Somebody slap me silly to remove all baby thoughts from my brain!!!!

NOOOOO! Think back to that exhausting day you had the other day - the one you outlined in your Facebook status. Concentrate hard on THAT.

I can relate in a way - I get PUPPY yearnings every two or three years. Then I remember the whining, the crying, the late night potty runs, the accidents, the chewing, etc.

Hi Jen, I'll do it for you. Every once in a while I have a pang of babyitis, but, then I remember my two that had colic and didn't sleep and that cures me right up. Plus, now both my girls are in school and I can't imagine starting all over again.

We saw New Moon last night - it was great!!! Isabella wasn't scared at all, the only time she closed her eyes was when Carlisle was stiching up Bella's arm. By the way, it is wrong that I had dreams of a 17 year old werewolf, because if it is, I am in trouble.

Jen SLAP!!!!
Another baby means 5 more years at home, just saying!

 

[jeanigor]

In three months, he will be an 18 year old werewolf. And then you can be called a cougar.

 

[katscradle]

Cherry. Its what was requested.

Oh, my favorite!

 

[spaddy]

Morning DAP friends!

Sorry I am late to the party this morning, I had to stop at the pie shop and pick up a pie for tomorrow. Yes, I know its not cake, and its store bought, but it is 1000 times tastier than what I could have whipped up.

There was a line 13 people long when I got there at store opening. For PIE!

I love this time of year. Next three days of being in line at the store in the wee hours of the morning!

My DH is off to the bakery this morning to get a cake. Yes, we are havnig cake on Thanksgiving. I will take any reason to have cake.

 

[jeanigor]

Oh, my favorite!

I prefer pecan, or shoofly, or pumpkin. But she said cherry so that's what I got.

Hmmm, when you put it that way it seems not so pervy on my part. I wonder if werewolves and cougars get along?

No worse than Nicole's peeping Tom elf on a shelf....

I am late checking in this morning.
I have had a busy morning!
Took the boys to timmys for breakfast, then to the drugstore to pick up our shots.
Then took the boys to the doctor for their physicals and shots.
Then home got the boys off to school.
Changed over the laundry, got another load in.
Now I am off to the doctors with John for our physicals and shots.
Then I have to go to the bank, and hairdressers.
I should be home by 3pm.
Then more laundry and packing to do.
I don't think I will be on the boards much today.
So everyone have a good day.
I had a sad moment this morning, but life goes on.

I don't know what shoofly is, never heard of it!

 

[wildfan1473]

Good morning everyone! A gray and dreary day here today, and to top it off, the kids are off school.

Somebody slap me silly to remove all baby thoughts from my brain!!!!

SLAP!!!!!!!

I know, I go through this every once in a while. We had always said if we adopted 2 boys or 2 girls, we would go back for a third. I have my boys, and I keep getting these girl pangs. We actually had a girl picked out when we were in Russia, she was Jacob's best friend, and he went nowhere without her. We knew she had a sister that we would have to take also, but then we found out she also had an older special needs brother, and an infant brother, all in the system and all would have to go together To this day, we still think about her.

When it comes down to it, though, I am content with my children. But, for us at least, it's not so easy as deciding to just "have" a baby. And the first 2aren't paid for yet

But then, I think about what today is...it's Jacob's 8th birthday, and we have been through so much the last 3 1/2 years. He had such a rough beginning in life, and he has come so far and overcome so much. I am so proud of him. We have now celebrated as many birthdays with him as we missed. Would I do it again? In a heartbeat.

Change of subject - I have a dilemma. My laptop is dying quickly. I posted a thread about it http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=2338154, and I'm looking for advice about what to replace it with. Any input or suggestions would be appreciated.

Just sayin'

Perhaps proof that Dodie is SMART!

 

[jeanigor]

I don't know what shoofly is, never heard of it!

From Wiki:

Shoofly pie (or shoo-fly pie) is a fluffy molasses pie considered traditional among the Pennsylvania Dutch and also known in Southern cooking.

The term "shoo-fly pie" first appeared in print in 1926.[1] The pie may get its name because the molasses attracts flies that must be "shooed" away [2], but is more likely an anglicization of "souffle", the well-known dessert.

A Montgomery pie is similar to a shoofly pie, except lemon juice is usually added to the bottom layer and buttermilk to the topping.[3] A chess pie is also similar, but it is unlayered and made with corn syrup.

Good luck Pete. Congratulations Corey!

 

[AnneR]

Best of luck Pete - I am glad you are staying on the Podcast.

 

[Annette_VA]

That about sums it up!

 

[Dodie]

I'm now feeling only partially smart - although I think Kevin decreed that originally because my advice about jumping to conclusions was sound.

I'm glad to learn that we'll still hear Pete's voice on the podcast and especially curious about the "new format" for the podcast next year.
