Why do I think I'm going to work through my baby yarn stash (likely 10+skeins) making booties?

Does anybody's baby actually wear booties without a constant struggle?
Neither of my kids would keep socks or shoes on without wriggling out of them. Super happy we lived in hot places so this wasn't a battle I had to fight.

I'm sending them off to charities that are requesting them. So, I'm assuming they are going to get used.
Our kids wore socks and those Robeez shoes. We didn't bother with real shoes until they were walking, or in the case of the peanut, until her feet got big enough that she could actually wear regular shoes.
ETA: I'm not patient enough yet, to work on a blanket...But, I may have to do that.

Buy the printer and then spend more on ink than the printer cost - making it up on battery volume ? Should say I am not familiar with Fitbit price and/or price of batteries but this was first thing that came to mind!!

Why isn't it legal to use a rocket launcher on idiot drivers who cut you off?

It was tank sized and traffic just parted for it. If you can deal with the incredibly crappy build quality and the hassles with maneuvering it, you might try one.

Why isn't it legal to use a rocket launcher on idiot drivers who cut you off? Or rear rocket launchers to blast people who tailgate.

Why the hell were hoop skirts ever invented and why the hell did women ever agree to wear them (I just started watching Mercy Street which is what brought this question up).

Why has hotel housekeeping stopped by to bother me twice since they cleaned my room at lunch? Are they trying to rob me? I'm not that messy.

I know, I know < NastyWoman> waves frantically. Hoop skirts provide a perfect place to hide your booze. Why did we ever get rid of them? An adult sippy cup doesn't really cut it and it stands out so glaringly when you bring it in to work...

Sausage Party movie has personalized/humanized all the food we eat. I see trauma for a lot of viewers of the trailer on TV much less the movie. It's disgusting.

Neither does the latest stainless steel water bottle craze with the colorful wrap things that keep stuff cold. Sometimes I wonder what people are drinking from their water bottles when they start spouting stupid stuff at meetings.

But, but, but, I saw that one movie (ages ago) where the woman had hooked all kinds of stuff to those hoops. Just imagine: mixed drinks, snacks, your favorite book... anything is possible. And the Gatorade falls short as well. Not to forget that the office I am in now has not reached 68 degrees yet this year. I could even put a little heater under there --- not at the same time as the liquor though since that may get a little too hot)

Just pulled up to the spray park and DS is sound asleep in his car seat. Do I drive around aimlessly and allow him to get the rest he sorely needs while risking him being mad about not going to the park, or do I wake him for the park and have a happy kid now and holy terror later?

Can you split the difference and drive a bit but get him out in time to play?

That's a tough one. Here's hoping your DS is (somewhat) pleasant when he wakes up.

Did I somehow cause our hot water heater to break by my thinking about canceling our gym membership, as it's too far away, and it only really came in handy when we weren't able to take a shower at home during our bathroom remodel?

Why can't moms be nice?
Why do we spend all this energy teaching girls to be nice, so they can grow up and be mean, clique-ish women?
Here's the thing that kills me..they push away other moms, and then get upset when other moms don't respond when called upon.
