Say Anything.

'Say Anything' is a John Cusak/Cameron Crowe 1989 teen flick. ' A noble underachiever and a beautiful valedictorian fall in love the summer before she goes off to college.' This is actually not what this thread is about, but the message is the same.

Actually no it isn't, I just like imdb.com and the title sounded interesting. /snort

This is not necessarily a vent thread - far from it. This is about saying anything - weather, the bird outside your work window, the fundamental differences between Mormons and catholics, how Law and Order Criminal Intent doesn't get the props it deserves, that I always forget whether it's 'it's' or 'its', that my daughter has a beautiful smile and the first guy that breaks her heart - I'm breaking his knees...it's about anything.

So, say anything.

I'll take your gassy baby and raise you teething, pressure change pain, and potential growth spurt....and 4 month shots next week!

Not to mention the new learned ability of power cat-napping.

My daughter just started her period. So there. :P

Lolanae 18 years ago

AHHHH! You sooo win! I'm SO not looking forward to that in 12-15 years.

Meh - it wasn't a big deal when my daughter did, but I know everyone is different. Here's to an easy transition for your daughter, Darsa!

Darsa 18 years ago

Eh, she's been a teenager since she was about 10... this is just added drama! ;)

Her: :omg "Mumma... I started my period. IN SCHOOL!!!" :omg (in hushed tones)

Me: "Did you go to the nurse for a pad?" (at work, no less)

Her: "Well... no, I had a pad with me. But I was SOOO emBARRASSED!" Yes, I taught her to speak ;)

Poor kid's getting her cramps from me tho, I feel bad. Advil seems to help her out somewhat. :)

I'm such a bad mother, I don't even recall when my daughter started :P But then, like I said, it was pretty matter of fact.

She was 13 though, and at home. She says she was a tad scared, but overall the experience was anti-climatic (I just asked her lol)

Lolanae 18 years ago

Ugh. I hated when I started. My mom was a dork though and called my dad at work and told him. I vow to NEVER do that.

I told Mike I was posting this conversation we had today. It was too bizarre.

'I have a pimple.'
I look up at Mike and he's standing next to me at my desk. It's lunchtime and he's heading back to work. He has his hand tucked into the back of his pants.
'Uh...where?'
Pause.
'It's on my butt. Can you pop it?'
Blinks.
'You realize I'm posting this conversation.'
'It's bugging me, just pop it.' Unzips pants.
'Mike - are you kidding me?'
'No really,' giggle, 'look.'
'I swear to god I'm posting this conversation on tac.' I look at the pimple. 'It's not even ready to pop yet. Put it away.'
Huffs and zips his pants.
'You are fucking crazy.'
He giggles and walks away.

LOL Roz!

CeCe woke up with boobs the other morning. They are little but noticable. I kinda freaked out. I'm not ready! So we went and got some sports bras for her. The only other kind of training bras they had were padded and no 10 year old needs a padded bra.

Darsa 18 years ago

Roz... I'm torn between hilarity and nausea... :teehee

Laschae, I hear ya! When Jen and I went looking for bras, I could not believe some of 'em! And she flatly REFUSED to consider the ones I was looking at... She ended up with this pink and teal-polkadot-THING. :omg And she still refuses to wear bras that aren't "pretty". I said "who do they need to be pretty for??" and then of course I get the patented eye-roll and "Moooom!!" thing *sigh*

Lolanae 18 years ago

Ya'll are scaring me! Can I just keep Alison at this age? Or just skip the teenage years? LOL

Laschae 18 years ago

God don't I wish. I made CeCe promise me to stay little and cute forever but it didn't work out. I gave her the period talk on her birthday and told her what to do if it happens when she's at school, etc. that was frightening. Now Kami is like when do I get my boobs?! I want my boobs!!! I want BIG boobs!!!! I am not amused. At all.

Lolanae 18 years ago

On the subject of daughters growing up, I can now see the teeth trying to come in. Bottom two. Broken thru just enough to be sharp if she nibbles on my knuckle.

Laschae 18 years ago

I hope she's not too cranky I remember the teething part. What fun!

Den 18 years ago

OMG - boobs! My daughter whined about not having boobs from about twelve to about fourteen, when she ultimately got more than the 'bitty titties'. Now she has far surpassed even her own goals I believe.

And Mileron don't you dare tell her I said that :P

Darsa 18 years ago

My daughter's shape is scary. I hate to let her out of my sight. Where she got it I have NO idea. :omg

I WANT TO SEE SMILING SNAGGLE-TOOTHED BABY PICS!! That's my favorite thing, teething baby pics like adorable lil' jack-o-lanterns!! :D

Catherine was getting dressed yesterday and I about cried looking at her body, too. She's almost 9 but she has these abs that grown women die for. She's starting to get her hip shape and she has these long legs that must be from the mailman. I dread junior high.

I dread junior high.

Only Junior high?

hell.

Veb better start keeping ordnance at home because you both are going to need it to keep the rush of suitors away.

And re: Den's Daughter...

No, thanks, I like my soft bits where they have the opportunity to eventually be used, thanks.

Lolanae 18 years ago

I'll post pics when they are in a little more. I still can't believe she's already getting teeth and trying to sit up.

Mileron 18 years ago

Wish I could breathe.

Over the last week, cleaning plus the blooming of the magnolia tree outside my house - 25 feet from my bedroom window - has thrown my allergies into ludicrous speed. And. I seem to now have a cold... either that or my allergies are -just that bad-.
