life is toooo short to type out whole words, clearly!!

hehehe the world of abbreviations on parenting boards had my mind boggled when I first joined!

and can you put... IHTMS which is i hope that makes sense because how often do we have to write that! i made that up but cant really use it because no one knows it, well maybe they do, i just never seen it

Ahaha- it's amazing how long i've gone without knowing what a bunch of these mean

Oh dear god, I knew every single one of those - that's not good!
