DH just got an update from the repair shop on his car. The engine speed sensor needs replaced, $300. At least it wasn't too expensive & he can pick it up today.

When DD was a newborn, I remember someone here posting that they thought newborn snuggles were overrated, and toddler hugs were so much better. At the time, I thought that was ridiculous - I loved the way she just melted into me while she slept on me. How could a toddler hug be any better than that?
OMG, I was so wrong. DD gives me the absolute best hugs ever now. I love it when she's playing with a toy, then all of a sudden stops to run into my arms and bury her head into my shoulder with the biggest hug ever, then runs back to her toys. I could hug her all day!
I swear, every day with a toddler makes me realize more and more that I'm not really a newborn person. Sure, there are times when I want to ship her off to the circus, but she's so much fun now!
I have a weirdo problem. In that I can attract them from miles around.
I went to get a massage yesterday (side note - I need to treat myself to these more than once a year). Two other women, friends I'm assuming, were waiting with me. Their masseuses came to get them and one was having trouble with one of their names. Asked how to pronounce it. The woman said something that sounded like Mmmfhaplay. The poor masseuse attempted again. Again, the woman said it and it sounded like a decidedly French mumble. I'm intrigued at this point. What is the name?!?! Finally the woman decided to enunciate and lose whatever affectation she was trying to use and said her name was Morgan.
My kids came home from church with my parents with baby bottles that they are supposed to fill with loose change and return to support a "crisis pregnancy center." I told my mom that we wouldn't be participating because I don't support anti-choice organizations. She just let loose on me about how all of the issues I'm having in my marriage is because I'm so morally deficient. This hurts
*hugs*
I'm so sorry. I dislike organized religion and part of it is because people so often use it as a good reason to treat other people like shit. You don't deserve that.
I found cranberry cable knit tights for DD!! They're at my local Old Navy and they're holding them for me so I'll pick them up tonight. Now her tights won't be pink while DH and I have maroon on. All I need now is DH's shirt to arrive from Kohl's!

This is a large reason why I've moved away from church and towards doing my own thing.
After being very involved in my church in HS and some really shady shit going down, I spent most of college trying to figure out faith, etc. I now consider myself an atheist, because I just cannot reconcile any of it anymore. I'm not saying you're going down this path, but just sharing my own personal similar journey.

My DS has grown out of his size 2 shoes. Except that the 2.5 stride rite shoes my mom bought him are way too big. I cannot find any 2.5s in the stores in my town that aren't lace up shoes (he can't tie his shoes yet). I bought him a pair in a different brand of 2s and 3s to try at home tonight and hope that one fits him because at the only store that has slip on or Velcro shoes in his size, they don't make half sizes. This is so frustrating.

After a nice day seeing only my dad and not his wife on Saturday, yesterday my MIL calls DH and says that my dad's wife has been texting her with messages for DH and saying crazy things about me. Like that I'm worried that my dad's wife is trying to steal DH away from me, that in think she's a bitch like my mother, etc. Crazy delusional stuff, and the reason we're not seeing her anymore. I hate that DH's family is being bothered by her too. And that I had to spend time on the phone with mil telling her what's been going on. Sigh.
Omg. I am at 90% of my data already and have 8 days left in my billing cycle. This is the 3rd month this has happened. I have to stop using my phone when I am out.
Do you have an iPhone? If so, I read somewhere that after the new update this is happening to people and you should do this: settings>cellular>wi-fi assist> turn to off
DD is napping but we're supposed to be going to a babywearing event in 45 minutes. I'm putting chances of a successful transfer to the carrier pretty low, so I guess we'll just be late.

This is exactly what happened to me!
Tritto, although the shady stuff wasn't too shady, just enough to make me question.
I am far happier and confident in my personal beliefs as an atheist than I ever was as a Christian, even in the days where I was president of my church youth group.
londoncalling I am so sorry about what your mom said. It sucks and it is not true, and even though I am not a Christian, even I know that shaming people to coerce them to do what you want is a very UN Christian thing to do.
I just got a recruiter email from page's H's employer. It'd be amusing, but I'm not going to take a pay cut to work longer hours and move to LA or fly there every few weeks.

I am "working" aka sitting at my computer staring out my window. I am done after today! My boss just put a check in on my calendar for 3pm so I will take that call and then hopefully peace out (I mean, I'm WFH but.... what? no. We've wrapped up. Stop emailing me and setting up meetings with me lol).

Sorry man. When's your next appointment?
So the plan is...
tomorrow: 1:30 BPP (ultrasound and BPP) 4:15 regular OB appt 5:00 assuming status quo at the BPP and OB appt, potentially go in for Cervadil if I need it / there is a bed for me
If not 5:00 tomorrow, Wednesday morning we may start pitocin.
I was originally told Thurs or Fri for induction though so I'm trying not to get too used to the idea that it could be tomorrow and get my hopes up. Really, I would just prefer that this stubborn thing come out on it's own!!
Just got a call from DS' daycare-- they had a baby drop so DS2 has a spot! So relieved that we don't have to split pickup and he will be somewhere I trust implicitly. I called the other place we were going to use as backup and told her and the director was s bitch about it. Oh well!
I am anxiously awaiting the stats of DD#2 with her one year appointment. It starts at 2:30. PT lady wrote a long detailed note of DD improvements. I wish I could of read it before the doctor got a hold of it.
I deleted my work email off my phone and ended up deleting all my contacts. Now I have to have them turn back on my email so I can download all my contacts. Very annoyed at myself. I know to not delete contacts too.... Grrrr.
