My hippie, sexist, freeloading, selfish BIL has bedbugs and my first reaction was to laugh. And be happy for the excuse to avoid him. For eternity. Or until he burns all his stuff.
His reaction was to refuse to research proper treatment methods. He decided to throw away his mattress, do one load of laundry and call it good. And then he put a brand new mattress in the likely still infested room. He won't listen to any of us when we say he REALLY needs to treat for them the right way.
I'm pretty sure his grandparents that he "rents" the studio from will have to come in and take care of it. And he hasn't paid them rent in 5 months. I wonder if this will be what finally tips them to put the hammer down and force him to be an adult.

I swore I wouldn't be dressing my twins in the same exact outfits. My first confession is that I've been buying ALL the duplicate outfits, new and used when possible.
I've always been "too cool" to drive a van. My second confession is that we are currently looking at (used) Mercedes sprinters and I'm only slightly dragging my feet.
Re: clothes - DS has had pretty much the same wardrobe for the past year or so because whenever Gap or Gymboree have the extra 50% off the sale rack promotion, I buy the same clothes in 2-3 sizes. Or, in the case of a specific fire truck shirt from gap, he has had the same shirt since 6-12 mos size and I just took the tags off of the 2t one. So four of the same shirt, just in different sizes.

I don't have a college savings account for any of my kids but I'll be spending approximately $12K for plastic surgery (eyelid surgery and breast lift/replacement with smaller implants) later this year.
I'm Instagram friends with someone from Tx who does a weight loss clinic with a MD that's geared toward diabetes and thyroid disorders. It's like $100 a month, and it would be like telemedicine, but I'm seriously considering it after baby #3.
Then I might get plastic surgery. My one concern is what I would say to the people at work, since I'm sure I'd need to be out for some time.
My brother and 10 of his friends are going to my parents house (they live at the beach) for Memorial Day Weekend. He's 4 years younger than me, and so much cooler. I'm so jealous. I want to drink and get sloppy with the cool kids, but alas, my crippling fear of holiday traffic, no room at my moms, and well, being KU will be keeping me home.

I "hide" vegetables in Bill's food. I know you're not supposed to do that but I'm actually mostly doing it for myself… DNW to eat cauliflower unless it is hidden in a massive amount of cheese.
mrsbeachcat I do it too. Otherwise he just refuses them and I am sorry but I need the little growing dude to get his veggies. The only veggie I can get him to eat that is in his sight is corn (sometimes peas), and I don't want to eat corn every damn night!! You gets no flamez from me.
mrsbeachcat @katechristine18 We were doing this, but the little stinker caught on to us and now inspects every bite and refuses any bite that doesn't pass inspection.
He will pretty much only eat plain white rice right now. But MAN he freaking loves it.

I've got another one... We are NOT currently toilet training Bill, but if he asks to go to the potty I'll usually take him. I would say he's successful maybe 30% of the time (usually it turns out that he's already gone). Anyway, today we were standing in line to meet his favorite baseball player (dodger 3rd baseman Justin Turner--he has a big red beard and I think that's why Bill likes him) and Bill starts saying "poop" over and over. Rather than leave line to use the toilet or change him, I let Bill meet his hero with shit in his pants.
( it sort of felt like payback for him pooping on our bathroom floor last night)

mrsbeachcat and @katechristine18 we cover any meat we serve Molly in mashed potatoes so that she will eat them. If that's wrong I don't want to be right. I have a child who basically only eats veggies and potatoes. Which is why she weighs approximately 19 pounds.

Molly and I went to the lab week ice cream social at my work today. We stopped at Wendy's on the way there for chicken nuggets. She basically had ice cream for lunch and I'm undecided on making a frozen pizza for dinner. I'm definitely not winning any nutrition MOTY awards today.
