Thanks to my birth control, I only get my period roughly every six months. Talk about a surprise! I really never know when it's going to happen.

Noooope. The rule in my house is you finish what you have or you get nothing else. No wasting food. Funny story though, I love how the little guy says "disguskink!", too cute :)

I really miss just having this schedule. I have to try to mesh as much of this as I can with a 40 hr/wk job :( I loved just being a housewife/stay-at-home-mom...

You're lucky. My daughter quit taking naps when she was just a bit over a year old. The only time I ever got any peace was when Dora or The Backyardigans was on, though I couldn't eat during that time or she'd immediately jump up asking me for 10,000 things :(

I never go for those "quick dry" things. Sure, your nails are dry, but they aren't set, and I've yet to come across any miracle "quick set" solution. THAT would be worth something though. Whoever comes up with that one is sure to quickly become filthy rich.

 @VickiBoomer That's what I was going to add. They're kinda like the MIA parent, except they're front and center, ignoring their kid.

I'd have wine and a surplus of Egyptian cotton sheets and more episodes of Cougar Town than you could shake a stick at.

I had the same results, and I even had my Husband pick up some honest-to-god real moleskin, it doesn't work any better. I have to keep putting it on, though it does work relatively well once it's applied.

I've come to the conclusion, after trying many recipes labeled "Best. Damn. Whatever. EVER!", that the people that think this probably have very little skill in the kitchen, and are probably just ecstatic that whatever they cooked didn't come out tasting like complete butt. Therefore they should actually be labeling the recipe "Best. Damn. Thing. I've. Cooked. Yet." It's much less misleading for the rest of us.

Dear lord, that made me laugh so hard my tummy hurts and I have tears in my eyes. I'm sorry your date went so terribly, but hey, you did find 'the one'. Thanks for the story :)

I've had problems with sauces not thickening when they're supposed to, and cornstarch doesn't always work. I have found though that sifting in flour a little bit at a time works (very little, otherwise it clumps and it's nasty), you just have to add a bit more herbs and spices, 'cause the flour makes it a little bland.

Wow. That's crazy, but good for you! I don't know if I could have done that, my contractions were so bad I was screaming for an epidural. Congratulations on your new little girl, you're lucky to have such an awesome Husband.
