Ever since we settled on a good high-quality food for our dog, he smells like warm laundry fresh out of the dryer.

That sounds lovely. My dog smells like warm corn chips after she's been sleeping for a while.

The corn chip smell is sweat.

Poor M is so sick. He woke up the last two days with he used stuck shut. He was so sad when I left for work, after having 4 days off, it was the saddest thing ever. I'm leaving work and taking him to the dr. in a bit. I hope he feels better soon, it's breaking my poor little heart.

I would be so sad if someone stole my milk. It's bad enough when I spill it all over myself.

Hugs freezorburn and abby

We had a dog we always said smelled like Fritos after she had been sleeping.

Good luck at the doctor, I hope you can get M some relief. 

Maybe it wasn't supposed to, but your comment about spilling milk on yourself made me laugh out loud. It's the WORST. And it leaves the worst marks on clothes because it's so fatty! Not sure what about this is so funny, actually....

I need 60 more posts after this one to become Not-a-n00b. *sigh*

My dog is afraid of her butt after she farts.

M has some Caillou bath toys that she loves chewing/sucking on, but I just noticed the paint coming off the nose one. Should I scrap them all?

Yep. Same smell. It's the yeast that develops in the hot sweaty areas. I used to call my dog Frito or Little Corn Chip for the same reason.

UPDATE for anyone who remembers: My meningitis patient did not have meningitis. All is well in this womb, thanks for the kind words and thoughts!

TJ and @nanaosaki, can we pin the old FAQ up on this page?

No!  Never!!

I mean, maybe once there are official mods who have stickying power.

[TJ]

I copied and pasted them into a word doc so they still exist in case people delete content.

Some toys are painted with non-toxic paint, like Sophie the Giraffe, and it's supposed to be safe to Ingest. Can you look these up to see if they're safe first?

I took the boys for a walk this afternoon. L fell asleep, so I wound up walking nearly an hour. The weather was gorgeous. My legs feel all rubbery now, but the endorphin high is so incredible!

We just got M a potty. Omg. This is a new stage I'm not ok with :-(

Well there you are! Don't worry, buying a potty =/= potty trained. Trust me.

I wanted to ask for an update in the pact thread...but since you didn't mention it, was worried.

So glad it was negative!

Were you looking for me? I had another stupid meeting most of the day then came home cuz I feel like crap. It's either the stomach bug developing or I'm pregnant. It's so fun wondering which. It's ok M already rejected the first reading of the potty book that came with it.

I mean, not specifically. But I noticed you weren't here. Didn't know what could possibly be more important. Fx it's the latter!!

Jo had her 15 month apt today and got three shots. Then we went to the mall and played. She is a social butterfly and loves being around other kids. She did get too excited and pushed another little girl. I felt bad because the other girl was completely done playing after that. Her dad and her hung out for about 15 min after and she never went back to play.

How do I find this out? It's Caillou Bathtime Safari

I did and it didn't say anything. MIL bought them and she said that she asked about them being safe to chew and they are, but I don't even know what that means.

I had my first honest-to-goodness, real solid food meal tonight, since getting blindsided by DH over the weekend. H is traveling for a few days, so we've boarded the dog, which meant DS and I weren't in any hurry to get home after DC. I was all ready to heat up some leftovers at home, when we were walking by Cafe Rouge and he said he wanted fries. So in we went, and we had a lovely dinner. DS had chicken strips and fries and I had a minute steak, fries and green beans. Simple enough that my stomach could handle it. I think it helped that I had spent the bus ride doing some positive visualization, thinking about the fresh start that DS and I are going to make when this mess is all sorted out.

It's been an exhausting week. I feel like Friday is already here, and I'm panicking because everywhere I have called around has long waits to get in to see a relationship counselor. FX that something turns up soon. I also now have a short list of lawyers to look at, but I am oh so tired. I think I am going to call it an early night.

I've made a ton of socks into baby leggings. I usually just take any of my knee high socks that get holes in the toes or heels and use this method. Works great! I love them! And I love getting a second life out of socks that I loved so much I couldn't throw away but wouldn't wear. Wish my kid would keep them on for more than two minutes, but soon I'll have a new baby who can't avoid my outfit choices!! Let me know if you have any questions about making them. 

I just tried this in a ghetto way by just cutting off the holey foot parts. L is wearing them right now

Please take care of yourself Freezor. My mom lost a ton of weight too when my dad walked out and it was so scary. Glad you were able to find a peaceful place in your head.

Making TJ's chicken tonight for the first time!
