FAQ: Quell the sadness edition
1. If I run out of Hyland's Teething Tablets should I wait several days before getting more or should I run with all haste to the nearest teething tablets distributor to replenish my supply?
You should run with all haste. No, nursing won't "do" in a pinch. Unless, of course, you want to stay up all night long with the baby. Upon taking the teething tablets, you will notice a demonstrable calm settle over baby who, like, all of a sudden is going to sleep of all things!
2. I have a hard time at the end of the day, say from about 4 pm on. It is a very chaotic time and my patience is thin. Any ideas to help me relax?
Well, I have found that well-timed glass of wine, preferably shared with ones spouse over dinner does wonders to relax and rejuvenate the parenting soul to soldier on through bedtime. Yes, relaxing and rejuvenating are kind of opposites. Um. I'm too tired to sort this one out. And then when the kids are in bed, you can either a) have another glass or b) have coffee ice cream with chocolate syrup on it.
3. The DVD player is not hooked up, what should i do with my sick kid?
Let him watch a DVD on your laptop.
4. We're moving in two weeks. I stink at packing. What should I do?
Weep, sort papers, weep, watch hubby mow through boxes like a freaky packing machine. Focus on how you'll have three times the space and can walk to school. Eyes on the prize!

Moving sucks, my dear! (I've finally learned to begin by what's supposed to be the title, given your smart comment display)
And I wish I could help somehow. I do have boxes, do you need boxes? If I didn't have two boys who might get in the way of things, I'd come over and help... Hey, wanna meet at the Arboretum before you move some afternoon? We should try it, cause then later you'll be farther away, right? Oh, and our membership expires at the end of October... Sigh.
yes, yes, Lilian, we really
yes, yes, Lilian, we really should meet up at the Arboretum. Looks like we're in for another patch of rainy days. Maybe at the next patch of sunny days. And I DO want to see YOUR house. The infamous house. ;-) After we move, yes, I'll be further from the Arboretum, but not too far.
For some reason this is one
For some reason this is one of the funniest things I've read in days. Maybe it's the irony coupled with Marlowe sobbing. Here's a cyber hug for all of you. :)
Hey, talk more about your
Hey, talk more about your move if you have a minute-- how did that arise? I know you've needed more space, so that part sounds awesome, as well as being closer to the city. =) Jack is on the job market right now for any great jobs that come up in cities we want to live in, so I've been eyeing our stuff suspiciously lately, dreading having to pack up and move whenever that transpires. Doesn't help that I'm getting nesting big time right now. I hope you guys are dealing well with all of it-- hugs!!

My resolution for #2 is to put Lil' Fellow to bed early! Like as early as 5:30! YAY! ;-)
Ooh, that will be nice! To
Ooh, that will be nice! To walk Ellis to school and be in a space three times the size of the space you are in now. Keep me posted on your new digs (would love to see pics!). Good luck with the move!
Oh, I definitely feel your
Oh, I definitely feel your pain and sorrow over #4. Instead of lots of crying, there's been lots of fighting off panic attacks. Yeah. I hate moving. Hate, hate, hate. Will be thinking of you as I find space in boxes for my random crap...and when I then try to find a spot for my random crap in the new house! :-)
Oh, and your comment on my recent post about blogging was insightful and helpful! Love your comments!
