Tagless & Formerly Tagless...Home of the Dancing Babnanas

[Smileybug]

Yep. I got to walk two alpaca's today. That was cool.

Look what I found for you....

GOOD MORNING YA'LL

I hope today is full of warm fuzzies for you.

​

Well, I'm sure the day will be warm and I have some masses of cat fur floating around, so I guess it will also be fuzzy.

I'm supposed to go to dinner with my dad and his wife for my birthday tonight. Since my mom died, our relationship is very strained. To show that he and she have no clue who I am, the past 2 years for my birthday they bought me very nice expensive jewelry. A sapphire/diamond ring and earrings. That is so not my thing. The rings I wear are my wedding/anniversary ring and one I had made from the diamonds my mother always wore (her ring and 2 earrings into a 3 stone ring.) The earrings I never take out were from my DH over 9 years ago as a "thanks for having my kid" gift. And now, DH just told me they plan to give me a necklace to go with the other stuff that I never wear (and they have noticed I never wear.) Even though I have worn the same necklace DH gave me on our first Christmas as a married couple. So while it is very nice, it just shows they don't really know me if they keep giving me really expensive stuff that I have no use for. I am so not a "change my diamonds with my outfit" kind of person. That is good money that could otherwise be spent on Disney.

Hey! Someone finally fixed the "formerly" on the thread title. For the longest time it's been "formely".

I have no advice for family situations. I'm in the middle of the same type of thing myself. And have been for years. When my mom died the dynamics of my family were so messed up. The one thing that my situation has done for me is to make me realize how important that MY family is. Their security, safety, togetherness and happiness are the most important things to me. Home is our safe and secure place. Hubby and I have done everything possible to ensure that our kids stay close and always take care of each other. Just in general, stay in each others lives in a good way. When I posted earlier about wishing everyone a day of warm fuzzies. That is how I feel about our family (kids and hubby) I am soooo in love with all of them. Anything on the outside of our circle is just that. On the outside. If its good...then great!! If it isn't...well, at least I can go home to our safe place. As far as your jewerly goes...maybe you could wear those pieces to your dinner to honor your dad. Just to make him smile. I'm sure one day your DD's will enjoy wearing them for special occasions.

Wow, you are observant.

DH and I have done pretty much the same thing. We've decided to create our own family with us as the core and our closest friends nearby (ironically, all Disney fanatics.) Well, I can't wear the jewelry tonight because DH wasn't supposed to tell me about the necklace. He just didn't want me to give my very bad fake happy face. He says it looks more like someone just slapped me. So if I wear the stuff they already gave me, they'd know DH spilled the beans. My dad called to ask his opinion and DH told my dad I wouldn't likely wear it because all the stuff I wear has sentimental value. I'm hoping that means he takes the necklace back and gives me something else. Or just nothing would be fine.

I like the Micky babnana in your siggy. I guess we have all been Mickey babnanas from the start.

Thank you! It was the perfect birthday gift for this Mickey babnana!

So, if you have been booed by creativeamanda. I guess that means you have been Mickey babnana'd by me. Never mind. That sounds kind of lewd.

And that is exactly why I didn't put it. Though last year people were being "pickled" by others all the time. I guess it wouldn't be as bad to be "babnana'd"

My youngest is now 2 and a half and has had no interest in potty training. So today I've decided to sit a potty in front of the TV and let her go without pants. She can sit on that potty all day. I currently have a tray next to her so she can eat while on the toilet. I did close off all my rooms with carpet, just in case she wanders away from the toilet and still has no pants on.

You are one brave soul.

 

[Mean Queen]

Hmm. It's kind of working. She was standing next to me to tell me something when I felt a warm splash on my foot. It surprised both of us, so she stopped mid-stream. I got her to go back and sit on the potty and finish. She stood up and said "Look, mommy! Water! I made water! I get candy." So now she's sitting back on the cleaned up potty enjoying a few M&M's. I'm sure you are all enthralled with my potty training tales.

 

[SadieDog]

Mean Queen, good luck with the potty training. Maybe your Dad thinks if he spends a lot of $ on you that it will show to you how much he cares. Some people think that way. I am not one of them. Of course I have never had anyone buy me expensive gifts either. You could look at the jewerly as something you can pass to your girls someday.

Have a wonderful Birthday Weekend!

 

[Smileybug]

Hello, hello, hello. I'm back. Okay...you don't all have to run screaming from your computers all at once.

 

[SadieDog]

It was chilly and wet at the field hockey game. It's 50's and raining. Glad to be home. We are going to have a lazy evening at home. Maybe there is something good on TV or we can pop in a movie.

Chilly, rainy lazy evenings at home. That's the best kind!! I really hope you enjoy yours.

I feel guilty b/c I don't feel like watching the debate. I'm not in the mood.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm hoping for anwers to questions I have. I hope you decide to watch.

I probably will. I had planned on it all along then I don't know what happened to me. Not feeling myself I guess. If they would actually answer questions, that would be good. I don't want to hear dancing around them. GIVE AN ANSWER.
