@Missfunball I would asked your friend who exactly said what. If it was one of your friends I would prob just quit talking to them. If they didn't take up for me I might question them about it in a way that doesn't put them on the defensive.
he's a guy so he doesnt help me enough to narrow it down all he said is it wasn't the skinny one >.<
@futuremrstonyasmith Go to the knot page and to your settings. There is place now where you can change it and it will transfer over to here. I had my name from pre-marriage so it wasn't even my name anymore. I figured I would do something more anonymous just in case.
Edit: Go to my account on that page and then at the top there is an option to change my username
We're supposed to be hanging out with my MIL at her sister's right now. I'm feeding A in the car because I just don't want to be around people right now. Especially annoying ones.
A neighbor of ours bought a pool - one of those $300-400 ones you buy at Walmart. They set it up yesterday. And started filling it. It is soooo unbelievably un-level. I want to have optimal viewing when it collapses. There is more that a foot of depth between sides. Looks like this...
@DisneyAddict1 wow. Just wow. :-q That's a whole bunch of BSC. And tacky. Man-hope at least they had good food? I would not have been able to come up w a good comeback either-I would have been taken too much off-guard with that lovely gesture. Who the eff do some people think they are??? Same people who tell you what you should and should not eat when you're pregnant and same ones who just go up to you and touch your belly!
@caseinpoint When you changed yours I seriously wondered if it had been like that for awhile. I'm so not observant. Like how I didn't even notice when @CHPhotoMama changed hers. I just kept trying to tag her old name lol
Same here!
Similar name changes are fine with me. The changes to completely different names make me confused because I can never remember who was who.
@LakeCountryGal if he gets a fever or starts acting lethargic I'd call, otherwise I wouldn't worry! Probably a reaction to local irritants (like pollen).
I feel like we've been cheated out of a mini vacation.
DH was home in time for supper Saturday night. Home all day yesterday. He has to work today, then has tomorrow off for Canada day. And has Wednesday off for his usual day. If only he hadn't had to work today, we could have gone away for a few days.
(His employer doesn't allow you to take a single vacation day...boo...it must be an entire week)
Oh we'll, at least we got a lot accomplished over the weekend.
Name changers just don't change your avatars for awhile for us mobilers! @caseinpoint I'm so glad to hear about your supply increase! @Jt7dreamz hope you have a great vaca!! @laurstarx good luck to your friend! Car window shades are the worst!! We've tried tree different ones. None are big enough. They all fall down or look horrible. And LO freaks out about sun in her eyes. The sun always finds a way to sneak in!!
@bjd316 Have you tried tomato juice? It seems to help with the smell better than anything else I've tried. Although, I heard using vinegar works too, but thankfully the dogs stopped killing skunks and I haven't had the "opportunity" to use it.
I was reading I'll Love You Forever to Layla yesterday. I've never really read it the whole way through before. And all I could think about while I was reading it was what was the husband's wife thinking of her MIL?
And I could picture @chphotomama (I decided it had to be you since you won the crazy MIL lottery) coming on here to bitch about her crazy MIL sneaking into her house to rock her husband back and forth and sing him a song.
That book is so creepy. MIL gave it to DH after we found out we were having a boy. I read it once and threw it away.
That book was written for a child the author lost either still born or right after birth. Knowing that makes it not creepy for me. Here is what he has to say about the book on his website:
Love You Forever started as a song.
“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always, as long as I’m living my baby you’ll be.”
I made that up after my wife and I had two babies born dead. The song was my song to my dead babies. For a long time I had it in my head and I couldn’t even sing it because every time I tried to sing it I cried. It was very strange having a song in my head that I couldn’t sing.
For a long time it was just a song but one day, while telling stories at a big theatre at the University of Guelph, it occurred to me that I might be able to make a story around the song.
Out popped Love You Forever, pretty much the way it is in the book.
My regular publisher felt that it was not really a kid’s book and I ended up doing it with another publisher.
One day the publisher called up and said “This is very strange. It is selling very well in retirement communities in Arizona. It is selling in retirement communities where kids are illegal. This is supposed to be a children’s book. What is going on?”
“Grownups are buying it for grownups!”
In fact, it turned out that parents buy it for grandparents and grandparents buy it for parents and kids buy it for everybody and everybody buys it for kids.
As a matter of fact, everybody buys it for everybody. That’s why it sells a lot of copies. I think it’s my best book. So far it has sold about 15,000,000 copies.
Everybody makes up their own song for this book. I would like to put different versions of the song up on this site, now that the site has sound on it. If you send me your version, either as a tape or an audio file or a MR3 file, I will try to put it up in the LOVE YOU page. If lots of people send me their versions, I will not be able to put them all up, but I would like to hear them even if I can’t put them on the site.
The way I sing it in the story is just MY version. You are supposed to make up your own.

@bennieangel I get the WEIRDEST looks when I wear B. I wore her in my wrap at the mall yesterday and got so many stares. I just pretend they're all jealous that we are comfy and hands free while they push their giant strollers around

Ok I tried to catch up but it's hard! I did retail therapy to uplift my spirits and found an awesom cloth diaper deal on Craigslist. I had to drive a little ways away so we made it a family thing. I got 23 CDs for $75. Most unused and all are super cute prints. Anyways mh surprised me with a day out with the kids we had lunch at the beach and dinner out and some shopping before driving home. He planned the whole day and I had no idea it was a fun day and just what I needed to smile.
Thank you all for the support and kind words about my Dad
I am sorry for all of the ups and downs everyone is having. And all of the name changes are confusing me a little, the avatar pics changing are just mean!
@lincbeesmom - When I first signed up on The Bump, I didn't think I would be so involved and posting much. I am now slightly addicted to this board, and I really wish I had a scree name that didn't show my name. Also, I am always mobile, so I haven't changed my avatar to something specific yet.
I totes want to change mine! I just have no idea to what...
Also...we have a dead mouse somewhere in the walls of the guest bedroom/DH's office. Blah!!! This seems to happen about once a summer... Horrid stink for a couple weeks. Thankfully, it's not in the nursery! (Knock on wood!) I don't know what I would do- dh has "covered it up" with an air freshener, but I hate the smell of that also!

I just got the shivers thinking about that!!' Hope you guys get it out soon!
well, since it's happened before, and we've never seen a single bit of mouse evidence IN the house, we are pretty sure they live in the attic/walls. So, not much to do short of ripping your walls apart except just wait...for it to decompose... :-S
I'm SO behind on posts! Work is really busy now, my weekends have been crazy, and I'm so tired at night I can hardly focus my eyes. But, I'm lurking when I can and I miss being more active with you ladies.
@babycaps, my fingers, arms, legs, toes and eyes are crossed for you!!! Hoping, hoping, hoping!!!
@Jt7dreamz, That sucks, and I totally sympathize! My job expects overtime, and I'm just not doing it these days because I have to pick up LO. It's awkward and I feel like I'm short-changing everyone.
I think if many more people change their screen name we should have a thread just to let everyone else know your new name all kept together in one thread.
I'm having trouble keeping all the new names straight. I'm mobile 95% of the time, so I don't see signatures, and avatars are so tiny on my phone...

@caseinpoint that's great progress!
Can I have some ts&ps for my best friend today? She just got to the hospital to be induced at 41w3d. She's terrified!
DH was home in time for supper Saturday night. Home all day yesterday. He has to work today, then has tomorrow off for Canada day. And has Wednesday off for his usual day.

I changed my screen name because it was mine from the knot. Also it was the longest name on TB. And my names not Tony A. Smith haha
I kept my avatar pic the same though !
