Happy Friday all! I'm so looking forward to a 3 day weekend even though we don't have plans. Do chrisy01 , kim22 , and dapostrophe all have the same avatar? John Travolta is the avatar on my computer and I'm so damn confused! nam2013 when we ditched the binky, night 3 was the worst in our house. Hopefully not at yours, it was also a year and half ago, so different behaviors in these crazy kids. Awesome job wedding ! Hopefully you continue to recover easily and continue to drop the pounds and help control your diabetes! yummeecookee I love gel, but it makes my nails so week. I used to have them done regularly, but had to quit. My thumb would always crack, way down in the nail bed, and it takes months for it to grow back out correctly. I had them done in early April, just one, had the crack, and my nails are still recovering. I haven't been to a desktop yet to access so it's just the generic. Maybe they changed it so the generic is John Travolta? Am I the only one seeing this? I do not see the generic alien avatar on anyone this morning. Guys, am I going crazy???

I noticed that too about the avatars mwhip. I thought it was a glitch on my phone but apparently not?

mwhip 3rd?! I'll keep that in mind, thanks. Well, technically the first night she was at my moms, I forgot to pack it in her bag when H had his last heart attack, so she didn't have a choice. And she may have just been so happy to be home with me the 2nd night, she didn't care. Extenuating circumstances in our situation.

snoopmommymom that sounds like fresh hell. Especially now. There needs to be a committee who decides it should always fall before winter solstice. I drink so much water I could never do it.

Embarassing story already this morning. I was driving to work and saw a truck that looked like my brothers. Same color, style, county on the plate. I was about half a car behind them in the opposite lane and it looked like my brother driving from the side mirror as well. As I got up next to him, I just looked over and waved, thinking it was him. Yeah, no, it wasn't. But the guy did wave back. I'm such an idiot.

I have the day off! It's much needed. Work has been busy and next week should be insane since only 2 of us will be there.
We're going down to Oregon. I hope to get a hike in.

I'm sure he just thought you were friendly mwhip...but perhaps in a Forrest Gump manner.

I just remembered I did the same thing to another car a few months ago, thinking it was one of my best friends. From the back, it looked just like her. Like I was actually honking and waving sitting at a stop light behind her. When I got up around to pass her, again, not my friend. I think I need to quit waving at people when I drive.

What is Ramadan? I have 0 idea. It's a Muslim religious month of fasting. They don't eat or drink ANYTHING (not even water) until sun down. It's very difficult during the summer months when the sun sets late. They start the fast before sunrise around 3:45am. So DH wakes up then to eat and drink something because he can't again until sunset. WHO CAME UP WITH THIS?! Thats insane. No water?! I feel like that could be really dangerous.

nam2013, Maggie had no problem with giving up the paci, either. One night of fussing (the second night, actually), and that was it.

Sorry your kids didn't take it well kim22! I feel like B would be thrilled if I were to have another. I couldn't picture C as a middle child though. He just screams baby of the family with his behaviors and antics. (I'm fascinated by birth order theory.) Me too! I don't think I'm reading into it, but only/oldest child descriptions always fit me to a tee. And growing up without siblings has really made me even more interested in it.

kim22, I don't think i told you congrats on #4! I am sorry the kids' reactions weren't that great, but I think babies are just so abstract to littles. Like yeah, they know what a baby is, but they also know they have to share mom with it. I am sure that it will be a lovely time once babe gets here and they get settled. wedding, can you make a thread on the private board for your weight loss? I am blown away you have already lost 41! That's how much my 6 year old weighs! You lost a whole person! Great job snoopmommymom, that sounds difficult, but i think it is cool that yh works hard to practice his customs. Speaking as a Baptist since birth, I can't imagine going that long without eating

I'm sorry the kids didn't take it well, @kim. I'm sure they'll come around. Great news, wedding! Must feel great! Hope there are more nights like that in your future, @nam! I go through stages with gel mains. It also weakens my already weak nails. So I'll do it for a couple of months and then have to switch to regular manicures. I've never done gel for a pedicure. I do get a pedicure every two weeks, but I feel like it's practically indestructible down there. Fffc: I do get silk wraps on my big toes because my nails are ridiculously short, and I think it looks better. I only do it for July and August, though.

Good morning lovelies. Today is the last Friday I have to work all summer. I have to work an extra hour Monday-Thursday, but I will take it.
I need yall to send all the sunshine vibes down to East Texas for Saturday so I can go to the Farmer's Market. I have a ton of things to sell from last week when it rained and I am running out of room.

We had some drama overnight. Went to bed at 9:30 and a few hours later I heard this awful high-pitched sound. A little background: I can't easily get in or out of the house with both kids, so I typically prop open the glass storm door to make it easier. I've been doing it since the weather got warmer. It usually stays that way for up to five minutes. The cat won't go outside on his own, so I have never worried about it. I guess I should have, because I apparently let a mouse in yesterday. And at 11:30, the cat brought it to us as a present. Hilarity ensued as my husband and I whisper screamed at each other about how to take care of it and who would take care of it. Thankfully, although I'm still so squeamish about this, mh took him outside in a bucket with a piece of construction paper under it, and the mouse leapt out and scurried off. I'm obsessively cleaning this morning, and have put in three frantic text messages to our cleaning lady to see if she can come over today to help. I'm so grossed out. I'm clean, I promise.

I would have told you yesterday I could have handled it, but once confronted with it, I was cowering on the bed with my iPhone flashlight focused on the scene.

Morning loves! I'm in packing hell. Movers come tomorrow so I need everything packed today. Carpet is being installed in the bedrooms today and we pick up appliances this afternoon. I'm so freaking excited to get out of this apartment and into a house! There will be a slight delay because the main sewer line is crushed from tree roots, but FX it is within the cities responsibility. We will stay at my sister's till it's fixed. I'll try to post some before and after pics of this reno. I'm amazed at the difference already and we haven't even fully tackled the kitchen. nam2013 when we ditched the Paci it was NBD. I stressed out about it, and it was smooth sailing. Hopefully stays that way for you guys. wedding congratulations lady 41 lbs is awesome! kim22 congratulations on your pregnancy! How exciting!! I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

I think I need to start putting baileys in my coffee in the mornings. I flipped the fuck out when I pulled out an empty box of cereal bars & an empty cereal box when trying to get M breakfast this morning.

mskatiep Good luck with the move! Where abouts in the city are you going? Or still staying up north? I act like it's *such* a far drive when it's maybe 30-45 minutes!

I flipped the fuck out when I pulled out an empty box of cereal bars & an empty cereal box when trying to get M breakfast this morning. People at my work put empty food containers back in the fridge. And not just ones they will take home to wash***, the disposable ones from leftovers at restaurants. WHY? *** This I have been told is so they don't get all stinky if they forget them. Which makes sense but still bothers me.

It's sunny today 😎!
I got almost to work and realized I left my laptop at home, so was pretty late. MH is taking N to the doctor and I'll head home to relieve him after my meeting this morning.. but just got a note that we can be dismissed at 1! Hope my boss agrees.

WHY. I know it was MH becuase M can't reach those shelves. Last night I found an empty enchilada pan in the fridge. I asked him why he put it back in there when there were no leftovers remaining. He said he didn't want to leave it sitting in the sink because the cheese on the pan would get all hard.
