My daughter finally figured out she can get out of bed by herself.

So far, she's been out here for three separate drinks of water, two trips to the bathroom and one memorable "I forgot to put my dvds away."

Sheesh.

She keeps this up, and I'm going to staple her blankets to the mattress with a small hole for breathing.

I'm about three pages into my fic for the Strangers ficathon (I have no idea how to do the word count thing), and already I've narrowly missed diving into the smut. Cripes. You know what will be the scary thing?

If I finish this pup in time for trick or treating.

Did I mention we have twenty three writers participating?

Oct. 31st is gonna rock.

When my parents were growing up, it was don't put your baby on their back, cause they'll die. Now it's don't put your baby on their stomach because they'll die.

No one knows yet what causes SIDS. I'm honestly thinking that it some of it has to do with the uber religious creepos who abuse their kids in the name of God. There was a group on LJ mentioned a while back. One mother decided to train her newborn to only feed 3 times a day. Dude. If you don't want to feed someone every 2 freaking hours, DON'T GET PREGNANT!!! DUH!!! I do wonder, though, if these are the same idiots who don't believe in using contraception. I can understand not believing in using contraception, but I don't understand refusing to use it even if you want to have all the sex and not get pregnant. Yes, there's abortion, but even though I'm pro-choice, I still feel that abortion is murder and shouldn't be used as a first "defense" birthcontrol if it can be helped (IE: it's fine in the case of rape where your brother did it and your parents don't believe you/won't let you take contraceptives/won't take you to the hospital/can't get your hands on the morning after pill/whatever).

I always tell myself if I have a kid, I'd tell them they can have all the sex they want, so long as they use contraceptives because I only signed on for them, not the grandkids. At least, not unless they die after they were self-supporting and all that. And I don't want to pay for their STIs/STDs. Obviously, I'd put a shitload of emphasis on the emotional impact of sex because that's more likely to come back at you these days, when all other problems with sex are either preventable (yey condoms!), treatable (if caught in time) or very expensive to treat (ie: AIDS).
