Snow day Thursday

[wineallthetime]

Hi everyone. Once again L got up like 6 times. I don't know if it's just a growth spurt or catching up after her stomach bug because each time she gets up she guzzles a few ounces. Maybe I'll give her a few more days and then look at some sleep training if it keeps up...

Morning! We got the kids up and ready to go since daycare wasn't closed, but DH decided he didn't want to risk picking them up in a few hours. Fair enough, but it stinks that I'm the one who had to reschedule all my meetings and take another day off. Screw it though, I am going to enjoy my snuggles and encourage the kids to be as loud as possible while DH works upstairs.

Hi there. The snow was a big bust for us. It was a little bit of snow that pretty much turned to rain and now it has totally stopped and we have a sunny day! Cold, but sunny. So normal work day for me.

[heymama]

Hi ladies! Happy snow day to those celebrating! Stay safe! We're going to be in the 80s today, so I can't imagine lots of snow!
slenle, I hope his hand is doing ok and the surgeon visit goes well!
I don't think I ever told you guys (probably since I've been such a bad participant who goes radio silent so often), but we found out awhile back that were having a girl! So, sometime over the next 10-11 weeks, I need to learn the secrets of being a girl mom!

mwhipple77 I haven't looked under the bandage yet, but he seems to be doing great! I was expecting a long night but he actually slept through again! He'll crawl a few feet before it hurts but doesn't seem too bothered.

At work. I have 14 pages of numbers to run, then I need to make a Valentine box for my coworkers son (don't ask), and then cut out and tie the tags to Cadence's superhero mask valentines.
Fun Fun.

Morning! Wish we got snow days!

Hey, mellochello!

[mamabear13]

Morning! Big interview day. It's 3hours this afternoon. Then a follow on phone interview tomorrow morning.

Tonight we are going to a class about Vbacs,
Crazy busy here.

Hey, mellochello!

So far this one is a bust. It's wet snow that isn't sticking yet so I have a 3 yr old dying to play outside but nothing to play in. He also doesn't understand why we can't go to the mall.

ETA: I did just convince dh that we need to nap in shifts. I'm on C duty now while he naps, then it's my turn. Naps are my favorite so I can't wait!

Apparently we're getting it all here. I'd guess we're around 4 inches already with the projected amount going up. YAY.

Re: Valentine discussion yesterday, we don't usually exchange gifts, just cards. Pete always asks what I want but I tell him nothing.
This time I asked him to donate to IRC to sponsor a girl for a year of school.

Just an idea if anyone is still trying to think of something.

Congrats! Girls are so much fun! When is your due date again?

You know what I'm not going to miss for 5 months, MH snoring.

Like, FOR ALL THAT IS HOLY, fix your airway already!

That's right, girl, focus on the positives.

FIL is a terrible snorer. Part of it is that he's overweight, but I'm terrified that this is my future. DH has sworn that if it becomes a problem someday, he will seek help. I probably should've put it in our marriage vows JIC.

[tallblonde]

Enjoy the snow everyone!

N slept until 5!! But apparently J got up twice, but I slept through it. Daycare has a lunch event where a psychology professor/former parent is presenting their new study on media and toddlers, so mh and N are coming for that and then we will grab lunch. Conveniently all 3 boss figures are out today, so 2 hour lunch it is:)

I hope I remember how to work soon..Not exactly productive this week.

[trtlcrzy]

Morning! H is at preschool and S & I are hanging at home. This afternoon we have to stop at H's old daycare to pick up our tax form and then I work tonight. I'm hoping to be able to mop the kitchen during nap time today. I keep saying I want to stop piling stuff on the end of the island in my kitchen but 2 days later it's covered again. So i'm going to put all the stuff away and hopefully I can keep it clear after this.

[LizInFL]

Hi mellochello! Good to see you! How are things?

heymama congrats on the baby girl! It's fun; I'm enjoying having one of each.

Morning! I won't bore y'all with details of our sunny, breezy warm weather...days like today are when I love living in FL the most.

At long last, our kitchen backsplash project begins today. Tile guy is due around lunchtime.

Today is the 50s sock hop at B's preschool, he was so excited, mostly for the ice cream floats they'll be making. All the kids looked so cute in their outfits.

I got an early start and mailed a Valentine package to my cousin/B's favorite babysitter at college, got my car washed and did two loads of laundry. It's probably time for a coffee break, right?

[kim22]

Good morning. We have a snow day. DH is working from home. Some lady got her car stuck in front of my house and left it here so now the plow won't get to us.

I'm spending my day planning vacations.

[yummeecookee]

Congrats on the girl heymama.
And GL on your interview mamabear13!

[cagoldi]

Yay heymama! Congratulations!

It just thundered out! Thunder Snow! ⛈❄️

I heard it too! We're probably at 6+ and it is still coming down fast.

[klongoria11]

Finished the Valentine box. My coworker didn't bring glue, so I had to tape everything.

[xolastunicornxo]

heymama congrats on the girl! I forget, are you in az with me??

mellochello hi!!!!


Thanks for all the good thoughts about my grandma ladies. I talked to her this morning and she doesn't sound good at all. She's obviously on a ton a pain pills, but still in a ton of pain. 😪 she lives in Wyoming and I haven't seen her in about two years, but as soon as she finished the radiation and we have an idea about what's going on I'll be planning a trip to go see her. I'm sad, but I honestly think she's ready. My granddad was the absolute love of her life (like she loved him more than anything, including the kids) and he died about 10 years ago. I don't think she's been truly happy since he went.

Sorry, I don't want to be a downer.

Sending warm thoughts to all the snow storm peeps. I'm currently sitting in my car with all the windows open, and it's suppose to get into the 80s today.

[cagoldi]

Noisy the cricket is moving around a little better. I put his glass jar outside with the lid off so he can go be on his own if he's ready. I'm getting tired of cleaning cricket poop.

Pete was laughing because Dude and I decorated his "house" with a sign that says, "I didn't choose the bug life, the bug life chose me."

I had a baked potato, fries and a small salad for lunch. And a chocolate frosty.. And a coke. BUT I'm working out later. Totally fine.

Questioning the baked potato and fries. It's one or the other for me. I usually choose a baked potato over fries if it's Wendy's though. I'm curious as to why you do both. Please share. Lol

[lahdeedah88]

Be safe in the snow all you NE ladies! Snow days sound fun even though I don't like the cold.

Congrats on a girl! heymama

Good luck on the interviews mamabear13.

Hey mellochello! I thought about you a few weeks ago. Tell us about your Disney trip. Have you gone to visit your mom yet? I hope she is well.

Glad H is doing well today slenle.

[yummeecookee]

Looks great- even with tape klongoria11!

[klongoria11]

Masks are finished too!

[kim22]

The snow has moved on from here. DD opened this braclet making thing she got for Christmas. It says "simple braclet" ages 6 and up. I can't figure it out. I'm sending it to you klongoria11.

[klongoria11]

@peachsmama , nam2013 , isn't there a movie out for that book?

ETA: yep. here it is. trailers.apple.com/trailers/independent/a-man-called-ove/

[JoeLies]

Those masks are amazing, klongoria11!

[lahdeedah88]

Glad all is well Mello!

@peachsmama I see now. I forgot you don't eat meat, too. One day, I'll have to try the fry/ice cream combo. I thought about it the other day when I had my nuggets without honey, but I didn't.

Very cute! klongoria11
