Sounds of Silence




My baby girl. Sound asleep and SUCKING HER THUMB. Donovan wasn't a thumb sucker. Donovan was also a snuggler, loved for you to hold him and be lovey dovey smoochy with him. His sister? Oh no, she's on the move. Likes to see the action. There's something on tv? I must turn and look - nevermind that I was JUST screaming for a bottle and have to crane my neck to see the show thus pulling the once almighty bottle from my mouth. No, it's ok, I wanna see. That's my girl.

Hi Trish,

My world and your world are pretty much the same right now and I can really identify with your comments. My daughter (#2 5 months) is exactly the same way. Crying and fussing for the bottle and then when feeding time starts interested in everthing else except feeding! I quit trying to chase the mouth. When she cranes the neck...she loses the nipple! Now I feel lucky b/c she is just learning (last week) to hold the bottle herself...THANK GOD! Your comments tickled me b/c I've thought the same things myself before and I could readily empathize.

Customer Appreciation Day

Dear Crotchety Broad, While I love my job and think it's the easiest one in the world to have, I do not think dealing with your ass was easy. Here are some highlights from my fabulous time with you: When your cashier is ringing up your precious produce, putting the codes in (from memory thank you very much), don't start trash talking her. I didn't hear you ask if I needed help because, well, um, I was busy ringing your shit up. When I look up because I heard something , don't look at me and say, " HELLO??" all sarcastic and shit. I will squish your tomatos, avocados and bread. When I ask if you have coupons, that's generally a sign that I am not a mind reader, can't see in your purse and can't predict the future (contrary to what you may think dear customer). As a refresher, here's our coversation: Loverly Cashier: Did you have any coupons today ma'am? (and that ma'am part may or may not have been choked out of my throat) Crotchety Broa...

She Was Heartbroken

After reading about Kim and Reggie breaking up, the Monkey had a moment of silence to reflect on the love that is no longer there. And then she ate part of the page. Fiber! She needs fiber ya know! She wasn't as into the Saved By The Bell article like her favorite Auntie was (ahem) but she did kiss Zack Morris. No lie. Puckered right on up and layed one on him. He hasn't been the same since.
