lol i would get on now wouldnt i?
what new game? and you should probably go and pick up your paycheck. money is awesome to have. XD even if half of it is going to a game.

ive been meaning to go out and get zelda for the wii. i just havent had the time. XP

Forza 2 just came out this past week, and I've been dieing to play it, cause I was horribly addicted to the original. It's a racing game, though it plays more like a simulator.

ah, im no good at those XD

what system is it for? or is a compy game?

XBOX 360 all the way :D I don't own a Wii yet, but when they start coming out with better/more interesting looking games for it, I'll prolly buy one.

Anywho... I'm gonna go cash my check and pick up the game now... Should be back in about an hour and a half to two hours.

ok! have fun out (:

wii sports is pretty fun. so are the random mario party games thing for it. and i hear a few others are pretty cool too. so im looking forward to getting some. i have a couple of friends that work at gamestop, so i can have them get it for me with the employee discount. lol.

i have strawberries and cherries! omg! yummy! *eats*

i love summer time and all the awesome fruits that come with it. they taste soooo good. (:
my kiddos love them too. its so cute watching them eat strawberries and getting the juices running all down their bellies. silly babies are too cute!

I'm back :D I went and got my paycheck... only to find out it was about half of what I'd expected... Medical Insurance and all that just started getting deducted from our checks. If I'd bought the game like I'd planned, I'd literally have about 20 bucks to my name for the next week... that's not even enough for a full tank of gas :(

Looks like I'm waiting for my buddy to get back from Florida on Tuesday so I can go to his place and play there XD

:o
there needs to be a place like this exept the opposite.XD people who will never be parents. like me.
i never want childen. it sounds sosososo horrible to be pregnant. all just to get a KID? eugh...thats all i will say, dont want to make any of you happy mommys feel bad. :D if thats what you want, go ahead, just dont make me do it too.

lolz XD Pregnancy isn't bad for everyone, dear. Just cause there are times when I hate it, doesn't mean there aren't women out there who have the easy road and don't mind it a bit. And no one is making you have one. :p

awww that sucks about your paycheck T.T
but at least youll be able to play the game later at your friends place. so that should be nice.
i hate it when taxes/insurance stuff/whatever else they can find to take money out of the pay check is more than what you were expecting. it seriously sucks. XP

tuba: i didnt want kids either. but i like how kids are made. >.> lo and behold i got pregnant and i wouldnt want it any other way. i didnt think i would want to be pregnant ever, or go through child birth my god the pain adn everything! but when i actually went through it it was nothing like i had expected. it wasnt even as painful as i thought it would be. then i was pregnant with my twins, and now im considering being a serroguate. no one is going to force you to have kids, but its not really all you expect. and children can be pretty awesome. i love mine so much life with out them would hardly be a life at all.

so a couple of days ago my son got in his first tooth. and 2 days ago my daughter learned how to sit up on her own. from a laying down position she can get into the sitting position. im so excited. they can both get from the sitting position to the im getting ready to crawl thing, but they havent started crawling yet. i think they just dont have the motor coordination skills for it yet.

but theyre coming along so nicely. im so excited. i cant wait for them to be crawling! mainly because i wont have to carry them everywhere anymore. but then i also dont want them to start crawling because then theyll just get stronger and wont want mommy around as often. not to mention ill have to get them toddler seats... but im hoping to find some really cute ones for them. >.> haha.

Awwww. I love it when babies take those big steps toward growing up! It just makes me want mine to be here all the more. XD The idea of seeing the peanut take their first steps, hear their first words... man... I haven't even gotten to hold the baby yet and I'm already thinking that far ahead x.x

WitheredInnocence - sure sounds like it is , from what i have heard. XD yeah, noone better, cause i will beat them up. XD

melody - i know, thats what i think too. XD i dont want to find out any thing else. XD yeah, and then you have to deal with them for 18+ years. X_X soo annoying. T_T im glad you are happy though. XD maybe i will feel different when i am older. i really hope not though. XD

Tuba- Most people feel the way you do when they're young. I didn't want kids and was fairly certain I wouldn't ever have any just because I didn't think I'd ever be lucky enough to find love. Turns out... I ended up pregnant and love had nothing to do with it. XD Infatuation did, but I wasn't in love with him(thank god... I'd so be screwed if I loved the bastard). And now I couldn't be happier... unless I had a lot more money so I knew me and the baby would be fine for the rest of our lives XD

i guess they do. i have taken precautions against this though.XD
i have told my boyfriend that if i ever decide i want kids, that he should...i dont remember what he was supposed to do to me. XD convince me i dont, anyways. XD and thats good. yeah lol that sounds nice. XD

lol well no offense, but chances are you and said boyfriend won't be together when you're at the age where wanting kids will really start to kick in. And even if you are, most men go through the same thing. They don't want kids when they're young, and then they start to get older and realize that having kids would be a wonderful thing. Now I'm not saying it's gonna be that way for you, but that's how it's been with most people I've talked to.

who knows.XD ive only been with him since april 2005. XD there has been talk and plans of the future.typical stuff. XD
he says he hates kids lol but hes only 19. lets just hope he dosnt change. XD
they torture him.crawl all over him and bend his fingers til they snap. yes, literaly.
yeah, most people that ive talked to say the same. X___x at least theres a small chance i wont change my mind.XD cause i really dont wanna.XD

Truthfully, it's completely different when it's your own kid. Things that would grate on my nerves coming from anyone else's kid, don't bother me in the least from my own. And you know it's love when your kid can pee, poop, throw up, spit up, and get any other kind of bodily fluid on you and you actually don't feel the urge to throw up yourself! lol

I tell ya, Withered...that first stomach flu...it's a doozy! ;P

And as for pregnancy, man I LOVED being pregnant! I would love to be pregnant again now, though I have to wait another year or so. Whenever I see a pregnant lady, I'm like, "Awww...I want it again!" There was nothing else like that. I felt so beautiful, I looked cute as a button (admittedly, I had a small bump until the last month, whereas some women seem to carry HUGE ones), I got special treatment and smiles whereever I went, and the kicking sensation has to seriously be one of the most incredible feelings in the world. I'd play "foot" with my bump all the time! She was a kicker! The birth itself hurt because she came so fast that my medication didn't have time to kick in, so it was pretty much natural. But I got through it and they're right when they say you just don't seem to remember how much it hurt after the fact.

Anyhow, yesterday Lauren was Miss McFussy ALL DAY and it was driving me crazy because I was trying to prepare to get my house on the market (we're getting it listed tomorrow!), so all week, I've been up to my eyeballs in yardwork and housecleaning. Well, this morning, I discovered the underlying cause was not her thinking I wasn't giving her enough time, but rather some sort of cold. She woke up with almost a 100 fever, poor thing! So one part of me was sad that she wasn't feeling good, but the other part of me was relieved that that was my answer.

*Rolls in eating Reese's Pieces that she hid from her children*

Good evening everyone! Hope everything is going good. I'm try to get caught up. Here goes, lol! Wall of text ahead ;)

@WitheredInnocence: I never had scary dreams while I was pregnant with either child. It wasn't until after they were born that the nightmares started. *hugs* I was also one of those parents (especially with my first child) that would make sure they were still breathing at night. I'd be careful not to wake up but I wouldn't leave the room until I was convinced. I was also very hormonal. Hallmark commercials made me cry and I craved coffee and vanilla ice cream with my daughter and bean burros with my son.

I would love to have a Wii. I'm still considering an Xbox 360 but the kids will fight over it and I'll just end up taking it away, which is partly the reason I don't have a Wii yet (that and I wasn't willing to go stand in line for hours for one when they came out).

@melody xyelle: I can't imagine how hard it must be for you to have family on active duty. It would probably kill me. I guess though if you grow up that way you get used to it to a certain degree.

I also love the fresh fruits of summer. Strawberries are my favorite and the juice trickling down their belly... yea...they don't outgrow that, lol! :)

@Tuba: Honestly pregnancy isn't as horrible as it sounds. I was and still am a single parent. I got pregnant with my first when I was 23 years old. I was single and free and loving life, and bam! Nothing with ground you faster or change your life forever like a child. I didn't want children. That was the last thing on my mind, but as melody says, I like how they are made ;) I wouldn't go back in time and change it either. They are very much a part of me and such a continual life altering energy and I can't imagine life without them at all. Since my kids are older we are capable of having some knock down drag out arguments (especially my 13 year old and I) but even through that I look at her and see the little girl who played dress up or ran around outside in her undies and all of the things that she has done. My son and I don't fight like that and he is still young but the point is I don't think my life would be as rewarding. Less stressful maybe.

wow so much activity since ive been gone. lol.

Withered- it is nice when they take those big steps. some of them bring me to tears. my toddler can count to 5 and use her fingers as a visiual aid. i was teaching her to count that way. the first time she came up to me and did it i started to cry. i was so proud of her! next on the list are her a, b, c's and im sure it will be just as moving <33
though, nothing beats the first smile. specially cuz its always at mommy!

tuba- alot of the 18+years theyre in school though. so you really dont have to deal with them much. and theres the teenage phase when you dont want anything to do with your parents so you stay in your room the whole time until youre hungry and you come down and ask whats for dinner XD the first 5 years i hear are the hardest, but also the best. because you get to teach someone something that no one else can. because youre a mommy. and how you teach/treat them helps to mold them into who they will be. its alot of pressure. but its fun all the same.

Aliena- so true! some kids just get on my nerves sooo easily! but when its my own im like eh. ive been attacked with every single bodily fluid by my kids, and everytime i look at them i still see my perfect little babies. i loooove them sooo much still, even though they can be so frusterating sometimes.
pregnancy was good my second time around. but my first was bad. and my anestheologist never even got to my room and my daughter was born. but he still billed me. im guessing for the call they gave him to get his butt over. some good that did XD

i hope you get an awesome offer on your house! and that you were able to finish cleaning and everything. i know how hard it can be to clean a house while trying to take care of kids. (try doing it for a military inspection while taking care of newborn twins and a toddler that doesnt want any of her toys put away. egads @.@)

lol i didnt scroll down all the way apparently and missed jurupame's post!
having my husband on active duty is hard. i miss him so much all of the time. and its hard for him to be away from the kids while hes at sea, or in school etc. i know he wants to be here to help with the kids and watch them take their firsts like civilian parents, but duty always comes first. the government may control his body but damn it his heart and soul are mine <3 (come next saturday ill have been with this man for 5 years! omg!)
i did grow up as a navy brat. so i was used to not having my dad around. so used to it that when he was around i cant even remember it. XP he gets mad at me but its true. but you do get used to it, it doesnt get easier, but you get used to it. *le sigh*
i want more strawberries. a 4lb thing of them gone in 2 days. wtf? that toddler of mine eats strawberries like theres no tomorrow.

my son has been singing to me all morning @.@ since about 3 am last night. hes been squeeling/singing and its really getting to me. i cant listen to it anymore. D:
he doesnt want anything he just likes to squeel. eeeepppp. and then he does the little spitty thing and and and its just so annoying. XD i think im in a semi bad mood this morning from my lack of sleep last night because of him. its so not cool. and now me infantile daughter is summoning me to her side alas i must be off again! but ill be back in a bit. i need my sanity time today. XP

OK I'm officially convinced... I'm just not meant to have a good weekend anytime soon. It will probably require me waiting until after the baby is born and I can go to renfaire and show off my little bundle of joy for anything to want to go right... I blame work. x.x

Things just don't want to go right on the weekends lately and I don't know why.

awww </3
the ren fair is fun but i wouldnt take a baby. XP but thats because im worried about them getting a sun burn. though, with one it may be fun. i have to many for that though. perhaps when theyre all walking and i have them on a lleash >.> haha im a mean mommy.
so what happened to make this weekend so bad.?

Oh lots of stuff... most of it stuff I'm really not all about getting into detail about as I'm just too damn tired x.x

Renfaire is fine if you take them when they're too young to walk(I figure 1-2 months old is the perfect time XD), also our renfaire doesn't start till the end of august, so it takes place in the autumn mostly, and you have to keep the baby swaddled for them to be warm anyway, so they'll be covered well enough to prevent sunburn. AND ours is set among the trees, so you don't see much sunlight anyway. XD
