My daughter has your exact same hair, including the color! I don’t know what to do with it since my hair is the opposite — straight and fine. We haven’t figured out a solution yet; except not washing her a lot helps. I will be following this thread for tips!

Aw man, I didn’t know sweaters/shorts was a 90’s thing! That makes me feel very old. I grew up and live in Texas and to me, sweaters/shorts combo means summering somewhere where the sun is not trying to charbroil you, like Colorado! Or Cape Cod! Or Europe.

Sigh.

Seriously. I remember seeing my mother race in a full out sprint from half an acre away from our house because she decided to mow and mowed right over a red wasps nest. I will never forget that image. Scorpions - inconvenience and scary looking. Red wasps — minions of SATAN.

The Hill Country was my stompin' grounds too! I have been stung twice by these guys but nothing scares me more than a red wasp.

I teach breastfeeding classes and I never use the term normal for one type of nipple/areola combo. It always bugs me when I see breastfeeding tools that discuss the 'normal' nipple and then go onto illustrate the flat or inverted nipple. Especially when I encounter SO MANY first time moms with flat, soft and shorter…

:( Sorry. I hope it turns around for you soon. In the meantime, I hope working at the pub is low stress and maybe even fun!

Oof. Early labor for 6 days! That's really tough. Congratulations on your upcoming arrival!! Holding your little in your arms will make it all worth it. You are awesome.

I work with midwives. Let me know if you still need someone.

My husband is currently job searching with NO bites with his MLIS. I think he is going to start volunteering/interning at a library soon so he can get some experience. I have heard this is the way to go. Maybe you could find some time to volunteer and working at a pub sounds flexible enough to allow that. I wish the…

I like little pecks now and then, but lately I have discovered that I don't really like open mouth kissing much — especially during sexy sexy times. I just told my husband that it doesn't do anything for me and that sometimes, it evens turns me off. When he heard that, he stopped trying as much to open mouth kiss me.

I'll just leave this here.

I think your answer is perfect and I thank you for taking the time to try and explain it. Some things are hard to put into words and I think you did a fine job. Thank you.

This is fascinating to me. For most of my life, I have felt like I haven't found my people yet. My husband and one of my daughters being the exception. I have a connection to my youngest that I cannot explain. My oldest child feels like a person I truly have just met and it is frustrating at times. One time, during…

I wonder if he would leave you alone if you admit that your dreams are his? Do you think he would ease up or get worse? The whole time I was reading your post, it reminded me of Morpheus from the Sandman series — who can be rather vengeful. I really hope you do sleep well tonight!

I have visitation dreams from deceased loved ones as well! My grandmother passed away two months ago and I have yet to have a visit from her though. She has made an appearance in some of my dreams, but she was just a wallflower and not an integral part of the dream. I can't wait to interact with her again and give her…

That's what the beginning part of your description reminded me of...after that, it was all ABC Parent Trap type movies.

The saltines are a good bed side snack for some people. And it literally is just a nibble or two. Just something to have in your stomach until you are up, around and ready to eat.

IMO:
