disney tricks???
:shock:

do tell....

[newmami]

Well, not sure if you will call them tricks, but there are couple

All parks have this baby changing stations that are the best!!! they even have rooms for Nursing, and tons of changing tables. And if you have a baby you can always go there to cool down, or use the restroom, instead of the regular ones.

There is a phone line where you can call and make reservations for meals (priority seating) so you don't have to wait 2 hrs for your table

Some rides will allow you to be on line, have Daddy go in the ride while Mommy waits with the baby, then when Daddy is done, they switch babies and Mommy can ride.

Wow thanks Claudia we go to Disney every year. My mom and dad are snow birds so we go stay with them for our vacation. Last year we went with my DH's parents and a cousin and stayed a week in Disney. I can tell you Zachary loved it and asks all the time if we can do that again.

I have a cousin that lives in Cocoa Beach and my aunt and uncle live in Mims, and a cousin in Orlando.

[brcarrie]

Please don't let me be the post killer!

[HollyJo]

Heheh... I'll save you! This can't die at 51 pages... it has come so far.

What's the grossest baby moment you can remember???

Mine was a combo of a blowout diaper and plenty of spit up when I came to get C from his bed in the morning. He sure was happy about it though... all smiles. I, on the other hand, was less than thrilled. Stinky!

[without]

I have noticed it keep slipping down the page!

Whats up with you girls? :lol: nothing left to chat about? :wink:

[MarchMommy]

oo thanks Claudia...ill have to remember those tricks!!!

i think my grossest baby moment was when Madi was about 2 months old and it had been 2 days since she pooped...well i set her in her bouncy chair in the living room to walk into the kitchen to get something to drink and when i came back she had poop from her knees to her EARS...inside her ears, in every crevis...it was so gross....

[BBKCD]

My all-time grossest baby moment was a blow-out diaper, on a plane, when Bianca was an infant. Add poor ventilation on a cross-country flight, and the fact that their were more blow-out diapers than outfits, in the end.
With Ciara, it was the only time she's had projectile vomiting (hey, you asked)....Nothing like having it everywhere.

[YellowRose]

I think my grossest baby moment was when Caleb was about 2 months old. He woke up for his morning feeding, he ate and then I set him on the changing table to change his diaper.... like I did every other morning. I took his diaper off and he shot poop EVERY where.... all over my hand, the changing table, everything. It was so gross!

[preahd]

Hmmm, gross moments...I'm sure I have a few tucked away in my mommy brain, but nothing comes to mind right now. However, I have to say, Donovan had his first turd this week :lol: He hadn't gone in a whole day (and he's a once-a-dayer and often a twice-a-dayer). He was a bit constipated. When he did go, it was a orange wedge-shaped turd that rolled around in the diaper when I took it off. Gross but so funny. I'm the worst...I took a pic of it to show DH when he got home. But, I immediately deleted the pic. I'm sure Donovan doesn't need that pciture popping up when he's running for president :lol:

[Jai]

I'm sure Donovan doesn't need that pciture popping up when he's running for president :lol:

:D lol

I honestly dont think Ive had any gross moments with Pey YET!! :D But that could be because I went through them all already with Marissa. :D

Grossest with Marissa. Christmas Eve we celebrate with DHs family. Marissa was getting over the flu. She was 16 months old. She was in her pretty Santa dress and I was carrying her through the living room. Everyone was sitting down to eat. I had my plate of food in my hand. She threw up EVERYWHERE. She had been running a fever earlier so it was curdled milk. (Sorry, you asked :) ). I was soooooooo embarassed. Thankfully, it didnt bother anyone else. I guess with that many kids in the family, theyve seen it all. :D

[newmami]

Gross moment... one time I was changing Danielle and she decided to poop when the diaper was off.... and I swear it was a shot of poop that went EVERYWHERE!!!

Yuck!!! can we talk about something nicer??

I have an idea... what is your baby's latest achievement?
Danielle can sit on her own and she is trying to stand up, and she learned how to clap her hands

[Jai]

Latest achievment:

Pey's laughed before. But just little giggles. Yesterday we were all driving to my moms. Marissa was sitting next to her talking and singing. All of a sudden Pey started LAUGHING hysterically. DH and I were cracking up in the front. And Marissa could barely continue singing to her cuz she was laughing, which of course got Pey to laugh even harder. SOOOO cute!!

YAY for Danielle sitting all by herself and getting ready to pull herself up!! How cute she claps her hands!!

[sarahlynn]

i cant think of a gross moment...i have had soem pretty big diapers but nothing to bad yet...

i really want to get DS to disney soon..whats the perfect age? he is 6 1/2 now..think its to young? maybe another year? we want to do the whole disney resort thing..stay right at the parks so we dont have to drive a lot..

[sarahlynn]

does anyone elses pets look at the new baby like "where the he11 did you come from"

our sphynx will jump up onto the couch w/out realizeing baby is there and she will just stop and stare at her like ICK! you again!

[MarchMommy]

actually my dogs are really protective over madi. she loves my mini schnauzer, Cooper. everytime she sees him she lights up and he will lay his paw on the palm of her hand when shes eating and has her arm outstretched! hes a really sweet dog...
my scottie has this thing where everynight before i go to bed, he HAS to "peek" in her room...just stick his nose in and check on things...

its kinda cute!

[without]

My dog loved Ms. M until she started crawling! Poor Jade! She will crawl over to her and then grab ahold of Jades hair and pull herself on top of her. Jade looks at me like PLEASE get her off! LOL If Ms. M is upset and crying then Jade is right up in her face or running to find out where I am and why am I not taking care of her.

[Jai]

My dogs really could care less. I think cuz shes little still. When Marissas outside playing my one lab wont leave her side.

My moms dog though, has to be by one of the kids all the time when we're visiting. He gets frustrated when they're in different rooms cuz then he cant be w them both. When Pey cries he runs around the house to get me or my mom. And when Marissa spends the night, he sleeps on her floor.

[newmami]

I love how dogs are so protective with babies... too cute!!

Sarah, I think your son will really enjoy Disney now... if he is adventurous, he is old enough to do rollercoasters and the whole deal! and still young to do the kids rides

[brcarrie]

I agree Zachary loved Disney at 5. My dog tries to find me if Isabel is crying. Today was Zachary's first day at Kindergarden! I will post pictures of him later! He was excited, I can't wait to go pick him up and see how he liked it.

[without]

Congrats on the 1st day of school!!!


I bet he will love it. It will be great when he comes home and tells you all about his first day!

[DIVADLX]

sgoethe - its so funny your sphynx acts that way - we always thought our cats with hair referred to the baby as "the hairless cat." Our cats since day one have just wanted to cuddle up to Stella and even now that Stella tries to rearrange their body parts, they still seek her out. Yeah, she tried to ride Diva the other day. Not a peep from my little kitty.

Keeps me from killing them and their excessive hairballs lately.

Grossest moment is also one of the most amazing. I never ever knew that poop shot out of a baby's butt as though it was coming from a hose and could shoot across the bathroom as a velocity regularly reserved for noncivilian aircraft. But I do now!!! Boy what a mess that was to clean up...

[sarahlynn]

wow the first day of kindergarden...thats so exciteing...let us know how he does..

DS is heading into first grade..EEEEEEEEEk i am a nervous wreck..he had kindergarden issues..he is a talker and a social butterfly..his teacher has a hard time keeping him in his seat and his mouth closed :( i kept telling her BE TOUGH ON HIM! i wish they had more men kindergarden teachers.

[YellowRose]

:lol: I know the feeling!!! That's what happened when Caleb shot poop all over the place. It was like a fountian of poop coming out of his butt!

[MarchMommy]

thats so funny!!
:D :D :D


im going to Olive Garden for dinner....i cant wait

[YellowRose]

ooooo!!! Eat a breadstick for me, k? I looooove their breadsticks!!!!

[preahd]

Yum...me too...love those breadsticks. Love their salad too. So, can I put in a request for you to eat some of that for me?

[Jai]

Totally fattening, I know but I love the alfredo dipping sauce for the breadsticks!! YUMMY!! I havent been to Olive Garden in forever!!

[MarchMommy]

ooooo!!! Eat a breadstick for me, k? I looooove their breadsticks!!!!
i ate threeeeeee...AND salad, AND eggplant parm!!!

it was sooo yummy, plus i had time with my girls! it was great.....

[Jai]

Im glad you had such a good time Christi!!

I need to call my girlfriends and get them together. I miss them!!

[Jai]

I just got done re-arranging my whole room. We bought a new computer desk for the main computer. And I brought the desk from downstairs up to my room. Well I thought I would save DH some trouble and put together the new desk. YEA RIGHT!! That thing has so many pieces. I got the legs on before I gave up. Now its all sitting on the living room floor. :roll: So much for saving him some trouble. :lol:

[HollyJo]

Troublemaker!! :lol:

I'm like you... I get all ambitious to do something like that... then one I've started I remember how much I hate putting crap like that togther!

[newmami]

I gave up putting things together... between my stupidity for those things and that I don't understand half of the instructions, it is best for me to stay away!!!.... besides it is something DH enjoys doing!! (we just put together the grill, I held the parts and pass him the screwdriver... that is all I can do!! :roll: )

Ok, so this weekend DH was supposed to go out of town for work, I was SOOOO excited about being alone with Danielle, and had plans to go shopping for her.... then his stupid boss cancels.... he asked if I am happy he is staying, I told him I was disappointed b/c I was looking forwards for MY weekend, and he got all mad...... don't I deserve some time for myself????? I told him I don't like shopping with his son.... I made him feel bad enough that he will go with his son, and I will have my shopping day!! woo hoo!!!!!!!

[sunshine]

Good for you, Claudia! Enjoy shopping with Danielle!

[without]

Have fun shopping! I work 6 days a week. :cry: I miss shopping days! Even if I don't buy any thing I just like getting out with Ms. M and walking around.


I hating putting stuff together too but watch out girls Christmas is coming and it seems like every thing has to be put togheter! I bet for the next ten years I spend Christmas day putting toys and games together! :lol:

[without]

Just wanted to share some Pictures LOL

All the toys we bought and she would rather play in the toy box! :shock:

[BBKCD]

Doesn't it figure....Ciara would rather play with boxes and wrappers, too :roll:
The last thing I put together was her exersaucer. I needed a glass of wine to get through that experience :shock:

[BBKCD]

You just changed your siggy pic? TOO cute!!!!
"patty-cake, patty-cake, baker's......" :D

[without]

LOL DH kept calling her the "Iron Chef!"

[Jai]

Have a GREAT shopping Day with Danielle Claudia!!

Pam, I LOVE the pics and the new siggy pic. Morgan is adorable!!!

Im usually pretty good at putting things together. Plus DH barely has time to have dinner with us, so Id be waiting forever if I waited on him to do things. But man, that desk is just ridiculous. I called DH and asked him if they offered to put it together for an extra $20 or something. He asked "Why, would it have been worth it?" Um YEA!!! He got off early last night. Cant wait to see him put it together today. The bit**ing and all. *lol*

[YellowRose]

Pam and Jai... I LOVE your new siggy pics!!!

Dh just left to go to some store that sells jewelry, he has some gold necklaces that he wants to sell. And... the best part is... he took Caleb with him for the first time!!!! The two have them have never gone any where without me before!! Ahhhh!! It's soooo nice to have some peace and quiet!!!! :lol:

[without]

Congrats for you Aly!!!

DH watched Morgan for 15 minutes last night while I took a quick shower. It was a 1st. :oops: When I got out he gave her back to me and went to bed! It was too much stress for him. Just 15 little minutes. :shock:

[Jai]

Aly, thats so great!! They can have bonding time and you can have adult time!!

[without]

Adult time?? Whats that? LOL

[MarchMommy]

Aly thats great that you have some time to yourself!! enjoy that!!!!

[YellowRose]

Really... what is adult time?!?! :lol: It's nice. I was surprised when Dh offered to take him... I was like "REALLY?? Are you sure????" And he was! It's so nice!

[newmami]

I wish Dh will offer to take care of Danielle... he is like Pam's DH, 15 min is enough for him
Yesterday I was finishing dinner and Danielle was crying b/c she wanted to be held... DH? in the computer!!!! so I had to hold her while the broccoli was cooking, and handle to finish dinner while holding her.... and then give her a bath while food was in the oven... gotta love those helpers!! :x specially after the argument we had Monday about him not helping..... men are so useless!!

Pam, Morgan is a DOLL!!! I love her

[HollyJo]

I just hand C to my husband and say, "here you go, he's yours while I go make dinner." If C starts fussing while he's on the computer and I'm busy I just say, "could you grab him please? I'm busy doing _____." It's to the point now where I rarely have to ask anymore. When it's dinner time my husband just grabs a blanket, some toys, and they play on the dining room floor while I make dinner. It's a fun family time. :D

And YAY for some adult time Aly! I hope you enjoyed every minute of it.

Christi, just read the air travel thread... bummer that there's not enough time! Ah well, I hope you have a fabulous trip. :)

[YellowRose]

I just talked to Dh... he and Caleb are doing great, enjoying themselves. And it's been sooooo nice for me. This is the first time I've been home completely alone in 7 months!!! It's great!!! It's nice to be able to log into APA uninteruptted too!!! :wink:

Dh is usually pretty good at helping out with Caleb, unless it involves a poopy diaper, then it's another story!! But, if he's home and I need some help, he'll play with Caleb while I do whatever. He likes playing with Caleb and he can get Caleb to laugh hysterically. It's so cute!!

[without]

Thanks Claudia! Maybe its some thing to do with men who work for Coke? DH does a fine job with her when he does help. In the 15 minutes I was in the shower he changed her diapper and put on her PJs but I found it funny that he thought that was so stressfull that he had to go to bed at 8:30 after only 15 minutes of being with his DD. I think I may start being more pushy. I have talked to him about it in a nice way several times and its just not working. I hate having to be a B to get my point across!

[DIVADLX]

My husband is terrific about caring for Stella - he is the only one I'll leave her with for a project, and they love the time together.

Except yesterday when I went pee, came back and Stella was eating cat food... all my husband said was "she's getting fast..."

[newmami]

:shock: Jennifer!!!

I just have this theory that DH thinks kids don't need attention, that they do fine on their own... his son can spend 4 hrs on his room watching TV non stop, and DH will not blink!!..... then he says he loves to spend time with his son..... HUH??? :roll:

Monday with the big argument he admitted he needs to rethink his priorities and that he doesn't understand how I can do all this things... well, b/c DD is my priority and then I go from there!!
we will see what happens, b/c he already said that before, and obviously nothing has changed!!

[Jai]

Good Luck Claudia, I hope things get better. And DH realizes he HAS to change.

DH is USUALLY pretty good with the kids. Better with Marissa since he can actually DO THINGS with her, but he still gets in his ruts sometimes. Where he thinks watching cartoons is quality time. I hate that. Play a game, go outside. Ya know. Him and Marissa have been working on cleaning the garage for about a month now. About twice a week they go out to clean it. Yea, clean it. But somehow they end up playing with the stuff in there. lol

[HollyJo]

Claudia... I hope your husband gets it together finally! :evil: Seems like he's needed quite a few talking-to's since sweet little Danielle arrived.

[Jai]

Ok...update on that computer desk. (If ya'll care :D) DH and I were out running the whole time he was up today so he didnt have a chance to get it together. So it was still sitting all over my living room floor. We were gonna do it when DH got home at 5 am when he got off work. Well my friend came over to drop off the car she was borrowing. Another friend of our (male) came so he could take her to her house. He seen the desk, and decided hed put it together for me. :D He got the whole thing done in 30 mins. :D:D So now, I have my living room back and Im off to hook up the computer downstairs. Whoo_hoo!!

[HollyJo]

Wahoo!! Only 30 minutes? That's great!! Have fun setting everything back up. :D

[newmami]

Awesome Jai!! so nice of your friends to help with the darn desk!!

[BBKCD]

Good for you Jai.... :D
I notice this thread has been dragging.... :cry:
So, what's for lunch? It's only a little past 9 here. I don't usually eat breakfast, but I'm getting hungry, so I have food on the brain.

[without]

Since the spider bite started getting bad I just can't eat! My tummy hurts to bad. I can't even think about lunch. :oops:

[HollyJo]

I just saw the pics of your spider bite Pam!! :( I hope you feel better soon. Can you call a different doc for a second opinion? Somebody with better advice than just waiting for your arm to 'rot'. :shock:

[BBKCD]

Pardon me, but I'm thinking WTF? What does it mean, let it "rot"? I'm so sorry this happened to you.

[without]

OK so this is my whine post. LOL


This year has been so hard on me.............................

1st I had Ms. M (Yeah!!) but had her via C-sec

2nd when Ms. M was 4 weeks old I had back surgery and had to spend 2 weeks face down

3rd went to the dentist and had two pits and one small cavity that had to be fix thats a 1st for me!

4th DH did some really bad thing and indangered my and Morgans life and distroyed my house. We had to seperate for a while until he got help. I love my mom and Dad but living with them with Morgan wasn't fun. (Good note is DH is better than ever and has kept it up for 3 months now!)

5th DH's G-ma died

6th the spider bite!!! Goodness what more can go wrong! Wait I don't want to know!

[MarchMommy]

omg what rough year!! hopefully it will get better soon!

[BBKCD]

You're banking alot...good things HAVE to be right around the corner!
((HUGS))

[sarahlynn]

DH is USUALLY pretty good with the kids. Better with Marissa since he can actually DO THINGS with her, but he still gets in his ruts sometimes. Where he thinks watching cartoons is quality time. I hate that.


OK my DH does this to...it will be a beutiful day and him and DS will be stareing at video games..UGH GO OUTSIDE..luckily msot of the time i can convince them both to go fishign or camping and they enjoy that..and i enjoy the alone time with Lucea

[newmami]

:shock: Pam, I am so sorry you had a rough year!! I hope that means ONLY good things are to come

And I am more sorry about your problem with Grant!! I had no idea!!!

[without]

yea it was bad and it was around the time of the big stink here when people were getting upset if we posted things about our DH's and then didn't take there advice. Things are much better now. I just wish I could have felt comfortable about talking to you all about it. I couldn't tell in one in my family really because I didn't know what to say. DH tore the house up, took all our money out of our account, rented a hotel and tried to kill himself! :shock: All this while I was away for the weekend with DD on 4th of July. I felt so quilty like I should have stayed behind even though Grant had to work. I am just thankful he got help and we are doing so much better. Maybe thats what we needed was a breaking point. :roll:

[HollyJo]

Oh Pam, I'm sorry! That's a lot to deal with! I wish you could have felt comfortable coming to us. :( It makes me a bit sad that you had to go through the all alone when we could lended you support.

[newmami]

Oh Pam!! that is awful.... I am so sorry!! and I am sorry that you didn't felt comfortable to talk to us... yes the things on general and random can get heated, but I know in my heart this side is more friendly and supportive

So next time you have a problem, like the spider bite, please know you have us!!

I feel so bad...... :cry:

HUGS!!

[Jai]

Pam, I am so very sorry you were not comfortable to talk to us. That really bothers me that some people would make you feel that way. We are ALWAYS here for you. A shoulder to cry on, or an ear to vent to.

I am so sorry you had to go through that. Im glad your DH is getting the help he needs. ((BIG HUGS)) to you, DH and Morgan.

[MarchMommy]

yea me too....i agree with Jai. im so sorry that some people made you feel like that on here! always come to us if you need to talk....

im so happy that things are going better....for you and your DH! i really hope things turn around for you guys soon.

[newmami]

TGIF!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so happy it doesn't even matter that the weather is rainy and horrible, and my office freezing!

I am having my Mamy & Dani weekend!!!, even though DH is making a big violin deal about it :?...he asked me yesterday how long do you want me out of the house? I told him Oh you can stay home, I am going OUT!!!

[MarchMommy]

YAY its friday!!!!!!!

i hope you have a blast with dani, Claudia!! how fun for you!!!!!

[HollyJo]

Have fun!!! You giirls are gonna have a great time!!! :D

[BBKCD]

Sounds like fun Claudia... :D
I have to do laundry...no more putting it off. I don't MIND doing laundry, but it's a trip down the hall, which is why it's a pain. I really miss having a washer and dryer in my unit :cry:
I don't know if any of you keep any of your baby's toys in wicker baskets? I have a basket here at my feet, and DD was chomping on something. So I pretend to give her a treat so she'll open her mouth, and she has a piece of wicker in her mouth that she apparently pulled off the basket :shock:

[newmami]

Ha Micheal, Danielle does the same!!! but she will not eat a Gerber puff....

[MarchMommy]

im having a friend of DH's come over sunday and take some candid pics of Madi, DH and I. we literally have like 5 pics of the 3 of us! i enticed them with stuffed pasta shells for dinner!

[Jai]

Christi, I cant wait to see the pics (you are gonna share w us, right?). I bet they will turn out GREAT!!

[HollyJo]

Yeah, you can't tell us you're going to take pics and then not share the pics. :D

[BBKCD]

How fun Christi....can't wait to see them :wink:

[austinsmommy]

MM---that sounds like a cute idea! I have millions of pictures of just Austin and only a few of the three of us! Might be time for a family portrait! :) can't wait to see!

[MarchMommy]

OF COURSE...im gonna share. i told DH he had to dress nicely for them! i hope they all turn out!

[HollyJo]

EEeeeek! Pam! What kind of spider did you get bit by? Sorry, I was gone over the weekend so I missed the post.

[without]

brown recluse (sp?) I have to go to the wound clinic today. :cry: I am scared to death and in a whole lot of pain today. It didn't hurt tod bad yesterday but today is bad. :oops:

[YellowRose]

Ouch! Did the dr give you any antibiotics or anything? My brother just got bit by a brown recluse last week and his dr gave him antibiotics and some cream to put on it. I hope you feel better soon!

[HollyJo]

Oh no Pam! Your poor arm. :( I hope that the wound clinic can help you get over this.

[without]

Sorry I need to whine for a sec........
MY TUMMY HURTS!!!!! I AM SCARED TO GO TO THE WOUND CLINIC!!! MY ARM IS KILLING ME!!! AND I AM SICK OF MY MOM SAYING i AM BEING A BABY~


ok done~~~~~~ thanks for letting me vent. :lol:

[YellowRose]

You're not being a baby, Pam. Brown reculse bites are serious. Did the dr give you an antivenom shot??

[newmami]

Oi Pam, that doesn't look good!! I am thinking maybe you are sensitive to the venom or something... hope they give you antibiotics and whatever else you need at the clinic

I am very sensitive to all bug bites, a mosquito bite will turn into this HUGE thing, so maybe you are the same!!!

Please take care of yourself, and YOU ARE NOT A BABY!!! so come and whine your heart out here!!

[without]

Did the dr give you an antivenom shot??



There is no antivenom shot for a Brown Recluse Spider Bite. :cry: My tummy is torn up! I can't stay out of the bathroom! Its bad it hurts so much I just want to stay in bed with an ice pack but I can't aford to miss 6 weeks of work over a spider bite. I just pray the wound clinic can help with out slicing me open.

[MarchMommy]

Christi, howd the pictures go today?

They went SUPER~! he let me see them thru the TV, so i was so happy. he said he'd give me a 4x6 of each and a CD by the end of the week, so ill post them then!

PAM...OMG how painful! im so sorry about your arm, and you are NOT being a baby. i cannot imagine what you are going thru!!

[YellowRose]

There is no antivenom shot for a Brown Recluse Spider Bite.

Really? Hm. My brother got an antivenom shot the other day when he was bitten by a brown recluse, that's why I asked if you had gotten one.

[phillisamc]

OMG Pam. I hope they are able to help you. I hate bug bits they swell me up. I will be praying for you.

[sunshine]

OMG, Pam!!!!! Your arm looks horrible! I hope you've gone to the clinic and they were able to ease things. How is it today?

MarchMommy - can't wait to see the pics!

[without]

Its even bigger! My poor elbow is so big! I am going back to the wound clinic in about 15 minutes so they can look at it and clean it. Most of my arm is now red and has a feaver.

There are spider anit. V but not one for the brown Recluse. They must have given him the spider Anti. V. just in case he was bit by some thing other than a Brown R. I have researched this to the ends of the internet and I wish they did have one. :roll:

[newmami]

Oi Pam... sounds like that little sucker was very poisonous, I am so sorry dear!! I hope they can give you something at the clinic to make it better!!
Did you tried the compresses????

HUGS TO YOU! I am sure you need them

BTW, I went to Disney and the only Little Einstein things that they have are couple of DVD, you can also buy them at Disneyshopping.com

Jenny (crunchymommyto3) there are no CD from the Choo Choo soul :(

[MarchMommy]

thinking of you pam.....i hope you find some relief soon!!!!


its rainy and nasty here today...

[Jai]

Aww, Pam Im so sorry. I really hope you feel better soon!!

[Crunchymomto3]

Jenny (crunchymommyto3) there are no CD from the Choo Choo soul :(


Bummer...thanks for looking!! I appreciate it!!

[preahd]

Yikes Pam...hope that gets better soon. You're definitely not being a baby. Different people respond differently to those types of bites. And obviously, your body didn't respond well.

MM, I cannot wait to see the pics. Is your DH's friend a professional photographer or just a guy with a knack for photography on the side?

[sunshine]

Oh man, Pam. I'm hoping when you come back from the clinic you'll be able to tell us they helped some....this is just awful!

MarchMommy - We'll take some of that rain here in MD....all the grass around here is dead.

I went to Quizno's for lunch and got it to go....got back to my office and those idiots gave me the wrong sandwich!!!! :x

[MarchMommy]

oh no debbie!! i love quiznos...dont they basically make it right there in front of you? and they still gave you the wrong one?? :?

[sunshine]

Yep...they were super busy and I saw my sub come out of the toaster but they wrap them so fast...I think they gave the guy in front of me my sub. I had to drive back to get another one! :roll:

Anyone like the Sobe drinks?

[amberd]

I loooooooooove Sobe Adreniline Rush.. don't know if I spelt that right. Oh, there's another thing I look forward to when Lil D is done BFing... energy drinks & Starbucks :lol:

[MarchMommy]

yea, the green tea one! i LOVE LOVE LOVE green tea!

[YellowRose]

I've never had a Sobe drink.

[MarchMommy]

anyone had the Lipton Green Tea? i drink it by the gallons!!!!

also ive just recently gotten hooked on Propel....its so yummy, no caffeine and hardly any sugar....

[Jai]

That sucks Debbie that they switched your sandwich up on you.

Ive never had a Sobe drink before.

[MarchMommy]

im dancing around the room...

we just got a security system installed. i had a strange man come to my door last week and demand that i open the door, he was beating on my door and ringing the bell...i was hiding in the garage (he saw me drive up and i couldnt get in my garage and get the door down fast enough, cause i saw him come into my yard) so i had to call the police...i was REALLY scared tho!!

anyway...our house is wired for an alarm system, we just hadnt gotten it going yet, but that episode was enough to get me on the phone to get one...

so we are safe and secure!!!

[YellowRose]

oh my! That sounds soo scary, Christi! I'm glad you got the security system now!!! I think I'm going to have Dh look into getting one installed in our house once we move.

[newmami]

Isn't it sad that you don't feel secure in your house anymore?? House is supposed to be YOUR place, where strangers are not invited.... I hate the insecurity!!!

[YellowRose]

I know what you mean, Claudia. I hate that too. I'm a little scared about living in a house. We live in an apartment now, so it's not that bad being home alone at night while Dh is at school, but being in a house is a completely different story. I've always hated being home alone at nigt.

[MarchMommy]

YES, Aly...get one! we got one with the "real time" monitor where if the alarm goes off the security office can come over an intercom that they installed and hear whats going on. and if its a false alarm, then i can give them my verbal password and name and stuff over the intercom, instead of them calling me. the idea is that it takes time to call, and if we arent home, call our emergency contacts. and if someone is REALLY in the house they can hear it. youd be AMAZED at how far you can go into the house and they can still hear you...its crazy!!! that way if there is a struggle, they can hear it and call the police.

yea that man creeped me out...i did go to the door (didnt open it) and tell him to get off my property....and he left, but i still saw him wondering our street. i think he was selling something, and there is a sign at both entrances to my neighborhood that says NO SOLICITING :evil:

[YellowRose]

What company did you go with, Christi? I know absolutely NOTHING about home security systems so I don't know which company is best. My MIL has one, but I don't know what company. I'm going to have to talk to Dh about it tonight. I'd really like to get one.. especially since Caleb and I will be home alone at night while DH is at school.

[MarchMommy]

we are with CPI. they only do systems in the North and South Carolinas!!

but ADT is a good one, and they are nationwide....we actually called them first, but our house was wired by CPI, so we had to go with them...

[sarahlynn]

gosh isnt it sad that we have to do this nowadays. I remember when we used to leave doors and windows wide open when we were little..not a care in the world..

[YellowRose]

yeah, it is sad. I hate it to be honest. I hate that you really can't trust anyone other than family any more... and even family can be questionable at times.

[newmami]

Ok, enough with the worries!!! :P

Let's talk about things that make you go HUH??? :?: :shock:
People at my work constantly ask me "what does this word mean?".... hello??? I am the only one here whose maternal language is not English!! all the sudden I became Merriam Webster??

Another one, my boss apologizes when he makes me work....

[Jai]

Christi, I would have been so freaked out. We have an alarm with ADT. Its not as cool as yours though. Id love to have the kind where they can hear in the house. They have to call us if the alarm goes off. It totally sucks that you HAVE to have it. We have ours since DH works nights and he doesnt like us here by ourselves. Makes me feel much safer though. ALL the doors and windows are covered.


Claudia, Your BOSS apologises when he makes you work? Thats nuts!!

[MarchMommy]

Another one, my boss apologizes when he makes me work....

HHUHHH?

haha thats too funny claudia!!!

[newmami]

He is too cute... he sent me some reports to print for him, mind you it was 3 pages, and then apologized for not printing them, but his printer does not do legal size....

[MarchMommy]

sounds like a nice guy to work for

[newmami]

He is awesome!! and very understanding about everything, and he is a joker too... but when he gets upset, it is spooky

Not like some of the other idiots that work here... I told one yesterday (Mr. Snoopy) to stop snooping on my girls (my supervised girls) work and to mind his own business, and now he doesn't talk to me... boo hoo!!!
how old are you again??? :roll:

[sunshine]

You have one awesome boss, Claudia! That's great!

Mr. Snoopy needs to grow up! :roll:

[DIVADLX]

My boss just pees in a diaper and cries whenever she wants something. I have to wait on her hand and foot!

:D

[sarahlynn]

ok debt questions...

me and DH (the terrible spender he is) have approximetly $7,000 in debt..total...its kind of spread out at a few different place..

so do we take out a personal loan and consolidate everything to make one payement (what i want to do) or do we continue to pay on each?

my DH sucks with money..grrrrrrrrrrrrrr i had like $300 in debt before he came around..

[DIVADLX]

If your personal loan will have a lower percentage rate AND you close the other accounts (so that you avoid having the loan and new debts) it might be a good idea.

Are you looking to buy a house in the near future?

[sunshine]

Just make sure you do your homework...a lot of times personal loan APR's are much higher than some credit cards. Can you consolidate all the debt on one card with a low rate?

[MarchMommy]

can you get like one credit card with a high limit and low interest and throw it all on that?

i dont think i would get a consolidation loan, if i could help it...cant those put a mark on your credit???

[newmami]

You can get a home equity line and payoff the credit cards, you will get a lower APR.
The best option would be find a new card with a lower APR, or a promotional one with a low APR, and transfer all the other cards to this one, and make a plan to pay it off.

Careful with those personal loans, they may end up having fees and a higer APR

[MommaAvoidinDrama]

Speaking from personal experience here, My DH got a consolidation loan to cover some of our debt. With this loan our APR skyrocketed to a whopping 23%, when all of the APR's prior were 15% and under, now we pay $210 a month and only about $75 goes towards the actual loan payment. I know it sounds really confusing, but they basically make you pay all of the intrest first and then finally you start to pay on the loan itself. We tried to get it all lowered, but with the company we have it is close to impossible.

By the way I would love to be working right now, but I live in a basically nowhere place where jobs aren't too easy to come by. Claudia- I think your boss must be really awesome to work for.

[brcarrie]

I want Claudia's boss

[MarchMommy]

i want to KILL my boss right now :evil: :evil: :evil:

[newmami]

OK Christy, what did he do now???

[sunshine]

what happened?

[sarahlynn]

i talked to my bank and they can do an open line of credit..so that we could use it to pay off whatever we want..the interest rate is lower than personal loans..

we have a home but havent had it long enough to get a home equity loan..grrrrrrrrrr...DH deseves to be punished...painfully

[DIVADLX]

Stella's learned to drive!

Making her first right hand turn...

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/DIVADLX/aug24driving2.jpg

Ah! Success!

http://i55.photobucket.com/albums/g125/DIVADLX/Aug24driving.jpg

[LuMo]

OMG DIVADLX that is so funny. :lol:

[HollyJo]

Awwwwwwwwwe... look at her!! She's so adorable!

I'll send C over so he can push the gas and brake while Stella steers. :lol:

[DIVADLX]

ALright! Sounds like a good idea!

You know, she'll trade off too, if he wants to steer for a while.

[HollyJo]

I'm sure C would love to steer! I hope you have good insurance. ;)

[DIVADLX]

You know I do! :D

[Jai]

OMG, that was the cutest picture!! :D

[stash]

She is just the cutest thing... what a wonderfully shaped head!

What a weird thing that was to say... :lol:

[MarchMommy]

JEN!! How cute is Stella!!!???

what an angel! thanks for posting pics of her!!

(stash...i get that too about madi's head, and about how nicely its shaped :D )

[YellowRose]

Jen! That is the cutest picture!!! I love it!

[MarchMommy]

yea, you'll have to put that in the POTW where babies are doing grown up things!!!

[newmami]

She is too cute Jenny!!!

So who has big plans for Labor day?? we are staying on a hotel in Disneyworld and spend the weekend as turist!!!

[YellowRose]

We'll be moving on Labor day, not too much fun, but we'll finally be in OUR house!!! Yay!!!!

[MarchMommy]

well i WAS going to go visit Mandie (Landon6), but we had to have our A/C fixed (remember that ladies?) about a month ago, and since then prices have skyrocketed for airline tickets!!

[phillisamc]

That is so cute. I wonder if Sir chunckolas will be doing the same thing when he gets back? I have missed so much in the pass six weeks.

[MarchMommy]

ill bet you cant wait to see him!!

[newmami]

Aww Marsha!! I can only imagine how much you miss Niky!!! but the month is almost over, and soon you will hold Sir Chunkolas in your arms!!

[YellowRose]

Aww Marsha! I can't even imagine how much you miss little Niky! I've never been away from Caleb for more than a few hours and I always miss him like crazy! Hang in there... you'll have him back before you know it! Hugs.

[sunshine]

I can't imagine being from G that long either! DH's freak of a mother just called us today and asked if DH could come to her house and stay a few days with G because she misses him (they live like 3 hours away!) and she knows I don't have leave to go visit....she's a freak! I said, "hellno! can he take G and go ANYWHERE for a few days! HE can go, but G isn't going anywhere!"

I'm so glad Niky will be home with you soon!

[MarchMommy]

OH no...i cannot imagine being away from Madison that long (3 days is long in mommy-time)

Debbie, can you go with them?

[sunshine]

Nah! I don't want to go see MIL!!! I don't have that much leave and I'm trying to save the little bit I have for the next baby we have.

Labor Day plans...none for us. We're going to the beach the weekend after though.

Aly - Hope your move goes smoothly. I know you'll be SO happy to be in your OWN house! I'm so excited for you!

That is THE cutest picture of Stella!

Stacy - I've always thought that about Stella's head...it's just PERFECT!

[preahd]

My boss just pees in a diaper and cries whenever she wants something. I have to wait on her hand and foot!

:D

Ha...ha...ha...I love it! I've always said, this is my most demanding boss, but most rewarding job. :lol:

[sunshine]

Definately the most demanding and rewarding job out there! It's my favorite! :D

Is my Dh the only hubby out there that really needs to still do some growing up? The man is 27 years old and stayed up until 3am playing stupid games on the XBox! :evil: So needless to say, it's 11:30 am and he's STILL sleeping! Lazy butt! I've been up since 6:30 am with G, made us both breakfast, played with G, cleaned the house, bathed G, and put him down for a nap. Geez!!!

[DIVADLX]

Actually a lot of people say that about her head... for a vaginal birth baby its always been nice a nice round noggin. Thank you for the compliments!

Sunshine - if you deposit the baby on him and leave the room he'll get up! :)

My husband will stay up really late and before I go to bed I just remind him that he'll still be woken up at the regular time and he's the one that'll regret it AND he will NOT be allowed to complain about being tired.

Oh and video games were something we discussed as being forbidden before he ever moved in. Man, I am such a witch!

[YellowRose]

Oh and video games were something we discussed as being forbidden before he ever moved in. Man, I am such a witch!

You're not the only one! Before Dh and I got married I told him tat video games of any sort were forbidden and never would be allowed in our house. Dh didn't seem to mind too much.. and still doesn't.

[Jai]

Oh Gosh Debbie, NO your DH is not the only one. My DH just last weekend did that. 230am he comes to bed after playing XBox. Only Im not as nice as you. I woke him up at 830 after the girls had been up and already ate. I let him complain for about an hour and then he was fine. If I cant sleep then neither can he.

MEANIE me I know. :D

[MommaAvoidinDrama]

I know this story all too well. My DH stayed up until 8 this morning playing a new X-Box game that he got last night. I hate it when he sleeps the whole day away and then when I try to make plans for the weekend he seems so irritated. The weekend is the only real time that we have together as a family. DH works from 3 in the afternoon til 4 in the morning everyday of the week except on Fridays. I really hate the dang X-Box, but I won't deprive him of his "toys".

[MarchMommy]

DH used to play playstation all the time (pre-madi days)

i keep him busy enought that he doesnt even think about it!!

[HollyJo]

Video games... yes, we have an Xbox 360. :roll: Once the newness wore off it wasn't a big deal anymore. Thank goodness! I can't ban video games though, I like to play them too. Well, I used to. Who has time anymore?

These shirts are crackin' me UP! I need to get one for my husband for his birthday, but I can't decide which one.

http://www.noisebot.com/?gad=CKOe2skCEgj9nrwVBudi1xix_rX9AyDT29sO

I think my 2 faves are "Quit staring at my Tuts!" and "I Put Out" :lol:

[stash]

Heh, I like "Guns Don't Kill People. Your Mom's Cooking Kills People".

:lol:

[austinsmommy]

DH used to play playstation all the time (pre-madi days)

i keep him busy enought that he doesnt even think about it!!

Same with us!! We have a playstation but it doesn't get used much anymore....However, he does spend a lot of time on his computer....kinda the same thing...i am on him about it all the time....

[Jai]

Oh, dont get me wrong. I love video games. I just nag DH when he stays up all night playing and then thinks he can sleep the whole next day while I get up with the kiddies. Actually, we just got Madden (football) and as soon as both the kids are asleep we're cracking it open. :D:D This will be the first year we have it for something other than Playstation 2. Im excited to see how it looks on the 360. :D:D:D

[1stgradeteach]

My DH quit playing video games about 2 years ago....THANK GOD!

[sunshine]

:roll: He's at it again! I don't care now because G is down for the night. It just really bothers me when he's playing and Gavin is awake...I feel like he's cheating him out of Daddy time! MEN! :roll:

Funny shirts! I like the "Achoo, I'm allergic to B.S" one.

School starts tomorrow...... :(

[DIVADLX]

Jenn's un-PC moment... I love the "Jesus saves" one and "Bach off."

Yeah, I don't know... I never got into the video game thing...

I cannot believe Stella will be 8 months in 4 days!!! Holy cow! Where did the time go!

Do you ladies often just close your eyes and "relive" the day your baby was born?

[tralynne75]

Labor day plans...I was asked out for a date by DH (first time since getting married 3 yrs ago!!) I was so excited I have a hair appt, plan on getting a pedi and mani and maybe buying a new outfit (money willing) BUT MIL was to babysit and she really pissed me off so i am thinking about canceling the date.

The growing up husband... I will let you have my DH for a week then you will beg for yours back. LOL!! Every night he stays up until about 3am, normally sleeps to about noon, depending on his work. He invites his buddies over and they arrive at about midnight to play games and on Firdays it is poker night, they stay to about 6am then DH wants to sleep all day while i tend to Katie. Of course the guys are so loud I don't sleep when they are here either! And the reason I am pissed at MIL is because she wants to take over our finances because DH can not stop spending money and even though I fuss I get told by his family that it is HIS money and until I get a job I have no say. GRRRRRR.... by I let DH have it and told him he better grow up!!! A 36 yr old man whos mommy has to pay his bills cause he wants to spend it on junk!!!! (sorry didn't mean to rant)

[without]

You're not the only one! Before Dh and I got married I told him tat video games of any sort were forbidden and never would be allowed in our house. Dh didn't seem to mind too much.. and still doesn't.

DH would leave if I told him that he couldn't have his PS 2!

As far as Labor day goes it kind'a depends on my arm but right now we are planning a trip to Silver Dollar City.

[newmami]

Dh doesn't play with the videogames anymore... his way to get rid of stress is building legos, but ONLY after Danielle is asleep, and mostly when I am in bed... whatever he does with his time, is fine with me!!

OK, so yesterday we were driving and saw an accident that just happened (the cops passed us)... we saw an upsidedown car, and then I saw a woman holding a baby (probably from one of the other cars involved in the crash)... I told DH "there is a baby" (and they were obviously OK) and started crying like a maniac!!
Has anyone became more sensitive about this things since being a mom, or I am losing it???

[MarchMommy]

yes yes yes claudia...everytime i see a child on the news thats been taken or kidnapped, or worse, i cry...
if i see a mom hitting their child or yelling at them, i cry...

i just couldnt imagine anyone hurting madi, or her being in pain...it would kill me

[DIVADLX]

Me too! Babies and mamas I don't even know! I cried the other day because this 44 year old man died in a car crash leaving a 6-month pregnant wife. I cried the other day when I heard my cousin and his wife were getting a divorce and she didn't want custody of their 8 year old son.

I'm getting to be such a softie!

Legos! My husband LOVES legos! He doesn't really have time to play with them, especially since theyare such a choking hazard, but in Hawaii there was another grown-up lego-maniac that he would go have "play dates" with where they would build these lego cities.

Labor day plans? Oh jeez.. another wedding anniversary that we'll probably not really do anything about...
:D

[HollyJo]

My husband is a lego lover too. He still has all of his legos from when he was a little boy. I bought him a Star Wars fighter jet thingy for his birthday last year.

For Labor Day C and I are flying down to Nevada to visit my mom for a couple weeks. Yay! I can't wait. She hasn't been able to visit C for 4 months and is aching for a chance to pinch his chubby cheeks.

Happy Anniversary Jenn! How many years will it be this weekend?

[DIVADLX]

Well... 5 years... kind of...

[brcarrie]

One of my nieces are getting married on September the 2nd! I can't wait it is my sisters 2nd girl. So I took off on Friday and I am going to help them all day.

[sunshine]

Happy Anniversary!!

YES... I do relive G's day of birth ALL the time.... in fact, so much that it's scary. I've often wondered if I were the only one....so glad to know I'm not alone in that one.

Yes, I have become WAY more sensitive since becoming a Mommy... it's weird...I cry at the drop of a hat over everything...maybe those hormones haven't gone back to normal yet...doubt they ever will! :lol:

[HollyJo]

I think of C's birthday often too. It's such a happy memory that I don't want it to fade. I figure if I revisit often I will be able to have a clearer vision of it for longer.

Anybody wanna go for a spin in Caiden's new ride?
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b87/HollyJoB/IMG_1997.jpg

[MarchMommy]

aw, holly that pic is SO cute...you should put it in POTW....for fun babies!!!!!

[sunshine]

:lol: Awwwh!

[HollyJo]

Oh yeah! It's a new theme this week! Will do. :D

[newmami]

Too cute Holly!!

Ahhh the birth day... one thing I remember the most is when I saw her, I cried so much.... I get all teary eye thinking about it!

I went shopping for Danielle on Saturday, and Old Navy has GAUCHOS and the cutest capri pants... I was so happy!!!

maybe those hormones haven't gone back to normal yet...doubt they ever will!
Oh Lord, I am worst than I was PG... poor DH, he just hugs me!! :roll:

[MarchMommy]

ive never been very emotional either til i became a mommy. when Madi smiles at me for the i still get teary...when i talk to DH about our family i get teary....


:roll:

[YellowRose]

I also think of Caleb's birth day often. It such a wonderful memory, I don't ever want it to fade!!!

Holly, I love that picture of Caiden! He looks soo happy to be in that box! Too cute!!!

[MarchMommy]

i think of Madi's too...the anticipation, the excitement....and the contractions :shock:

j/k!!

it was a wonderful experience, and i think of it often!!!

[newmami]

WARNING LADIES!!! there is a weird thread on Random called Symplistik is fake... we don't know what is going on, but apparently some psycho is stealing pictures from here!!! she/he stole couple from Amaris (Kari's daughter), so keep an eye on your pictures!!

[YellowRose]

:shock: What do they do with the pictures?

[sarahlynn]

yeah i saw that post..what a nut job..the whole bunch of em... :shock:

oh welll labor day weekend my relatives want us to come visit them but i really dont want to do a 3 1/2 hour drive..ugh so who knows...

i love thinking of both my babies BIRTH days...they were so so so so different..DS was 32 hours of labor and 2 1/2 hours of delivery and he was a whoopin 8lbs :( ...DD was a short walk to the operateing room, a ew drugs, a nice small incision and she was born in 3 minutes :D i have both births on video so that helps me remember when my memory starts to fail me..

[HollyJo]

How do you find out if someone has stolen your pic?

[YellowRose]

I'm afraid to have Caleb's picture up now... I like sharing him with you girls and I like to see your baby's pics, but I'm not comfortable with having his pic up if someone can and would even want to steal it.

[HollyJo]

I just read that whole thread. It makes me so sad. I love sharing my little guy with all you girls, but now I'm scared. :(

[YellowRose]

I'm scared now too, Holly and I'm not too sure if I'm going to post any more pictures of Caleb. I just don't want some freak out there stealing my baby's pictures and doing who knows what to them.

[DIVADLX]

I don't know if yall remember a long time ago before I started posting pics, but I was afraid someone was going to steal them! But then I decided to trust you ladies...

That's also why the feet in my signature... I figure whatever if they steal her feet!

I'm off to read the post in Random now!!!

PS - I was in BRU today and found that they sell Baby Wise and Toddler Wise (the books) and I was so disappointed in them...

[HollyJo]

We're all just grateful that we at least get to see Stella's feet. :D

[DIVADLX]

Well, they are the best feet I know! :)

[preahd]

Yikers! I had no idea about all that until I just read this post. But, by then the original post was gone. I don't venture to that side of the boards much so I was so out of the loop. Well, that's a little disturbing, but like MM said in one of her posts in Random, I'm not changing a thing either. Too sad. I think I'll stick to this side of the boards (and BF'g section).

[sunshine]

It's just so sad and very scary. I've taken all my pics down. I'm just scared crapless really and feel my family is a teeny tiny bit more protected without our pics posted on the internet. I love sharing pics with you ladies, but I just can't bring myself to do it now. :(

I feel sooooooo bad for Amaris and Punksuzy. :(

I want eggs and bacon for breakfast...what's everyone else having?

[stash]

I don't know, I guess I'm weird, but I don't see the concern if someone "steals" them. I mean, Kari has the right to feel upset. But, I don't know that I care enough NOT to post pictures of Oscar. So they say Oscar is their baby. So what? He's not. :lol:

[MarchMommy]

um i think (just my opinion) but theres something MUCH deeper going on there.....like some kind of weirdness (not with Kari,but with the other party involved). i kinda followed the story 75% cause i wasnt on yesterday afternoon, but i have my opinions about what happened....

i hate that made some of you take your pics down....im going to miss seeing them.....

[sunshine]

I know I'm going to miss posting them too. Maybe I'll post again when things settle down a bit. This is a wake up call for me though...cuz I think I share too much about myself and post pics of my house and such...I have to be more careful. My opinion of course.

Anyway, going for a pedicure today and can't wait!

[YellowRose]

I feel the same way you do, Debbie. Maybe I'm just computer illiterate, but I didn't even realize that all you had to do was right click on a picture, any picture, to save it to your computer. I'm not going to be posting pics for a while... maybe once things die down again, but still.. I don't know. It's sad because I love sharing my little guy and I love seeing all the APA babies.

[MarchMommy]

this is just all very sad.....

i dont even know what to say, because i love seeing all the babies, then someone has to go and ruin it....like usual....i just hate all that drama, you know???
its unnecessary, and ridiculous that happens...i just hope the people who caused all of it just leave it alone, and admin finds out what reallyhappened

[without]

Ahh!!! Scary! :shock:

It would break my heart not to post a pic of Morgan! I do think I will be more careful about giving out the city and state I live in. Just in case. :wink:

[YellowRose]

I hate all the drama too, that's a main reason I tend to stay out of random and stick to the mommy boards. I love that we can all get along peacefully like grown women without all the drama here. All the drama and name calling just reminds me off a bunch of 7th grade girls who can't get along. It's just ridiculous.

[Crunchymomto3]

You are totally right Aly. I'm going to stay out of general and random from now on too....

[MarchMommy]

well unfortunatly i HAVE to go there to "mod" them, but i definatly see why you ladies are upset....

im going to email admin and make sure that they know to stay on top of this if they can, and maybe figure out what the heck happened...

SO...does this mean no more POTW thread???? :cry:

[YellowRose]

SO...does this mean no more POTW thread???? :cry:

I love the POTW thread, love seeing all the adorable babies and showing off my handsome little guy, but I'm no longer going to be posting Caleb's picture there. Not sure how anyone else feels about it..... I just know that I'm not going to risk it. :(

[sarahlynn]

i never even realized that random existed till a few weeks ago..but i am with you ladies..my home is right here with the mommies! Oh yeah and the breastfeeding one..noone dares venture in there and cause drama about our painful boobies :lol:

[Crunchymomto3]

I won't be posting a POTW...bummer, but the images of my kids are too sacred to be taken and have who knows what done to them.

[sarahlynn]

Jenny ~ did you notice my new pic...HA HA HA noone in their right mind wants to steel that sucker...

[MarchMommy]

well i love that pic sarah!!! i have it as my screen saver...so i guess you could say i STOLE YOUR PIC!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


hey at least i asked permission first, right????

well ill keep starting a POTW thread, and if it starts to get less and less response, then ill stop doing it...what a shame

[sarahlynn]

i like the pic of the week and will more than likely respond to it with luceas pics...i cant stand the thought of not shareing her with everyone..

[brcarrie]

I hate that some of you don't want to post pics anymore but I totaly understand. There is a way that you can put your pics to transparent. I have a programming friend that I e-mailed. He did this to a web site so people could not copy there art work. I will let you guys know as soon as I find out how to do it.

[sarahlynn]

well i love that pic sarah!!! i have it as my screen saver...so i guess you could say i STOLE YOUR PIC!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


YOU BIATCH!!!!

ok stealing nappy's pic is acceptable..i mean for gods sake look at her beautiful face.. :D

[jazzmom]

Out of curiosity I visited Random (which I seldom do, b/c I prefer to spend my time here when I have time to read/post and also b/c of the drama) and the whole thread(s) is just confusing. I guess I'm not really sure what happened but I won't stop including pics in my siggy because of it. I got me a cute baby and I want to show her off! LOL. Seriously, it's sad that people are so bored and heartless that they have to make trouble on great places like this.

[CandiceLeigh]

Hey MM, I saw everything that happened in Random & just wanted to let you know that I will continue to post pics of Christopher! I love sharing him with you guys & I can't imagine not sharing him! :D Love you girls & I hope everyone sticks around!

[without]

I will still post pic of the week as long as they don't know how to find Ms. M I think I feel safe. :wink:

[Jai]

I was out most of the day yesterday, so when I came home I was floored by what the heck happened. I still dont understand the full picture. But I guess no one will, except those directly involved. I feel really badly for Kari. I would be livid if that happened to me.

After a lot of freaking out yesterday, at how easy it is to steal a pic....I took mine down. But after calming down...Marissa and Peyton will be back. :D ;)

STUPID STUPID PEOPLE!!!

Debbie, I want a pedicure!!

[newmami]

I am trying not to freak out here... I believe that whole thread is 100% personal, and that should not affect the rest of us.

I will keep posting pictures of Danielle, I am not afraid of doing that.... I can ask DH if there is a way to protect pictures that we post... probably not but it doesn't hurt asking, right?

I like Random b/c I read from people who are not mommies still, but try to stay away from the drama....

Glad this side stays away from the drama!!!

OK... I need a pedicure too :P

[sarahlynn]

man a pedicure sounds so so so good right now....

i wish DH had gotten me one for my birthday...why cant i have a romantic man... :cry:

but at least my mommy brought me flowers.. :D ..mommies are the best

[Jai]

Sarah, when was your birthday? Did we just miss it?

I WISH I had a romatic man too. That aint happening with my DH. :(

[MarchMommy]

Sorry i stole her pic Sarah...shes just too cute for me not to have on my computer, and i have had her here, everyday since i asked for you to share her with me!!!!!!

[sarahlynn]

Yeah there is not chance my DH will be romantic..i told him the other day that i was going to post notes around the house on how to be romantic..

get this the other night we "did it" for the first time in 4 months..well by the end of it i wish i had just gone to bed..he was so worried because his dog got loose and wasnt home (he does this all the time and always comes home, unfortunelty) but every two minutes he woudl stop and say "do you hear a dog" and up he would go to look out the window :x



I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE NAPPY on your screen!! she is a wonderful conversation pieve...the pizza man who deliverd our pizza the other night said he was gonna have nightmares from now on after he saw her..i hope he was kidding.

[tralynne75]

I just wanted to say, i don't get to get on here alot through out the day so when I saw in this thread about someone stealing pics I didn't have time to read it. So at 3am after feeding DD i tried to read it but of course some was deleted. Well when I went back to bed at 6 I couldn't stop thinking about this and my first thought was I LOVE POTW and now because of this we will have to stop. My mom told me when I first started posting that people can find out where I live and come kill me and steal my baby. Well I laughed it off and she is mad I participate in the swaps but we have alot of great people on here. And I love seeing all the babies.

Happy Birthday Sarah!!!!!
And I want a romantic man also. I am with you Sarah we finally BDed for the first time since I was 7 months preggo. It had been alomst 5 months. And right when it was getting good he had to tell me his stomach hurt and what was on wrestling that night. :shock: I said sorry but that is not turning me on. LOL!!!

[MarchMommy]

tralynne...your mom has a very old fashioned way of looking at things...
you have just as much chance of someone in your own location doing that to you as you do from cyber weirdos....

im sorry you wont be taking part in POTW....maybe one day those of you not doing it, will reconsider!! i hope so....

[newmami]

Can I steal your stories and show them to DH when he complains "we haven't had sex in 2 days!!!"???????????

As for the other drama in Random.... whoever did it was obviously trying to hurt one particular member, unfortunately he/she was stupid enough to involve another person, and that is when it got ugly. I don't think that troll is here to steal pictures, his/her issue is completely personal... but I respect if you don't want to post pictures!

[sarahlynn]

WTH is the matter with your DH? No sex in 4 months, and hes not even focused. Id have kicked his butt!! :D


yeah i know..i should have kicked both his and the stupid dogs butt...shows who is high on the ladder of importance i am..

my dh actually set his camping lantern on the trampoline outside and brought the remote into bed with him so he could turn it on and off and use it as a beacon of hope for Luke (dog)

in the end i convinced him to leave the gates open and coem to bed...sure enough luke was home in the morn crashed out in the garage..i will be furious if someone comes knockin sayin we have puppies..
