@beck12803  I hear you with the struggle, I feel like every other day DH and I are at each other's throats, but I also know we have a lot of OTHER things going on for us right now (besides having a surprise baby) that are adding to our stress. I sincerely hope you two can find your mellow and get things together.  Maybe just bang him and hope that maybe with some renewed intimacy you can find a clear space to talk? (I have been so not in the mood that DH will take anything at this point, poor guy) That actually worked for me about a week ago and we have really been able to get on the same page easier since.  If you can't just bang him maybe try reminding him that he is important right now too and if he needs to talk you are ready and willing to listen.  My DH was starting to feel like he was less important than the incoming bundle (not true at all!!).

@redbaramid, thanks but DH and I are pretty okay. I mean, I'm not super nice to him all the time right now. But this is our third one, so he knows how to take it now. ;-) But maybe @mbano can take your advice.

Good luck though!

RedBaramid

I am so pro at reading... thanks @beck12803

MBano

@redbaramid my issue is similar to yours. There are maaany other things going on and SO is just so fed up that he doesn't even want to be intimate. I have some plans for tonight, usually Friday nights, his kids stay with their mother, so maybe the alone time will benefit us...

I wasn't aware there were certain days for the ticker, so many apologies for getting overzealous in posting today, I seem to have a few more days to go. 

As computer savvy as I can be, I am also baffled by the due date spreadsheet, there is no allowance anywhere for me to add anything, for the 5 times I have tried.

I am officially a S14 failure, and I just started. Sad Panda

But I DID get my siggy to play along with my tweaks.

As far as the due date spreadsheet it was shut down for people to have access to change things because too many people were changing it to "their" settings and deleting things and people. It was a mess. So now all you have to do is leave a comment with what you want added/changed and it will be done.

Asshats. Ruining it for everyone.

 I shall comment then. Thank you!

I had the world's busiest day at work. Thank goodness it's over, here is my catch up:

This is for @yurizaba & @criscbish, with a side eye to @kateitho for her Mean Girls judging:

Sadly I forgot who mentioned Heathers but in solidarity, cause it's my fave:

@trombgirl you are not mean and neither is @carmstr4

Not touching labyrinth or being jealous of foster kids

Also, if anybody else tells me I'm too white to be a Mexican, I'm going to punch that person in the face...

This is me! My mom is white my dad is Hispanic. I tan very Nicely but when I haven't been in the sun I look soooo white , especially lately. Everyone is in shock when I say I'm half. My dad is short, fat, dark, with black hair as wih his entire family. I'm tall, thin, and white lol.

Well, both my mum and dad had green eyes, and were very pale, and they were both Mexican. The thing is that people believe many stereotypes are true. But (as every other country) citizenship doesn't come with an adscription to religion or race, and that seems difficult to understand to many.

I get this all.the.time.  People tell me I'm way too white/light haired to be Arab.  All I can say is, I look just like my mom, and she looks just like her mom?  We don't all look the same, yo.

I've never seen an episode of The Walking Dead.

And see! I melted. Norman Reedus completely does it for me - has since Boondock Saints. But I still haven't decided to actually sit down and watch the show.

I get this for being Panamanian. People tell me all the time I don't look the way I should... Well first off I didn't know I had to look a way, second I ask them how many Panamanians they know, because the answer is usually zero. There's only like 3 million in the world, and it's such a melting pot because of the canal.

@ flyawaycricket "wooo hooo panhandle!!!! where it's FL.. but not really! I just moved out of the panhandle sadly.. into the middle of nowhere GA. Have you ever been to Florabama? I went there quite a few times b/c it was so close to where I was living. It's an interesting crowd" ----------------------- Most accurate description of LA (lower Alabama) ever. I have been there... interesting is right! I went to a friend's LOs birthday party last weekend in Milligan, just a hop-skip-and jump away Edit: complete quote fail!

Hahaha.  I'm originally from South Central lower Alabama.  Now I live in South Florida.  The panhandle is much more "real FL" than it is down here.  

Panhandle, in the house!

I roll my eyes every time I see the "autumn baby" badges. If you child is due before September 21 you are having a summer baby.

First day of autumn is actually September 23rd this year. But I totally agree. Might be because I'm excited for a summer baby though!

F**k that. You know when summer ends? When I have to go back to teaching. And summer clearly begins on whatever day I get out of school this year.

Amen trebeck. Also, I live in the south. If the leaves are changing and football season has started.., it's fall .

Spring starts when it's 60 for a week straight. Summer starts may 22 cuz that's when I'm out of school . And winter is November because that's when it starts snowing.

The dates you are referencing are solstices and equinox, which Mother Nature frequently ignores because she doesn't give a fuck

it depends on how you're defining the seasons. I use the 'meterological seasons' to define my seasons. These go based on whole months.

" The three normally coldest months in the Northern Hemisphere are December, January, and February, and are called “meteorological winter”. The three normally warmest months are June, July, and August, and are called “meteorological summer”. “Meteorological spring” includes the months of March, April, and May, and “meteorological autumn” includes the months of September, October, and November."

Also in East Asia- Fall/Autumn starts around August 8. So it really depends on what you're using to define the seasons.

meh.. mostly jokes from pp's and me pointing out that your way of thinking isn't the only way of thinking. I really don't give a crap if my baby is considered a fall or summer baby... not enough to nitpick other people about it.

You so judgemental cricket. :P I think it's hilarious that I'm part of S14s 'mean girls' club. I'm the biggest dork on the planet and incredibly nice. Just goes to show how overly sensitive some of the people on this board are. Grow a brain people....and maybe a sense of humor to go with it.

I'm pissed that I got kicked from the group. Well fuck you all, I'm awesome!

MrsLaLaBug

I don't think it's a summer OR a fall baby. It's a hurricane season baby, bishes!

Not you of course, but anything else in general, ie failing S14.

Edited cause I didn't need no double quote. (But I always need a double negative)
