So the 3 year old - when he was supposed to be in bed - dismantled the baby monitor, snuck out of his room, accessed my computer, googled himself, opened the app store and tried to buy a snowboarding game, then threw away a couple of the files on my desktop. Two words: Baby. Stewie. |

As for the 3 year old, I'm sorry but.... ![]() I thought my kid was smart. I to the three year old in your home, and I offer in the hopes that his diabolicalness does not infect my kid. Just think, you only have, oh a minimum of 15 years more of this.All my kid does is take the cordless phone apart, or take pictures with my cell. So far. |

For the love of all that's holy, please, SOMEBODY come shoot me now. I'd do it myself, but I'm hurting too bad to reach the shotgun.
Okay, if you won't do that, pour me some wine or something. Vodka may not be in the physician's desk reference, but, as I recall, it's a terrific muscle relaxer.

Oh, trust me, this is SOOO not about Bad Touching; my husband would object to that as strongly as your wife. Back, neck, shoulders.

How is this done? *sounds of thinking* Also, I was thinking about what Fen said about the fridge automatically adjusting the calendar and ordering stuff and so on, and I thought, what if someone hacked your fridge? So you got stuff that you didn't like or were allergic to, or all your stuff went to someone else or just never got ordered. I hope they do good security on these things or supermarkets might get floods of orders for non existent things or something. Possibilities and endless are two words that come to mind.

I'd rather be horizontal.
Rainy days do that to me...

Ok, anyone have any words they tend to over use I can look for in my story? I think I'm running out of easy things to cut. I'm looking for adjectives next, though since my MC is oblivious, there aren't that many to begin with. |

I envision 10s as a sniper, dressed in a ghillie suit of snark, waiting patiently for the right moment to make her smexy kill-shot.

Morning all. today is another massive copy all the things day. Ohhh what fun.
You have impressive kiddo there Hilz. All mine ever did was scream until they fell asleep (nightly ritual for oldest when he was 2-3.) Now, they are teenagers and I won't tell you what they were "researching" on their laptops... Junie, I'll give you a massage, and sit and drink a few with you. Turns out these darn sunny days are making all my joints ache. The spring walks have commenced. Tomorrow, going to start walking at lunch. If I walk a few times a day, the extra fluffyness will come off easier.

10 was in an MRI machine, providing her neurologist with a good view of the vessels in her brain.
