A Merc's Life [OOC 01]

[Maidhc O Casain]

An odd thing - I used to find boring kid stories, well, boring. Until I had one; now I love 'em!

Your child 'failing his dex check' reminds me of an earthquake i was in in early 1970's while living in Los Angeles. I was in a top bunk and the quake threw me off the bed to a concrete floor, 6 feet down.

Yeah it's been quite mild here. We broke a record for days in August under 30 C (86F), which was very enjoyable for me, especially when I got my electric bill.

Glad to hear it was a good time, that's one thing I enjoy just relaxing at a cottage/out of the city with family/friends. (I'm actually spending time right now with my boys, we're all up together)

We're transitioning to real beds from cribs as we were worken up on Friday to the sound of Jude attempting to crawl out of the crib and falling his dex check, falling to the hardwood below. He was fine, but that day we set-up their normal beds (the cribs convert to beds). This is night #3, #1 was horrible, yesterday was fine, today back to being bad.

Ryan, you have twins, right? Jude and ____? And how do you KNOW it was jude that fell? He could have changed clothes with his brother while you were asleep. Are the horrible nights bad for both twins (which maked it so horrible for M&D), or do they take tuns having a horrible night every other night? (And so then they would only have one horrible night apiece every 4 nights. If the second is the case, I applaud their ingenuity and efficiency!)

Suggestion for twin names -- Jude and The Dude! [What was that movie where Jeff ___ played "The Dude"? It had something to do with bowling, I think?]

An odd thing - I used to find boring kid stories, well, boring. Until I had one; now I love 'em!

The thing is, I love 'em, too. So I guess it has more to do with us getting old than you having kids?

Ouch! Yet another reason NOT to live in LA, as if anyone needed more than one....

Jude & Jack are their names. Usually it's just one of them who gets up (thankfully not alternating nights any more, the frequency has dropped off dramatically) Last night was both of them though, and mom was sick so dad had the fun of being up from 1:30 to 5:00 am with them, then get up at 6:30 for work and to get them ready for their daycare. Thankfully, work is slow today.

Wow, man, I'll put you in for a medal! 1:30-5:00 is a SUPER-DUPER, POWER FUSS if there ever was one!

Just remembeer: being sick is temporay and being a k8id is likewise temporary if they survive (that alone being a topic of endless discussion!)

Lets just say, first that there are ythose who thought Mathusala was my son,

and second: When I say surviving childhood, I am talking about the phrase:" boy, I brought you into this world and I can take you out!'. this phrase usually is preceaded by some action by some unknown kid *ahem, quit pointing at me guys!* that would deserve some long and arderous death by torture.

Well last night they worked together well. Jude was up from 1:30 to 3-ish, Jack woke up from 3-ish to 5... They're like raptors, they work together. The best is seeing them gang up on my in-laws cat, one of them distract it while the other circles around from behind and grabs the cat by the tail... It's pure greatness... I need to get it on tape.
