Friday time!

Good Morning Ladies!

Not to bring the thread down first thing but the morning has started with my gram calling me all upset because she had another blowout with my Mom and essentially is being booted out and looking for an apartment. Damn it, breaks my heart. I am so caught in the middle, its a horrible place to be.

On a happier note the weather is gorgeous today! I really need to try and think of something nice for MH but am lost with ideas right now!

What's up with all you??!

[judyblume14]

Ugh, I remember you talking about the tension between your Gram and parents a while back. I'm sorry, that sucks so bad.

Thanks, yeah its really bad, she was crying and everything. I just can't believe that this is happening. I mean family is everything isn't it?

[judyblume14]

jt2378, is your mom being unreasonable, or do they just butt heads?

do you want me to post another gross confession to take your mind off things jt2378 lol

of course, lol

[jt2378]

judyblume14, Both I would say. They communicate really bad but my mom is saying some really mean shit because she is so frustrated and doesn't know how to express it without being hurtful

[doglover31]

jt2378 sorry about everything going on with your Gram!

[jt2378]

@giamia923, ,my friend did this once and it was days, lol. She ended up being fine but yes scary with TSS!

[doglover31]

@giamia923 missing tampon is pretty gross lol. And that your H found it...haha

[doglover31]

So I think for Father's Day I am making H an album of pictures of him and little man. And the front I will make a creative sheet that says "Let Me Tell You About My Best Friend". I am also going to get him a cooler and stuff it full of goodies.

Morning! Missed another week here, been handing out love tits as I slowly work my way through the threads. So busy this week and into the weekend.

For Mother's Day my husband got me some make-up that I wanted and helped J make a card. So I got him a book he wanted and will do a card with J. I need to figure out something for my dad ... I'm thinking golf balls. We never send anything to FIL, just a card.

I need help with gel nails. I got them for the wedding and they told me to come back to have them removed. I've heard so many people say not to do it yourself because it will ruin your nails. How accurate is this? My nails were starting to peel up at the bottom so I couldn't help but start peeling them off yesterday, but I don't want to screw up my nails. Do I need to pay the money to have the nail people remove it?

You should pay the money, however that being said, I peel them all the time. Didn't you just get them like last week? They should last a few weeks.
When you peel them it takes the top layer of the nail with it I think, at least that's what it looks like to me, and it makes your nail really thin and frail.

designaddiction, yes I got them a week ago. One nail started peeling up at the bottom and then I couldn't stop myself from messing with them. So I will take responsibility for half of this problem.

Haha this is very confusing advice. I'm hearing this as a "do what I say, not as I do" situation.

Yes, you heard it right! The only time I go in to have the take it off, is when they are putting it right back on again. Otherwise I peel it, and then loath the way my nails look for a bit.

[jt2378]

Thanks so much for your support and kind words ladies

I really appreciate it

[jt2378]

N40Mom, I'm of no help, I have never had gel nails

[judyblume14]

@giamia923, that's totally gross. But not surprising. Once my H and I were fooling around and he was like "OMG. Um, are you wearing a tampon?" Indeed I was. It had only been in that day, and it was the end of my period, but I was grossed out and embarrassed. I ave a friend who has forgotten about her last tampon of the cycle...twice. And both times it was for WEEKS. None of those cases led to TSS... miraculously.

N40Mom, the thought of peeling those nails off gives me the heebie jeebies. Please go have them removed!

[spacedcadet]

RE: Gel nails - I just had mine done about a month or so ago. When I got them I thought, "so pretty, why don't I do this more often?" Then when they started coming off so I peeled them, "my nails look terrible, I'm never getting gel nails again." So basically for me, 2 weeks of pretty, 1 month or more of brittle thin nails.

Sorry about your grandma issues jt2378. I hope you can find a good solution for her.

@giamia923 - That freaks me out just to think about.

doglover31 - That is such a cute idea. I am not good at that and MH is very picky so his presents are never really all that thoughtful.

[spacedcadet]

Sad news alert!

We had to put my dog to sleep today. H took her. I'm so sad. We had her for 13.5 years. She was the best dog ever. Her health is really bad though, so I am mostly ok with it. I'm trying not to cry at work too much. This evening will probably be pretty hard. Anyway, just had to get that out somewhere.

[spacedcadet]

And of course that would be top of the page. blah.

[doglover31]

N40Mom when I had gel nails I just pulled them off. It can damage your nails but I just got frustrated with them one day and decided it was time for them to go.

[doglover31]

@spacedcaddet I'm so sorry

[judyblume14]

Guys. I have ONE more gosh darn assignment to complete. Then I'm doing this for an hour or two

*poof*  ... i'm going swimming

[judyblume14]

spacedcadet, oh my gosh, I missed your post. I'm so, so sorry. What a horrible decision to have to make. But now your puppy won't have to suffer anymore. Hugs.

[melw629]

jt2378 sorry about the situation with your gram.

spacedcadet sorry about your dog. Even when you know it's the right decision, it's hard to lose a pet.

[jt2378]

spacedcadet, So many hugs, I'm truly sorry. Losing them is like losing a family member. I'm sure you have so many happy memories with her and hope that gives you some comfort.

[spacedcadet]

Thanks everyone. I'm doing ok right now. so that is something, I guess.

[jt2378]

@giamia923, how far are you from Saratoga?

[jt2378]

Now I just talked with my brother and feel even worse, WTF?! Literally everyone is acting like my gram means nothing. Thank god MH is being supportive and rational. I am ready to crack open a beer right now, my nerves are so shot. I'm sorry to be AW'ing the thread today

[judyblume14]

Wow, @kait20122014! Good luck with PTing. It's so interesting to see how different all the S14 kiddos are!

For L, she sat on the (regular) toilet Wednesday night after bathtime. Didn't pee or anything, but we wiped her, and let her flush. She wanted to sit on it again just to flush. In the past when we've sat her on there, she has freaked out. So, that was our first successful baby step.

[judyblume14]

omg, I'm seriously going to need you guys to spoiler all of your gross talk about fingernail scraping

I'm contemplating getting a manicure because I'm traumatized.
