JoJosMom Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 It's warm here now. At the moment. We still won't plant until around May 15, because the chance of snow is a real possibility until about Mother's Day. :huh: Ditto here. And then we feed the deer and the gophers all summer. I'm not sure why. Habit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professormom Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 I LOVE it... You have made me cool again. I can think of a few for you, but they all seem to involve profanity* (my sense of humor needs some work, I guess) Like something along the lines of "BA CommaMomma". And we all know that the BA acronym is truly the coolest adjective we middle-aged homeschooling mommas can aspire to:-) * I just realized how bad that sounded. Revised to add that, in true high school fashion, everything sounds cooler with a cuss word attached to it, lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 My daughter keeps saying I'm cooler than her. I'm not sure how. I'm just really immature for my age. I think it has something to do with having worked with preschool kids for so long. I don't want to grow up. I don't try to be cool - or uncool for that matter. I'm just weird, and allow it to hang out. That, and I actually like teens. I used to work in a high-security juvenile prison for 10-19 year old boys. I liked the job. It made me want to work with younger ones. I think we would get along well in real life. I *love* 8-12 year old boys. They are so much fun. I don't have much experience with teenagers, but I'm sure I will soon. Ah, you can be "Slayer" to Slache's "Slash." (Now it feels so junior high around here: "Everyone else has a cool nickname. Why don't I have a cool nickname? I'm never leaving my room again. Ever." [see, Slash? You weren't the only cool-challenged youth!].) We need a name for you.

When I work out I will often refer to myself as a BAMF. Not the real words though, just the acronym.

Professormom Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Right, but my younger - and oh so smarter self - would have said, "My body after kids will be awesome, because I am awesome, and my awesomeness could never fade because I won't let it." And then she would go back to being awesome... And delusional;-) Luckily, I am older and wiser now. Although I still like to rock it in the gym (when I am not taking care of the mad men:-) It makes me feel powerful. Eta: this was in response to Slache. Somebody popped in between with a question on Bravewriter and now what I said makes no sense at all, lol. Eta again: oh duh, it was Slache. I need to get off these boards, they are making me dizzy. And I haven't gotten the impression that Bravewriter is classical. It seems more geared to creative? But that was more of an impression. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our marriage was terrible in the beginning. I'm not venting, but my husband was a selfish jerk. He's changed a lot since then. Anyway, in my depression I got really fat. Like huge. I was one of *those* people. Because of that I don't have a "pre-pregnancy" body that anyone would want. Maybe that's a good thing? I love becoming healthy, and I don't think I'll be disappointed in how I look when I get to where I want to be. I still have a way to go, but I'm already a babe. ;) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also is a cruel joke that antidepressants cause weight gain. Aren't I depressed enough already? I need body image issues too? That said, I was first treated for depression shortly after my marriage. I was in very bad shape and my marriage really suffered. I also gained a lot of weight then. I've never been as heavy as I am now though, outside of pregnancy. The drug Abilify and I have a real love/hate relationship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 Well, ya'll's cursing and weirdness and pictures of epic cake fails and horse videos have cheered me a bit from this bad day! True story: I am friends with SWB on FB, and I showed my teen son a cute pictures of the lambs at her farm. Being 14, he typed "I hate you!" in the comments and thought it was so funny, only he accidentally posted (from my FB account). UGH. So now she probably won't be my BFF any more. :scared: And then when my son realized what he did, he melted down and cried. Ugh. I was just trying to show him a picture of a cute lamb and bring some distraction to our sad and sorry lots. Follow up: I erased it quickly, but then I had to post "Adorable" and apologize for my "funny" teen boy's comment. <sob> 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was nothing I could do to change that and it was so stupid of me. Unfortunately it's all too common. I remember being really thin, and really unhealthy. I'm glad I recognized it as unhealthy though. There were some big girls who could do flips around me, literally. I was inspired by them. Then, I got pregnant at 36. That'll change things! Well, actually, a couple of years prior to that, I distinctly remember hiking one day and felt my ab muscles give up the ghost. It was like, they just decided, "I ain't doin' this no mo'!" Anyway, after baby, I looked at my body (remember, 4'11", almost 9lber) and thinking I was a mess. Then decided I was going to love the skin I was in because I'm mom. I still decided to get healthy though, but in a "I want to be good to myself" way. So, remember gals, be good to yourselves! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 We met the most atrocious kids at the park. I politely corrected the 3 year old that threw out stuff on the ground and stomped on it, harshly corrected the middle two after they chose to speak to my children like trash, and had a conversation with the 10 year old after she tried to get the 7 year old to do a back flip off the monkey bars. Where were the parents you ask? Good friggen question. We left quickly. Those children were horrid and two of them tried to steal our stuff. By stuff I mean bubbles, and I know that bubbles is crack to kids, but don't steal. Just don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
