OMG @mightybee‌ we started with a yummy bread course with a chili butter, then this pork belly & fish dish, then roasted beet salad, then this amazing trout & Brussels sprout dish, then a pasta dish with a pulled goat meat sauce, then a goat belly dish, then a goat cheese plate and then an apple cobbler rule dish. I mean I've never spent so much on food but damnnnn it's worth it.

=P~

Someone needs to come remove this giant bag of chocolate from my house before I gain 400lbs.

Hope FK feels better soon @pippathegreat‌

@jfresh or @missmusic, can we pin chat stew to the top so it doesn't get pushed down? Or is that a terrible suggestion?

You can change the way you view TB by most recent activity I believe. I can't see it in mobile. But if you change it on your tablet (that's what I did) it sticks for mobile too. That way it's always at the top.

I haven't been on much it's been super busy around here.

Long story:
So today was supposed to be relaxing... H and Cooper were asleep in the living room. I ran outside to get my makeup so I could get ready for a group class bible meeting woman thing...anyways three steps outside (pouring down rain and thundering with lots of lightening, I have a towel on my head and a too small tank top so my belly is hanging out) I look down and a freaking skunk is right at my feet, tail up. So I run in to the rain screaming. I turn around and the f'ing skunk runs IN MY HOUSE where my family is fast asleep in the living room. I didn't know where inside it was or if it was right around the corner inside so I couldnt go in. I just started screaming and screaming trying to wake h up before the skunk got to him first. He doesn't answer so I start balling cause I'm scared and pregnant and emotional and there is a freaking skunk in the house. So h FINALLY wales up and he's like why are you yelling ??? I said THERES A FU**ING SKUNK IN THE HOUSE.
I run around to the other door after he threw me keys and I go inside to get Cooper while he looks for it
The damn skunk was in our spare bathroom where I'm keeping all of our new things for the new house and all the baby clothes. The skunk was nestled in behind all of my new things all we could see was the tail. ::: peta people stop reading;:: so h had to shoot it. In the house. So yea my WHOLE HOUSE STINKS. we can't stay there at all it's so so so so so bad.
When he got to it to pull it out it was dripping stinky oozey stuff every where.
So I'm stinky and traumatized and not happy.

Wow @lilahbean13‌ That was funny and awful at the same time! Lol.

lilahbean13

Lol yea it was terrible. I want to be at home in our own house but I can't even go there it's so bad. I am hoping that all the Google techniques I'm trying are working. H's truck got sprayed too so every where we go we stink. I'm over these skunks. They are EVERYWHERE!

pinkangelmoon

Ugh @lilahbean13‌ that is the worst smell ever! Sorry you had to go through that!

ThePinkSuperhero

@somethingclever You can do it!  I dream of someday doing the NYC marathon....even though I hate running, lol.... I was hoping to do all the qualifying races this year (2014) but I was waaaay overoptimistic that I could do that while pregnant.  There were a few races I signed up for and skipped "> My husband will never let me forget it, either.

We can't move on to the house for 416 weeks because they are still building it. If it still is unbearable this afternoon we will have to call a company to come out. I love my inlaws but I want to sleep in my own bed and at my own house.

I'm waiting outside of babies r us till they open so I can register for a shower that I am hesitant about. I never wanted to be the girl that had a shower for baby #2 but my polite decline was ignored and I will be having a shower. I do need some things in just scared that one will come

@Bliz1712‌ He needs a throat punch. Seriously. I would have smothered mine with a pillow. That sounds so stressful.

I agreed to see my sister today. God I'm a bundle of nerves. I haven't seen her in a year almost but she roped me in with texts (she's persistent) and now I have to see her and I'm torn. I go between I still hate you and I miss you. We'll see how this goes.

pinkangelmoon

@nesenotes‌ hugs and good luck! I hope it's good for both of you.

@lilahbean13‌ that's terrible!!!

@nesenotes‌ good luck and keep us posted!

lilahbean13

Good luck @nesenotes‌ !!

I went home and checked and the 20 bowls of vinegar are helping some. The house doesn't smell as slinky but it's still unbearable at this time. I'm having very bad luck.
Last week we were on the gator (side by side four wheeler) and I heard a noise (something hitting the windshield) and then I felt movement. Crazy movement. In. My. Hair.
I freaked out and started swatting and flipping my hair while hovering over Cooper who was in my lap and all I could here other than weird flapping noise in my ear from whatever was in my hair was H yell omg it's huge red bird.
Yes. A red bird flew into the windshield and then over and landed IN MY HAIR.
I AM HAVING TERRIBLE MOTHER NATURE LUCK!!!
What's next!!

Feeling sad tonight, damn you hormones. Why do babies get bigger? I want mine to be little forever (riiiight, because diapers and feeding nonstop are so fun). Maternity leave is flying by (

I'm so ready for this one to be born. I miss all of the terrible things that come with a newborn. Two weeks in to it I will be kicking myself for ever missing all the squirty diapers and feeding non stop I'm sure but right now I miss it. Either that or I'm just real tired of being pregnant

So it went ok. Very surface and fluffy. Emery fell fast and hard for her all over again which gives me mixed emotions. She kept telling her she missed her. She said it like 3 times before she even left. And then was screaming I miss you at the door when she did leave. I just hope I'm not making a mistake by reintroducing her. And I also really wonder how the hell Em remembers her. I didn't think their memory would go back almost a year this early so that's crazy.

So that's where I'm at. It was not too serious not to deep just easing into it. She is seeing a sponsor regularly and appears to be working her program and taking it seriously so that's a huge step in the right direction.

You know what sounds really, really good right now?  Coconut cream pie.  I'm pretty excited Kroger is 24 hours, and debating on how I'm going to word this request to DH....

You didn't send him to murder Kroger did you?!

@roo1582 good on you! My husband was joking about being a missionary in a foreign country like Uganda, and I said, great dear, I support your calling, but I'll be staying right here )

pinkangelmoon

@nesenotes aww I bet that's the hardest part...having Emery miss her. Maybe that will be her motivation to continue on the right path. 

@roo1582 that would be SO cool!  Weekend trips within Europe? Yes please!  I would love to do that - that is, as long as my parents move with us. They're a huge help with the kids and I couldn't imagine not having them around. But fun to dream about!

Were going to look at a rental property today and I pray it works out. We have to get out of this tiny backwards town ASAP. Were so miserable here. Im glad were "home" but this town fucking blows. Our biggest hurdle so far has been that we have a service dog. Even though he's registered and we have a prescription for him we actually had a guy refuse to show me a house because he doesn't allow pets. I called and reported him this morning to the Fair Housing corporation. That was a pain in the ass and not a happy way to spend my morning.

Double whammy of bad work-related news: they f*cked up my disability leave (6 weeks instead of 8 weeks), and, worse, they f*cked up my tuition exemption tax exemption, and my paycheck is all messed up! It's only being withheld so in theory I can get the cash back when I file, but I really could have used the cash now! Why do I feel like any time there's a chance for buerocracy to screw me over, it does?

Welp bedtime stories have come back to bite me in the ass. Narcissus likes to look at herself in the mirror. She turned to me and said I get scissors I cut my hair. I said no buddy, you don't cut hair only mommy can cut your hair.

And then I was racking my brain trying to figure out where she got that bright idea from... we read "if you give a mouse a cookie" almost daily. It's one of her faves. Darn book and their bad ideas!

@nesenotes maybe because Grandma did it she thinks anyone can..... Still pisses me off thinking about that for you!

I'm just happy I'm not the only one who finds Sid the Science Kid annoying @aimeefarrahfowler

pinkangelmoon

@origamimommy1023 that's kind of sad.  Is she a FTM?  I definitely wouldn't do the shower at home. Lunch, shopping and mani/pedis would be good.

pinkangelmoon

Also @origamimommy1023 , does she know what she's having? If she's having a girl you could make it a craft day to make bows and headbands.  Or some other fun pinterest project for the nursery. 

nesenotes

@origamimommy1023‌ that is so sad! I agree spa or craft day or anything to take her mind off the fact that no one is coming. Talk about a wake up call.

@mrsplaydoh‌ Buahahaha!

My kid has an amazing knack for falling asleep when it most screws my plans. He fell asleep@ 3 yesterday ( I had just gotten home from class) when I needed to go for a run and buy his costume fabric. And now when I have some work to do on campus he passes out 20 minutes from campus! Grrrrrr

Buzzfeed has informed me this year's high school freshman are the class of 2018, mostly born in the year 2000. Aka, the year I graduated high school. I am so so so so old. Holy hell.

My oldest joined the marines. He ships out in May. My baby girl starts high school next year. I feel ancient.

Just got him from a free gymboree class. M ran and said "no" for every song they wanted to sing, but he was great at paying attention when he was given directions to do something. What a weirdo.

What level did he do? E just started level 5 and it was waaaaay more fun for her. I almost dropped gymboree all together because she didn't seem to be into it. But she's really digging this new level. Less songs more interactive play.
