Corian is a solid surface; I feel it's a bit dated but I haven't looked at any lately, yet may have come out with new styles/colors.
You could also take a look at honed granite (as opposed to the shiny/super speckle). It can be really pretty and sophisticated, esp if you do something darker like Absolute Black, or Butterfly or Ubatuba (dark green with blue or gold hints). It has kind of a leathered look, almost, that is really attractive IMO.
wedding once we finally find a house here, we're going to get a play structure just like the green one you posted. V loves going up ladders and down slides, over and over, with the occasional swing break. That looks like a keeper.
DH called my frantically like 5 times in my work meeting. Apparently H got ahold of the oxiclean and scooped a bunch into the sink of her play kitchen. Then S are some. I texted him that I was still in my meeting and directed him to call poison control, and where to find the number. He is no good in emergency situations. Anyways, poison control said that she should be ok, she hasn't vomited or anything.

I've had to call poison control, they're really nice I can't imagine that oxyclean tastes good, S probably didn't eat much, right?
I hope both girls are fine, trtlcrzy. Please don't take offense, but it's a bit of a relief to know that my DH isn't the only useless one in the face of an emergency.

I honestly don't know how much she ate. DH said it looked like she ate a powdered donut around her mouth.

H didn't eat any, just S. So far everyone seems to be fine. Thanks.
From now on I'm just making sandwiches for dinner. I'm tired of cooking only for the big one to pick at it and the little one to straight up refuse it. Grrr
I was so over it tonight that I have Atticus vegan Bologna and cheese slices (didn't even bother to put them in bread), tomatoes, and a slices banana.
trtlcrzy yikes! Poor S. hopefully she didn't eat much.
My sister got into a children's Tylenol (pill) bottle when she was a toddler. My mom took her to the ER and had her stomach pumped bc we weren't sure how many she'd eaten. After all that, what did they find?
She ate one. Maaaybe two. I think she was scarred for life, though, because after that she taught any sort of meds tooth-and-nail.

melaniesue05 that looks good! I made chicken and mushrooms w/mashed potatoes and peas. The chicken and mushrooms had sort if a cream-ish sauce. Mh scraped everything off the chicken and ate that and the potatoes. Cadence managed two bites of chicken that took half an hour to force down.
I feel really immature and pathetic right now. Something happened to me today that I have a very strong opinion on. I really want to talk to someone about it to get my feelings validated but I'm too sacred of not receiving validation that I don't want to tell anyone.
Why do I need validation so badly in the first place? I wish I were a more confident parent, especially today.
There is a guy in one of my vegan groups right now trying to tell us we shouldn't give our kids stuffed animals because it teaches them animals are toys/possessions.
No Dude. Ridiculous.
Can we please just focus on the real, live animals that are being killed and not a Goddamn teddy bear?!

Don't know if it's an option, but I often serve a hot lunch. I'm less tired and have more energy to deal with the kids antics. Dinner is often sandwiches and fruit or oatmeal.
Cadence would probably be fine with it. Mh not so much.

klongoria11 I have the same problem with dinners in my house. I've had to talk to H about how frustrating it is that I get home from work, cook (what I think is a nice dinner) and sit down to eat and Evie fights me, instead choosing a goddamn cheese stick, and H doesn't comment on dinner at all. I don't give a shit if you hated it, but at least say 'thanks for cooking dinner.'
I made E mini corn dogs and mac & cheese last night and she ate the hot dogs out of the breading and no mac & cheese. Should be a 3 year old's dream meal, but not when I make it.
When we were still dating, Pete came home one night and was surprised to find our food was not ready (I usually tried to have everything on the table about 5-10 minutes after he arrived. He says, "what? No dinner?"
I'm sure the look I gave him must have been enough to signal that was unacceptable, because he immediately apologized and said he didn't mean it how it sounded.
Now I get a "thank you for dinner" every single night, even if all I did was make a frozen pizza.
They still say thank you for dinner, even when they didn't like/eat it, which is nice. If mh doesn't say it first, then Cadence always says, "Dad, tell Mommy thank you for dinner!"
Not completely, but probably about 20% of my scalp.
My sister is still really horrified when it comes up.
She was 4, and she saw me freaking the eff out, and she tried to console me by getting my hair and skin off of the rope and bringing it over to me while I was crying hysterically. Needless to say, that made it worse.
I am currently at my in-laws for The Annual Redneck Festival. There is a lot of chaos. Kids running everywhere. We are sleeping in a camper (not enough room in the house for everyone) with apparently no heat (it is DH's aunt's) and woke up freezing our asses off this morning. We just left the "parade" full of shoeless children on ATVs without helmets, baby beauty queens basically hood surfing, sitting on top of cars, monster trucks, riding lawn mowers, etc. M is sad that she can't ride on my in-laws' ATV like her cousins. Sooo, I'm drinking it off as per usual. Busch Light is apparently the beer of the choice at the moment around here, so Busch Light it is. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em, right?! Haha! 😜 I am running in a 5K in the morning, so I guess I can't let go too much.
ggandlee I love redneck festival stories! And you look like you have put in a lot of time working out!
I don't have any great Redneck Festival stories yet. Today has been a fairly low key day. M has eaten pretty much nothing other than ice cream, gummy bears, and candy. C put up an award winning fight against bedtime in the camper. We found a space heater, so hopefully we don't freeze to death tonight. I'm currently outside parked in front of the fire drinking beer while M and her cousins roll around in the dirt, hoping DH eventually realizes that she needs a bath and bedtime.

Thanks! I have been working hard to get my body back. I'm finally back down to my pre- Maggie pregnancy weight, I never did get back down to it before I got pregnant with C.
