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 think you're on to something!
I dig it! Although it's missing a pimp cane.. surely I would be able to find something...
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.
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,
The Sane One

Oh crap. Some people just don't need to teach.
Ain't nothin without a pimp cane and $$$ chain yo. Throw in some gold teeth for a special touch.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll have to ask our coach about this!!
Are you sure we are not related...maybe cousins or something?
With my father, you never know.
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.
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.
awesome surprise! good thing you didn't hear it reversed and think you got a kindle and wind up with a candle.
How funny!
this sounds like me. i don't have floor mats at all. and i've had my car about as long as you. i should go buy some but dont feel an extreme need. lol.
that's too funny. but what a great surprise, heh?
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'm tired of complaining so i dd
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.
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.
