Layla won't nap. She has a tooth cutting through. Send coffee.
I did get her to sleep on me for about half an hour, then I hand feted her to her crib and she was up standing trying to grab the camera within 5 minutes. I'm going to get a greasy burger for lunch.
sdfonz619 , I refuse to Google this. What are brown widows? Are they slightly less evil black widows, or just the same thing but a different color? We have spiders in our garage that look like BWs, bodywise, but they're brown. I have not gotten my face close enough to study markings, because I am not suicidal. I believe I'm up for sainthood because I have not killed every single one yet.
Yesterday I saw a big bastard next to H's mowing sneakers, but I didn't make the kill, because I was in flip flops, and you can't be too careful. So I told him to shake out his shoes before he mows next time. I did my wifely duty. If he dies because he forgot, it's natural selection.
ETA: And that'll learn him to keep his mowing sneakers in the garage.

Honestly, I don't know if they are less evil than black widows but they are HUGE. Like bodies the size of ping pong balls, or at least a couple of them were this large and apparently that means they have babies inside.

NOPE. Fire is officially the only solution to your problem. I stand by my prior statement. RIP your house.
Okay, MW just let me know she may have over exaggerated about the size of the spiders last night and they are really only the size of about a quarter. Um, personally, I don't think it matters that's still big AF for a spider! and if it has babies...

I am hosting a play date and waaaay over thinking it. It's like 3 moms and I plan on serving iced tea (boozy and non), lemonade, nachos with layer dip, homemade brownies, homemade ice cream, and a veggie tray.
Hi my name is London and I'm a hostaholic.
This sounds amazing!! Wish you lived a little closer

b, Do you have a JoAnn Fabrics or similar store near you? Many of the hobby stores will hold classes for us newbs. I did a Joann basics class, where they just kind of get you comfortable with your machine and teach you some basics. You also get a nice little kit/supplies as part of your class fee. Then they have project-based classes where you actually make stuff. I highly recommend it.
cowplanet I was wondering about sewing classes like that. Maybe for the next pregnancy I'll take one of those. Last pregnancy I took a series of cake decorating classes. Of course, I didn't have LOs to take care of at home then either.
I'm giving myself a high five guys. Hosting the play date went great. I am proud of myself for making friends, which is not always my strength. It was not that long ago I was a weepy mess convinced I would be a total loner forever here, and now my house is a mess full of empty dishes and toys from a great afternoon with pals.
Also, I've decided the snack menu for this fictional S15 meet up would be brunch inspired. Cinnamon rolls a few ways (buns, tear apart loaf, maybe cinnamon French toast bites). Mini eggs benny. These hashbrown appetizers I love (hashbrown patty topped with tzatsiki and cucumber curls). Mimosas for all. Chocolate fondue. Tons of coffee.

Working from my office at home is so much nicer than sitting in my office at work. (I'm working extra to make up for time I plan to miss later this week.) Too bad my workplace's formal policy is no telecommuting.
I'm a computer programmer. There is no reason I need to be in my office. At least they make exceptions for sick kids, etc. I'd probably be more productive if I could work wherever I want. I get antsy and bored working in the same environment all the time, which mean I focus poorly.
Just got back from the ultrasound. Baby is measuring 6 weeks 2 days, a little sooner than I thought. Official due date is Jan. 22. I'm feeling really not excited about this but that probably has a ton to do with the terrible nausea, exhaustion and kink in my breastfeeding relationship with C.
I want to start working on a prototype of a craft that will involve sewing. I can stitch by hand, and can rudimentary use a sewing machine, but I have no idea how to actually load thread or use a sewing machine beyond 'hey, it's ready, just push the button and direct the fabric'.
I purchased this bad boy a few years ago and it has been sitting in the closet, because I don't know how to load the thread or really use it
I decided to pull it out this week and figure out how to use it, but did I buy something too intricate? How hard is it to load thread on an average sewing machine? Would I be better off buying a cheapie (if I can talk H into it) or will it not be that hard to figure out?
Finally - the project I'm working on involves using thicker material in cut outs. I'm thinking felt or fleece. I need something that can hold shape on its own - little pieces of material that can stand alone. How hard is it to sew fleece/felt? Would I be better off using thin material and sewing two pieces together with a piece of cardboard in the middle? (I'm not sure if that would even work, tbh).
I don't mind a challenge, but I don't have a TON of time to learn and I don't want to give up because it is too difficult straight out of the gate.
WWYD?
I would love to chat with you. Most machines are pretty straight forward as far as threading goes. Its hard to be on here on mobile so do you wanna either Facebook messenger me or I can give you my number and we can text!
Also felt and fleece are both pretty easy to sew. The biggest thing will be your needle selection!

I just want to give you hugs and grape juice (I wish it was wine). I hope that 9 months from now when C is a year and a half, a little more independent and hopefully sleeps better that things will be more exciting. Otherwise you have us and we will all be plenty excited for you!
sandj918, congrats on a good ultrasound! Sorry you're not feeling well. At least you're about 1/2 way through first tri? I think the end of BF is hard no matter what, but when it's now how you envisioned it's that much more difficult. C will be fine and maybe she will the mythical baby that sleeps better on formula - at least according to my MIL's logic.

I'm so creeped out right now. I hate hate hate spiders. Ping pong ball size spiders with babies would terrorize me.
H is working late so I got the kids up to bed about 13 minutes ago DS went right down. Val not so much she is screaming her head off she skipped a second nap today. I think she is a bit overtired. I'm cooking out on the grill so there is now way I'm getting her. I'm hungry!

sandj918, ((HUGS)) I am so sorry your supply has dipped and you aren't feeling well. This is so much to deal with, but we are definitely here for you and excited for you!
I am leaving for a conference on Thursday! Eek! I've started packing while Jacob naps. In rummaging through my closet for "conference clothes", I found my wedding ring! Huzzah!

I less than three planning menus.
This sounds amazing.
This post is literally the only thing that tempts me to move to Canada....
I think I've perfected how to dress like a French woman...
Start with sneakers. Not the ones you'd go running in, think more Adidas circa 1996. Add in some skinny jeans. Then a t-shirt topped with a leather jacket, bomber or motorcycle style only. Put a scarf on top of that, the bigger the better. If it covers from your nip to your chin you're doing it right. Lastly, add a purse, definitely something flashy the more it clashes with your sneakers the better.
If all of the above (sans sneakers and scarf) could be in black then all the better. Oh, and don't forget the razor scooter!
This sounds very San Francisco, especially the razor scooter.
