One of MH's fish died this evening...it was a large silver dollar. It was big enough to clog the toilet when he flushed it. The plunger wasn't enough to unclog it and MH had to use the snake. Unfortunately it broke the fish into a few pieces and made for the grossest "burial at sea" that MH has ever experienced. Poor H!!!
DS's teacher (with a degree in early childhood education in case you a so dering) told me that he is growling and it is scaring some of the other kids. We talked about it on the way home but I have no idea how anyone could stop a 2 year old from growling / roaring. He makes the same noise for dinosaurs, lions, monsters, tigers, etc.
6fsn - the bars are delicious - MH & I both enjoyed them!
I'm LOLing so hard here. DS does this too! Â He started a couple (?) months ago after DH taught him to roar like a lion. (Thanks, DH!). He is now 17 mos and his room is 12-18. A little 12 month old girl started a few weeks ago and he kept roaring at her. what to do? Â I do admit sometimes I find it really funny, though not with a 12 mo old little girl. Â Oh, DS also has a VERY LOUD quack that sounds ferocious. For some reason, he will not quack quietly, lol.Â

We are going to try to re- sleep train my 22 month old. Send beer. poor buddy has been crying 25 minutes because he just wants "Mama's bed! mama's bed! Pillow! milk! blanket! milk! Mama's bed!"
Got an email from GMIL tonight about a family reunion. This reunion is for her (91 year old) and her siblings and their kids, grand kids and great grand kids. I changed the name and details.
"The food committee would like an approximate count for our picnic. So would you please respond to me if you can make it or not then I will pass it on to the food committee. I hope you all got a notice from [name] a couple months ago. I know your mom will be on a special vacation so will miss it but we would like to see you guys too. Would be so fun to see [DD] in person. There will be several little girls (second cousins) to play with for [DD]. If you don't have the particulars for the day we can get them to you. It is at XYZ park on Saturday the XX of XX. The [Smiths] are my siblings and their offspring. Love from your Grandma, [name]"
So now I have to break her heart and let her know that no, we didn't get any information about this. This is the first I'm hearing of it and we can't attend. Maybe I should just make DH do it since it's his family and all.
Oh, that's sad. Could you make a trip to see her some other time?
we went to two different pools today but I didn't swim either time. Baby pool this morning so she just played with her toys and I sat by the side. Tonight DH went with us so he got in the pool with her. There was a mini wave pool which was really cool and DD loved it.
starting to picture our family more and more as just a family of 3. It was really hard at the pool this morning to see so many moms with a preschooler and a little baby, or a toddler and pregnant. I wanted that to be us this summer.
I think DH has to work tonight so no Veronica Mars, booooooo
I literally made my decision to actually get my butt down to the gym today based on the pure fact I could watch an episode - I feel your pain :-).
H fianally conceded that it may not be a good idea to start potty training on Friday while were at the beach. He couldn't quite answer the question of how the 2 hour car trip home on Sunday would go. Back to my orginal plan.....have our nanny do it. I know how entitled and bratty I sound but I don't care. The thought of being in the house makes me short of breath. It is my form of anxiety. I can't be cooped up inside.

When we got back from Disney we started playing Disney songs on youtube for DD, which morphed into watching the Pixar Parade as it was a huge hit while we were there. Well no we have fallen down the rabbit hole and are suddenly watching a movie of "it's a Small World". Lol. We are so pathetic.
I would put a stop to it if DD wasn't so cute requesting "it's a Fall World"

DH is working late and I'm on the internet and surfing TV. On Me TV, it is Saved By the Bell the College Years, apparently Kelly and Zach are going to get married. I'm only a few minutes in, but it's really bad. LOL
I'm exhausted, from this weekend's company and we have more company later this week.

I laugh about this whole story because I was coming to post something similar.
MIL invited to a family reunion just down the road at Hs aunt's. The sister of my FIL. They told MIL who wrote it out on nice little post cards for us. Date, time, what to bring. Fine.
Today we get UNINVITED. Apparently Siblings of Family X are invited. Their kids are invited with spouses (So that'd be H and I). However, our kids are not invited (so my DD and DS).
Who the hell is going to attend this? Travel for hours for a lot of people, bring a dish but hey, leave your kids at home? No thanks. I'm all about leaving kids at home when I can and live a mile from the party, but this makes 0 sense. Some of Hs sibs and his cousins had plans to come "home" for the weekend, see Grandma, introduce the kids to the family. Who is going to watch them and why are we sucking away family time?
It's so weird. Space isn't even an issue either. It's in a barnyard in a machine shed for God sakes.
We had such a great weekend with DS1. He was sweet and charming for the most part. And then today he ran away from the babysitter (like, sprinted a full block ahead of her) and was generally deliberately obnoxious and rude and disobedient. UGH. Just when I think we're turning a corner.
Hugs pugz i have to put a plug in here for larger spaced sibling. Ours would have originally been 3.5 years apart but they ended up being 4.5 apart and I LOVE it. G is going to be a great big sister one day and is going to be such a help The older she gets and Will be into her own things and your transition will be sweet as pie

DD is up because I don't feel like putting her to bed.
I'm just Catholic enough to get kicked off this board..haha. My FB is driving me insane. Dear fellow Catholics, you are members of one of the most popular churches in the world. You are in a country where you are free to practice and do as you please within your religion. Just because someone does something you deem immoral (read: gay marriage) does not mean you are automatically suffering prejudice. Last time I checked, you were free to get married to whomever you choose and carry out you marriage as you see fit. How two gay people who love each other and want to be married has a detrimental impact on your lifestyle is way the hell beyond me.
Thank you and good night.
I tried to rant to H about this and he was all, "I don't care. I have cows to milk." So you get it tonight MMM.
The liberal peace, love, freedom of choice social studies teacher in me and my religion do not always mix.
My SIL is in early pregnancy limbo. She's had I think four betas drawn and they're nowhere near doubling. Like, they went up 200 points between Thursday and today and it seems like her doctor hasn't been completely honest with what that means at all... My mil is still so optimistic, gah. My heart hurts for the whole situation.

I had 3 library e-books become available today (and I'm only about 20% into my current one). I read pretty fast, but this is going to be a challenge, lol.

I think they do, though.
I find all of this "this isn't what our country was founded on!!! Christian ideals!!!!11!!" crap to be ridiculous. Actually, this IS what our country was founded on at it's core even if it wasn't executed perfectly, the freedom to pursue life, liberty, and happiness and not have your religion, which dictated the majority of the aspects of your life, dictated by your king. Even if one doesn't agree with gay marriage, it still makes sense to support it. By ensuring the rights and freedoms of others, we ensure those same rights and freedoms for ourselves. I really want to tell all these women I see on FB protesting against gay marriage and that this isn't what our country was founded on that they probably shouldn't vote, either, since they are women and all.
But I'm a-ok with gay marriage. You do you and all that

I live in the Bible Belt and I'm actually shocked at how positive and accepting and loving my FB has been. I've only had two people who posted gross and hateful stuff that I had to unfriend. One was an old acquaintance from college (and no surprise), but one was actually a MMMer.
Most of my FB has been surprisingly positive but there are a few vocal ones. I did have to unfriend one particularly vile one who posted a congratulations message to those of us that she didn't delete from her list since she went down and just deleted all the ones she saw with rainbow profile pics. Ew. UNFRIEND.
