    These days, you can't find anything to be funny or annoying without someone getting offended.

    after that he posted a ton of stuff about people who were big in the 90s who were still alive-so he could get it out of his system and no one would say he was innappropriate because they died. My favorite were his en vogue videos/comments.

    It doesn't offend me, but I do think it's in poor taste.  If I saw it as someone's status, I would give them the side eye & just keep on scrolling.

  • Getting ready to call comcast with my sexy raspy cold voice. I discovered late last night that our DVR was "unavailable" and it still is today after a reboot. I don't remember if we used it at all on sunday, so I'm pretty sure it did not record the finale of downton abbey last night, and I am very annoyed as a result.

    It's probably because you're so judgmental, Harmony.

    I think it's sad Whitney Houston died, but for the love of God I'm so fricking tired of hearing about it.

    The real question of the day isn't if I am judgemental, it is if I am beyond comprehending that you can never fully know someone.  I can assure you that I do, in fact, understand that you can never fully know someone.

    I'm positive that it's been established that you, in fact, do NOT know if you can fully know someone or not. I know this because I know you. And I know that you cannot know, but you don't know that you can't know. Probably because you're a... well, you know what you are.

  • On another note, I feel guilty for beating my 11 year old cousin in Words with Friends.  

     

  • My oldest daughter has a crush on a boy.  I know this because in her cell phone (which I dig through at any given time) his contact reads <3 Nathan <3.

    Somone hold me, I'm not ready for this!

    You mean all those boards listed alphabetically over on the left side of my screen are one everyone's screen?  They're not super-top-secret-boards just for me?

    Micaela has doodled "Cade" all over one of her binders with hearts all over it.  :/

    She's struggling to pass her classes at this point, I don't need boys in the mix to complicate things even more! lol

    We can be scared together. :)

  • I spent half an hour this morning cutting slices of watermelon into heart shapes.

    THEN I tasted it.  And threw it all away.

    Was this for daycare?  If so, I am jealous you can bring food from home.  Everything has to be store bought at ours.

    We made cookies, then I questioned myself on this exact thing.  I saw nothing in the newsletter and nothing on the sign up sheet stating it had to be store bought so I just went with it.

    Yep.  Which annoyed me more because I was SO excited about sending something cute.  I've decided to be the annoying parent to does everything homemade.

    L said "oh ***" and "bitches" this afternoon, in about a 5 minute span. And she used them both correctly. 

    I'm so divorced. Or punched in the face.

    LOL  

    My big boy is bounding towards 3! Hoping to add a sibling. image Hipster dog is not impressed.
  • I got to see Calvin and Hobbes (still can't pick names so there ya go) today at the specialist. They're a concerned because the growth difference between them went from 18% to 25% (they say they "worry" when it's over 20%). So the MFM explained it to me and what thye're looking for. Basically there's nothing they can do but watch it, from what I understand I deliever early if it gets out of control so they can force feed the smaller one. Since there's nothing I can do I'm not really stressing about it. Which in turn makes me worry because I'm not stressed and I feel like I should be, it makes me feel like a bad mom already.

    Cooper quoted me yesterday.  Thankfully he knows what a bad word is.  His teacher thought it would be funny to teach him "Go Horns" so we said to tell her it was a bad word.  Now if one of us gets caught saying a bad word, Cooper will say "that's bad word - like go horns.  Mommy can't say bad words."

    Realizing this is in God's hands & there's nothing you can do about it makes you a good mom.

    Ignoring doctor's instructions & not doing what you're told makes you a bad mom.

    You clearly fall under the first category.

    Agree with HalfPint.  Plus, stressing out about it will only add stress to the boys.

     

  • I keep looking at name lists and they had a list of celebrities and their real names. Some are just different spellings (Jon Bon Jovi is Jon Bongiovi) but do you think anyone still calls the celebrities who totally change their names by their real ones? do their family members? like kim cattrall is clare woodgate by birth. that doesn't seem like a nickname or related in any way.

    does elvis costello's wife get to call him Declan?

    L doesn't understand "bad word" yet... but maybe it's a concept that's close. I nearly choked trying not to laugh when she said, "It's cold outside bitches!"

    And then I was totally ashamed.

    That's awsome.

    Last night we were watching HIMYM and C looked at the TV and said "Barney Stintson."  Twice.  So I knew it wasn't a fluke.

    Between that & him yelling "Big Bang Bang!" in church on Christmas Eve, we clearly watch too much CBS sitcom tv.

    You have to wonder.  "Diana and Declan" sounds less show biz than "Diana and Elvis".

     

    My cousin was called Bart all his life, then in college he decided to go by his first name, Allen.  His wife calls him allen, but we all still call him Bart.
