Amen to the muffin top pants. Supposedly higher waists correct the muffin top, but I think they just move the muffin top up higher.
Really, though, muffin tops should be the newest fall fashion. Are you with me?
YAY, taggalicious! I already did mine, because I'm very bored today.
Hope Ace is thriving and the sleep training can begin again!
We want some of the same things:
A Roulpat-got it!
New flooring-want it!
Knitting-want to learn someday
Anti-muffin top-definitely want it!
Flats-wanted it for years now!
Hair cut-just got it.
Double Stroller-ya I want it back!
More sleep-gettin' it
Thanks that was fun little get to know ya.
Your frequently used phrase "it's possible, pig" makes me want to spend every day for the rest of my life with you. ha ha ha. i LOVE IT. You are awesome Michelle. I am sorry to hear about your recent hospital "adventure". Liam had croup at the same age and it was TERRIBLE. I know what you mean about sleep deprivation. It will get easier, I promise. Take some caffeine-laced Excedrin when the day gets too long and you'll be a nicer mommy (if you are anything like me :) .....)
P.S. Who is the "Becca" you tagged. If not me...DOH
What a fun meme! Why didn't you tag me? What the hell! Don't you love me any more?
