I'm going OOT for work overnight tomorrow and I'm tempted to leave all the assorted sippy cups disassembled on the drying rack just to make H's head explode.
I am suddenly really excited to have another baby.
I can't wait for Criminal Minds tonight.
Tonight was Open House at our school and one of my teachers just straight up didn't show. She doesn't teach a home room, she teaching phys ed, but still…ridiculous. My principal is going to deal with it, which is good because I would probably mess it up.
AJ learned the hard way tonight why I've been trying to him away from the plug in carbon monoxide detector. Then the dogs playing biteyface scared him (because they wrestle and they're loud and sound like they're fighting). So of course, the sound of me closing the door of the bedroom directly across from his own sent him into hysterics not 60 seconds after I had put him in his crib happy as can be. The poor guy's on edge, I guess I think he's settled down.
It's the semi-monthly clean the mess I made while DH was away" night. I didn't do so bad this week. Just need to do the laundry and take out the garbage I think.
I'm watching Under the Tuscan Sun for the first time too.
About a month and a half ago we signed up for a home phone (landline), mostly because it was an ok deal for a year and it reduced our install price on a new cable system.
We haven't given anyone our number. We have received at least 5 calls a week from telemarketers since we got the number/phone. It is pissing me off. I know it is just because telemarketers use the phonebook and now we are in it, but if we want an unlisted number we need to pay for it (I don't know if it is a one time cost or ongoing).

So, does anyone know what the "goodnight nobody" in Goodnight Moon is referencing? I was reading it tonight, and was trying to figure out what they were trying to get at with it...

possibly flammable…I have no idea why people like this book. I read it to her and it doesn't do anything for me. But it isn't about me, is it?

I don't mind it, but it's not my favorite. It's just in our normal "bedtime" rotation.

Dd and I are flying to STL tomorrow with my mom. I'm worried about the flight. It's 8 pm, and we land 10 pm our time. I'm praying she falls asleep on flight.
It's 8:30 pm I haven't packed, the house is a mess, DH is in Dallas for work and I'm on gbcn!

Gah.
/endrant. I know this is a FWP.
We have the same problem. Could they be trying to reach the person who had the number prior to you?
Only one call implied they were trying to read another homeowner. We are convinced it was just a tactic.
DH has been OOT all week and I'm officially at my all alone parenting limit. The kids didn't nap for shit so they all went to bed at 7. Tomorrow will be a fun day and my dad and brother are coming over for dinner so I will have help. Then DH lands at like 2 pm on Friday. I can do this lol.
I keep writing and deleting a response to our friends that lost their preemie DD last week and I just, what do you say? They've said they are overwhelmed with support and to just pray for their other baby that's still critical but I feel like I should say/do something. They are so private. All of this was happening last week, DH talked to his friend literally the night before the babies were born eight days ago, and today is the first anyone is hearing anything. What would you guys do?
As reported in my "buy a backup lovey!" thread, we swapped DS's worn lovey with a backup. I am incredibly relieved it went so well. DS has been carrying Cat lovey all night saying "love him", which is the first time he's ever said "love" clearly. Before it was "uvv" or "pove". I am so glad I thought ahead to buy a backup and that DH was home to execute the switcheroo.

DS has instituted a strict 6:30 bedtime. I hate that after work now feels so rushed and I only have an hour with him at night. And yes, this is a total bragplaint.
Also, every night I "read" the napping house to DS as I'm putting him to bed. And by "read" I mean that I recite it from memory.
holly116, I would tell them you are thinking (or praying, whatever fits) for them and maybe offer to take them dinner. It doesn't seem like much, but I'm sure they'll be happy to hear from friends. I think I read here it's best to address the baby by name?
Ever since swizz posted about her breast milk jewelry, I've been obsessively looking for what I want. Why is the best (pretty much only, I forgot the name) website out of stock and temporarily closed for everything. She needs to go on shark tank for more help. I figure if I order now it might make it in time for DS's first birthday.
I grabbed a handful of cereal tonight to snack on and while chewing I felt something not like cereal. It was either a piece of carpet that I somehow had in my hand or it came in the box of cereal. Completely grossed out and don't think I will be eating any more of that cereal. Trying to get that "feel" out of my mouth by eating bacon Ritz crackers.

I agree that the cadence is soothing and I think that article explains the beauty of it well. You are almost forced to read it in a certain, very specific way.
And the fact that DD1 can identify everything on every page and wants to play a Goodnight Moon matching game almost every day doesn't hurt either.
holly116 that's awful A coworker lost one of her twins last year when she delivered at 28 weeks and I asked my NICU nurse cousin for advice. She recommended letting her know that I was thinking of them and their daughter but to also mention their son who had passed and to use his name, assuming it had been shared. I think there's no perfect response and the most important thing is just to offer your support however you can (prayers, thoughts, meals, etc.)
An acquaintance just posted a FB status about how her kid has so much homework…anyways…comments ensure, no big deal, some guy just posted this:
Im a very firm bel.iever that there should not be ho.mework. You should spend your day at school learning and when you get home it's family time and time for childhood memories. I all ready had a talk with my sons teacher about my feelings. You said her self esteem is affected. Let me tell you what i do with my kids. My son is in grade 1 and sometimes he doesn't do as good as the other kids. I always tell him that his teacher called me at lunch and told me that he is the sm.artest kid she knows and that he is doing amazing in school (even though he really isn't and she didn't call) He's having a hard time learning to read and i always tell him he is the best reader in the class. His report card last year wasn't that gre.at and when i looked at it i told him he is a straight 'A' student. YOU BE.COME WHAT YOUR TOLD YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU GROW TO BELIEVE YOU ARE.
I inserted a bunch of periods because you all have me freaked about google searches…this comment PISSES me off…this person is not doing their kid any good with this kind of shit…I am all for supporting your kid but really??? The teacher called at lunch to say he is the smartest? Teaching acid he is doing amazing when he isn't? Telling him he is getting As when he isn't? Also, the grammatical error isn't lost on me.
holly116 that's a tough situation. I would probably do as others mentioned and let them know that you are thinking/praying etc. If they live close by, perhaps you can offer to take care of things around the house. Offer to bring the mail in, or water the plants etc.
I'm so sorry, holly116. Those situations are heartbreaking.
rugbywife, I never answer our home phone. I think both handsets are dead. Our caller ID flashes on the TV and 95% of the time, it's no one I need to talk to.

DS loves pointing out the fireplace. Lol.
It took us months to figure out how she knew fireplace and then we realized Goodnight Moon
I am so tired from DH being gone since this weekend and doing everything on my own. I'm up early, to bed late and have worked out everyday. Tonight I didn't work out and instead ate a piece of DQ cake. Tomorrow morning is my weigh in for a weight loss challenge I'm in. I hope that piece of cake didn't do me in!
I'm probably crazy, but I swear C's hair looks more red with the backdrop of fall colored leaves. I told H this and he looked at me like I had three heads. Ha.
