So, everyone can stop asking about the baby's name. When I can announce it, I will. Until then, you won't miss it. It'll be written in bold letters on my blog's [ Facebook page ] and probably on the latest blog entry too. Asking and asking and asking and asking isn't going to make it go any faster. It's starting to get really irritating, and some ( Read more... )

(As a note, this blog now has its own site: babyslime-blog.com. Blogging sites like Livejournal and Opendiary are awesome, but they're not exactly at the top of their game and it's about time I put my blog in its own space where it can't be lost when these sites finally go down. Right now it's a bit bare, but it is easier to network, share posts on ( Read more... )

You know, when you have big milky breasts you can't win in the "professionalism" department. It's just never going to work. Not unless you can shell out a million dollars for custom-tailored suits or some shit. I spent two solid days going through my wardrobe trying to find something to wear that ( Read more... )

Here is a current list of what is pissing me off right now ( Read more... )

My mom, for some reason, picked up this antique mirror that she saw at a garage sale some weeks ago. It's like six feet tall and only cost about $10. She has a thing for big old mirrors. Anyway, we have nowhere to put it so it's been sitting against a bookshelf in our living room for a while. It's quite heavy so it's not going anywhere ( Read more... )

I think we're finally starting to come out of the other side of the tunnel of snot and assholery that The Winter Sick™ has gifted us this season. Curtis and I feel vaguely nauseated due to clogged sinuses, and baby continues to lose her body weight in snot every 16 hours, but other than that we're on the mend ( Read more... )

Baby Z has her first cold and an off-and-on fever that she's working through. We gave her Tylenol on the second night after the first was far too hellish to repeat, and she was much happier (and less feverish) in the morning once she'd had a good night's rest. Neither Curtis nor I felt like we should continue dosing her, as in spite of the fact ( Read more... )

Thank you everyone who wrote something. It was an amazing outpouring of support, personal stories and advice. Even those who swore their story was nothing positive… was in a way. It showed that above all things can and will get better in the end. You're worth something, you're worth more. I feel like taking all the notes on that entry and showing ( Read more... )

Wednesday:Tempest has yet to take off the Helldress and petticoat: she's worn them every hour of every day since I gave them to her, and only removed them for sleep after I recommended it to lengthen the life of the dress. I guess that's a good review ( Read more... )

What is a 'shitty' mother? What makes a bad parent in your eyes? Is it someone who doesn't breastfeed? Someone who yells at their kids? Someone who hits their kids? Someone who won't even have kids? Someone who has children while poor, or disabled, or mentally ill, or Atheist, or Republican ( Read more... )
