It's Thursday bitches!!!

[rugbywife]

Good morning! How is everyone doing?

[krystee]

I have a vacation day today! I slept an hour later than usual and will be going to Panera to read a book and have a peaceful breakfast before I get a pedicure. Bliss!

[preppy]

We had the best nights sleep in 9 weeks. And now DH is up with her and I'm relaxing.

I am thinking of maybe going to the outlets today but can't decide if I want to or not. If I don't I will probably do trader joes and the BF support group today.

[zarapipe]

I had a 730 conference with dd1 teacher. At 728 she has to call to cancel bc she had a sick kid and is not there today. I have taken so much time off work lately and now I have to ask for more. It's not her fault, I know. Heck I'm not at work today either because of a "sick" kid. And she isn't sick, just an mmr reaction but whatever dc

[simpsongal]

Not good. My older bro called me last night to tell me how bad my twin brother's drug use has gotten (he has a 1 yr old daughter). Apparently he's graduated from prescription pills to rotating suboxone and heroin - and he lost his job b/c he showed up stoned. My older bro told my parents and they confronted my twin. I'm not sure what the plan is or if there is one. I gather my twin is not interested in rehab since he posted a FB meme calling 'snitches bitches.'

I feel bad for DD sometimes. She's SUCH an easy baby, happy to go anywhere or do anything. I feel bad that I'm constantly having to wake her to taker her places. Like yesterday I woke her from her morning nap to go to the house closing, I woke her from her midday nap to leave the restaurant where we had lunch, and DS woke her from her late afternoon nap b/c he was "AWAKE MOMMY!" I'm going to have to wake her again from her morning nap to go to DS's Thanksgiving play at preschool. Poor DD

[kaycee]

I'm going to a Southern Christmas Show today. It's like a craft fair on steroids. Then out to a nice meal.

My kid will only use a little potty and the lines for the bathroom at this thing are easily 30 minutes long and the car is about a mile away. My husband suggested we just put her little potty under the stroller. We are going to do it. I'm really embarrassed, but relieved that we won't have any issues. As soon as we are out of the newborn stage we are going to cut her off from the little potty.

Good morning! I'm going to head to Costco after preschool drop off this morning. I'm checking with my new mom BFF to see if she needs anything and hopefully she does so I can see that sweet baby.

My moms club has a free pure barre class tonight, so I'm excited about that.

Hoping to get the laundry all put away so I can just do fun stuff with the kids tomorrow. I dream of the day when the kids will fold and put away their own laundry.

[Muddled]

I need to do some shopping and go to the grocery store and do laundry and it is supposed to rain all day. There is no way I will cross everything off my list.

[aspentosh]

Morning!

I just realized DD only has one day of preschool next week. What am I going to do with her for all that time?! lol

[aspentosh]

I'm so sorry simpsongal

@starry liked your post for the sleep, not being nervous about the baby during the conference.
Stupid question, but I don't feel like starting a new post. I'm filling out a job app for a senior position that requires a minimum of 10 years experience. It asks for my high school GPA. I graduated in 1998- can I ballpark this? I don't remember the exact number. There is a possibly I have an old report card packed away in the basement somewhere. But I could be digging for awhile to find it...

Call your high school.  We get these calls all the time. It should take minutes.

[suzubell]

I took a vacation day to write my dissertation. So far I am catching up on Quantico. Ugh.

[humpforfree]

Free toddler today!!
I was debating not going to the gym this morning, but with the way he is acting, I am now trying to get there ASAP.

I love quantico!

You are doing your PhD???

[ssmjlm]

Hugs simpsongal. My sister has battled addiction for a long time, it's really hard when they don't want help themselves.


So I went to the derm last week and she removed a mole. It took all of 60 seconds. I just got my EOB and they're charging me for out-patient surgery. WTF? Of course they'll code it that and not office procedure. I should have become a derm, lol.

[bowies]

I had a bad night. I smashed my passenger side mirror and then came home to a toddler that screamed all night long. He's teething and having night terrors and I'm trying to be sympathetic but I'm just beyond tired. I felt so relieved when he left the house this morning.

Today is picture day at daycare so those pictures should provide some comic relief in a couple of weeks.

[dottyblue]

Something must have been in the air to make all these newborns sleep. DS2 only woke 3 times last night instead of his usual 5-7. It's still less than stellar, but since I had a sobbing melt down two nights ago,I'll take it. I feel amazing this morning!

[Deleted]

It's been in the 60s here all week. Unbelievable for this area in late November. I am so appreciative. It's amazing what unexpectedly nice weather can do for your mood

[meltoine]

I'm ok.

I'm going to drop DS2 at MDO in a bit, then I need to buy new sunglasses and scope out what I need from the craft store to make boutonnières for my sister's wedding.

Then I may take myself out to lunch.

[antoniamarchette]

So sorry simpsongal. That has to be so hard.

I feel like crap today. I think I picked up a cold from DS and I have a toothache. I have tomorrow off and am going to the dentist and now have to schedule my baseline appointment at the RE. I was supposed to go see my friend's new baby but now that I'm sick I think I'm going to cancel.

[zeewifeandmama]

One of my new friends here invited me to go BF shopping. I'm so stoked. I usually do all mine online, but some non kid girl time will be fun. Much needed.

Don't feel bad. Its second child syndrome. She won't remember any of this

[shortstax]

I'm so excited! For the first time in about a decade, DH's company is throwing a big, dressy holiday party! Dinner, dancing, open bar  <)

My DD has been a nightmare lately. I am also blaming teeth and developmental stuff. She is usually so happy and its been just terrible. I hear you.

@supergreen I feel you on some of the guilt. DD2 is actually napping now and I'm going to have to wake her in 15 minutes to go to preschool, and then I'll probably have to nurse her in the car as I wait for my conference slot. A lot different than the days of only one baby where everything was according to their schedule.

My mom told me my sister basically never got a solid nap because she had two older kids (one in elementary and one in preschool) and she never got to do anything on her schedule. She seems ok.

@supergreen too.

My youngest has had to be more go with the flow versus my first two. I mean, I had a three year old newly in preschool and a 19 month old also when he was born and he is MUCH MORE easy going as a two year old.

And my favorite, he's always looking out for his big brother and sister. Like this morning, he asked not for just a granola bar, but for two, so he could give one to his brother. Having never had it all about him is a blessing, I'm convinced.

[namasteak]

Ds1 is still sleeping after coughing a lot last night. I hope he doesn't have a fever because I still want to send him to school.

DH is so loud & it's super annoying right now .Clearing his throat, opening/closing doors...hopefully my tolerance for this picks up soon.

Ds2 is trying to sit up in the RNP & swing (like he's doing a little baby crunch). Should I stop letting him sleep in the swing?

Do they keep these records forever? I find it odd that a position that requires ten years experience is asking for HS GPA. Is that common?

[namasteak]

It would be super awesome if someone found find me a pair of black stretch pants that are nicer looking than black ae jeggings but not so nice I can't wear them at home as a SAHM. Please?

[mcfelix]

Hugs to you and your families simpsongal and @simpledog.

I had a terrible night of sleep. I kept waking up coughing. I'm totally running behind with getting the kids to day care but im not going to work so it really doesn't matter. But the cleaners come today so I want to leave before they arrive.
