Does no one else have potty parties???!

I don't deny it I embrace. We dance our way into in the bathroom and the girls play while I potty, then V goes. Soon it will be M too and it will be awesome!

lol, for me, Mama's potty time is like 5 minutes I can just sit and NOT be in charge of another human being, just of my own bodily functions.

FFWC: I've never peed in front of DH.

Girlfriends, sure, whatever. But for some reason, I can't pee in front of DH or my Mom. I'm always amazed at couples who can just go to the bathroom in front of their spouses. FTR, we've been married for 6 years, together for almost 10 and have never farted in front of each other either. We both agreed there's just some stuff that's gross that we don't want to do in front of each other. DH's sisters fart & burp (loudly) all the time and it's just really weird.

Although we both laugh like 12 year old boys when Nancy farts and says "my butt?" like she can't figure out where it came from. It's hilarious.

Neither have I. Some things don't need to be shared.

I don't pee in front of DH either. We just like to keep the mystery in some things. However, the kids think my peeing is an invitation to start bringing me random objects: a stool, play phone, hairbrush, doll, whatever they can find. They just pile it in my lap. Thanks, that makes this so much easier.

Pokedot · May 2014

Well DH and I pee, fart and burp in front of eachother. Doesn't bother either one of us in the least. I don't do it in public just at home in case you were wondering. Ha!

melody921 · May 2014

It just struck me that in only FOUR months, I will have a 2-year-old. Where is this year going?

Random question, but how would you go about finding a financial planner? I am very financially minded, but I have to figure out how to get us through this time and what we can and can't do. And I would really like to lay it out for someone who can look at it objectively.

Call your bank. :-) Our credit union has a financial planner available (you have to make an appt) and I believe our Visa has financial planning over the phone for no additional fee.

I'd go by word of mouth. Do your coworkers (you trust), IL's, parents have someone to recommend? I personally think going off of someone's recommendation is much better than picking someone out of the yellow pages or google. Some do pay a charge to look at your finances like a lawyer would. My particular office does not.

PenelopePond · May 2014

Good thoughts for you @bosha711.

Sonic and Chick Fil A both do whip cream and a cherry on their shakes. They are the only places I've ever gotten shakes from. That's not normal?

Sean was so ready for a nap today that he went and stood by his crib and screamed. Sorry buddy, mama didn't realize it was nap time. #fail

My thyroid surgery is tomorrow. I can't eat or drink anything after midnight, so I'm pretty sure I'll be stuffing my face till 11:59.

I need to call Comcast & I'm procrastinating b/c I hate them so much.

Work is being so annoying b/c I'm trying to wrap things up before I'm off for a week, but I can't b/c people will not turn in the shit I need to finish my project. I just want to hurry up & finish so I can mentally check out already!!

Also, these daily posts are so long & it takes me all day to read through them. By then it's pointless to reply & then I feel like I wasted my time reading through it all. But yet, I do it every damn day. I am a slave to TB.

GL on your surgery! @bosha711 Sending good thoughts!

Indy and I discussed boobies last night. I tried to explain that we all have them, just different shapes and sizes. He is concerned because his aren't 'big like Mommies.'

Ethan is VERY excited for when his get big.

We have USAA and they will have you talk to a financial planner for free over the phone any time. I've also used someone at Merrill Lynch in the past too, since I had some mutual funds through them, but pretty much whoever holds your money/stocks/assets is a good place to start, esp if they'll talk to you for free over the phone/ without an appt.

watercolor5 · May 2014

I understand how you can not pee in front of your spouse, but I guess I don't understand how you can go 10 years without accidentally farting in front of one another. I mean, don't you ever get sick and not be able to help it? Or have a pregnancy fart out of nowhere?

I would love to never fart in front of DH, but we just share too much of our lives for it to not happen at some point or another...

FWIW, we also have an open door policy unless poop is involved.

I've had a couple of these conversations recently. Brody is very facinated with the fact that I wear underwear on my "tummy."

LOL, I told him,"If you work real hard, one day they just might be. Or at least as big as Dad's." DH didn't think that was funny.

@KellerPrag, my DH likes when I just pan fry or grill up the chicken breasts with seasoning or marinade, and then make some pasta with vegetables and a light sauce. I'll either make a brown butter balsamic sauce, or a lemony olive oil sauce, depending on what veggies are in there.. Monday we had chicken, yellow squash, broccoli pasta. :-) I make things like that at least once a week because it makes for good leftovers.

@MarisaKathleen, I'm going to need instructions....like now because this is what we are having for dinner. Oh my gosh my mouth is dying!

PenelopePond · May 2014

DH and I don't really fart in front of each other. Sure we've heard each other fart, but we don't do it on purpose. When I first met BIL and SIL, they'd walk up to each other and fart in their faces, talk about dutch ovens, and brag about their fart competitions. That totally grossed me out. I told DH no way. It's been almost ten years, and I'm still so very happy that we don't do those things.

We don't pee or poop in front of each other.

I would start with a place you already have an account with - checking/savings, retirement, insurance. They should offer a free session with a financial planner to help you get started.

My dog may be the worst guard dog ever.

We have some grey foxes that have made an appearance the last few nights, and she happened to be outside when she heard one of their weird laugh/barks. She ran inside with her tail between her legs, and hid in our bedroom.

Thanks Lucy.

While I love her name, I wonder if you made her fragile with a name like Lucy.

We found ours from the Dave Ramsey website. Ours has been awesome.

MarisaKathleen said:

Can anyone explain either of these to me:

1. Why in the hell does McDonalds put a cherry on top of their shakes now? I always forget to tell them no cherry and then wonder constantly who wants a cherry on their shake. It's not a sundae! It's a shake! you can't drink a cherry through a straw!

2. Is it extremely difficult for you to wash your hands at work and not get water all over the counter, sink and floor? I cannot for the life of me understand how my co-workers are incapable of keeping the water IN THE SINK or worse, why they can't wipe up after themselves. There's approximately 30ish people that use the same bathrooms in my wing. None of them appear to be slobs, but clearly one or more of them really are.

1. Kenleigh looks so forward to that cherry out of me and Zach's shakes.

2. People are slobs when it's not their house.

My dogs are way better guard dogs when there is a window between them and the outside world.

PenelopePond · May 2014

My brother posted on Facebook at a local (to him) jewelry store was advertising that their engagement rings were made in the United States and not China. Then he says "If that's not racist I don't know what is."

Umm. I wouldn't say that's racist at all.

Is it?

@bosha711 Good luck tomorrow!

I don't think so. I know a lot of people who are interested in buying more American made goods, but not because they have negative feelings about the Chinese.

Not at all. I think it's normal to advertise when your products are made here. I personally prefer things made in the USA, purely for quality. They just aren't always as affordable.

redneckmomma25 · May 2014

G didn't nap again today. Wtf kid? She screamed dada the entire way home from IL'S. Screamed and cried it. Ugh. He is working late again.

I love playing guess that sound with cars. I do it all the time in parking lots and such. I check tires too.

I do whatever in front of my husband. I don't care. He normally won't poop in front of me. He goes down stairs to his bathroom.

BeebopandBuddy · May 2014

Good luck @bosha711‌!

We have accidentally farted in front of each other and we usually just ignore it. I'm thankful for that.

redneckmomma25 · May 2014

@bper we had spiedies tonight

Yum! We had them last night. Hannah loves them...it may be the only thing she likes eating.

Flamingemu · May 2014

Gah! Whirlwind is right. I haven't been so busy at work in such a long time. I am trying to finish a big project tonight and we get audited next week. Hopefully after that things will settle down and I can breathe again.

Flamingemu · May 2014

We have a ton of veggies that needed using up tonight and tomorrow. DH cooked some chicken with tons of mushrooms, onions, & peppers with wine and cream of crap) L ate a whole plate full ad asked for more.

We haven't had cream of crap in a year or more. I forgot how yummy it made a meal. ha.

Newt69 · May 2014

I'm so over my kid not getting enough sleep. I wish I could rewind and sleep train him.

I have a review coming up at work and I'm so not prepared for it

Holly_1007 · May 2014

It's never too late to sleep train. Just a lot harder now than it might have been 9 months ago

DS just asked what my bra was the other day. I hesitated for a second & he said, "it's your underwear?", so I just rolled with that.

Then later in the day we were at Target passing by bras & he was like, "Hey! Mommy! That's your underwear!"

and thank you everyone for the good thoughts for tomorrow! I have to leave for the hospital at 5:30am. I just had a cup of coffee though & I'm sure I'll be regretting it shortly. Ah well. I will be sleeping enough tomorrow to make up for it I suppose!

miss50 · May 2014

@bosha711 thinking about you, still 5 days later!

@flamingemu what is this cream of crap you say? never, ever heard of it. it sounds craptastic.

Ha. Just cream of chicken/mushroom/whatever Campbell's soup. Cream of crap. It is not healthy, but we had a can from god knows when in the pantry so we used it. Yum.
