sleep . . . I'll take sleep for $200, Alex.

Okay, I'll sing to you then ... er ... Steph.

Steph ... are you still there? Steph?

Awwww, come on, it wouldn't have been that bad. ;)

LOL maybe tomorrow?

<----bursts out in song, "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I'll love 'ya, tomorrow. You're only a day away."

<--- will not be baited in to singing again! Too much controversy!

Don't you like musicals?

I love musicals. While I loved a lot of them, I still think West Side Story was one of my very favorites. (I know, that dates me a bit.)

<----is a HUGE Phantom of the Opera fan.

Love it, too. You have good taste, IAKG.

I've seen it in Louisville, LA, and NYC, DB. I play the music, and the songs were the first I learned when I took voice lessons. Ironically, when I started working for the law firm five years ago, my computer password to the computer they gave me was Phantom-related. ;)

That's neat. I admire your musical talents.

Nope, just a Phantom fanatic. :D

Eek. I'm not a fan of Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Eek? Did you see a mouse?

I don't know why I use 'eek' but I like it :)

Eek is nice. :)

Was meeting IAK nice?

Absolutely. What a great family!

You met the kids, too?

Yep. Terrific kids, too. Must take after their mom and dad. Dah. :D :D

OMG, you're talking about me! :D

:D :D

Psssst. Did you tell Steph how well-behaved they were? You know, so she'll take them for a year or two? ;)

I thought that went without saying. You'd think if she knew you and your husband she'd know that already! Just don't give them a keyboard and Pixies nickname or they'll stay up too late. :D :D

Did I stumble back to page 30 or so of this thread? When did I become the child-care Pixie again?

Rent'm before you own'm Steph!

Dudes, you'd be paying ME!

What? You mean you'd want money for an opportunity like that? :D

Everyone should have a least one week of their life dedicated to taking care of someone else's kids all by themselves so they know if they would be any good at it.

Meanwhile ... back at the ranch ....

...I've pawned one off for most of the day. :D

Look at the clever one. I'm impressed. :)

Whatever happened to drwinxp - the person who started this thing in the first place?

(I changed the subject, people!)

I saw pics of my co-worker's newborn today. If anyone was less ready than me for kids, it's him! :) The little guy is darling, though.

Little ones are usually very cute.

Yes, they are :)

Unless they go poopy at the wrong time. ;)

Or the boy pee pees with his diaper off . . .

It's worse when you're *changing* his diaper and that happens.

That's exactly what I was picturing! :)
