Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

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

Thrive to spite them

E is going to be 16 next month. Kids need to stop growing.

I love both dresses, and you will look so fabulous in either one.

E is going to be 16 next month. Kids need to stop growing.

The first year we went to the beach with Tim's family, youngest niece was 8. We're headed back to the beach Saturday, and youngest niece, who is now a doctor working in a hospital, will be at the beach also, with her husband. The passage of time blows my tiny little mind.

This kids need to stop growing so fast. ltc will be 9 in a couple of weeks!

Our wings are not tired.

My nephew Negasi is 9. A super fun age. But yikes, so much energy. My 14 yo nephew has settled into the sleep late eat constantly phase. Less exhausting. He is going to the gym with me every day and is psyched about muscles.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

One of my co-workers occasionally brings her son into the office. He's maybe 9? anyway, it's exhausting just having him around. Great kid, but high energy.

There's a cluster of our great-niecephews who are all under 10, and they are made entirely of energy. They could power a city.

ltc is awesome in every way, but she is also utterly exhausting sometimes. She can talk for HOURS.

I can relate... or, my relatives can, anyway. My "Aunt" Betty was watching me for my mom one day; she gave me a tape recorder, showed me how to use it, and let me do my thing... because I never stopped talking, and she just needed a damn break. I, meanwhile, had the time of my life with that thing. Guess whose parents bought her one post haste? Ha!

It’s been amazing since ltc has learned to read silently. There are whole hours where we don’t hear from her at all. She forgot to bring a book with her just now to moms and the whole ride was torture. I’m hoping they’ll have a book she wants at the store because I’ll pay anything for a quiet ride home.
