My mother stared at me and said, "I did not raise you to act like that." Smackdown! She was right, though.
Lol. I know exactly what you are talking about now. I am going to have to think that one over before I respond though.

If I respond now, you will probably just have to delete it and I don't want to cause you more work.

rkb: Good for you on the hair color! Enjoy it!!

Lately on my posts I've been thinking: WWJD

What Would Julia Do?

Then I put my fist in my mouth and repeat, "Must not be stinky. Must not be stinky." It doesn't always work though.

Poppping in for lunch!

Speaking of whiney young adults.....(don't want to limit it to only the 19 yo's...). Ever wondered what would happen if they were all in one room?

I've decided to join the gym to build up some muscle strength so I'm not hurting myself everytime I try to do something in my garden.

Most of all, it would be a healthy place to run away to when I feel like running away so I can expel some energy!

I have a plan! And if that doesn't work, I'm going to the doctor's for a checkup, Dew!

Good for you Hopes. Having a plan really does help.

I am going to do the same thing. The past month has helped me see that I really need to follow up on some things with my doctor - things I didn't make the connection about earlier that might explain some things....

Lots of emo music and competing to see who has had the worst life because mommy didn't hug them enough as a kid? Or maybe she didn't cook enough hot meals?

Happy Birthday, rkb!

First, there would be a fight over who got the best chair. The best chair could be anything from the most comfortable to the best placement in the room. Then there would be the arguing about who's parents love them the least because even though they have food, shelter, clothing (expensive of course), a cell phone, a laptop, a car, free insurance, and a million other things they don't need but "deserve", their parents don't love them because they only have the original iPad and haven't been given the iPad 2 yet.

Hello All! Hope you are enjoying your lunch.

What do you guys do when all your kid wants is a hot dog for breakfast, lunch and dinner? I make Toddler X eggs, bacon, toast or sausage and he will eat the sausage or have a hot dog leaving the rest. I make him spaghetti or some other hot meal for lunch and he will cry until he has a hot dog. I make dinner and he would rather have a hot dog (only exceptations is if I make a chicken curry or a flank steak with chimchurri sauce). Anybody gone through this?
