Sweet merciful crap, I have not had such a bad night with Rose since she was an infant, and possibly not even then. She woke up screaming every 20 minutes to every hour.

Ohhhhhhhh new light fixtures, they are so awesome!!!

Cora's breakfast followed by cozy tea at a friend's house with Rose and my friend's six-month-old happily zoodling along on their own trajectories in the background. Come to find out, she went the VBAC route when he was born and had nothing but support and ( Read more... )

Seriously fed up with computers right now. OMFG. Hard drive salvaged from old computer appears to have died, because naturally when it was first removed and still functional I decided I didn't have time to mess with it right then. WHY WHY WHY WHY did I not just copy everything over first!! DVDROM continues to not work at all; CDROM works about ( Read more... )
