Your honesty and frankness is soooooooooo WONDERFUL!! <BR/>And can I just say as another woman with boobs that MOVE and hang low, oh so low, I can't find a bathing suit to keep them still and it BUGS!<BR/>I LOVE YOU!Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08443190055301611957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685045962561762263.post-33311046122152384672007-06-19T22:22:00.000-07:002007-06-19T22:22:00.000-07:00Ok, so I know this is a little late, but I had a b...Ok, so I know this is a little late, but I had a busy week last week. Anyway, since I have been a parent for one whole week, let me tell you how to fix your situation.....HA!!! Just kidding! I have no idea what the hell I am doing! I am just glad Kiersten is quiet for the most part!!! Sounds pretty normal to me! Our parents didn't screw us up too bad, I don't think! I mean my therapy bills haven't REALLY been too expensive!! About the same a an average student loan!! That isn't too much, is it?!?! heheheh!! Anyway, all I know is ya do the best you can, and your kids are gonna screw up, and they will probably hate you in verious degrees for a number of years. I think we all go through that, and I think our kids will. The trick is that they still turn out to be good people, and at some point they at least learn to tolerate you. That's my dose of wisdom, I guess, from my vast experience. That, and when boys come over to see your daughter, be cleaning all of your guns at the same time. Then beging talking to the young man about what a hollow-poing .45 round does to the human body! I am hoping that will keep Kiersten single until she is at least 25!!!!! Later!Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09935743118417550190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685045962561762263.post-30907508331693831002007-06-15T10:54:00.000-07:002007-06-15T10:54:00.000-07:00I added you to my links.

How do babies get out? Can I see? I have boobs but they never watched me take my shirt off. Joe doesn't get to either. Do you believe that? ha Be thankful you have small children. Don't I repeat don't push them to grow to be teenagers. They half way listen as children. lol Good luck saggy boobs! lol I just had a thought I am older than you, nursed 6 kids and a couple xtras now and again. I don't think mine "fall" as much as your describe yours doing. lolJanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14821341174640963970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685045962561762263.post-69756682327332447492007-06-14T20:14:00.000-07:002007-06-14T20:14:00.000-07:00OK Sarah I think seriously we should go have a dri...OK Sarah I think seriously we should go have a drink. I will have a large Tokyo Tea and you can have a huge Coke. We will recap some of the horro storeys of people I know and how they have turned out and then we will recap the fact that you are doing a great mom job and that you are just really a worry wart. And then we will Dance and not care who sees it and then when we are done you cane drive me home LOLThe RealFatmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17920653932121530891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685045962561762263.post-86392494320291694552007-06-14T17:52:00.000-07:002007-06-14T17:52:00.000-07:00you and i are more alike than i thought. i have h...you and i are more alike than i thought. i have had many many days like the kind you describe and when you factor in kids that aren't even mine to the equation, yeah well. "no success can compensate for failure i the home." well, i think you, like me, have this vision in your head of how family life should be and set the bar a bit too high. who is to define what is failure or success? i think we get down on our ourselves way too much. i know for 100% fact that if you don't lighten up, it can or will lead to a breakdown. i've been to that point a few times and it hurts and is hard to come back from.<BR/><BR/>i think the best thing to do is to count all the good things each day and focus on those. i am not a good follower of my own advice but i share it anyway.<BR/><BR/>i also agree with the not cooking tactic. there has been many days i've told my family then fend for yourselves. at first, they think it's great but then after awhile they start to miss the home cooking. i have cooked maybe 2-3 days in the last 3 weeks. i've been fed up for awhile.<BR/><BR/>and the boob thing? take it as an opportunity to teach about gravity. well, next time you are at sam's, have Brevin hold a cantelope in each had. after a few seconds, he will get tired and almost drop them. And then you say "Mom's boobs are a lot like those cantelope. They are big and heavy and after awhile gravity brings them down because it is too hard to hold them up without a little help."<BR/><BR/>anyway, sorry for the novel. i have had kind of a crappy day and your post kind of made me think about my day.chris jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075456655021742599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685045962561762263.post-65043793744976502892007-06-14T17:31:00.000-07:002007-06-14T17:31:00.000-07:00I have to say reading your blog makes me feel more...I have to say reading your blog makes me feel more normal. Because I ask myself all the time whether I'm going crazy? Or Am I the only mom who feels like this? I don't want my kids spending all their money at the psychiatrist on "mommy issues". But when they do and say those funny things it absolutely makes up for the times you just want to yell,"Shut Up!!!" I think we do try to be the "perfect" mom. But really perfection is totally overrated and when someone seems to be, it's a little annoying anyway.Kourtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03689436530956506215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2685045962561762263.post-18668286782636369492007-06-14T16:48:00.000-07:002007-06-14T16:48:00.000-07:00I'm beginning to worry that if you don't lighten u...I'm beginning to worry that if you don't lighten up on yourself and your kids you are going to have a breakdown. I don't know if it would make any difference to know that most good mothers care a lot and feel a huge responsibility for how their kids turn out. Perfect isn't even in the equation and never was supposed to be. There ARE going to be trials in the form of rebellious kids or whatever the case, because we're here to be TESTED. Accept that. In the moment. I don't know how your kids are compared to other kids, because I don't live with your kids or other kids. But, I imagine that they are pretty normal. Seems the key is in your not being so bugged by it all. I don't have the answer as to how that is supposed to happen, but that would help a lot. And who says you have to be all "sugary"? Unrealistic expectation! For every person touting sugar, there's another touting spanking. You really can't listen to too many voices. And complaining about dinner before they even get it? Maybe a couple of weeks straight of nothing but pbj would encourage them to give something else a try. Who knows? Think of the time you'd save making dinner. You could make something just for you and Tyler or whoever hasn't complained the day before. Don't I just have ALL the answers! Ha! You know how ludicrous that is; that's why I say it!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10653367923853307853noreply@blogger.com
