    My winter coat doesn't zip anymore either. I am so mad about it and I refuse to spend money on a new one so I walk around with it wide open. I have been meaning to go check out goodwill or Salvation Army but can you even wash a jacket? I always dry clean mine but that is like $20 to take it somewhere and I'm cheap.
    Yes, you can wash them. I wash my kids once a week.

    You have to be careful if it is a waterproof jacket, though.  If it has goretex on it you have to wash it in cold water and don't dry it.

    Once a week??!?! I can't even wash my own underwear once a week.
    LOL- They stink after a week of recess and playing outside every day. Sunday nights I do a load with their coats, snow pants, hats, gloves and scarves.

    Is it too early for an FFFC?
    I stop working after 4 tee hee.

    Me too! It's 4:15 and I'm on the couch already!
  • I keep feeling something bony poking out of my belly and it's kind of freaking me out.

  • I had the weirdest dream before I woke up from my nap. A zombie apocalypse was happening and I had to kill Keke Palmer.
  • I'm so frustrated right now..my DH missed promotion (and a massive pay raise) by 2 points this month. Can I go cry now?
  • Has anyone had something like a back "facial" done?  I really need someone to look at my back, it is so riddled with volcanoes and DH won't do it.

    You can totally wash a jacket! I used to even wash my down coat...I just washed on the hand wash/delicate cycle in cold water, then dried on low heat for 2 cycles to fluff it up.

    Of course, if it says "dry clean only", you'll want to ignore what I just said. :)

    Fellow SAHMs- this is a good read! I feel like this sometimes.

    NOOOOOOOooooo!!  omg, that is so frustrating to miss it by so little.  Yes, go cry, but not in front of DH because I am sure he feels shitty enough about it.

    Thanks :) I hate the military some (most) days. This now makes 11 months waiting for the magic computer system to decide he gets promoted, doesn't matter that he's been doing the job for a year now. I'm going to go bake a cake now to drown my sorrows in..

    @BiggerinRealLife it isn't that uncommon for LBs to put your SN in the title, it makes sense.

    See, and now my noob is showing. Don't mind me, everybody!

    Some lady who is trying to sell something to my office something came in and told me my face has gained weight.  Ummm.... Thanks?  I am blown away.  Torn between a TP or a cry (even though I don't care that much).

    Edit: missing words

  • @Mamamonzo I hope your baby stays put until April.
  • @BiggerinRealLife I didn't think your post was snippy at all. :) I think it's pretty much the same thing as when all the anatomy scans were happening, and some of us may or may not have cared as much if so-and-so was having a boy or girl because they're not an active participant of the board. Having a group weekly announcement helped with that a lot since you could check for the name, find their comment and love and reply to the comment, and now you're being proactive in making sure that doesn't happen when all of our little ones start arriving. Nothing wrong with that!

  • Has anyone had something like a back "facial" done?  I really need someone to look at my back, it is so riddled with volcanoes and DH won't do it.  

    Most spas can do exactly that - a back facial... They typically include an exfoliating scrub/wash, mask/peel, moisturization, neck and shoulder massage, and blackhead extractions. I've seen them on several spa menus when looking to book a spa treatment for myself. :) I hear they feel wonderful. :) Enjoy!

  • @LoriMc12 I wasn't trying to imply that I perceived her comment that way or that's what she meant. But when she said, "Can we come up with some kind of signal or something to let other RTT thread users know when it's us giving birth?" it just reminded of a few times when I've seen different statements made, like how @toothpastechica brought up that some people requested being an active RTTer as a requirement/preference for their LB. Not that I have a problem with how close everyone's been able to get by utilizing the somehow anonymous, yet conspicuous RTT. It's actually pretty impressive how easily it is to get away with casually talking about someone without them having any idea (ie sex swing thread).

    Good looking out!  I am going to have to do some research.  It's killing me.

    I think the person @jellysparkles wants to block posted in UO as usual. If it's who I think it is, it's a poster that usually has posts full of condemnation and rude remarks. She thinks she's right about everything.
    I wish I was smart enough to figure this out.
    Me too.  :-?

  • I'm so tired this week! I'm reading everything, saying hi!! And going to go hit up the UO to see what the heck is going on. Anyone else just dead tired?? When did this come back???

    I am! Some days it is literally a struggle to keep my eyes open.
