Let's see, congrats to Scrappy on the house and Laura's son for getting the job and being a fantastic human. Congrats to Laura for the toilet assembly! I am impressed.
sj, I hope sj gets over whatever she has going on and you get to have an easy day tomorrow.
Soooo, I met a guy off Tinder and he's kind of adorbs. I'm in the "he has nice hands" phase (he does have nice hands, too). We've been on two dates and unlike the last Mr. Grabby-hands McObsessive, he hasn't even tried to kiss me yet. He has told me that I'm super smart and beautiful. Funny thing is that looking at his very sparse profile, even for Tinder, I couldn't figure out why I swiped right… and then I remembered that the other week my friend and a bartender and I had traded phones and swiped for each other. So I may owe some bartender I had just met ten minutes before a debt of thanks. He's kind of shy, I think, but we've already had some great talks about things. And he has a dry sense of humor. Anyway, who knows, but it's nice to be excited about someone.
Actually ltc was lovely today. All cuddly and listening. We read a lot. And when bath time came around she gave her baby a bath and then sat in the tub continuing to wash her baby up while we washed her up. It was awesome! I feel like I actually did something right as a parent buying her that bath doll and continuing to talk about bath time and not backing down on her taking a bath. Even if it took several weeks for a pay off.
Yay for nice Tinder guy! I hope he continues to be a good fit.
Awwwwwww...adorable tub time. Clearly the result of good and thoughtful parenting!
All ready to roll out of bed at 3:45 am. ME is all set, the windshield is freshly cleaned, my bag is sitting by the door.
Please send her some ~ma. A little extra, it couldn't hurt.
~ma for your friend ME, Katerina Bee. Safe driving and all that good stuff for you.
smonster, sounds like fun getting to know this guy.
That is definitely a parenting win, sj.
Yay LtC! Yay bartender!
I had friends over for dinner and it was so nice, even if some of the stuff we talked about (work, personal life, etc) is so hard. My one friend had to call the cops on her son Saturday after he punched her in the face. But I was so glad she was able to come over and tell us and hang out and give her a back rub and stuff.
He has told me that I'm super smart and beautiful.
Well, I already like this guy.
Awww, so nice to hear that ltc has taken to the bath again.
~ma for ME.
Ugh, meara. Having to call the cops on your kid is hard. Good she has nurturing friends.
My poor son lost one of his friends. One of the boys Bobby went to high school with was bait fishing off a bridge for the billionth time in his life and a car went off the road and killed him. 22 years old. Surfer boy. Everyone loved this kid. Bobby said he never saw him unhappy. Worked 2 jobs, one as a ship's mate and another at a surf shop. Sun streaked long blond hair. Just happy go lucky always on a skateboard or surf board. Hit his friends very hard. You just don't expect to lose people at that age.
meara, that's so hard. I'm sorry for your friend.
Laura, how awful. ~ma to Bobby and to his friend's family.
ltc didn't want to leave her room this morning and actually tried to push me out the door and shut it behind me. This is why we often call her little stinker.
