I have been up since 2:30 with my 6 year old who has the stomach bug. DH left for the airport an hour ago and will be back Saturday night. I'm crossing everything that we don't all get sick.
kim22 Oh no! hope it passes quickly and that everyone else stays healthy.
Morning! Caroline is chatting up a storm this morning, it's so sweet. Meanwhile, B sleeps on...I need to go wake him up to start getting ready for preschool.
Our realtor comes at 10; the house looks great, if I do say so myself, and I got flowers potted on the front and back porches at 9:30 last night so those areas feel fresh and springy. I still have a bit of staging I want to do and we have a couple repairs/replacements on the to-do list, but overall I feel pretty good.
Morning! I'll be taking H to preschool and then S & I need to run a couple errands. I realized that I've been slacking on the birthday party front and need to get it together. I don't have much time left 😭
@peachsmama I hope the baby's surgery goes well.
kim22 fx the plague only touches your daughter and skips the rest of you.
Thanks girls, I can't complain. I have listened to all your sick stories all winter and my kids had all been healthy until now. I feel bad because it's conference night at the school I teach in and I have 6 parents coming. They are meeting with 4 of us so I just wrote up notes about each kid for the other teachers to pass on. Thankfully, T's daycare lady is right down the street so I ran him there and my dad is coming in a few minutes to take DS1 to school. DD is passed out on the couch but making little sad moaning noises in her sleep.

Are you in the Jacksonville area? I have a friend who will be looking to buy there around then because of a job transfer.

Hi everyone - just sitting in my office sipping coffee with a ridiculously large blanket scarf around my neck. I'm like a "cozy winter pinterest pin." =P
I hope your daughter feels better soon kim22. That stomach bug is something awful, ugh. Lots of good wishes to Baby C @peachsmama. I am sorry about your aunt guster. is the prognosis good?
Yesterday when I got home, there was a notice that I missed a wine delivery that needs to be signed for. Now that I will be home today, I will be able to get the delivery.
N refused to nurse before bed and had us both in tears. She finally did after a small bottle and I was hopeful that she'd nurse MOTN. Of course she slept the entire night for the first time! Thankfully she nursed just fine this morning, but gave me a scare.
Now at work a whole hour early, had a good morning and not late, but not sure it counts if my boss isn't here to witness it.
Morning! DH was on work calls on and off last night, so I did bedtime duty solo, then slept in the guest room because he sounded like garbage. I wouldn't let him near the kids this morning, he sounded so sick, so it was also solo morning duty. Thankfully Colin was somewhat helpful!
Anyhow I stopped by Starbucks on the way to daycare and now I'm working from home. I've got a hair appointment at noon, the plan is to color it for the first time in my adult life. I'm a bit nervous but given the number of grays I've found in my crown area lately, it's time!

Yep! We are in St John's--it's the top school district in the state so if they have kids I'd definitely recommend taking a look in our area. House aside, feel fee to PM me if they'd like my contact info--happy to answer any questions about the area.
Wow, first time for color JoeLies ! Doing anything fun or just covering the aforementioned grays?
I guess I'm "lucky" with my mousy brown hair that grays haven't been a big issue, despite my 38th birthday coming up quickly. Even now I probably have more fingers than gray hairs, they're just all in one spot. And since and my hair has gotten darker, they're more noticeable. I actually like the color, so I'll probably go for some subtle highlights that will cover or at least mask the grays. I just really don't want it significantly lighter or copper-y.
JoeLies enjoy your hair appt! I just started highlighting mine for the first time last year. I'm glad I could hold off, because $$, time and commitment, but I do love the results.

I'm at the gym. Just trying to burn some calories before I pick the boy up and spend my day on the couch bingeing the news. Because that's how I live my life.
She said she's been busy at work but was going to try and catch up here yesterday. I guess she got busy again.
Hi All!!!
Sorry I did mean to catch up yesterday, but DC called and said Layla might have ringworm, so I had to go pick up and take her to the doc. Spoiler... No ringworm....
I miss you all. Between work and following politics, I've sucked at keeping up here. This afternoon should be slow for me, I'm going to try to catch up so that I know what's going on with everyone.

tgrimes1980, do you have a good dancewear website referral? I got the email for her spring recital and I feel they are overcharging for the "costume" so I'm going to see if I can put the same one together for cheaper.

What is her costume supposed to be? They're usually expensive.
It is just a satin basic leo, and a tutu with sequin trim, but they are charging out the butt for them plus a $2 delivery fee to the dc...even though, that would be the only way to get them. Oh and a plastic tiara clip, which I'm pretty sure I can get at Claire's for $2 instead of the $10 they are charging. I'm cheap. LOL
ETA: plain white tights, $8 each. I can get them at Target for 3/$5. Cat & Jack brand for the win.

What made them think she had ringworm? Lol. Thats random?
They sent me this pic yesterday. I guess cause it's sorta a circle. I took her in just in case, I don't want her excluded. But doc said not ringworm, and prescribed antibiotic cream.
Thanks @peachsmama! Me too, but I wouldn't have been surprised if she had it, kids are gross lol. She licked a pole at the park the other day..... weirdo

Morning!
Seems to be a lot of sickness/bad news/frustration on the board today. Same here. Didn't hear back from that massive interview last week, so thinking I probably didn't get it at this point. And DH was just passed up for a job at work due to office politics/bad communication. Bleh. Off to apply to a few more things...

Morning!
So sorry about your Aunt guster. A hospital bed is not the way to be spending her birthday. I hope she gets answers soon. Also hoping they find the missing girl soon.
Sending Lysol and sleep vibes your way kim22. Hope she recovers and that's the last you see of the stomach virus this week.
Sending sleep vibes your way nam2013. Hoping everything goes well for the little one today @peachsmama. Sending the family Ts&Ps.
