Even after having a mini freak out over our finance, I still had DH buy concert tickets to our favorite band for June. I figure I'll scrape the money together somehow or just have DH pay for them both. And if not, I can always sell a kidney or something

I am kind of jealous and shocked that a friend/frenemy has lasted longer at breast feeding than I did. I know it is not a competition and I did the best I can. I just didn't think she would even last that long.

But why wouldn't he pay for both of them? Do you split ev er y thing.

McBenny, all our bills are paid from our household account and for the most part it's 50/50. But discretionary spending (like going to a concert)comes from our own spending money. I just crunched the numbers this morning and realize after putting money towards our household bills, I have nothing leftover. Literally nothing. So yes, in general if I ask him to buy concert tickets for us to be going to a show, I'd be giving him money. We have a line item for miscellaneous stuff but that generally gets eaten up by either takeout/dinner out or stuff for the house that we need.

I totally get the bill thing but find it odd that a married couple would split tickets? However, if it works for you, that's great. I am not judging more like a "What?!"

I bounced a ball off T's head and caught it about ten times in a row yesterday.

It's a super soft ball, but the rest of my household did not think it was as funny as I did.

[karebear]

bsouls, my DH does it all the time. LO now will close his eyes to prepare himself for the ball. LOL

[karebear]

bsouls, getting him soccer ready so he can bounce a ball on his head.

I have stuff to do and I'm so not doing it.

I spent $$ on lunch and now I'm eating raw cookie dough (no eggs).

I told everyone 'no' that wanted to make my LO a smash cake. I had planned to make it all from scratch....and then realized the party is tomorrow and I'm tired. so I got a tie-die mix from the store. it will look really cool, and I only feel a *little* guilty about all the artificial colors/gmos/whatever in it. (trying hard to be gmo free and organic with lo. failing.) the #1 ingredient in both the mix and the frosting is sugar.

want to shave my german shepherd. she would look SO stupid but the hair is unbelievable. every day I literally have tumbleweeds of dog hair around the house, even though I vacuumed the night before. on that note....she ran off 2 days ago and I secretly hoped she stayed gone. I love her and she is an amazing dog, but I just can't handle having to clean floors every single day (for real).
she came back like 10 mins later.

@highpeak, I don't think your comment is flame worthy!
Animal abuse is NOT ok. Abuse is not ok!

kimberpoo lots of feels re: dog and fur and dog and fur

Sometimes I completely zone out when families are talking to me. I'm a social worker. My job is to listen. But I'm not. I know this is probably medically related but I'm watching your dry mouth and tongue trying to negotiate your lips and I wonder what a bottle of water could do for you. Would it make the stickiness in your speech go away? Would the spit balls in the corners of your lip go away? Why do you wear lipstick on your dehydrated lips- it is cracked. How does it feel to try and talk and your inside lip has fused with your teeth?

This is hilarious! Absolutely hilarious!

It's not the animal abuse i thought i'd get flamed for, it's the fact i said i hate when people hide behind their culture/heritage to excuse their actions and beliefs, the animal abuse was an example. There are so many abusive cultures out there, that it makes me mad when people use it even for something that's non abusive. I get this might be irrational of me, but when you consider (for example)things like the culture that condones little girls getting married at 8 years old and having kids (and dying in pregnancy or through child birth), it's just a crappy excuse to say "well it's my culture so it's fine".

And just to note, i'm not aiming this at anyone in particular (except the animal abuse asshole), just my general feelings.

Again, not flame worthy. Highpeak, you have lost your touch.
