Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

My parents always told me the first kid is like the first pancake. Don't worry if you screw it up - you can always make more.

Definitely true for some.

So, for 48 hours, N has not slept more than an hour at a time. It means that I have not slept for more than that either. My head hurts. My dulce de leche is not putting a dent in the sheer exhaustion I am feeling.

Moreover, N hasn't really eaten anything in 48 hours. He has a sore on his tongue like I get when I have too much citric acid and a sore on his lip. He wants nothing. Yesterday, he barely touched the ice cream I tried to tempt him with. Not even Porto's cheered me or baby up (N didn't even want to eat his potato ball, inspite of being really excited to see them).

I am so tired and feel pretty well done at this point.

In other news? Today is standardized testing at school. The upside? ALMOST DONE with the year and I really don't have to do anything other than proctor the test.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I think I may take a day off this week. I may also speak to my boss about taking a week of unpaid leave in the summer.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

msbelle, a free day off sounds like an excellent plan. A week even more so, of course.

I am sorry for everyone having crappy days!

Unpaid leave = sucky but if you can get it, it'll do you a world of good.

I want to take time off while my son had time at daycare so I can just veg.

Oh. did I mention that we got a call yesterday saying Grace has rotovirus?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Oh, Kat, that's a LOT on your plate all at once. I hope you and Msbelle both get some time to recover.

I have such deep admiration for Buffista parents.

“Not dead yet!”

Ugh on all the crappy Mondays.

Mine's pretty even so far, at least with one bright spot-- my fastest response ever on a query that wasn't a rejection. Fourteen minutes for an agent to respond with a request for a full manuscript. Go me. (Of course, it's not the manuscript I really wish an agent would be interested in, but I'll take what I can get at the moment...)

Go, Barb!

Ditto.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
