We ended up going to the library and were pleasantly surprised to find the "Paws to Read" program in effect! Basically they bring therapy dogs in and have kids read to them -- to encourage literacy and general interest in books.

It's so sad that DS wants sweets so bad he'll eat really stale Christmas cookies.
So I used to go to yoga on Wednesday nights when it was just DS sn'and I loved it. I stopped about 2 years ago and haven't gone since DD was so dependent on me for bedtime (I go on Sat mornings now). Thinking about going now that DH has done bedtimes a few nights this month...question: if you know your partner is having a low patience kind of night, would you go? Or stay and help out? I'm trying to think of what I would want, but then he never thinks of that before going on his marathon bike rides...

Oh and inspired by all the chicken and dumplings talk here yesterday, I made chicken pot pie with biscuits on top. That Damn Delicious girl--if I ever meet her in person I am gonna give her a smack on the lips. There is literally nothing not awesome on her site.

subliminalrabbit You were the one who posted the story about all the crazy things in Goodnight Moon, right? Now every time G and I read that, I see those damn bears on chairs in marriage counseling. And I can't stop laughing.

heelibrarian - re: going out during bedtime. If it was something like a prearranged class with a set start time and DH's knowledge then yes I would. If it was something with a flexible start I might help out a bit before leaving just to eliminate some of the stress if DH seemed really close to losing it.
I've been glued to the TV since last night. The train accident that happened here occurred on my line. Thankfully all of my friends who ride it are safe and were not one of the 6 deceased. Some of the victims were from the town next door. So sad and the more information that comes out makes it appear that it was a terrible accident.

I havent watched today but yesterday i had wondered if the driver of the SUV parked there to commit suicide. Its all so terrible.
I thought it was a suicide too cl8badb but the more I read and hear it just looks like she made a last minute stupid decision that killed herself and 5 others. It might have been the timer on the railroad bars. Just so sad. I've taken that train dozens of times.
subliminalrabbit I really hope E does a better job sleeping for you tonight. My guy went from STTN about 90% of the time for the past month (a miracle!) to waking up 2-3 times begging to nurse the past 4 nights. He must be teething, but I don't want to start motn nursing sessions again, so I've been holding out. It makes for long wake up sessions and I'm exhausted. I can't imagine going through this regression for as long as you have and really hope your H gets on board fast.
I forget who was talking about this the other day - but I got irrationally annoyed with DH when he told me he was taking LO over to the ILs early this morning because his parents were making them breakfast. He does the morning with LO once a week, I do it the other 6 days without help. He can't handle it on his one for one morning? It goes with the whole "I just want him to know what it's like to be me" feeling that we were talking about a few days ago.
