Self reflection doesn't always have to hurt (an MMP Thread)

picu WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Congrats on the refi, lower mortgage and chunk o’ change!

MOOOOOOM so you’re sayin’ you have a project designed by Phil The Prince Of Insufficient Light himself? :smiley:

Olives there is a brownie fairy but he/she/it is a real slacker. That’s why brownies so rarely just appear like they should.

Home from men’s night over to the church house. 'Twas wonderful as usual. Da bear is full and happy.

And on that note… Nitey Nite Y’all!

Hooray, picu!

I finished my little project and was even inspired to create my wand. Now my costume is complete!

Sorry, we used ours up with 81 days of sunshine in bumbershoot country.
:smiley:
It’s raining now. It will rain until July.

Boy, did I type fast in that last post! I could barely understand it, and I wrote it!
I just talked to our loan officer, and she told me the $1200 is actually $1500. I’m buying some winter clothes and shoes. Christmas in October!

No dry weather here, sorry.

Because misery loves company. People see a married couple without kids and they secretly wish the little buggers on them so they are as miserable as those of us with kids:p

Make sure you’re drinking lots and lots of fluids.

Yeah, Mom is from the “ensemble” school of fashion. Me, not always. Not even often.

Also, a Dinner Fairy and a Housecleaning Fairy. We haven’t actually seen them, but we fervently believe the rumors.

Have been a complete slug all day. Read most of the internet, knit, took a nap, Am not quite tired yet.

Hugs.

You can call me sari if you like. Lot easier to spell.

I felt horrible for talking to my father like that, but that is who I am sometimes.

So a summary of my day:

stayed home all day with a sick little man, so I didn’t get any actual work done

Told my boss I was expecting so we could start planning my leave and working from home, and he sends out an announcement in an email to all the sales staff letting them know and congratulating me, but I was slightly taken aback that he assumed I wanted everyone to know (I did, but I wanted to be the one to tell them, dernit)

Went to the doctor because I have been feeling sick, and found out I do have oral Thrush (gross gross gross gross) and a lung infection. So now I am on antibiotics and a mouth rinse that tastes like rotten orange juice

Went to the fabric store with the twins to pick out fabric for the baby’s car seat cover my BFF is going to make for me (they picked out really cute fishy/undersea prints with rainbow colors)

Then got home to find the wet spot I thought was spilled water on the carpet in the twins’ room did not dry after I soaked it up and had spread and now seems to be a leak of some sort seeping up through the floor. I am glad we rent because I can’t imagine how much this is going to cost to repair. We moved the twins to the blow up mattress in the play room to sleep because I don’t know what is seeping through the floor plus it smells musty.
Such a weird day :frowning:

Hello, all. First time in an MMP; it seems I’ve been missing something…

I seem to have been in sort of an awkwardly-opposite situation with my dad… I’m the youngest of four sons, and I thought he did all right by me. I’ve found out over the past year that that was because he learned how to be a good dad on my three older brothers, and it was some hard learnin’… The other three all decided that they were done with him and were just putting up with him because, you know, dad, but when he passed away, nobody went to his funeral except the honor guard the military provided.

It rained, I ended up covered with glitter, chatted more with hockey lady for 3 hours.:slight_smile:

Congrats to all y’all Mumpers for overcoming challenges. {{{{}}}}

Yay! Woohoo! picu!

Welcome Ethi :smiley:

Welcome, Ethi! I am still sort of a newcomer and can’t remember the initiation fee. Probably brownies. :stuck_out_tongue:

Homemade beef stew is done; I think it’s a tad salty, but otherwise very good and yummy.

And I’ll trade unending days of hot sun and 90+ degree weather for a few days of rain. Any takers? :smiley:

This made me laugh out loud, FCM, and I do sincerely apologize! It reminded me of one of my favorite episodes of House Hunters on HGTV, where the lady (potential) home owner had on two entirely different sandals while viewing the second house. LOL I guess you had to see it, and shut up, yes I do watch too much HGTV, I guess, since I notice the “clients” on HH so much. :smiley:

At least they were the same color. :smiley:

I appreciated some squee-worthy pictures too. :slight_smile:

I’d love to give you mine. We’re in upper 80s, crowding 90, for the next few days. It is OCTOBER. It is supposed to be a good deal cooler than this! :mad:

I now feel stupid. DH and I were trying to figure out why two work shirts of his (same brand, style, color, purchased at same store but not sure if at the same time) fit him differently. We figured out that one was a regular, the other a tall. We’d thought we were buying him the same size each time, and there’s no real reason to buy tall for a man who’s about 5’8"-5’9" (except that he’s decided he likes the longer sleeves, so has requested that I buy tall for him when buying work shirts in the future).

Good deal! Extra money is a good thing.

If you’re offering the rain, I’ll take it. :smiley:

What, you mean, with her being a married woman and all?
Nice puppies, Kiwi, both the doggies and the humans :smiley:

Good Mornin’ Y’all! Up and caffienatin’. YAWN 'Tis a coolish 57 Amurrkin out with a predicted high of 78 for the day and dry, dry, dry. I’ll trade ya some Nuts. We need some rain.

picu yay for even more money than you thought!

Welcome Ethi! Beer for doggio, me and assorted others. Chawklit for MOOOOOOM. Those are the standard offerin’s.

Ok, sari it is! Also, don’t beat yourself up over what you did. Sounds like it needed to be said.

Apes ick for both the sickness and whatever it is oozin’ up in the floor. Hope both are all better soonest.

Tao some of the beast stew I made last week will be dindin at da cave tonight. GMTA!

Now I need more caffiene and rumbly tummy demands to be fed. Then, alas, irk purtification and another day with TPTB looms in the near future.

Happy Tuesday Y’all!
