Friday Poll

This question is a personal one, one that Hubba-hubba and I debate all the time. You see, he is incapable of doing it, and his are the type that rattle the dang windows.

Can you hold in your sneezes?


PS They are pretty sure it's a girl!

A girl!! I'm so excited! I hope you don't get a "delivery surprise"! ah, a healthy baby is all that matters. xoxo

I, on occasion, can hold in a sneeze. But in the height of allergy season, I am incapable. I have to sneeze 20 at a time, full force. They must come out, unless I want to lose brain cells.

Holding in sneezes is way too painful, but I always cover my face when I sneeze.

And yay for a girl! Girls are awesome!

I can but I don't like to.

Congrats on a girl! You will have to tell me your secret. There has to be some sort of trick to it because I can't seem to have a girl. lol!

Oh Yay! Just try not to grab up all the cutesy things that is available in the stores. It's so hard though.

I can hold in my sneeze but many times when I do that my ears get clogged. It's been pretty bad for the past few weeks (allergies) and if I am home I rarely hold them in. If I am out especially around folks I sort of muffle it.

Here's to a healthy baby

Girls are way more fun to shop for. :) But as for your question, I can hold it if I hold my nose, but it just blocks up my ears. Instead I just sneeze into a kleenex.

Hooray! A girl! One of the best things? Girls are so much more likely to be able to hold in their sneezes.

I made that up 'cause I felt like it. And, yeah, I can hold in my sneezes.

A girl, hooray!

Sneezes: I only stifle them if I am in a situation where a loud sneeze would not be appropriate.

Ever had to sneeze when you had a mouth full of food and it was too late to control it?!!!

Also: did you know that it is supposed to be impossible not to close your eyes (albeit for a nanosecond) when you sneeze?

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
