I wonder if my friends are the best or my personal hygiene and care is slipping.

My husband grabbed my pants by the belt loop and mentioned I missed one. Again.

My female colleague announced my fly was down.

A friend told me I needed a tissue because I had something white…and pantomimed wiping her nose.

Back to my husband. He often wipes flour or whatever I’ve spilled off the front of my shirt. Quite often I can’t see anything on the front of my shirt which makes his actions suspect. But then I can hardly blame him for checking. During my last pregnancy I refused to buy maternity clothes and simply hijacked his polo shirts. I returned all of them when I was finished but he couldn’t use them. They all had stains in all three spots where I stuck out. I don’t recall him wiping flour or other foodstuff from shirts I was wearing at the time even though there is plenty of evidence I was wearing foodstuffs often.

If I were a clever girl, I would purposely pat flour on myself before he comes home. I think I just might try that tomorrow.

    Every single maternity shirt I own has spots on it... in all the three places I stick out too. LMBO The only clean shirts I have are the shirts I sleep in, because I'm asleep when I wear them.
    My mother is notorious for spilling something on her shirt, she hardly ever wears just a white shirt anymore because of it. So maybe it's genetic

    I hardly have any shirts without stains on them...and Im not prego. They are either dotted with bleach spots because Im a bit of a bleach freak around my house or there are stains from where I spill food on the "girls"

    Haha, same here with the husband! He thinks he is hilarious wiping "imaginary" food off my chest in public. Seriously? Does anyone fall for that?

    If hubby's not holding a Shout Wipe when he cleans you up, it is considered foreplay.

    LOL- Too funny! I was constantly spilling when I was pregnant. Must be something ingrained in women to prepare them for the mess of children. :)

    Thanks for the comment you made as the 30th looms near. It was exactly what I needed to hear at a time when I needed to hear it.

    What a hoot! My husband is exactly the same! And he is the one who wouldn't hold my hand in public when we were dating as if it were some major PDA!!

How To Be A Dedicated Neurotic

Going through old files from graduate school, I found an invaluable pamphlet. Be a Dedicated Neurotic Remember the Past. . . and Regret it. Abhor the Present. Dread the Future. 1. Become preoccupied with the body, and make a long list of symptoms. Make them sound very clinical and professional... 2. BLAME your boss, your spouse, your partner, your neighbor, your kid. THEY are responsible for your miseries. 3. Feel trapped. You couldn't possibly declare your own independence without hurting someone's feelings. 4. Overeat. Rationalize and eat! Eat an insulated wall around yourself. Diet for a few days and say it doesn't work for you. 5. Self-pity. No matter what, feel sorry for yourself. Agonize over things about which no one cares. 6. Don't ever try. That way nobody can really accuse you of failure. You can always say, "But I could have done it." 7. Stress how shy you are. Insist that the world must come to you. You're special. 8. Your agg...

Pioneer Trek

Utah was founded by the Mormon pioneers in 1847 after enduring unimaginable losses and seeking a place of peace. July 24th marks the anniversary that the first wagon trains arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. Their numbers were greatly diminished by crossing the country in wagons and handcarts, dying of scurvy, tuberculous, malaria, starvation, unidentified fevers, and freezing to death. This, they found preferable to facing the extermination order put forth by Governor Boggs of Missouri. I believe this is the most courageous act of faith - to leave all they had that was familiar and travel the rough terrain in the unknown in search of a place where they could worship in peace. My daughters left this morning for a small re-creation of what the pioneers experienced. I don't love the idea since I know so many of the pioneers died but it is a way for many of the youth to connect to their ancestors and understand what many of the early members endured for their faith. The youth were asked...

Flu

The flu has been making its way through our family.  The first to be hit was the 15 year old.  She was very, very angry.  At me.  She had been begging for the flu shot for the past three months.  I kept forgetting.  She got better but it's one more thing to discuss on her future therapist's couch. Today I picked up my 5 year old from school.  He told me about making valentine's for his friends and how he gave his valentine to his best friend, Chase.  Chase is the little boy who grabbed my scarf on my way to my car today, looked at me earnestly and yelled his telephone number to me so fast I couldn't process it then ran away. "Today I felt so sick." "Why didn't you call me to pick you up?" "I told Teacher but she didn't call you." "What did you say?" "I told her my head hurt and I felt dizzy." "What did she say?" "She told me I wasn't sick." I took mental note to talk to his teacher about c...
