this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh! Also, since my illness is lingering, I've watched almost all of S2 of The OC over the long weekend. I remember watching it when it first aired, but I only got about 1/3 of the way into the season, so I didn't catch any of the INSANO shit from the back part of the season. Alcoholism! People getting shot! Caleb dying!

Kinda exhausting, really. And not as good as S1.

But through both seasons, Julie Cooper is consistently AWESOME.

You could just add footnotes to your posts, like "from the old Danish folklore."

  • * from Icelandic Mythology?

Noah bit Grace on the arm today and when asked why he said, "She was in my way." Oh dear. I'd love to bite everyone who got in my way too. That seems unlikely though. And unsanitary.

Because books.

Welcome home, Sox fam! I put up pictures of Sara's hair in LJ and Flickr, btw.

"She was in my way."

Some days I want a rocket launcher for that.

Yay for Sox being home!

I had a very hearty beef stew dinner with my folks (next time I cut the meat in half: waaaay too much beef in the recipe), and now I'm home and not wanting to go to work tomorrow either. Bah.

The status is NOT quo.

I have five exams left. I do not want to grade them. What I want is one of those miniature Carvel ice cream cakes to nom. Why won't someone just bring me one?

Welcome home, Sox and ita!

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

Would it work better for him to have to earn computer and ds time by completing things, rather than lose privileges for not getting stuff done?

yeah, nothing really works.

that post I made before, 7:50 our time. It was more than 2 hours later before he was asleep AND still no bath, and I still read to him, AND there was screaming and hitting walls and making threats.

I have applied lambic, cheese, and chips and my mood is slightly better.

He got a good strong tongue lashing, including punctuated curses - after half an hour of him banging on my door and screaming he wished I would die and stuff about hitting my face. About half an hour after that he was crying it out and got hugs and backrubs.

I fear these episodes are so much like emotionally abusive relationships on both sides that unless we find some solutions in the next few months, that even though they happen more rarely, that the damage is getting too deep.

excuse the rambling run-on sentences.

Oh msbelle. I don't even know what to say.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I really hope you find some solutions that work for you guys, msbelle. You really are showing so much strength and love in a difficult (for both of you) situation.

Kat, do you use needleless syringes and reuse them? I am loathing the ones I am using for Kittenish's meds.
