So I know I have like 8 months, but I'm thinking about Halloween. I'm thinking of doing Cinderella with Gus the mouse. Think people would get it? I plan way in advance because I like to sew the costumes and it takes awhile.
I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. I'm still trying to recover from the Great Hair Disaster of January. It looks like shit, but hopefully my guy can eventually get it back into something I want sitting on my head. And since T won't take a bottle, and my guy is far away, I only have time for a cut, no color. I haven't had color since before he was born....so it's like, 1/4 gray, 1/4 brown, 1/2 auburn. It is not pretty.
I'd come hold him in the waiting area if I lived by you! Do you have anyone that could do that for you?
hairballs I know how you feel. My heart lives somewhere else, too. Being away from family is so hard. I get homesick often and when I visit I have total anxiety and depression when the time comes to go back to NY . ((((Huge hugs)))))
Hugs back to you. You have described exactly how I feel bith before & after a trip home. I always tell my husband it is a testament to how much I love him that we keep coming back to ND after our trips home (most of the time it is just me & the girls who go)

I turn into such a hippy when I'm pregnant. I'm skipping watching SOA with Patrick because I can't handle the violence and I'm sitting here listening to new age music. I did this with Zoe, too.
hairballs I am here because of my H and his job, too. When we got engaged, the deal was that when he retired we would go back to my home. Back then it seemed like I had an eternity ahead of me and now we are down to the last 700 some odd days. It's such a sacrifice.... I completely understand.
If I was a Californian, I would never be able to leave!

I cried so much when I was pregnant and watched SOA. I can't wait for Kurt Sutter's new show. I don't even know what its about. Lol
The last episode I watched involved Tara, Gemma, and a kitchen. I just can't right now.
Abbey is so smart and such a good dog! She is 98% house trained and can already sit, come and stay on command.
That is so awesome! You hit the jackpot! Hearing this and seeing photos of her, remind me of LT as a puppy. He was so easy to train and was super mellow! I'm so glad that you got a great dog!

I can only hope she'll be as sweet and well behaved as LT. He was such a great dog.

Hey hairballs what part of Northern California are you from? I was born and raised in Sacramento.
I feel you on the homesick thing. I've lived in the Carolinas for 9 years now, but I miss my extended family. What sucks the most is a lot of my family left CA as well. We are all so spread out over several states that it is hard to get everyone in one place now. I haven't been back home in almost 3 years!
I feel like a weirdo because I don't get homesick really at all. I used to at first, but not at all anymore. Like if I never went back "home" again, I would be perfectly okay with it. Whenever we do visit, I feel like I'm going pack in time to my past, and I don't want to do that. My past is in my past for a reason.
William is officially sleeping in his new room for the first time tonight. I almost cried when dh told me, "he's officially not your baby anymore." I also wanted to punch him. Ha! William will always be my baby and I don't care what anyone says!
I don't ever feel an urge to return to where I'm from. My MIL lives in the mountains nearish to my hometown, so sometimes we swing through, for my grandparents' benefit, but if it wasn't for my dad and the complaining he gets from his dad, I wouldn't bother.
I just realized I posted in yesterday's night randoms thread. Oops. Well, here it is here. Abby's watching "Tangled" for movie night, and, although I love it, the climax scene bugs me.
What right did Eugene have to cut her hair?? It was her hair! Maybe she had another plan and wanted to keep it.
Plus, how dumb was it to risk dying when she was just about to save him? It could just as easily have been cut after the fact.
But the scene with her parents--that hopeful look and them racing down the hall gets to me every time.
Tangled is horribly depressing to me but Madison loves it. Â She has been telling me lately that "I love you more" and so I think she thinks i'm horrible like mother gothel. Â She also thinks Eugene is Rapunzels Dad. Â Kid is confused.
Olivia is also confused. She was watching Tangled tonight and kept commenting that Eugene was Rapunzel's dad.
I am soon tired today but I have to stay up and watch MSU basketball. I wish they didn't put the games on so late, I am old dammit I can't stay up past 11!
I stayed up too! My brother in law went to MSU so when Syracuse isn't playing, we are Spartan fans. It's awesome that they are playing here in town and my brother in law drove in from OH to go to the game. Fun weekend!

My mom would do it when she's in town, but I don't know when she's coming next. DH could if we do it on a Satursay, but we'd have both boys, and that sounds miserable! The drive alone is about an hour each way, and the appointment is about 3 hours.

Not a weirdo. It's a Colorado thing right, @therealmc?
Oh man, I don't get homesick at all. I envy people who do because I'm assuming it means they had better experiences in their childhood. When I visit "home" (which could be one of several places) I'm mostly just grateful I don't have to live there anymore.

I don't get home sick of the actual location. Just the people. And most of my friends and family have also gotten the hell outta that crap hole of a town sooo...

It's called The Executioner (I think) and it's set in the 14th century, I believe. Katey Segal is playing a leading female role and Kurt Sutter is actually going to play her husband. Charlie Hunnam might even be on for a season or so! I can't wait!
I don't ever feel an urge to return to where I'm from. My MIL lives in the mountains nearish to my hometown, so sometimes we swing through, for my grandparents' benefit, but if it wasn't for my dad and the complaining he gets from his dad, I wouldn't bother.
I will never feel this urge, I don't think. I do miss certain family members at tomes but never where I am from.
Yes! I actually get anxiety about the fact that if anything ever happened to Charles I would have to move back to buffalo and be stuck there forever. I have dreams of getting a house some day that has an inlaw suit or apt over the garage so my mom can live there, but never going back to my hometown.

I don't live very far from my hometown, but I never feel homesick. The most appealing things in my town for me are lolaburns and the mall, lol. My family stresses me out and I hate running into people I know.

Sonoma County, north of San Francisco.
My immediate family & extended family all live in the Bay Area. This definitely adds to the sadness, we miss a lot of family functions.

Oh my gosh how cool! I would love to go to the games. We went one year when they had the first and second rounds here in Detroit. I fell asleep during halftime and woke up with like 5 min left so kinda worked out! I am so excited they won.
lolaburns Where is your family in CA? I think you told me before, but I don't remember. Nor Cal? Are you coming back after those 700ish days?
I grew up in southern Louisiana. After my first NYC winter, I decided I was definitely NOT staying here. All the Californians I went to school with said I definitely belonged in South Cali! I agreed and was headed there upon graduation.
Then I met my husband and I got stuck here...
I never respected where I grew up until I left it. I miss the culture, art community, food, second lines, jazz music on the corner, the Spanish miss that hands mysteriously, sunsets over cypress trees....
I won't miss it here when we leave. I worry about my H because I would imagine it would be strange to grow up in Manhattan and live somewhere else. He wants to leave even more than I do, though.

I've been meaning to ask you if my Class Mom experience would be what you consider normal. LOL :I
