    Meanwhile, I have been under calorie goal for 3 days in a row, and have steadily climbed .2 lbs a day since. :lol:

    Wait I looked at my log. I lied. 2 days in row. What the heck?! :tongue: The day I gorged myself on mexican, I hit a new low on the scale. Wait... Maybe I'm on to something here. I vote we start the "Mexican and margaritas" diet. Take that Paleo!

    Now you're talking my language!!!

    Mine, too!!

    Hugs to @Crafty_camper123 and @Lois_1989, chugging along and not seeing the rewards for your labor is hard. Meanwhile, I am over here not even logging and wanting to maintain while I let my abs heal and I have lost almost 4 pounds since Monday. What the kitten was my gallbladder doing that caused me not to lose??

    What a miracle! I remember reading about this years ago. It's amazing how accurate the age progression photo was.

    Ridiculous!

    That poor family. It almost sounds like that guy wanted to go back to jail.

    Maybe your gallbladder weighed 4 pounds? Not that I know the size of a gallbladder... I imagine it’s tiny.

    I hope the child/now teen is alive & has been somewhere safe this whole time.

    It also made me remember this case

    I have seen the path report, it weighed around 30 grams and had two 1.7 cm stones in it. Definitely not enough to explain the loss. (for comparison a typical uterus weighs 250-500 grams when they weigh it after a hysterectomy)

    I hope it gets better for you soon Nicole.

    So maybe I am an awful person, but to all those dad friends who just moan and whinge about how they have no fun any more and their whole lives have changed, I am judging their dad and husband skills majorly. Of course your life is going to change, kids are a massive upheaval, but you can change too to adapt and enjoy. Sure my husband gets less time to build robots than he did before, but he gets more time to play with the kids which he loves.

    Also, I am so rolling my eyes at any husband who complains the wife has let herself go and that he isn't getting any. She will KNOW he feels that way even if he hasn't said it to her, and that will not help her feel sexy. And chances are she has even less time to herself than he does, so if he expects her to 'look after' herself, he needs to step up and give her the opportunity before complaining to his childless mates.

    Your husband will step up, and he will be fine. And you'll probably have less sex for a while, but your relationship is strong enough to ride through that, you'll be ok.

    Anyway, rant over. Tldr: unimpressed at man who is shocked life changing event changes his life.

    Well said!

    Just found out today the boy is having his grommets operation and possible adenoids removal next Wednesday! There was a cancellation and this drops right during the Easter holidays so I jumped at the chance. Bit shocked, but rather get it over and done with before he starts school at the end of the month. Dreading the general anaesthetic, but distracting myself by organising fun activities to do while he recovers. So much play dough equipment...

    Gromments?
    Best of luck to him and you ❤

    Hope all goes well for your boy!

    And as to your rant: RIGHT?!?!

    That’s what I was thinking. I can’t eye roll hard enough. Men will always be Peter Pan.

    Not all men.

    Anne-Marie, I agree. I remember going on a women's retreat with my church when Tamara was 5 and Ian was 2. The moms got to talking about where the kids were and I said mine were at home with Denni. Someone actually said, "You let your husband babysit?" I replied, "He's not babysitting. He's parenting his children like he always does.". And I have heard him tell new dads to stay home and do laundry for their wife instead of coming to guys night out.

    OMG I HATE when someone calls it babysitting. So ridiculous!!

    Someone to take care of him.
    However, he is 9 years older than the missing boy. You can clearly see the difference between a 23 year old man and a 12 year old boy!

    Grommets are drain tubes in his ears to prevent ear infections. It's better than multiple rounds of antibiotics that don't work anyway because the fluid is just sitting behind the ear drum instead of making it into the Eustachian tubs to drain to your throat and away. They're super tiny so I think grommet is actually a better word.

    First thunderstorm of spring 2019 is in the books. The weather guys didn't predict it and my dog is a nervous wreck now. She hates thunder.

    Eww! I bet you guys don't need much more rain. How much damage did all the flooding do by the previous rains?
