My lunch break is from 8:30-9:30 in the morning when I drop the girls off.
Darn, I don't get a lunch break either. Can you run out there tonight? I live really close to a mall so I do that sometimes, I get one kid to bed, then leave. The mall is always really empty on a random weekday evening, so you can be quick .
My mom is at my house today watching both kids, she could have sent one to daycare but chose not to. I thought of your mom, well if Tamb's mom can handle two all day everyday, my mom can do it this one time!
It's 7 and A is still asleep!! She has been stuck on CO time but hopefully she is making the transition to CA time. Maybe she will be in a better mood after a full nights sleep.
Today we drive to Monterey. I'm pretty excited to see the coast!
I took C to a professional live removal person yesterday. It was worth it but still doesn't guarantee it is all removed because she is so small they can't do the vacuum and heat treatment. My poor baby. She did so well with all the combing. I got my hair checked as well.
This would never have been a problem when L was two because she was still bald.
I just want this all to go away.

DH has to work overnights next week Sun - Tues. This is going to be so stressful for me because I will have 100% of the kid responsibilities on me while he sleeps all day.
Was up until midnight having a disagreement with DH We made up now. It was about a future possibility of moving and me basically saying I don't want to move at all. I finally agreed to at least consider the possibility on the remote chance that moving ends up being an actual option. Anyway, the thing that really sucks is we were supposed to TTC last night and then didn't because we were arguing. I'm really sad about that. I haven't ovulated yet, it should be in the next couple days so it's not that big of a deal, but I'm just feeling kind of bummed out about it.

Almost two years ago, I sat on a jury for a murder case. We ended up being a hung jury. It sucked, I pretty much thought the guy did it, but the case against him had so many holes in it, we couldn't convict. He was charged with shooting a girl in a crowded parking lot, during a drug deal.
I google his name from time to time, to see if he is still in jail awaiting a new trial. I googled him today and he is out, well and back in now. He was arrested for beating up a 16 year old over a cell phone. I feel sick to my stomach. He is Tre Barber in the news story.
Two of my good friends had their sons early this morning they also both have two yr old daughters- so random that girls I've known for 15/12 years ended up having kids of the same sex, at the same time as me.

I'm still sick. Now the coughing comes. Which means peeing my pants and my ute very low-hanging. At least it'll be at its most extreme when the urogynecologist looks at it on 10/2!
The cleaning person is dusting today. Terrible timing.

We made an offer on a house. It's perfect. Someone else thought so too, and made an offer the same day. The sellers accepted the other offer and asked that we be a back-up offer. I am crossing everything that I can cross and hoping the first offer falls through due to the home inspection or financing. I want that house, dammit!

That's so fun! What are the names?
E.zra R.afael joins big sister E.llie A.enae (mn are family names, Ellie isn't short for anything, double E's weren't planned)
C.arter Z.achary (actually I think he's officially Z.achary C.arter but dad's name is Zac) joins C.harlotte (C.harlie) D.ee. steph196 is also friends with this family

They can string you along like a back up "girlfriend". I didn't know there could be back up offers. I don't think I would like that. It doesn't make sense.
What is an appropriate window to send out birth announcements? We have a lot of cute snapshots of Henry, but I didn't schedule pro newborn shots and now his baby acne has come in, which will probably hang around from 10 days to 2 weeks. So, the earliest I'll be able to get new shots of him on the good camera sans acne will be around a month old, then I'll need to get the cards made and sent (which the way things are going now will probably take me another 2-4 weeks *-)). I could always take photos now and photoshop out the acne, but I feel weird PS-ing pictures of my newborn.
And yes, I'm totally overthinking this. Without things to obsess over, my life would have no meaning...

I think you have 3 months. You should be fine!
I also wouldn't side eye photo shopping out the acne.

We were offered a backup position on the first house we put in an offer on. We declined because we didn't have time to wait around (and we were pretty miffed at the way the whole deal was handled), and later found out that both the original deal and the back up deal had both fallen through, so they were opening up for offers again. We were already under offer on our new place, but we had a good chuckle about it. As we were closing on our new place, our realtor told us the second round of offers had fallen through as well, and the house was still on the market. I have no idea if that house ever sold.
It does happen, so if you have the time to wait, it might not hurt to take a back-up position, especially if there is nothing else on the current market that will suit your needs.

I think most nb photographers photoshop newborns, their skin isnt always nice right away. Rhys is having some major acne right now and I would PS it for pro pics.

(heart) I knew I could count on you for sensible advice on all things announcement related!
I have a hard time reading birth stories now. I don't typically have sad feelings about my labor or Csection except when I read birth stories that went "right"... Both of my friends had quick labors and delivered vaginally and I'm so happy for them but it reminds me that Rhys' birth (and delaney's to an extent) weren't as I imagined and I feel a little sad...
But I know I have two healthy children and easy recoveries despite the bad labors so I try to focus on that

I do too about fast births. I'm hoping I get some TeamHayes/Musiclover speedy action this time. Sidewalk baby 2015!

All it means in our case is that if the primary offer falls through, our offer is next. The sellers can't take any other offers on the house and have to accept our offer as is with no counters or negotiations. The house is the only one in almost 2 years that is everything we are looking for - perfect location, land, school district we want, and easy commutes for both of us.
We can get out of the deal at any time prior to hearing from the sellers that the primary offer fell through. It's really a good deal for us right now since we aren't in a hurry to move.

This is my life. It blows.
I'm currently using my nursing cover as a bib while I eat pizza in my car. Nothing but class over here.
It is my day off, but I have to go to a 3 hour meeting this afternoon. I am a support provider for 2 new teachers, which involves a monthly 3 hour meeting, plus working with each of them throughout the month. At least I get a $3,000 stipend for doing this, but it still sucks to leave Sydney on my day off.
