Oh, the things that come out of a boring afternoon!

The way that kid is sleeping lately... man, it must be a growth spurt! I just know I'll go in there to get him from his nap, and inside will be a 6-foot tall man, hair all over his body, with long legs dangling up and over the side of the crib ( Read more... )

You look fantastic in anything. ANYTHING, I tell you.

Way to go on the midterm grade! This calls for a celebration, I think.

Rachel, you are always so good at making me feel better about myself...I hope I do the same for you too, because you are truly a wonderful, beatiful person and I want you to fully realize that. I should be telling you every day how much I appreciate having a friend like you <3

maybe I should visit sometime. From what I understand I don't live too far away and maybe you could motivate me to get my butt moving.

Besides, I've never seen Carter in person.

Where do you live? I didn't know you were close to us, but that's really cool. It's been awhile since we've seen you :o(

You PROMISED :) wildlydivine777 October 13 2006, 13:31:29 UTC

nooo, you didn't sound obsessed at all :) You look awesome! You have a great figure. Just focus on staying healthy.

But, I sure do understand about the long hours and trying to find things to do to fill them. For me, I keep trying to remind self that life is awesome, mysterious, and short, and there is so much to learn I could never learn even a small fraction of all there is to know. I could also never be totally organized.

When that does not work, I like to go out to eat and drink and talk :)

Hey Girl! You promised to organize all my photos! There's a worthy project that would take hours, and you said that you were giving that to me as a gift, so you HAVE to live up to your word.

Re: You PROMISED :) carlyjade October 13 2006, 17:54:52 UTC

Oh yeah! I should get started on that project... that's actually why I suggested it, so I'd have something to occupy myself when I'm bored... but of course, I'd also like to do it because you are the best mom ever and I know how much you've wanted it done for forever. I guess I'll have to pick the photos up again and figure out what kind of albums you want me to use/how you want me to organize them.

Cool!! You don't know how helpful that would be. I was very happy when you offered. You are so creative and patient and meticulous at projects like that, so it would turn out a lot better if you did it then if I did it because I tend to lose focus (when it comes to some sorts of lengthy projects ( ... )

don't worry, some day you will make a lot more money than Matt and can say snotty things to him in return when he buys something...like "oh great, that took 5 minutes of my life to make that money". Just kidding...Matt just wants to save money for a house (which is a worthy cause), and I am sure he does feel a lot of pressure being responsible for all the bills, so try not to feel too bad.

carlyjade October 13 2006, 17:56:55 UTC

I know, he is actually right when he nags me about spending too much money...we really do need to save up for a house. It just bothers me when he'll go out and spend money on fixing up the Tbird (which we didn't even need bc we already had a car for each of us) and stuff like that.

wildlydivine777 October 14 2006, 04:56:00 UTC

Well, of course, that is a very good point, and the same one I often made. If YOU can't spend money on frivolous expenditures, then can Matt, irregardless of who is actually bringing home the paycheck. There has to be a fair balance, and you have to both be working equally towards the same goal and making the same sacrafice of "wants". There are wants, and then there are needs, and you have to be able to fairly discuss that topic. Your job of staying home to attempt to raise a healthier, better adjusted child is just as vitally important as what he is doing to pay the bills that make that possible. It is all about teamwork, it can't be a power struggle. The money has to be "ours", with both of you having the same goal, and the exact same responsibilities for reaching that goal. When you are both equally sacraficing to reach that goal, then neither of you will feel cheated.

"I just know I'll go in there to get him from his nap, and inside will be a 6-foot tall man, hair all over his body, with long legs dangling up and over the side of the crib!!" I forgot to tell you--that made me laugh (and a little sad at the same time because it does seem like that for me sometimes, like hey, where did my babies go? they do grow up).
