I'm going to AW my kids' Halloween buckets that arrived yesterday. I still need to figure out what they're dressing up as, but at least I know they'll have cute buckets!

Teeth cleaning question:
Baby 411 says I should use a wet washcloth to wipe out LO's mouth and emerging tooth after every feeding. Even the before bed nursing session and MOTN ones.

Seriously?
LOL, no one has ever done this. Promise. This is why parenting books are crazy.
I have an employee (same one with the bad fashion sense) who cannot remember anything. She sends rude emails, mis-speaks, etc. I've talked to her about it. I've documented it and yet, she doesn't seem to care. It pisses me off.
I'm hoping she gets re-assigned. She is a drain on my team and our division b/c even though she's supposed to be a senior staff person, it's like having an intern.

My new washer/dryer just arrived. First set I've ever own. In London it was washer only and then joint floor washer/dryer in NYC. The ones we had when we moved in were horrible and ruining our clothes! This also means a lower dry cleaning bill!
simpsongal just do what you can. You are supposed to floss every day as an adult. Nobody does (do they?)
And FRER - I have been here too long. What the hell is this? A pregnancy test but why FRER?
I am early for work. So I am having a coffee and a cookie in peace
I think it's First Response Early Results (?) - I think it's one of the more reliable early ones. I'm sure the EPT test makers are ennoyed we don't use their already abbreviated name for our discussions
FWIW - I floss 5-6 times/week. There's always a night when I'm just too tired.
Being a military wife, I have lots of FB friends who are also military wives, many of whom are into essential oils and make ridiculous claims about them all the time.
I was working on getting photos uploaded to my computer last night for photo books. Poor DS1 is going to think he only 1/2 existed in 2014. Not only because I have a bazillion pictures of DS2 because he's a baby, but because he will not hold still. I felt guilty that I had twice as many pictures of DS2, so I tried to have DS1 take some pictures this morning. And then I remembered the reason I have no pictures:

May the FB debate begin...
It's not enough to like this, because I love it.
Good lord... if we'd only realized the cure for ebola was Oil of Oregano!

It's pouring and all classes are cancelled for the holiday. It's only 10am and we've been playing "mountain climber" for an hour. My role is mountain. It is a terrible role. T-minus three hours to nap...
BUT I just got an email that our car will be ready for pickup tomorrow! Hopefully I can finagle a way to go get it!!! <)
The kidville by me has special classes today and tomorrow! $50 to camp out all day, $90 for both days. We spent the morning there and are home for nap now.

There is this girl on my FB feed (old coworker) that is always posting about wanting to barter for something. I am not against bartering. However she is an amateur photog and always wants to barter that for something crazy. It is "hey I will take your Christmas photos if you remodel my bathroom". I am irrationally annoyed by it. No one ever replies, and I want to tell her "can you not tell that these are not the same??!!"

LG? We have the same ones and love them. Only problem is that the preset dryer cycles are too short. I always have to manually add time to get clothes completely dry. (This is particularly a problem for me as I'm w lazy launderer and have been known to leave clothes in the dryer for days after running the cycle...)

Fuck I HATE our Kidville. But I might get desperate...
DD woke up with a cold and grumpy as fuck. She seems to be in slightly better spirits now so I may take her out to run some errands. We need to go to the post office which is the worst thing ever. Also to BBB to find a bike helmet for her huge head.
MNO event with Brie and @kcpokergal and there are SWAG BAGS. Pretty fucking exciting. I love free shit.
as you can tell I felt like cursing a lot this morning. Can't do it outloud very often these days so you guys get it

I think I officially crossed into crazy lady territory this morning. The cashier at the grocery store was coughing all over her hands (scan one item, *cough*, scan two more items, *cough cough cough*, etc.). About 20 items in I asked her if she could please cough into her sleeve instead of her hand. She looked embarrassed, said "of course," and immediately washed her hands with hand sanitizer. She thereafter coughed in her sleeve. I felt so bad for saying something, but really lady, your germs are all over the food my family is going to eat (obviously I wash it, but that's not going to kill all of the germs).
I get feeling horrible and not even realizing what you are doing. I once coughed my way through an important exam, totally unaware that I was affecting everybody around me during their test too. I felt so physically awful I honestly didn't even realize I was doing it. After the exam, the professor was like, "Hey, maybe you should go to the doctor." Turns out I had whooping cough. Doh. I still feel horrible about inadvertently pissing everybody off during the exam. I wish somebody would have said something to me one minute into my coughing instead of letting it go for the entire test.

I need someone to come over and take my kid to run around the park for awhile. I'm too pregnant for outdoor activities today, especially since it's supposed to be mid-90s. It would be fine if he'd stay confined to a playground, but he mostly wants to roam to the farthest boundaries of the park in search of dirt to dig in and rocks to throw. Then he wants to be carried back.
What, no takers? He only weighs 38 lbs, if that sweetens the deal at all.

We went raspberry picking! It was so yummy & fun! My DD has today off today and I'm thinking of dragging out alllll the art supplies ( even glitter-gasp!) in an attempt to keep them both entertained
