I made a skirt for dd today, and picked up a few new fabrics to make a few more. I am super excited. It turned out soo cute! Only downfall is I am not sure if Ill be able to make more this week as I have to bake a shit ton of pies, cookies, and treats for a bake sale this Saturday.
I don't have to be back at work until March 2. I am very excited about this!
Nice! What do you do again?
I work in a pediatric neurologists office. The Dr. I work for is in private practice and he takes a lot of time off, so I get to be off too. I am lucky in that I don't HAVE have to work with what DH does, it's just kind of a posh job and I'm not there that much so it would be silly to give it up. Sometimes getting out of the house is a good thing in my book
Retail is so much harder when you are the owner/seller/advertiser/cashier.
I just don't get our local kids selling group. One day they buy me out of infinity scarves and ignore my ponchos. Now they are buying up the ponchos and ignoring the infinity scarves....LOL

Oh that's right. I think I remember you expressing interest in D's issues before the "great migration"...lol
She was all better and then early this morning she threw up all over her bed and then all over the kitchen floor. And last night the cat threw up all over our bed. DD2 hasn't thrown up but she has diarrhea. It has been a day. At least the floors are mopped and the sheets are all clean. Upside to everything, I guess.
And my car is being a butt. It left DH stranded at midnight last night, and he had the carseats so I couldn't go get him. It finally started, thank God.

Oh boy. Sounds like you have you hands full. Sorry for all the sickies. Hope everyone is feeling better soon

Lol, glad you are getting some traffic though. That's great.
I don't know if lee81 came over, but I don't think she is too far. I think PA Mom knows a little better where everyone is located. It's a bit of a trip for azieber, Am I close in guessing about 6 hours?
Edited to be English. Words are hard this morning.
For those of you using daycare, how far away is it from your job/your H's job? I'm growing more and more unhappy and uncomfortable with the daycare Declan is in and I'm looking to switch. The daycare he is in now is on the road I take to work about a half a mile from my office so it's great, but also means drop off and pickup is on me. H works about 30 min north of the apartment and I work 30 min south. Ideally I would like to put him in a daycare closer to home so we can share duties and also in the event I don't have to work or am sick, I can drop him off without having to drive an hour. Is that too far away? I'm torn as to if its better to be close so I can get him if there is an emergency or if it's better to be close to home.
deeds1017, lia1303 Lee81 lives in Reading. If we pick a date, I can ask some of the other PA/NJ bumpies if they want to go on facebook or PM them. Up to you guys though. There are a lot of bumpies near Philly

B's daycare is about 10 minutes from our house without traffic and about 20 minutes with traffic and about 15 minutes from where I work. That way the days DH works from home he drops her off. I also had better luck with care.com and a private certified babysitter rather than a daycare center. Just throwing that out as another option. A lot of at home daycares are former teachers and they end up doing lessons like a regular daycare anyway.
Ladies, I need your input. Would you bring your LOs to a funeral?
I don't plan on bringing O up to the casket, if we go, but I'm a little uneasy about bringing her around the departed. What are your thoughts?
I took dd to the showing at the funeral home with me both days my grandmother was being shown. She did not go to the actual service with me though. She was not even a year old yet, but still was walking around and whatnot. I really don't remember if I took her up with me to the casket, but I am pretty sure I did at one point or another since we were there for so long.

So sorry! When it rains, it pours right? Hope you catch a break soon! ((hugs))

I brought D to my great uncles funeral because we had to travel. I didn't bring him up to the casket though. I think it lightened the mood because everyone loves a baby. He was I think 7 or 8 months at the time. Now I'm not sure because he doesn't want to be held or sit still, just run around like a crazy person. If it was family, probably. But if it is an acquaintance or an obligatory respect thing I would probably leave her home.

Our daycare is 3 minutes from our house and about 5 from my job. DH was 45 minutes from daycare so everything fell on me, but my job is much more flexible than his was anyway.
I think in your case, I'd lean towards something closer to home since it's both of your starting points, and all the reasons you mentioned. Plus, in the event of an emergency, both/either of you could get to him.
Did something happen at daycare?
Nothing major, but it's been a lot of little things that have added up to me really wanting to find some place else. I also have recently noticed they don't seem to take his allergies very seriously and that makes me uncomfortable. Then this morning I got reprimanded by the teacher and I was just done. I called DH crying because I was so angry. His old place they were so loving and kind. They used to hug him, tell him they love him, etc. This place is not like that and I thought my uneasiness was because of that. I tried telling myself that it's not the norm and I shouldn't expect it. Especially since the other place had him since he was 3 months so of course they are more affectionate. But I'm starting to think it's more than that.

With D, because she was kept by mainly family, she went to quite a few funerals. Everyone was always happy to see her. N went to my great uncle's funeral, he was in the Ergo when I went to the casket.

If you feel uncomfortable, I would find another daycare. When D was in daycare, I LOVED her daycare so much that I drove 30 minutes out of my way to keep her there. The only reason I left is because she started pre-k with the school district.
