I'm a huge fan of the sling carrier. I wore my 2nd one in the sling for about his first 4 months and then in the backpack a lot after that until he just got too heavy. I cooked, cleaned, shoveled snow, etc. Women have been wearing their babies and managing to get things done for as long as people have been around. Besides, th
I'm sure there are tons of products out there that can make you feeling & looking your very best again. But mainly I wanted to comment that YOUTH is beautiful in itself. I look back at pictures of myself from when I was around your age; I thought I was average, plain. But there is something about youth that just makes a person glow no matter how bad they think their complexion is, etc. And somehow from what I've read of you, you
buy him a gift or a card or balloons or call him "graduate" as we saw many parents doing with their Kindergarteners (usually parents where the K student was their oldest). Hmmm...I kinda wonder if I'm going to be one of those overly-ecstatic parents. I mean heck, every little thing about one's first chi
I love the Carpenters. That's some timeless stuff. So how did your performance go?
I would be glad to bring him over for lunch but that I'm not comfortable letting him go without me yet. Oh yeah, you're perfectly entitled to make that decision. In fact, as I was reading through your article I was thinking, "Well that's a hard one...I don't know what I would do." But there you came up
growing older IMO that is a perfectly rational fear. Especially if as one grows older and has achieved little to show for it. That is scary. Being an old, wrinkly 12-year old is how I often feel. Oh, here's another one of mine: Spiders. AAAAGGGGGHHHH!
You'd like Germany. Most public restrooms are attended by an elderly lady Hehe, yeah I just got back from living there for three years. One urgent trip to the loo cost me 2 Euro because I had to go too bad to make change first. Their restrooms with attendants were indeed clean, but is that what it takes
This is a topic that I get very heated about too. I have several random things to say on this: 1) I've heard that in female public restrooms, many women are germaphobic so don't sit on the seat, but hover instead. Then their germaphobia extends to not cleaning up their own mess when they're done. 2) On a personal note, (prepare for TMI), I've heard from a medical perspective that the female urethra cannot be sufficiently emptied unless the woman is sitting or fully bearing dow
Heights. That's a good one. It's odd that heights have never bothered me until fairly recently. I'm a pretty daring person, i'll jump off of stuff, climb stuff, eat stuff
My son snapped both bones in his forearm around 1 year old using the "Stand up Baby Ball Blaster" by Fisher Price. No way! We had that toy for awhile...It makes me wonder which version we had...the original or modified. Ours seemed safe enough...~Edit~ I just googled that toy and I found your story. Y
I have never thought of a baby as "another piece of baggage" so I can't relate to that mind set. Ooh yeah, I guess that came out a little harshly. Well heck sometimes when you just want to get things done but you can't because you have to take care of a baby first...well, sometimes that makes me wish
And it's things like this that make me never want to have kids ever in my life Yup, that's where I was at your age. Then...life happens and we deal with it.
Now that the sun is beginning to rise I feel safe to blog about my irrational fears. Since I often blog in the dead of night, my fears of the dark lead my mind to this topic a lot. Some of my fears include: 1) Opening a curtain to the outside only to find a dark figure standing RIGHT THERE looking in my face; 2) Walking by an open closet in
My husband is in the Air Force. I make fun of him (and them) a lot because when I was in the Army we had life a whole lot harder than they do. Had I done my homework however, I would have been wiser to join the Air Force, only because I would have appreciated the better treatment, nice leather sofas and 60" TVs that they all enjoy during their down time. And they've g
I felt this is worth capturing...For the last week or so I've felt definite movement down there. And it's not to be mistaken for the intestinal gurgles or the muscle spasms that I have all over my body. (As for muscle spasms, everyone knows what I'm talking about---right? Little painless twitches that make you pause for a billisecond and think, "Wow, that wa
I'm digging this article up from the past...but it's a timeless topic, right? There are two different types of "pretty boys"...1) the ones who know they're gorgeous; and 2) the ones who don't know they're gorgeous, or at least they don't act like they're God's gift to the earth. I don't mind the latter type. Not only are they easy on the eyes, but they're humble about it. Humility makes people all the more attracti
What a loving mommy you've got! That's what stood out to me as I read this. As for "fainting," you didn't use that word in your article, did you? Perhaps you were still asleep and your body was just telling you to LAY DOWN! But I agree, it is odd to have blackouts like that merely from lack of sleep. When I'm extremely sleep-deprived I get sort of...happy. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/JU/smiles/Smile.gif" border=0 ALIGN="ab
CPS was called on my brother when he was 2 or 3. He was always covered in big bruises and cuts. At this time we didn't have physical abuse at home. But CPS came in and wanted to interview my parents. My dad calmly said, "I think you need to see something first" and he called, "ADAM! Come downstairs!"*BANG* Thump Thump Thump (down
Yes I think Adventure Dude has it right. I believe those things too but it's entirely another thing to live by it. As for sex, it's a natural drive that when exercised in the right way, brings children...so joy in sex leads to joy in having (and spending tons of time with) children! It all sounds very idealistic, but life really can be that sweet and uncomplicated if we let it be (in a perfect world) <img src="../images/smiles/smile
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he had a girlfriend.
Genetics can be a bear, eh? Well at least you're taking good care of yourself. Let's not even think what life could be like if you weren't! And thank goodness for modern medicine, blood tests, and competent doctors who can guide you through a healthy life. I was attracted to the title of this article because my blood ran cold when my doctor called me one day~~ I've NEVER had a call from a doctor~~ and it's always a bad thing when they call,
I just think people don't always really listen. Especially when you are with a friend, and you presume you know everything there is to know about them. You can never know what is going on inside their heads though can you? Part of me thinks that it would be nice to point people in this direction, and give them a look into my mind. However scary that might be for them, heh
I made the mistake of telling my husband about your projects and how you like to surprise your husband with them. Hehe. I tell my husband about your amazing work too ...but thankfully he knows better than to expect such things from me. Heck, he wouldn't even tackle such projects himself. We just join
My husband & I woke up to a beautiful summer morning. He pointed out a rainbow in the sky. I don't think I've ever seen a rainbow at 6am. Truly beautiful. Sleeping next to my little boy all night (as usual because we like it that way), I'm appreciating these last fleeting months when he offers us the best of two worlds: we can still play with him, cuddle him,
I find it a bit sad you think this way, Angela. I don't think those who hold doors open are doing so because they believe the woman to be a 'helpless, feeble invalid' but just out of simple, decent courtesy. I guess it's at that awkward time of getting to know someone, that awkward silence while he makes a point to take the extra 15 seconds to g
