Don't...I repeat...DONT eat a bowl of cereal then do yoga 10 minutes later. BAD idea.

Sara | 53 comments My tip of the day...

Don't assume that when your 4 year old and 2 year old profess to want to play together upstairs in the 4 year old's room that they're not going to get into trouble together....

Little monsters...there's toothpaste all over the bathroom...

Oh well...you're only a kid once, right? At least they smell minty fresh!

Amanda (randymandy) | 467 comments ugh. Milk + exercise. I'm just getting ill thinking about it!!! :)

Paige Anderson | 30 comments My tip of the day . . . .

Do not drink an entire diet soda when you know that the building you work in has a clogged sewer line and the toilets can't be flushed!

Lisa | 8 comments Never..I mean NEVER call your trainer at the gym a skinny b!tch (well, at least not to her face) as she will make you pay for it, and I mean PAY.and.PAY.and pay....

It's been over a week and I still cannot move - even my eyelashes are sore.....

Carrie (missfryer) | 533 comments NEVER decide to go to work when you think you may have the FLU. You will feel horrible when you get home!!

Okay i'm loving the "tip of the day" thread so new day new tip.

my tip of the day....
NEVER ask your husband to please pick out clothes for your little girl without double checking what he chooses. Because only in his mind do pink sweatpants and a green t-shirt with blue flowers on it go together.


message 8: by Sara (new)

Sara | 53 comments What that doesn't match?

I uhh...I need to go change....

haha

My Tip of the Day...

When your 2 year old is yelling at you to get UP...she might just be tattling on her sister.

Don't assume you can go into Costco for just one thing. You can't. You won't.


message 10: by Jules (new)

Jules (juliemetz) | 27 comments On that same note, just because you don't grab a cart does not mean you won't buy way more than you intended!!!! (I am notorious for stumbling through a store with my arms loaded with STUFF I could most definately live without!!)

Paige Anderson | 30 comments "Don't assume you can go into Costco for just one thing. You can't. You won't."

Nope--not Costco---Target or any bookstore. Hmmmm . . . or a shoestore . . . wait---the mall!

There's a reason I don't shop much: when I do shop, I really SHOP.

Staying up to watch presidential debates will not give you any more information than you had before you watched them and you might miss out on who gets sent home on American Idol. My Tip of the Day



message 13: by Christy (new)

Christy (cc730) | 13 comments I agree with not listening to the weather man - but ours were wrong the other way. So everything shut down because we were supposed to get at least an inch of ice. And we got a very light coating. DH still thinks I shouldn't be walking out in it (I have a habit of taking nasty falls while pregnant), so he's glad the whole state shut down.


message 14: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (randymandy) | 467 comments Christy, nasty falls while pregnant does NOT seem like the best habit you could have! I think I'm going to have to side with your DH on this one. :)

banana chips make a great reading time snack with little guilt when you realize youre on page 97 and ate most of them already.

Don't think you can stop with only 60 pages left in a book and do some housework. You wont.

American Idol will suck you in like quicksand. The upside is that its warm and cozy in the sludge.


message 18: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (randymandy) | 467 comments No tip yesterday Tera? I had started looking forward to your daily advice!

Oh, Kenzielu, did your kids get better in time to enjoy some kind of winter fun???


message 19: by Paige (new)

Paige Anderson | 30 comments From my experiences in remodeling land . . .

Do not assume that the super-huge home stores will have anything in stock other than basic white fixtures. I don't know why it just made sense to me that they'd also stock . . . off-white {gasp--how risque'}. So, since the contractor is ready to put in the new fixtures, they're going to be white. Oh, well, I'll make it work.


message 20: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (randymandy) | 467 comments Off-white??? Paige, you are just too edgy to be mainstream! haha I can't believe they didn't have your stuff!

oh i better make it good today then!
My tip of the day thrift stores are the BEST place ever to find deal, but if you dont have time to thrift store shop and you need a fix. Go to craiglsist and in the search box put in your towns name and then the highest amount you want to spend and wait for the e-thirft store fun!
Ill post on my blog later my finds via e-thrift shopping.

Jaymie | 8 comments It's not all that healthy to eat an entire bag of baked pita chips and container of hummus in a single sitting. Even if you do call it "supper".

shaving your legs a half an hour before you have to be somewhere in a skirt will guarantee a nick no matter what you do

Dont wear a white shirt and pick up a baby. It is a beacon for spit, puke, and snot.


message 25: by Paige (new)

Paige Anderson | 30 comments Do not tell your students you have a headache. Even though they will TRY to be good to make you feel better, they're just soooooo bad at it that the attempt is more annoying than their normal behavior.


message 26: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (randymandy) | 467 comments Paige, you crack me up. I hope your headache went away, though!

Dont answer the phone when American Idol is on because it will inevitablly be your mother wanting to talk about what she ordered from A&W the night before you were born. Gotta love mom!


message 28: by Sharon (new)

Sharon Never shuffle around on carpet in slipper socks and then grab your computer mouse. You might just fry the thing into oblivion whilst simultaneously giving yourself a shock that stings like a...well, you know.

(Haha, yes, I am speaking from experience. :D)


message 29: by Carrie (new)

Carrie (missfryer) | 533 comments Never stay up late watching THE HILLS on MTV. It will be a waste of time and you will be sleepy the next day.


message 30: by Amanda (new)

Amanda (randymandy) | 467 comments Hee hee. Poor Carrie. I never could figure out if that was a "real" reality show, or if they intended for the audience to know it is scripted...
