    Ooooh poop talk. I popped in just in time.

    Maddie used to want to sit in my freakin' lap every time i went poop.  Now she wants to sit in the water closet with me.  I guess that is what you call it.  The toilet room off to the side of the master, which is claustraphobically narrow, so much so that DH doesn't like to go in there even though the toilet in the guest room is a kid-size toilet.

    She sits on the floor and reads magazines or books or whatever she finds.  Just has to be with me.

    sigh.

    we call that the "poo closet" in my house.

    DH was supposed to pick me up from the airport, but my flight was delayed and we had dinner plans with friends that I told him to go do.  I have my coworker bring me home from the airport, and I realize as we drive up that I do not have my house key nor do I have the garage door opener for which I normally get in the house with!  I nonchalantly get out of the car and wave him off, in which I go through our back gate and am now sitting on our patio waiting for DH to get home!  Oops!  At least I have my laptop with me and have about 45 min. left of battery!

    i had something similar happen the other day (i was coming back from a business trip in a rental car, so i didn't have my garage door opener or a key) and beau was out of town for the next few days. i had to dump out a rose bush from a tall flower pot i have in the front so i could turn it over to stand on it to jump the fence. then i had to dig through my suitcase for the sweatpants i wore to sleep in (i had on a chiffony dress and pantyhose) and pull on my steel toe boots that i happened to have in the car....then jump the fence w/o tearing my dress.....then go around back and crawl through the doggie door.

    so embarrassing if anyone had seen me.

    At least you fit through the doggie door.  I would have been screwed.

    Confession: I happened onto the FB page of my first love's wife yesterday, (he's not on FB) I've never met her and haven't spoken to him in many many years.   She's apparently a sorority sister of a girl I went to school with, she popped up in the "people you might know" and the uncommon last name caught my eye.  Looking at her pictures of him with their two kids my heart did a little flip flop and landed in my stomach, a very uncomfortable feeling.  

     

    I know that feeling.  My ex-FI got married a few weeks ago and while we broke up 13 years ago, it is still bittersweet.

  • OH.MY....I just opened an evite for a neighbors baby shower. She is having her second boy.  When I looked at the invitees I had to do a double-take....422!  Yes, that is right I know she was in a sorority, but come on seriously Indifferent.  Makes me feel like she is just out for gifts. Also it's being held at one her friends house.  Not that they expected everyone to show, but in the event there is not enough room to host a quarter of the guests!!

    I think I will pass and just prepare a meal with a small gift once the baby arrives. Tongue Tied

    Mamas - do your kids come to the bathroom with you?  Do they go with DH?  I am just wondering why he gets to pee in peace and I have an audience.

    No.  I go quickly and lock the door if they are outside the door.  Sometimes they scream.  Sometimes they bang on the door.  But after awhile they realize that I'm not going to give in and go play with something.

    Reason: I like to pee and poo in peace.  Also, I don't like to explain the womanly issues yet.  Mia freaks out about the tinest bit of blood from the tinest cut, so... yeah.  We're not going there yet.

    They don't follow DH either.  Bathroom time is our time.  Which means I can sometimes "go potty" and catch a minute or two of peace.  ahh.

    I was trying to figure out what 422 could possible mean; some super secret sorority thing that I wouldn't know about.  Then I guessed you meant number of people invited. 

    WHAT!!  Is it a fundraiser for charity?  I didn't invite that many people to my wedding.

    Haha, yes I did leave out the word *list* after invitees.  My thoughts exactly about it being turned into a charity/ donation.  There is just NO reason for it.

    it'd be so awesome if everyone showed. or even half. or even a quarter! i'd be tempted to go and bring a long a camera/camcorder just in case to record the ridiculousness.

    there's a guy that I always had a crush on. He's dreamy. Just the nicest, sweetest and most handsome guy. He just sent me a suggestion to like his non profit. It's the world ministries soccer club (look it up). It's helping poor kids in Haiti. He's only gotten nicer and more handsome with age.

    I came across my college bf fb once. I'm pretty sure he married the girl he cheated on me with when he went to grad school. I guess at least it was worth it? it still bugged me.

    LOL My college BF did not marry the girl he cheated on me with, but he did marry the girl he cheated on HER with.  Hmm

    I should probably note, the guy who gave me momentary heart palpitations is NOT the cheating college BF.

    I found out via FB that the guy who cheated on his girlfriend with me did end up marrying her.  I had no idea he had a girlfriend the first time I got drunk & made out.  The second time I got drunk & we made out, I assumed he had broken up with her since he was clearly not that into her.

    I did have on BF who up until I starting dating DH I wondered if I gave him enough of a chance.  He sent me a friend request on FB about a year ago, my heart when pitter-patter a little bit & when I accepted I was shocked to see how much he had changed.  He's gained at least 100 pounds since college.

    That is crazy!  I'm guessing that a larger percentage of them live out of town so she knows they won't come and rather than have 5 showers in all different locations she just invited them to the one so no one could b!tch they weren't invited.  But still, excessive.

  • I'm getting annoyed with people.  My sister's bachelorette party is this weekend.  I booked rooms on Expedia and could cancel up to Tuesday.  Tuesday I sent out one final email (you know how much of a Type-A planner I am) and heard nothing.

    Until today.  So far, we're down 3 girls.  I'm going to be a huge b!tch and not give them money back.  I can't cancel ther rooms and get money back, so I don't think it is fair to charge everyone else more to cover them being huge flakes.  Plus, it's not like we're talking $100 here, it's $23.
