...and I think I've made up my mind on what to do about finding out what it

First, I didn't want to know what it is.  I wanted a surprise.  Now I
realize I am not good with surprises.  :(

Quick (probably not) question for all the moms out here...
A warning, though, as this might contain TMI (I'm gonna do my best to
explain without TMI)
Alright, before A was born, while I was still pregnant, I noticed I had a

A man is dining in a fancy restaurant and there is a gorgeous redhead
sitting at the next table. He has been checking her out since he sat down,
but lacks the nerve to talk with her.

Here's the basic rundown of the situation...
Norm's sister is getting married in a couple weeks.  We have a family
(obviously) invite, and it's a kid friendly, afternoon event without the
booze and party that normally can accompany a wedding.  Lots of kids and

I just read this in another group - first time I've actually had this
pointed out to me, and I nearly busted a gut laughing...
"I have just had this pointed out to me this this morning, don't know if you
would have heard it, but it proves you have to be SO careful naming your

I have just joined this group so am basically saying hello!  I am a

Well, I really don't know - or, maybe, for once, I really do know...
Saturday... Sucked.  Norm went to 'work' but as usual, nothing but a lie.
Came home at his convenience, bla bla bla.  We ended up getting into a
fairly heated argument about lying and trust and all that, and then ...

Hey 'Kate, read in ASG that you started your job!!!! Woo hooo !!!!!!! I
am so very proud for you of your accomplishments. I wish I could say I
was accomplishing anything lately. I am the mother of a mentally ill
adult/child, that is pregnant again. yeah don't faint, found out

Hi!, me again. I'm sitting here feeling really
pissed off with myself. I've got maths exams
soon and I've decided I'm just not good
enough. I'm better than I was a year ago

Customer:  I'm trying to connect to the Internet with your CD, but it just
doesn't work.  What am I doing wrong?
Tech support :  OK, you've got the CD in the CD drive, right?
Customer: Yeah....

Anyways that's my subject line that's posted all by itself,,, should
say something about a little positive news.
It's been quite a while since I originally posted a question about
meeting other single parents. Well I finally found something that seems

It's been one of those days... Well, weeks, I guess...
We have a dishwasher.  Full sized, but portable.  We totally rearranged the
appliances in the kitchen to make this silly dishwasher work when we first
got it 5 months ago or so.  What a pain that was, but eventually, by moving ...

So, I'm out in the yard for most of the afternoon - last 3 hours or so...
Cleaning, picking up stuff, spraying toys, outdoor furniture, rugs,
sidewalk...
I came inside about 10 minutes ago for a little break and to get out of the
