Or rather, I don't feel it? Ha. Dental anxiety humor. <br /><br />Thanks for all of your support and for letting me mooch your post ideas, Lin. No need to stalk, if and when there's a book you'll be getting one to review ;o) I hate that winky emoticon. <br /><br />the_happy_hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372773477740551839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-61570581765900993812012-08-26T07:42:02.821-05:002012-08-26T07:42:02.821-05:00Thank you, again, for everything Jenzi.

In fact, all four of the kids were floored when their dad walked in. I think that's kind of sad, but at the same time I'm so proud of both myself and of Big Daddy for showing them that we can be supportive at the same time (of course, the fact that he was at a party that I had planned and paid for didn't escape me. Oh well...baby steps).<br /><br />Thanks again for everything, JCS. You rock! <br /><br />And now I'm off to Google.the_happy_hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372773477740551839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-69766703752634447062012-08-26T07:39:11.368-05:002012-08-26T07:39:11.368-05:00Thank you peach!

Although, they do take the kids out shopping now and then, and they've been pretty supportive of Charlie (picking up BD's slack). <br /><br />I agree, Amanda's manchild will see the light. Eventually, they all do (myself included).<br /><br />Thanks for all of YOUR support, my friend.

Sorry he was being a brat to you after all you did but that's an 18 year old for you :/<br /><br />1. I wouldve shed some tears too. Thats beautiful. I say you take this opportunity to call her up at least once a month & get together for coffee.<br />2. Been there. For some reason I always get those suckers on your jaw line.<br />3. Bahaha, I've done that! I could seriously have a broken arm & still get up all quick style, try to play it off like nothin' happened & make sure no one saw me look like a fool.<br />4 & 5. Go Charlie! Also, free movie tickets are always a good way to thank your mom.<br />6. Lamesauce. Sometimes youre better off alone.<br />7. I'm sure you did fine. I mean, if you stayed exactly the same, that's still a win.<br />8. Haha, little boobies aren't so bad. At least, this is what I keep telling myself.<br />9.I'm sure he's going to say you're amazing & youre gonna be on the NYTimes Best Sellers list in no time. Having said that, I hope you'll send me a signed copy so I dont have track you down all stalker style haha.<br />10. My husband's the same way. The dr actually prescribes him valium to take before bed the day before his visit and an hour before his appointment. It's bad.<br /><br />A new job, almost 20 lbs gone? Damn, you go girl!Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180987728892745670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-41101400572766306562012-08-25T21:06:43.312-05:002012-08-25T21:06:43.312-05:00Jenny, it truly was a wonderful party. You did a g...Jenny, it truly was a wonderful party. You did a great job with it, and I am GLAD to hear Charlie appreciated that! (I wonder if he was acting, um, "difficult" toward you beforehand because he was wondering and worrying about whether his dad would show, and having mixed feelings? I should know better than to try to read an 18-year-old's mind, so just a wild guess...and it doesn't excuse him acting like a jerk either! So I'm so happy he thanked you properly, after all!) I'm really relieved BD's family was so great to you, too -- and that they still consider you part of the family. Just about made me tear up reading about what your MIL said! <br /><br />Speaking of your ex: I don't think there was any problem with you two saying nothing to each other while he was there. That's how I'd have handled it too. It's probably a good thing his path never crossed mine. I'd have had a hard time not saying to him, in a cheerful and friendly way, "Vittun runkkari!" No, that does NOT mean "Jesus loves you, have a great day." It's Finnish, and it ain't pretty. I think it fits him well...Google it if you're curious :) I know, insulting your friend's ex in another language might not be mature or classy, but it's a lot more so than BD's treatment of you and the kiddos. So there!<br />Congrats to Charlie again on graduating, his new job, and starting at MCTC. He WILL be just fine. With you as his mom, truly he can't go wrong. And congrats to YOU on being a fabulous mom and friend, on the weight loss, and again on your new gig!JCShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206618987380198579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-91300010164820299192012-08-25T03:40:06.359-05:002012-08-25T03:40:06.359-05:00Aww so happy that things went so well for Charlie!...Aww so happy that things went so well for Charlie!

Glad the in laws could rise above everything.. having said that, I wish they would help you more.. after all , as they said, they are still the kids grandparents! <br />I am so happy to hear Charlie is manning up! You have been nothing but a great supportive mother, so I have no doubt he will be just fine! It takes a lot for an 18 year to get motivated, let alone doing it alone with no father figure to help him out. So kuddos to Charlie for stepping up! Amanda, yours will too! The choices eventually have consequences and now those consequences aren't from you. they are from society and friends. <br />So happy to hear you go the JOB! Of course I knew you would! <br />Thanks for all your support!

I was very close to giving Charlie his own shelf in the fridge and telling him to buy his own damn groceries (but my fridge is really small so I scrapped that idea). <br /><br />Aaron needs to knock it off. And so does the ex-MIL. <br /><br />YAY! Looking forward to your visit..I have the MN Blogger conference all day that Saturday but I hope one of those nights you'll let me go out and party with you guys!!

Until then, if you see me stop mid-stride and act like I lost something in one of my pockets, it's just that my drawers have fallen down to my knees. <br /><br />And LOL at "fist pumpy". That's funny. In fact, I gave the moniker "Jonny Fist Pump" to a fella a while back. Someday I'll tell you about him. <br /><br />As always, thanks for reading (and for being a friend).<br />the_happy_hausfrauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07372773477740551839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-86393666028619058552012-08-23T09:26:52.519-05:002012-08-23T09:26:52.519-05:00Good for Charlie for "manning up"!!! It...Good for Charlie for "manning up"!!! It makes me so happy for you, and yet so sad for Michael. He couldn't find a job if he was locked in a bathroom with one. And, as far as school's concerned? He informed me he 'didn't really want' to go and therefore conveniently did not register in time. He spends his days eating as much of my food as possible (kid's getting chunky) and making messes. Oh, and of course playing on the computer. When Aaron decides to get on the parenting pony, he doesn't agree with anything I say or do. The stress is about killing me. Long Minnestoa weekend with the new boyfriend: September 20th!!!<br />Also? Yay for your in-laws. My mother in law will pretend I no longer exist. I think the boys might actually be considered 'ex-grandkids' in her eyes, but that's another story. ;-) Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466143468246723860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-90089171525339228732012-08-23T09:22:29.041-05:002012-08-23T09:22:29.041-05:001.

It is automatic for me to fling my arms up like a gymnast sticking a landing, whilst mumbling, "Ta dah!" Then I look around.<br /><br />4. Yay for the free movies! One of Evan's friends works at the local theater, so he has seen EVERY movie that came out this summer, some twice. One of his recent reviews: "The Expendables 2 was so fist pumpy, my arm is sore!"<br /><br />5. Good for Charlie!! Very impressed that he did it on his own.<br /><br />6. Looking forward to the blog :)<br /><br />7. Super impressed at your weight loss!! I gave up after about a month, & I'm pretty sure the 3 1/2 lb I lost have all come back. You have some scary will power!<br /><br />8. Go on a shopping spree for new underwear. You've earned it!<br /><br />9. Loved hearing about this...Molly has a wonderful role model, as do your boys.<br /><br />10. I don't have dental phobia, but I have severe dental laziness. I think it's been a year & a half since I've been to the dentist. Mostly because my dentist has the worst hours so I can't possibly schedule an appointment without putting in for a vacation day from work (M-th, 8-4, I think). And I'm too lazy to find a new one.<br /><br />And SUPER CONGRATS on the new job!!!!!Bethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7377914227915645124.post-65298150344925315472012-08-23T09:20:47.426-05:002012-08-23T09:20:47.426-05:00You are a wonderful person, Mara.
