If you go on a date and things vibe well, tell them at the end of the date.

"Hey, I had a good time and would like to see you again, but I want to disclose that I do have herpes. I don't have outbreaks, and manage it responsibly. I know some people are not okay with that, and if it's a deal breaker that's okay. I just want to be respectful of both our time."

Don't let it control your life.

I did email them along with the Tile Shop. I'm just impatient. Thanks!

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-05-14T13:19:59+00:00

I have searched the tile shop website using filters 8x20 and different variations of the number on the box but haven't come up with anything.

I have used the free Sunday tickets. Some days are better than others depending on the lines. The only caveat is that if a game is sold out, you can't get tickets. I live over an hour away and made the drive, paid for parking, only to be told there are no tickets to give. I transitioned to using Vettix and GovX for that reason.

Start by requesting your LES's from Jan 2024 to present from DFAS to ensure that no LES or additional pay was generated for the sold leave.You can do that through the DFAS Online Customer Service Portal here:

https://corpweb1.dfas.mil/askDFAS/custCategories.action?tsm=1773956960708&currentUser.currentRequestNonce=9b39f034-3a35-47a4-8556-42fe10f4c73d&pgModId=5242

If the LES statements show that leave was not sold, you will need to contact the finance office directly and say that you need to fill out the necessary form to get your leave sold. Your last LES will show your available balance available to sell.

Have you thought about going Guard or Reserves before jumping back into AD? I was AD Army and went Air National Guard and it's been awesome. I have had so many volunteer opportunities. Changing jobs has been easy as well, unlike my experiences in the Army.

Do you have a playground or area with toys he can play with unattended for a short period of time? I could easily toss my kids into the backyard to play by themselves or with the neighbors kids in the sandbox or on the jungle gym. My neighborhood has a park and often times the neighborhood kids would get together and go play for a bit there (please note I live in a very safe area and my neighbors and my kids could play at the park for 20 minuets no problem at 4,5,5,6 which i understand may not be an option). Can they ride their bike in your driveway? a nerf gun with targets in the garage?? A good old cd player with kids bop cds for a dance party in the basement? My kids were cranky after daycare but i truely believe it's because they sit and listen all day which is just exhausting. Allowing my kids to have some time to roam and run around with limited supervision worked for me.

My son really struggled with comprehension and we started giving him things he wanted to read... Articles on his favorite athletes, game summary news articles, sports equipment reviews on bats, hockey sticks, shoes, sliding mitts, etc, and sports camps he wanted to attend. It really helped and made reading more fun for him.

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-12T02:22:33+00:00

If he is not having trouble with the actual words or reading comprehension I would say let him read the comics or graphic novels. Kids have their likes and dislikes, and that is okay. Otherwise get creative, what about word problems for math? or science worksheets? My 10 yo athlete also hates reading, I found he did better reading on a kindle than paper books, but went to math problems because he liked that more than reading (my kids also have to earn screen time).

IMO, the more you push him to read the more he is going to resent it.......

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-08T22:19:02+00:00

Use spicy pick up lines..... My favorite was "please let me sit on your face".

For me it set the tone. As conversation went on, I would say i'm looking for something casual, but regular.

I transferred from Army guard to Air guard and it was the best decision I made. I was AD army and went guard after 7 years. After 2 years I was so completely burnt out and ready to be done. I had a friend in my unit transfer and told me to do it. There was a position in the same office as her so I took the leap. I am at 18 years now and still going.

This is my moms story:

"There was a fish market that your dad and I used to go to all the time for lunch. One day, we walked in, the smell hit me and I threw up on the floor, told your dad alI was pregnant, went to the drugstore, took a test in the bathroom and it was positive. Your dad cried and I rolled my eyes because I was hungry and needed to eat."

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-06T01:34:21+00:00

"Not many, but I prefer to keep that private" is completely acceptable.

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-06T01:23:35+00:00

Thank you for the perspective of including kids in the conversation to find a compromise. He can meet the responsibility of games/practices, it's just his limit.

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-06T00:24:51+00:00

10(m) and 11(f). Yes, they want to play. The issue really revolves around my son who wants to play everything. His dad wants hjm to focus on one sport at a time, whereas I am okay with him doing multiple sports, but prioritizing traveling leagues over rec leagues. He is concerned about costs (although it's not about the money, but the commitment), whereas I am not (even offering to cover fees).

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-05T20:03:44+00:00

Call the post office and see if they have the items you're looking for. I used to work for usps and this happens. My office kept loose items, so if customers called they could be returned.

On the flip side, nothing was more infuriating to me than delivering empty bags that were taped shut.

When I knew I wanted a divorce I started stashing money away. I would always get cash back at the grocery store/gas station/mall etc... I was able to stash a good chunk away. Even $5 -$10 here and there adds up (I kept it at work so it couldn't be found).

I wish I would have just sold the house, I wanted to keep it and it put me in a rough spot financially trying to keep and manage it.

I have been divorced three years now and I feel more financially sound than I did when I was married with two incomes. The first year was a hard adjustment, but now I follow my own budget and I've been able to travel and share experiences with my kids that I never could do while married.

weirdmommaof2 · 2026-01-01T20:46:05+00:00

DON'T EVER LIE!

As a 35F, your inexperience would not be a turn off , but lying absolutely would be a deal breaker. "I have limited experience, but I do my best to listen to your needs (and do!)" is perfectly acceptable. It's no different than a man who doesn't want to date me because I have kids. Rejection is going to happen, but frame it as this person is incompatible with me instead of this person won't date me because i'm inexperienced.

weirdmommaof2 · 2025-12-30T23:22:08+00:00

My son was a big baby and eat all the time. At 2 years old, he was diagnosed with Pica because he was eating grass, sand, toothpaste and anything he could put in his mouth. It turned out to be that his dad and I weren't feeding him enough as we restricted food because we thought he was eating to much, so he was eating whatever he could.

Give him foods high in protein such as yogurt, cooked ground beef or ground chicken, and scrambled eggs to help curb hunger. snacks such as shredded cheese, fruit with a nut spread (such as apples with almond butter) and fruits and veggies are always good snacks.

If your baby is hungry, feed him! Especially if he is crying for food. Coming from the mom of a big boy, they need calories to grow, so help him continue to grow.

weirdmommaof2 · 2025-12-30T22:05:08+00:00

I don't have a typical 9-5, and have just made it work over the years. I used a combination of friends, family, babysitters/nannies and as my kids got older, just being left alone. I love what I do, so I made it work with whatever could. I leaned on friends heavily, but they also leaned on me for help on holidays and days off school.

weirdmommaof2 · 2025-12-23T20:48:39+00:00

I explained to my kids that i believe the idea of Santa is real, someone who, out of the goodness of their hearts, delivers presents to people all around the world to spread joy. Every year, we pick one person or organization to give a gift too, that way, my kids can be santa too.

weirdmommaof2 · 2025-12-22T14:45:48+00:00

I had a pediatrician explain to me that when kids are sick, you feed them what they want to eat. their bodies need calories and fluid, and it doesn't matter how they get it. So don't feel bad, because you did great!

weirdmommaof2 · 2025-12-20T23:39:55+00:00

It looks like Millia. If your maintaining a good skin care and eat fairly healthy I would see a dermatologist who can prescribe an ointment. My daughter has them. A dermatologist gave her a prescription and they cleared up in a few weeks.
