    Why do I have to ask my husband to do chores around the house? When I walk around my house, several things "scream" at me that they need to be done (clothes in the dryer, dirty dishes, toys on the floor,smudged windows).

    Why do I have to get up so early to exercise, get ready for the day, etc. when he can roll out of bed and not worry about getting the kids up/fed/dressed? Then, when I want to go to bed early, he looks at me like I'm an old granny.....

    Okay, feel better.

    I totally hear this, mine often just leaves wrappers and things sitting around. it's like, geez, don't you know where the garbage is? He ONLY does chores if I explicitly ask.

    What's even worse is when they leave wrappers and things right next to the garbage can or empty dishes on the counter right next to the sink. Can't they spare the extra half movement to put the stuff where it belongs??? Gee whiz!

    I feel sorry for all of you! I met the one man in the world that LIKES to clean. weird yes and very very nice!!!

    Not nice to rub it in...:grumble: :grumble:

    the one thing he doesn't like to do though is the dishes. he doesn't like the milk that hardens in our two year olds cups that we forget about in her room. other then that I'm pretty lucky.

    your husband notices there is milk in a glass? Mine doesnt know there is a SINK in the kitchen!!
    (although in his defense he installed the entire kitchen saving us thousands of dollars!)

    well when you take the lid off of it and you almost pass out from the smell that is when I have to come in and clean them out. He's like I'm gonna Puke! He also is like that when he has to change a poopy diaper. He always asks me aren't you going to help? I say help you do what? I know not nice but I didn't decide to get myself pregnant twice he's gonna help me.:drinker:

    I woke up earlyish this morning, gave our dog her insulin injection, made eggs for breakfast, walked to the post office, library, and Subway, then used my new purple jump rope...got a lot done around my house and was overall feeling good. A few hours ago I started feeling very sick with cold symptoms out of no where...I'm talking runny nose, sore throat, scratchy voice. Now it's quarter after 7 and I feel like I want to take some Nyquil and hit the sheets...how can these things happen so quickly?

    recipe please. I brought home and baked 5 pumpkins from work and I would love a recipe to use some of it. I have decided that the first food for our little one will probably be pumpkin. :laugh:

    Recipe is SIMPLE....box of brownie mix & a can of pumpkin. I got it from the Hungry Girl Cookbook. Here's the thread I found it on...you can use cake mix or brownie mix. :flowerforyou:

    I was really weary of how thick the batter looked but they turned out GREAT!

    a bottle full of formula or breast milk rolled under my sons bed. it must have been there for over a month. I looked and looked, couldnt find it. One night we hear a loud pop in his room, enter and smell the smell from hell. I mean if Satan entered the room this would be the smell.
    The bottle had exploded UNDER my sons bed! We had to throw out the bed and the carpet.

    Funny now, NOT funny at 2 am with 3 kids crying!!! LOL:ohwell:

    She must be talking to my 3yo. He's STILL refusing to poop on the potty even though he's been peeing in the potty for 14 months. My 2yo always tells me when HE has to poop (even if it IS in his diaper), but the 3yo just doesn't get it...nor do I think he ever will. Kids. What are you going to do?!

    I just ate a Smart Ones Cookie Sundae. It was sooooooo good.
    I'm procrastinating on all the huge projects I have to do. Soooooo bad.




    I really want the other Sundae. :frown:

    mine won't tell me she will go into her room and take it off herself and then tell me. she will sit and sit on the potty and then say she is done then 2 minutes later she will do it in her pull up

    Nothing like a good conversation about poop-it really kills any cravings for food:laugh:

    That's a step in the right direction, though! Z won't even sit on the potty any more to try. He waits until nap time when I'm not around. S tinker. Good luck!!!:flowerforyou:

    My dog is very sick...restless and dry heaving and vomitting and tensing up the muscles in her neck and back...and strange gurgly noises keep coming from her stomach...she won't eat and she won't drink anything...she has a vet appointment at 3:15 (which I'm not looking forward to to begin with, but it doesn't help that I am off sick myself today and pretty much feel like blah...don't want to get dressed, let alone go to a stressful vet appointment...) The vet thinks she's dehydrated, so they will probably have to give her an IV to get some fluids into her...
