    Shoes with Wheels! Would you want to try them?

    Boy that title had me thrown for a second there. I've had more than one kid zip out in front of my grocery cart. I don't think wheeled shoes would make work for me any

    Out of nursing program cause i am smoker!!!

    I worked with one of those. Whine, whine, whine that her husband was a jerk, cheated, i mean to ANYONE that would listen. Someone would say "leave him" she would whine "i caaaaaan't, it's...

    Clogs while nursing

    I figure it this way: when my facility decides to buy my shoes for me, then they can be obsessive-compulsive about what i wear. That doesn't mean i'm going to wear flip-flops, but that does mean that...

    we're pregnant

    As for the pregnancy thing: She's pregnant, we're expecting a baby. Well 'expecting a baby' somewhat bothers me. When someone's pregnant, it's not like you're expecting a puppy to come

    I'm from the i-married-my-best-friend crowd. I can live with that much better than being from the we're-staying-together-for-the-kids crowd. As for the babysitting thing. He's not babysitting the...
