Question for the group: How long must one be married before you can bow out gracefully and without reprisal from such things???
My confession? I love this Civil War reenactment shit:) When you go, look for the ladies! They will be making civil war era food and demonstrating how clothing worked in the 1860's! (Lots of pins, and you only washed your hair in the summertime, and you held flowers all the time to hide bad breath because toothpaste didn't exist). Ask the re-enactors about mundane stuff like what do you do when you get your period, what pregnancy was like with corsets, etc. really, it's fascinating shit.
But! Even if I was not personally interested in the living history thing, I'd suggest you go, and ask your FIL all sorts of questions and suck up like you've never sucked up before and feign interest like this is the coolest shit ever. You will buy so much good will from FIL and DH that you might never have to do something you don't want to do with them ever again.
I have a good confession... I've only bumped for like a half hour today... I needed a productive day badly.
Anyway, so many of these were hilarious! Thanks for the laughs ladies. I'm definitely going to make a note of the meth mouth tip. Hahaha.
Also, @kbrands7... you only have ONE leftover Halloween candy per day? Ugh. I put my leftover Reese's in the freezer (yum) and I swear I have like 3-4 every night. It's bad. I would just throw them away, but I know I'll probably try to get them out of the garbage or something crazy.
Lol. The only reason I've been able to limit myself is that I need this candy to last me until Thanksgiving to preserve my sanity.
Ugh. I know it's not Friday anymore but update to my insurance troubles. Basically I suck at math. That $450 extra I said would happen if the midwife practice doesn't want to cooperate with me? Try $1250. I forgot to add in babies fees. The previous amount just seemed so perfect compared to the last one I didn't even think.
DH is going to freak out. He said he would call them and deal with this for me as I tend to get worked up, but I can't help but worry till he does that they're going to suck and not want to cooperate at all. So much for my stress free weekend. Again we have the money for it, but $1250 is A LOT of money I would rather not spend if I don't have to.
Re: FFFC 11/6
I dug a popcorn kernel out of my teeth this morning (it was stuck way down in my gums).
I haven't eaten popcorn since LAST Friday.
I love popcorn, but that's the worst!
I don't feel bad because she'd rather be at home with mommy anyway.
Edited because I wasn't finished yet. Okay, I'm done.

Also you might find that you enjoy it;)
