It's not really the idea of "I don't want to do this because of the stipulation" more like when people see it "Why did you wear white, you're no virgin" (lame example, but I'm tired and William is refusing to sleep tonight so far).

I hope it really works out for you!


That was kind of my concern when I was picking out wedding dresses. I was definitely not a virgin (ahem, we had a child when we got married) and definitely not so before we got together, plus I had been married once before (I did actually wear some slutty little white thing to that wedding. It was adorable honestly and I wish I hadn't used it for such a sham of a marriage) so I had every intention of not getting a white dress. However, pretty much everyone insisted that I wear white (my mom was in fits over me telling her I was going to get a blue dress) so I did some shopping around and fell in love with a traditional white tea length dress at David's - but I still wanted blue so I took it to a tailor and had teal put over the bottom. White on top, and originally all white, somewhat to appease my family and also because I really loved the dress, and teal on bottom for what I originally wanted in the first place... The result was amaaaazing an I'm really glad I kept an open mind and wasn't stubborn about finding a blue dress. I felt like a PRINCESS!
It was funny though because even the tailor was shocked when I said I wanted to put blue/teal on my dress. She said "OOOH no, white for first weddings always!" And I honestly believe she may not have done it if I hadn't told her that it was my second wedding. Lol
Apparently, though, red is traditional for second weddings...?
Regardless, no one should feel like they 'can't wear white' because nowadays, you should be able to wear whatever the hell you like to your wedding without worrying about some silly tradition or whether its 'right'. It's a pretty color, and should only symbolize your special day. ^_^

Sorry you and Emmet had a rough night. I hope he feels better. Eee, Brigid is just getting her first two teeth now, I guess that's what we'll be looking forward to later. Also, how soon until you guys move?

Hello Stephanie/camelus! Welcome! I've been on this forum for only a day so I don't know squat ; P

Sorry, will finish catching up later!
So I got back at my boyfriend for kindly letting me know my MIL was in town. He got a good beating while asleep under the guise of "I was having a bad dream"

God this woman is driving me clinically insane. She is nitpicking over every little thing I do. First off Sapphy is still breast fed with a tiny bit of yogurt and rice cereal later on in the day. The twins are bottle fed breast milk and yet some how I am being a horrible parent. And FYI lady I really don't give two hoots the house is in a bit of a mess. You deal with three kids under 6 months on your own.

Oh so today I get my hair done (it needs a cut badly!!) and I told my boyfriend that he is in charge of the kids today him "But I wanna play video games!" me "Nope you pissed off last weekend to watch the hockey game and drink beer at 5 am. It is my turn now. Oh and FYI my cell will not be on! Have fun!!" oddly enough MIL took off earlier to hang with some old friends all day.
Digital: Yeah... I was pregnant at our wedding LOL but I got yellow because it didn't come in white nor did I want white anyway. I'm so GD pale I'd have looked like a ghost anyway! haha

Besides, it's JUST for pictures. We aren't having a party or a gathering or anything like that. Just some fancy pictures of the two of us. We have family pictures but no lovey dovey pictures of just us two.


Kit: Yeah I didn't not wear white because I wasn't a virgin. I just... don't like white. LOL I'm thinking of getting that last dress in purple or "ink blue" (kinda a darker teal) and the tulle stays black. Maybe I'll go red though... kinda like the purple though. I don't hate red but it's not my favorite.

Ugh, I don't know whether it's worth getting new jeans or not but my size 20s are hanging off me and it is kinda driving me crazy. I tried borrowing one of Adam's belts and the belt fit fine but my jeans were all bunched up around the top with excess denim.
I want to actively start losing weight again soon, like I've talked to my doctor about it and she's reccomending me to a dietrition and some person to help me find a low impact exercise that won't make my knees and ankles any worse then they already are.
My knees seem to be a period thing mostly because they swell and hurt like all hell and it happens before, during and after my period. They sometimes even get inflamed when I'm ovulating weirdly enough, but they do get swollen and inflamed and just generally achy after even 30 minute exercises that are fairly average on the impact for knee joints.

What is she saying you are doing wrong? And unless your place is a serious dump, I think it's rude for anyone to comment in cleanliness when visiting, EVER. Especially when you clearly have some way more important thins to worry about.
Sorry you're having a rough time... Just count down the days, I guess! Lol

Cyrus is having a blast this weekend..
Yesterday we went to the library play group, then my sister and Jaxson came over so Cyrus played with him literally all day.
It was nice cause me and Amber went to the mall and out to eat while Kyle watched the kids for a good 4 hours.

It was great I can't remember the last time I got out of the house without Kyle and/or Cyrus...I think it was when I went camping in the summer lol.

Then today we took him to the bounce house portion of the roller rink...he threw a big fit when we made him leave, but it started snowing too bad. He was following this little girl around it was funny.

And tomorrow we're going to Chuck-e-cheese for my nephews birthday.

Cyrus and jax are so cute together

List of current complaints against me.
1) Too many things in the living room. I practically live in the living room with them when they are awake. The one room that *has* enough room for three swings, a play pen, tummy time mat and Sapphy bouncer.

2) The cats are messy and gross they must be gotten rid of. No one has had a reaction and I am sorry you don't like them scratching in their litter box then giving themselves a bath they have clearly used the litter box.

3) That Sapphire is not bottle fed only. This has been a very long running issue with her. Now Sapphy has been bottle fed but that is when I really needed the extra hand or when I have been on non-breast feeding safe medication. Like my migraine meds or those powerful antibiotics I was on not long ago.

3) Why don't I *ever* clean up the kitchen. Lady I got three children, two of which are bottle fed. Yeah the kitchen looks like a mess because I am constantly pumping and cleaning. If you had waited 30 seconds I would have put the dry bottles away and it wouldn't have looked as cluttered.

4) The house smells weird. I wanted to say "well so does yours but I don't complain" I know the house smells off but that has to do mostly the amount of cold weather we have had so the what you are smelling is cold air in the basement.

There is much more but I'm just gonna leave it because I am in a good mood from getting my hair cut.

Ugh.

Kyle's friend is staying the night (the one I don't like who got wasted at Cyrus' birthday party) cause they are working early.

But his friend has no license so kyle went to pick him up...And I'm struggling to put Cyrus to bed (cause he's used to daddy doing it) before he gets back with his friend cause then Cyrus really won't sleep.

I'm tired and have a headache, I wish kyle would have at least asked if it was ok...
Also my anxiety is through the roof cause it's so snowy and slippery out and I don't even want kyle driving....he's been gone for 40min now...
Nater: My jeans are hanging too but my 18s (size down) still don't fit. I hate being between sizes! I'm jealous that you're going to a nutritionist whatever... I wish I could afford that. I've been struggling with weight since I was in kindy and although I've lost 40lbs so far, it only gets harder the more you lose. sad

Anyway, congrats on the lose so far and good luck on continuing it! biggrin

Kyle had to put Cyrus back in bed once and he stayed there....I swear he just wanted daddy to put him to bed.

Went to a friends wedding tonight and had lots of fun. Also got to show off my new 3 piece suit!

Fuzzy - Some people cat_rolleyes Next time she makes a comment on the state of your house just say, "Oh, would you watch the kids for an hour so I can clean up a bit? That would be so helpful." See how quickly she scats.

Fuzzy: I have one child and my house is messy. lol If you can find time to clean at all, then you're a super woman.



SO excited. We could close on our house as soon as next Friday.

The nutritionist they're making me go through does bulk billing (yay for medicare) but the exercise person might not.
We'll see how I go.
I'll have to get a quote before I get in and make any appointments.
Don't know if this is suspicious behavior or not:

Adam got a number off a chick, he changes his phone password (found that little tidbit out when I went to call my phone because I lost it and our home phone is a piece of crap) and then again after he gives me his password so I can navigate somewhere for us.

He knows my passwords, I have never made it any huge secret.
It is literally an old home postcode so that I wouldn't forget it.

:/
I don't want to not trust him, but I'm finding it hard after he lied and went behind behind my back with the whole escort deal.
