Yup! My mom is kind of Christmas crazy and does like 3 trees (or she used to, but lives in a smaller house now where that may be excessive). She would do a family tree with the kitchy ornaments and rainbow lights, then a blue/silver tree with white lights, and a red and gold tree with yellow lights. All very pretty…

I grew up with colored lights and love those. My own tree has white lights (that's what I had and I'm not buying new ones until they die) and I love that too. The best is multiple generations worth of ornaments on our tree! I have my grandmother's old glass ornaments, some of my parents ornaments, then some from my…

The JLaw/Jaws thing is the best. I like her just fine, but even if I didn't that would make her worth it. Hehehe.

Sounds like my toddlers. I love them, but they could stand to be a little less needy. :)

The quote at the top of this page says 45...

Be careful having an easy one like "fix the wall clock we have" on that list. That's the one you'll end up with!!

Yes! I have two 2 year olds and it's so nice that they're just like "HOLY SHIT A BOX TO PLAY WITH!!! YOU'RE THE BEST MOM EVER!" (in attitude, not words)

If she doesn't specify a Christmas tree for inside the house, buy a small tree and plant it someplace. Win for the kid getting a tree, win for the environment getting a new tree growing.

I'm not divorced but my husband's parents are, and my kids who have both their birthday and Christmas in December plus 2 grandpas and 3 grandmas who don't have any other grandchildren make out like I cannot believe. Their birthday is very soon and I am having trouble realizing that the massive amount of boxes from…

Yeah, I have no idea if that's true but it would make a lot of sense. When I was 16 I was in a head on collision with a drunk driver and I was probably going at least 35 and he was going whatever he was going, so I'm sure the impact was over 45mph (don't you add the two speeds together? I think?). However, I was…

Pretty fucking insane that that wreckage can result from 45 mph. What awful shit luck.

Haha, that would have been ironic considering we did end up with infertility (on both male and female sides) and had to do IVF.

That'll avoid annoying thing number 2 about getting my hair done for my wedding, the lady asking "So are you guys going to have kids??" Lady, I'm not even married yet, at least wait til the reception before the kid pressure from strangers!!

Make sure they check the direction of the wind!!!

Wait, just no. RENT cannot make any good movie list. The musical is fucking amazing. The movie was a horrid piece of shit. Chris Columbus completely and utterly destroyed the soul of RENT with that movie.

I thought Les Mis was the best movie adaptation of a Broadway show that I have ever seen.

Ugh, yup, I had the opposite reaction with the clothes. I didn't get rid of my maternity clothes until a few months ago (so like 1.5 years after my kids were born!). I felt like I didn't get to wear them long enough and I just could not do it.

I haven't watched it, mainly because I pretty much lived it and don't want to go back!! Mine were only 2.5 months early, but they were growth restricted and the size of a baby 3.5 months early pretty much. I know a ton of other preemies through support groups and online preemie things and it is completely amazing to…

Two years ago today I went to the doctor for a routine prenatal appointment, one of my babies hadn't grown much in the last 4 weeks and my blood pressure (previously perfect the past 32 years) was through the roof with no symptoms at all. It was the scariest, most confusing day ever. Had an emergency c-section 5 days…

Not that this is any better, but if you see the pics of the car I doubt he was alive to burn to death. The car looked pretty destroyed from the crash.
