I only mentioned it because that was what was described in the recipe. . . but now that I know what to look for, I think I'll give it a shot tomorrow. Perhaps even later tonight, if SeaMonkey stops trying to escape.

It's still gorgeous, but it's better suited to be a backup than a full-time sling.  Plus, I think I'd like one with a pocket this time. I meant to save up for one this month, but that didn't happen.  |
She is amazing to work with and her slings are works of art for sure!!
guess everyone was though

It's a bit more of a pain in the rear to get into than our KKAFP's, but for longer outings like the grocery store or taking Elliot out somewhere it's totally my favorite carrier -- it's so supportive and gentle on my back and I don't feel like I need to use my hands to support the baby at all.|

I splurged and bought a enameled cast iron dutch oven for myself when I got my new job, and I love it way more than I should -- it's my favorite kitchen thing and I get all smiley when I get to cook in it. Her comment? "Oh hon! You have to get me a pan just like that one... except I want an EXPENSIVE one!" 
Seriously, go die in a fire or something!)

It is SO RIGHT that in just a few years I will be able to single-handedly support all of my kids. It is SO RIGHT that I am moving onward and upward from this life that has been bringing me down for far too long. It is SO RIGHT that I started my new meds a few days ago, and I have hope for a stable future for me and the kids. It is SO RIGHT that I can walk and get some exercise, and am eating this GIANT lovely salad complete with red peppers, spinach, turkey, carrots, green onions, and english cucumber, YUM!! It is SO RIGHT that I am learning to love myself, and learn that I can reach my goals, and my dreams can come true. It *would be* SO RIGHT if JM would pm me some measurements for her dear baby grace. |
you are too funny. Gracie will hopefully be home tomorrow afternoon at 3:30pm so I am going to measure her when I smuggle her out of the nicu. They are pathetically tiny, just be prepared. Personally I like her wrinkly little knees when she stretches out her legs because there isn't enough fat to fill out the skin.

Rynna. I'm sorry you are so stressed about it. I had that same feeling too with Grace. Turns out that my water broke on the EXACT SAME DAY as it did with Sara just 3 years later. And their birthdays are 2 days apart. And they had the same due date. It's freaky really. So I totally know that feeling and I hope it means nothing for you. I hope seamonkey sticks around for a while and continues to lay his heavy little self right on your bladder. No labor vibes for you lady!

.....i'm at the computer lab, but need to run in a few minutes|

It is SO RIGHT that our postpartum "help" has finally gone home!! It is SO RIGHT that I can lay on my couch in my underwear nursing my baby with no one to get in my face about it! It is SO RIGHT that no one is "disciplining" my toddler and scaring him or hurting him and that no one is trying to tell him the "right" way to play with his toys. It is SO RIGHT that we're not being shook down for expensive ingredients so they can cook for us anymore, or badgered about the "low-class" media our son watches, or my going to the thrift store for clothes or the resale store for sleepers for the baby. Seriously. I LOVE my son's godfather, and he's great with Elliot and a very sweet guy and I'm glad to have him around. But his finacee is such a UAV. I feel like I need to air out and fumigate my entire house now that she's finally freakin' gone! (Plus, she insulted my favorite pan! I splurged and bought a enameled cast iron dutch oven for myself when I got my new job, and I love it way more than I should -- it's my favorite kitchen thing and I get all smiley when I get to cook in it. Her comment? "Oh hon! You have to get me a pan just like that one... except I want an EXPENSIVE one!" Seriously, go die in a fire or something!) |

It is SO RIGHT that I finally got caught up on my laundry for the first time in 2 weeks. It is SO RIGHT that ediesmom will be expecting a package of a knit goodie or two for Shelby's baby soon. It is SO RIGHT that it's cold and nasty and wet outside and I'm inside snuggled in my sweatpants drinking coffee. |
...so she will LOVE it!|

I just feel like we're slipping into the same financial situation as my parents--always struggling, living from payday to payday--and I hate it. We're young, with no kids--we should be saving, investing, doing whatever smart young people do. It just hasn't worked. We need to have another month of $40-a-week-food-budgeting, I think--we saved heaps in November that way. Hopefully the garden will really get going soon, and we can live off tomatoes and basil!
