I went to ikea today after work and bought a few chairs and a big cabinet. I put them all together when I got home and am feeling pretty badass. I did get some strange "what the hell is that pregnant lady doing?" looks while loading my car.
DH is finally back from his trip but is on-call and working late. I gave in and took the kids out to a restaurant. Now DD is sleeping and I'm waiting for DS to wind down so I can go starfish in my bed
I REALLY want to send a Christmas card this year. I'm always gung-ho about it in October, and then I just never do. I prefer to send a family pic but we are not getting family pics and there is really no one around who can take a decent pic of us. Womp womp.
Do it now, while you can get a groupon! I am trying to work on mine now.
One of my friends took really good family pics herself with a tripod. Could you try something like that? (Or even a friend who can hit the shutter button on your camera when you get it all set up, LOL.)

You can get cheap tripods and remote shutter releases on Amazon. Just sayin.
The 15mo well check is by far the worst one yet. C freaked when they tried to take his head measurement and then kept frantically signing for milk and waving "bye bye" because he wanted to leave. When it came time for shots, he lost his mind before we even had his legs exposed, tears streaming down his bright red face. Poor baby.
We were looking through old pictures tonight and H just told me I should go blond again. But highlights are so much damn work, so his dreams will likely be crushed by my laziness.

The hospital where I work sent an email to my group asking us to volunteer to join an "Ebola Intensive Care team" to be available in case an infected patient (confirmed or suspected) arrives here.

I am not looking forward to the 15 month appt. because of this exact reason. Which is why I told DH he has to be there. Poor baby, hope he is doing better now.
DH is at a work thing, my house is super clean thanks to the deep clean I had done today, and I put DD to bed early because it's MDO day so she had a short nap. YES. I just wish I didn't feel like crap
I had made plans with DS's favorite playmate to go to a bouncy house place tomorrow. But they canceled, boo I've texted every other mom I know, they're all busy. I guess DS and I will go alone, but damn I wanted some company.

Witching hour hit DS2 hard tonight. Right after he spit up a giant river of half-digested milk all down the front of my tank top. We never managed to eat dinner because we were too busy wrangling cranky evening kids. I finally got him to fall asleep on me after jiggling him and patting his butt for half an hour, but now I'm afraid to move. Babies, man.
I'm so mad. I was in a car accident in March 2012 when I was pregnant with C. They took me in an ambulance to the hospital to check everything out and I was fine. We paid our $100 ambulance copay to the city shortly thereafter.
Well, apparently the bill was sent to our auto insurance bc we have some medical coverage. They sat on it for OVER TWO YEARS before denying it, unbeknownst to me. By that point I assumed everything was settled. But no! So then I had to get the city to send it to my health insurance, who immediately denied because the statute of limitations of one year had passed. I appealed a few weeks ago and it's in progress and we have notified the city of that. We just got a note that they're sending the bill to fucking collections. We have the cancelled check they cashed for our copay and have sent that to them multiple times. I have ambulance coverage through my health insurance.
It's now been 2 years, 7 months since this accident. I'm so over it.

My random is that I am so impressed with my six year DS' talent for music. He takes a weekly music class which requires daily practice (which he usually does). I bought him some other music books and he has taught himself how to play them on his own. I love having music in the house.
Fingers crossed for a good night! We drove 8 hours today and now we're in a hotel. So far, so good. DS did so well in the car (a rental mini van- I'm in love!) and now he's asleep in the pack & play. Time for bed!

DH and I had a fight tonight and are going to bed mad. It was a stupid fight over nothing. Mainly me, wallowing in pity and him lacking sensitivity. We never go up bed upset with each other. This sucks. My life really sucks right now.
Tomorrow is the 5 year anniversary of one of my moms death and it's really hitting me hard tonight. She never saw me get married and she will never see my children. It makes me so sad that L will never get to meet her.
Mine is on the 27th and it will be 8 years. It sucks. I am so sorry for your loss. I am in the same boat...missed the wedding and the baby/babies. I miss her everyday. The part I find the hardest is that her being gone actually makes it harder to talk to my dad.

My H *loves* my hair highlighted. Meanwhile, I was tired of it and dyed hair dark brown. Sorry, H.
My H worked late tonight and just got to bed. I tried to snuggle with him, but apparently I had gotten really hot under the down comforter. He said "it's like you have Ebola or something!"
The good sleeping lasted all of 45 minutes. He's been up more times than I can count. Now he's in bed between us, snuggling up with my pajama shirt. He usually snuggles with a cloth diaper, but this was the only thing I could think of right now. Seems to be working, maybe? I'm just so concerned about someone complaining to the front desk about a baby crying. Thankfully, we know the people on one side of our room and I'm sure there will be even more wedding guests staying here tonight, too. Hopefully we'll get to stay!
Why are you crying at Berenstein Bears? I'm late to this thread, but I was looking for Grey's talk and now I'm curious!
Oh they are just so long and...not very good. I used to read them when I was little and I do not remember them being so horrible, lol. Also, the newer ones are very Jesusy. We have one that has a Bible quote on the wall and one of the pages says something like, "The Good Book says..."
We read the older ones to DD, and yeah, they don't really hold up. Does your kid have them memorized yet? Because if you can get away with it, they make a surprising amount of sense if you only read the first line on each page. I think my days of skipping over stuff are numbered though...

I also had no clue they were getting religious!!
Worse - he reads along in his head. lol. Sometimes I will make a mistake and he will correct me. No skipping pages here, unfortunately!
