Bookworm Tuesdays. Randoms.

[malvo]

My kid insisted on taking a book to school and would not give it up. Her teachers let her keep it, thankfully, and will put it in her bin once she loses interest.

She reminds me of Winifred and her book (Hocus Pocus).

NEXT FRIDAY IS PICTURE DAY, AHHHH! I didn't think our DC had a picture day but they dooooo! I can't wait!

We didn't do anything for Halloween. Just had a few tantrums. MH went to the store and then we zombied on the couch with ice cream. I rarely do that anymore so it was nice!

[babys2015]

Hey guys. Been so busy!!

H had the whole weekend off after working 19 straight days so we were busy! Boys loved ToTing!! It was so cute! C was a lion and roared at everyone..

Yesterday was our first day our house hunting..eek. Looks like we're trying to buy a bigger house..I'm nervous..

Taking boys out again this morning and I have my friends son too, wish me luck! 3 kids house hunting..only 2 houses today though..

[graciest719]

TorT was kind of a bust. Jo has a case of the ass and wouldn't let me paint whiskers on her face. Huge tantrums. We went to 4 houses and then home.

Listening to Student Council speeches. A girl running for President has on a shirt that says "Breaking News: I don't care." So no. I mean, I feel bad for her because obviously no one at home cares about her.

[sjep922]

Morning! ToT was a blast! We went with some neighbors and were out much longer than we had planned! 1.5 hours!

She wanted to walk more often than not and loved going up to everyone. People also loved her costume!! So Halloween was a success!!

Taking her to the pedi this morning. I'm guessing we will get a referral to get blood work or see an allergist. Fx we can figure this out soon though.

Oh. Also... I got notification than my inventory should be here tomorrow!! WHAT?! On Friday the llr lady told me 10-15 business days! lol.

[ladymike]

I think my coffee is broken. I'm so sleepy this week even after my usual cup. WHAT IS WRONG.

[bekbek]

sjep922, wow! That was fast.
The girls were very overwhelmed with ToT last night. They got way more candy than I thought they would so I'm going to have to hide it. I didn't give them any last night but A was up at 12 then 3. I didn't nurse at 3 so we had a battle of wills until she fell asleep are 5. I walked out of her room to hear my H's alarm go off. It's going to be a long day.

So, they are doing a mock debate thing between Clinton and Trump. It's pretty funny. These kids are so smart! But I am dying at the irony of a Hispanic kid impersonating Donald Trump.

Trying a new recipe for dinner tonight. Crock pot chicken and noodles. Will see how it goes. Changed the recipe some since we couldn't find frozen egg noodles.

[maddisonrose]

malvo, it's cute that shes loving on books!

ladymike, sorry your coffee isn't working

sjep922, I hope the allergist gets A in quick so you guys can get rid of them for good!

babys2015, that's exciting!!! I mean the three kids seems daunting, but hopefully they are all super good and you guys find the perfect home

graciest719, LOL to the Trump impersonator. so funny

[maddisonrose]

Well TOTing went way better than I anticipated it would!! Declan was just a ham walking around as Mickey Mouse with his giant green Halloween bucket. I filled it with some dump trucks and he refused take them out. We were lucky enough to also run into some of our neighbors who are a bit older than him and they knew the drill about going to the door and then onto the next house, so Declan just jumped right in with them and they went in a pack! It was so heartwarming.

Bedtime was a bit of a show, took him a long time to settle down and we have to go out again tonight for my best friends birthday. Pretty sure by the end of the week his schedule is going to be completely messed

[sjep922]

maddisonrose glad D liked ToTing. He looked adorable! Also - we get to see you this month right?!

babys2015 gl today!! I love looking at houses!

[maddisonrose]

sjep922, YES! 18 more days!! So we should figure out a time that works for you guys to do something

[maddisonrose]

Also rvamama just wanted to send you hugs from yesterday's thread!! I'm sure you are way harder on yourself than the situation at work calls for. It's a new position for you some definitely give yourself a good amount of time to adjust and settle with all of the new responsibilities. I hope things settle down soon and you can have a minute to catch your breath. No matter what your doing a great job!

[rvamama]

My rough day yesterday spilled over into my night. F had a horrible nights sleep. Her ear is still draining and now her snot is thick and green so I'm worried she's gotten an infection.

Im looking forward to heading home and donning my pajamas!

[malvo]

Hugs, rvamama, and FX for a healthy baby. The weather change has been crazy and everyone is suffering up here.

[ruemorgan]

Still trying to figure out when to tell my boss im leaving. Because you know, the timing is never right. And balls-I have none. My bosses assistant (shes new) just came in and literally cried to me about the problems shes having with our boss. And then she told me the district manager is on her way over. Ugh. So tomorrow? Too much awkward, mehhh.

[maddisonrose]

ruemorgan that is always an awkward conversation. Better to just do it and rip the band aid off as quickly as possible

[ladymike]

ruemorgan, you could do what I did at Starbucks and just shove a note with your apron in your boss's inbox after you clock out.

ruemorgan when I worked at burger King in hs I called and said I am done no 2 weeks or anything just done. It is always hard to say it. Hopefully she won't give you crap for your last bit of time there.

[maddisonrose]

now that halloween is over....it's CHRISTMAS TIME

Not sure if anyone does anything like this, but this is such a good program for helping people in need for the holidays OR posting holiday wishes online if needed. It's starting up again and all wishes are being collected starting this week and I believe being made available Nov 9th.

My hb got a call they want him to come in for a 2nd interview next week.

[ladymike]

I just did some mock accounting for my lularoe business as if it were end of the year today. I need to go spend some money. I bought a label printer. Buying a vertical rack system later this week. What else should I get? Need some more expenses! Haha.

[LesleyEO]

Sitting in professional development today. UGH.

[LesleyEO]

I'm being a terrible employee and I'm online shopping for family photo outfits instead of paying close attention.

[LesleyEO]

So, is this a weird combo? I want to go casual this year for pictures. Jeans, probably not dark denim.
No ideas for myself, per usual.

It is good

[ladymike]

LesleyEO I like it! Love the color palette.

[graciest719]

So, y'all made me feel bad so I bought a potty Sunday. I sat Jo on it today before her bath and she peed! I cannot believe it. I mean, I know she's not potty trained but how did she know what to do?

PS-her potty position is just like DH lol
