I had it for a year free through Amazon Mom then when it ran out they gave me the option of renewing for half price and I took it. I like realizing I need something, ordering it and not getting charged shipping.

Interesting conversation. I have to ask, what is the color of your hair below your knee now? I only ask b/c I only shaved above my knee until I was 21. Now the hair above my knee is baby fine and blonde like it was when I started shaving when I was 12 but the hair below my knees is black and stayed course and black for the entire two years I went without shaving. :tongue_smilie:

What a boob.

I agree. I enjoy the years when my birthdays, or dh's and the kids' birthdays, fall on weekends. It is always pleasant when our celebrations can fall on the actual day. I would hate to be stuck with a life time of week day birthdays. :tongue_smilie:

I have 5 girls and if they were not mine I would not realize they are sisters. I cannot get over how different they each look.

I want to say it was $30. It was a simple white sleeveless. Perfect for a wedding at Cupid's Chapel of Love. :lol:

My dh said that maybe the school called her family and so they went to go and buy it. For some reason that makes me feel really bad. I am weird.

I am sorry. I have probably made comments like those out of my on insecurities to my sil. She is tiny. I never meant them in a mean way but I can see how they could hurt. I will watch myself from now on. Thank you for being honest. :grouphug:

Yes this is what I am thinking now as well. Though my 7yo went through a pretty rough stage of taking things that didn't belong to her. Once I found her baby sister's bottle in her hiding spot. :confused: Like I said earlier, "Kids!"

I will grant your wish. She just showed up at my door with the gift card. Her dad drove her over but he didn't get out and I was too much a wimp to ask what happened. I just smiled and said, "Oh, thank you very much." She did not say anything.

Get off my back woman! Seriously, I didn't feel hounded. I was just making conversation. I have been a long time lurker and suddenly have jumped in. Might as well make the most of it. :001_smile:

I dislike having to take all 5 girls to one appointment. Often times it is a necessity though.

I know I need to address the parents. My 2yo is sick so I have to wait for my dh to get home before I can walk over there. It is a few blocks over. I am just posting here as a way to vent my feelings and gain some perspective. Initially I was quite angry but instead of stewing in that I have now recalled that I have done something similar (though worse financially).

Perhaps not. The girl told me that they had an assembly to announce that they would not be able to give them out until the new year because one little boy had sold over 300 cards and the restaurant had to order more. That is a rather elaborate cover story for not receiving them though. Unfortunately this is what I am thinking but I would be pleased to be proved otherwise. Now I have to be honest and say that I actually did that as a child which is why my mind is going there. Only my crime involved chocolate bars for the band. I think I ate $70 worth. :001_huh: Kids!

This is what I was going to do, but my dd heard me on the phone and ran out to tell her. The little girl ran home. I am not excited about talking to her parents because I have actually never met them before.
