This place is dead
Lets talk about anything: the debate, fitness, something funny your kid has done lately, why I'm incapable of picking a first dance song for my wedding that's only two weeks away. If you people don't talk to me, I'll be forced to review an acquisition plan for the third time and I don't think I can do it.
Re: This place is dead
It IS dead. I don't know why it hasn't gotten better...we've had a few posts and then they all just die. Blah!
Uh...randomness I can think of...I am going to attempt AAOTH, even though I really don't want to fight the crowds. I really wish strollers were banned so I wouldn't have to calm myself down when I get stuck behind them in every aisle.
My BFF is insisting I have a baby shower and it makes me feel good that she's doing it, but...I feel weird about it being a second baby and that I'm having a shower since I had such a nice one with tiny. I told her I'd really just prefer people to come have dinner or apps and make it more of a social hour with friends, so that's what we are doing. I just don't want anyone to feel obligated to buy me anything since i am reusing major items I had from the first go round. I've always sort of been annoyed with 2nd/3rd showers, and I just hate that people might/will get annoyed with me.
I haven't seen my parents in 2 weeks and it's making me feel all antsy. I have GOT to cut the cord. I am pathetic.
I hate Halloween. Scary is so not my thing and I get annoyed with the craziness of all of the candy aisles and decor that B says he's scared of. We can't even walk through Crest without some spooky witch around the corner. I am so ready for thanksgiving and Christmas.
I am feeling this way also. I don't connect with any of the canidates and I don't want to vote for someone just because.
So I found out something juicy about one of our couple friends yesterday. They are also our neighbors and the husband works with D. So D told me yesterday that the wife tricked her H into getting pg. She charts so she doesn't take BCP. So she knew that she was ovulating but told her H that she was not. She ended up pg. He is not very happy about it. They have a 2 year old and from what he told D was that they are not ready for more kids financially. They both have to work and will need to put 2 in daycare now.
I just cannot imagine what kind of trust issues this couple will now have.
What awesome communication they have!
I do too...she's asleep in my arms right now...
This is how I've felt when people have talked about wedding showers/bachelorette stuff. I've been wishy washy about it because I don't know what to say. In the end people have stopped asking I think.
One of my girlfriends just had her third baby and her shower was a "frozen meal shower". We all brought her frozen meals so she wouldn't have to cook after baby was born. The last few 2nd/3rd baby showers I have been to have been like this and I haven't been annoyed by it.
It possibly could be since I am only hearing one side of the story.
I think that is an awesome idea.
Yikes. I have no words for that. Babies are something you talk about with your SO, not just decide you're ready for. Wow.
Even though life has been so crazy this year, I feel like we're finally getting somewhere with JJ. We've been having speech/language and behavioral issue with him this whole year, so we put him in an early childhood program twice a week and moved him back to his old daycare. I feel like life is finally starting to balance back out after the chaos that has been 2012.
Joe wrecked his car the day we found out we lost Devon, and it was totaled out. So we bought two new [well, mine was brand new - his is an '04] cars within the span of 6 weeks. We haven't had two car payments ever, and this sucks. But it's reigned in my random spending habits and made me focus on things we actually need, which is good.
One of my students looks like Robert Pattinson. It always throws me when he comes to see me.
I really don't see anything wrong with having a shower for a second kid especially if it's a different gender. I think small showers are fine like what you are suggesting.
Since you are having a girl you will get TONS of girl clothes. With M's shower I received more clothes than the essentials I actually registered for.
I completely agree and add that it has become a meaningless tag line that most people couldn't even define if they tried.
I certainly wouldn't call carte Blanche refusal to participate in budget negotiations to force us into a sequestration situation responsible, and I'm not sure how we reconcile that fiscal responsibility party affiliation with Clinton's improvement from a 4.5% defect to a 2.4% surplus followed by a doubling of the national debt during Bush's presidency. I'm aware that the national debt has increased the last few years as well, but that certainly doesn't paint one party as responsible and the other as not in my book.
