  • Me (joking): "So kids, what did you get me for Christmas?" 7 year old (totally serious): "We didn't get you anything yet, you have to go to the store and pick it out for yourself after Christmas." "You can pick whatever color you want. Like green. O…
  • Well, with the forum closing in a couple of days, I thought I'd do one last post on here. I feel like the forum closing is almost symbolic to me, in that I am approaching a new phase of my life. I found MMSL 5.5 years ago when I was heavily pregnan…
  • I already have 2 gmail accounts - one is my full name, the other has a G+ account linked to it. Not super keen on making a third account...  So... nobody creep on me, alright?
  • Well this is a shock to come on here to find this morning. I've been on this forum since the very beginning and I spun my wheels for quite some time trying not to address the turd in the punchbowl, but we got there in the end. I've backed off a lot …
  • With the year winding down (and I will not be sad to see it go!)... I have been looking over my spreadsheets of what I've been doing to make a difference in our lives, financially. I started it sort of on a whim and so its not as detailed as I would…
  • I bought myself H one of these today...
  • Great update @Roses. I second the calendar. I printed out a little weekly planner I found on Pinterest and put it in a page protector sleeve and put it on the fridge. Every Sunday I write down (with dry erase marker) what is going on for the week a…

  • My kids are gingers, so perhaps that's why I thought this was so awesome.
  • Kid: "Mom, I want to watch the show with mazangiana in it." Me: "Um... what?" Him: "Mozantna?" Me: "I don't get it" Him: "Nuhsantag?" Me: "Seriously... What are you trying to say?!" Him: "It has a cat in it. He likes... maaaaa saaaaaaag aaaaaanttttt…
  • Unexpected period is the reason for the struggles with food these last several days. My cycle is about as irregular as usual and I'm not tracking BBT or anything anymore, so I never know when the ol' Aunt Flo is gonna arrive. PMS is also not general…
  • @HildaCorners I'm actually thinking that I should just stick to the basics and face it one food choice at a time. Also get back to implementing intermittent fasting. I feel like I do the best when I simplify everything as much as I can. I also don…
  • ARGH. I was doing SO GOOD through November, but then Thanksgiving came along and I gave myself permission to do less good and I'm struggling to get - and stay - back on track. I'm not really angry with myself for the slip-ups. I know I'm never going…
  • Most subdivisions around here don't allow chickens and no "livestock" are allowed in city limits, so here you can simply post on Facebook that you have spare eggs from your chickens and they'll be snatched up. Don't limit yourself to Farmer's Market…

  • I just wanted to throw out there... Your husband's PTSD is not your problem to fix. You can't fix him. Quit reading about it and diagnosing him from the Internet. You need to push him to a qualified doctor. That is the only thing you can do for him.…

  • Nutritionist appointment today. I told her I have decided to just go low carb, and she was supportive of the plan. She said overall she's quite impressed with me, because my focus is not on the scale or any type of fast fix to this. She said that I …
  • Down by 11.4 pounds as of this morning. Thanksgiving caused a slight upswing on the scale, but that's reversed now. And it doesn't matter anyway, because what I focused on was NOT letting Thanksgiving derail me. That said, I'm going to try harder on…
  • Kickboxer said: Probably just the stomach bug I have right now, but this actually made me gag lol.
  • I ordered a little Chromebook last week, and it came last night. Yay! H was initially annoyed with me when I ordered it, because I "didn't spend enough money" and I "should have waited and gotten something really nice". I just shook my head at him a…
  • _io said: Pinterest is your friend.  Search for low-carb pumpkin.  I myself just pinned a great blog post with multiple pumpkin recipes.  Because pumpkin.   I am not really into pumpkin this year. H got me a pumpkin spice latte and I en…
  • I have (hopefully) just completed the last IUD-period EVER. And it was awful. Bad enough I tried to pull the IUD myself in the shower, but I couldn't get a grip on the strings. I am still trying to recover energy from the heavy flow on Saturday. I f…
  • Seeing as these conversations are long, drawn out, hurtful, and a DLV (on both ends)... Can you not just opt out of them? STFU seems like the way I would handle this. Every time you talk for 3 hours like this, you are feeding the cycle. He gets th…

  • 7 year old received a rubber band with a paper clip on it AND a sparkly rock with dirt on it from his crush yesterday. He showed me the rock and then said, "I know you want me to throw it outside, but it's from my FRIEND and I can't throw out a pres…
