"When the diaper is removed, any solids are shaken into the toilet. Then the diaper is hand scrubbed in the bathroom sink. If there are no solids, it is immediately rinsed. The wonderwash acts as the diaper pail until the end of the day when I wash the load. The wonderwash is perfect as it will do a small load. I hand wring diapers before hanging them to dry."

«Oldest ‹Older 1 – 200 of 312 Newer› Newest»AP- Thanks for that post. I think that sentence sums up who Emily is pretty well ;)
Reposting:
RiM- Laughter will prolong your life so you'd be taking care of your health by reading that blog :p
Repost--Corrine, I can't find the New or Lions one. What month?
I did read on her blog that she did alot of her laundry in the bathtub.
Sandy -- the New Or Lions post is in the January archives of the under 1000 brain cells blog.
Corinne - I wonder if all the eyerolling I'm doing will help my vision, too? lol. Seriously? He's in college of *any sort?
Sandy- Here's the link to the New Or Lions post:
http://under1000braincells.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-or-lions.html
It's awesome. You'll see.
RiM- I don't even know how he was accepted to college. A third grader writes better than he does. And has a more complex thought process.
Just watched that video and it grosses me out to think of regular clothing being washed in that thing, let alone shitty diapers. ::shudders::
I wouldn't know how to live without a washing machine.
That wonderwash thing grosses me out. Seriously.
Corinne, you don't need to be very smart to become a minister. Jake has stepsisters who are about 2 shade above retarded and I'm not saying that to be ugly. That's just how bad it is. All snark aside, their mom was a heavy drug user and the 3rd daughter, Jake's age, is no better. Of the older two, one works part time at McDonald's, has a baby out of wedlock and is just your stereotypical someone's baby mama on welfare. The other? Just finished Bible college to become a minister. She's obviously a more decent sort but it doesn't change the fact that she's as slow as her sisters. She just has better morals the one. I suspect Dan is much like her.
I think they should get a refund from Hooked On Phonics. It definitely did't work for him.
That is the best thing I have read, I mean have tried to read!
Him sur id colge materl!
(note to self: if you're going to call someone near-retarded, check your own damn spelling before hitting send.)
The fact that that man continues to breed and reproduce with that woman is a testament to his lack of intelligence. The writing just seals it.
AP -- You make a good point about not needing to be smart to be a minister. I give you my ex-FIL as Exhibit A. :-D
Morning all! Where is everybody this morning?
I slept in because I worked late and am a wuss. Just got to work about a half hour ago. I am boring today.
Okay, duh. I swear I'm not an idiot, but I looked at the times and thought they were last night, not today. That's twice in the last three days that Eastern time is confusing me. Lord have mercy. Someone tell me I'm too youn (44) for dementia.
Sandy- There are other gems from his blog on the under1000braincells.
This would be one: http://under1000braincells.blogspot.com/2010/01/speaking-in-tongs.html
It's pathetic.
AP- I thought Bible college would be more demanding than what you're telling me.
I think it explains why there are people like our dear Peter the Bible thumper who know verses from the Bible but have no clue on Biblical history and the genesis of theology. Sad.
youn = young
SW- Hi and you're too young for dementia :p
SW -- Hi there~!
Sandy -- I agree with what you said about knowing Bible verses, but nothing really beyond that. I know for a fact that the post Lisa (AP -- I want to call you Lisa again!) wrote about the Bible and homosexuality would confound and fluster both my FIL and my BIL, both "elders" in their church. My FIL, though, to his credit, would be able to use a lot of words and talk circles around until you're so damn tired of discussing it with him that you're willing to just concede he's right and knows his stuff just to make him go away. lol.
RIM I think you mean Corrine.
Corrine--I just peed my pants!
That damn satin...he gets us everytime with his tongs.
RiM- That's the gift of some of these Bible thumpers. They can talk in circles and use ad hominen arguments against you until you just get tired of discussing it with them.
What really shocks me is when my friend Peter says Catholics are not Christians. It proves his ignorance.
I like the comment there about rotting in a filthy slow cooker! My 4 year old just asked me why I was crying!
Sandy- The guy is moronic. It's sad but it also makes me laugh so hard :p
Corrine--us Catholics are definitely Christian.
Alright ladies, I had fun but it's time for me to log off. See you tomorrow!
Sandy- Exactly. I'm Catholic, just like you, and if I'm not Christian then he'll have to tell me what I am.
Yes, I did mean Corinne! Got all wound up there for a second. lol.
Catching up from earlier comments:
Trudy, I hope your appointments go well. And I hope you have a good book to take with you while you’re waiting!
Jill, sorry you aren’t feeling well. Feel betta!
Kristin, what did you think about the Bachelor, other than Gia’s lips? I found it very entertaining/incredibly silly. What parents would really be okay with a guy asking for their daughter’s hand just in case he picks their daughter out of four other women?
Robin, sorry you feel bad too!
Back to Bachelor: what’s up with Vienna acting all rich girl with dog in purse in the first episode? And it turns out she’s just a daddy’s girl spoiled white trash topless model?
Kristin, I would so invite you.
AP, I’m excited about you making the bacon dip! I hope you love it!
Breast milk cheese? ::shaking head::
"Lord have mercy. Someone tell me I'm too youn (44) for dementia."
Well, I'll take care of you if you are becoming demented. *nods*
"That damn satin...he gets us everytime with his tongs.
And his soft, silky sheen.
Sorry, sorry...lol.
See ya Corrine
"I know for a fact that the post Lisa (AP -- I want to call you Lisa again!)"
Please do - I *am Lisa! And since I'm the only Lisa here now, it's not even confusing. :-)
SW, I'll will give you my honest opinion of the bacon dip but really, how could it be bad?
How could anything made with bacon be bad?
I'm just not on board with the AP = Lisa thing. You're on your own with that Robin!
okay, I'm back.
Yes, AP feel free to let me have it :)
Going to catch up on this post and get something to eat.
Okay, Kristin, but remember - I did ask permission first so you aren't allowed to get mad and flounce off or anything. :-P
I was thinking about the picture of your kitchen and my first reaction to it (for the record, her kitchen is clean and cute so don't anyone think I meant that). I'm sure you SO is a sweet guy with a good heart - he sounds like he is - but, imo, any man (or woman, for that matter) who still insists on having a ton of empty liquor bottles displayed on the kitchen cabinets like badges of honor isn't really mature enough yet to be husband or step-father material and he's not even trying to hide that fact. As a result, it might be sort of unfair to expect it of him or be disappointed in him. And I guess I'm offering this up as something tangible to show it probably *is best if you move on, both for you and LM, hard as it will be.
SW - I think it was very silly - having Alli (or however you spell her damn name) come in twice to talk to Jake and then crying on the damn floor in the middle of the hallway - seriously?
Yes, Vienna's family - SCARY! Very trashy, and if he picks her, really...is that what he wants to marry into...and Gia's family - so the MOB!
Anywho...must get food!
LOL Kristin! Gia's family made me laugh! There is no way he would pick Gia, just based on her family!
oh and SW - what was with Gia's dad...either he was just so very stupid that they didn't let him talk or he didn't want to be on camera b/c he didn't say a thing. I thought that was strange.
Gah! What are you guys doing to me with the under1000bucks and braincells???? I have been sitting here for a half an hour laughing so hard I almost wet myself. If I'm not careful my house will turn out like Emily's cuz I will sit on my ass on the computer all day.
Lindsay, so far I've resisted the urge to check out the under1000bucks site, but I'm enjoying the discussion about it!
Kristin, ohhhhh. I was picturing some frat-boy thing where the empties are displayed. Lol, sorry about that! Is he younger than you?
All I can say is that I have never laughed so hard in my life.
I saw the breast milk cheese and thought I had enough...no I went back for more.
Kristin -- Hmmm. I know you're kind of just biding time because you're not sure how to handle it, but I would be going freakin' nuts!
<---anal. In case you hadn't noticed. :-D
Kristin - how did the gym go? What'd you do?
I need to talk to him, I care about him and we used to have something but now I'm bored and he needs to see that if he wants it to work, it has to be an "us" thing and not a me and you thing.
Gym - I did 20 minutes on the bike, did leg curls, back exercise, hip adduction & abduction, and torso twists.
oh and watched a lady talk on her cell phone while she rode a bike and then got on the treadmill. Seriously...why?
Kristin - lol about the cell phone. She's obviously very, very important. ::nods::
And you are right about the "us" thing. Otherwise it's just two people existing, and there's no good in that.
oh boy...checking out the under1000braincells blog. it's sure to keep me entertained, suck up my time and keep me from tending to the housework.
that being said, i've tried to be open to emily and her lifestyle. i don't want to live like her nor do i agree with a lot of things, but every once in awhile she surprises me. and i have been questioning my own shopping habits and considering that i might shop a little *too* much.
catching up now since i'm so far behind...the ouija board post: i have had a couple in my lifetime and tried them with a variety of people. and nothing ever happened, ever. yes i was disappointed.
it does interest me that people don't believe in that sort of thing, yet will freak out at any mention of a ouija board. my husband is one of those. he's not religious (was raised by uber religious relatives though), he doesn't believe they work, yet i'm not allowed to have one. ???
oh and i wanted to ask who/where is mckmamawithoutpity? is that a blog or a poster on blog frog? i'm trying to not get caught up in it all again, but i'm nosy.
and noticed that angie (bring the rain) did a post about JM, and talked kindly of her. i guess they hadn't parted ways after all?
hope everyone's doing great! here is kind of blah. sick kid. cold and rainy. sleeping husband. messy house. and i'd really just like to go take a nap. =/
Hey Heather!
http://mckmamawithoutpity.blogspot.com/
Sorry about the blah and the sick kid!
I'm with you on the messy house :( Now that I don't have a computer at home, I should be able to clean it, maybe tonight. We will see.
Besides blah, how are you?
Hey Heather!

Heather -- the MckMama Without Pity is a blog. Here's the link.
http://www.mckmamawithoutpity.blogspot.com/
Morning all.......can I just say OMG!!!! Did any of you just read the newest comment on MWOP? A gal got the email from JM about doing photo shoots while in Colorado......
200 freaking dollars for 1/2 hour shoot....and then she will mangle your photos for you with her mad photoshop skills and even send you a CD of what she did.
Are you freaking kidding me? I have seen her 'professional' photos and no way in hell do I think they are worthy of 400 per hour!!!
Shannon, I don't think her photos are worth that either, but hey, if she can get that for them - if someone is that stupid and will pay it - more power to her! I wish I could make that for doing some half-assed shit.
Heather, your husband secretly believes Ouija boards are evil. That's cute and I think you should rag him about it often. ;-)
Heather, I think Angie Smith is too nice to be mean about anybody. She's right though, we don't "know" Mck's heart. I don't really care about her heart. I just find her super annoying.
Also, I don't live in a city on a hill and I don't mind dimming the lights of annoying people.
I agree AP...if people are stupid enough to pay her for that then more power to her but seriously I think I would rather go to WalMart to get my family pics done LOL at least then we would be able to tell where Johnny starts and Billy ends :)
Oh, my lord. Katie is in 3rd grade. We all agree she has her talents, but spelling is not one of them. Here's her FB status for yesterday:
wow what a long day didet lern much at all
The hell you say! lol.
"at least then we would be able to tell where Johnny starts and Billy ends :)
Best line today, by far. Katie's comes close, though. :-D
So RiM - you going to "lern" her to spell? ;)
sorry...but that is funny!
thanks for the link.
ya know, about emily...i have just been disgusted to realize that she truly does have an older baby in the crib set so high, and a toddler sleeping underneath. i was hoping that was just the way things were left when NOT sleeping.
but, not using crib sheets because she has to wash them when the boys wet them? oh gosh no!
horrible. my benefit of the doubt is gone. =(
and i'm so naive, it didn't occur to me that the little boy's "coma" was likely caused by malnutrition. ugh and i'm a nurse.
i so need to wise up!!! i guess i just can't comprehend how people live.
LOL. Her teacher says she has a talent for writing, but that her complete lack of interest in spelling words correctly will be the death of her in that regard. She just writes what it sounds like to her. She will practice all week and learn her spelling words for the test, pass it, and then promptly forget all about them.
AP- i will have to give my husband a hard time about his ouija hate! when you posted about the pink one, i asked him about it. he sure couldn't give a straight answer. then left it as "disrespect" if i were to bring one home. LOL! guess it's a good thing i don't really want one.
I am ordering one of those washers for my daughter. Let her wash her 3 towels a day that way.. lmao
Trudy - how was the doctors appointment?
Heather, if he pulled out a word like "disrespect", he really is scared of them!
Trudy, 3 towels a day? I started to make some remark about that until I realized my own kid uses 2 plus a handtowel.
Total subject change, but I miss RF. Has she come back to SIP yet and if so, how's her MIL? Does she have a blog? I'm awful I know, but I can't remember and can't find it, if so.
AP - she has a blog but I don't think its been updated.
and you know what? I have no idea if she's been on SIP...because...hmmmm....my privileges were revoked...:)
I haven't seen her in a few days her mil is sick and her hubby went to fl. to be with her
No way, Kristin! :-D
I just keep thinking about RF today, for some reason. Weird. Speaking of weird, I was looking at the sitemeter (which anyone can do by clicking on it, in case someone missed that) and see that someone from Lexington, KY visits. And that? Is something I find interesting as hell since I knew someone from that areaand am never shocked at where she can pop up. Is anyone who posts here from the Lexington area and I don't know it?
lumpt is still in my boob and i'll know if he got bigger on thurs. i'm on meds for my cholesterol.
lumpy
Trudy, I knew about her MIL...I was just hoping she'd been back to update. I hope things are okay and thanks.
i think i come up a rodchester michigan and that is fr from me.
The last I had heard from RF was that her husband was seriously putting his foot down when the doc was talking about discharging her and they hadnt even found out what was causing the problems she was having.
Dr. wants me to drink red wine.... i'm not a wine drinker so anyone know of red wines that taste good?
Yeah AP - go figure?
Nope, I'm not from them parts, I'd be interested in the story though.
I was just going to ditto what Trudy said. I heard from her on the 3rd and she said her hubby was in FL. That is all.
Oh and RF fell and ended up losing her pants and was bare assed in the drive way while getting the mail.
OH god Trudy how could I forget that part LOL....as she put it she fell in the snow 'sunny side up'
Oh no Trudy. Do you know, other than her pride, was she hurt?
she was fine, funny as hell tellng us about it
Well, I *am sorry I missed that story! If anyone ever speaks to her, please tell her I'm thinking of her.
Kristin, not anything too exciting to the story. Just someone I cared for once upon a time ago. Still do, but in a different way. Every so often she seems to just pop up out of nowhere and I was wondering if she'd managed to find me again. Not that I'd mind...I just wish she'd come out to play with us if it's her. :-)
Gotcha AP!
Sorry I missed that story too.
Trudy, it's been my experience with wine that they all taste better cold, even they aren't supposed to be served cold. I'm loss-class like that. And I *love Port but I know not everyone does...it's a heavy, very sweet, strong wine, though. Maybe that would suit you?
Has the emily chick ever talked about their parents. If that was my grandchild sleeping under a crib there would be hell to pay.
I think i would like a sweet.
Loss-class? Alrighty, then. Let's make that low-class.
I'm off to finish dinner that I started too early and get more chores done...see y'all later!
I'm low class to AP - I like my wine cold too!
See ya AP
*too....yikes!
bye AP - oh and you have e-mail!
Sorry ladies...not trying to make anyone feel excluded.
Also, AP - did you find out anymore about how to add a blog post to the side? I know you are gone, but thought I'd ask...or does anyone know?
Trudy - if you have a costco or a Trader Joe's near you, you have to try Marques de Casara Rioja. It's a Spanish Red and it is super smooth. It doesn't have an after bite. It's not sweet, but I have a couple of friends who only do white wine who I have converted to red with this one. I'm sure you can get it elsewhere, but that's just where I get it from. And thanks for your sweet comment the other day when i checked in :) I hope lumpy isn't bigger.
::feeling excluded:: (j/k!)
oh, don't make me...SW... :)
Jake uses 2 big towels and a hand towel a day, AP? I hope he does the laundry!
Trudy, I pretty much only drink red wine, and some of my favorites are Greg Norman (with a shark on the label) Shiraz, and Erath (Oregon) Pinot Noir, and Yellow Tail (with the kangaroo on the label) Reserve Merlot. All are in the 15 - 22 dollar range.
I just posted this on Mck w/o Pity. What do you think, Shannon? Do I have a decent point?
I'm certainly no fan of Mck's. Find her incredibly annoying, in fact. But note that her price of $200 for a half hour includes a CD with the images and you can make unlimited copies. Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't most professional photographers have one price for the photo shoot, and then make you pay for copies on a per copy basis? If you factor that in, it might not be such a bad deal. ::shrugging::
That is, of course, if you want incredibly annoying Mck taking your picture!
SW - I know zip about photography or shoots or the cost thereof of any of it, and while yeah, I find JM annoying, too, I figure if she's charging that, and getting it, then more power to her. If I'm being totally honest, I never got the big uproar over her making money off of her blog, either, or even her method of driving up traffic. If it works, and she's making money, then how is she any different than a million other entities out there making money in ways that may or may not be totally ethical, you know? I think she's irritating and I don't see the draw to her, but obviously *someone does.
Okay. Rant over. Anything to get out of cleaning up the kitchen, I swear.
trudy,
emily has posted about their families. though i have missed some details about her mom. apparently, from comments, emily was raised in a more wealthy environment and for some reason she is bitter about that. she has a brother who is completely disconnected from most of the family and is very "fundie", convinced emily's husband to not allow a christmas tree for some reason.
i believe her father (someone's male relative at the least) was present for her recent home birth. so i guess he's ok with their lifestyle.
i can't remember too many details about his family. there were a lot of mentions regarding family during her christmas gift posts.
i've left a concerned comment or two for her just now. we've commented back and forth before in a nice manner. i sure hope she'll listen this time. but if her other comments today are any indication...i doubt it.
It could be a very decent point SW. Me I havent had family pics done since my kids were 2 and brand new....that was over 16 years ago. Hell I dont even get school pics of the kids because they are so damn expensive.
SW-i have some online friends who are natural light photographers and with their prices (that don't include prints)...i think you're right that the price isn't too bad.
now a while back i heard an outrageous amount she was charging for weddings. can't remember how much, but it seemed crazy.
Read this on a blog regarding the Blissdom thing JM just went to -- not so much a rant against JM as an interesting take on the stance and she and many others take about their children/religion/God/Jesus/whatever.
____
It all came to head for me, emotionally, during the final keynote. McKMama spoke, and shared in great detail about the struggle she's gone through with her son Stellan, who suffered from a heart defect that has nearly killed him throughout his life multiple times. He's finally okay now (it appears that his last surgery was successful), but the support that she's received during the journey with him as landed her with a very successful blog (nearly 3 million visitors a month) and all the conflict that comes with being a successful mom blogger.
While she was speaking, at first I was bored. Then I grew irritated. I grew so irritated, in fact, that I began to question myself and wonder what was wrong with me. I thought to myself, "This story is so heart wrenching and compelling. Why am I not engaged?" Everyone around me was weeping. Some were sobbing openly. Why was I so disconnected?
Her story went on. And on. And on. A theme emerged, it felt to me. The theme was this: "He nearly died, and I prayed. Jesus saved him again!" The twitter stream during her keynote speech was full of words like "testify" and "witness."
I began to feel bitter.
While those that feel that their children are miracles that survive -- miracles straight from the hand of Jesus-- those of us who lost our children are left floundering trying to find a faith that works in the face of the unbelievable rip-off that is a dead child. It's very hard to hear, over and over, about how a child lived because of God's love -- because that means that God must not have loved MY children. Right?
I'm posting that at SIP, too. Sorry for the repeat for those who read both places.
RiM, I agreed with most of what you said except for not getting the big uproar about her method for driving up traffic. I think her exaggerations about Stellan's condition and playing to her reader's sympathies with "Adenosine now!" and "The families are coming in" posts were reprehensible.
I'm just sayin', but I just had a photo shoot done outside in a location of our choosing for $85 and she gave us a CD of our pics. Editing and "natural" photoshopping was included in that price. And I think she did a nice job. I have been pleased. That said, if people are willing to pay that, and the way she edits are someone's cup of tea, I guess it's their preogative.
And I'm quite bummed about Angie Smith jumping in and "protecting" JM. I read Angie because I like to read Angie. Why bring JM into her arena and also ask her readers to "tattle" if someone leaves a comment with a negative bent about other bloggers. That was plain weird. I hope this isn't a taste of where Bring the Rain is headed.
SW -- oh, I think it's reprehensible, but I think she's far from being alone in blogger world, is all. I just think that what they say about a fool being born every minute is proven true by people like JM's sheeple, you know?
Good point, Lindsay. I've always liked Angie Smith, but Bring the Rain hasn't been much to read for the last year. She rarely updates and when she does she doesn't talk about her family much.
Yes RiM, agreed.
I haven't thought about JM in at least a couple of weeks, and now I am going to have to go through my 12 step program again.
She just makes my blood boil. She just sees God as all sunshine and roses because she clearly "prays enough" to get what she wants. That's the message she sends, and it just irks me. Guess what? God sometimes says "NO" and it's okay. He loves you anyway. You are not less of a Christian or a human if He says "no" and you lose your child. It doesn't mean you didn't pray enough or you didn't love God enough. And people listen to her and take her "preaching" as gospel. AAAAAAGH!
Someone left this in the comments to the above post:
Your post hits on two levels for me. One: This is CHD Awareness Week, and I know this is off topic from where you went with MckMama's speech. But, as someone who has a CHD survivor, she has such power to spread the word. What about all the other heart defect children? I don't think she owes hours of time to the community, but one little tweet, one small blog post from her could get the word out. It honestly, feels selfish to me. Especially as a blogger and mother who did not know about CHD until my child was born with it. I can't help but resent and blame her. If she'd worked for a minute to spread the word, I might have known, and many others might know. Instead, all we get is Stellan was a miracle. Not that there have been a gazillion advances because of increased attention and more research because we've learned so much about CHD in the past 20 years, and that she has the opportunity to add to that and fuel the fire, and help even more. And second, just imagine how an atheist or Muslim, or Buddhist that has lost a child might feel listening to her speech and being part of the blogging community. I'm all for prayers and pass on prayer requests, but feel like I have to hide my faith or all support will be lost.
Hello to everyone who is here. I've been lurking a bit. Thanks Kristin for the heads up. I like the rules AP.
Hi Christy. Welcome.
Hi Christy!
and hello all other lurkers ::
can I just say.... I miss not having a computer at home...and it really pisses me off since I just downloaded all my sesame street live pics onto it.
I'm trying to figure out if I can afford a new laptop. :(
Sandy - saying hello since I don't think I have really said hello....and I am sorry if we have "met" before,as your name rings a bell but I can't recall details.
So hey there!
Hiya Christy! Welcome!
Hi Sandy. Thanks.
Hi Kristin and SW. I hope you can get a new computer soon Kristin.
Hey Kristin, I post alot over at the Fellowship.
I remember your name Sandy. Just found out our tax return was accepted, so yea for a refund soon!
Alright ladies - I'll see you tomorrow.
Got called into a meeting...said they would need me for no more than 12 seconds and was in there for over 20 minutes.
Have a wonderful day!
Hello! I hope everyone is having a good day so far.
Hi Tee! Hope you are well.
I'm heading home to no computerland after a not very productive day. :-( I have a lead on a new laptop though. My friend's kid is in trouble for saying mean things about a girl on Facebook, and my friend might sell me her son's new computer! (Kids are so mean.)
See ya'll tomorrow!
Hi Miss Tee. How are you today?
I'm doing okay, thank you! I'm pretty tired and slightly drugged. (Thank you, nice ER doctor man.) Right now, I'm playing with my sister's laptop while V is standing next to me. Yes, I said standing. She's actually standing on her own in between me and the arm of the recliner! She can't balance, of course, so I have my arm around her so she can lean against it. She really has a heck of a lot of nerve. Who the heck told her she could grow up so quickly?
SW- Geez, cyberspace bullying. That's a new low, ain't so? If you have another friend with a kid in trouble, let me know. I could use a new computer.
Sandy- How are you doing today? I hope your day is going well!!
It's going Tee...just my usually kid trouble. Seems my daughter spent more of her time today in the office at school. She threw a kicking and screaming fit.
Mercy, I'm sorry to hear that, Sandy. Was there any one thing that set her off or is she just having a rough day?
"Also, AP - did you find out anymore about how to add a blog post to the side? I know you are gone, but thought I'd ask...or does anyone know?"
No. Shit. I forgot. I'm going to go to a blag post in a bit and I'll check the rich text thing out then and let you know.
SW, no, I do the towels...I'm a laundry freak, remember? God, you got lucky with me.
*waves a big ol' hi to Christy*
Hi! I'm just jumping in to say hello, I'm in the middle of tons of work!
Hi Tee, AP, & CC!
So glad this day is almost over. I have a baby that refuses to nap. Does baby V take good naps, Tee? How old is she now?
Cupcake, hi. :-) I'm glad you did jump in - the more the merrier!
Hi Christy!
Hi AP, love the new blog!
Christy- Baby V is four months old now. She actually does take pretty good naps. She will either take two long ones, one morning and one afternoon, or one in the morning and two short ones in the afternoon. It just kind of depends on what is happening and if they are at home or out somewhere. How old is your baby?
Hi Cupcake! Good to see you!
Ap - ever since you posted about your laundry freakness (new word!) I've been buying fragrant fabric softener instead of boring Downy Free. I've got both of my son's hooked on new scents now too.
Hi Tee!
He is 12 months and took great naps until he was 4 months...then not so good. And in the last week he has stopped altogether. I keep trying and he gets rest time twice a day, but will not fall asleep. He goes to bed early though, usually by 6, otherwise I would be insane by now :). I need to figure out the secret to getting him to nap
Christy- I'd be well past insane and on my way to the nuthouse. Oh, I would be pulling my hair out by now. I'm not sure what to tell you. Do you find that he's cranky during the day or is he doing okay?
Tee, regarding my daughter...this is almost a daily occurrence for her. Autism sucks and if you're not Jenny McCarthy, there is pretty much no help or guidance.
Thanks, CC...hopefully we can all have some fun with it!
Christy, Jake did that with naps...he stopped about a year old. It took me nearly another year to give up trying because it wound up just leaving us both so exhausted. I kept listening to people who kept telling me he needed to be napping when, really, I guess he didn't.
That's the thing, he's not cranky until close to bedtime. He's really happy up to then. But he is into everything...crawling anywhere he can and opening cabinets, drawers, etc. I don't remember this stage with the older boys, but it is exhausting!
Oh, AP that does *not make me happy. How did you keep your sanity? My little one is so active.
Chris was never a napper really...He was a power napper which means that where ever he happened to be he would just fall asleep. Before you could be happy he was asleep he was awake and good to go for many many more hours. He would nap for maybe 10 minutes at a time....it was insane.
We did playpen time, Christy...I had a portable one and a couple of times a day I'd put him in it with quiet toys and a drink so that I knew he was safe and I'd take a fast nap in the room with him. Or I'd set it up out back and nap in a lawn chair a bit. I'll own, too, that knowing he'd pass out fast in a car seat, I'd just take him for a drive and once he was asleep, I'd come back home and take a quick nap in the car with him. Those options don't make you very happy, I know.
Shannon, my oldest was a power napper, too. I think it worked because I was on the go more. I stay home most of the time now. I'll have to try the playpen time.
Hi everyone!
It's snowing like a MF'er here right now. Just wanted to pop in and say hello, going to go catch up and read here, 1000braincells, and Facebook. Gah! My real life is interfering with my virtual one!
I think AP has the right idea here. If your little one has decided to give up naps this early in his life, there is nothing wrong with you making sure he is safe and occupied with a few toys so that you can catch a short break. I think that anybody would be exhausted at this point. I'd be well past exhausted! How old are your other children?
AP- found this site and thought of you:
http://dirtyshankcardchallenges.blogspot.com/
I have no idea why it reminded me of you though. . . ;)
Hey Bella! Don't ya just hate it when that happens?
I'm being summoned to dry Celia's hair. I'll be back later!
Bella, the *nerve of your real life!
CC, I live to serve in the fabric softener department. ;-) Once you start that stuff, you won't go back. You need more and more...you watch. It's really fabric crack.
So, who else is addicted to Lost besides me and SW? Am I the only one really sort of disappointed in these first two shows?
Oh, Jill...lolololol...oh, Jill, you *do know me! I'm loving that site. How can you not love this?
Dirty Shank #292 Be Yourself
Be yourself! You are not good enough to be anyone else.
And seriously, this? I mean, it's not like I can relate or anything...but still.
Q: Aren't some of your dirty shanks mean, racist, politically incorrect, or sexist?
A: Well yeah. You got me on that one.
Q: I'm offended, who handles complaints?
A: Please forward all complaints to the Dirty Shank Complaint Department.
Q: I can't find the Complaint Department, where is it?
A: Exactly.
So, since I'm talking to myself as I start this, can I rant? Thanks, I think I will. Tonight I was talking to a friend (well, sort of) and she's losing her house to foreclosure. It auctions this month. Bear in mind, I went with her to her closing and spent the whole car ride trying to convince her not to do this but obviously she was not listening to me. She bought when the market was at its peak (mistake), financed with a 2-year ARM with a company that actually let her claim the child support on her then 13 and 15 year old daughters as income (mistake), then she proceeded to spend another $20K on expensive renovations these old homes don't call for (mistake) and then, when she actually lucked into refinancing 2 years later, she's re-fied for enough to pay off her car when over-payed on and to pay off her credit card debt. Um. Mis-take, mistake, mistake. Then, she lost three jobs (one I know was her fault) and her mortgage company has bent over backwards with her by cutting her payment from $1200 to $500 until she found work. They gave her a year. Then, they started proceedings. She? Is *pissed. Why? Because she's worked "too hard" in her life (break out the violins) to have everything "taken from" her and now she's looking at her second bankruptcy in 10 years as well, and it's alllllll the economy's fault. No fucking personal responsibility at all. Of course, there she sits with a new TV, premium cable channels, all new appliances, a new computer...ugh. It makes me ill. And I'll hush now.
AP,
I'm here reading and watching The Good Wife. Trying to lose this 30 hour plus headache with one of the husband's muscle relaxers.
ARM's are evil. Your friend sounds like JM - lots of wants without the resources to afford them.
Even in a good economy, ARM's are a bad idea. If the initial lower interest rate ie the only way you can get the mortgage and "afford" the house payment, you can't afford the house.
AP,
Do you tell her what you think? Does she ask?
CK, I'm so sorry about your head. That sounds miserable. :-(
I don't tell her anymore...why bother? It's wasted breath. I tried to tell her not to buy that house. I tried to tell her not to spend $10K she didn't have (put it on a credit card) to redo her kitchen when she could have done it for under $5K and that really, it didn't need it at all. It had some mismatched cabinets and all, but we could have made that work and made it cute. Hell, I pulled an Emily and lived here for over a year with no cabinets, no sink, no counters...just a stove, microwave, fridge and a table I used for food prep. We kept food and dishes in Rubbermaid boxes and washed dishes in the tub. It sucked but at least when I bought cabinets and counters, they were all mine. Sorry for running off at the mouth about all this - it's just really aggravating me tonight.
Hey everyone - just gonna jump in and say hi and then go catch up! That diaper thing grosses me out - I did cloth diapers for a week when my first was born, my dad bought me a diaper service for a month as a baby gift, thought he was doing something really sweet... I used them the first week and wanted to cry... called the diaper company and cancelled it and tld them to refund my dad! Then called my dad and said I suck at cloth diapers dad... you are getting a 3 week refund! He used the refund to buy me like 8 huge boxes of pampers! yay for my dad!! geeze, i miss him so freaking much .... just telling that story, makes me wanna cry!
Karen, that was so good of him. So, I'm not sure how to tactfully ask but is he living far away now or has he passed?
Thanks AP - the muscle relaxer helped, but also made me very sleepy and groggy.
Living like Emily, huh? But I can just here you screeching proudly at the time "it's mine, all mine!!!"
here = hear
CK< I will admit I can get that way, yes. But in the end, her kitchen really isn't all that much nicer than mine, especially since I'll be cooking in mine and someone else will be cooking in hers. :-D Now go to bed...I hope your headache is gone tomorrow.
Hi all! Kristin is going to be so jealous - my friend brought me her son's confiscated laptop and I'm back online! Woohoo! My friend is something of a softie from a parenting standpoint, so I can't count on having it for long, but beggars can't be choosers, ya know.
AP, I was terribly disappointed in tonight's Lost episode. I didn't care one whit about the Sayid storyline. I'm sick of the others and the jungle. The only storyline I cared about was Kate and Claire.
"especially since I'll be cooking in mine and someone else will be cooking in hers. :-D"
Ha!
AP,
Ya gotta celebrate what you've got.
AP, where is your friend going to move to?
SW, I'm so glad you're back, even if only for awhile! Yes, I agree about the Claire/Kate storyline. I suspect the whole Sayid being Christ thing is a bunch of bullshit so my interests lies more in the importance of Aaron right now. And Walt. I'm going to be *pissed if Walt isn't important. But so far? It's terribly predictable and that's so unlike Lost.
Yeah, did I miss the Sayid is Christ thing? Or are you reading spoilers. No worries if so, I'm so not engaged that I wouldn't mind being spoiled.
Bella, I feel bad for all you folks with all that snow. This winter is starting to feel oppressive in Alabama. I can't imagine how it feels up where you and others are.
SW, she isn't sure. And really, it's time to be sure. She discusses living with a friend here, and randomly discusses moving back to NC where she has a good friend. Her problem? Two large dogs and no job. I would actually welcome her and the one daughter living with her here for a short while. They could share my office and I could move my stuff out. I'm even okay with their one very old dog, but only outside and she won't agree to that. The other dog? Is a pitbull that attacked me unprovoked, tore my knee all up, and that I could quite happily take a gun to right now. No one can take her damn dogs and without a job, good luck renting.
Wow, AP. She really is up shit creek. And you are really a good friend if you would take three of them in. I hope it doesn't come to that, for your sake. That would be tough on you.
"Yeah, did I miss the Sayid is Christ thing? Or are you reading spoilers. No worries if so, I'm so not engaged that I wouldn't mind being spoiled."
No, no spoilers, just my interpretation. He was shot (nailed) and then dipped in water bent over, face first (baptized) to heal him. They mentioned the water wasn't clear and it wasn't. It was blood or wine colored. As they carried him out of the water, he was dead but with his arms were spread out giving his body a crucifixion effect, as Jesus would have looked being taken off the cross. Then, some time passes and he raises from being dead. But hey, I could be wrong. You know how Lost is.
SW, after today? I don't think I could do it, if I'm honest. She makes me insane. She ate mango peels out of my dirty kitchen sink once. I was so freaked out, I took a picture of her doing it.
Hmmmm. My friend said something about Sayid being Jacob. Either way, I'm bored. I think they've "done" the jungle to death. The "side flashes" are the only interesting part to me.
Dang it, I've got to go to bed in order not to be worthless tomorrow like I was today. I'll see ya in the AM!
AP he died Dec. 29, 1999 - so it was just 10 years this past Dec.
I LOVE LOST! We dvr it - and then Angela comes over - tomorrow night she's coming - we will watch Tay while she works, i cook dinner, and we have dinner while we watch Lost - Love love love that show! I cannot believe this is the last season :(
AP,
Just remember that image if you get a wild hair in a weak moment where you are thinking about letting her stay.
Night for me too - bye Karen, AP, SW (if you're still here).
Night CK!
ok since i'm here alone... i have a mystery for anyone to solve... I live in an apartment complex, there are 8 units per building... 4 on each side. my unit directly faces another unit so our four doors face their four doors, about 100 feet away - with a big common area between. across from us, and 2 doors up - a single woman lives, probably late 30's - i think she is a nurse, she goes in and out to work in scrubs, she never ever wears a coat, she is very overweight, has no kids living there, no pets at all... and every night, about 10 or 11 or so - she has all the lights out in the house and through the upstairs windows she has her blinds cracked so you can see shadows... and no curtains, and she has a flashlight that she shines on the walls, for about 15 minutes, every.single.night! she sometimes makes shadow puppets in them, like a dog, or alligator... on the walls... She sometimes will put her hands in the peace sign... it goes on like that for like 15 minutes, then the tv comes on and the flashlight goes out, and you don't see it again til the next night. we call her flashlight lady. haven't ever spoken to her really, just to say hi and say something out the weather or whatever... but what the *hell is she doing? at first we thought she had cats, and she played with the flashlight with them, but nope - no pets at all... we asked her if the stray cat might have been hers that got out - she said no - she has no animals at all. why would a grown woman do this?
it is the little things that make you go hmmmm...
Karen, that is really weird about your neighbor. I have no idea. You should get up the nerve to ask her sometime.
Ugh, I'm still up. Karen, could she be a pediatric nurse and practicing these things to entertain the kids who are sick? That or the job got to her and she now speaks to her little shadow friends every night.
Hi!
Like this site too AP!
Just dropping by tonight to say hi and will come back later when folks are here!
Happy to see so many people I *know.
SW I plan to make the bacon dip this weekend. I've been dreaming about it since you posted the recipe! Think my crew will love it.
Just saw a live news clip from the snow areas and its coming down so fast! WOW! Hope everyone has stocked up on their supplies and that the electricity stays on! Stay warm.
Morning ladies - off to go make coffee and then catch up.
It sucks not having a computer at home :(
CK - Sorry to hear about the headache. Hope it is better today!
Tee - sorry I missed you again!
LFoB - hey, feel free to share your story, we might laugh but sometimes its good to get it off your chest and share. Sorry you are feeling overwhelmed.
and if you shared already, sorry...still trying to catch up.
SW - :(
'Morning, all and hiya, Suze! I'm glad you found us.
Did y'all hear about the earthquake in IL? That's just bizarre.
Oh, nooooooooo. I stopped typing this for a bit and checked TMZ. Captain Phil from Deadliest Catch died. He was my favorite. :-((
Oh no AP! He was my favorite too :( I saw he had a stroke....so sad.
Oddly, he reminded me of my father, his look and his mannerisms.
Oh, and good morning...how are you today?
I'm fine, Kristin. Just hated hearing that - I love that show and always got a huge kick out of him. He looked and acted like such a badass and then I saw somewhere he built little, intricate birdhouses and decorated them with tiny furniture as a hobby. Some badass. I feel so bad for his boys.
How are you today?
Yeah, that is sad. I was so worried when he had that blood clot - and I LOVE that show too. Go figure right?
It has gotta be rough on the boys. Wondering what will happen, if they will continue on with the show with what's his name as the captain or what?
Sad day :(
Morning all! Karen, I loved the story about your neighbor and the shadow puppets! People are interesting!
Sorry about your sea captain, ladies. I've never seen Deadliest Catch, but The Perfect Storm cured me of any latent desire to be a fisherman.
Morning everyone! I'm freezing this morning - its 12 degrees with wind chill of -2 and the wind is picking up - blowing the snow! My son and Patti are out there working on my car! I'm sitting here drinking my coffee - waiting for Tay.
Bye the way - Hey Kristin!! Don't think I've been online at the same time as you over here - since you don't have a laptop at home any more! Glad to see you again!!!!
LOL A hilarious new post is up on MWOP about Mck's photoshopping! Check it out.
Morning Karen! Brrrr!
Hi Karen - glad to *see you! I haven't forgotten about the project, still working on it.
Hey Suze! How are things with you? (if you come on today))
SW - I'm mad at you :)
SW I just think its very strange... the lady is pretty strange... but the flashlight stuff, weird! We are semi friendly with the little neighbor girl in our building and we mentioned it to her one night and she said oh yea, lots of people see that going on, nobody knows what the heck she is doing, but its entertaining. My mom was here one night, and we were outside smoking and I had told her about it on the phone, and I said look mom, flashlight lady had her flashlight on, and my mom was amazing, she kept saying what the heck...? Ha! Its funny what you see neighbors doing in a small close complex like this!!
Kristin - no worries - I know you are super busy all the time! I've been doing lots of online applications at places... I am thinking I want a low pressure, low stress job... think that even exists? I was under so much pressure/stress at my old job, now that I'm living close to all my kids, involved in my mom's life as much as I have been lately, I want to go to work, come home, and not worry about my day.... I dont' know if that type of job even exists though!!
How is your mom? Did you guys move her to the new place or is that soon?
Morning! I survived the Great Illinois Earthquake!
That's too bad about Captain Phil. He was one of my favorites.
Sandy - glad to hear that you survived. I heard about the earthquake - what was the magnitude? I guess I can go look at one of the news sites.
