No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

After all that, the think that I felt was truly unbelievable with Reva is that they did a storyline about her having a baby AFTER they did a storyline about her going through menopause! I think. I watched very sporadically after 1999.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I just found a job posting that ended with this:

The consultant must have the ability to manage the creation of multiple documents at once which includes cross-referencing for consistency and contradictions.
A strong tolerance for ambiguity is a must as well.

Because books.

I watched really sporadically in the 90s. I think I remember the Amish thing, but the rest of it not so much. I do remember Marah being born. I had a mad crush on Josh, too.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Kate, would she be content if you put books or something else quiet near her crib? I used to do that with my kids, and it sometimes worked for a little while.

That would be worth a try, Amy. She's so used to one of us coming in when she wakes up, though, that it might take her a while to figure out that there are other things she can do when she wakes up, especially when it's still pitch-black out (like this morning).

Really, I think we need to get her a little more used to doing stuff on her own even when we're awake. (That's one of the downsides of being a working parent, to me: I feel like I "owe" her all my time on the weekends because I don't spend weekdays with her, so when she's home, she's usually doing something with either M or me, and doesn't spend as much time amusing herself as she could.)

Why would tenured faculty not get offices?? That's very weird. And why do you have to do this guys dirty work?

Joy. Now I've been instructed to deal with the tenured faculty. Dude, do your own dirty work.

Sparky, that's unbelievable. Ugh.

I hate this guy, Sparky.

I just mapped a 1 mile walk in my neighborhood and i think I am taking the dog on a walk when I get home. The goal is to be able to jog a couple of miles on the road in a couple of weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

(That's one of the downsides of being a working parent, to me: I feel like I "owe" her all my time on the weekends because I don't spend weekdays with her, so when she's home, she's usually doing something with either M or me, and doesn't spend as much time amusing herself as she could.)

This is interesting -- I just heard a thing about a study that shows that children of middle-class working parents today spend more time with their parents than children of middle-class housewives did in the 50s/60s. (I'm also interested in the switch from housewife to SAHM, which tells sort of the same story...) Granted, that includes older children than yours!
