DH has his tooth out! You would think he had to rip it out with his bare hands and a tweezer! I went through natural childbirth
TWICE . Needless to say, I am not impressed.
I actually LOVE the Caravan, but I owned a Blazer last year and the back seat was very stiff and the kids hated it. When I hauled my big old butt in the back of the van yesterday, it had the same feeling, and 2 kids moaning about being uncomfortable is not my idea of a good ride.
I also love my radio controls on my steering wheel and the computer that tells me
exactly how many miles I can go before I run completely out of gas. (I have actually run out of gas a couple of times.
) Most of the Caravans I have looked at don't have those features. DH and I have decided to save our pennies and possibly get one next year with all of the up-grades.
Mel- Congrats on the job. See... the good vibes worked.
OK- a little about me. I am a 36 year old elementary teacher (and I wonder why I have bad nerves
) I have 2 kids: boy=10 and girl=3. DH is a concrete finisher (and 6 years younger than me- don't ever believe you can marry them young and raise them to be like you want- doesn't work
lol) My baby brother was my best friend. He drove a gasoline truck and was killed in Missouri 7 years ago when his truck exploded- on his only child's birthday. God was gracious and he didn't die until just after midnight- at least his daughter won't have to remember her dad dying ON her birthday. Anyway, my parents have 40 acres in Northeast Arkansas near Jonesboro. My bro and I both had houses next door to my parents. I still live here. We are all very close and do everything together. After my bro's death, I have gained about 70 pounds. At this rate, I figure I will hit 300 by my 40th birthday if I don't do something now. Sooooo.... here I am.
We got our chihuahua six years ago. Mom went with us and he was insane when he saw her buttons on her shirt. He tried to maul them to death... thus, his name.
We had a fire last year in March.
We lost just about everything, but the firemen were friends of ours. When they figured out that it was gonna be a loss, they asked me where sentimental stuff was. They were able to save some of the stuff that was most important. We lived with my parents for 5-6 months and built our own house. We moved in just as school started last year and still have a lot to do. We are going slow and taking our time so that we will come out of this thing with
NO mortgage!!!!
That is soooo liberating!
Well, big baby... I mean, DH
... needs some soup. I will check in later.
P.S. I tried the new Slim Fast ice cream fudge bars....
yum, yum and only 3 points!
This must be a fluke. Someone is gonna have to kick me in the butt though to get me to exercise. I made the mistake of reading a couple of threads about stretch marks and loose skin. 
Has anyone done WATP?
Teachers are the ultimate "borrowers."
