Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone!!!! I hope you all can find YOUR turkey!!!

Some pics and Giving Thanks.

Well, I have some pics - but not many - still haven't taken an updated belly pic - the last one was about 3 weeks ago and is a little blurry -

I feel like I am much bigger now - but I guess I will see when I get Joe to take another pic - Here I am about 22 weeks (I am 25 now). I have another pic of me sitting down, but Joe also got the bottom of my gi-normous boob in the shot - not something you all want to see.




Here is one of Joey on Halloween - As you can see he has already started smushing his makeup off - about 1/2 hour after this I had to clean his entire face off and just paint his little nose black with some whiskers - I also had to fix his droopy bow tie! LOL








I know I am really bad at updating - so let me say this now:

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!!!! I hope you and your family are doing well and have a great day. My list of things that I am thankful for:

1. My husband - we have had our rough patches and sometimes life can get the best of us - but I would still marry him today - even knowing what we would go through.

2. My beautiful little boy - I thank God everyday for my little miracle child - When I am pissy about the trivial stuff, I look at him and know that - whatever happens - Life is good and right.

3. These two beautiful babies growing inside of me - thanks to wonderful medical advances. I watch my belly grow and feel my stomach move and bump in awe. I can't wait to meet them - I love them so much already.

4. My family - my sisters, brothers, even in-laws - I am one of the luckiest people in the world - my family may be quirky and bitchy and even fucking crazy - but when the chips are down - I know that I can knock on any door and be let in - no questions asked. I love you all.

5. All of my online friends - especially the IPP - who have kept me sane through this incredible journey. I love you all and don't know what I would do without you.

6. Ally - my other pea in a pod - thanks for listening to my IM rants!

7. My best friend Kim - my cheap psychiatrist - her ear must feel like it is going to fall off sometimes.

8. My other best friend Sue - I may only see her once a month - but she keeps me grounded and cracks me up!

9. The roof over my head, the food in my belly, the clothes on my back. I may not own my house, or go to the finest restaurants or be wearing couture but I am warm and dry at night - which is alot more than alot of people.

10. My job - that it gives me the flexibility to go on paid maternity leave - see my son at his Thanksgiving Parade - or go to lunch with my husband. I may complain - but I work with great people who have respect for my family.


OK - that is my top ten list - I expect to see everyone's on their blog!!!!!!!

Have a great one!

Love,
Jenn

I am the worst blogger in the world!

OK, OK - I know I am the worst blogger in the world! I haven't updated in 10 days. So here is the scoop (or lack thereof)

****Joey News******

Joey is too much lately - he cracks me up every day. I guess it is because he is learning all these things and having different influences in Preschool. Here is just a sample:

(Going to my brother's house at night): "Mom, the moon sleeps during the day and wakes up at night right?"
Me: Yup!
Joey: "That means he is NocTURTLE"


"Mom, it is a full moon out - he must have eaten alot of dinner!"

At the diner, Joey was looking at those things that you put the quarter in and get a stupid toy:

Me: "Joey, don't even think about it"
Joey: "MMOOOOMMMM - I'm thinkin' about it!"

We were arguing over the remote:
Me: "Joe - you are not the boss"
Joey: "Well, when my brother and sister are born, Iwill be the boss of them!"

There is just a sample of my little pip - he is getting so big it breaks my heart sometimes. He got his pictures done for Preschool - they didn't come out that great but hopefully I will get them soon and be able to post.

I have a parent/teacher conference tomorrow morning - My God - it is Preschool people - get a grip!!

****Baby News ******

I went to the doctor last week - got a sonogram - everything is looking great - I am proud to say that Nicholas is hung like a yak! LOL Even the tech said "O My - he definately still is a boy! He is huge! I am giving you a picture of this!" OK, maybe it doesn't sound so professional but I have been going to this doctor for about 10 years.

Both babies are measuring about 1 1/2 pounds - Nicky is about 2 ounces bigger than the girl (yes, we still have not decided on a name for her yet!)

My doctor keeps telling me that he will want me to cut down on work after the first of the year - I haven't told my boss yet - I am just going to see how it goes. It is one thing if there is a medical reason for me to cut down my hours - but I don't just want to do it because that is his protocol - I will take it day by day - I only work 4 days now as it is - and I would like to take as much time as possible off after the babies are born - so we shall see.

I feel pretty good - I am starting to get uncomfortable - and big - but nothing too bad - I have been getting bad heartburn lately that nothing seems to help - bland foods, small meals - doesn't really matter but that is just par for the course.

The babies move around constantly now- it is really amazing that they have any room to do anything in there - but I think they are salsa dancing! LOL

****My husband****

My husband has been working his butt off - trying to get as much work in as possible before the babies are born - I miss him alot but I understand.

We actually went on a date last Friday - we ate dinner at this small Italian place and then saw Derailed - unfortunately we had to sit in the very first row which sucked big time - but it was nice to be out with him alone. He reverted back to the gentleman days - opening the door for me - holding my hand - very very nice.

****Living Situation*****

We have decided to stay in our tiny cramped house until at least the summer - we are making the basement a play room so all of Joey's toys will go down there - which will free up room. I know it isn't the most comfortable solution - but I am so paranoid to take on an added expense before I really know what my expenses will be when the babies are born - since we made the decision I have had less anxiety attacks - so I am sure it is the right decision.

**** My online friends*****

I have been reading all of the blogs....even if I don't comment very often - I usually read them from work so I don't have much time.

Ally: I am so happy that you got an offer on your house and I am sorry that AF fucked with you this month.

Jess: I was shocked to read about AF - I hope you are doing ok.

Lesley: It sucks when the kids are sick! I hope Ayden feels better soon and you get your living arrangements figured out.

Jamie: I am sorry that AF is toying with you this month - she is really a class A bitch. I can't wait to see pics of your floor.

Chas: Love the belly pics - congratulations on the 3rd trimester! I hope you have a great time in Texas.

Liz: I am sorry that your beta was negative - I hope you are doing OK.

Heather P: Great sono pics - I am glad your boy is doing so well - Great job!

Heather M: I am curious to see if your "boy" feeling turns out to be correct.

For anyone I missed: I hope you are doing ok!


Well, I guess that is it for now - I will make an effort to get my pics scanned/uploaded and post them! Talk to everyone soon!

Quick update...

Well, dinner is almost ready so I am going to try and do a quick update - not much is going on really - except I have been feeling a little overwhelmed lately with the twins coming. We were looking for a new place - and found the perfect one - but then I chickened out - I am so nervous that my husband will get slow or I will have to be out of work for longer than I planned that I talked my husband into staying in our tiny house until at least next summer - if not longer. I am just so paranoid to take on the extra expense of a bigger house when I don't know how much these little buggers are going to really cost!!!

SO - basically we are clearing out the basement and making it a playroom and the babies will share a room with Joey - which is fine with him because he didn't want to move anyway - and kept saying "the babies can sleep in my bed with me mom - we don't have to move. I also think that the twins are going to be such a big adjustment for him that I want to make as little changes as possible right now for him.

Work has been crazy - I feel like I have been waiting for the slow season for 4 years now - it is good though - I am hoping to get alot of my big stuff done before I go out on maternity leave.

My boss said that he will be paying me my full salary when I go out which is great - the only thing is he said he may not implement my raise until I come back - which, if I think about it, really pisses me off. The other girl I work with went out in March for the birth of her son and she got her full pay - not to mention that because of circumstances I only took 4 1/2 weeks maternity leave and she got the full 8 weeks - we will see what happens - too early to bitch about something that I can do nothing about.

Joey was Cat in the Hat for Halloween - I will try to upload the pictures soon - the hat was bigger than him! LOL Here is one pic of him in his Preschool Parade:




No - I didn't keep the hat like that - his teacher kept pushing it up - he didn't walk around like that on Halloween.

He had a good time though - so I guess that is all that matters. He got tired of trick or treating after about 10 houses - so that was good for me!




I also have some updated belly pics that I need to upload - I will try to take care of it later.

I guess that is it for now. I hope that everyone is doing well - I tried to comment on all blogs - hope I didn't miss anyone!

Have a great weekend!

Out of the mouth of Babes.....

SO.....I am at the grocery store with my son the other day - and I am trying to put the groceries on the belt - at the same time he is trying to squeeze by me so he can look at the candy. As he is trying to squeeze through - he hits my butt with his head - so THEN he said to me:

(Get ready)

"Mom, Your butt is getting bigger and bigger every day!"

He is SO lucky his mother has a sense of humor!!!!!!

It is official......

I am a super-sonic peeing machine....my life revolves around peeing - have to pee, am peeing, just peed. My children have found my bladder and decided to use it as a trampoline - and boy are they athletic!!!!

I have also decided that my unborn children are already pushy and spoiled. I lie on my left side and my son starts kicking up a storm, I lie on my right side and then my daughter has something to say about it, I lie on my stomach and FORGET IT - they are both pissed off!

So, your natural answer to me would be, so lie on your back right???? WELL, according to the baby books (which I pathetically read EVERY week) I CAN'T lie on my back because it decreases circulation or heart rate or something or other!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On another note, my son and I felt like total crap yesterday - he was couging and sniffling; I was sniffling with a sore throat. We stayed in our pajamas and in bed the ENTIRE day. We ate in bed, napped, watched TV. I have to say IT WAS FABULOUS!!!! It must have been allergies, because the Claritan was the only thing that helped him. He is feeling better now, so that is a relief!

I hope everyone is doing well. Talk to everyone soon.

Names

In answer to Jamie's question.........

Names, now there is a touchy subject! Before I knew what the babies were, we had names all picked out.....

Nicholas Henry for a Boy (Henry after my dad)
Hannah Rose for a girl (Hannah after Joe's mom Anna and Rose for my mom and grandmom)

BUT.....since I have found out that I am, in fact, having a boy and a girl, my husband and I have been at a total loss. Maybe, since I had been planning for SO long, I got bored with the names I picked out...maybe I wanted the picking of names to be new again....maybe I am just a psycho hosebeast that can't make up her mind! So here are the details of the ongoing debate.....


Boys Names:

Aaahh boys names, it is so hard to pick out a name for a boy - a bad name can result in endless playground torture, black eyes, pigeonholed into being a "nerd" or a "geek" or a "sissy boy". I want something strong, something that says "Don't fuck with me or you are going to get the whoop ass of your life."

Since I am not a millionaire, whose child will be privately tutored or attending a cushy boarding school in Switzerland, names like Preston, Biff, Riley, Aquinas, Ceasar, Logan, Parker etc are totally out.

I am also a fanatic about nicknames.....I like Thomas, but not Tom; I like Andrew, but not Andy; I like Richard - but not Rich and CERTAINLY not DICK!

So, my list (along with the pros and cons for each name) are as follows:

Nicholas Henry (My husband isn't crazy about Nicholas - but he likes Nicky - I like the way it will sound if my daughter says "You better back off or my brothers Joey and Nicky are going to kick your ass!)

Benjamin Henry (I like Ben - not so crazy about Benjamin - Husband doesn't like either)

Roman Henry (OK, I know this one is a little off to the side, and while we spent a couple of weeks really liking the name, we pretty much have decided that Roman is too out there for us - we will leave it with Debra Messing.)

Philip Henry (I like Philip - hate Phil. My grandfather's name was Philip, I think I like it better as a middle name, My grandfather was a big OTB gambler - don't think I want to pass that down.)

Andrew Henry (After a child my mom lost at about 6 months pregnant - Love the name Andrew, Like Drew, HATE Andy!)

Patrick Henry (Absolutely adore the name Patrick - it is probably one of my favorite boys names - unfortunately for me, it is also my brother's name, who hasn't started a family yet - I would feel bad taking his namesake from him!)

Disclaimer: I know the name "Henry" is pretty bad - pretty 1940's ish - but it IS my father's name and I like some sort of honorary thing going on with my kid's name. Too bad his name wasn't a better one - I could just name it after him - he will settle for a middle name though.)

So, basically, I think Nicholas is going to win by default - it has the least amount of Cons associated with it.

Girls Names:

OK - so girl's names are just as tricky - you don't want anything that sounds remotely sexual, or rymes with anything sexual or gross. You don't want a name that someone can put in a double meaning sentence
"Hey can I eat an 'Apple'?"
"Donna Do Ya Wanna?"
"Annie with the big Fanny"

Again, you also don't want to pigeon-hole her into something she isn't. You can't name your daughter "Trixie" and not expect her to be construed as the school tramp.

I had a dream a few weeks back, I dreamt that I was holding up my baby girl - over my head and singing "Sophia ~ Sophia". I woke up and told my husband "I think the girl's name is 'Sophia' " He said "Ok".
I went into the bathroom and started singing (to the tune of "Maria" from West Side Story) "Sophia ~ I just met a girl named Sophia". I came out of the bathroom and said to my husband "Maybe it isn't." At which time he groaned and pulled the pillow over his head.

So, the contenders for girls' names are:

Hannah Rose (So used to the name that I think I am bored with it, My husband has decided that he isn't crazy about it. I also don't like the way he says it - he says it like "Haynnah" )

Sophia Rose (I like this one. Joe thinks Sophia is an old lady's name but is getting used to it. We are just worried that she only has the choice of being two things.....That hot looking popular girl with the ethnic name (think Sophia Loren).....or the geek in the corner whose parents tried to glam her up but doesn't live up to her name's potential. We also don't want her to be nicknamed 'Sophie' which is a possibility.)

Isabella Rose (I like Isabella, and I like the nickname Bella, I don't like the nickname Belle or Izzy - Joe's answer is "You really like Isabella???????"

Elizabeth Rose (I like Elizabeth, I like Beth - but I knew an Elizabeth when I was growing up - She had a pig nose and walked like she had this big stick up her ass - she was also a big big bitch - can't get it out of my head.)

Emily Rose (Well, the recent movie just killed this name immediately).


So I think the real contenders are Hannah Rose or Sophia Rose.


Basically, the moral of this story is.....stick with your first names and don't drive yourself fucking crazy!!!!!

Have a good day everyone!

It's late....

But I will try to do a quick update.

Went to the Doctor's today - just a regular OB visit - he said that the babies sound great - he picked up there heartbeats pretty quickly - I didn't get the rates but my daughter's heartbeat is still slower than my son's. It is crazy how you can hear the difference.

My blood pressure is 112/70 - so that is good.

My doc said I am doing a great job - gaining the perfect amount of weight - I gained 5 lbs in the last three weeks - which for a single pregnancy, you are supposed to gain an average of 1lb per week - so I guess that I am doing ok - I have gained about 11 lbs since my first appointment at 10 weeks.

My next appointment is November 8th - I will get a sonogram that day.

Joey is doing well - he was so proud of himself today - for the first time ever he used scissors in school. He cut out the numbers 1-10 and then pasted them to a long sheet of paper - it is hanging in my Living Room right now! (No - his bedroom wasn't good enough - he wanted to hang it where everyone could see it!!!! )

I have to work all day tomorrow - total bummer - I was supposed to be off but, of course, major project with immediate deadline. - what else is new.

I have to go now - it is 10 minutes to 10 and I am so tired.

Ally - I didn't talk to you today - hope you are still doing well.
Lesley - It was so great reading your update - miss you girl!
Jaime - I hope you get more participants in your
engagement ring show - I will definately be watching!
Chas - so cool, feeling Samantha move - you are doing a great job!!
Jess - I hope those spiders get the heck out of there!!!
Heather P - Great belly pics!!!!
Heather M - Update on how you are feeling - you haven't updated in a week!!!
Liz - Good luck on this cycle - I will be keeping track!

To anyone not mentioned - have a great week - hope all is well!

Please say a quick prayer for Angelina ; She had triplets last week, but has developed an infection and isn't doing too well.


Oh - I found this interesting - it is the Social Security site and you can search what was the most popular names in the year that you were born. My mother SWEARS that "Jennifer" wasn't popular in 1973 - Well - it was the #1 name from 1970 to 1984!!!!! You know I sent her that link!!!!! LOL

Have a great day everyone!

I had PB&J and Vegatable Soup for Lunch.....

SO WHY THE FUCK DO I HAVE HEARTBURN????????????????

By Popular Demand:

Here are my belly pics at 19 weeks - Joey wanted to "take a picture with the babies!

Don't mind Joey's underwear - if he is in the house, he is practically naked - he tells me "Mom, I want to be Nakey in my underwear!"

Confession Monday and What I learned this Week...

Well, I told a few of the ladies at TTCOAY that I would try to post on my blog on Confession Monday and 11 Sentence Wednesday, so here goes....

Confession Monday:

I confess that I am very tired today.

I confess that I have been stressing about alot of things and picking on my husband a bit.

I confess that I feel bad about it.

I confess that I started buying some clothes for the babies.

I confess that it is very weird buying pink and purple!

I confess that I already feel like my stomach is going to explode - and I am only 4 1/2 months.

I confess that I miss posting on TTCOAY but at least the women on the Twins Board are really nice - absolutely NO drama there! Thank Goodness.

I confess that I am nervous about how I will get paid during maternity leave if I have to cut down on work come the beginning of the new year.

I confess that I haven't told my boss about what the doctor said yet.

OK - I think that is it for confessions.

What I learned this week:

I learned that even if you pride yourself on being the type that can see the reason behind everything...sometimes, I just don't understand life.

I learned that I was having a boy and a girl.

I learned that one of the guys my husband is doing a job for is a real asshole!

I learned that "The Cat's Meow" is NOT a strip club!

That's it! Slow week I guess.

I hope everyone is doing well today. Hopefully I will talk to everyone soon.

My doctor's appointment

I went to the doctor today........................

Baby A - Is a Boy!!!!!!
Baby B - Is a Girl!!!!!

My son is so so excited.

I am still in shock!

Both babies are measuring at 17 1/2 weeks.....right on schedule!!!

I go back in 3 weeks on October 28th!

Gotta go back to work!!!

Two things

One: My husband felt the baby kick last night - he was so excited - hopefully Joey can feel it soon!!!

Two: Lesley - What is going on with your blog? Every time I try to access it, I get a message saying that I am not authorized to view - Is it something I said??????!!!!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. I have my doc appointment tonight - hopefully the little buggers will cooperate and I will have some news for everyone!

Doc Appt yesterday

Well....no news on gender! At 1:00pm the office called me to let me know that my doctor would not be there and I would be seeing the Nurse Practitioner. When I asked about the sono, they said that there wouldn't be a technician there and I could re-schedule if I wanted to...I said screw it and went anyway.

So here are the stats:

Baby A - heartbeat 156
Baby B - heartbeat 148
Uterus - About the size of 20 weeks
Weight Gain - two pounds in two weeks - nurse said I was on track
Blood Work - All came back great
Blood Pressure - 110 over 60 (I think that is what it was - she said it was perfect)
Cervix - Long and Closed - Woo Hoo - no cerclage yet - I can still have real sex!
Next Appointment - September 28th at 5:30 pm - definately getting a sono so I will know what I am having then (if they cooperate)

The appointment took all of 15 minutes form walk in the door to walk out.


In other news:

My little man started Preschool on Tuesday!!! My God - he is getting so so big - it breaks my heart sometimes.

The way they do it is you pull up in front and they take your kid out of the car - no long drawn out goodbyes - nothing - I know, seems harsh right?

So we are in the car line and he is ok and then he said to me "Mom, I really liked my Old School"

Me: "Well, I know...but let's give this a shot...it probably is really fun!"

Joey: "But....I really liked my Old School"

So, of course, I thought that I was going to have a problem, but when we pulled up he got right out, said "Bye Mom" and went into school......The little shit didn't even look back once!!!!

I know I know...that means I am raising a well adjusted little boy, secure enough that I will come back for him, confident to try new things on his own....yadda yadda yadda blah blah blah.....He didn't look back once!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Then to add insult to injury....he cried when I came to pick him up because he wanted to play on the playground for a little bit. Too much!!!

Finally...

While Joey was at school yesterday, I went Maternity clothes shopping...I bought 3 pairs of work pants, a skirt, two pairs of jeans, 3 sweaters, a t-shirt. I also bought 3 pairs of sweatpants for Joey, a sweat shirt and a Sony Play Station game for my husband.....$205 bucks later!

I needed clothes though.....nothing really fits anymore and I am always so uncomfortable... I couldn't take it. I went to Target....Have you seen the prices of maternity clothes at specialty stores????? So what I have left over from Joey, what I have bought so far and clothes from my Best Friend - I should be set ..... unless I get so big that I have to go out and get mu mus!



So that is my update. I am going to try to comment on blogs now (I am at work...so bad, I know!)

Have a good day everyone!

Not much to say

Well, I don't have much of an update. I am feeling better every day....the sickness is pretty much gone - I get about 5 minutes or so after I eat but absolutely NOTHING to Complain about.

I have been feeling the little ones move a couple of times a day - usually an hour or so after I eat - so that is exciting!

I have been working alot - I know it is early but I am trying to get a jump on all of my end of year work because - to hear EVERYONE tell it - I will be on bed rest sooner than I think. I don't know what it is about reproduction - whether it be trying to get pregnant, dealing with infertility, or actually being pregnant - but everyone and their mother's uncle think they should give you advice......If I want it - I will ask for it!

Joey is being so cute - it is amazing what a 3 1/2 year old (O my God - almost 4 - he will be 4 years old in less than 3 months!) can understand. Every morning he wakes up, come over to me and says "Morning Mama" and then bends to my belly and says "Good morning babies" - then in a squeeky voice says "Good morning Joey" like he is the babies talking!

I am a little upset - Joey has said that he will share both my husband and I with the babies - but when we ask if he will share his Uncle Pat he laughs and says "NNNOOOOOOOO!" I guess I know where I rate on the food chain! LOL

Well, my cable connection is broken for my camera - so instead I will post some pictures of the little man - He has grown so much!!!

Here he is about 3 months on his Christening DAy:


Here he is wrestling with his daddy! What a fierce Creature (don't you love the tighty whiteys?)

This is Joey's first Halloween....We had to put the makeup on him while he was alseep - about 1 hour later his whole face was grey!

He was about 3 or 4 months here - just hanging out on the chair!

Here is Joey on his tree swing - notice what he is sitting on? That is right - it is a spackle bucket - that is my husband - resourceful to the end - not for nothing but HE LOVED that SWING!!! LOL

I hope everyone has a Great day.

Pictures

Baby B's Profile: THis is very hard to see - his head is on the left and his arm is up. Baby B is always harder to see because he is set back a bit.

Baby B's Face - head to the left - very hard to see - left hand by face.






This is Baby A's Profile - head to the left arm up in the air.



Baby A: Face is on the right side of the picture:

Doctor's Appt. Today

I had my doctor's appointment today and my sonogram. Both babies are measuring at exactly the right size (13 weeks 4 days)!

She tried to find out the sex. First she said that if she had to say, she would say that A is a girl.
Then she moved over to B who wasn't cooperating....at the last minute she said that she might see something and B might be a Boy....THEN, she moved BACK over to A and said "Oh Wait - I think I may see something here - A might be a boy....You know what? I just really can't tell right now....next time it will be easier!"So...I still don't know - but that is ok!

I got two face shots of the babies. B is always so much harder to see than A so I have all these great pictures of A and just fuzzy pictures of B. A's heartbeat was 148, B's heartbeat was 142.

My uterus is measuring at around 18-20 weeks so she said I was right on target.

More good news - my right ovary is down to normal! My left ovary still has a few cysts but they decreased by half. My next appointment is in two weeks and the Doc will check my cervix to make sure I don't need a cerclage put in.


Ally - I hope your appointment goes well - you are still probably in there (it is 9:40am your time). I will be on IM until 4ish your time so let me know!

Have a good day everyone and a nice weekend!

I think.....

I may have felt the babies move yesterday when I was driving home. I am not 100% sure but I felt something a little wierd. Then again last night I felt something while I was lieing down. I am only at 13 weeks (I felt Joey at 18 weeks) but I know that subsequent pregnancies, plus having twins, you can start feeling it early.

I really hope I feel it again today - if I do then I will know that it definately was the babies and I didn't just need to go to the bathroom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I hope everyone is doing well!

Idiosynchrasies (I know that is spelled wrong!)

OK - Les tagged me - so here they are. Most of my issues are with food. About 10 years ago, I took a Food Manager's course - that was it for me.

1. I hardly ever, if ever, eat leftovers - I try but it just doesn't happen. I can manage to eat pasta left over - and sometimes Chicken - but definately no beef!

2. If I bring a cold cut sandwich to work, I have to wrap my bread separately from my cold cuts. I even have to put plastic in between the ham, salami and cheese. The thought of my bread touching my meat all day before I eat makes me want to puke!!!

3. I CAN'T Clean out my fridge - that is strictly my husband's job - I feel like I have to run to the bathroom when I do it - Thankfully my husband doesn't mind doing it at all - so that is his job.

4. I can't drink milk on the day "sell by"- even if it is still good - I just can't do it.

5. I am fanatical when preparing any food with eggs - even cake batter - I wash and re-wash my hands, the utensils - everything. I freak out if my son goes ANYWHERE near raw egg. I eat my eggs scrambled WELL - there needs to be some browning of the eggs before I will eat it.


I know - I have serious issues! LOL Have a good one everybody!
