Rescuing now so I won't have to find it on the second page later.

We seem to have bored everybody away. You'll be lucky if it's only on the 2nd page the next time you look! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> In fact, the way we're going, you might need a expeditionary rescue team to find it by the time you come back on the board. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I'll log on after I sleep, though, and tell you about a recent and extremely funny incident with my favorite Chinese nurse. Learning a new language can be SUCH an adventure. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

found it today, on the second page.

Launched another rescue mission.

giving cinderella a hand!

Well, here. I'll liven things up with nipples and a bit of gas.

Yesterday on the way home from church, Nerdboy heisted AJ's broken tube from his apnea machine, placed one end by his rear and the other by the Dervish's nose, laid the gas on heavily and said, "Smell!" I hope you all feel better about your own children now.

My nipples have been extraordinarily sore lately. They were tender during pregnancy, as is usual, but had gotten better. The last couple of weeks they have been really bad again, and AJ seems to have found out why. The other night, he woke up somewhere in the wee sma's and found himself vigorously twiddling. There is no guessing how many other times this has happened when he didn't wake up.

Why can't he just grind his teeth?

Hey, be glad you have someone there to twiddle....You know, my pillow just doesn't do things like that.

Twiddle dee twiddle ummmmmmmmmmmmm lol

Men can be so funny, as in strange

No, really? I thought you meant humorous!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Actually, "strange" is being polite. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And what's YOUR excuse for sleeping through multiple twiddling episodes of sufficient intensity to produce noticeable post-twiddling discomfort? I don't have any trouble imagining a somnolent male Twiddler on the Roof, whose fingers remained in drive even after his brain shifted to neutral. But I don't understand sleep so sound that you missed it, too! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />



That's all right. I'm grinding mine for him! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> And you, for that matter.

t&l

I never used to sleep this soundly, but apparently I lost so many hours of sleep during the A - often getting only 3-4 hours/night (and those hours were not deep sleep, because any sound would wake me up in case he was getting home, leaving home, or getting up to call Certain People), that I sleep like a dead woman now. I'm guessing that at some point he does bring me into shallow enough sleep that I guard my chest, otherwise he would eventually wake me up with his excessive persistence.

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I was going to use the rolleyes emoticon, but I see you used it already. Honestly, the next thing you know you're going to both be sleeping through the entire act and will wake up in the morning and not know how your sink got broken. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Aussie has been like a caged animal the last day or so. Though I may need to throw him a raw steak or two <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> but he put Michael down tonight and seems to be more settled. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

AW is asleep.
She was talking to me one minute, yawned and said I feel so tired, then asleep. Aussie got her to bed.

Meanwhile Grumpy I want to retire I've had enough AW's dad is working another evening shift

Hi AWMum, it's a good thing you're there to keep us informed. These little glimpses into the world of AW, A2, and Mikey are just priceless! We are so thankful to you. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

They probably think you've either not noticed, or forgot the significance of what you're seeing. Perhaps, like Neaksis, they assume (i.e., hope desperately) they were brought to their parents by a gender-neutral stork, back in the days before the younger generations invented sex. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


He's probably in there twiddling her nipples! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />


Are you talking about your husband? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> I didn't know MY husband had an Australian twin. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Off to bed. The sun is shining, and I'm very sleepy.

Still have not yet worked out the box thingies. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Yes the gender neutral stork has been very busy over here as well during the years.
I mean the shock on my oldest daughters face whe she found out that her dad and I married when she was 8 months old <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
I tried to explain the 60's to her and her dad being over in Vietnam but all she could do was keep repeating to herself
'but you weren't married!!" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

So much for a University education in Medicine

AW's comment at the time was "but they didn't DO things like that way back then" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

SO I told them "ok no I was just pulling your leg" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Yes Grumpy is my husband. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />
His heart is in the right place, its just that sometimes I think the right place is a specimen jar at the University <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

That's OK...sometimes I think my husband's specimen jar would be empty!!!!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> Sometimes. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

If you like these little emoticons, and I see that you do, you need to have AW show you the emoticons she uses in her emails. They move. They bulge. They dance. They crack me up. They whip the MB emoticons' butts! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Really, I'm going to bed now. I can't understand why nobody believes me when I say that! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

P.S. Good morning, Neak. I absolutely, positively, definitely, indubitably, emphatically, unequivocally, and without a doubt, did NOT read your advice about the massage oils and sheer bed garments. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> I'm putting on my flannel now and my big, fuzzy bathrobe, with my warm socks, and going to bed. You take your advice. I'll take mine! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I just had to wonder what new, more shocking thing I would have to think of to rescue this poor thing from page 3. Nothing really shocking has happened...do I have to make it up?

Well, ok, one shocking thing did, but not like that. Last night the Dervish was VERY NAUGHTY (no shock), SO NAUGHTY that I shipped his little butt off to bed early (no shock), and he actually laid down and fell asleep (SHOCK!). Usually I would have to stir up his 'llergies any number of times and put him back in bed when he got up, so this was pretty strange. I'll have to check him and make sure he's not getting sick.

AJ has been playing this funny virtual aquarium, feeding and cross-breeding the fish. It is nearly as gripping as the fly-fishing or golf games. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

psst....Neak....have you seen your newest critique on Amazon?
