Poor Saige barfed several more times, and I ended up changing her crib about three times. Saige was a real trooper and after everything was over, went right back to sleep with no problems. Darcy actually got more upset than Saige; she became very upset and worried with each of Saige’s new barfing episodes, and didn’t want me to leave the room. But I finally got them settled down. When they got up Saige played and ate as if nothing ever happened.

Knowing it was only a matter of time, I placed a bowl and some scrunchies to tie my hair back on my nightstand. I ended up needing these items about 3:30 in the morning last night, and didn’t stop until about 7:30. After that sleep was impossible. My whole body is pissed off.

But there must be a God, because this thing waited until just hours after Bruce came home to get me. I honestly don’t know what I would have done if I was alone with this, cuz I can barely stand up, let alone take care of the girls. I am useless and Bruce has been on twin-duty all day.

In other news, Miss C is very down lately. Nothing seems to be working out for her. She went to Colorado to look for work and that didn’t pan out, she’s answered several personals ads and nobody’s called back, and the only thing she’s gotten from the flyers we handed out at the Farmer’s Market is perverts calling for hand jobs. I feel so bad for her. She’s doing everything she’s supposed to and trying so hard, and her hopes are just evaporating with each new disappointment. I think the lack of response for dates has been especially hard on her, but the fact that guys seem to be reading her ads for massage as veiled prostitution has been a real bummer too. It really sucks…I mean, at least nobody’s going to mistake my gig for anything but computer work. She’s spent over $1000 in massage school training and supplies and all she’s getting is asshats calling for sex. Ugh.

And yes, she’s aware of the bitter irony about how she could solve both her problems at once here.

Now I’m going to attempt to start wrapping some Christmas presents while the girls are snoozing, and maybe see if I can keep down some yogurt.

Flickr’s finally getting some mainstream attention.

“Because of the ways photos become part of groups, they can draw interest long after they were posted.

“Your photos really never go stale like they do on a lot of photo sites, (where) your photos from even a month ago nobody looks at anymore,” said Fake. “But on Flickr, they’re constantly part of these dynamic groups (and) they come up in somebody else’s search.”
