Canadians, what's the equivalent of a Target gift card here? You know, universally acceptable gift card for everyone. I'm thinking for L's DC teachers.

I'm at Starbucks, and the drive through has a long line so I got out. Someone else parked next to me and left her dog in the car! I confronted her inside and she just laughed at me and said, "it'll take 2 minutes." Lady, it's Starbucks with a long line. No it won't.
I was so mad, and I hate confrontation, so my heart is still pounding and my blood pressure is up. Ugh. And this occurred 10 minutes ago.
It's only 50 degrees out but very sunny. My car was warm when I returned to it.
So in 15 minutes it'd get up to about 75 maybe? That doesn't seem so awful.
It's the principle. You don't leave children and pets in vehicles, especially when there is a drive through option. At least, I don't.

Amazon.ca
Our Amazon is nothing like your Amazon and his teachers are older so not sure about the online shopping thing.
@notquiteblushing, I could totally see you with a Justin Beiber boytoy but your stamina seems higher than the traditional 36 year old set.
Also I think Scott Disek peen is better than Bieber peen. I once dated a boy with peen like a highlighter cap and I see Beiber being the same. It was not really enjoyable.

DH had a job interview this morning. The job sounded okay, pay was decent & the company was nice. But the hours totally sucked. 10:30am - 7pm so we would barely get to see him. Commute was long too too, 30+ minutes each way.
I just called my OB to make an appointment to talk about PPD/PPA and they can't get me in until January 7. This can't be right, can it? I am thinking about calling my PCP to see if I can get in sooner. As if it isn't hard enough to ask for help, now I feel like there are even more hoops to jump through.
The boys are in gym childcare for the first time. I'm on the treadmill since I didn't know how DS2 would do...15 minutes and so far he's doing ok. I fed him before we left the house and plopped in a swing when I left him. It seems so busy in there I'm so anxious about my baby
So what *is* Santa supposed to say when a kid requests a gift? I'm Jewish so I have no clue. I know the answer is not to suggest ridiculous furniture. LOL.
I think they're just supposed to say "have you been a good boy?"

I think when I was young, my mom would talk to me about what I was going to ask Santa for so she knew going in. No surprises!
She was never married to Scott. But I don't doubt any of this is for publicity... I don't think any of their relationships are real.
Do you think Kim and Kanye is real?
I think Kanye is just always on the search for a muse. Kim is steadily heading into crazy-face territory. Too much work done to that face. I think Kanye may see a stunning natural beauty walk by and claim he found a new muse for his artistic endeavors.
There was a whole episode of South Park about photoshopping, and how Kim is really a hobbit without all the surgery/assistance, heh.
I am in a really bad mood thanks to some not great news about my grandfather's health/the crazy lady he lives with, and no break over the weekend. I decided to come in late this morning and just get up with B, but of course he decided to wake up half an hour earlier than usual. Which is still half an hour later than I usually get up, but man. That did not help.
I need my nails done so bad...they are acrylics & grown out way too much. Fugly
DHs car is dead out front of my house & he took mine to work until noon. Do I call roadside service & get it jumped for him? I'm so bad but I don't want to...I should, I'd be a crappy wife of I don't, right?
I have senioritis. I don't want to do a damn thing at work.
A lot of my work is wrapped up for leave, including lots of things that I worked ahead on so the new person who is covering for me wouldn't have to figure them out. Additionally, they changed around a ton of responsibilities in my department last week so I will be coming back to a lighter desk than I have right now. I basically have to train the people who are getting my responsibilities and hand over all of my files and be done with them. Most of those training meetings are set for this week, but then I still have potentially two short weeks of work. There's only so much Pinterest browsing one can do in a 40 hour work week.

I get that everyone has their lines of defense with their families, but I'm sick of people talking to me like I HAVE to be on their side or else I'm part of the problem. This is brought to you by my being part of an uncomfortable "I would never make my children wake up anywhere but home on Christmas morning" conversation.
My new nephew is going to be born tomorrow and I'm so excited!! I just wish we could be there to see him in the hospital...but Saturday will come soon I hope.
I have too much to get done and no will to do any of it.
1. I think I flamed you. Not because IIRC you carved out grocery shopping as your alone time or anything because I do that, but I think you posted that you were too afraid she would make a scene, which, trust me (my kid just wet his pants at the grocery store last week), no one cares. Sometimes you just have to say eff it. That's my two cents anyway. Take it or leave it.
2. I just leave the cart in the lot when this happens. I figure they pay people to go collect carts. Here's one more.
As the fellow mom of a very fussy/high-needs baby, I'm Team Starry on this one. NQB, you have said time and time again how easy your infants have been. I think you just don't know the PP trauma of having a crying baby you can't soothe until you've been there. People stare. You sweat nervously. It's not awesome.
I'm sorry. I guess I didn't think of it that way. I've definitely have some full on toddler meltdowns in stores but, you're right, as babies my kids were just "hey where are we?"
DH's snoring is making my sleep worse than DD's wake ups. So annoying, but I don't know what the solution is. He used to only snore when he had a drink or two before bed, but that hasn't even been the case lately. I don't know what's causing it. I nudge him or wake him up to change positions, but that doesn't always work and then he just wakes up pissy and mad at me for making his sleep worse.
For now I've just been crashing in the Twin bed in the nursery after dd's first wake up.
One option if you don't suspect apnea is a dental appliance. Definitely have him talk to his dentist. They may do them or they can refer him to someone who does.
Well, that would require him to actually have a dentist. He hasn't been to a dentist in over 10 years. He's one of those annoying men who never goes to the dr/dentist unless he's dying. So irritating.
In reality, I think he just needs to lose a bit of weight. Over the past 5 years he's gained maybe 30 lbs total of pregnancy "sympathy weight" during my 3 pregnancies and hasn't lost any of it.

Aww, and here I thought I was being clever and that he might be more willing to talk to a dentist than a doctor. What is the deal with some men and avoiding health care providers?
I have the "no one will insure me" blues about this whole car-buying thing. Exactly one company gave me a quote. Everyone else has politely told me there's no way in hell they will write me a policy if I don't currently have one.
Yep, the last time I had car insurance was in 2001.

Are you working with an independent agent, or just trying to get online quotes?

I don't know. But it's annoying. One time he was hanging some old really heavy cabinets in our garage and they fell off the wall onto his head and basically almost knocked him out. He had a huge gash in his head and likely a concussion and I had to force him to go to the dr to get checked out. He thought he was fine.
And he got pink eye last year and didn't go to the dr to get eye drops until both his eyes had totally swollen shut and I had to drive him there becuase he couldn't see.
He's just lucky that overall he's a healthy person and doesn't have some chronic illness or something.
I need to stop talking to J about what he wants for Christmas because even though things remain steady at a doll house and camera details are changing. Now he doesn't want people he wants bear dolls. And he wants a green doll house after being obsessed with pink ones anytime he pointed them out.
The doll house is not green. Oh well. But I did pick up some bear dolls to go along with his people ones. That's it, no more changing his mind! Especially after H had to run to the target near his office today to get the last set of bears since the set I found in our target yesterday (also the last set) was missing the baby bear's head. Thankfully I noticed at the last minute while standing in the checkout line!
I'm in line at a book signing with Buzz Aldrin. I just texted a friend I saw at the front and she said she's been in line 2 hours already! This was a bad day to wear heels, lol.
