Monday evening randoms

[creamsiclechica]

Can I start an evening one? Because this:

[Deleted]

That is hilarious! Now I wish I had a dog!

[muppetinma]

You started and finished it. I'm pretty sure we're all dead now.

[imimahoney]

My school day blew.

1st- my dress ripped in 2 freaking places during the day. I have no idea how this happened. It was super awkward all day long.

2nd- a student broke my new and awesome Teddy Roosevelt bobble head that was sitting on my desk. It's in a million places right now

3rd - Dh was too busy to make a preschool tour this afternoon and won't be able to make anymore in the next 2 weeks. That's fine except I specifically asked him if this time was ok and he said yes. And places want answers soon because of wait lists. I really don't want to make this decision by myself.

4th - Dh missed dinner and was supposed to be home 20 minutes ago. I requested Reese's pieces and I want them now. Wtf dude!

[creamsiclechica]

imimahoney, that sounds like a terrible day indeed! I'm so sorry. I hope your Reese's pieces arrive immediately!

Do it without him.  It sucks, but that's what you have to do sometimes.  I toured a crap-ton of preschools.  DH made it to one.

Calvin is getting way too good with the walker. It's going to be stressful to have another early walker.

I'll be in Denver in one week! So excited!

I fear for our food bill during the teenage years. B ate three helpings of mac and cheese, two helpings of salad and a banana pop for dinner. He's regularly been eating 2 bowls of cereal before daycare everyday, and his teacher told me he's been eating 3rds at every snack/meal the past week.

[muppetinma]

Shit. I forgot that today was Monday. Andrew doesn't get a bath every night, but I always give him one the night before school. I forgot. No big deal, right? Well, tomorrow is picture day. Shit shit shit. My options are to try to give him one in the already busy morning or to send my dirty kid in to be immortalized.

Agreed.  H didn't look at a single daycare or preschool.  I did all of the legwork.  It doesn't necessarily suck--no debates.  My opinion is the only one that mattered

[browndog]

J has a rat tail.

[teamhayes]

Mh just brought k to the after hours doctor temperature is 103-104 ( it varied)

First puke today

Missed picture day - so sad

And I also fear our food bill in the teenage years

[lolaburns]

@creamsciclechica OMG that is adorable!!!


I might go insane. H has been at work for 27 hours. I've had to pack for this trip by myself with two kids. I have to leave for the airport at 3am.

My husband keeps calling the stroller a carriage and he keeps telling me how to pack and what I need to carry on board and how to do it. I literally want to scream. I have to have a rolling suitcase in the overhead bin because the boppy and my big carry on bag with all their crap in it attaches to it and rolling it makes my life so much easier why can't he comprehend this.

He wants me to check the suitcase. I want to scream.

He's home with an extra large bag. Woohoo!

[jfh]

DH is out for the evening, so we ordered pizza and we're watching monster truck videos. Hell yeah!! Lol. I'd like to use this time to do some things around the house, but my back hurts so I'm sitting on a heating pad. So...many....monster....trucks..........

[raynes]

Ufgghhh. Owen and I just walked to Walmart (all of a quarter mile) to return a movie to the red box thingy and omg it was so hard. I'm so so out of shape.

I bought Owen Toms today and they're too big. I don't really get how because every time I've measured his foot it comes up size 7. So I bought that. They keep falling off. Maybe just extra thick socks? I wonder if I can still exchange them after he's worn them. He wasn't walking much...

Oh I know. I just like to talk things through with him. I doubt my decisions a lot and like to bounce things off of him, which I can still do. Just hard when he didn't see the place. He did say he might just go by himself when things settle down at work but I'm not sure if he will have time.

Is he going? No. Then he gets no say in packing!! Especially if he's not home helping to do it.

Can you get on the waiting list and have him look later?  That way, you can get his input when you have to make the big decision, but you don't have to risk a spot on the list waiting for him.

Maybe. Might be a good idea. I'm seeing 4 more places so I guess ill think about it more after I see those properties. It's like the dreaded daycare hunt all over again. Blarg.

I bought this book for A today, change the name to Sherry and it perfectly describes my day
I always swore I'd never buy those blow up monstrosities for my lawn for Christmas (or Halloween) but we were at walmart yesterday and we walked past a Mickey one, Daniel just walked up to it, put it in the stroller and kept walking. It was so matter of fact we just laughed and bought it. He spent a good hour tonight giving Mickey high fives and hugs, it was the cutest thing ever.

[melmon0417]

Living in the same house as my Mom has its perks. Tonight DH hung out with A so I could lay in bed. He had to go run a few errands.. so when he left, my Mom took A duty so I didn't have to get out of bed.

I am attempting to eat some saltines. I can feel that my stomach is going to revolt on me again, but I am so hungry.

[betsyray]

I am watching Buffy in bed while on my laptop. It's a good evening, which I really needed. Theo keeps falling asleep for ten minutes in the car on the way home from the gym and then not napping until 3pm. No dual nap. Agh!

DesertMoon how are you feeling?? Any more signs of baby?

Aside from A LOT of pressure and some mild spotting and a contraction here and there...nothing really. I'm getting impatient!

Spotting is good!

I'm sorry your day sucked imimahoney.

We are watching the new baby episode of Daniel Tiger and I'm feeling all of the feels.
