Ugh! We always use TurboTax! Good thing we haven't filed yet this year. I guess it is time for a change.

Wow. Just wow.

Dinner rotation. Today is Tuesday, so Taco Tuesday. Yes, every Tuesday. Actually, tonight it's fajitas because we have an overabundance of bell peppers, but you get the drift. Don't complain or you'll be hungry. Child, if you don't like it learn to cook, then *you* can cook what *you* want. Oh, you don't want to cook, then don't complain!

My mom has. She explains it as feeling paralyzed, but seeing and hearing everything. She mentioned it to the drs. upon waking and they blew her off until she told them what they said. Multiquote not working...How are you all waking from a D&C? I had one after a miscarriage and all they did was give me a spinal. Same with wisdom teeth. I had three removed at once with no sedation.

What the?? How could one possibly do that??

We know a James Bond. His cell phone's last 3 digits are 007. Dh asked me once why he did that with his cell. My reply? Wouldn't you?

We have them tithe 10%, save 1/2, and let them spend the rest.

I have heard that before. Sad. I am glad there are alternatives!

personalized *discount* stationery?

fyi: most of those use peanut oil. We found this out when a friend's DD with a very severe peanut allergy had a reaction to one. It is often not listed because it is not a food item.

Sorry, should've been more specific. The family, as a whole. If it were just me I'd do the coffee too!

Yes! However reading independently is valuable as well. I would still require them to read alone, even 20-30 minutes a day.

when you are running out the door for evening events?

In stockings, yes. As a main present, no. As part of an outfit in one box, yes. For example: shirt, pants, socks, and undies in one wrapped box or box stack.

this.

Filling up at $1.79 right now. Oklahoma.

Manchego. It's a whole sheep's milk cheese imported from Spain. It is similar in flavor to parmesan.

In this particular instance both were private messages. This answered my questions. Thank you.

Find a sweatpants alternative uniform and google capsule wardrobes. I love maxi dresses in the summer. In winter I will wear a knee length skirt with leggings and flats or skinny(ish) jeans and a fitted top. I might add a scarf or jacket when I dash to the store, but my family gets my best.

I wear at home what I wear out. I do have special outfits that are only worn for dressier events like Sunday morning worship service or a special date night with dh. Aside from that I dress in a way that I would not be embarrassed if I had a quick store run. I feel better when I dress better and prefer to set an example for my children. I rarely let them lounge in pajamas or sweats, and don't think it is appropriate for me to either.

I was under the impression that one could not tell whom had looked on one's facebook page, yet twice in the last day two different people have commented about seeing who had seen a certain post/message. Is it possible?

Scavenger hunt sounds fun. Candy coal in addition to other stocking stuffers, yes. Gas-x sounds like its pushing it a bit. Maybe give it to her at another time, but not Xmas morn. The gifts on the porch? No. *I* would cry if someone did that to me, I can't imagine a 8-9 year olds reaction.

Selfies? Show some class, people. Taking advantage by charging $100? He should be charged with a crime, albeit a minor one. I can't imagine the fear a Muslim woman living in Astrailia must be feeling now. The ride with you campaign is very comforting. Yay to whomever started it!!!

Oatmeal raisin cookies are one of the main reasons I have trust issues. Replace those raisins with chocolate chips and I might be won over for a bit. (At least until the cookie is gone.) Technically not a Christmas cookie, but really, who gets stuck on technicalities when it comes to cookies!?

Skipping, weird but good exercise. Walk, run, walk, run....C25K. walking backwards with a stroller(??!!??)...really weird.
