I admit it

[cibby]

I've complained about motherhood before, I know. This isn't new ground for me. But I am finally going to admit something for the thousandth time. Only this time it's official. My baby is a crabby baby. I'd love to say colic but I'm not sure that's a fair description of a teeny tiny dictator who is cuter than words in her righteous anger at her

I always read your kid!venture posts, but have nothing intelligent to contribute, being without progeny. *L*

I will say that my great grandma *totally* rubbed whiskey on all of our gums when we were teething, and none of us are stunted or anything. Hee. My mom once told me she suspected her of putting some in my bottle when I was colicky, too, and then claiming that I would only settle down for her(granny) because she had the magic touch. *L*

You have plenty intelligent to post. I appreciate that you do. Some days I feel like I'm annoying when I talk about the kids.

Oh yeah. I remember getting a cold one time and my Memaw gave me some sort of whiskey concoction with lemon juice claiming it would help with my coughing. Sure it will. I'm drunk. hehehehe It was only a shot sized portion but I remember thinking it was vile. My Mom told me that when I was younger the gas drops they sold for colic had some sort of narcotic in them. Why'd they discontinue those, I ask you?

My MIL told me about those narcotic drops, and I really think they need to bring those back!

Dominar Adam the Eighth outgrew his Bumbo. He's growing too fast!

And "they" can always kiss my patoot.

If it makes you feel better, you're not the only one.

My youngest niece, Jaycee, just turned two, and she has all these health problems the likes of which rival the ones I developed at the age of 20 when I was working my ass off at that job that nearly killed me. But she's had them since birth. Terribly inconvenient, what with newborns not being able to tell you what's got them all pissed off, and everything.

When she was about Dominar Audrey's age, her Daddy(OB2) told me, "It's a good thing we don't live in a house with higher levels. I'd have jumped out a window, weeks ago!"

His poor wife, too. To add insult to injury, my youngest nephew (OB3's kid) was born just a month earlier and, until he started teething, he was the most low-maintenance sack of potatoes ever born. You could literally set him in his car seat and he'd be fine for hours, just chillin'.

Made Jaycee's Mom feel like she'd birthed Rosemary's Baby. ;Þ

Sounds like Cameron...she was attached to me the entire first year...

I suggest Cherry Vodka... Grey Goose is too expensive. Even for an Empress in Training!
