She got put in the slammer after a round of book mangling. Including my copy of "Knitting Rules!" the little shit.
As predicted, I ran out of steam on the socks (still hope to finish them by Monday - we're going to the state fair this weekend and I have the car ride up and back to knit on them) and decided to do some large gauge knitting and started the husbeast's sweater. Listen to me. "Large Gauge". It's four or five stitches to the inch on size 7/4.5mm needles. Large. (Of course I spent the last two months knitting a sweater on size one needles.)
The cat got one last finger in her ear, lost her temper, smacked the baby on the hand (no claws used) and stalked off to the office to hide:
The cat's favorite 'stressed behavior' is to jump all over me in the middle of the night. I can't wait.
The husbeast DID get home from work early, at least, earlier than midnight like we'd expcted (there are great machinations going on in his shop; they've only three people qualified to do the inspections needed, and one of them feels that since he is the ranking enlisted person, he shouldn't have to do any work; today he was informed otherwise) and played with the baby. I'm pretty sure the horridness of the last two days was because she wanted Dadad, not the teething like I thought. Soon as he came home, it was happy baby time. All giggles and smiles and clapping.
Little shit.

Soak a wash rag in the liquid of your choice, put it in the freezer, then give it to baby to chew on. That should help with the teething.
And then there's always children's benadryl - of course, only if she's allergic to the teething!
You get MONEY if you win at your state fair?????? All I got was a blue ribbon - even the best of show only got a year's membership in the local knitter's guild chapter - but MONEY??? Now I'm REALLY rooting for you to win!
Poor baby...they do miss their daddies, don't they?
Poor mom...mom's really miss the daddies--not only is he the only adult in the house to talk to, he's mom's only chance to shower/shit/and have a complete thought... and when he's gone, the rest goes out the window.
Try a banana cold from the fridge or a carrot... it sort of works for my daughter - but watch out for the flying objects when it doesn't work... and a cold banana is *hard* when it hits you in the face!
Louiz.
i dunno, she's still cute even when she's grizzly and being a shit. :-)
