I think that is what cracks me up the most too Julia!

Get that too! I'm blue eyed blonde. My husband has black hair and green eyes. ALL of our children (4 of them) have bloned hair and blue eyes and they all say, "they look like your husband!" "where did they get the blonde hair from?" I am a natural blonde...I know, I'm rare in existence in Texas, but damn!

I hate hearing, "They're all YOURS?" Like I'm a Duggar. I have 4 children...

Or, "How do you do it?" Well, I just friggin' do. Put one foot in front of the other, pray I'm not screwing them up!

Great post. The "where did they get the blonde hair from" would drive me up the wall.

I also heard "How do you do it?" And my response was pretty much the same as yours. (Once in a while the devil got in me and I'd say, "I put them outside the house at 6am, lock the door and don't let them back in until they start to howl at the moon.")

Hey a bit OT, but welcome back crazymom! How's the new little one doing?

And that would annoy me too!

Awww thanks! She's perfect....VERY difficult pregnancy, labor and delivery, but that's all forgotten now. In fact, she's sitting her cooing at me. Can't imagine my life without her now. We are SOOOOO outnumbered. BUT, our life is full of laughter, noise, and crazy. Happy to report that my 3 year old DOES NOT fight bedtime anymore, and my happy 4 month old (Evangeline Kate) sleeps all night...couldn't ask for better!

Happy to be back to CD-I missed y'all! Good to see the same posters are still kickin'!

Fabulous! What an incredibly pretty name. Glad everything came out all right in the end, so to speak.

I used to get that a ton when I was a single working mother. It was really annoying.

Thanks Fin!!!!

Most days I'm lucky we're all clean, fed, and alive. It's amazing to me how people lack such a verbal filter that they have to comment on anything and everything!

My recent favorite (at my health club the other day) was: Where did you get your boobs? and Are you fixed?

I told her that I got my boobs from being a 38 year old mother of 4, and yes, I got the Bob Barker treatment...I was spayed.

For the record, I had never seen this woman in my life...I attract odd people.
