I hate when people copy and paste stuff to the "Sam's Fan's" facebook wall. You know, the stuff that's basically today's equivalent to chain mail. Or when they post links. (Not about other cancer kids, I'm okay with that..) But like, "Your son is so cute! Check out my blog!". I delete some of them. :P
Re: FFFC
Nothing flameful about that! I actually think it's really crappy of them to do it in the first place.
Mine and hopefully I'll think of something better because this is lame:
I've had caffeine just about every day this pregnancy. Not a ton but a cup of coffee or a can of soda. I cut it out almost completely in first tri with DS and then only sporadically afterward, but this time I'm just dragging without it.
I watched my cousin's LO throughout the last 18 months because he is a loser and the mother is in nursing school. I really didn't like it and mentally it took a toll.
I've had few weeks off, which has been great, but now I have him again this morning while she is interviewing for a position. It's only for a few hours but I already want him to leave. I really like the kid and do feel connected to him because I've watched him since he was a baby but I guess I'm just not babysitter material now that I have my own LO's.
I don't blame you at all! I watched a friend's kid during the day last summer (for two weeks) and I cried almost everyday. I have a needy kid... I know that but this kid was even MORE needy and was NOT the same kid around his momma. I love being around him now WHEN SHE IS AROUND, but DH told her that I can't watch him longterm like that. It was just really really bad for me and our family.
Cassie- I would do that too.
My FFFC isn't even flamable, but I am super nervous about lying to everyone tonight at Girl's Night Out about why I'm not having margaritas with them. I'm planning to just order water or tea and if anyone asks, I'll say I'm taking an allergy medicine that makes my nervous to drink with it.
These girls would call me on it though, and I'm terrified that I'm going to start giggling and spill the beans even though I've not even gone to the dr yet!

After multiple m/c's, a MTHFR diagnosis and the Lord calling both of our hearts in the same direction, we're adopting!

I am the WORST. I wouldn't be able to hide my smile and if it were me I'd have to cancel. :P
@ Cassie - I'm with you.
@JWP - Can you get there early and order a virgin margarita?
My FFFC: Yesterday I passed a group of teenage girls in a store parking lot washing cars to benefit breast cancer. They were wearing bikini tops and short shorts. It irked me that they weren't really setting a great example on the danger of skin cancer.
JWP - I like the idea of getting their early and ordering a virgin daiquiri. Maybe even talking to the bartender/ waitress and getting them to bring you another virgin when you run out without having to say it. If not - you're not supposed to drink on most antibiotics. It can mess up their effectiveness.
They may have been slathered up in sunblock though ... giving the benefit of the doubt!
I love my nephew, but my sister is turning him into a horrid brat. He watches adult Tv shows with her for 4-5 hours per day, she laughs when he hits her and says, "Stooop!" In a whiny voice, and when he is really acting up she says to him, "Who's kid is this?" and locks herself in her room or ignores him when he's on a rampage while she's too busy texting.
The poor baby [2 1/2] is bored! It's just the two of them cooped up indoors all day until grandma gets home and takes him outside to play. [She's a teen mom and lives with my parents.]
I really try not to judge people with their parenting style, but when it's a lack of parenting.. ugh.. I just can't help but feel bad for the kid.
I sure hope so but even if they did, standing in a parking lot for the entire day is not exactly the best place to avoid sun exposure. My issue is more with the cancer aspect - practice what you preach. If they were fundraising for a shelter or a food bank I dont think I would have even noticed that they were scantily clad in the full sun.
My LO came early and she had this adorable little white fuzz on her ears... I was bummed when it all fell off. We said she had furry hobbit ears, ha.
ds is driving me crazy today! i love him dearly but good lord i'm about to kill this child! if he kicks or knees me one more time i'm going to go bananas! (he's not purposly kicking or hitting me, but he keeps kicking me or kneeing me while attempting to climb on any given thing and it hurts!! but he won't stop!) ahhh!!! it's days like this that i really wonder how i'm going to handle 2 kids.
and dh is getting of work late.... super! and my gpa keeps coming over, which is cool and all, but it's like having another kid around lol. and he's driving me crazy too!
After 2 months of working in a bridal shop, I think have more scary bride/psycho mother of the bride/ugly bridesmaid dresses/I can't believe she did that! stories than you can find on the knot in a year.
Oh, if I only had the time to type up half the shennaningans we've dealt with lately...
Ooh! You should start an anonymous blog!
