So question for all of my RT (random thread) ladies.
I'm planning on do a few printables for this LO's nursery. I'd like for them to quotes from various books, plays, poems etc. One I have picked is "May the odds be ever in your favor." Standing alone this sounds to me sweet like something similar to "May the wind be always at your back!" However, in context it's more like teenagers beating each other to death or otherwise causing brutal bloody endings.
Soooo, is it weird for me to put it in my child's nursery?

I like it, but it does seem a little weird to me for a nursery. We're doing a children's literature theme for the nursery and trying to figure out a quote to get embroidered on the back of the quilt we are having made for LO. DS's quilt has a Vonnegut quote about travel ("Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God." For a travel theme nursery) and it's been challenging to agree on something that seems as good for this one.

DH and I have been sharing one vehicle since January cuz his broke. And mine (that we were sharing) was FWD and a nightmare on the hills and snow. He bought a used ford escape 2 months ago, then I put my car on Craigslist and it finally sold after a month and a half. So we were back to sharing a car (his escape) while I looked for one. We were really picky cuz we wanted to pay cash but yet have a good reliable vehicle that's AWD for winter. In the past month, I've found 2 contenders (both subaru foresters) and when we went to look at each, we were literally a couple hours late, just sold. I was starting to get panicky that I wouldn't have a vehicle by the time this little guy shows up, when I came across a rav4 on Craigslist, everything we want AND under budget. We went yesterday and it was still there. IT'S MINE AND I AM SO HAPPY! So glad to both have 2 cars again and both be AWD.

I do love that! I want a sticker like that for my car!

@jessa8907‌ Just like that. The little fabric flap thing at the bottom of our chair will hide it.

So we didn't do laundry this past weekend like we usually do. And I ran out of my pregnancy approved undies... So I'm using some that cannot accommodate the increase of booty and it feels like I'm being choked at the waist... and I still have an hour of work left

helloblueeyes · May 2014

I can't stop staring at this. And it's freaking me out.

AHOLE boss got back from Ireland and gave me this for LO:
I am so confused. Isn't he AHOLE boss? I don't know how to process this.

Hmmm...he usually seems a-holish, but that bear is super cute! Maybe vacation did him some good?

I don't think it is wierd. Since there will be other sayings/lines in the nursery, it probably will not stand out.

I feel sad today. I just gave notice at the daycare my son has being going to since he was a baby. They just got a new manager and she won't take the twins part time, so rather than wasting the money for ds to go all summer, I'm pulling up him out in mid June. I feel like it is dumb to be sad, but I get teary eyed thinking about it. Stupid pregnancy hormones. I was thinking of bringing a treat on his last day, but we are essentially being kicked out because they won't take the babies, so I don't know. I know it's not his teachers fault. What would you guys do?

I'd bring a treat if you feel like you want to. It's sad yes, but policies are policies. They can't change them for one person or they'd have to to do it for everyone.

I got sad this morning too because we are pulling DD out while I am on mat leave. I'm scared she will be miserable because she will miss all of her friends. She's an extremely social child and I'm afraid that Momma and little brother or sister won't cut it. Hopefully neighbor kids will be home.

katnipeverclean · May 2014

OK y'all talked me out of it! No hunger games in the nursery. It is a little creepy.

I'd do it. I'm planning to put the first verse chorus of "You Are My Sunshine" up somewhere in the nursery. Have you seen the other verses of that song? It's super dark.

This line:

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;

I'm pretty sure I had a stalkery ex-boyfriend that said that once.

Dear Facebook friends (especially those of you that are members of my family):

I can see that you liked a page called Nude Selfies. I can see that you're commenting on pictures of half naked women with things like "holy shit".

Stop. I don't want to know these things about you. Especially when you're married and in your fifties and GROSS STOP.

Emilyfae · May 2014

There are these two little brown Thrushes building a nest in the eave of my back patio. I've named them Todd and Vi. I love them. I've been all alone in this new house for the past few weeks because of the AWESOME ARMY taking my husband away for training and other things all the time. I don't even have my cats who are still in my old location. I get to send for them soon. I only have a few things, everything else is in storage across the country. All I have are Todd and Vi building a nest for their baby birdies. It makes me extremely happy to provide a place for their new family.

I mean I'm not obsessed or anything I'm just bringing it full circle but this reminds me of the song The Hanging Tree from The Hunger Games.

I mean I may have read the books more than six times each. May have.

My stepdad made this mistake when he joined Facebook last year. All it took was one direct message to him explaining that Facebook was the opposite of private and that everyone could see him "liking" jiggly asses and boobies. He never responded to the fb message but I'm sure he got the point.

Yesterday DH noticed that a mole on my neck (which never sees the light of day because my hair is always down) has at some point become lumpy and weird looking. Now I'm super freaked out.

I don't even know what to do. Do I ask my primary care doctor what he thinks? Do I go to a dermatologist? Do I just keep an eye on it? ;A;

I messaged my primary care doctor for a referral, I've never been to a dermatologist before.

Even though my husband noticed how weird my mole suddenly looks, he says "It's probably nothing, you're overreacting"

mrscurlygurl · May 2014

A change in a mole's appearance is a major red flag though, so if he noticed it it's worth getting checked. I really need to see a dermatologist soon because it's been a long time. I've had way too many sunburns in my life to not worry a little about this kind of thing.

emineminem · May 2014

Well, weekend with the mother in law has commenced. She's already complained about the dog hair and temperature, and her little asshole dog has fleas and SCREAMS every time she leaves the room. Wish me patience and luck. It's freaking 86 degrees at 10:20pm and baby is kicking the shit out of my kidneys. Blaaaaah.

Do you all remember when you had a pea-sized bundle of love and hopes and dreams inside of you? Yeah, well now my pineapple/squash/head of lettuce has me on the twelve step program just to roll over in bed at night... 8 more weeks of this?...........

TugboatSheila · May 2014

Thank you for the mole talk

My back is a mole constellation and I can't see any of them to even know if they have changed. I need to see a derm too. Putting reminder in my phone now...

It definitely could be absolutely nothing, because DH has had a few moles like removed that ultimately turned out to be nothing... But changes in appearance and asymmetrical borders (lumpy and weird?) are big red flags that something could be wrong and you should definitely have it checked out, and sooner rather than later. I hope it's nothing!

DH and I watched Frozen last night. Way. Too. Much. Singing. How are we going to handle a girl?!

This happens with a boy too... My son loves that movie.

OK - first post in this thread after 5500, but I felt like this qualified - Carla from The Chew touched my bump last night, and I got to get a picture with her! My colleague took it so I don't have it yet, but I was so excited - she was so nice, and just as cool/beautiful in real life. She was just having a great time with everything at the event, even though she must have been exhausted.

It's definitely not the best. My son got it for his birthday, which I was pumped about. I was super disappointed. Stick with the classic princesses and in theory you should be ok. This advice is coming from a woman in a testosterone heavy home.

mrscurlygurl · May 2014

Car shopping sucks! Why the hell do small dealerships drive around the vehicles WE want to look at?!? There is one minivan that is 130 miles away that seems like a great deal...someone took it on vacation so they're supposed to call us on Monday O_o
Then we drove to a local place to look at something this morning (after I called the place last night) and someone had freaking driven it home! The guy there said it could arrive in 30 min. Um, no thanks you unprofessional weirdos. Then we drove to a 2nd place with a similar vehicle to the first this morning and while it was there it has too many red flags. One of the 2 DVD players doesn't work. The brake light and battery light would flash when accelerating and there was obvious water leakage from one of the windows. Frickin, freaking, frack!!!
Well, I'd been kinda snotty and rude at the first place this morning because I just couldn't believe we were dealing with a second place that was driving the vehicle around...but we decided to call again anyway, because it seems like a good deal and we need a vehicle. Had the guy bothered to come to work with it yet? No. Argh!
Sorry for the novel...needed to get it out.

We were excited to see it because so many people said it was awesome (don't let the lawyer and navy pilot titles fool you.. We love animated movies ;-)). We both just suffered through the whole thing wondering if we should just stop it. We also hated that ice monster. The snowman and the reindeer were funny though ;-)

BoraBoraBaby · May 2014

@TallMomma29‌ Agreed with the too much singing comment. I hate musicals for that very reason.

Unrelated- pregnancy brain moment: just said to DH "you're a bigger man than I am."

:-S

helloblueeyes · May 2014

I cannot wait for all this damn bruising to heal up. I am not okay with looking like a pregnant junkie.

Today's bed rest agenda... Watch child birthing classes online in case he comes before our classes in June. Hopefully it doesn't freak me the fuck out.

rattlecanqueen · May 2014

Doing everything in my power to avoid a phone call to the ob, and more likely land in l&d. The new meds aren't working anymore, and he feels low. Laying around and drowning myself, but it's not working well. Gonna give it until my next dose. This is getting ridiculous.

You and I can be paranoid together. I keep feeling like it's any time now. Hoping you can hold off longer. Are you contracting?
