Could you move everything to next weekend? Like change the reservations for everything? That sucks so hard.
Who is from Dallas? I'll be there in February and I want to whore myself out for meet ups!
@KendraColeslaw and @AcaAwkward are from around that area. I'm about 5.5 hours away and could possibly come depending on when you're there! What will you be there for?

I'm on team hate the dogs. They always go nuts, either barking or loudly wrestling once I get the baby to sleep. They spend most of the day outside these days. The cats are nbd though.
I don't hate dogs. I actually love them waaaay too much. However, I hate how my dogs acts sometimes. For example.... Why the hell would you go flap your ears next to the baby while he's sleeping?!?!!?!
Totally agree with this. Love my dogs...but I would be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to punch them in their puppy faces sometimes. Seriously dog, I already fed you. Calm the F down. Stop jumping up and down on the hardwood. If you wake that baby you will be sorry....

I'll be there at the end of February for NCA Cheerleading Nationals. I get in Thursday, and that night or Friday would probably be my best bet. Saturday and Sunday will be crazy days for me.
I wish we never adopted our 2 younger cats. I love them but they are so incredibly needy and obnoxious. Yowling constantly and being crazy right next to the baby. My older cat just hangs out, she is nbd. We adopted the kittens for her since she was depressed because her bunny and kitten passed close to eachother. I only wanted to adopt one cat DH insisted on the other and now we can't rent anywhere with 3 cats.
Always say one cat that is what I have done for years when we had twin no one would rent to us with 3 cats and a dog. But nbd with one and one
Right now we are in my parents guest house and it's tiny. My one dog flaps his ears SO LOUDLY multiple times a night and it just echos in there. I'll love my two dogs again once we get our house, but right now it's hard living on top of each other, and then I have a long car ride with them and the boys, and then a hotel room until we get a house. And renting with a large dog is always so much harder. In 4 weeks, I'll love them again.
I'm going to look at houses in Jacksonville tomorrow!!! Going to look at some that @mamrotu73 found for us! My big sister (interior designer) is going with me. We will come back on Sunday and then Monday morning DH will be here!
@dani+california bummer man! Sounds like you had a fun night planned!
@joytomylifex I'm not far from Dallas either, but wouldn't be able to do a Friday. If the plans change let me know!
My child has been asleep for 2 hrs. I should probably get something accomplished for work but I napped with her for a little bit and she'll probably wake up before I'm finished.
DH vent: He's allowed to go on a fishing trip 4+ hours away, drink all night, sleep when he wants, then come home, but I can't get a massage, have $3 worth of food from taco bell, or do anything by myself. I do everything except go to work. All housework is mine along with dinner and the dog. He does nothing and I don't push him anymore, but he's being a fucking dick about everything lately because he's tired. I'm so fucking tired and I don't bitch as much as he does. I just want to do something for myself and I'm not allowed. Bullshit.
Okay I'm done! Hugs to everyone. Sorry @dani+california that your mom bailed. That stinks!
Jack just did his first bonafide roll!!!
First thing I did was take a picture. Then call my husband. Then post it here.
He was on his back on his tummy time mat and then I looked over and he was on his stomach arms out and head up!

Sounds like my husband- just because he gets home later than me doesn't excuse him from doing stuff around the house. On the weekends he will just take off to do whatever. I think this weekend I'm just going to leave without permission. Just because I have boobs doesn't mean I'm the sole parent! Also my hubby said I couldn't buy a new broom but he can spend whatever on cigars and other non essentials. Should we do a husband vent thread?!!!!?
Just GO, do it! Buy your broom, go for a massage. Don't ask, tell! Give your husbands a hearty punch in the face for me too while you're at it. I'm sorry you ladies have to deal with that!
Ugh I know I just need to do it.... I'm buying a broom on my home from work and then getting a massage (I've had a gift card for months....)
It's one thing to be on an austerity budget and consult each other for purchases.. But um, a broom is kind of essential. I think my DH would be more annoyed if we didn't have a broom than if I spent $10 on one.
I would take that broom and show my husband a thing or two if he tried pulling that shit on me... In fact not only should you get a massage, you should upgrade and get a facial as well!
We have a conversation and consult each other if I want to buy a car not if I want to buy some Taco Bell
September Siggy Challenge: What I Sing in the Shower: Little Mermaid "Part Of That World"
For what it's worth I didn't ask to buy a broom- I was sweeping and the floor got dirty as DH must have been sweeping up the garage with the same broom- I was frustrated and said "I'm going to run to Target quick and buy a new broom" to which he said "oh no you're not"' or something; then we got in an argument over spending then I just stayed home and didn't get the broom. Either way he can be a PIA.
I'll be in Dallas from February 26-March 2. We have competition Saturday and Sunday, but I believe on Friday all I have is one practice, and I don't know what time I'll be in Thursday. There is potential for Sat/Sun night, but I'd be pushing it because I believe we will be expected to go to the performances of all teams from my gym (which has 7 different locations aka million hour days for me).
Super far away, but we are making plans for the entire season now which made me think about it! I'll also be in So Cal a bunch, but that's not as much of a big trip for us obviously.
Papa Murphy's pizza is the deal! Both DH and I will get that over any pizza place in our town every single time. The chicken bacon artichoke is my favorite pizza ever in all the land of pizza goodness.
@mamrotu73 what is it with men and scissors?!? Mine also uses the kitchen knives to open packages! Gahhhh!! I will not even tell you that he puts it back in the knife block after using it too. Oh wait...
I am the asshole in this house that uses my husbands wustof kitchen scissors on packages and, well, everything.
September Siggy Challenge: What I Sing in the Shower: Little Mermaid "Part Of That World"
My husband steals my nice sewing/crafty scissors to cut open freeze pops, and then he leaves them sticky and nasty!
Mine knows the scissors would end up sticking out of his leg if those scissors ever got used on anything but fabric, and he just read these responses about transgressions with sewing scissors and confirmed that "even I know better than that!"
Craft scissors don't leave the craft room because DH cannot be trusted but the one thing he knows I'll beat him for is using a metal fork in the Calphalon pans. That's serious business in our house.
Hi RTT :-h I've been lurking this thread for a while and thought maybe it was time to jump in.
My RT... My son can sense my relaxation. Especially in his sleep. It's like a sick 6th sense. It never fails: I sit down and BAM he's awake. "No mama! No relax for you!"
Edit: oops! Wrong smiley face! ">
Welcome out of the shadows!
Jack does the same thing but it's when I try to make a sandwich or pick up my fork. No wonder I've lost the baby weight! I'm going to try to eat lunch now because he just went down for his afternoon nap. I'll let you know if I successfully get food into my mouth...

Samesies! I know the wustof scissors are nice, but I use them to open everything.

I'm a dumbass because at one point I thought it would be a good idea to use my fabric scissors as wire cutters and now I can't start my Halloween costume until I buy a new pair. Sometimes I use our steak knives to open boxes when I'm feeling lazy. There is really no excuse for this as there are box cutters and wire cutters in the garage.
Dear exchange buddy, this weekend is devoted to perfecting your box. I've purchased most of its contents and plan to add finishing touched throughg the duration of my weekend. I'll ship it out Monday during my break :-)
Its election day here and I have voted, yay me! now I can piss and moan about how crap the government is if it doesn't change!
On another note, home from our disastrous trip. DD has bounced right back to her usual self, thank god! She seems a little sleepier than usual but no complaints about that!
Knitters: I used to knit but haven't for YEARS! its something I keep thinking I would like to take up again but haven't gotten around to yet! Since my cross-stitch is languishing in the corner of the lounge since DD was born, I miss crafts!
I'm the shocking one who uses my embroidery scissors to cut my nails. Since they are rubbish anyway and I want to buy a new pair I don't mind atm but will be upgrading once I can craft again.

I'm having this problem with my broom... seems to be haunted.
And to add, my dog is also a dick. Ear flapping by sleeping baby, pawing him while I nurse, and last weekend, because I didn't let him out at right at 6am but instead gave the baby attention, he went into the living room and unloaded his bladder on 4 different surfaces and pooped in as many spots, and then laid in the middle, just waiting for me to discover him...
Total dick move, dog. *This is the same dog who likes to wank off on our bed.
