Share three things thursday...

[ct]

name any 3 things that are on your mind today!

[ct]

1. Feeling better about getting everything done before we leave on vaca. DW stepped it up big time and did evenings solo the past 2 days so I could work late and run errands.

2. I've decided to do a 5k for my 30th...that should be interesting!

3. How much $ would it take for you to put one of those advertising wraps on your car for a year? My kids' dental office just posted this question on facebook and I answered $3k. but now i'm wondering if I sold myself short...

1. TPR is being postponed by only 4 months (instead of 6), ASW told our agency worker that it's because she wants us to have all the facts about Owl's issues. This is good.

2. I need ear plugs when I go swimming, I think I'm getting an ear infection from being in the pool so much.

3. I love the warm weather right now but I am so excited for Fall.

1. I am having some health issues right now. It could be nothing. It could be a big life changing deal. I won't know anything until some tests are in. I am sick about it.
2. I really need to catch a break on this one.
3. I am terrified right now.

1. SSG - I hope everything is okay. My fingers are crossed that you get only good news.

2. The boys have met a new friend at camp and want to invite him over to play. While I've met the kid, I have never met his parents. I sent a note to camp with the kids for them to give to the kid to give to his family saying how much the boys have loved playing with him this summer and that we'd love to have him over once the summer is over (I think this is his last week at camp.) Then I had to freaking hem and haw over if I just sign my name and let her figure out that the kids have 2 moms or sign both of our names and get it over with so she knows upfront. I signed both of our names and crossed my fingers that all is well because it is a more liberal county than not.

3. I need to order clothes. I don't want to order clothes. The new eliptical is being delivered on Saturday. Hopefully, I will find some internal motivation to use said machine, have results, and will want to buy new clothes.

oh and #4 - Women on the beach volleyball team? :Y: :heart:

You'll have a PM in a few minutes.

SSG -I am thinking of you and praying that this falls into the "nothing " camp. ((Hugs))

1. Our birth mother just had another baby. He looks just like Pandora.
2. I have no idea if she is taking him home or if he is okay.
3. I can't stop thinking about what it would be like to have a newborn. We have never had a newborn.
Bonus -my hands won't stop shaking.

[twotrue]

1. I'm fucking pissed.
2. I'm fucking pissed at DD's daycare.
3. I'm so fucking pissed that I'm considering flying my mom out here to watch her until I can find a new daycare for her.

and omg I love that I can fucking cuss on ProBoards because nothing other than fucking can fucking explain how I feel right now.

[ct]

what the fuck happened T*T???!?!

And your use of 'fuck' is why I :heart: you!

Well there have been a lot of little things but I've been trying to over look them. The owner of the daycare is never ever around but I really like the director and manager (who I feel are not getting any support) so I've tried to be understanding with the little things.

But yesterday when I went to pick up DD I had a serious safety concern. Basically two guys were let into the daycare with no director, manager, or owner there. The staff had no idea what was going on and one of the guys was just wandering around. Why the fuck were these two guys let into the building if no one was expecting them to be there? :@

Turns out they were repair guys there to do some work ( but not with any company - just friends of the owner). I emailed the owner my concerns and I get a really flippant (my word of the day, hope I'm using it right ) one sentence response that her staff knew they were coming (Um, no they didn't! The fucking staff told me they didn't!) and that her husband was there with them (Um, no he wasn't!).

And I point blank asked her, if she, the director, and the manger or not on site, who the hell is in charge? Give me a fucking name! Which teacher is next in line? No response. I asked again, no response. That was two hours ago.

If I don't get better answers by the end of the day I'm making a report to the state.

K and I have been looking at other daycares but we haven't found one with an immediate opening that we love. I don't want to move JB just to move her again. I really really wish we had family here who could watch her for a week or two

[ct]

That is scary, and especially fustrating on top of the little things you've been overlooking. And to have such a rude and careless response on top of it?? Not cool.

[cymru]

Sounds like a lot of things are sucking for a lot of people today. hope things turn around for everyone.

1. I wish Annie was bouncing back from her surgery better. She is still having trouble with her throat - barely eating or drinking and lots of crying. It is stressing Mommy out.
2. We have a house guest coming in a little over a week. My house is a disaster. I am so tired I have no idea how I will get it in shape for company.
3. I just feel like I could use a vacation from my life right now.

TT - that is fucking nuts.

No, seriously, I think those are some serious concerns that shouldn't be taken lightly.

I hope everything is okay. Sometimes waiting is the hardest part.

Agree. We had similar unaccounted for men at my office once and they were basically casing us for a robbery. They shouldn't even be able to get into the building, it's a serious concern.

1. Official BFN today. I could tell from the chart before C even told me.
2. I haven't really participated here yet because checking two boards is a little overwhelming for me. But it's so nice to see some people on here who aren't on The Bump as often!
3. I have a nutritionist appointment today. Unclear on what she could possibly tell me I don't already know, but we're talking about my weight and my ridiculously high risk for Type 2 diabetes, and how to get that under control. I'm not really looking forward to it.

[bluedaisyus]

1. I wish they would hurry up and hire my boss's replacement already. He retired at the end of March.

2. My desk is a mess and it's bugging the shit out of me.

3. I am struggling a little bit. I'm mostly okay, just...not quite.

[ElsaVonM]

1. I loathe counting calories. Too bad it's the only thing that works.

2. I totally understand that babies aren't rational actors, but sometimes I really, really wish I could just sit down and explain to them about how sleeping makes you feel better when you're tired, and all you have to do is stop crying/squirming/frantically searching for your pacifier and just go to sleep and you would feel all better when you wake up.

3. I made "fettucine" with a daikon radish last night and it was surprisingly good. 30 calories for a bowlful, not counting the sauce. www.marthastewart.com/338468/daikon-fettucine-with-tomato-basil-sauce

1. SSG, I have been thinking about you since I read this, hours ago.

2. We just got back from N's 9 month appointment, with a different dr in the group (his primary told us to put him in his crib and leave him there until he 'figures it out'.) She gasped, face red, eyes wide, with her hand over her mouth at something he did and told us N exhibits the reasoning/communication skills of a 2+ year old and she has never seen anything like it. I went to the appointment close to tears, hanging onto a thread.. I honestly wished (asked) for a sledge hammer last night. I envisioned myself destroying the bathroom... I am fucking exhausted. N doesn't sleep. Ever. He won't go to K at night and this morning, I was barely hanging on. I blew dried my hair for the appointment, determined to be positive and not look insane or exhausted, knowing full well I would have decked her if she told me to let him cry... I finally feel validated, in my fight to let him figure it out. He is a special kid. (for the pro CIO on this board, we tried it, I am not knocking it. It is not the right method for N and I have been fighting an uphill battle (with everyone and myself). It is getting harder and harder the longer it goes on. I had thought we would be in a better place by now, but we aren't and it is getting impossible to see why I am fighting anymore.. today helped. Tremendously.

3. That said, I am fucking tired.

4. I love the F word. Thanks for letting us all go there today, TT and hell yes. I would report them. And if you can get baby TT to me, I will watch her

[hensmum]

ssg - Will be thinking of you and hoping for good news!

Two - WOAH that is NOT okay!

ElsaVonM - love your #2! Henry loves to refuse food when he's hungry and melting down.

1. 2 year molars suuuuuuck
2. I am getting a tattoo for my birthday. Just made the appointment today, and I'm so excited!
3. I half-ass cleaned three rooms and a hallway today. That's equivalent to 1.5 rooms spotless, right? :-p

[thiswillbe]

Oh man! Lots going on for us all! Big huge hugs for all who need them!!

[hensmum]

Jean - so glad pedi went well!! Hang in there! CIO does work for some, but not everyone, and it certainly isn't a cure all. I know some CIO moms who have had to do it over and over again - like it works for three months, then something throws them off, like teething, going on vacay, daylight savings, etc, and you have to start all over. So it's not even garunteed that if you did it would work once and for all ( just something else to remember when people are being pushy jerks who think they know your kid better than you do).

(and in case anyone thinks I sound like a pushy jerk, hahaha, I did CIO with Henry - as a toddler, and after trying EVERYTHING else)

[eratmama]

Big hugs ssg & all around.

1. This is my first alone time all day & now I don't want to go to bed.
2. We had Carrot's hair braided 3 weeks ago (awesome lady works at the Y daycare, braided her hair for $15. So much easier to put bike helmet on and off!) Taking it out tonight took nearly as long as putting it in! About 2 hours.
3. Carrot's Bd party is in two weeks. It was the date I figured our house should be in order by. We are gone camping for 5 of those days. Hmmmm. Anyone want to come hang some curtain rods?
