I just need mine to cut me some some slack today. Shes at that age, man oh man, where she just goes from one forbiden activity to the next, occupying herself only with something that is a big mess for me or she knows is off limits. So annoying. She waits too, for me to be pre-occupied with something and then goes for it. My new lipgloss, nine bucks has no top now, I went to pee and found tarot cards all over the place, she takes food itmes that we forget to not leave on the counter and bites into them in her bedroom, spits it out and leaves the pieces everywhere.--read more >>

I don't know if that was such a good idea, because I am now going to gain an easy twenty pounds. I told DH to hide it so I could have more for later, he went out to mow the lawn and I found them. The kids hate them (yes!!!!!) and I am 'bout to call every Mexican grocer in OR. Thanks!!! Is a good address to send you something as a thanks?
If anybody is reading this and would like to be cursed with a craving that parralels chocolate I am refrencing Mango+ chillipowder- Ohhhhhh Yummmm!

K1 was sick yesterday with a 10 hour or so tummy bug. Now K2 is puking . Does that mean that I should cancle a meetup with a new friend and her husband tomorow evening to go to a comedy club even if I am showing no symptoms and its just going to be the adults, no kids? Is it the right thing to do or is that just going overboard?

In a recent on line discussion about tv, you all remember the one, I think it was entitled, 'How much is too much?' refrencing television and kids, something one of you wrote pretty much changed my life. If I didn't have a teething nursing baby in my lap weilding a dreadlocked naked brats doll towrds my face, I'd be inclined to go search and give the proper gratitude, but you'll understand. Which ever mom made a point that I will never forget. All television is is commercials. Thirty minute commercials, hour long commercials, advirtising lifestyles and values, ect.--read more >>

I am really shocked by what I am left with. Not in a bad way, either. I feel like a diffrent woman, bigger in general. I swear crazy biological things happened. My feet are a size bigger, and wider. My hips widened so much that I know its not just a weight loss thing, its been three years and I am a D, I kept telling myself they would go back, but I think they are here to stay! I swear I feel like my legs for instance got huge, like a swimmers or a runners- is it from carrying all that baby weight for three years straight more or less?--read more >>

Sorry, but with the rave reviews this movie got, I was expecting lots more. Yes, on an entertaining level, I was able to stay with the movie. It was alot more intresting than a Jackie Chan flick. But as far as being realistic, it may have been a Jackie Chan flick. So if you havn't seen it and don't want the "plot" ruined, stop reading now.--read more >>

his sisters have never been immunized, but I decided to get his. So hes been very crabby and listless and clingy, but hes had a cold and hes teething and then he got his shots. The past two days have sucked hes just been so emotional and screams if hes not held.
Hes got HUGE golf ball sized lumps in his legs where the injections went. I am trying to find something on line and having no luck.
Is this normal?

Is it possible? Did you? I need to know. Renting a house for a family, might as well buy if they are in the neighborhood from 11-1400. Screw giving my money to the somebody who is putting a curfew on the garage and who won't replace the carpet after they promised. I don't know where to begin, but I need to.

fuck me.
so I am in the seperation process. part of me feels like cheering, part of me feels like sobbing.
why oh why are women so standoffish?
It seems like they all have these tight knit groups of friends, and theres no room for any others.
Theres always something about me that keeps them at bay.
Maybe I am an asshole.
I am so tired of feeling absoloutly alone. My best friend, goddess bless his ass is on the phone with me 24/hrs a day pretty much but soon my husband will be gone and here I will be, floating out in Portland no social life, just me and the kids.--read more >>

I told my houseguest don't ever bring anybody home. My bomb shelter apartment is way too small. I clean and clean and clean and it looks like I sit on the couch all day. My girls run around looking like Buckwheat half naked running through spilled chocolate milk and drawing all over the walls. we gave John the other bedroom, now we have a kingsized mattress in our living room because we gave the girls our room. There is no room to walk in this place. So what does this guy do?--read more >>

Every Sunday, they have the drumcircle/firedancer thing going on underneath a bridge and along the water front. It so neat. It stinks like patchouli and maryjane and all the neo hippies are all dancing and going crazy and their dogs and everybody is nice. So we go down there three kids and a drifter deep and the kids were dancing for a little while, but too soon they grew bored of it and wanted to run and climb things and we let them for the most part.--read more >>

here is my myspace page. I know I said I would *never* do that, I blame dragon chic. Anywho, looky to the right. I got this sweet layout, and I did what it said, but I can't shake the code. when i was typing it and what not there was a bar that popped up that warned me it may not appear right because of Activ X and that my security setting might be too high. Any suggestions from you left brained giants out there?

I want big fake porn star like titties, thats what I want, I want my post breastfeeding titties to look like I will never drown. I want you to tell I have a boob job undernearth a goddang snowsuit. I want my nipples to point to the sky:
Okay.
I had my moment, its over.
Mamas, mamas, mamas, I know you know how it goes:
You get a lil bit o money, more than you can save up and then something inevitably will go wrong, *cough* car, or my old man will be injured and not be able to work, or we get sued for giving somebody a dirty look.

what is everybody "working on"?
these are mine:
1.controling my eating. Emotional eating, binge eating, bored eating
2.I am trying to engage my children more. Sometimes I find it easier when they are content to just do my own thing. I have a three year old, I can strike up a converstaion with her whilst scrubbing the toilet, I can take the extra 15 minutes to let them help bake muffins
3.excercise can be a hobby. So what if its only twenty minutes a day- those twenty minutes add up to alot of hours by the end of the month--read more >>

we got two cats, from the same litter
they were both girls.
They were glued to eachother night and day, playing, wresteling, snuggeling up, ect.
then Susie grew a scrotum.
And they were still playing with one another, sleeping together even meowing for help when one was locked by accident in a diffrent room.
Susie, started to spray.
So we made the appointment and got Susie clipped.
He was gone from 9:00 to 2;00.--read more >>

I love baking bread, and I have some great recipes! My problem comes from slicing. The bread is delicious and has a great texture, but I would like to have sandwiches made out of my bread. I have a supposed bread slicing knife, but its either too thin or too thick or ends up tapered. Is there a certain breadslicer I could buy or any tricks you wise proffesionals have for me?
Much love !!!!!!!!!
