Thursday, Not Friday

[penguin129]

but close enough. I kept thinking today was Friday. Alas it is not. How is everyone?

[penguin129]

Our last Mommy and Me class of the year is today. This is our 2nd full year going and I just love the teachers. I have some cards and plan to stop by Ace to pick up flowers for them before class. I'm also going to announce my MOPS group and pass out flyers to the moms. I'm nervous and excited all at the same time.

[fem]

No vomit overnight, yay! Currently holding a sleeping baby while the toddler plays on her tablet.

My only plan so far is more coffee once I can move.

[macaronmama]

penguin129, last days are always bittersweet. GL with the formation of your MOPS group!
fem Glad she is doing better.

Staff meeting and some covering of our desk today, then I'm heading home to telework. DH is apparently not feeling well and still at home. Worried about him and our impending date night - we got tickets for a big event and if he's not up for going out... well, that's an expensive date to miss. Sigh.

DS is full up in the stranger danger zone. I hate seeing his little face crumple when he meets new people and really worried for my dad coming over Memorial Day weekend. He's gonna be bummed if M keeps crying at him.

ALSO - getting a grill for DH for Father's Day, hoping to get a good sale over Memorial Day weekend. I think DH wants a gas grill - any recommendations for someone who lives in a townhouse?

We are driving. It took forever to get on the road. H insisted on taking his crv which did not fit everything. I have a highlander so why we can't just take mine has me 😒🙁🙄🤐

[erien22846]

We have tooth! Just a teeny tiny corner but I'm counting it!

[smallpotato]

penguin129, best of luck with the MOPS group!
fem, so glad she's feeling better.
macaronmama, I think this is the grill my mother has, and she lives in a townhouse. The only downside is that it takes the small propane tanks, so it may be more expensive to get that than the larger one. MH likes Charbroil grills; we're on our second one and replaced a bunch of parts on it last year. Still works great.
@holachica, I hope the next two days go smoothly for you. Also, I hope you're getting some solo time when YH gets home.
becole, safe travels!

The pizza thing last night was okay. By the time we got there, the pizza was cold and there weren't a lot of families there. We did see one girl that N knew from the library, and a little boy from his swim class. He played on the playground for a bit after, and then we came home. Everyone was up today before 6:30. MH is doing laundry and hanging stuff outside to dry because it's going to be warm today. Other than that, no big plans.

[smallpotato]

erien22846, that definitely counts! We're waiting for G's top two teeth to come through; the pedi on Tuesday said it should be any day now.

[erien22846]

So, I've been trying to reduce my coffee intake. Both reg and decaf. I got into a habit of drinking it all day long (switching to decaf after about 10am). I don't care for the break room coffee so I often mix up my own instant coffee/cappuccino.

I just realized one of my flavors is caffeine free! I feel so betrayed. It's no wonder why I felt I needed more coffee to function. I was missing my caffeine!

[sanibel21]

Hot hot hot today! And I'm not complaining. Dd1 is at preschool, dd2 is about to nap, I just cleaned out the guest room for my brothers visit this weekend. And I may dig out some of my scrapbooking stuff. I'm going to inflate the pools for the girls for after nap too. I feel a little less of the monotony today, which I'm grateful for. Hope everyone has a good day!
macaronmama I hope DH feels well enough to go on your date! I woyld warn your dad to take it very slow with DS to let him warm up. The people who have been all over both of my DDs at this age right from the get go, and up on their do-not-like list for awhile.

penguin129 - Have fun and good luck with your group!
fem - Hooray for no vomit!
@holachica - That sucks that he bit his brother. Hopefully he doesn't do it again!
becole - I've come to the conclusion that men have zero common sense about many things. I will never understand the way my own DH's thought process works.
smallpotato - That stinks that the event wasn't better, but at least he got to see a couple of friends and play.
erien22846 - Yah for a tooth!

I'm so annoyed at work already just because of the crap projects I'm working on, and the fact that sales guys sell shit to their clients without actually double-checking to make sure that what they're promising is actually doable. I'm cranky, have a headache, and need to get the eff away from here, so I'm going to get a pedi during lunch. Maybe I'll stop and get ice cream on the way back.

Any proz.ac users here? It is what the dr prescribed for me this morning. The interwebs tell me it's okay (but not ideal) for breastfeeding. Though I'm trying to stop bf'ing anyway, so maybe a non-issue.

macaronmama We have a standard size Weber grill for our townhouse. I'll see if I can find the model online.

[jwinct]

macaronmama - Somehow I skipped over your post. I hope your DH feels better as the day goes on and you don't have to miss your date!! My DS is complete opposite and loves everyone. He will act so silly to strangers just to get them to smile at him and then he gets so excited when they smile and talk to him.

It's supposed to be close to 100 degrees today. I love that it's warm, but that's a little much a little too soon! I bought a new air conditioner yesterday, but DH needs to put it in after work today. I couldn't sleep with our noisy one on last night, so we just put a fan in the window and it was quite warm, but not completely unbearable.

[erien22846]

@holachica hang in there! Solo parenting IS exhausting. I hope your husband returning brings much relief.

I don't have any experience with it iwantbacon, but I do hope it helps. Please Let us know how it's working because I'm looking to try some others. (I know everyone is different but still.)

[macaronmama]

sanibel21, thanks for the advice. I'm sure my dad will take it slow, just bummed because he gets so little time with M.
iwantbacon No experience with Prozac, sorry, but I'm hoping it helps, love.
@holachica Hope DS1 behaves a little better for you tonight.

My commute from work to home took me 90 minutes. At noon. On a Thursday. WTF D.C.

Uh so I saw in the Parenting blinds thread and then skimmed the end of the state of the forum thread... people are moving to scary mommy forums. They're going to try to make BMBs there too...

I just came to see if anyone posted about this. This is kinda crazy. What's everyone here doing?

I really only come here for you guys, so I don't care if it's here or somewhere else.

[smallpotato]

I set up a user name there. I have no problem going back and forth, but I read the entire state of the forum thread, and it's left a bad taste in my mouth.

becole sorry if I missed it, are you going on vacay?

[fem]

I just realized as I'm nursing O before bed that she didn't have any food today. She's 7.5 months, is that bad?

I tried to give her food, but toy know how the first squeeze out of pouches is thicker sometimes? She gagged on that and thew up and I forgot to try again later.

[smallpotato]

I'll still come back if we decide to stay here. I hope we'll get BMBs over there.

[adouces06]

I'm gone for the day, and TCF goes to shit. Yikes. I'll do whatever you guys do. I only come here for you guys anyway!

[sanibel21]

I made a name and posted. But I'll be mostly here with you guys unless mass migration occurs.

[fem]

Yeah I'm good here but will go wherever you guys do. S16 is already on Facebook.

[macaronmama]

Omg. I just went over to the SOTF thread to try to figure out the big-to-do and I died a little inside. So much flaming and anger and pls excuse me while I bury myself in a blanket.

Someone just poke me if we're moving. ;_;

[erien22846]

I'll jump on the bandwagon and do whatever you all do.

Interested to see what transpires in the next of days for the rest of the board, parenting in particular.
