Re: Say Anything part 27
I feel like the opposite-they don't even ask what I/we are doing anymore.
It isn't that I don't want to hang out with them, but I can't burn all my vacation days to take a trip and even if I could, I have to make sure Kerry is home because the kids can't subsist on grapes and cheese sticks and Avery can't change diapers yet. Leaving them for a 4-5 day trip to see a football game isn't possible....nor is it how I want to spend the very few days off I get because hello - asthmatic kid causes me to burn through some days off.
And sorry, but calling me at 5:30 to go have a drink with you in 30 minutes isn't happening. I need time to arrange a sitter, make sure the kids have dinner, etc., etc., etc.
I hear ya. I feel like a lot of our friends don't ask what we are doing or invite us out anymore. And then I feel like the ones that do are annoyed that I can't get out more. It's hard.
Well in your case kjr, maybe it's not because of the kids. You did say that your husband looks like a serial killer in photos..
I'm not judging or anything because my husband is creepy, I'm just sayin..
Dang you trying to be a responsible parent and all that. Throw some food on the floor and let J go naked.
Maybe I should go out more. What is the range on baby monitors...5, 10 miles?
I know a great nanny if you are looking to get out more. Just sayin'.
I am glad you can relate. I mean, having a creepy husband isn't easy. At least we aren't alone!
ok, is this beckysellstexas chick a real person or is someone trolling?
oh and harmony, is your friend on drugs?
and i would never take 5 days of my time away from family for a dang football game. heeelllllll no.

MissJake, that is truly outrageous. Truly, truly, truly outrageous.
LOL
DH is so silly. BIL's birthday party is tonight and DH just called me to let me know that his ex-fiance and her husband will be there.
He says: "Honey, I just wanted to let you know that A and her husband will be there tonight. I didn't think you would have a problem but I just thought you should know."
My response: "Um, ok. I like A. Should I have a problem with that?"
H: "I guess not. I just wanted to give you a heads up."
Is it weird that I don't care? They were engaged and broke up several years before DH and I started dating. She did try to start the relationship again right after we met but he politely put a stop to it and there was no drama. They've both married and had children since then.
I've run into her at the grocery store, the mall, target, etc and always end up talking to her for a bit. I genuinely like her.
Is it wrong to be friends with your DH's ex's? His only other ex with which he had a long term relationship does my hair and I consider her a friend as well.
hi ladies....
Hello! Congrats.
Congrats!!!!
Crazy Christmas Kids!
Congrats! It looks like there is going to be an early 2012 nestiebaby boom.
So happy for you! I'm glad you came out of the closet soon b/c I don't know how much longer I could have kept this particular secret
Oh.my.congrats! So much for drinking in Napa
yup, so much for being "careful"... in my defense, my cycle was pretty whacky this month.
thanks everyone... lots of emotions around this house the last couple of days.
Congratulations!!
BFP with no treatment!
Congrats! I was thinking the same thing!!!!
I don't think it's weird. I'm friends with one of DH's ex. I don't like most of them b/c they're just dumb girls and just really annoy me. lol But the one I'm friends with, I like a lot.
