Honestly, I don't mind actually washing and drying and then folding the clothes. It's kind of therapeutic but I'll be damned if ANYONE actually enjoys putting clothes away. It's not possible to enjoy that :P
Somehow I manage to always pay our home insurance even though the mortgage company pays it. We just have so many bills between business and personal that I don't always read them before I pay. I just go to bill pay and put the amount in and push send. It usually works well.
I just got a check back from the insurance company and now I'm richer
@squirmworms T has a big belly and long legs, and she tends to be around 70th percentile for both length and weight. Right now she wears 18 mos pretty comfortably but most 24 mos/2T tops don't look too big on her.
She has a 2T denim shirt that looks so cool and slouchy-hipster. I love it
:x
Big hugs to your friend. That is so much to have to go through.

@altima80 I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure your family understands. How are you feeling? It's pathetic that we have not had a gtg... Must rectify soon. Park play date?
Boring day here, let's hope! It's already been a doozy of a week.
Thanks! I'm feeling fine. I know, we need a playdate! I'm up for a park anywhere. This weekend might be a little hectic but maybe next?

I used this as my base idea and did some of my own creation as well. The one for Alex is similar to this one, the one for my nephew looks like an english bull dog (his pet). I love this girls site! She has some great patterns and tutorials!
@mermomo5 go for it! then send us pics of the folding results :P
@haddocky I also enjoy doing laundry, extending and folding clothes (our dryer has been broken for the last 5 months and I haven't repaired it because all my house smells amazing when I extend the clothes to dry!!)

@altima80 I'm so sorry. I'm glad you were able to be there with her last month.
@mrads I hope Ben starts feeling better very soon.
@haddocky you'll be surprised how much you are able to give to each kid and how much your heart grows to allow both as your favorite person ever. You really can love another kid just as much as your first and seeing them playing together will make you love both even more than before.
I need to talk Gone Girl. Who here has read it and wants to talk about it via large group PM? I'm not done. I'm only a third through but I need to start talking.
I'm wearing maternity pants to work today. I also have big hair because I let it go curly today and it's down. I'm regretting this decision already.
NKOTB is stuck in my head today. This is not a bad thing. Please don't go girrrrrlllllll!

:-O There are some seriously awesome patterns!
I started following her on fb because I love her ideas. I want to do the reindeer hats next!
And thank you for the kind words. Ben has thrown up two more times. I think watching him cry while projectile vomiting is one of the saddest things I've bet seen. But he isn't lethargic and he doesn't have a fever, so I think we are just dealing with a stomach bug.
I never get headaches, like never. I got a slight headache occasionally during 1st tri but I can probably count on one hand the number of true headaches I've had in my entire life. I'm counting todays headache, it sucks. I don't even get hungover headaches so when I get a true headache I'm all like "what's wrong, am I dying... I need to go get a brain scan" hypochondriac much?
@MRads, your poor baby! I hope he gets better soon!
I'm sorry to hear about your H's grandmother, @altima80. I'm glad you were able to see her at her birthday party!
I was lucky to not have any nausea when I was pregnant with Jackson, but it's definitely kicked in this time. I've been queasy the past few days and almost all food is yucky to me at the moment. My MIL is in town today and wants to take us to a belated birthday dinner for DH. We are going to a restaurant that is known for serving exotic meat/wild game and I don't know how I'm going to stomach it. I don't want to tell MIL our news until after our ultrasound, but I'm sure she's going to know something's up when I'm not drinking and barely eating dinner. :-&

This Ottawa situation is crazy and scary. Who wants to hurt the Canadians? They are seriously like the nicest, friendliest country in the world. My thoughts are with all the wounded and their families. So sad.
Goddam Divvy bikers. *shakes fist*. The bank of them right near me mysteriously disappeared about a month ago (SWEEEET) and I've been less terrified as a pedestrian since :-bd

I have a friend like that! She went to the er a few months ago for a headache because she was convinced she was dying. She made them run tests and take blood. I was texting her the entire time. She didn't even take a Tylenol or anything first to make it go away! She didn't have insurance at the time.

Seriously. This is only days after a home grown terrorist killed one soldier and injured another in Quebec. So freaking crazy. I don't like this one bit. Not one bit! Fyi @missymr checked in on fb for those unaware. She is good.
I miss good soup. When I lived in Utah there was a cafe that had amazing soups. So many to choose from and within walking distance of my office. I miss the Wisconsin Cauliflower. Soooo yummy. I miss soup.
@andrea0418 why the heck wouldn't she take something beforehand? I took 3 ibuprofen!
That's what I kept asking her. Basically making fun of her. I asked if she took anything, tried laying down in a dark quiet place, drinking more fluids.... Nope she just went to the er?!
Cold, rainy days make me miss Chicago.
There is this amazing restaurant called Soupbox that does 30 soups a day. So tasty.
My fave was 1/2 lobster bisque, 1/2 clam chowder.

If you had literally never had a headache, and suddenly got a bad one, I can imagine freaking out. But I imagine your friend has at least *heard* of a headache, and could probably figure out that's what the deal was.
I considered making soup recently, but then I'd have to get a ladder to get the blender or food processor down, make space for it, wash it, let it dry, get out the ladder, put it away... and I decided no, no soup.
Well, now I want soup. I was going to make @econmama's corn chowder this weekend and take it to my moms but I think I'm going to hold off until next week now... BECAUSE we apparently have a Thai place that just opened and we plan to order from there.
@picklex that's why I don't make creamy soups. All chowders over here. I keep telling DH that I'm going to make some taco soup soon. Super yummy and could easily be made vegetarian if you want the recipe.
DARN IT. WE are suppose to put laundry AWAY???... I think my laundry issues just became clear. . seriously though, laundry has taken over my house. It doesn't matter how many loads I do and put away - the husband, kids, and pets generate more than I can keep up with daily..
