How are y'all? My mom is going in for surgery today, so if you can keep her in your thoughts and send some good juju, I would appreciate it. I hate how nervous she is, but I know this is going to improve her quality of life hugely.
motzie, I really like Carl so far. He recommended I get the furnance cleaned before I list. I did that yesterday and the dude discovered that my heat exchange is cracked. So, I need a new furnance. It is 40 years old, so I shouldn't complain. I am just WAY happy I found out before I listed, so I can jack the price up a little bit. Better than finding out after I already accepted an offer.
Oh my god you guys. I survived the trip home alone with both girls. H had to leave Sunday for meetings in a different city. A1 had not slept in 4 days and A2 is cutting teeth. It could have been much worse, and people from our flights kept stopping me to say how great they were. A1 was crabby and then got wild, which she kept to running circles around me at baggage claim with her blanket over her head. The baby had a full poop blow out an hour into the flight.
THEN we are waiting outside for my MIL to pick us up (in my car) and finally after ten minutes I see her honking at me from H's car. She'd left my interior lights on since Friday so my battery was dead. So she was trying to switch car seats when all she really needed to do was move the bucket from my car to the base in H's car. She tells me she got confused in the parking garage at our building and didn't go around enough times. No, she literally pulled through the gate and stopped in one of the first spots. We're on the third floor, she had to have known that wasn't even close. Ahhhhhhhhh.
No real harm, and I feel bad she was stressed. We got everyone fed and into bed almost right on time. So much coffee today.
Good thoughts and juju to your mom, doglove. I hope everything goes well!
I just spent too much time finishing the 13pager on ML about puppy mills and BYBs, and I'm kind of wishing I hadn't read the last three pages. Nature is cruel
and cuddlyevil, when you find the bottom of your desk, wanna come find mine? I started my year end purge of 2014 files last night but of course I only got maybe 1/4 of the way thru so my desk looks like a disaster zone.

I can only hope that today ends up being better than yesterday. So far it's working. Ds seems to have benefited from the extra hour of sleep. I'm hoping it continues because we have to go out to dinner for my mom's birthday tonight.
Hugs and lots of healing thoughts for your mom doglove!
I am so ready for spring, but it is still so cold outside. My hands are so dry and are cracking and bleeding from the cold air. Yikes! And it's supposed to snow again later this week. Go home, Mother Nature! You're drunk!
I think one of my friends has lost her ever-loving mind.
We went on a cruise together (my first and last cruise as I am not a cruise person) two years ago. It was a Royal Caribbean cruise. Since then she has been on two Disney cruises and has this new found obsession with Disney.
Well she just sent me a link to a Disney Cruise for next year that goes to Europe. Are you fucking insane? I do not care if Disney cruises to Fiji, it will be a cold day in hell before I board one of those annoying ships.
Last night the Dr stopped by to talk about a medical issue one of the kids has and how it might impact his behavior/ability to control aggressive impulses. It led to us talking about his issues, me being completely honest about what I think (he confirmed all of it), and him sleeping over because it was so late. I need all the coffee this morning.
gault it means that I was right that the Dr doesn't just see me as just for fun not just because he thinks I might get attached, but because he might get attached. When we met he did feel more for me than just a potential hookup, he saw me as someone he could settle down with, which spooked him. So it really means that I understand the depth of his issues and am still of the stance that I wouldn't want to date him unless he worked his stuff out in individual therapy and then decided to pursue me. I like that I understand for sure now and I'm not going to revisit all of this because all I plan on talking to him about going forward are professional topics.
spindle92 - I've actually heard that the Disney cruises are sometimes really nice. They have so many activities for the kids and are really strict about keeping kid-free zones adult-only. I have a friend who actually prefers the Disney cruises not for the Disney factor but because the staff is so attentive.
I have no idea if this is actually true because I'm definitely not a cruise person. Never been on one, and probably never will be on one. lol

I have actually heard they are "not bad" either but there I still no chance I am going on one.
That damn Horn blowing all the time is enough to put me over the edge.
I am an all inclusive resort vacationer, one cruise was more than enough for me.

God, I LOVE all inclusive resorts! I've never had a better vacation
I just went for lunch and a long walk around the block. I'm in a fitbit challenge, thanks Doglove for starting it and want to make sure I hit my goal. It's also really beautiful out today and I would much rather be outside than in.

I just walked Buddy at lunch too - so lovely outside!
