I just came across something weird. My cousin is a missionary in Turky and the first Christmas away from us. So they sent us pics of the kids opening gifts, etc. Well I had to download them to see them well and I wanted to save them, so i download the first pic and it had an arrow to go to the next pic so I did and guess whos picture it was. It was a baby from here. So I kept going through the pics and I saw at least 10 pics from this site, some pics i never seen before (a naked man saying merry christmas) and then finally i got the other pics from my cousin. That is so strange. I have never saved a pic from here or even downloaded a pic from here. So why was I able to pull them from my email?

I have no clue why, but my computer does this too.

The found our car! I don't know any details, and haven't seen it yet, but it is tucked away at a tow yard waiting for us to come get her. We'll be going on Friday (since we're broke till then!)

Yahoo!

4 days until Stella's birthday party! Bring on the hillbillies!

Oh by the way - my MIL somehow got our home phone number, so we'll probably have to change it. She called 4 times this morning. Ugh. I was so afraid it was going to be her sayig "hey I'm here in Seattle - I can come to the party after all!"

:shock:

But it wasn't. She was just drunk and needed to cry into the phone undecipherably...

My FIL sits out on his porch and smokes cigarettes and drinks coffee all day. When he needs to urinate, he steps off his porch, whips it out, and pees...right there in the yard.
On Christmas day, we were at his ex-wife's house. They have some twisted relationship. I dont get it, but I digress... anyway, we were all out in the back yard, when suddenly, FIL gets up, goes around the corner and you guessed it!
He doesnt even shut the bathroom door when he comes to my house!

T - that's so funny! I remember as a kid when I had to go to their trailer (located, of course, just outside the gates of the city dump) and I would go inside and this would be the conversation:

"What chyoo doin' inside"

"I haf ta pee"

"Whell what chyoo doin' comin' in here for?"

"Ummm, to go to the bathroom?"

"Are the great outdoors not good enough for ya? Scram, kid."

Wouldn't it be funny if we were related?

I think they are here from Texas, or something. I actually haven't spoken to these people, or communicated with or about them in any way, in well over 15 years, so I have no idea.

I am pooped but we are done - all ready for later today! Her cake is SOOO yummy. We made the main one and two smaller ones so that we could test it (new recipe, didnt want to serve it if it was gross) and one for Stella!

OK I am so awful... the "hillbilly" relatives were there and they were wonderful. They were just excited to be there and nice as can be.

I feel like such a troll for having been a snob. :cry:

Now Stella is giggling and playing with her toys... such a great day. And not nearly as painful as one year ago today... :)

BubbleGum

Yeah, the hillbillies kick me in my guilt button every so often, too. I dont think its me being a snob, though. I think its more feeling superior for my ability to walk upright!

I am glad Stellas party went well. Did you cry today? I think I will when Katie turns 1. BTW what about your car, did you go Friday to chechk it out? I was hoping you would find your quilt in it.

Can you believe it is 2007? Happy New Year. I am so lame, here it is midnight and I am on APA. Dh is DJing and I couldn't find a babysitter so here I sit. And to beat it off around 1130 I became so sick. I am guessing the flu. :( My stomach is cramping and I feel like I am going to throw up. gggrrrrr!!!!!

DIVADLX

12-31-2006, 11:57 PM

I have yet to cry... when i was writing her 1 year letter, I nearly did, but I think I am too happy and too tired to cry right now. Lets see what happens when I write her card!

The car: well, actually, they really didn't do anything to it except: leave smelly garbage and steal the quilt and our wedding blanket. They left the brand new tire in the back, the quart of oil, the gallon of washer fluid, the gas in the tank, the tire iron and jack... they only stole the meaningful stuff.

Nothing else is really wrong with the car though, which is good.

2007... one year ago right now I was trying to breastfeed Stella, or I was trying to keep the nurses from making me wake her up. I had just had some Taco Bell (the only place open this late in the tiny town where I had her) and was deliriously happy. I was a mom.

Ok, Now I am crying. Thanks a lot Tracy! ;)

haydensmom

01-01-2007, 12:16 AM

I can't believe they took the two things that were meaningful! That really stinks!

One year... I cried yesterday because Hayden is five months and we just transitioned him to his crib. I'll bawl like a baby when Hayden turns a year. :roll:

Baby fever hasn't hit me yet, thank goodness. So, who's going to start trying soon?

DIVADLX

01-02-2007, 01:54 AM

I think the baby fever is getting back to me again (it went away for a few weeks) because she is no longer BF'ing, she is walking around and needs me so much less than before. I miss having a baby-baby.

I think also being around pregnant women all the time, and having friends who are pregnant makes me want it again too.

But I too am a little afraid. I cannot imagine not giving my complete, undivided attention to Stella. But at the same time, I see how much she LOVES to be with other kids and think, who am I to not give her a live in playmate?

I worry because I cannot imagine loving anyone as much as I love her, but at the same time, I never imagined loving her this much either so what's the difference?

01-02-2007, 01:58 AM

Baby fever has hit me :oops: I look back at my pregnancy with Ethan and wish I could re-live it all over again. The feeling when he was first born was just absolutely amazing. Meeting him for the first time :D
I don't want ANOTHER baby, I just wish I could re-live Ethan's birth over and over again.
Although it is so exiting seeing him hit new milestones all the time :) We wont start trying again for another couple years.

ok would you leave your 3 month old baby for a week or 4 days??? am i the only one who cant stand the thought of leaving my babies..??

i work with a guy whos wife is due in a few days wiht their first baby...he is planning and wants her to go with on a trip when the baby is 3 months..she is planning on BFing..so i asked him about that..he said "Well we dont know how long she will BF" ?? so i said ok..than i found out his assistant is encoruageing them to go telling them they will need the time together and that the grandparnents need time to bond with the baby as well??? what the hell its not their baby..??? it got me all irritated cause i can see these dumb peopel badgering this poor first time mom into leaving her baby..i hope she doesnt go if she doesnt want to..

ok had to rant for a minute..

01-02-2007, 06:06 PM

No way. No way. No way.

I love to travel, but even when I work a long 8 hour shift, I can't WAIT to get home to her - and she will have visited me on my lunch break! I can't imagine being away from her for a night, let alone that long!

I firmly believe that the baby is way too young for that. That and - what kind of crapola is that - possibly quitting BF'ing just to go on a trip?

I'll bet they feel totally differently when baby is here. They may entertain the idea now, but once they hold that little cutie, hopefully they won't be able to just go away from him/her.

I don't know why, but this made me kind of mad. I'll get over it. I just kind of feel like they are treating their baby like a dog - yeah, drop her off at the pet sitters and she'll be fine? Whatever.

Boy - I guess I am a bit of a moody-judy today.

*Warning* Whining Ahead...

I'm tired. :( I was having bizarre dreams that David kidnapped Ciara and they wouldn't do anything for 24 hours or unless he took her out of the state, which I knew he was going to do in my dream! This dream had A LOT of detail, down to me memorizing the plate # on the truck he took off in with her. So, now I'm exhausted today, and I've already had 3 cups of coffee!

*sigh*

Anyone seen Man of Mancha? I'm not even entirely sure I'm spelling it right. It's a play about Don Quixote....I've been invited to go see it.

Ok, I feel bad now. When Peyton was 3 months old I left her at my parents with Marissa from Fri afternoon until Sun afternoon so I could go on our annual canoeing trip. :oops:

I mean, if she doesnt really want to and they're pressuring her to, thats crap. I hope she does what SHE wants to.

OK Jai knock it off.. :lol: you know what i mean..i mean if someone is comfortabel with it thats wonderful..but she is a new mom and i can totaly see them telling her "you need this" or something to that extent..or ruining her Bfing because of the trip..my sister went on a missionary trip for 2 weeks when her little one was just over a year...i couldnt belive she did it..but she loved it..and isdoing it again in a month..now her boy is 3 years..

HECK now that Cy is older i pay peopel to take him for awhile.. :shock:

This is also some thing I think about when I think about some day dating again. I don't want to be leaving Morgan all the time so that I can date men but at the same time I don't think I would want to take her along on the first date. LOL

Sherry, those types of dreams are just crazy! I hate it when you wake up and question whether it was real for a few seconds... especially when it's a nightmare!

I think going on trips and leaving baby is ok if you're the one who wants to go. But feeling pressure? That's just not cool. Brett and I talked about going on a trip and leaving Hayden before we had him, but that's all changed now :wink:.

Sarah, I hope that new mommy has some guts and is not a push over. i would have NEVER done that, but that is my own decision. I had a number of people telling me to leave Manda overnight with either my parents or DH's grandmother for New Year's. It didn't happen and she is 7 months a NOT breastfeeding. That dad needs to take a step back.

I'm with Jenn...this makes me mad!!!!! :evil:

Yeah i spent one night away form Cy when he was 6 months and i know i couldnt do it with Lucea (probubly the BFing) i am anxious to see how it all pans out..i wish i could talk with her about it beforehand..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok so my MIL has asked me 3 times now for Dh medical charts/records/info and she keeps asking..i have talked to him about it and he doesnt see why she would want his info if she wasnt planning on taking it to someone to look at it..i mean who sits aroudn at home and reads medical records..i for one couldnt understand them..and she wants me to conference her in on the appt today with the neruologist..DH said no to this..i feel like she is trapping me in the middle of this..grrrr

DIVADLX

01-03-2007, 12:22 PM

Oh my goodness Christi 10 days - how are you going to stand it???? It'll be nice for you and DH, but I just know that now that Stella is here, nothing really happens unless I get to share it with her - I think I would just be thinking about her all the time or seeing things that she would love and saying "Stella would love that."

We have possibly postponed our trip to Europe until Christmas. We are taking my niece with us so that we can have someone help with Stella and be able to watch her if DH and I want an evening together.

Where are you going? We are undecided, well, past Norway. Since my niece will be 15, and it will be winter, I would very much like to take her to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. We'll also go to Germany to visit my college roommate. But we have yet to decide between Paris, London, or some city in Italy.

Sarah - could you just tell your DH to talk to her about it and tell her no? That's what I often have to do when DH or MIL try to put me in the middle. I just defer it. I tell MIL to talk to DH and I tell DH to talk to MIL.

Pam - I cannot imagine dating. *shudder*

Sarah!! sorry your MIL is a PITA about the records... can you just leave DH to deal with it???

Drama on Random.... am I the only one who finds it amusing???????

I have a meeting with my Boss in 15 minutes, to discuss my role here... I guess.... I have so many things I want to say I better stay quiet!! I am tired of being in limbo, but I cannot afford to lose my job!!

BTW Christi - I think 1 year old is way different than 3 months old. I think baby is still doing some serious identifying at 3 months, whereas when you and DH are in Europe, Maddie will be completely bonded to you - you know?

I agree! 1000%. I also think that it would be different for a first child as opposed to a second (not like I have a second...)... but I always hear people say they aren't as protective over a second as a first, etc...

Jennifer you better buy a laptop but better than that as you travel you would have to include visiting us.

I went out of town MOnday night and missed Katie like crazy. Oh boy do I have a rant about that. Ok the last few days I could rant about but I hate to complain all the time. BUT i do have to tell you about my babysitting situation. So DH, my mom, dad and I went to Cherokee to do a little gambling Monday night. We left around 8 PM, arrived about midnight. We left Katie with my SIL (who is 16) my step-MIL, FIL and my 14 yr old BIL. MIL and SIL just love Katie and couldn't ait to get her. Tuesday I call SIL around 9 to ask how Katie was and told her we would be leaving around 2. She knew where we were and it took 4/5 hrs to get home. So at 2 we called to tell her we were leaving and she said "I have Katie packed, I thought you was going to be home at 2, I have plans at 4" I tell her there is no way I can get home. She informs me I better find someone because her whole family had plans now. So I am in a pantic state. (real)MIL is at work and there is no one else I know. My family lives 2 hrs away, i have no real friends, no one to count on. We had to call our neighbor who is a man, who has never had kids, never even been around kids to watch Katie until MIL got off work and could pick Katie up. Alan kept her for almost 2 hrs. Poor guy but I sooooo owe him. And I am so mad at my SIL and step MIL. I told Drew that they are not allowed to watch my baby again. He is mad because I said that but am I wrong? They just threw my 7 month old out there because she wanted to hang with her friends and step MIL was tired. They should have thought of that before they agreed to watch her. I can't go through that agian. Sorry this was long, i really needed to vent.

Oh man! I would be LIVID! And no way in hell would they watch my child again. How DARE they!! And she was tired. Give me a break. Its ONE day. You dont toss the child out when you get tired. She had plenty of time to sleep AFTER she left!!

There is no plan NO PLAN more important than the happiness and well being of a child. Nothing. Period. They were wrong. Your DH is wrong for being mad at you for being mad. You have every right.

I don't care if I was having tea with the queen. it would get cancelled if I had the responsibility of caring for someone's child.

Grrrrr...

Ok Hayden's mom... you might as well know... (shhh, don't tell the other girls) but DH has suggested we consider my next ovulation (in 4 weeks) to TTC. But we'll see....

I just finally got AF! She was 9 days late and I was in a panic!! I took 5 pg tests, and even accidentally used a brand that was known for false positives if you looked at it past the 10 minute window! Of course I looked at it all day long, so I took another and did the same thing. Grrrrrrrrr. It was horrible. I was so scared. Thankfully, I got more tests, then got AF. I have never been so happy to see my period in my life, I dont think!!!

MarchMommy

01-04-2007, 10:16 AM

Oh my goodness Christi 10 days - how are you going to stand it???? It'll be nice for you and DH, but I just know that now that Stella is here, nothing really happens unless I get to share it with her - I think I would just be thinking about her all the time or seeing things that she would love and saying "Stella would love that."

We have possibly postponed our trip to Europe until Christmas. We are taking my niece with us so that we can have someone help with Stella and be able to watch her if DH and I want an evening together.

Where are you going? We are undecided, well, past Norway. Since my niece will be 15, and it will be winter, I would very much like to take her to the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. We'll also go to Germany to visit my college roommate. But we have yet to decide between Paris, London, or some city in Italy.

well....its gonna be hard but this is a DREAM of ours....and our last hurrah before the next baby comes along. its something that we really contemplated over and leaving her will be hard, and it was a hard decision....but its something that we decided to do just me and DH. i debated on saying that we were leaving her on APA, just because i know i would get raised brows...but we are....

we are going to London for 3 days and Paris for 6 days. we are travelling over Dover and taking a ferry to Paris. im so excited!

CandiceLeigh

01-04-2007, 10:20 AM

Can I vent to you guys? I'd feel like a douche bag opening a thread just to talk about this. :oops: So, here goes! I haven't had AF in like 2 months, but I think I messed myself up because I went off the pill 2 months ago & still no AF. Well, I told DH & he wanted me to take a PG test just to make sure. That's cool, I'll do that. I played hooky from work yesterday, and figured I'd go ahead and take the test. Negative, which was kinda disappointing, but we're not trying yet, so...Well, DH calls me when he's on his way home & I tell him that I took the test, but I don't want to tell him the results until he gets home. I was trying to see how he might react if I really was PG. He seemed fine either way, so I tell him it was negative and we just go on with our day.

Later that night I ask him what he would have thought if it had been postive and he said he got kind of excited when he was thinking I was PG. Now, dumb me, I'm bummed because now I REALLY want to get PG!! :( Especially since he's all for it! He has been kind of unsure, but now that he's got this attitude, it made me get the baby fever again! Plus we pull & pray and the other night when he pulled, it made me so upset I started crying! :oops: Right away, he was like, "what did I do?" I felt bad for making him feel bad, when he didn't even do anything. I guess I'm just really ready to TTC, but we had talked and decided to wait until Chris was at least 1. Ugh, waiting to TTC sucks!! :?

Jenn & Jai, you are sooo lucky!!

01-04-2007, 10:21 AM

Oh your gonna have so much fun adn what a wonderful time for you and DH...just think of how thrilled and excited you all will bewhen you see each other again..

01-04-2007, 10:40 AM

Christi, I don't think anyone here would dare to judge you for going to Europe without Madi... if it is a dream you and DH have, you HAVE to pursue it!! Madi would be in the BEST hands and would have a blast with her Grandma!!

Candice, I am sorry about the BFN.... it would happen soon!! and the best thing is that DH is excited about it!!.... you should have seen my DH's face when I told him I was PG the second time!! (BTW, he is now excited about the baby, specially because he picked the name!!)

We are planning on going to Chicago this summer... Christi would be about 3 months... talk about challenging!! the best part is that we are meeting my family there (flying over for a congress) so I will have more than enough hands to help

In the best news, I got a pay raise... $900 extra a year...... should I feel offended or just let it go??????? :?

Jenn, you HAVE to go to Italy!! it is beautiful, good food and people are WONDERFUL!!!! (I wasn't crazy about Paris, people have the WORST attitude!!!)

Mrs Federline - you simply MUST join us! If you are crying over the lack of another baby, then your plan is not what your heart wants. Go with your heart, lady! So much is telling you that now is the time.

Christi - I really hope that you didn't think I raised my eyebrows at you!!! Not at all - I don't think there is anything wrong with what you are doing. And if anyone does raise their eyebrows at you, well, bring it! I can take 'em.

A pay raise is awesome! Yeah, its not huge, but its something!

We talked about it for a long time last night, and the thing I need to get over the most is my sadness for losing my alone time with Stella. But I think it is SO important for her to have a sibling to share her time with.

SARAH - Oh it would be so awesome to have you as an October mommy too!!!!! Come on, you know you want to...

We talked about it for a long time last night, and the thing I need to get over the most is my sadness for losing my alone time with Stella. But I think it is SO important for her to have a sibling to share her time with.

That was DHs main concern for not wanting another after Marissa. It was actually the reason he flat out told me no, we would not have any more kids. (thats a whole 'nother story, with lots of crying and yelling and finally talking and making it work)

After Peyton was born, he WISHED we would have had another baby sooner. He doesnt have any brothers or sisters, and he thinks its fantastic the bond that Marissa and Peyton have, despite their age difference. Its so amazing to see Peytons eyes light up when Marissa gets home from school, the way she crawls over to her and in her lap etc. And Marissa....she would do ANYTHING for her sister. She is so protective of her.

GAH!! Im just so excited for you Jenn! I cant wait to see you pg, and have another baby who will be so beautiful, just like Stella Rubi!! :D

Jenn, I hear you on the fear of losing time with Stella... I wonder myself sometimes if I am ready to have another one, and to give up time with Dani to take care of Christi.... and I just freak out!
I think in the end things work out, and the time you spend with each of your kids is QUALITY time.... plus in the end they would have each other to play with, and believe me when I say having sisters is the coolest thing ever!!!

Now if I could only work PT so I can spend more time with the girls... I am seriously considering doing something completely annoying like call center, so I can work from home and be with them!!! **sigh** can someone get my DH a well deserved pay raise???????????

Contrats on the Pay raise! Any thing is good. I would love to have 900 dollars extra even if it is just for the year (would be nicer if it were a week! :lol: ). 900 would pay two months of Morgans daycare!!

Well girls I emailed this guy and he emailed back. How do I ask him if he is seeing any one with out just coming right out and saying so who ya shack'n up with these days? :shock:

NOOOOO Jen, i wasnt referring to you...not at all. its just a big dream of ours to do this, and with two babies it would be impossible for a long time. we want to travel with madi when she is a wee bit older...but this is our last hurrah before we TTC #2. my mom is taking off the entire 10 days to be with her, and they are taking her to Tennessee to dollywood <gasp> :? and doing some other things with her.

im so scared about leaving her...

Jess told me a little serect that Jennifer is going to try to get knocked up. And maybe Jai will try also.

Thanks for the laughs BTW. I was really needing some laugher so I would not kill DH today.

I really want another baby and so does DH but he doesn't know how to handle Katie. She was crying (because mommy left....isn't that so sweet) and he screamed at her. Come on she is only 7 months, was tired and sick. He held her too tight yesterday and now she has a red mark froim his watch. Of course it was not on purpose but still it makes me worry about when I leave her alone with him. So will he grow up and start being a better dad or is this what i will have to deal with and not have another baby??? Of course we have no room right now but I really wanted another baby by the time Katie was 2. Ok I know i am being selfish.

Sarah -sorry to seem to cavalier about it. I was just thinking you were not trying because of what your mom said the other day instead of actual physical impossibility. I am sorry that you are going through this! But I am sure things will be... achem... up and running soon enough.

Tracey - yikes! DH would have to suffer if he raised his voice let alone screamed at Stella for anything. What did you do? Are you sure that the mark is just from hugging too tight? I would be so worried...

MM - Have a great time in Europe and tell anyone who raises their eyebrows... well ask them "What an interesting facial tic you have!" then tell them to suck off because they are just jealous.

Trisha - what's up hon? I think of any thread this would be the one since only a handful of us dare venture in. Also, this is where the good and the bad and the silly are talked about - so anything fits!

I LOVE funny wake up sounds on the monitor! Stella wakes up and starts talking to her "garden" (I have cloth flowers wrapped around her crib rails - you know the kind with the wire stems?)

BubbleGum

01-04-2007, 05:36 PM

Yeah, Im ok and things are ok...
Im just having this issue...See my mom that raised me is actually my grandmother. God bless her, she is my rock and one of my best friends. Well, her and my dad are in their 70's now and they have started talking a lot about passing away. I cant imagine life without them. Having them pass away has been one of my biggest fears since I was a little girl. I remember thinking about it and crying my eyes out when I was 5. I had the worst childhood anyone could imagine, so its reasonable to think of how scared I was that the only stability I had would leave me in such a final way.
Anyway, it got me thinking...What will Kenna do if I die and leave her? My family is nuts, I have no one to look after her...and as hard as I try to be an attached parent, she is going to really need me. Ya know? Anyway, it freaks me out. It makes me feel bad for having her and makes me TERRIFIED of having another.

DIVADLX

01-04-2007, 06:12 PM

I think it is so interesting how we all kind of seem to cycle through the same things at the same time. Kind of like when a lot of women room or work together how their periods all get in sync?

With DH and I talking anew about who to ask to be guardian to Stella, I've been thinking about it a lot lately. It really came home to me the other day when she saw a picture of herself and papa, got a huge grin on her face and started saying "papa! Papa!" It made me realize that she is truly bonded to us, knows who we are, and if anything did happen, at the very least we would always be a "ghost" in her mind - you know? She might not remember that I have green eyes, but she would know that someone loved her more than anything.

So sometimes I get all choked up because I think of her crying for me and me not being there. And I have to stop thinking about it because it hurts too much. Thing is, no one will ever be mama and papa. Even if you had the world's greatest replacement, no one will ever be you.

I have a friend who's mom died when she was 10. She was raised by her Aunt and Uncle, and she was terrified through her whole childhood of being left alone, or that they would give her up or die. She has, as an adult, decided to never have children because of this. So you are not alone in the least!

I do think that part of my desire for Stella to have a sibling is to have someone there with her to share our history with her - someone who knows everything about her and about us, so that when, eventually something does happen, she will have that someone else to be with and to say "remember that time when mom burned your birthday cake?"

*Hugs* I know how sad and scared and awful this must be making you feel.

One a lighter note - move up here so that we can become the great friends I know we would, and then you can pick me! :D

MarchMommy

01-04-2007, 07:20 PM

Trisha that is such an overwhelming feeling i know. its something that we all think about and it scares the crap outta us as parents. its something we DO have to think about, yet sad at the same time.

((HUGS))

on a different note....i posted about 4-5 months ago that i was devestated that i couldnt find madisons hospital bracelet. well tonight i started to get my ducks in a row for her scrapbook and i decided to update her babybook with her 9 month stats, and the hallmark baby books come in a box, and i had taken the top of the box and put it inside the bottom of the box...and it was stuck in between the BOXES....i cried i was so happy. i thought that my MIL threw out the bracelets by accident when she was here cleaning after madi was born.

im so excited!

Bells614

01-04-2007, 07:39 PM

Oh Trisha, I don't know what to say. I simply can't think of that. PERIOD. I just can't bring myself to do it. The worst part is that we haven't named a guardian and I think it boils down to the fact that we don't want to think too much about that "if." I'm with Jenn, I so want someone for Amanda to remember our history with. (((HUGS)))

Holy smokes, Christi, was that really 4-5 months ago?!?!? I swear it was only about 3-4 weeks ago!!! Time flies!!!!

01-04-2007, 11:37 PM

Trisha, I have had similar thoughts. I want my mom to tkae Dylan and Katie if I die but am scared both kids will end up with their dads. Which makes me sad because I know that my mom would love themand give them more. My relief is knowing that Dylan is 13 and I asked him to take care of his sister. I know he will and he loves her so much. I was going to say the same as Jenn, just leave Kenna with one of us. We already love her, she is just to cute not to.

Sarah, I am sorry you and DH are having to deal with MS. I hope he regins feeling soon. I beat that is torture for him.

Chrisit, if your bags seem heavier after you drop them off at the airport, don't worry. I will be waiting to pack myself away in them so I can go also. LOL!!!! How exciting! I know you will have a great time and Madi will be fine. Of course if she is like Katie then she will not let mommy out of sight for a few days after your trip.

Candice, Sorry you recieved a BFN. Sounds like you are ready to TTC.

Pam, How scary to have to start dating again. It has been so long I wouldn't know how to ask him if he is seeing someone.

Claudia, 900 is not alot but it is something. I am going to apply to try to work from home. I need some type of income and hate the thought of leaving Katie.

I remember that bracelet! Everyone on here said it will turn up and the APA magic worked! YahoooooO!!!!! I would have been so happy too.

So it is so hard sometimes... today on a girl's registry she had Baby Wise. I wanted so badly to tell her - no please don't! That book is the work of a very bad man with very bad parenting skills. But I can't say things like that. I also then just wanted to remove it from her registry without telling. But that is unethical. I did mention "since you want to breastfeed, I highly recommend Dr. Sears' breastfeeding book..."

GRRRR! Why won't that book go out of print!!!!!!!!!!

Jenn, you are way more professional than I am. ;)

So do you really like your job. I think working there would be so awesome. Helping mommas (although Id have no where near the expertice you can offer), seeing all the new products. I LOVE --- and being able to be there all the time just blows my mind!

01-05-2007, 01:00 AM

I had a couple there today who thanked me for taking the time to help them, and I told them - I wouldn't work here if it wasn't for the mommies and daddies. And truly, the pay sucks, you get talked to like you are a 3 year old by management, and I work my butt off... but it all pays off when I have days when someone learns something inspirational about breastfeeding from me, or when a bewildered mommy is thankful that I have helped her through it all. And those days make up for the bad things.

Its really hard to not buy stuff though. Especially the clothes. Man, if they paid me more I would go cuh-raizeeee!!!!

newmami

01-05-2007, 10:47 AM

Aww Trisha!! I am sorry you are dealing with those feelings... I am sure we all have them, we have to be realistic, and they are sad and painful!! when I told DH about making a will, he just brushes me off because it is too painful for him... I also think who would take care of my girls, and leave it there because it just kills me!!
But that is another reason why I knew I wanted another child, and funny enough my OB is the one who said it, he asked me if I wanted Danielle to grow alone? and what would happen to her if something happened to Mami & Daddy?? at least she would have a sibling!!... I told her DH has a son, and he said, well, he is technically not the whole sibling, so there can be little obligation from his side....

So, when I have this feelings I turn them into positive thinking, I need to stay healthy and be very careful with my life, so I can be here with my girls and watch them grow... yes, denial works WONDERS to me!!

Christi, I am glad you found the bracelet... ours is GONE!!! :( I wanted to make a memory box, but losing the bracelet made me depressed, so I said never mind

Sarah, I hope your Dh regains the sensitivity, I know that would make him feel better!! there are tons of successful stories regarding MS, he just needs to keep a positive attitude!! I am praying for him

Anyone else happy it is FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gosh girls, I was on cloud 9 yesterday. Happy for no good reason at all. Today I am so far down in the dumps I don't know how I will ever get out. I keep thinking neg. thoughts and can't stop myself. Money is really tight right now. I paid all the bills but Morgan has a birthday just around the corner and I just can't afford a party but feel its some thing I realy need/want to do. I know it will all work itself out but right now I am so blue. Also I have gotten to where I HATE the weekends because I am alone. I feel like I work harder on the weekends than on a week day. :roll: Send some happy vibes this way! :vibes:

HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY VIBES COMING YOUR WAY... i know what its like to be alone..i was alone with DS for 4 years when me and DH were apart..it can be hard but i also actually miss the time i had with just my boy..make sure to take time for yourself...remember that she will love anything for her birthday..i have had big parties for CY as well as really really small family parties..they both special..hang in there.

HAPPY VIBES SENT TO YOU!!!

I am sorry you are feeling blue Pam... don't worry much about the birthday party. Have your family over, make a box cake for Morgan... all she needs is to be surrounded by people who love her!!

For Dani, we didn't made a party. I made her a cake (Betty Crocker) and one for DH & me. I got plates, a hat, napkins & some balloons (maybe I spent $10). We sang to her and let her eat the cake, it was only Dani, DH and me... it was nice, quiet and non stressing
If my parents lived closer, I would have had them over, still not a big deal!!

Thanks girls! I know I will make it and I do love all the time I get with Morgan. I think I am just a little upset because Grant wants to come visit Morgan tonight. His visits are so hard on me and Morgan really gets upset when he comes over. Oh, well such is life. The Divorce will be done a week from today and I will be glad when its over.

On a side note: I never told you girls but about a week ago my brother and his wife had there baby. She was due to be born the end of April. She came WAY WAY early. She is 1lb and 2 oz. Good news is she is doing GREAT!! She is b/feeding and every thing!! They keep her knocked out most the time because if they don't she moves around to much and might pull out one of her IVs. When she was born her eyes were still fussed together. I have yet to see her because they had to air vac her to Little Rock and they are not letting her have visitors other than her mom and dad due to germs.

I am sorry I dumped my woes on you girls. This are getting better for me and adjusting to being a single mom hasn't been that bad. I have been pretty happy. I feel good and I couldn't ask for any thing more! I guess its normal to get the blues some times. :?

Hey Pam, we are humans, we get the blues... single or not, it is part of being human

Wow about your little nice!! I am glad she is doing well and growing strong, what a beautiful miracle!!!

Sorry Grant's visit upset Morgan... the poor little princess doesn't understand, and probably she resents that he is not there... I hope with all my heart things get better!

I just realized this week that most of the people I work with have NO common sense, and would not make the effort to use their brain to answer their own questions... how can people live like that???? I swear I need to work from home so I don't have to deal with bozos :roll:

Did anyone else got all b$tchy while PG?? I used to be all moppy, but lately I am in the worst mood when I am at work!!! everything and everyone annoy me.... ugh!! shoot me now!!

Bells614

01-05-2007, 02:23 PM

Awww, Pam...I promise things will look up for you....I can just feel it.

Hey Jenn, I found that god awful book!!! FINALLY! Do you still want it? If so, PM me your addy and I'll get it out today. Would you believe I found it on DH's side of the bed. Asked if he read any off it and he said the first chapter or two and wasn't "into it" THANK GOD!!!!!!

Just got home from Manda's doc appointment for her "flat head." NO HELMET!!!! It was left up to us and we just can't do that too her. The doc said that she actually looks really good and the steps we took to correct it have done an awesome job and she is showing signs of further correction. She would have worn that thing for 23 hours a day for 4-6 months. UGH! I'll post more about it in it's own thread, but wanted to share.

Ok, how do I chart? I gotta get my period 1st, right? HELP!

I'M SO EXCITED!! :D :D :storkgirl:

Bells~Yay for Amanda not needing the helmet, it breaks my heart when I see babes wearing those. They look so uncomfy!

Claudia~I was pretty biotchy when I was PG too! :oops: Only towards the end though.

Pam~I'll be thinking of you & Morgan. ((BIG HUGS))

01-05-2007, 03:21 PM

Candice - ok, when was your last period? Has it been regular or not? Oh just start practicing and it will be perfect!

Just today I was sitting there holding stella after she fell asleep and imagined myself pregnant and it made me happy, excited and I was comfortable with it! So here we go!!!

T - what does your husband do? I mean, what field is he in?

newmami - yeah, not a lot of people in general have common sense... ;)

I actually went the other way - I was very even keeled when I was PG. I had one or two moments, but for the most part I was together, organized, I remembered everything - heck, I even lost weight! It was after having the baby that I became a mess.

Pam - man, suddenly being single would make anyone feel lonely - and the thought of dating, although kind of exciting, would be for me at least daunting and terrifying. Your blues are totally understandable. Just like everything else, in time it will be better. *hugs* In the mean time, just think of Sarah's cat and you can't help but giggle a little.

Bells - I am so happy that she doesn't need anything special to heal that head! I would have felt so sad for her if she had to wear the helmet. And yes - I would love it! I want to read it very closely to better arm myself when people suggest it! Right now I just have a few of the passages in my brain to exemplify the ridiculousness of the whole thing. I'll PM you my address...

My MIL has just called 3 times in a row. I love call waiting.

Dh works for a company that is about to go public. When it does, if all goes as expected, we are going to be very happy!

Oh my goodness! Stella has started to do the silliest thing.. I mean, it is not funny to her... she has started to show her temper. She'll be trying to put shapes in her shape sorter or some other complex task like that and if she cannot get it she gets all mad starts to growl and cry and flail her arms. I try to sooth her and encourage her to try again, and will help guide it (but she gets mad if I really try to help too - she wants to do it all by herself) but she gets so frustrated.

Sometimes it is so sad too... today she was working on it so hard that she finally just sat there and started crying. I just held her and told her that it is so hard and she is doing a good job, etc. But how sad for her to be so frustrated!

Makes me so happy that I waited to have kids... there was a time when I wouldn't have had the maturity to understand how to deal with this... I mean, I come from a long line of "don't put up with that sh*t" kind of people, but I think it is very healthy for her to express her frustration and learn to persevere, you know?

I had C when I was 36, and I'm OK with that...
But what is the new record? Did you see that? The lady had twins...she was 63/67? :shock: I think that's irresponsible and just plain selfish. Who takes care of them if something happens to her?

BBKCD

01-06-2007, 09:38 AM

NM, she was 67...and I guess it's old news(12-30) even though it was just on GMA this morning. There's something about it at the CNN website. Tried to copy and paste the link, but my mouse is acting up.

Hi Melissa! I think it's ok that you didn't read everything!! I just pop in here from time to time myself. :wink: There's pretty good conversation in here!

DIVADLX

01-06-2007, 10:46 AM

Melissa - it changes all the time - jump in whenever you want and if something interests you the start of it can't possibly be more than a page away!

I was actually just talking to DH about that night before last - the lady who had I think twins at 67? I was saying wow, more power to her for wanting that at 67, but she is 9 years from reaching the life expectancy - anyway, I hope she is healthy and her kids don't start taking care of her in the near future.

I guess that no one knows when it will happen to any of us, but sheesh, I think its a little more likely at 67 than 30 or whatever...

But again, I don't know if she had been trying her whole life or not - and if so - man what an incredibly happy day that must have been for her!

But can you imagine an oops at 67????????

haydensmom

01-06-2007, 12:18 PM

67?? That's just crazy. Where is she gonna find the energy to take care of them? My uncle just had a baby at 57 and the whole family is scratching their heads wondering where he's going to find energy to chase after a two year old. But to each their own!

Candice, that's so EXCITING!!! Great luck to you... lots of O dust!

Melissa - you just gotta jump in! That's what I did.

Is it weird that I don't have baby fever, but I'm SUPER excited for all those about to ttc?

TWINS at 67!?!?! :shock: :shock:

Where have I been?!?! Holy smokes. I have a hard time finding the energy for 1 at 24 some days. More power to her, but that definately isn't my cup of tea.

I just took a test for a job at the county juvenile detention center (I know I already accepted another job, but want to keep my options open). It was sad. I don't know if I could do that job.

Nice to see you here Melissa. I'm just now jumping in, so welcome!

New thing Manda is doing...WHINING (is that how you spell it?) She will be jumping in her johnny jumper or playing on the floor, anything and whinning at the same time. It's driving me crazy, how long will it last?!?! It doesn't seem like she wants anything, just a new noise and a high pitched one to boot!

Now if only it was all for me... the greedy wench strikes again!

katie

01-07-2007, 02:40 AM

She would go down at about 10:00pm. A little late, but it works for us since I work and like to see her when I get home. She would wake at about 7 and come into bed with me and sleep until about 10:30.

I guess the good part is this makes it easier to do stuff - because waking up at 10:30 pretty much blew our whole day, since breakfast would be at about 11:00 and then nap at 1:00, wake up and 3 and eat lunch - what could we do before I go to work at 5:00?

I have a late sleeper too. Bed time is 10/10:30 and we sleep in until 10:30. DH doesn't get home until at least 10:30 on nights he works so we work around his schedule. Right now it works for us since Abby doesn't need "meals" just boob time which she can have anywhere.

(Sorry I'm just jumping in here - for some reason I can't sleep tonight!)

I can't believe how late some of the babies sleep. I consider it a GOOD day when C sleeps until 7am. Two days ago I felt so spoiled and well rested because he slept until 7:45am. I think I would have a heart attack if he slept past 8! :shock:

Yeah, tonight a preggy lady and her DH came in to register stinking like the ciggy. I had a hard time being friendly. I swear there are a few things that are very difficult for me to remain unviolent about - and pregnant ladies smoking or people smoking around their kids is one of them!

YAY Pam for a busy month!!! I know in my heart 2007 WILL be a wonderful year for you!!

I had a pity party this morning, my sciatica is killing me, and I am tired of having to come to work... so I cried while taking a shower, then I went to starbucks and indulged in coffee and a muffin, and came to work a little late (like someone actually cares!!!)
I volunteered myself for another project... I hope the Underwriting manager understands my intentions and they give me the position they have opened, I am DONE with customer service!!

So DH said yesterday that once Christi is here, he is going to take some classes at night so I have to deal with both girls (joking of course).... I was THIS close to tell him "what about getting another job, so I can stay home and deal with them???"..... ugh if only!!!

I hope you feel better and get that job you want...

01-09-2007, 11:16 AM

Sarah, DH and I started our relationship via email, so maybe I am biased
I don't think it is impersonal to email.. DH and I had some "serious conversations" via email, we found out it worked at that time because the subject was touchy and we were not able to see each others faces and reactions...

So no, it is not impersonal!

So when Pam said that January was a slow grooming month for her... did anyone else think for just a moment that maybe she meant she just doesn't shower or brush her hair as often? ;) Pam - you totally piqued my curiosity after that one!

I absolutely do not think that e-mail is impersonal. I think that some people still think that it is, but I think that often it is the only way that people can express what they are thinking and feeling without stumbling over their tongues or forgetting what they needed to say. I personally love e-mail. I hate the phone, but then again since childhood I have loved getting letters in the mail more than anything - and that's really all an e-mail is!

You know, Holly asked me something on our playdate yesterday and I have been thinking about it constantly - am I afraid of having a second. Pretty quickly I answered no, I wasn't. I've been thinking about it because I was surprised at my answer, and wondered if maybe I was just being brave. But the truth is that I don't feel afraid to have two. I guess this means I am ready!

I loved to get emails from EX-H and right now I am emailing an old friend back and forth. I don't think its impersonal at all. On the other hand I had a hard time not email EX-H when I was upset at him about some thing and I do think thats the chicken way out. But hay I never said I wasn't a chicken. :oops:

Funny that you mentioned this... I realized and came to terms that I am afraid of having another one... afraid that Danielle will feel left out, that she has to share mommy with another baby, and afraid of loving 2 people so much... I want to think it is normal and that once Christi is here, my heart will know everything is ok

Speaking of grooming, I NEED a haircut BADLY!!! maybe next week, Monday I am off work!!!

Sarah, tell DH it is YOUR turn for a well deserved vacation!!!! book a weekend on a SPA, and pamper yourself :wink:

I dont think emails to your SO is impersonal. Actually, emails have helped me a lot be able to tell DH something without it causing an argument. If I were to say the things I would probaly get upset at some of his responses, at least if he emails me back he can re-think what he wants to say so it doesnt come out the wrong way (he does that alot, open mouth, insert foot)

Jenn, I am so happy that you are EXCITED to have another baby now. I know youre gonna be a fantastic momma to two little ones. And they will love each other so much!

DH has been on vacation since Fri morning, and can I say, I am SOOOO ready for him to go back to work! He is so stinkin lazy. Its his vacation, so he HAS to lay on the couch the WHOLE time. I couldnt do it. Id be bored out of my mind. He actually laid on the couch while playing UNO with us last night! Freakin BUM!

01-10-2007, 12:26 AM

YAY for a good weekend Pam! :D

Jai, when is your DH going back to work?

Jenn, I was impressed how with how ready you are for a second. You didn't even hesitate. ;) I'm so excited for your BFP, pregnancy, and birth of another precious baby.

Small vent here: I just checked my email and saw the flight confirmation for my dad's visit up here in a couple weeks. Unfortunately, he's bringing his absolutely awful and alcoholic wife with him as well. :( I can't stand this woman and don't want her anywhere near Caiden. She still hasn't met him yet and I just don't want her to.

What makes me really mad is that I invited my dad up here so he could get away from her. Last week when we talked he was going to contact a divorce lawyer and end the relationship. He was really bummed so I invited him up here around C's birthday for some cheering up. She's not supposed to come too. :(

My DH is super ticked off and wants me to tell my dad not to bring her. He hates her with a passion. I don't think I'm brave enough to say anything. I love my dad, but can't stand her.

Grrrrrrrr...

That stinks HollyJo...I don't have any advice. I went off about my Dad's wife the last time my Dad was down, which was after my grandmother died. I was living at my grandmother's, and had been several months prior to her death b/c she kept kicking hospice out. Anyways, to make a long story short, his wife was packing EVERYTHING from every cupboard and drawer, including things I had bought--and just pathetic, really, b/c we're talking everything down to Ziploc bags! Aside from the fact that nothing should have been touched at that point since everything had yet to go through probate...I called the attorney, told him about my Dad going to get the U-Haul, and what his wife was doing, and he told me to call the sheriff's. Well, I wasn't about to do that, but there was a SCENE. And I've never seen his wife's face since that time. She avoided me the remainder of the time she was down here. Sorry if I just hi-jacked this. Didn't mean to. But I think you're probably in for some drama, and maybe it's best to talk to your Dad before he comes down with her and it can occur.

It was is the flipping 40's this morning and I have the heat on now! I know I'm whining, but I am a FL girl! This is nuts!!!!

newmami

01-10-2007, 09:05 AM

I am sorry Holly that you have to deal with that horrible woman... Dh also has some issues with his Dad's wife, so I can sympathize.

I am with Sherry, woke up to a nice 40F weather... WOO HOO!! we have 2 days of winter!

I need to do tons of things at work, but I left my motivation in 2006.... and I need to find another daycare for Danielle, the lady who is taking care of her is getting on my last nerve!! and DH is fed up with her. She is a good caregiver and loves Dani, but has too many issues (sick days, unplanned vacations, need to pick Dani early days, lots of strange people in her house) that I don't feel comfortable with

DIVADLX

01-10-2007, 11:01 AM

Holly - that stinks big time! Are they staying at a hotel? Perhaps instead of banning her (which would be really hard) you could maybe make a ground rule of no alcohol in your house - in bottles, cans or digestive systems! Then maybe at least when she came over she wouldn't be drunk. Family can be so hard.

You could maybe ask your Dad "hey I thought you were coming alone?" and see where it goes from there.

Claudia - I am sorry that you have to pick a new day care. I can think of very few things that would be more daunting.

So a few pages ago I was talking about a mommy who had registered for Babywise, and how I had to resist deleting it from her registry? Well she came in last night with a list of things she wanted me to delete and it was one of them! On the good side, that dink who wrote it won't get any more money, but on the bad side, she deleted it because she got it from her sister. My only hope now is that she'll look at it and go "what the heck? I can't do this to my baby!"

without

01-10-2007, 11:04 AM

Holly, so sorry to hear about your dads tag a long! I would talk to your dad before he comes so that its out in the open that you would like her to stay home. Maybe this will save any face to face blow ups with the tag-a-long.

Claudia! I hated looking for day care! I am so sorry you are having to go through this! Go with your gut and if it says some thing is strange then get her out! Good luck finding a new one. Dani is such a good girl I am sure she will be an added joy to what ever day care you find.

I never heard of the Babywise book until here... I don't believe in baby or PG books!! the only one I somehow use is one from the Mayo clinic, other than that I just follow my instincts, which so far are good!!

I have a terrible sciatica pain!! Dr pretty much told me to suck it up, but it hurts when I move my leg, or if I am sitting/laying down for a while... anyone went through this while PG?? any suggestions besides sucking it up???

I was thinking about a daycare closer to work, so I can spend more time with her... the commute is about 20 min, not bad at all... there are couple of Churches downtown with daycare... I have NO CLUE about some Christan religions, but I know I don't want to put her on a semi cult daycare!!! (yeah, because we Catholics are so laid back... HA HA HA!!)

your still in pain girl...hmmm i dont like sucking it up..but i have no ideas for gettin rid of the pain...a closer daycare sounds like a good plan to..my son goes to a lutheran church daycare sometimes when they dont have school..i dont think they push religeon much at all..not untill they are in the school there..check em out..let us know if you find a cult amungst them.. :lol:

Me and DH just talked to his neuro about what meds he is gonna take for the MS...get this..cost for one month of Avonex is around $1500...EEEKK thats crazy..that just abotu my whole flippin paycheck..we find out in a few weeks what our insurance will cover and than hopefully we will qualify for some type of grant type program from somewhere to help cover some of the out of pocket expense..

so as broke as we will be after this me and DH are considering buying DS a motorcycle (dirtbike) for his birthday..BAD IDEA? GOOD IDEA?

Man that's crazy about the meds! So expensive. I really hope your insurance will cover all or at least most of it. Man oh man.

As far as the dirtbike goes, I would probably wait until he was a little older, but that's just me. If I were in that situation, I wouldn't do it because of dh's medical stuff. You never know what could come up (although I hope nothing does). Also, with a dirtbike, boys will be boys.. and then you might have another medical expense on your hands. But that's just my opinion and I usually am Mrs. Practical.

I'm sure he'd love it if you do get it!

newmami

01-10-2007, 12:47 PM

Sarah, not sure what kind of insurance you have, I have BCBS of MN (yeah, MN is correct) the PPO, and I know they pay all the MS medication for my coworker... I hope your insurance covers it as well

I am not sure about the dirtbike, but I hate bikes, so I am a bad judge on that one!!

I was thinking Methodist, Episcopal or Lutheran churches would be OK... it seems to me there are only Baptist churches around, and I am not sure about those!!

01-10-2007, 12:57 PM

So sorry to hear about the price of the RX but maybe the insurance will cover most of it. Mine has been great to pick up the tab on most things and even though on of my scrips is 15 dollars a day they pay all but my 30 dollar a month co pay.

As far as the dirt bike well.... I think it depends on your son. If you feel he is VERY responcable (sp problems today sorry) then go for it. But I feel that this is a little young for most kids. IMO I think if you did get it you would have to make some rules about not letting friends ride it. The last thing you would need is a friend coming over and getting hurt and you being sued over it. Maybe I over think this kind of thing because when I was little a friend came over to play and she fell when we were playing tag and had to have her head stiched and her parents sued my parents over a game of tag and 4 stiches!

Claudia - I don't parent by any book, but having been raised in a not so great way, I wanted other frames of reference and options when raising Stella. So I read them all in hopes of picking something up here and there - not so that Dr Sears or Dr Brazelton can parent my child, but so that I can always know there is a better and different way than the way I grew up, you know?

Dirt Bike - personally, I would wait until he's about 12. I think his strength and coordination would be better improved by then, as well as his sense of responsibility. Also, that way you could use the in-between time maybe introducing him to other things that might help him with things like balance - does he have a Razor or anything?

Why oh why are people who obviously care more about themselves than their child allowed to have children? In an oven? No seatbelts? And yet so many great, responsible, educated women are unable to have babies. Go figure that one out!

Sarah - DEFINITELY go for the pizza!! MMMM! Pizza sounds so good tonight, but I doubt dh will want that. He said he is starting to get a sore throat, etc...

So now I'll have two sick babies. I feel fine. I wonder if it's because I still take my prenatal and I started immune system stuff (echinacea, zinc, extra vit c) when Hayden got sick... Although I have to be honest... I bet dh will be worse than Hayden "baby-wise" :lol: JK! (kind of)... hehehe.

Oh HollyJo, I would totally say something...kinda like Jenn said "Hey, I thought you were coming alone?" It may be awkward, but I would think the situation once that woman is in your house would be worse.

Sarah, I'm all for the dirtbike. We had them growing up...I had a 4-wheeler by the time I was 4. They were a blast! But, we lived in the country and my parents were so dead set on safety it was ridiculous. Maybe a 4-wheeler instead of a dirtbike...they tend to be a little safer. Your part-time job is right up my alley. I'm a social psych major, and would love to do something like that...instead I'm going to be a healthcare staffer. So not my type of thing. But, the hours work for me, so I'll go sit at the desk and talk on a phone. And the prescriptions...eeek! Here is hoping for the best. Do they have a website that you can look it up on?

Claudia, I feel for you. We are doing everything we possibly can to avoid daycare. I can't imagine finding a new one.

Jenn, I don't know how anyone can see good in that book. But, that is how I got mine...someone that relied on it heavily. I really like the lady that gave it to me, and don't see how she was able to use those techniques... :cry:

DH can't seem to do anything right and DS is even driving me crazy. And DS has never gotten on my nerves.

Christi, yay for the raise!!

Sarah I hope insurance covers all cost for your DH. As far as the DB, DS got one about 2 years ago. It is up his dads and he only rides it about 10 times a year. Is DH able to show him how to ride and watch him while he rides? That was the deal for my DS to get one. I didn't want him to try tricks so I wanted him monitered until he was old enough.

Wow! Cell phones cost a lot! Maybe you make him do chores until he has enough saved up to buy the next one. LOL I sure he would love that! Like you could tell him I will give you $5 for every 30 minutes you rub my feet and you can work off you cell phone that way. :lol:

My DH and I talked about him working a second job, but not because I mind working nights, but just because he could earn twice as much as I do. He said he would, but then I got to thinking about it, and realized that it was more important to me to have him home with Stella, so that they can have some time together too, than to bring in a little more money. I had an absent sperm-dad, and my dad (step-dad) worked all the time, so I think that really helped shape my anti-view of men. I want Stella and her Papa to be close and to me that is more important than all the money in the world!

I did suggest to him though that maybe he start web-mastering so that he could work a few hours after Stella goes to bed and earn a little extra money. I wish he would get on that.

Oh Pam... divorce final. Wish we could all be there after to take you out somewhere and do something crazy fun to get your mind off it.

It snowed all evening yesterday and is SO pretty outside!

Claudia - it'll blow over. I totally know those days when you are just ready to tell DH to go eat bugs and leave. But for me usually by the next morning I can deal again.

So here is a non-mommy related thing. Back in November we had this major snow storm. A coworkers mom called concerned about her being able to get home since she takes the bus. So I offered to give her a ride.

Well, 2 months later she is still asking me for rides. Thing is, her personal hygeine is not very good, and she smells really bad. That and she's not a bad person but she is a little weird. I'll walk in the door and she'll shout across the store "hey jennifer are we still on for tomorrow night?" and she'll do this several times a day. As if we have a date or something. It is embarassing to me (I know how shallow...) Anyway, but she asks me like a week in advance and I am not sure how to stop this. I don't want to give her rides anymore.

Next time I think I will just say "I have somewhere I really have to be right after work" which isn't a lie, because I do have to be home... But I also feel like maybe I am just being mean and I should just choke it down and do it because it is kind. No one likes the bus...

I'm jumping in to say how much I love this thread!! I usually don't post on here but love to read what's going on with you guys when I get the time!!

DH always gets to hear about all of you ladies :D He used to roll his eyes when I would talk about the boards, but now I think he finally understands that you guys are my Friends and I would probably be an insane mommy if I didn't have guys to get advice from or to hear that my baby is totall normal! Besides you guys and my sister I only know 2 other women my age that now have babies and I'm not really that close to them. I can't tell them EVERYTHING KWIM?

Thanks!!!!

Now I just need to work on learning your *real* names, I am horrible with names (online and in person) and I hate referring to you guys by your screen names when I reply to posts!!
