallen out! I let the butter soften on the counter a bit, and then I press it in. Then as I take the butter out, I guess I`m kinda pressing it in more with the knife? I dunno. It`s never been a problem. The only problem is that it becomes clear to me how much butter I`m eating, since the SO doesn`t use it.

There's also Red, which is perfect for grandparents to take a kid to see!
Thanks to New Inappropriately Young Guy, I missed Sunday morning entirely. We slept in until 1pm today (well, maybe not slept...) Seem to be hitting it off better with him than anyone I've gone out with in ages, so here's to cradle robbing.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
Cradle Robbing Matt. Hmmm. New board name?
So, got up when my alarm went off, was amazed at the number of people on the road at 4:30am. Got CJ to his gate in plenty of time.
Oh, a sweet teenage boy moment. We had been sitting on the floor by the window waiting for his boarding group to be called. At one point I stood up, to stretch which prompted the following exchange...
CJ - Don't leave me yet. me - I was just stretching. You afraid sparkly vampires are going to get you while it is dark and you can't see them sparkle? CJ - (very quiet) yeah.
Ahhh, I'm good for something.
Came home, napped, then met Nicole for farmers market (mmmm, corn, white chocolate-mint bread, and roasted chilies), then off to Sephora with an unanticipated side stop at Bath and Body Works, and finally a pedicure (bright Halloween orange nails-hello).
It is so hard trying to find a new place. The salon we hit today was eh. They work to hard on the upsell. Will try a different place next time.
