DYK you don't need to worry that you will scare me...I know that it isn't all rainbows and ponies



DYK that does sound miserable though

dyk I am ready to kill my SIL, my parents are barely making it but they won't take any help. I got my mom to finally to let us pay for their flu shots this year.

dyk She told my mom she can't afford to buy any of the kids clothing so my mom is trying to figure out how to buy them clothes.

dyk I told my mom they have been to the beach several times, to at least one game in each of the Cub series (parking alone is $20), she just got her hair cut, she is visiting friends when not in class... sometimes you have to make decisions like do I buy my child clothes and sit home or go out.


Thank you to Christina for my wonderful siggy!

DYK you SIL sounds *just* like my BIL's baby mama...nice and selfish



DYK they keep telling my niece that dance lessons are not in the budget, but somehow mom keeps finding money to get her nails and hair done each month



DYK your poor Mom...she needs to be taking care of number one, not worrying about your SIL

dyk my clogged thing was strange b/c it wasn't on my actual nipple but rather the aereola



dyk but nursing made it feel SO MUCH BETTER - aaaaaaaaaaah lol



dyk and that really was just a blip - and in having nursed 3 kids (though Abi was short lived) that's my first and only so far real issue - pretty good !

dyk I just plucked another dog out of Shiloh - fur wise



dyk and took the clippers to her hind quarters which were matted



dyk and a few pieces in her fluffy tail



dyk then I took those same scissors and went edward scissorhands on the rest of the pool (the bottom just gave out and was leaking air)



dyk then I put it all in a trashbag, sweeping the backoorch, throwing out old toys



dyk and then I fixed the gazebo cover which was holding water along 3 of the 4 top sides -



dyk GEE MOSQUITOS BEDS

dyk skinny jeans - awesome!



dyk I am not at my heaviestr right now - but close I am holding.... 40 lbs over where I want to be... but not gaining and while breastfeeding that is good for me



dyk I am not feeling great about it at all, BUT, I have some new clothes and the 13yo childcare worker at small group told her mom, "Miss Jennie is so pretty and she dresses so cute."



dyk I didn't know it was possible to impress a teenager if you were over 30! haha

dyk and we had a playdate at the park in town - well one of many - but after 45 minutes I asked if we could move it indoors - Abi was getting eaten up - the mosquitos are peaked right now



dyk see, people never want a hurricane, but some tropical winds would really be helpful to clear out the ragweed and the mosquitoes!!!

dyk so as pretty as the day was, we spend the last hour of our playdate at the McD's



dyk but we enjoyed the first 45 minutes



dyk there were 3 of us - and in addition to various other kids, we are all homeschooling a first grader



dyk so we have plenty to talk about - they had all seen my FB post about Abi's spelling test



dyk I know it might seem silly to be so stoked about a spelling test, but for me to be able to orally say a word and her sound it out and write it down - that's HUGE for her - that's a lot of processing working together accurately!
