Also, "sleep when the baby sleeps" is age-old (and excellent) advice.
I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Can I call your aunt real early in the morning to tell her to leave you alone? And that since I'm up at 5am she should be too?

I could not handle being a mom on top of the other help and "help" I get.

Seriously, she called to give you unsolicited advice about how to live your life?
This is what she does. This is the same woman who told TCG he had to go home and get some sleep while ltc and I were in the hospital after he was born, and when he politely told her he didn't have any interest in doing that she reiterated that he "HAD to".
Those things totally count as getting things done.
I like to think so. Though I wasn't successful in getting the shower in before ltc woke up. She ended up waking up her sick, napping daddy while I was in the shower.

Oh, she's up, and she is one of the few people that doesn't understand the rule not to call me before 10 AM unless it's really important. Not because I'm not awake, just because I really don't want to and am not good at talking to anyone before 10 AM.

Yeah. There is a reason why this kind of "help" annoys me so much.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Yeah. There is a reason why this kind of "help" annoys me so much.
Shenanigans like this always makes me think of the Shel Silverstein poem that ends "Some kind of help is the kind of help that helping's all about/And some kind of help is the kind of help we can all do without."

Yes. I'm currently baking a chicken pot pie that vw made and brought up frozen for us. That's the kind of help I can get behind and that is actually helpful after having a baby.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just realized that my flight to NJ is tomorrow, not Wednesday like I'd thought. Eek. Trying not to panic now. I have a list! Lists are good!

My mom's friend used to hang out with him...she said he was an asshole, but his poems are sweet. Worst segue ever: Promo for feel-good Down Syndrome reality show "Born This Way" attached to some Daesh atrocity involving crippled folks. Really?This is why Lou Grant drank. (And no, I probably wouldn't watch "Born This Way" anyway, at least not for review or anything because a couple of years ago, I decided that "Here's Your News" veered too close to laughing at not with, and I gave it kind of a bad review and killed Peter Pan by not believing in developmentally disabled fairies or some shit.(Plus added bonus headshrinking by strangers...non-self hating cripples apparently love every time "we're" on screen and apparently I should give up writing essays for big smiling emojis.)

I don't know whether to mock or pity the aggressive climate denier who found his way on Grenier's Facebook page...probably both, like the one right-wing "Wire" fan I ever met. "You know you're lost, right?" I don't even know how he got there, except Entourage is of course also beloved by dudebros with shitty politics who otherwise wouldn't know what free-range tits look like

Yikes, Hil. I hope you got everything done.
I'm so glad we inherited a baby swing from a friend because we probably would have never spent the money on one, and ltc loves it! She has so much energy and the swing allows her to flail her arms and legs around all she wants and is high enough up that she can see what we're doing.
