My Mum was so proud of me for coming LAST in the dreissng up race at school (I was 7) because instead of just throwing on the different items at each stop, I put them on carefully, arranging each belt, tie, hat etc to compliment the trousers and blouses that I'd put on at the start! I sashayed in ten minutes after everyone else but perfectly accessorized and rockin' a look I would probably call Hobo-Chic :-) love Ree xPS What's your Ree short for? Mine's Marie x

Here's the deal. There are aliens (way) out there, but they prbaboly don't know about us. If they did, they would care, because of Earth's perfect conditions for life, and our sentiency. You could kill one with a shotgun, but it there's a planet full of them so you wouldn't want to. Nobody can know for sure whether or not alien sightings are true, but all things considered is it really reasonable to just assume that the explanation is that advanced aliens actually abduct people from the south?

I think people have been doing crap with babeis that are way more involved/intense/worse/etc. then packing up and moving to an outdated house in the burbs. So yeah. I think it's fine. I think she's stupid if she gets a house that's been stripped to the studs. Or she gets a house that's falling down. Or she gets a house that she wants to/needs to change around plumbing, update electrical/change roof/fix a s*** foundation (AKA major money sucks. But moving to an old home, that they can afford on Kenny's salary, with a baby? Yeah, I think that's fine. But that's just me. I'm kind of tired of women now thinking they can't do anything within a year of having a baby, or without ALL the gadgets, and whatnot. Yeah, it's going to be tough as hell. But she's basically a stay at home blog mommy. Anyone with a modicum of smarts can do this. Slap that kid in a sling and DO s***. Now whether you think they will make these smart choices (buying an actual affordable home. Buying one that isn't a total disaster from the start ) is another question. Jordan isn't exactly Einstein. We know this. But the concept that one shouldn't move/buy a home/whatever with a baby is ridiculous.

Thanks so much for the birthday wieshs dear sister in Christ (and the slap in the face on my pity party... a;lsdka;sdlkjf). Oh, and you read my post wrong... my hubby was gone last year... he's here today, and my sweet sister-in-law is having the kids spend the night (I have to pick up the one year old), so please pray that the others will be fine (4.G.5 had a hard time last time she stayed over... daddy's girl). Thanks again sweetie!Blessings,Amy

a0Every one will be deeply tuchoed by my son\'s deep love to his Mum, so do I. In China, it\'s not popular to express personal feelings to each other in a family, except between dating girl and boy. We experienced our true love by gradually to understand each other and knowing that to love his/her child does not mean to force him/her to follow the parents wills, but try to communicate more to see where is the best solution.Love sometimes shows its selfish, but more sharing and giving can go as long as we enjoy it.Your Mum is the happiest one in the world to have such a good son, like you! May you make a good progress, to be God\'s good son.

Happy 30th Birthday James. hope u have a great day.

India sounds fantastic! We hope to go in few years, really want to do the hill railways.

Looking forward to Em and Joe's Housewarming. Shame you will not be back.

Enjoy the last few weeks of your experience.

Love

Annie and Chris
