[QUOTE="Just keep swimming, post: 40384, member: 211"] Great topic! There are sooooo many things I laugh about or joke about with husband or only a few others or here on the boards about gfgness. Aly has had issues with drooling at night since, well, forever. When she wakes up in the morning, she is supposed to go into the bathroom and wash up, brush teeth, etc. This morning she came out, jammies still on, dried drool everywhere and obviously still mussed bed head hair. I asked if she forgot to do something before coming into the kitchen for breakfast and she said "Well, mom, thought I'd go for the just woke up look today" OMG, thought I'd bust a gut! She hasn't the best sense of humor and often doesn't get jokes, so it totally cracked me up to hear her say that!! husband asked me the other day is we might have been better off if we had just started breeding our golden retrievers, instead of adoption. Believe me, he was totally joking, he adores his girls! But if someone had overheard, yikes! I answered with, no, at least these kids are potty trained (well working on it at least with the 3 yo! LOL) My good friend called tonight, she was having a really rough day with her adopted 3 yo daughter. We bantered back and forth about taking the lowest bidder for our difficult child's. Then we both said at the same time "wait, our phones are probably bugged by CPS, better watch what we say!" OMG, it was just classic! My Foster boxer dog, Gama, sleeps in a crate in our living room. All the kids love to get in there. One day, Jayme got her pillow, fav blankie and some books and a doll, and "locked" herself in the crate for some quiet time. I took a picture, it was so funny and cute. When the pictures were developed, husband says "well there's one to send to CPS!!" For those of you who remember what happened a while back with us and CPS, you know this was a funny!! My best friend adopted Jayme's 3 oldest sis'.
