Marching Weekend

[bethypoo83]

Not marching but sending alllll the good vibes and solidarity to those who are!

I'm on solo parenting duty today. DH is supposed to be home before dinner. Likely J and I will just get the usual errands done.

No marching here either. Also solo parenting all day. We have warmer weather than expected for this time of year, so hoping to spend some time outside and get some walking in (come on labor). Sadly everything is just melting and gross.

Also have to get some cleaning in. I know once I start it will turn into a whole day organizing and scrubbing mess. I did the same thing last weekend. If only I always felt such a strong nesting urge. And if only K wouldn't destroy each and every room.

I am trying to convince MH to stay home with G so I can go to the one in NYC. I was going to go to DC but his schedule changed and he won't be off tomorrow so that I can stay the night on DC.

I caught the cold H had. To help he opened all the windows last night. Really cold air on sore throats and tired lungs doesn't help, dude.

But it's goregous and unseasonably warm so hoping to get my sick butt out to do something today.

I'm on my way to the one in Greensboro right now. I really wish I could be in DC but i am really excited to be participating locally. The downside is that my poor baby came down with a fever last night - 103.3 and was super miserable this morning. I left her with MH who made feel guilty about leaving her:/

It's 60 degrees and sunny. It is January, right?

[elephantastic]

We marched!

[linny12]

Sudafed makes me feel drunk. H thought that I was when i called him on the phone. I miss alcohol. Also h may have to come get me.

And I got new sunglasses. I really like them guys!

Wheeeee!!!

[linny12]

My tire is getting fixed. I love the smell of new tires. And shoes.

I wish I worked at a shoe store. It's my favorite smell.

Don't drive home.

I wanted to march in St. Paul with the kid, but she's still recovering from pneumonia so I don't want to risk it.

Also, I think I'm sick and not sure I could march.

[linny12]

H is coming to get me

[theroar]

I'm bummed I'm not marching because of stupid risk of delayed bleeding, but I'm happy to see some of you guys in the streets! I am meal planning while D and A get their Duplo on.

[marygracerich]

Can I just say that some of the posters that people made for the March are amazing. I am watching videos from the March in Manhattan and it's making me smile and even cracking up a few times.

[bethypoo83]

DH is on his way home and I'm about to start dinner prep.

Loved seeing the coverage of all the marches today!

[sallyskellington]

Wish I could have a marched today, my area is filled with tons of trump supporters so that's the worst. X has his second ear infection since gettin tubes is, wondering what else the ent can do to help?! Are we just doomed.

Hey ladies! Hope you're all enjoying your Saturday!

I'm gathering things for a big consignment sale happening in my area in march. I have a Boba wrap that I've never used, but it's out of the box. I do have the instructions though. It retails for $40. What do y'all think is a fair price to sell it for?

[laur1020]

elephantastic E looks just like you! All our babies are getting so big!

Three out of the five kids at daycare last week have pneumonia.

Now I'm sitting here a hot mess hoping C's cold does not turn into that!

Yikes! I'd be worried too. Hope C doesn't get it.

TY. They aren't babies, they are little kids

[robotpcr]

Hi! I marched in DC! I am so destroyed. Everything hurts from standing and walking and screaming for hours but it was incredible. I am eating pizza and then soon a long hot shower and bed.

[robotpcr]

And DH taught M to say protest while I was gone

Did you sort out the thermostat issue at night with him?

No, W and I spend weekends at my parents. During the week he uses the furnace now.

It's 65 today so we're ok without. I will not let him open the windows tonight though.

[linny12]

@nevertoomanyshoes, you and I both. He has his quirks, that's for sure.

linny12 Forgive me for prying but what do your parents think about this?

They're upset that it's happening. They love him, but they aren't happy right now.

He gets it from his mom, and they see that. Like when I joined a gym she asked if I could go there just to shower to save on our water bill... so H has only known to be extremely frugal.

I think my mom kinda likes having me home though, and not going to lie, I look forward to it too. She's my best friend, we have a lot of fun.

[linny12]

Also my H is always hot, and I'm a freeze baby. A room being 52 at night is comfortable to him, so he doesn't understand that we're cold.
