Apparently a loud restaurant for lunch was all I needed at this point to have an anxiety attack. Bad choice on my part. And now my mother is mad. My in laws don't want to be exposed to a sick kid. So our anniversary plans are probably off as well.
Honestly, you meet the most appalling sort of people....

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
askye - go you on catching the brain weasels.
Teppy - you tried to be supportive and he is pissing away every chance he has to make good choices. YOU are caring for yourself and Tim - your priorities are in the right place.
sj - toddlers have an amazing ability to hurt themselves and bounce right back. I think we parents feel more pain than they do when things like this happen.

Yeah, she's fine. I've been pushing through my own pain for a week. So teo mornings of stressing out about her was apparently too much for my body. I'm going to nap while she does and hopefully feel better.

This. You have already gone above and beyond.

Our wings are not tired.
May the nap be renewing for both of you, sj.

Thanks, Laura. I woke up with a headache, but at least I got some sleep.

Tim's boss is paying for not!son to stay in a moderately sketchy motel near work. I have no idea for how long. And, the thing is, since I decided I am staying out of this from now on, then I'm also staying out of this decision, too. Though I told Tim he might want to sit down with his boss tomorrow and be VERY clear about not!son's situation, just so boss knows what's what.
I don't bear not!son any ill will. Certainly not. I don't want him to freeze (the lows are going to be in the 20s this weekend). But *I'm* not going to be responsible for him not freezing any longer. Thanks to Tim's boss, not!son will be warm and can get a shower and a good night's sleep. And that's that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I like that mountain metaphor, KB.
Hope you're rid of the bedbug man for good, Tep.

Tim's boss must like Tim very much to do that for him.

It's a small family business, and the boss is Tim's cousin. Although that certainly doesn't have to mean that Tim's cousinboss likes him a great deal. But yes, he does. His family is, in general, exceptionally good-hearted, kind people.
