Ugh. Do you have Monday off?

I actually never work Monday's (I work Wed-Fri typically), but for working tomorrow I'm comping next Friday

Morning. L decided to get up at 5 so I'm exhausted. I'm limiting caffeine and rreally missing it right now. Sitting on the couch watching superwhy.

Hi friends. Hoping it's a quick work day so that I can coast into my 3day weekend. One of the recruiting firms I work with is brining Panera to our meeting this morning. It's the little things, folks!

[yummeecookee]

Ouch wedding. How are you supposed to treat that?

[trtlcrzy]

Happy Friday the 13th! It's snowing here, very lightly. I'm not sure what we will do today, but this evening my friend is having an open house for her new lularoe business. I'm planning to go see what's up and use my credit.

I hope your eye heals quickly wedding

Stay safe lfigge, Sunny41, mwhipple77, and @peachsmama

I'm just killing time before my Brazilian wax. I'm in desperate need, lol.

Freezing rain should hit us in about 2hrs so mh and I will both work from home and tag team E since we can't risk taking him to dc. mwhipple77 lfigge did it hit you yet? Yesterday they were saying non but now looks like 9am.

Yep, it hit sometime overnight or early morning. I went out to put wood in our furnace and it was slicker than snot. I had to step gently on the porch steps and the wood was iced over and frozen together so I had to beat on it with a splitting mal to break it up and put it in the fire. But we won't be going anywhere today so we are just going to have a lazy day in the house.

I just have to highlight the fact that you said "slicker than snot". It reminds me of my grandpa.

Welp, Cadence wet the bed. Apparently that's what you do when you've been dry every morning through 2-3 packs of pullups. Your first night in panties, you wet the bed.

She told me this morning, "We just need to buy a new pack of pullups, Mom."
Fine.

[klongoria11]

It's pajama day at school. All the kids were just lined up getting their picture taken. Cutest thing ever!

[tallblonde]

Morning. Hope the storm isn't too bad for everyone, it looks like we will get it tomorrow, gross.

My mom was going to come over and go to lunch and take home some bins of J's clothes, but she has a fever so that is off.

[73jewels]

@gustergirl - she starts kindergarten in a year? For us the cut off is October 1 so we have 2 more years of preschool before kindergarten.

[JoeLies]

I'm so glad C slept so well, wedding! I'm sorry about your eye though, that sounds so disturbing.

[LizInFL]

Morning!

On the road...first car trip as a family of 4.

Send liquor. Hard liquor.

I just checked the weather channel for the radar and an update on when to expect it to start. There's nothing on the radar anywhere close to KC. The highest % chance all day it shows is 15%. It will be crazy if we get nothing today and the schools all closed for no reason.

That has happened here before. I think last winter, actually. They closed the schools because a big storm was coming and it never really got bad at all.

[JoeLies]

Morning! I woke up to 50+ degree weather, yet it's now in the high 30s. So weird.

We don't have much going on this weekend and I'm the only one off on Monday, which I'm selfishly excited about. I'll probably just go for a long run and do some reading, but time to myself sounds like heaven right now.

guster how is josie doing with school?

Wonderfully, thank you! I think she was ready to go back in November, but the director really wanted her to have the consistency of a few weeks without time off. We actually have to register for next year this coming week. It's amazing to think that will be her last year before kindergarten.

So glad she likes it!

When is the cutoff for k in your state? In MD they need to be 5 by September, so we have 2 full school years left..I'm glad he will be one of the older kids, but not thrilled about an extra year of Pre-K.

Maryland does this all.the.time. They either close and nothing happens or keep them open and it's a mess.

This area is somewhere around December 15. I think I would have the option to hold her back if her preschool teachers and we don't feel that she's ready.

That's funny - if I recall we live pretty close to each other. It's interesting how it doiffers

ETA: I do think about enrolling her in a private kindergarten for a half-day when she's 4c and then starting the public school in either kindergarten or first – whatever best fits her academic and emotional/social level - when she's 5.

I think we will probably do something similar to your ETA. We will probably do three half days again next year and I just don't think he will be ready to transition to K the next year. It's too big of a change.

[LizInFL]

School cutoff here is Sept 1, so if we were staying B would do another year of preschool (3's class), then VPK at his preschool (voluntary pre-K) then start kindergarten when he's 5-turning-6.

I believe its the same in Virginia but maybe someone in the DMV can confirm. He will do his first semester of K there before we move again.

[wineallthetime]

klongoria11, you'd be proud of me. I took note that it's bring your favorite hat day at daycare and actually SENT A HAT with him

wedding, I'm sorry about your eye. Not sure all what's going on with it cause I had to stop reading. Eye stuff makes me queasy.

LizInFL, safe travels!

Thoughts: my best friend is having a girl. I brought her all of Josie's clothes and she took the things that she wanted. I still have bins full of clothes from preemie to 12 months. I've pulled everything that I think is sentimental, and now I have these left.
My sister-in-law will definitely have more kids. Do I save these for her in case she has a girl or do I donate?

I struggle with this--hanging onto things for possible outcomes. I'd probably donate, unless you know they are currently TTC and/or just have unlimited space to keep it all. Maybe save a few cute things for her if you're inclined.

Right now I've saved just about everything for my sister, but she and BIL are actively TTC. If they weren't, I'd probably save a few things for her, or let her look through and pick what she might want, and get rid of the rest. I'm also saving gear for her, but am going to see if I can leave all that at my parents' when we move if she's not pregnant yet.

[klongoria11]

Cadence will have melaniesue05's Millie to hang with, so I'm ok with the age cutoff now. Before, I was looking into private school options, but they have the same age cutoff.

Thanks. Maybe I'll compromise and whittle it down to one container of things I think she would like.

That's a good idea. Then maybe next time you see her you can give them to her and she can store them?

[tallblonde]

I currently have mixed feelings on hand me downs. Mostly because I currently have a ton and feel like I'm swimming in them and am overwhelmed trying to keep track of everything. My sister very sweetly sent everything up that she was ever given for her daughter, including hand me downs she was given.. and then we were gifted stuff, and then I want to buy some stuff too.

guster When will you see her next? Can she pick out what she wants and donate the rest?

My sis is getting her boy stuff ready to sell. She offered to save it for me in case we have a third that is a boy...But I said to go ahead and sell it since we have all of J's stuff and that's a big IF, so may as well sell it.

I'm kicking myself for suggesting doing the 7 minute workout daily at work. After 4 glasses and of wine and multiple beers last night, I wasn't feeling up to it. I tried to use the excuse that I was sore from the two workouts we did and running 2.5 miles, but no one would let me skip it. Abs, when feeling like crap from too much alcohol, makes me feel like shit.

That sounds miserable. Is your office super casual? I would love to work out at work, but even though I am pretty casual at the office, I DNW to do an work in skinny jeans or get my work clothes sweaty.

[klongoria11]

I feel our office needs the dc's rule of 24 hours fever free. Partner who was out yesterday with a fever of 102 is back today....dude, you're not better!

I would ask her if she wants it. If the answer is yes, I'd either ship it to her or give it to her the next time you see her.
