Oh dear. Dh and I were just having a political discussion and there was at one point an American tangent where I mentioned Trump leading the GOP polls. He says he's fine with that and, I quote, "he has the charisma to be president. At least he speaks his mind". Who is this person I married?
E was up at 5:45 with a bad dream. She rolled around until 6:45, but never went back down. Maybe this will be good when we drive home during nap time and she'll actually sleep.

Invoke Godwin's Law and tell him that Hitler was well-known for speaking his mind too.
I told him Putin has that same charisma. This is how world war 3 starts.
Not sure if anyone saw my MOTN, o dark thirty post, but I'm thinking I picked a too dark color for the beach house front door. I wanted something that would pop, but I'm afraid I should have gone one up on the chip. I won't know what it looks like until we're back for thanksgiving.
I offered to paint the doors myself, but my dad is having the contractor do 4 sliders, so he's just going to have home do the 3 exterior doors too.
DD has to go to backup care since both school and her afterschool program are closed. It's a Bright Horizons center, and she's loved the others she has been to, so hopefully this will be a similarly drama-free experience.
Dh has a man cold. I think I may be getting it? Really hoping not. I can't believe it is Monday again- how does this keep happening?
The family is at Disney now without out. Booo? I'm still undecided how I feel. We got family pictures at the apple orchard done yesterday so that was awesome. She sneak peaked one and I'm waiting on the rest. Usually she shows three so I'm hoping she does some more today.

I accidentally pinched the side of DS's hand in the clip when I was buckling him into the bouncy seat. Cue hysterical crying. Ugh, it's all red and I feel horrible. It didn't break skin and he's happily cooing now, but I still feel like a bad mommy.
Ds is 3 today! He was up at 5 to celebrate ;/. He has a low grade fever so I guess we will postpone the small dinner we were planning with a couple of his friends.
DD has been up since DH left for work at 6:30. I was hoping for a cozy morning of snuggling/sleeping in, but she was having none of it. Oh well, at least I have some yummy new coffee to help wake me up, and then we'll be hitting up a local flea market.

Day 1 at the new job. I am waiting by the receptionist, and she is listening to a weird talk radio show where a woman called in to talk about a yeast infection.

On my way to work this morning, I saw a car that was presumably out of gas. As the driver stopped the car in the middle of the lane, went into his trunk and got a gas can and seemed to be filling the tank. This was on the busiest main road in my town during rush hour. He was in the left lane just past an intersection with a gas station. Which begs the question why he did not pull off the road if his tank needed to be filled and why he carries a gas tank in his trunk.
My big certification test is tomorrow am. I'm not sure if I'm ready or not yet, but am getting super nervous. If you see me on here today, please yell at me and tell me to go study.
I just want to play at the new house instead of study. Bah.
oceanspray you asked me on the Friday randoms thread where in Pittsburgh we were, but I missed it completely being on my phone! We typically stay with friends in Squirrel Hill, but are usually all over the place. We visit 3-5 times a year. Are you local?
I think I must have found a wrinkle in the space-time continuum that allowed me to make my train despite leaving my house like 20 min late.
M has started playing peekaboo and it's ridiculously adorable: face plant into the nearest object, then lift head up suddenly with a big smile and wait for someone to say "peekaboo"
Ds1 has started making animal noises and it's so cute!
Our living room has become the playroom and it's driving me nuts. I wish DH would sleep on the guest bed when it's a daybed (vs pulled out into a king) so Ds1 would have room to play but he's tall enough it's not as comfortable.

Yes! I live right by there!
Too funny! One of my friends lives near the Greenfield Bridge they're about to blow up, we'll be there for the demolition (by happenstance, we're usually in town for New Years Eve). We should get coffee some time we're there! Like I said, we're there at least 3 times a year, that's bare minimum.
I think we figured out why DS won't poop on the toilet. He strongly prefers to stand while pooping.
Anyone else dealt with this?
DS1 poops while lying down on his tummy. He is strongly resistant to going on the potty. For now, I'm just encouraging him to stop and ask for a diaper to go in (otherwise he just goes in underwear). Hoping he is more willing soon.
