I KNOW that I'm jinxing it, but my kids have finally been playing together and they're doing it nicely about 75% of the time.
It's so nice.
Now X is having some wild tantrums, but it's always something, right?

tgrimes having an infant in very close proximity to what is presumably a loaded weapon is certainly not the best idea I've ever heard.

The gun talk reminds me that I haven't gotten around to telling you about the craziness that transpired at the baby shower.
Buckle up, everybody.

Morning.
M2 slept horribly last night, but surprisingly, I don't feel exhausted today. I was very productive this weekend and able to focus a lot better, so I'm hoping it's my IV therapy working.
Anybody use Costco's Kirkland brand coffee k-cups? I see they are one sale this month, and thinking about trying them. I bought a reusable filter and have been using it about a month, but it's too much hassle.

dapostrophe I'm tagging you because you can appreciate the motorcycle club weirdness. Please, nobody quote. So the shower was for my stepbrother and his baby mama. The party in and of itself was pretty nice. I'm still not very impressed with the girl but I just hope she grows up a lot once the baby arrives. Very unlikely, I know. So. My SD was there of course and he shows me he has a gun in a holster on his belt. WHY? "Well, it's fine, I have a permit." Okay, but that doesn't tell me how it's necessary to wear to a baby shower?! "I don't like this neighborhood, we need it for protection now that a baby will be in the house, and...I forgot to take it off." Okay...but you live here. So take it off now and put it away somewhere safe? He just waved me off. But things would still get a lot more interesting... He brought over his motorcycle leathers to show off to me and his first ex-wife. I see Nazi SS thunderbolts on them and ask about these. He's like, "well, those are from the war." Right. No shit? BUT WHY IS THERE A NAZI SYMBOL ON YOUR JACKET? He says, well, we're going to remove those. That still doesn't answer my question so okay, moving on. There are several Confederate flags on it also. So I ask about those. He says "do you know what it means?" Um, yeah, do you? I said "well, it means different things to different people." He says "the red symbolizes the Confederate soldiers who fought and died." Uh huh. And why were they fighting? He says, "well, slavery." Right! TO PRESERVE THE INSTITUTION. So here it is, one of the worst things I've ever heard my entire life, "We should still own slaves. We wouldn't have a lot of the problems we do now." Astonishing. His ex-wife excused herself from the conversation at that point and I told him I'm appalled and he's lucky I don't want to make a scene at his son's baby shower because he knows how this would go in another setting. TL;DR Apparently my SD has become a member of a white supremacist motorcycle gang.

Who is making custom baby carriers with gun holders? WTF? I thought the same thing! Like are you out on a high speed chase or hunting with your baby strapped to you so you need the gun readily available!? |

Obviously some dumb ass thought it was a good idea and is selling it. |

Obviously some dumb ass thought it was a good idea and is selling it. People hunt with their infants!? Why am I surprised? And I get that many people carry guns, but to actually basically strap it to your baby? Or I guess it's like strapped to the waist part of the carrier? Why am I thinking so much about this!? |

I think it was strapped to the waist part of the carrier. Once I realized what I was looking at I walked away while telling him how fucking stupid he is, so I didn't get a good look. |

I bought a reusable filter and have been using it about a month, but it's too much hassle. I tried the reusable one, too, and could never get my coffee to taste right--more trouble than it's worth. I'll be interested to see if anyone responds about the Kirkland's brand. Right now I buy 8 O'Clock at the commissary (which is definitely cheaper than civilian prices)...I think it's $4.99 for a 12-pk/$7.50 for 18. |

I want all of these. Except the white one. And I would like to submit MaxiCat from 10 years ago to be on this list. |

tgrimes That's fun that your two will have a cousin on your H's side, congrats to your SIL! (and I think you were generous to hold onto stuff as long as you did...I held onto stuff for my own sister, doubt I would have been as generous with my H's sister. But I also knew my sister was actively TTGP, so maybe that's the difference.) Speaking of ILs, kids just opened a Valentine's day package from mine to reveal...a new stuffed animal for C--the kind you get at Walgreens. He will be finding his way to the purge pile within the next couple months. I'm terrible.

My boss is on a power trip and is pissing me off. But I found out I was accepted into a training in New Orleans in April so that is exciting! I should be recovered from butt surgery by then too.

Congrats to them, though!
