The things we do for love

I killed a wasp just wearing a flip flop by stomping on it to protect my 1 year old great nephew.

Was the bone protruding from the wound????

It was a massive scratch okay!

Camping was fun! I wish I had the opportunity to take my kids camping.

Sure, they've camped in the back yard.

But not real camping.

Of course I do prefer camp grounds with bath houses and swimming pools.

But yeah, camping was always fun.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Well.

Except for that time we camped in Florida.

That was miserable.

I have friends that have a pull behind. Bed, satellite TV, air conditioning, indoor bathroom....their camper is nicer than a lot of houses. That I'm down with.

Somehow I agreed to sleep in a tent. I've lost my mind

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Many times when DS was very young, I wouldn't eat dinner, just so there was enough for him for a couple of meals.

I stayed in this area when pregnant with dd so she could be near her father, even though I could have moved and been much better off.

I also kill spiders.

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Fine! I have COOKED bacon for my boys.

(There, I admitted it.)

Me too! Wayne hates spiders!

I also let him keep Jupiter. Even though I didn't want a dog.

And, I mother all the stray kittens he brings home.

I must have a screw loose. wink

You have lost your mind!

We had a pop up camper.

It's a tent off the ground.

Looked a lot like this.

Yeah, but DG is talking about a tent. I would not agree to that!

I actually would like to go camping in a tent! I never have.

I actually have. I was in Girl Scouts. We would go camping. I'm not a fan.

I spent last evening catering to DD who was having a sleepover. I got up early and we cleaned the house. I made hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill. I made homemade lemonade. Set up the fire pit. Got everything ready to go. Then, i smashed my freaking small toe into the wall when i was taking something down to the basement. I can't really walk on it today and it is black and blue so i am icing it. I have to work all week so that should be fun. I was going to go kayaking today so that was out!

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

I just thought of another one:

I listened to...country music...

flan

Vette · Owl drink to that!

Brave...or stupid!

But it's not "old-school" country, if that makes sense. It's the newer stuff, with a little rock mixed in.

flan

Vette · Owl drink to that!

I don't like any of it. I used to LOVE country, old and new, you couldn't catch me listening to anything else.

And then one day, poof, it was gone. I don't know what happened. Now I cringe when it comes on

flan327 · Itty bitty's Grammy

Well, you're just plain weird...

Sounds like you've broken it.

Done it myself.

Comfortable shoes will be less painful than you think.

Hope it heals quick.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Yeah its swollen and black and blue. I just buddy taped it and am taking aspirin. No point going to the doctor.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

That's all a doctor would do.

I got divorced.

That's what I did for love.

I know it sounds strange and completely backwards.

Love for my kids.

Because they deserved a stable home to grow up in.

That makes perfect sense Lilly.

Fort Worth Mom · Mod/Penguin lover/Princess!

Twenty six years ago, today.

I was sitting beside my Dad, in the hospital. Holding his hand. Petting his head.

Telling him how much I loved him.

While he died.

My Dad died, 26 years ago. Today.

I still miss him.

He was the best Dad, ever. smile

I know it was a bummer, flan.

Thank you, for trying to make it sound, not so bad. smile

But every year, on June 26th, I call my Mom.

And we yak about, the happy times we had with Dad.

We move on, and carry on.

That's what Dad would want us to do.

But, not all the way.

It helps to have friends who understand.

I appreciate you all. smile

Let's see ...

I've picked massive boogers from DS' nose - about the size of my pinky nail. They cover his nostrils and he doesn't blow his nose hard enough to remove them. Grosses out DH every time but doesn't really bother me.

I've held my bladder to the point of emergency because DS was asleep on me and I didn't want to move him and risk waking him.

I've killed many, many bugs because DH is grossed out by the idea of a squished bug balled up in a tissue in his hand. Nowadays, DS just stomps on them.

I watch Bee Movie 4+ times in one day most days of the week because that's DS' favorite movie. He either asks for Bee Movie, Evan Almighty, or Mickey Mouse.
