You deserve it.
It doesn't bother me at all. I made a comment, someone replied, there is no need at all to continue the discussion unless I want to.
My god, how far behind must the Utah schools have been for Mississippi schools to be ahead!
It's absolutely mind boggling that one-third apparently do think a frozen embryo is a person.
I spoke with someone last week who wants armed drones at the border, ready to shoot to kill.
Man's inhumanity to man...a term coined in the 1700s and we still have not learned to value life.
It really depends on your level of tolerance. I recommend really developing tolerance for "things out of place" and learn not to confuse that with "dirty house."
Put some baskets out to round up toys. Involve your children in picking up. If they are old enough to pick a toy up, they're old enough to put it in the basket. But remember, toys strewn about are the sign of children who love to play, so don't let it stress you!
Do what my mom recommended: Give your house a lick and a promise! Keep floors and surfaces reasonably clear, dust at eye level and down when you have time, dust mop the floors as often as you can. Keep Lysol wipes in the bathroom and wipe the lavatory, counters and toilet daily. Those are the areas your children will come in contact with daily, so those are the areas you try to get to. Wash dishes as you go and let them drip dry...I frequently used drip dried dishes without them ever getting put away between meals! And don't stress! Kids really read our moods and it's better they have a relaxed happy momma than a spotless house.
As your kids get older, normalize their participation in keeping their living space clean.
Here is the most important and vital advice I have to give: People before things. People, even little ones, always come first. Tend to your babies and enjoy them and their little messes! I am 71 so my children are grown. They do not talk about how our ceiling fans were dusty. They talk about how I would get down on the floor and play with them, how I read to them, how I let them use couch cushions, tables, chairs and blankets to build forts.
You're in the thick of it right now, so it probably feels like this stage of your life will last forever. The days are long, but the years are short. They will be grown in a blink of your eye, so don't miss their childhood. That ceiling fan can wait!
No problems with my Verizon service.
Oh man, you just brought Royal Rangers and Missionettes to the forefront of my memory. Religion is crazy, isn't it?
We don't care 'bout no constitution. We gon discriminate when and where we want, and you'd best not come after OurPreciousSecondAmendment, neither.
But seriously, they can't refuse to issue marriage permits, right?
Bananas. Uggghhh, that slimy texture. Texture is hugely important to me.
My food cannot touch on the plate. And I will eat my foods separately, too. All the veggies until they're gone, then all the meat and so on.
Shirts cannot touch too closely around my underarms and neck, so I'm sadly usually wearing shirts a size or two too big.
No tags, ever.
During cold weather, I wear sweatpants & shirts inside out because the way the seams feel next to my skin skeeves me out.
Socks make me feel claustrophobic.
I cannot sleep unless I'm naked.
Sometimes I have to pull my hair back in a very tight pony tail because it drives me crazy if it touches my face. At night, although I can't wear clothes, I must wear a little sleep cap to be extra sure my hair doesn't touch my face. (I often dream about shaving my head and feel the most exquisite relief. Then I wake up.)
I read 3 to 4 books at a time, switching out every couple of chapters. Don't know why, except that I love to read and there's so many books and so little time. I do finish them all, eventually!
There's more, but I'll spare y'all. I've been diagnosed with ADHD (it took years for my team of doctors to decide between mild autism and ADHD) and this thread is making me wonder if any of y'all divirge a bit from the norm also?
Yes, and the vin diagram that shows the comparison between the people in that group and the people who shoot down federal help for free lunches is one circle.
