My dog ate a toddler size box of raisins on Sunday (he found some in the diaper bag). I didn't think anything of it at the time. Then a few hours later, I was like, Oh crap. Dogs can't have raisins! Now my H is freaking out, and I kind of am too.
How big is your dog?
FWIW, we fed our dogs (boxer and American Bulldog) grapes before we knew they were bad. They easily had 3-4 handfuls over a week. Nothing ever happened.
We have a boxer as well, he is 70lbs. We called the vet who said just to watch for vomiting and lethargy, and that with his size, that many raisins should pass ok. I'm going home at lunch to check on him. He has eaten dumb things before and always ends up puking them up so I guess I'll just wait.

I know it's hard not to worry, but I am sure he'll be ok. We did the grape thing years ago (5-6!) and they are still healthy and no kidney failure. Our vet said the same thing re: vomiting and lethargy.
DS was baptized yesterday. His paci fell out on the altar and hit the floor. I picked it up and put it back in his mouth in front of the entire congregation. I was doing everything in my power to avoid a meltdown so oh well. My MIL was kind of horrified. His godmother thought it was hilarious.

I am so annoyed. I went to the doctor two weeks ago for the sole purpose of them renewing my prescription. They never called it in. Now I am trying to get in touch with them which is like trying to reach Serbia so that they can call it in to the pharmacy.
Also, I just went back and forth with the Dean at the school I teach PT at about a student who just last week asked if she can turn in all her assignments for the term- first time she contacted me all semester. She has turned in NONE and there is 2 weeks left. I said no so she went Dean who in turn asked if I could be lenient and let her turn them. HELL NO. She is an adult, she knew when the assignments were due. Take some freaking responsibility. Plus this is PT job I am not going to scramble to grade all her assignments plus everyone else's final paper to get grades in on time.
What does it say about me that I have trouble spending $40 on myself (I have a Visa gift card) but I can drop $90 on clothes for DD on the next size up? I need to work on that.
I fully intend on keeping DD outside for as much time today as possible. I did that yesterday and she napped. Hoping to replicate that.
I used to have no trouble buying myself stuff. Now I only focus on buying for DS. It's weird. Like this weekend my MIL was in town and I usually take full advantage of her generosity to score some new clothes for myself. Instead, we bought $100 of Carters for DS's summer wardrobe. I think part of it is it's so easy to buy for kids, just pick their current or next size. Buying for myself involves trying stuff on and ain't nobody got time for that, lol.
Back to your $40...maybe new makeup? That's on my to-buy list along with a new flat iron.
DS is so loud! He's driving me and DD crazy. He screams, yells, jumps, throws toys, and is just generally so unbelievable loud. He's woken poor DD twice already.

There is a serum I want to try at Sephora. Maybe I'll go that route!

I'm sure the floor of a church is cleaner than my floors at home. DS crawls all over and sticks his hands in his mouth.

Should have just dipped it in the holy water to give a it quick rinse! Then your MIL would have REALLY been horrified.

I went to drop off my daughter at DC today and our DCP is Nepalese.
Her 12-year-old niece was killed in the earthquake. She was a wreck and I think her husband was staying home today because she needed the moral support. I felt horrible about the whole thing, and I hope that she thinks about taking a day or a few days to deal with her grief.
I told A to give her a few extra hugs today. Of course, she didn't understand, but she seemed to understand that there was something up because she sat very nicely in our DCP's lap and she's usually all over the place.
Follow up...when I come here complaining I can't lose weight postpartum, you are all welcome to remind me about the fudge.
I won't. I gained no weight from weeks 33 - 41 and predicted that it would come back to bite me in the ass. It has.
OMG! I am so screwed, lol. I essentially haven't gained anything from 34 weeks onward, but I think a lot of that has to do with me stopping working and staying at home...my only hope is that taking care of two kids 13 months apart is going to be so much work the weight is just going to slide off, lol. I have never had to lose 70lbs+ before...the most I have done is 50lbs and it took SO much work (SO MUCH) - and I wasn't yet 30 and had no kids and lots of time to exercise. Lol!
We closed this morning and are homeowners again! We've been renting for a couple of years and decided ultimately to just buy what we're in. It's a townhouse instead of a SFH like we had considered, but much cheaper, the space works really well for us right now, and we love the neighborhood. A big yay for not having to move.

Juice is baby crack. Ds2 can literally not be allowed to see a bottle or he flips his lid that he's not getting a bottle of juice. This is both a constipation fail and win...

DS2 is this way with my diet coke cans. He's never tasted it but flips shit if I have it around in front of him.

My nephews were like this. It is partially why DD has never had juice.
Separation anxiety is the pits. B literally cried "Daddy" during our entire walk to daycare. Then I didn't want to leave him melting down in the classroom so I sat with him on the floor and showed him pictures of Daddy on my phone and all the other kids crowded around me to see. He got so happy, I think because he thought I was going to stay and hang out all day. Cue second meltdown when I had to leave. I stayed and spied a little but he was still crying "Mommy" when I left. (wilted)
Has anyone seen the new Disney Nature film "Monkey Kingdom?" How light/friendly is the content?
My mom is coming up to spend the day with DS on Friday and asked about taking him. I made all the points that: DS is 2, was she prepared to just light money on fire and leave before the movie even started if he wasn't into it, etc etc etc. She's level-headed and reasonable when watching him, so she already accepted all the ways it could go.
I just want to make sure that the film itself isn't scary. I know it's rated G and DS MIGHT be interested in watching monkeys for a bit (he loves monkeys jumping), but I saw that Chimp movie from 2 or 3 years ago and it was a bit dark - don't want any Tiger attacks or something.
My toddler figured out how to open the door to our deck. I'm considering spraying her with water every time she opens the door. Holy shit, I don't have the patience for this. She is going all honey badger on me with her "I don't give a shit what you say!" attitude.

Hanging with my ILs all day while DH is at work. It's not been as bad as I feared. We all went to the park together, then I sent them home and dropped by the store "really quick" = stalled in the Target snack bar as long as possible and came home just before naptime. I came to put DS2 down for nap 30min early and have been playing on my phone while he rolls around the floor. Three hours until DH gets home, then he's off for the rest of their visit thank goodness.

We are currently debating some summer vacation plans. Part of them involves DH taking the kids on a weekend beach trip to see his family when I'm 37w2d-37w5d and me staying home. Probably crazy and has the potential to have them miss DD's birth since I had DS1 as 37w and DS2 at 37w4d, but on other hand having a few days of alone time in the potentially last few days of my pregnancy sounds like heaven and I'm willing to risk DH not actually being there for the birth (my mom is local and would totally take me to the hospital/be in the room with me in DH's absence).
