[madamewaffles]

What's one funny thing you heard or saw this week?

Also put yer randomness in here too.

[acorn99]

Tomorrow is my favorite day of the year!! There are steeplechase races put on by my horse community and so it is a day of tailgating and watching horse racing. And J is big enough to go and see the petting zoo and other fun kid stuff that they do. I decided not to take the baby because the weather will be a little wet and chilly, so I am looking forward to a J and mommy day.

Oh, and I feel down an Amazon Prime pantry hole this week. I only needed bubble bath, but ended up also purchasing 10 different kinds of cake mixes. I really hope this package arrives when my H is not home. I have regrets.

This morning we all watched DS1s butterfly hatch from its cocoon so that was cool! He's so excited to let it fly away at the park after school. I can't believe we actually watched it come out!

I'm watching Greys and B is sleeping in the swing. I'm about to get my second cup of coffee. He was up every two hours after midnight.

I'd like to be a part of the tasting of said cakes.

acorn99 what kind of cake? I can never seem to find enough stuff to fill my box for Amazon Pantry.

I just got done paying bills. I really hate paying them I also had to call our car insurance company and negotiate our rates down.

One of our cats seems really interested in S's pacifiers and I have caught her carrying them around in her mouth by the pacifier portion. I am not sure what's up with her. It's kind of cute (cat sucking on a pacifier) but also not because ew.

I'm going to the dentist today and probably getting a tooth pulled. I'm really embarrassed that I let it get this far and haven't dealt with it, and I'm really dreading the appointment. Thankful though that they could get me in today and mil is here to watch the kids.

[acorn99]

sarcaztic10, there was lots of duncan hines mixes in the baking section this month. All sorts of flavors!!

[madamewaffles]

My one mission today: find cake.

[ellebelle]

I have no funny or cute. Need more coffee first. Also they are using a chainsaw about 2 feet outside my door on this vacant house so no chance to nap for me. The baby is napping on me and I feel trapped because the swing is closer to the door and to get to her room I would have to walk past the door too. I cannot wait until this demo is done.

DH made me breakfast cake. As in, he knows I'm going to eat the cake for breakfast anyway, so he made a spice cake and didn't ice it lol

We decided on a whim yesterday to replace our old ugly disgusting fur trap of a living room carpet yesterday. Today we are moving everything out and ripping out the old carpet and linoleum combo. Tomorrow we will attempt to install with three kids lol.

I'm so excited!!

The joke DH told me this morning:

A dad caught his son killing a butterfly. "No butter for two weeks" he said. The next day he caught him killing a honey bee. "No honey for two weeks" he said. The next day the little boy saw his mom killing a cock Roach. He looked at his dad and said, "do you want to tell her or should I ?"

DH thought it was hilarious lol

Today is DD's 3rd birthday! She has been excited about it for a week, and she leapt out of bed this morning and announced that she is now 3.

I'm in the same boat. The last time I got a regular cleaning was 2012, right before DD1 was born. After that I totally neglected myself. In June I broke a tooth and the dentist said it was due to decay. I also feel totally embarrassed that I haven't taken care of my teeth. He put a temporary filling in it but I have to go back for a crown and root canal soon. I hope your appointment isn't too bad.

That's awful, but it's somewhat comforting to know I'm not the only one. I last went shortly after dd was born in 2014 and have had to cancel a couple of appointments since because of dh's schedule and no child care. Really though I should have been able to make it work at some point if I had really tried. I broke a filling, and it hadn't been bothering me, so I ignored it for a long time. Now that I have a newborn and I'm up at night my grinding and clenching is 100x worse again and I've really damaged it. I'm probably looking at a root canal and crown as well.

Amazon food!! They have food, drinks and other household goods. It is pantry items, not fresh stuff. But they do have fresh stuff deliverable to some areas. They dont do 2-day shipping on the pantry items, but sometimes the prices are better than the grocery store.

I've been eyeing trying this out, but haven't pulled the trigger. I will be checking it out especially with the prospect of cake. 😆

Basically it's individual or regular package grocery (dry and canned goods as well as things like toothpaste, shampoo, toilet paper, etc) items for a decently low price but to buy these items you have to fill up a "box." I put box in parentheses because I have no idea how big the box actually is.

I can usually find one or two items to put in the box but never enough to fill up enough of the box. We usually buy toilet paper, toothpaste, and garbage bags in bulk from Amazon so those things are out and the grocery type items I find are generally cheaper from our regular grocery store.

This is exactly why I loathe carpeting:

And we have a dyson so it's not like my vacuum was crap.

Ew.

[cavewmn]

Yesterday, watery poop. Today, normalish poop. But he is also spitting up a ton more on this new formula. Also seems a ton more fussy.

[sarcaztic10]

Ray yuck. I also hate carpet, someday I hope to get that laminate hardwood throughout our house.

[willow]

Is a 10 week growth spurt a thing? Because omg. The last few days he's slept worse overnight, he snacks on an ounce every hour and fights like hell to nap, only to doze like 10-15 min and then just fuss for no reason. I'm used to cranky at night but wtf to this cranky all day shit.

[rungirlrun]

Tonight I am going out with some girlfriends. I'm going to shower and wear non nursing clothes. I thawed milk so baby is staying home. I'm going to drink. Tomorrow will suck bc I'll probably be up every hour with the baby, but it will be worth it as this has been a really crappy week.

willow E sounds just like your little guy. Eating, not sleeping, being cranky. They are the same age. I'm dying.

I hope you have a great night! Sounds like you really need it. I haven't had a night out yet. I've run errands by myself but that's it lol. I just have to keep repeating that this phase will pass...though I feel like I've been saying that forever!

I'm taking DD to her preschool ghost story bonfire from 7-9. I believe there will be marshmallow roasting. Wild and crazy stuff. DH will stay home with that baby. It's DH's first alone time longer than a grocery trip and DD and I haven't had mommy daughter time in ages.

A very casual friend/neighbor just brought me a bag of free baby clothes from her son and has promised us more in the future. I could kiss her!

I have crazy heartburn. Maybe it wasn't a good idea to eat almost a whole bag of Wheat Thins Chips in one sitting.
