Hi Brown - good to see you posting again. LINY has kept us well informed and entertained lately.

Robby - Your song about the bull semen made me start gagging and retching. Knock it off.

F-Again - Glad you are back safe. Good job almost controlling yourself.

FF- I missed your story. Will look for it.

AW - Sheesh - hope that little one doesn't come out with horns, hooves, and a tail. Tell Aussie he should be more careful what he puts in his mouth.

FAA

you are such a GOOD mum you really are!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

I just bet this is you......

You know you're a mom when...


You count the sprinkles on each kid's cupcake to make sure they're equal.
You want to take out a contract on the kid who broke your child's favourite toy and made him/her cry.
You have time to shave only one leg at a time.
You hide in the bathroom to be alone....do that still
You child throws up, and you catch it....yep done that
Someone else's kid throws up at a party, and you keep eating.... been there
You consider finger paint to be a controlled substance...isn't it?????
You mastered the art of placing large quantities of pancakes and eggs on a plate without anything touching ...and making smiley faces
Your child insists that you read Once Upon a Potty out loud in the lobby of the doctor's office, or, better yet, in the lobby of your husbands work place... and you do it.
You hire a sitter because you haven't been out with your husband in ages, then spend half the night talking about and checking on the kids.
You hope ketchup is a vegetable because it's the only one your child eats...Yeuuu even with Chinese
You cling to the high moral ground on toy weapons, while your child chews his toast into the shape of a gun.... oh yes - sigh
You can't bear the thought of your son's first girlfriend.... NO NO NO leave my baby alone you hussies !!!!
You hate the thought of his wife even more... weeeeel depends on his WIFE
You donate to charities in the hope that your child won't get that disease.
You find yourself cutting your husband's sandwiches into unusual shapes.... yup no crusts either
You fast-forward through the scene when the hunter shoots Bambi's mother...ALWAYS
You use your own saliva to clean your child's face....still do
You obsess when your child clings to you upon parting during his first month at school, then obsess when he skips in without looking back the second time....sob yes I did
You can't bear to give away baby clothes -- it's so final...... still got em
You hear your mother's voice coming out of your mouth when you say, "Not in your good clothes!" or “Make sure you wear clean undies in case you have an accident!” OMG did I say that out aloud!!!
You stop criticizing the way your mother raised you.
You read that the average five year old asks 437 questions a day and feel proud that your kid is above average.
You say at least once a day, "I'm not cut out for this job", but you know you wouldn't trade it for anything in the world... sigh not ever ever but now we will have a new one to practice on <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Yep a mummy (Aust) mommy (US) no doubt

AW -

I love it. And I noticed that I wanted to keep the "hussies" away from my boys, and the "bad boys" away from my girls.

I didn't buy guns for the boys, they made them out of sticks though. Also the boys played "house" different than the girls. The boys set up the house and people on the train track, and then started the train up to send everything flying.

Ah yes memories Believer memories....

my 'darling' little boy used to 'hang' his big sisters dollies because they just wouldn't do as they were told.... I explained gently to him that girls were like that and he had to be very understanding... he got this steely little look in his eyes & said they only understood one thing,,,, the rope.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

So then I DEMANDED he leave her dollies alone.....he thought I was just a 'big sissy' and went off in a huff to blow up his toy soldiers... now he wants to be a soldier...maybe I shoulda let him play with the dollies???? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Yep - no matter what - boys are just born different. They can't help it, and no amount of mothering and socialization can change them. Poor things. Thank God I was born female.

Thanks AW. reassurance that I am at least TRYING to be a good Mom helps right now. My older kids tell me often that I am a great Mom. And that is good. DD12 not so much. UH DUH. She is almost a teenager. But I survived the first 3 times aound. And DD12 is a great kid. I like her. Not just love her. BUt I like her. I would want to be her friend if I was the same age. If you know what I mean.

Hopefully you will have a girl. Then half your problems will be over. Ooooops - Aussie might see your little note to your daughter.

Are you going to find out what it is, AW? Or wait till he/she appears.

Getting back to beavers....

As we leave the city going south we always pass a road called Beaver Road. For 30 years it has been Rob's standing joke to say "Aaaah, my favourite road."

Not long ago we had my mother sitting in the back seat as we left the city and as we passed Beaver Road, Rob and I had to fight to avoid catching each other's eye or we would have lost it. LOL.

Back to polite topics of conversation. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Oh, I forgot AW is on at the moment. Impossible. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Hi all! This is too tiring reading 6-10 pages. Can't remember what all I wanted to say...

LINY: You have mail.

FF: Your email address didn't work. Got the following error message:

"Hi. This is the qmail-send program at yahoo.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out."

LINY/Brown: I would have used the credit card and then paid that off with the check. hehehe. Well, maybe.

Robby: Welcome back, thanks for bringing the warmth up. It's still warm.

KiwiJ: We have lots of roads, counties and towns around here that have the word Beaver in them. A few years back a couple of radio dj's made up this program with all sex towns and stuff. It was funny. There is even a town called Intercourse.

Go ahead Justuss, edit it, we know you want to, but it's the truth.

RH, the funny thing is there aren't and never have been any of the furry, buck toothed little critters in NZ. I think the road may have been named after a Mr Beaver. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I mean it sort of figures that you're going to have place names in the States with "beaver" in them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Isn't Intercourse in the heart of Amish country?

Good grief, can we change the subject. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
