hey ladies!

count me in on the "quick glance at the FB news feed then on to better sites" group :)

i haaaaaaate MW. boo!

i do wish the ladies were back here too. (well, i just wish they never left...)

i confess (maybe this will start drama LOL) - when people posted about the missing malin thread my first thought was "why do you waste your time and emotions? lots of gals have posted on her wall for months, she never responds, she has gone on to other things in her life and if she cared about MS and these relationships, well, she would have made even the teeniest effort KWIM?"

let me be clear - this is not anything personal to her, not at all- i really like her and enjoyed very much meeting her IRL last year - you can insert any one of the numerous names who walked away from the board... it's just why waste emotions and get hopes up of a relationship when the person obviously isn't into it anymore?

i think i am just emotionally practical that way. :dunno (damn, still miss those old emoticons!)

I miss the old emoticons too!!!!!!

I miss Malin too, but I also miss plenty of other people who used to post more often. And ITU about it not being personal.

Maybe if all the preggos too more belly pics, more people would be on here. So go ahead, Megan!!! Let us envy your teeny baby bump and perfect butt!!!

We went to the state fair yesterday and took the train to get there instead of driving. The kids LOVED it. Probably more than the actual fair.

The smell of the oils they use to fry everything there were awful! You can totally tell they don't change them everyday. And thankfully I wasn't with anyone who likes to eat their way through the fair....I probably could have gained 15 lbs yesterday.

You know, we are having a mini baby boom here-maybe we can get some more people to jump on that bandwagon! That would surely bring people back!!!

Who's in???

Yay Nicole on your big U/S!!! That will be exciting!!! I am looking forward to finding out what you are having!!!

I am super bad about writing on peoples walls on FB. I feel like such a weirdo if I don't have anything other than Hey! to say. LOL

And I personally feel like a cow when I see Megan barely showing at almost 6 weeks further along than I am. LOL But post away...: P

You and me both. I am so excited. I was pondering having this one be a surprise, but my curiousity is killing me...(and DH too.)

I did buy a Prental Yoga video that I have been watching/doing. Its pretty cool...definitely stretches the muscles that feel like they are ripping apart. LOL

Speaking of that-I do have a general question. I have googled, but am getting answers all over the map.

How long is an egg viable after ovulation? Anyone know?

YIPEE!!!!!!!!!!

Do you contemplate the time of year for a birthday? I ask because March would translate into a holiday time birthday, and I know someone who thinks that is the best time of year to have a baby, but IDT I would like having to have a birthday party at that time every year.

Okay, someone please tell me to chill out...let me start by saying that I ADORE my MIL - she has been watching my kids for the past 9 1/2 years and she would do anything for us.

But I can't help but be slightly annoyed right now. Today was Natalie's first day of Storytime at the library. She has been looking forward to it for weeks since she was scheduled to be in the same session as a bunch of her friends - friends she does not go to school with.

Well, they just got back, and my MIL told me she accidently signed Natalie up for the morning sessions instead of the afternoon sessions. Natalie was allowed to stay for today, but she is being put on a wait-list for next week and may not get in at all. I feel terrible for her, mad at MIL, and guilty that I didn't just go sign her up myself.

This is one of those things that give me mommy guilt as a full time worker. I know it was an innocent mistake - my MIL was the 4th person on line out of about 100, but I can't help by feeling upset. I know this is a teeny-tiny issue in the grand scheme of things, but I am going to allow myself to stew for the next few minutes.

I'm sorry, Alicia. ITU why you are upset about it. We have had a few things happen that were mistakes my parents made, and I couldn't help but get upset about it. But in the end, it does tend to work out ok, and I am sure this will too.

Hopefully she will get into the PM session with her friends. But if not, I am sure she will make new friends in the AM session.

But don't feel guilty!! It isn't your fault at.all.

Btw, Jenn-I hope your mom's surgeries goes smoothly. My fil had one dne, and he said he isn't as happy as he had expected with the results. BUT I can GUARANTEE you he didn't do all the work he was supposed to in PT, and that makes a HUGE difference.

Jennifer, I hope you don't need surgery!! Ouch!!!!

If I do, I'm going to see if we can do a tummy tuck. You know, while she's there and all wink

She has school in the morning so will not be able to go to the am session.

I know you are right, it is not a big deal. And I really have nerve getting annoyed after everything she does for us.

Don't sweat the small stuff, don't sweat the small stuff, don't sweat the small stuff...

His solution. Join the military. I wish I was joking.

He leaves for 5 months on December 29.
Reserves, not that it matters anymore in terms of who gets sent overseas.

He is already an EMT, so he will be going to medic school.

He doesn't have anything going for him in his life, so i get it, I just hope he doesn't regret it.

I really wish there were bleachers at basic training so I could see him deal with drill instructors. Or get out done by the 19 years olds in much better shape.

since when are you 31? because if you are, than I am too

Ummmm... I am 31. ?? Born in '78.

LOL!!!

Okay, :oldlady: showing for real

When I read that post, I could've SWORN I was reading a post by Robin

ROFL!!!

What do I love about October??

Why, the Yankees winning their first playoff game, of course!

I am still so sad the Tigers did not make it. I know NY would have beat them, but it would have been more fun to watch. We fell a apart the last 4 games of the season :( Boo to the yanks.
