LOL! I now have a 5 month old, and my 8 year old kept creeping into our bed. One night I just said, I can't. He had to go. We only have a queen sized bed, me, hubby, baby and 8 year old - too much. If he gets up in the middle of the night, I just tell him he can't stay. I know, I'm awful, but I need to get sleep. I already breastfeed every two hours, I can't also not sleep.

Parenting is hard. You have to do what you have to do to survive!

I could ditto a lot of people here. I love Christmas - especially through my son's eyes. I remember his first Christmas where I just wrapped up boxes and he loved opening them and loved playing with them. I love sitting in front of the fire, watching movies talking with my immediate family (yeah, just my husband). I love the gift giving, not because I don't believe that my husband doesn't love me, but actually taking the time to get me something from his own heart is the best thing ever. He gets very busy and sometimes needs a reminder to show it (birthdays, V-day, Christmas).

I hate lists... I want to see what you think of me. Not in a "I'll hate you if you don't get me something I want" kind of way. Just in a "I thought of you and I thought you'd appreciate this." And sometimes, it comes out harsh because I get crap. I don't mean like just a bad gift, I mean like, that gift that you only pick up because it's by the door and you said "oops, I forgot her, I should get her something". If that's the most you think of me, don't get anything. It hurts less. And I wouldn't care.

My recent post Carrot, Egg or Coffee Bean?

Yes, but there are TONS of people out there who do have the audacity. I think that's what Amber's trying to say. They start out saying that the schedule is fine, but then once hired tell the employer that the schedule doesn't fit their needs.

But is it fair to the employer to adjust what they need because others need a flex schedule. Some jobs just aren't that flexible.
My recent post Applying for Jobs?

I agree. The people that I know on unemployment have stopped looking long ago because they couldn't find a job of their worth. No, if you want to keep the exact same lifestyle, you can't live on unemployment, but if instead, you downsized, sold a car, moved in with a family member, you can quickly learn to live within those means. Because cutting costs is a lot easier than working a job that you feel that you're better than.
