Can you simulate a cheerleading costume (pleated skirt, fitted sweater (you know that one you grew out of because your baby made you go from a B cup to a D cup). Wooden stake. Buffy The Vampire Slayer. A fedora and french baret (sp) can get you close to Bonnie & Clyde. Can you get some wigs and go as John & Yoko?

doctor and a nurse. (Though it's hard to find a nurse that's not trashy.) I just bought a lab coat and white tights, and wore white shoes, white skirt, white shirt, and wore a Fisher Price stethoscope. I made a hat out of paper. DH wore a lab coat and a nametag and a stethoscope. I have other ideas, but this is the most basic one.

1 reply [ Reply | Watch | Options ]I used to live there and I used Sitters in the City a few times. I think the service changed to www.studiositters.com. If your staying at a hotel, ask the concierge if they can recommend a service.

[-]Chicago Moms - we will be in Chicago in a couple weeks. The Navy Pier certainly looks like fun for families, but is it like our Pier (santa monica): filled with lowlifes and slimy people who keep you checking for your wallet? just curious, we'll probably go anyway as we're travling with three kids, but just want a heads up.

what does him being younger have to do with needing help getting over him? Why do you keep stressing that he was a younger man?
[ Reply | Options ]BECAUSE I FEEL BY ME BEING OLDER THAT MEANS I WOULD HAVE TO DO ALOT OF TEACHIN.I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR 9 YEARS AND I FEEL LIKE I WOULD BE GIVIN UP ALOT FOR A MAN THAT MAY NOT BE READY.
[ Reply | Options ]No 23 year old is going to be ready, one of the reasons the relationship was so intense is because you are married so he knows there will be no pressure on him to step up to the plate.
[ Reply | Options ]well he didnt no we were still marrried that was kind of to tell because i thought if i told him he would not treated me the same.he did things for me that my husband did not do like show me love he put me first not his work and that made me feel good.but their was one thing he know i was comin into sum money so that just made me feel like the love was not real.he would always ask me to show him how much money i was getin and he would always tell me if im the one he want to spend his life with.he would always come to me and say that he think we should just be friends because he couldnt get my money off his mind.

[-]WWYD? Every year, my in-laws dictate every day of the holidays and Christmas is a 3 day event.Christmas Eve starts at 2PM and doesn't end under well after midnight. Kids open presents all day. Then Christmas Day our DCs are too exhausted to open Santa's gifts and then the festival starts all over again. And then the day after all of the "cousins" have to get together to play with the toys and by this time they are banging off the walls. Now mind you they NEVER ask when we will see "MY" family or when my family will see the kids. This year I want to have Christmas Eve by just the four of us-me, DH, DD and DS. Is that so wrong? Is that selfish? Will that cause havoc? Isn't it time for us to have our family traditions?
11 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]i fully support you. how do your DH and DCs feel? if you can all agree, make a new tradition. if it's important to them to keep doing it the same way, however, you may have to compromise. but you are certainly entitled to make time for your family, even if it causes havoc. no good reason not to share Christmas if your family celebrates it too.
[ Reply | Options ]Your in-laws dictate because you follow their directions. Stop following their orders and take charge of your life.
[ Reply | Options ]"Well it's important for the kids together and see each other." "It's a tradition we've had for years." "I may be dead soon-I want to see the kids as much as possible." How do you deal with that? We tried this a few years ago when I was 8 months pregnant and there was a snowstorm but we had to go.

Have your dh call them and say that you two together have decided to start a new tradition of Christmas Eve at home. Then he can tell them what time you'll all show up Christmas Day.
[ Reply | Options ]You have to tell her now (and give plenty of warning) that you AND dh have decided to create your own traditions as a family. You will attend (fill in blank) at her house but on (fill in blank) you will be celebrating as a family of 3. Don't ask her permission or opinion. You can say change is hard, I know - but as someone who so completely enjoys "family tradition" I'm sure you will understand our desire to make our family traditions too. And say no more (and DON"T cave). If she objects and says whatever - you say, I'm sorry. That is the phrase to her objections and death threats, I'm sorry. That's it. You are right by the way, as long as you come up with a healthy balance.

[-]I just learned today that I have miscarried. I have 2 beautiful children (4yo and 2yo This baby was a surprise, but I'm so devastated by this loss. I just turned 41 yo and was worried about my age. My doc says I appear to still be very fertile and that we can try again. Anyone out there who has been through this? I know so many women over 40 who have children, but I guess I just need to hear it all again. Thanks
6 replies [ Reply | Watch | Options ]40 or close to 40 is becoming a fairly common age to have a 2nd or 3rd child. I am so sorry about your miscarriage and hope for joys in your future.

I can imagine that it is devastating...especially after reconciling that you were going to lovingly welcome the surprise. We do all need to keep in mind that the older we get, miscarriages are often a way of preventing a life from being born that would have to shoulder the burden of chromosomal deformities. I am newly pregnant with my second and have my fingers crossed that all will go well, but hope that my body will recognize an issue if there is one and act accordingly. The good news is that you are fertile and if you want to have another child, you are lucky enough to do so. Although you need to grieve this loss, don't wait too long to try and conceive again if that's the plan. Good luck.

I wouldn't do anything with that prominent of a logo. I like MZ Wallace for knocking around totes/bags.

are you crazy fashion mom who claims to have been wearing skinny jeans since 1998 and is now on to some imaginary "hot" trend? Claiming that an entire designer who's only been around for what? five years? is "over" is absurd.
[ Reply | Options ]I would agree and disagree on some counts. If you love something, it fits you well, looks good on you, and it works with your lifestyle, then it never needs to be "over." But if you wear something with a big logo, and you wear it because it's trendy or was at one point, then it does look silly after a period of time.
