Also, oatmeal is about 10000000 times more satisfying and can be made ahead and popped into the microwave. Has that whole stick to the ribs factor. I eat cold cereal and I'm hungry again in two hours.

These people must get amnesia after they watch an episode. I cannot even imagine how one could watch that show and get that impression.

I was gonna say...if anyone's the sidekick, it's Ichabod! But really, they seem like a wonderfully evenly-matched team nearly all the time. That show really does it up right in so many ways that someone getting it wrong makes me crazy.

WHAT THE FUCK?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A SIDEKICK? Sleepy Hollow is my favorite show (to an embarrassing degree of fangirlism) and I'm about to lose my damn mind. A fucking sidekick. A sidekick?! What. The. Fuck. Has she even watched one fucking episode of that show?

Thank you for stating all this. Every time I think about the Mossadegh coup I get tears of impotent rage in my eyes. Fuck. I won't ever stop being angry about it.

I'm not gonna lie, I talk about my kids a ton on my Facebook (which is primarily set up to keep older family members abreast of all the kid stuff), BUT when actually socializing I go out of my way not to mention my children unless someone else brings them up first. There's this whole thing with "install this browser…

Keep in mind one problem is that babysitters are very expensive these days. It's no longer really culturally acceptable to leave your kids with the 14-year-old down the street who learned infant CPR at the YMCA a few weekends ago and slip $30 into her hand after you get home from dinner and a movie or drinks with…

I have similar feelings oftentimes. I am a good mom and love my kids intensely, but I'm not good at the little kid stuff (doesn't help that I have 3 under 3, twins and a newly-diagnosed diabetic toddler) and SAHM stuff. All the physical labor is unreal. It's just so much fucking work, especially the being a human…

Well I don't like anti-vaxxing attachment parenting extremists, but you don't hear me making convoluted blog posts about it.

This is fucking amazing. The kind of people who litter are generally not the "teachable" sort, anyway. Supremely satisfying to watch someone throwing nasty garbage back where it belongs, fucking assholes. Then again I'll pick up cigarette butts that people toss aside while walking on the sidewalk and run up to them…

Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts and experiences. We are definitely still in the honeymoon period right now with regards to his pancreas function...I'm just hoping it lasts until my little kids are a little bigger (I have five-month-old twins).

Thanks! I have stumbled across it a couple times now and it does seem to be a good one. I'll do some more reading on it for sure.

Thank you! Can't wait to check it out. :)

Thanks so much. The DKA is terrifying. I made the mistake of Googling "blood pH of 6.7". Basically very few people even get that low before dying. I truly don't know how he lived, but I'm grateful every moment. I've never appreciated living 20ish minutes away from an amazing children's hospital as much as I do now.

Ooh, good point. I will do some searching. I'm sure support from otehr parents will be invaluable, especially since they will know all the good tricks and tips.

I was reading that there is a new pump available for children as young as 2. I've found out through this whole ordeal that the insurance we pay a lot of money for every month is amazing. We have not had to pay for one thing out of pocket yet. I am so, so grateful for that and I realize it's a huge hurdle for a lot of…

Does anyone parent a child with Type 1 diabetes? My son is newly-diagnosed. We just got back from almost a week in the hospital with a staph blood infection and severe DKA (his blood pH was 6.78 when we arrived in the ER, that was some terrifying shit and I can't believe he's alive, but I am so grateful he is).…

Thanks so much for your sweet comment. This comment was from a few weeks after having my first child, and now he's 2.5 and we have 5-month-old twins as well, haha. We figured it out. Also having a live-in maid sounds AMAZING and I'm happy for you, genuinely. Everyone should have a full-time maid! ;)

What is it about the fucking Winter Soldier GODDAMN. I was like raring to go after I got home from that movie, fuck. I'm so not typically into "bad boys" or the whole dark and broody schtick so I have no idea why that character has that effect on me, hfff. I do like the hair. A lot. Mr. Water used to have hair that…

YES. Friends in solidarity. Anything aimed towards "mommies", really, makes me want to strangle myself with my own hands. Facebook shared pictures about "mother's love", memes about how you love your children more because your house is a fucking wreck, etc. Hey, my house is a fucking wreck sometimes too and that's…
