    I have been in bed all day because I'm sick. As a surprise, my 11 year old and my 5 year old decided to clean the whole house for me because I have no energy to do it myself. My heart is full. I rewarded them by giving them ice cream before dinner :)

    Well someone has been a good mom and is raising some good kids. 👍 Hope you feel better soon K 😗

    So... I was raised by a single mom who was awesome and did her very best. When I was 12, I asked who my father was and she told me that it was a girl that I went to school with's dad. She told me never to tell because there was no sense in disrupting their family with something we could not prove.

    When I got older she told me this story: She began dating a cop who worked night shifts and spent much of his time with her during the day. He told her that he was married but split up from his wife. She found out that she was pregnant with me, and he split saying it wasn't his and that he was going to stay with his wife. Whatever, a few years later, my mom decides to go for child support and the court orders him to take a paternity test. My mom gets the results and it says he is not the father--- but she couldn't figure out how that could be. In those days, the courts kept photos of the testers, and when my mom went to check who had taken the test, she saw that it was not actually him. Someone else had used his ID and smudged his fingerprints and because he was a cop, he was able to get away with it. My mom didn't have the means to keep fighting it, and so she just let it be.

    10 years ago, I reached out to him on FB just to give him a chance. My mom really had no reason to lie to me, unless one of her bff's husbands fathered me lol -- which I highly doubt. He basically said my mom was a liar and had slept with everyone under the sun.

    10 years later, 23andMe and ancestry are finding alllll kinds of DNA connections, and guess who just ordered a kit. ME!!!! So here's to possibly getting some form of justice for my mom or finding out my mom has lead a much more interesting life than what we imagined!

    It's super nosy of me but now I wanna know the results 🙈 I'd bet on your momma
    Me too lol! It will only show me if one of the family members have taken the test too. Being as my mom was kind of excited for me to get the test, I’d say she doesn’t have anything to hide. But either way would be win/win. It would be nice to know, especially for family health history. We wouldn’t try to stir up any family drama with them though. I probably wouldn’t reach out to his family (maybe just him) because it really isn’t their fault. He has been married now for like 35 years and has 3 kids and based on his fb, he is dad of the year to them.

    Are these those cookies that come in that round blue tin that grandmas all over the world store all their sewing stuff, or no??

    Lol, no.. but butter cookies *are* awesome and I am always disappointed when it's sewing crap (even my own) and not actually a tin of cookies.

    A TIN OF LIES is what it is.

    I've never seen these before.

    Those danish butter cookies are actually my weakness. I can't tell you how many times I've such in people's pantries only to.bw disappointed by thimbles and other sewing paraphernalia.

    Why is anyone keeping their sewing stuff in a pantry for food though??

    Otherwise, yes.. ultra disappointment. Tellin' ya, a tin of lies.

    I bought you that 20.00 donut bed for you so you feels safe and comfortable sleeping alone just because I let you sleep in my bed on the weekends doesn't mean you get to sleep with me on Monday or any other day of the week until you learn it's not okay to lick my face at 2 a.m. you also snore and have puppy nightmares not to mention the heat that radiates from you making me feel like I'm having hot flashes now sleep

    Aww .

    Yeah, giving my DNA to "companies" sounds like a great idea. Just government fronts to build your replacement clone and erase your independent thinking original self. No thanks...😉

    or harvest your vital organs for some billionaire loser who is afraid of dying.
