So this morning our family was laying around in the living room enjoying an unseasonably cool morning. Just then my 3-year-old son's attention was captured by the sounds of children playing outside. As an only child, when he hears such sounds he immediately wants to be part of the action. I didn't see where the joyful noises were coming from, but I assumed they were c
resorting to the vinegar trick Vinegar? Yikes, haven't heard of that trick... I know I said "it wasn't that hard" getting him off his juice habit, but it really kinda was difficult, what with my husband ignoring my efforts and constantly serving our son juice...Maybe something laced with vinegar would'v
then I punched myself in the scrote to make sure it was still there. HAHAHA! So you're feeling like a girly counting all those calories? The whole thing sounds yummy to me. Hey, betcha can't top what I've been eating the last couple of days: entire pizzas and cheescakes. Don't even want to know
noticed several soldiers already crawled into the empty cups waiting for their beer. It was the middle of the day! HAHAHAHA! This whole thing is too funny! But eew...I pictured the slug massacre that you're cleaning up everyday...reminds me of some gross things I have to clean up around here o
...Oh crumbs...now I can't even find Kelly W's blog. I really want to get off this computer. It's hot in this room!!! Can anyone direct me to Kelly's page? *edit* I found it. kwhitten.joeuser.com. End of Angela's tangent. Now back to Cade
Howdy Tova... I've had back luck at the library lately, and am in need of a good bed-time read, away from the computer...I thought of you and Kelly W. who are writing some pretty interesting novels... So I came to your Cade chapters with the intention of printing them out and making a little book out of them. But since the JU "index" search is whacked, I've only been able to find 1&2, then 21 from your sidebar, and 24-25 by browsing
I just caught this thread so I'm glad I didn't have to sit in suspense for the photo. Tex, that's NOT a totally bad picture! It's REALLY NOT! I can sooooo top that hehe. I truly take dreadful photos, so I don't even try to look nice, it's no use. I mean it. Loving your sense of humor about everything, as always
Or write "I love you" in the snow How romantic. I for one, appreciate having someone around to open tight bottles for me...and reach things on high shelves...and do the housework that I don't feel like doing. Can you ask a sex toy to do all that??? <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" alig
Before my dad killed himself, I made sure he knew I loved him. I had no idea how sad he was though. I sure miss him...the "happy" him. I know what you mean wishing that I could talk to my dad just one last time I used to be able to pick up the phone and call my dad "just to talk." But after he died and that telephone urge set in again, that's
but I do believe you could earn a handy second income selling some of these tidbits to the right magazines. Hmmm...y'know... I quickly tired of reading parenting magazines because of the trendy writing...aimed at Who Exactly? Women who wish they carried name-brand purses and million dollar
Wow it feels like I've been away from Joe forever...but it's only been 4 days : : That indicates you will do very well. Not perfect, but very well. Ooh, a vote of confidence! I need it, thanks Dr Guy! <TABLE cellpaddi
My take on speeding, is that I do it when it's safe but then only when I have to. But in crowded traffic, even if I'm running late for an appt, I figure it's my own fault for running late, and I'm not going to make everyone else pay for my tardiness by driving like a lunatic. Nope, speed limits are there for a reason. I'll learn my lesson and leave the house earlier. Oh but one more thing, aren't a lot of speed limits arbitrary? I mean, why ar
Sally, you're a Q T Pie! Doc, just blame it on your mom; that's what my brother does, and rightfully so. And SC, when you came aboard JU I couldn't shake the image of you being some sort of Mexican...I guess it was the Hispanic nickname...but I eventually caught on that you're probably a blondie Trudy, I wish I could have been there with you in the olden-days! You had a fun youth. Here's me in 1982, in
How I spent my Saturday: We're utterly broke, but I wanted to be sure to catch the parade downtown which heralded in the annual State Fair downtown. It was free after all. We went for the sake of our son really. Believe me, if I were childless I'd be perfectly content to sit at home all day and play mindless computer games. Now with a thriving, active toddler
Congrats, BUT...did someone have an uh-oh? I ditto that Congratulations and the question. I mean if you're just NOW finding out...it means they had to finally tell the family because she's halfway through her pregnancy already, right? All that aside...A sincere Congratulations! And go for the s
So I'm filling out paperwork for my little 3-year-old to start preschool next month. WOO-HOO! In my idealistic mind I always thought I would homeschool him, but the reality is he needs a whole lot more than I can give him on my own. So it takes a village. I'm OK with that. In fact I'm ECSTATIC that he'll be branching out. He's a social creature and this will
I was going to make some inside-humor Mormon cracks at this, but your brother set me straight first. I dunno, do I sense some envy from you, even maybe just a little? The injustice of your immature companion getting married before you, Mohatma Ghandi! I remember being 22 and all of my Mormon friends were whining about how they wish they were married, or feeling over-th
No one thought to take a picture of mommy at Bayfest, so here's a recent picture of me I know what you mean, "Always the photographer, never the subject." That is unless you MAKE someone take the picture. That's how it goes around here. Looks like you guys had a blast! And you're a beautiful
On rotting teeth: It's been high time we break our toddler of his apple juice addiction. It wasn't hard to do...but it took me so long to put my foot down on the matter because 1) of my fear of incurring the wrath of my toddler (his wrath ain't a pretty thing); 2) the fear of causing him dehydration, especially now during the summertime. His lips
I've been known to dunk my french fries into ketchup. Isn't that scandlous? I knew a woman who'd dunk anything and everything. She was a little overweight and not happy about it, but she loved her food. She was embarrassed when her son dunked his PB&J sandwich into a glass of milk in front of me 'cause I guess I stared a little too long with wonderment. It broadened my perspectives!
You give me the crepes. Can I have some more please?
Yes, really what is up with that? I chose purple last time only because it was preferable to the other idiotic colors, none of which could possibly match any outfit Maybe wearing long sleeves would be the best answer until they get their act together and get some skin-toned bandages. <TD cl
The first one is very thoughtful and intospective and the second one is a bit more wild and, like you said, rough and tumble. Maybe the oldest child is timid because everything he's experiencing is for the first time, and mom & dad are going through it for the first time with him. Whereas the second
And one more thing. I laughed out loud at this one: If you are male and standing within 5 feet of a baby...you are a dad. (How's that for a paternity test?) If only things were that simple. HA!
She's 2 already?! Holy moley, time flies when it's someone else's kid He didn't know what a "dad" was till he was almost 2. He didn't know anyone who actually HAD a dad and thought that the computer's name was dad. That's eno
