I decorated for fall this weekend and I love it. It is *only* getting up to 85 today. That means it is fall in FL y'all! I baked banana bread and made a big pot of chili yesterday too.
I spent a good chunk of time every day this weekend cleaning out closets and rearranging furniture. My house is clean and organized and beautiful.
We bought an infant carseat this weekend.
I washed all the hand me down clothes for our baby girl, bought closet dividers and then organized and hung all her clothes up. It was so cute to see DS's clothes hanging on one side and her clothes on the other (they will be sharing a room). It is so surreal to me that I will be a mom of two in the near future.
I also finished my registry this weekend. I feel so accomplished. Best weekend in a long time.
I'm babysitting my nephew for the first time today. We took some FaceTime pics and sent them to his mother. Id pip but there is some crazy amount of cleavage because he keeps pulling down my shirt and idk if it's hot or tacky, haha.
I froze coffee in ice cube trays yesterday and made iced coffee with it this morning. It tasted great, but my lazy ass is of the impression that it's too much work. I only have a one-cup coffee maker, so it takes forever to make enough to make freezing worthwhile. Need to try the pioneer woman's recipe next.
Yesterday was great. I went to BBW to get new fall hand soap, got some eye cream samples at Sephora, and finally caved and bought Diorshow mascara. We slept with the windows open last night and it was glorious.
My husband made and packed my lunch today. Macaroni salad and spinach salad. I feel like a 3rd grader.
did he put a note in it telling you how special you are
I 100% know I'm totally cheesy but every once in a great while my H really will put a note in my lunch and I love it. Damn, I have revealed too much of my lame-ness today!
Bernadine, I'm sorry it didn't work out with T. At least it was fun for a little while, right? :)
H and I are in desperate need for some sex. The last time was three weeks ago, the night before I first got news of my miscarriage, and doctor's orders are we have to wait another week and a half. Things are on edge in the KD household.
I put on a front last week but had a rough weekend. I am mostly okay but last week: 1) I went to back-to-school night and saw another newly pregnant preschool mom friend which hit me like a punch in the gut; 2) I was picking out baby books for my sister's shower and broke down seeing titles like On the Night You Were Born (which I did NOT buy); and 3) I remembered that we are planning to do a big family photo for my parents' 60th birthdays next year, and I am sad that there will only be four grandkids instead of five like I had envisioned. On the upside (see, there I go again), I hope to be fully pregnant again by then, so it may be a great excuse for one last chance to get maternity shots.
Also, Kate starts school tomorrow. (Em started today, but that's nothing new for her or me.) I am sad (and will probably bawl like a baby after I drop her off) but mostly glad that I will have a couple hours to run errands kid-free or run outside stroller-free. Or sit on my ass and watch TV, which I know will happen too.
Also, also, it's a gorgeous, early fall morning today. Which was weird because it was still hot hot hot on Saturday, but just in time for school, we need jackets.

I'm playing phone tag with HR and I'm about to climb up a wall. After this conversation, I can FINALLY drive over to work and officially hand in my resignation. (How many fucking times have I said that already?)
I should go shower. That's a surefire way to make her call me back, right?

I'm feeling sorry for myself today. I'm tired of living in crappy places and apartments. I want a house and I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon.
i'm annoyed at rigby because every time i think i've bought him a toy that will last him for awhile, he just ends up destroying it within minutes. there is seriously nothing tough enough for him and i can't understand why he has to chew ALL THE TIME.
my husband is annoyed with me that i keep buying him toys, but he's a puppy! he needs some stimulation.

I feel bad about an earlier post I made. I feel like I'm being judged for it now and I understand why but I didn't mean it how it came out. I want to hide.

Kong toys. They have different shapes/sizes and they're supposed to be able to take a lot of rough play.

Elk Antlers and maker sure they are elk my guy who is a power c chewer can get through the deer pretty quickly. The elk we have had for almost a year and it is just now getting down to needing to be replaced.
it looks like a sex toy, lolol we have a zogoflex, which is still intact, it's really durable. but they have limited toys that would work for him, and i feel bad giving him the same toy in different colors. he looooves soft toys, but he just rips through them instantly. it makes me so sad.

Haha I am never going to look at that stupid kong the same again. Besides that one though I think the other kong toys are a waste of money if your dog is a bad chewer. When my dog was a puppy I would go to petsmart and buy like $40 worth of toys and they would be destroyed in 2 minutes or less. So now all he gets is the kong and the antlers and he seems to be happy enough with that. Oh, I also give him tennis balls from time to time that my friend gives us. He loves them and is a little obsessive about them so he won't rip them up right away. As soon as he does I take them away.
Also, we taught Cosmo "be gentle" and would give her stuffed toys with supervision, and if she started ripping them, we would take them away, pet them gently, and say "be gentle" and give it back. It took like 100 times, but it worked. She hasn't destroyed any toys in like 5 years.
Doby is too crazy to have the word gentle in his vocabulary, so he hasn't learned that one yet. But he gets better the older he gets, and hasn't destroyed any toys in the last year or so, even the ones that are possibly destroyable (even though he will still go through a regular stuffed toy in about 3.5 seconds.)
ugh. so toy problems just got bad to worse! we had this white rubber ball that rigby loved and i was just playing catch with him in the backyard and it rolled into a really deep hole alongside the fence. i CAN NOT get it out. kitchen gloves and all, it's totally buried now. plus, spiders. ew. i really tried. rigby really tried.
now he's super mopey and i am the worst dog mom in the world.
