    I'm looking online for Halloween costume ideas for L. One idea I have ruled out? Julia Roberts/Pretty Woman:

    I keep looking at this hoping it's a doll because this can't be a real child right?  Not that a doll would be a whole lot better.

    Nope, not a doll - just more classy and competent mothering skills courtesy of Toddlers & Tiaras

    Pfffffttt. All the good moms dress their girls like hookers.

    If you change your mind and want to go for a theme, I've got a couple of boys I'd be happy to dress as pimps.

    I will kick DH in the nuts if he asks to have another kid.  I'm exhausted and it's only week 3 of football.

    Cooper has nailed DH in the nuts twice this week, bad enough he had to sit down.  I don't think he wants another kid now.   Big Smile

    My big boy is bounding towards 3! Hoping to add a sibling. image Hipster dog is not impressed.
  • Dear Family on My Father's Side,

     

    While I support any and all efforts to get my sister's life on track, I don't think her enrolling in a program to become a medical assistant is a good idea when she is a thief and a drug addict.

     

    Thanks,

    Cameron nailed DH Sunday afternoon - coincidentally, just as he was saying, "I think someone will be ready for a nap soon". Guess we know what he thought of that idea!

    This sounds very much like my SIL and my cousin.  It really sucks being the sane one sometimes.

    It does suck, especially when I have a beautiful niece and nephew that I worry about constantly. It's a big family and there is a lot of support but my sister keeps burning her bridges. One aunt has been a huge advocate for her and really helped her. Come to find out said aunt is now missing almost all her valuable jewelry, including her wedding ring. Guess who walked to her house a couple weeks ago when she wasn't home and even chatted with the neighbors on the way up the driveway? Yeah, that would be my sister. Sigh.

  • So, I've had my car since December.  I've always taken somewhere to get it washed.  Today I decided to use one of those drive-thru, self vacuum car washes near my house.  I just discovered that I have 2 left rear floor mats.  I guess I never got a right one.  Weird.  It's only taken me 9 months to notice.

  • Last week my hair stylist called me because they had a drawing for people who had sent over new clients and I had won.  I was at the Outlet Mall with an impatient toddler, and she has a very thick accent.  She kept saying that I'd won a candle and she was so excited for me and that I needed to come by Saturday to get it, if possible.  I told DH it was probably a Circle E candle and that they smell really good.

    Saturday I go to pick it up and think that the bag isn't that heavy for a candle, but whatever.  It wasn't a candle.  She was saying Kindle.  I couldn't stop laughing when I got in the car and figured it out.

    How funny!

  • what do men talk about to each other? DH talked to his friend in Houston the other day. He was engaged last time I talked to him (last year). I asked DH if he got married yet, he had no idea. Then I happened to see something pop up in my newsfeed from him about feeling good being out of the hospital. According to the posts on his page he was in there quite a while! and somehow that didn't come up. I actually think they talked while he was in the hospital and he didn't mention it.!

  • Um...I have to go to Detroit for work.  In November.  All I can think about is how cold it is going to be.

    And that I'll be gone for a week.  A week is a LONG time.

    the cold will be refreshing and give you an excuse to wear your winter clothes that have such a short lifespan in Houston.

    But after a couple months of working from home, you won't feel so stressed out about work and it will be easier than if you had done it at your last job.

    For sure!  Only I need to actually get some winter clothes.  :-)  The plus side is that it is training - meaning we're busy from 8-5.  After that, I'll be ready for dinner, a book and bed.

  • I don't ever post in here, but this is the only place I can think of to put it.  My BIL & SIL are having / have possibly had their first baby today.  And I found out she was in labor through freaking twitter.  TWITTER told me my nephew was on the way.

    Thankfully BIL told his parents at least, even if he didn't tell Josh (it's Josh's brother and his wife that are having the baby.)

    This was so just opposite of the way my siblings and I were raised, my sister was texting us on the way to the OR to have her son, that I just can't help but have my feelings hurt.  I just know that when Marion is having a baby, that if Eliza isn't one of the first people to know, I'll feel that I've failed them as a parent (which is probably flame worthy because I know not everyone isn't close to their sibling and that isn't a bad thing.)

    Anyway, I just know I'm not going to be anywhere as near as close to this nephew as I am the rest of my nieces and nephews on my side and that makes me sad.

    Not quite the same, but along those lines.  My sister announced on FB that she was expecting again.  My mom told me a couple of weeks ago, but I have yet to hear a word from her.  She hasn't said a word, no calls, no texts since she found out.  She has shut down all communication.  It hurts.

  • I have a very lumpy head. I always wanted to find someone who still practices phrenology (where they tell you your personality based on your bumps). Not that I believe in it but every time I shampoo my hair I think about it.

    It's nice to know I'm not the only one.  I've always said, if I ever go bald I will have to sport a wig.  My head has too many bumps and dents.  I thought about it today, when I was getting my hair shampooed before my cut.
