  1. It's snowing. In the foothills. Of San Diego. In May. Go home, Mother Nature, you're drunk. And that's probably a preexisting condition.

  2. So but really, was 2016 THAT BAD?!

      My BIL died in a car accident Jan. 1st, DH turned 50 a couple weeks later, and lost his job of 19 years Feb. 1st. DH had to take a job that means he is only home on weekends. We were reeling the first 1/2 of the year. But somehow, I don't feel that it was a bad year.

  3. Dog is dying. Hubby and I having a hard discussion today.

  4. Wrote up my most recent birth story, because it was a doozy: http://www.sheknows.com/parenting/articles/1130011/i-delivered-my-own-baby-in-car

      I LOVED it! And your son's picture is the cherry on top. Lol! I own a FIT and I can't imagine giving birth in there. I accidentally gave birth to #3 in the bathtub. Best labor ever.

      What a trooper! That smell hangs with you.

  7. From the bathroom: "Mom, does the conditioner go on first or the shampoo? Why do I have to wash my hair again?" Personal hygiene is *tough.*

  8. Gave myself permission to give away clothing that is five sizes away from the next child that would wear them, instead of storing them.

  9. I am now officially done with my summer classes! 5 weeks until fall semester.

  10. Sun, sun, go away! This native PNWer is positively wilting and besides, I have woodwork to paint.

      Crazy hot! I can't believe I'm going to say this but, yeah, I'm ready for some cooler weather.

  11. A pox on curriculum providers who won't sell to the public.

      Rosie, you make me laugh even when you are annoyed. :)

  12. My husband went out of town today so he hid the ice cream scoop "for my own good". Pft. Like that's going to stop me.

  13. I feel like the last page of any given curriculum should play a trumpet blast and spray some confetti when we get to them.

  14. Getting really good at setting mousetraps tonight. Not really a skill I wanted to have to master.

      I guess you'll have to copy and paste. It is a video on how to set up the trap with the tootsie roll. I have a Tom Cat so I wrap the candy around a toothpick. Works better than peanut butter for me.

      I understand. Partially chewed Tootsie Rolls work really well.

  17. So disappointing to finally sit down and place an online order before the promo code expires, only to find out it was timed to expire at midnight East Coast time, while I'm in the western US.

      Same thing happened to me this week with Memoria Press. All I got was a "sorry."

  18. Long and bad day. I backed out of a driveway into a parked car.

  19. PSA: Do not let your child search for "pussy willows" on the internet. Or if you do, be prepared for the question "Mom, why are those ladies in weird bathing suits?" At least they were wearing something . . .

  20. 37W5D pregnant: beached on the sofa, miserable, and struggling to get up...and hubby finds it amusing to offer to call GreenPeaceí ½í¸©

      Hang in there. Your DH sounds like he has good humor but bad timing. :)

  21. OMG lice. Someone please hold my hand. Alex has waist-length hair.

  22. This has been a rock star week in our homeschool. It has made up for the weeks that we have too many interruptions or struggle with attitudes. Today my 7 year old and I made an electromagnet, hunted around the house for magnetic items, and played around with magnets and iron fillings to explore magnetic fields. We compared and contrasted Velcro and zippers, made lists of common and proper nouns, and interviewed his Grandma for a biography he's going to write. Then we read about pioneers a...

  23. Hey, guys, I took a forum break and then came back. I just can't quit y'all, I guess.

  24. I broke my right arm falling on my butt at the Grand Canyon. Definitely the winner for worst vacation ever!
