Yes yes! What Steph and Laura said. You are an amazing woman, Maria.
And remember, if you hurt her, I will beat you to death with a shovel.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I've got tears in my eyes. So very glad that I have a legion of Bitches surrounding me.

The status is NOT quo.
But Maria, even though your life is emphatically not what you expected, you aren't just stubbornly pointing backwards and saying "Well, I guess NOW the rest of my life will suck." You're saying, "Okay, let's see what's next." And the choice to do that is tremendous.
This, this, a thousand times this.

Had to take my Mom to the Emergency room (a capillary burst in her mouth where she had a tooth extracted and it took the emergency room to stop the bleeding). I have to take her to a follow up appointment and then make a lecture. I got no sleep last night but could probably fit a half hour nap in. Question: grab the half hour nap or in your experience is a half hour nap while sleep deprived worse than nothing in bring on the gronk?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
My experience is that the half hour is better spent taking a shower and knocking back coffee.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
My cousin and his girlfriend just found out the sex of the baby: it's a boy. I am so excited for them, but I'm also a bit sad that I will probably never experience that.
Nothing stopping you from being the awesomest Aunt there ever was. (As well as all the great advice up thread)

Dang Typo. Sounds like your mother is okay, but probably worn out because of the experience. Yikes.
