Good morning ladies! MAS, sorry about Giles. Hope he feels better very soon.
So, our jellyb had a baby. Just saying.
You know you don't wear enough makeup when you go to work with tinted moisturizer and mascara and you get comments.
I think zero makeup is enough, pfft :-P
I'll feel bad for not wearing makeup to work when all the dudes I work with start wearing it
But yeah I would probably get comments if I was suddenly wearing even a little makeup
my godmother after seeing a bridesmaid pic of me w/makeup: You should wear makeup more often!
me: Do you know how long it took me to get that crap off?
Bah. So I know this is going to sound silly but I have arthritis in my toe. My big toe. So bad weather makes it act up. I don't understand why the weather does what it does but my toe suffers for it. Sometimes the only thing that helps is stretching my toes and flexing them. Well I did and my toe popped and it hurt like a mother! Like super painful thought my toe fell off or something. It wasn't even one of those "good" pops where you know it's going to hurt a bit but then you'll feel better. No. It just made it hurt worse and it sucked.

And props to ON for including a regular-colored TMNT PJ set in the girls' section!
Hugs and coffee to the sickies, and bananas and green beans to the poopers. I'm sorry you all had to get up to stinky surprises, but thanks for taking all the MOTN poopoo juju - L didn't even have a wake-up poop this morning! <:-P
I've only just skimmed, so sorry for all the things I'm skipping over!

Holy weekend. I cleaned so much this weekend and there are still more things to do. I thought about making a list of things that I did so that I could cross them all off, but that seemed like another task, so I skipped it. I might still do that later, though.
@stephyfaith - happy monday and happy spam cherry popping! Hope little A had a good night for you.
Hope Alex slept better with the humidifier, @fabk. Oh and I totally get you about the chair. We got the ikea Poang and there are many nights I regret not splurging for a nice LazyBoy.
Hugs @lizabethann06 - poor Jack and poor you! I suspect he will be banning you to the "barbage" again with all of those drops!
Look at that independence, @Rmnam1! So funny that she is rejecting the animal feet PJs. Maybe they itch?
Aww, the little barnacle @theuntaggablek :x Hope you were able to catch up on work (AND SLEEP!).
Happy trails as you travel, @hollandmama - have some more coffee ~O) this pot is amazing today.
That's too bad that you got a dud glider @Silv3rlining! Can you move the less comfy one to another bedroom? Guest room maybe?
@econmama - so sorry Cheetah's been sick. I tried to follow weekend spam, but didn't get to comment. So glad that she STTN for you guys!
@beckyanddon - we have one of those downstairs... getting it upstairs seems like a challenge, but some of those nights I think it would have been worth the hassle! I'll take another weekend day, too please
@juliedave151 I would do it for a few days and see if it is a real hassle or not. If it seems to go okay, I would do it. And I would do it for free. It's the neighborly thing to do. Doing it for free not only sets you up with someone to call in a favor with, but it takes the pressure off if you need to cancel or decide to change your mind.
Sounds like the press conference for the Michael Brown verdict will be held at 4pm CST.

The Rugrats Movie starts with Didi having a second baby shower. [-X
Maybe she declined at first and then someone insisted and so she had to accept.
Ah, so she's a special snowflake I see.
Well technically it would more rude to keep declining the shower if someone insisted on throwing one than to actually have one. So really it depends on the circumstances.
Like for instance, I was given a shower for Isaac at work. I made a point of telling people that he's my second and therefore I really don't need anything and was not expecting a shower. Then one day I came into the office and they surprised me with a shower. What then? Do I tell them no again? Of course not. You act gracious because they can spend their money however they want and if it's for a gift for my son then that's their choice. I declined at first and they insisted.
I got Silas some light up Tonka truck Stride Rites because Amazon had them for $15 and he is OBSESSED with them. He refuses to take them off and has been clomping around for a good hour even though they're currently still two sizes too big.

DD is joining the sick baby club. She woke with a runny nose and watery eye. She has been so clingy and then napped 2 1/2 hours. Her temp is now 99.6. I hope she is better for thanksgiving. I feel so bad she is not feeling well.
I tried to get Lucas to watch a Christmas movie to get in the holiday spirit, but we were not impressed with the selection on Netflix. So instead we watched Giada work miracles with Thanksgiving leftovers. My non-TV-watching child was elated.
@Encchanted I may have to take back my response to your post. Looks like he may be a boob man after all.
(And yep, still in PJs over here....)

@biggunsbo I'd do it for free because I'd feel bad charging. Now that I know more details and that she didn't actually ask for Julie to do dance, I feel differently.

@KateJuly2013 You would do it for free for the first couple of days? Or do you mean the whole time I'm watching her? Because now she has asked for me to take her to dance classes every Tuesday.
Originally I meant for free. However, sounds like maybe she plans on taking advantage of you a bit. In which case I wouldn't do it all, even for cash.
@lizabethann6 so sorry about all the sickies! That sounds terrible.
I officially have a four year old today, I can't believe it's been four years. We are driving to Nanas now for second birthday party. Ivy just told me "I almost puked, but then I tooted and it went back down" :-??
@KikiCohen Actually her daughter brought it up while we were walking home from the bus today. So I asked her mom through text and she said she needed someone to but didn't want to ask me. She said she only needs someone to drop her off because she should be home in time to get her.
Ah, I see. I guess I'd just tread lightly. I have been taken advantage of in the past so I guess I'm just overly skeptical of this type of situation.
