It can also be good to use the ignore feature when needed - and to just avoid some boards!

Your first pair!? What have you been waiting for?! :D Welcome to the club!

Welcome to the dark side. You'll love it here. We're all much more comfortable.

I love this from one of Khristne Billerbeck's books. Paphrasing here..but was something like"officially they are called yoga pants. Unofficially they are the pants that I eat ice cream in." Love that.

I miss her! And it's weird to think that I won't know whether she's doing okay or not. Even if she writes, it will take several days for the letter to get here.

I mean, I was a camp counselor in my youth. I know she'll do fine. All of them do. But this feels DIFFERENT.

My DS goes to sleepaway camp for the first time this Friday. I'm already a mess.

Accompanied by a musical greeting card.

You just have to hope the guilty party will have a 3 yo of their own in a few years.

Swimmermom3, I know someone whose mother in law sent her 2 year old a drum set when his new baby brother was born. Can you imagine anything worse?

I noticed this yesterday - I'm impressed with the upgrade overall, but this might be my favorite new feature!

That is a GREAT feature. Also, we don't know what you said about the upgrade, but thanks for taking it back.

LIKE!!

LOL. We made our final decision after an open house right before school started!

Good thing she has you around!

Ha - homeschool consulting = $50/hour, no? ;-) I know that feeling well. I wish them luck!

Mean mom says the same in this house. :)

Me too!

I have done the exact same thing!

But why would you want to?

47 books on the coffee table is perfectly reasonable. Now how many do you have on your kitchen floor?

Beaners, zero. Zero books on the kitchen floor. (Don't ask about books on the service bar, the bar chairs, or the birdseed box.)

I usually set aside an evening earlier in the week and settle down with all my wrapping, a nice glass of wine, and the old B&W version of Miracle on 34th Street.

I wrap mine as they come in. Christmas morning is hard enough without the sleep deprivation.

I had a similar dream except I did not get all my shopping complete and felt bad that my boys did not have any gifts.....

Wow-that is great, Rivka! Where is this happening? Pm me if you'd rather not shore in public.

Christmas Eve at the First Unitarian Church of Baltimore! It's a fairly stripped-down version of the story, with a teenaged narrator providing most of the exposition, but Alex still gets a number of great lines.

Sounds wonderful. We have read the book a few times and seen the movie. I wish there was a local play.

I wish we lived near you! Ditto Sadie!

Congratualtions!

Go you! Awesome :)

So sorry :C

I agree, a lot of movies, conditioner and patience...

Worked on the kids for almost eight hours straight yesterday. Electronic lice zapping comb, then medicated shampoo, then nit combing. Thank God for my regular babysitter who came over and did many loads of laundry while I combed.

Ha, my oldest ds laughs at me now.

Right now I think they just feel super lucky that they get to watch a movie.

Yes!

She's awesome!

Woo hoo!

Ha!

Obama! *shakes fist at sky*

:)

You made it! I went over to give you a bump, but you were over the top! What an accomplishment. Now maybe I should actually read the thread! LOL

Hee! Enjoying my Sally Field moment now.

I liked it! :)

Being good is overrated. ;)

Where's the fun in that?

Why? Are you ill?

Awesome!

Sweet!

Wow!

You're spreading logic and reason where there is none! Not too shabby! (I used to be kck, Kim C-K on fb)

If only that was what they paid me for!

LOL - isn't that the truth.

Sigh...were you at the same committee meeting I was today??

LOL! What an awesome mascot though!

All preschools should have that mascot!

lol, I can't sleep in either. Enjoy your time away anyway!

Still remember first business trip after having the baby. I planned on sleeping 15 hours straight. No such luck :)

I say, "Hi!"

Wow, really?! Cool!

I just sent DH out for Thai. :D

I hope you got some sleep! I hate slumber parties. Who decided that is the "it" thing for tween girls to do for their birthdays? Parents tired of parties at jumpy play centers?
