I said hard, lol.

Kate threw a hissy fit today about coming in for lunch. She was screaming at the top of her lungs. I hate when she does that. One of my neighbors was walking to her car and was looking. Once she realized it was a fit, she started laughing, lmao.

I told Kate that I knew she wanted to keep riding her bike, but she couldn't right now, and that if she continued to scream, I would have to take her right in and put her to bed without eating her lunch. She said she didn't want that, so I told her she needed to pull herself together and walk to the house. She did. Thankfully. Of course, this was a while into the fit, but I remained calm. When I don't, but goes bananas. But if I am too soft about things and try to be all upbeat or whatever, it adds fuel to her fire. I have to be firm but calm with her, which is so annoying to me.

The friend of mine on FB who said she was going to give me her gymbucks never did.

Thank goodness Tracy did-thank you Tracy!!!

IDK what is up with my friend. I mean, she lives right around here-I could have gone to her house to pick them up!!!

Oh well-she is the mom of 3, so I know her life is plenty busy too.

IDT I will ever catch up to Sonya on post counts.

That is ok though-I can live with it.

We are supposed to go eat crabs at Bill's grandmother's house, and I have a papercut. That is NOT going to be comfy.

IDC-I'll suffer through the burn, lmao.

I was looking in the baby name wizard book the other night. And yes, i realize that by doing so, I am probably sealing my own fate and AF will surely come. (does anyone else ever have those thoughts, that you might unintentionally make things happen or not happen? It really is not rooted in reality, but I can't stop)

Anyway, IDL any names. Regardless of whether we have another baby soon or later on, I think I am going to struggle to name the child.

Are there any names you really wish you could use?

I have none.

Hi everyone!

we are going to see the new movie by michael moore...and I am so excited! partly because I want out of this house ;)

we went to a show last night and I have to upload the funniest video of Don being put on stage.

on friday, i had to finally break down and call my dentist for some pain medicine...my tooth is absolutely killing me. I had one root canal done last week but the tooth next to it needs one and I could't afford to do them both at the same time and now I might just have to have it pulled. :sigh

I hate the end of summer because I can't wear my sandals...they are so easy to put on. I hate dealing w/ extra clothes and wet shoes, etc.

Hi Liz!!! Enjoy the movie!! I am not a huge fan of his, but I am always interested in what others have to say. I didn't see sicko, but I have seen his other films.

I am so sorry about your teeth. That is awful!!! I hope you get some relief. It really is a shame-most people I know avoid the dentist because no one has good dental insurance.

I wonder if anyone else here has a hard time keeping track of the ages of everyone's children who aren't our 4 year olds?

I know the round about ages, and some I remember for one reason or another, but others I can't remember for the life of me!

Anyone else, or am I the only slacker like that???

I probably could remember if I really thought about it hard.

If you're slacking, so am I. I don't remember anyone's kids' ages except their '05ers. Heck, I'm lucky to remember my siblings' ages and I certainly don't remember most of my neices and nephews ages.

it seems Kate's strip tease at nap yesterday was a one time show.

fingers crossed anyway!

kris · Guru

I try hard to remember other peeps kids ages but we have so many here that it is hard sometimes.

happylib · Guru

:wave:
I can't remember my own age, let alone others.

I have been trying to clean up in a pre Christmas effort. It seems like the weeks are flying by right now and I know if I don't get started soon I will be sorry. Why is it when I clean, I really don't like to make dinner? I wonder what I'll make.

I can remember some to a varying degree though I get the Kate's mixed up a little and have a hard time keeping up with which Kate goes with which Mom.

I could come up with them if I had to! :)

Today we went to the mall. Colin's idea even though he isn't feeling well. We parked at Sears and went in. Colin and Grant went upstairs. Addie and I stayed downstairs. I was looking around- bought a new shirt and something for Grant. biggrin

All on sale. I spent $9.69 at Sears. While waiting for the guys I went on to Old Navy completely forgetting that I needed to stay put so they wouldn't lose me. I go back to Sears to hunt them down. I go upstairs. Not there. I ask around. No one had seen them.. WTF? Who could miss a man 6'7" with a little boy? The sales clerk said, "You would think you couldn't miss him being that tall." I said, "Right back at you! And he had to have walked by you at least twice." He said, "Maybe they went to the bathroom." Ugh. So I head back to the elevator to head down. As I'm in the elevator Grant and Colin walk by looking for me to which the sales clerk said I had headed off to the elevator. They go downstairs but by the time they get downstairs I had already left Sears hunting them. I walked that entire mall looking for them. I finally wound up sitting on a bench in front of Gymboree. The entire time I'm sitting there with Addie- feeding her, etc- Grant was a
100 yards away from me sitting in front of Sears. I don't have my phone. I can't call him. So I head into Barnes and Noble to look for him. Not there. I head back down to where Hot Topic and Game Stop are. Not there. I finally top at the T*Mobile kiosk and call him using their phone. He was up at Sears the entire time. He had the whole store looking for me and if he hadn't of found me in 20 minutes he was going to call the sheriff's department to file a missing persons report. The poor man practically burst into tears when we finally met up.
I felt so bad. I just looked at Colin and said, "And this is why we never wander off." He showed me his compass that Grant had bought him last night and said, "I tried to find you with this." Then he lectured me.

ETA- We were separated for over 2 hours. We got to the mall at 2 and finally met back up at 4.
