I just spent the past two hours, yep TWO HOURS, on the phone with Verizon talking about their terrible service. We have these bouts of inexplicable slow internet and dropped calls about every six months. We are breaking up this time.

Blood is still boiling. I am a generally easygoing person but their customer "service" makes me want to stab someone's eyes out. It's no wonder people don't report problems more often.

I hate monopolies.

Agreed! St. Louis meet up?! :-) I'll actually be in St. Louis with DH and LO in September and October...would be cool to have a mid-west GTG. :-)

I wasn't planning on a big birthday party at all, but when I sat down to write out the guest list, it was close to 30 people. We were planning to just do it at our house; but we only have one bathroom and I feel like that could be a problem, even if not everyone comes. I really don't want to rent a space or make a big to-do. Ahh tough decisions.

We gave Lillie a baby doll for her birthday yesterday because her teachers at school keep telling us how much she loves the babies in the classroom.  As soon as she saw it she lit up and couldn't wait to get her hands on it.  Too stinking cute!

So I put the doll in her bed with her last night when she went to sleep.  I heard her crying around 4 this morning but it only lasted a minute or two.  I looked at her on the monitor to see if she had gone back to sleep and I see her sitting up in bed mothering her baby doll.  She was stroking it's head, then grabbed a blanket and "wrapped" it up, then picked it up again and patted it on the tummy for a minute.  I was watching and dying of the cuteness.  She is such a little mama!  After having a boy it's really fun to compare the differences and see their personalities at such a young age.  I hope one day when she's a mom I can show her these pictures and tell her on her first birthday she was awake in the night taking care of her baby.  :x :x :x

That is flipping adorable!

@KikiCohen Congratulations!!

@lizabethann06 I just chuckled out loud over the “it’s like you’re not even trying” one.

@DenverBride2005 Happy Birthday!  Yay for the long sleep!!

@fabk I think I’d just use the main room too.  I’d worry if lo was in the cabin too.

@chunkymonkeylvr So sorry about the lice.  I hope they go away quickly!

@etoille Poor Pants!  I hope he feels better soon!

@valstulas I agree with @somerandomchick.  I’d start beating your coworker….  Hugs to you and Owen.

@KKinATX OMG!  Too. Much. Cuteness.

@JStahl678 I hope Jackson feels better soon!

I am so ready to go home, but we aren’t leaving until tomorrow.  Ugh.  Last night I spent a while going through FB and trying to “friend” everyone I could find.  I know I’m missing people though…

It makes me so happy seeing all the cute birthday presents and happy birthday babies. Only a few more weeks for mine, and I still haven't sent out invites yet #-o

I'm feeling like quite the domestic diva today...between belated spring cleaning and two batches of homemade mixed berry jam (thank you neighbors for bringing by fresh fruit!), I've been busy. Anyone want some freezer jam?

Woohoo!  <:-P @martyn17 What's the paper on?

Thanks!
It's on monitoring and evaluation of trafficking in persons and health, from a gender perspective. Fun times...

Ugh. A lady just came in from the Boys and Girls club to talk about doing children's lessons for crochet. She was dressed in a plaid lumberjack onsie with a jacket over it. What the hell, lady!?!! I mean, wearing yoga pants is one thing but a freaking flannel onesie is quite another.

And I can't get to the barf emoticon on my damn phone.

*BARF*

thegoodpotato

Yes. Very much like that. Except she was a dumpy old lady in her late 40s. Gross.

@KMRR86‌ will know which one I saw. They sell them at that 'Canadiana wear' store in Woodgrove.

She should never leave the house like that again.

Shut. Up. I thought "I wonder if it was like theones at that store in woodgrove". LOL. They only sell pajamas. No. Just no. Go home and put some clothes on!!!!

Liam has HMF. And his big bday party is tomorrow . I feel so bad for him.

Eta: not that he cares about the party, just hate seeing him in pain.

The top heating element in our oven isnt working

Ooh @NKaeding‌ sorry bout the bath poop--LO has done that twice now, but DS1 never did it so it was new to me this time around!

...and this came in the mail today! I love it! But how do I/we have an almost one year old?? (

thegoodpotato

@NKaeding‌ love tit because that made me laugh sooooo hard.

martyn17

@nkaeding sorry... We've had a few of those and to my delight they have all been on DH's watch

ashie624

Zoe has pooped in the tub a lot lately. She did it last night while standing. She was taking her wash cloth and whipping it so the water would splash me and she thought it was hysterical. Seems anytime she laughs a lot in the tub, she poops.

So G LOVES playin with our keys and has a mental breakdown when we take them away. Yesterday while I was cooking he was eyeing up the tsp measuring set on a ring that I was using. I handed it over and it's the new favorite toy. Good thing we have a few sets!

I don't know @thegoodpotato‌ . if you could teach her to make a crochet version of that outfit, while hideous, you could probably sell a lot of yarn. )

Oh so much this. How did our list grow so long? My consolation is that only 50% will probably show up because it'll be in August

G will give me kisses. DH tries so hard to get G to kiss him but he won't. Pretty sure it's because of his big mustache. It goes up the nose sometimes and tickles. :-$

I don't think I would want my yarn abused that way.

@mermomo5‌ I almost felt like you today. I had my almost 3 month old nephew, 3 year old niece, 4.5 year old nephew and Ben in my charge. Only for ten minutes at Barnes and Noble while my sister ran an errand sans kids. OMG, I could never have four kids. I can't even imagine five.

@thegoodpotato, I wanted to write on FB that that is what you get for living in Canada, but I didn't want to look mean with my real name attached. 

@KKinATX Lillie is so cute! I love that she loves babies.  Elizabeth loves the baby dolls at school, too.  She will start playing with them when I drop her off and still be playing with them when I pick her up.

I had a great time meeting @merc5411 today! She and Aiden are lovely.  Elizabeth was happy he shared his yogurt drops and puffs...she is always willing to eat other babies' food.

I would never think you're mean, @LadyBlue07‌.

But some of my friends might.

ashie624

My cousin had this in her bathroom. I'd burn the house down. Screw that!

ashie624

And my friend had this in her shed. Her fiance got bit by one.


Ugh!!!! I hate spiders.

thegoodpotato

@ashie624‌ are you trying to kill me?? :-&

ashie624

@thegoodpotato‌ I thought my friend was trying to kill me...she posted a few pics of this and so did her fiance. Them I killed a spider in my bathroom last night and today I see the pic my cousin posted. Too many spiders!!

And my cousin is pregnant due July 15th. Shes surprised she didnt go into labor trying to kill it. She was trying to make sure it didnt go back into the shower where her daughter was.
