Been a little MIA from the boards lately because of work.
I work in technical customer service for software made by my company. The software is used year round, but certain parts of the year it produces reports that have strict timelines and audit requirements for our customers. The main chunk of those deadlines are mid-May through mid-June.
Customer Service is basically insanity during this time - everything is high priority, late night, fix it right now kind of issues. We are one week in and I am already tired of it haha. Just a few more weeks~
I need to go to the grocery store today, that's basically the extent of my exciting plans.
Louie is still recovering and he's making me so sad. His poor little face is a hot mess right now. I'll be happy to have H home tonight so he can BFF with Louie (they're bros) because Lou is starting to get really suspicious of me.

I just bought a huge slice of cake from the grocery store and only ate all the icing. It was so delicious, I'm using the pregnancy card on this one! LOL

My mother in law keeps buying DS gluten-free snacks, crackers, bars, etc. She buys boxes and boxes of it every week and brings it over. Why??? I've tried to say he's not gluten intolerant. It doesn't seem to dissuade her.

Oh man, the "gluten free is healthier!" trend is soooo annoying. I assume that's her logic, anyway so forgive me if it's not.

I wish I knew. I think she does get a bit muddled with all the healthy options. I keep telling her ORGANIC I care about (and nut-free because he can't take nuts to school), but things come home that are gluten-free! soy-free! dairy-free! Who knows. Maybe I'll take another run at her. I don't want to seem ungrateful but I tried one of the gluten-free animal crackers the other day and it tasted like chalk.

Aww, she means well but just doesn't quite get it haha. I mean, it's mostly harmless - minus the chalk bit - except that a lot of GF items have a higher fat content because the ingredients they have to use have higher fat content. Here and there it's not a huge deal you know, but over time I'm sure it can add up.

I haven't been in here for a while. I was too busy reading the State of the Forum thread whenever I had time to TCF. Things have been busy at work. I'm a little sad today because Chris Cornell from Soundgarden passed away last night. No cause has been released yet.

So, I read page 1 of the State of the Forum around when it posted, saw how negative the posts were and decided that thread wasn't for me. Noticed it now had over 100 pages, so I looked at the last page to see if people were still complaining. Now people are talking about switching forums again? My goodness...
I'll just chill over here in my little BMB bubble because the drama looks way too crazy over there lol.
Yeah, update for everyone who has been kind of sort of following the State of the Board thread. Currently a good chunk of posters are testing the waters to see what the Scary Mommy board is like. There are some housekeeping things that we'd like addressed before we fully commit to a move over there. For example, there are no dedicated BMBs, but we are trying to get that added and the admins are working with us on that.
In the meantime, if you'd like to migrate over there too a link for you is: community.scarymommy.com/ Its still on proboards, so that should make things somewhat easy if you decide to migrate. Right now, we are just hanging out on the TTC/Pregnancy board until decisions are made or BMBs are added.
I dont want to pressure anyone into moving, I have no idea what will happen tomorrow or anything like that, I just wanted everyone to know thats whats happening and to give you the information to make your own choices!

Thanks for being the one to share the info, Cythe!
For those who are interested, the forum was easy to add since I already had Tapatalk on my phone. Just search for Scary Mommy in Tapatalk. If you don't have Tapa, you can follow Cythe's link.

Honestly, I have no plans to switch forums. I'm only here for the BMBs, and I'm happy with them. Maybe I'm also biased because I've now shared BMBs with two of the admins, and I like them as people. I'll be bummed if O17 fizzles out for a new forum and miss you guys, but I'm not looking to maintain yet another place to check things lol - I can barely keep up with what I've got already!

I got a call from daycare that DS had an accident and fell and hit his head. When I got there they said that he was walking to sit down, tripped, and fell against the wall. It was swollen at the time and they said he was pale. But when I got there the swelling was gone and his coloring looked fine. He was also acting normal, so I decided not to go to the doctor.
cougarette I hope your DS is ok! I'm never good at making those decisions for doctors or not when my kid is acting fine for me after daycare calls. Hopefully some momma snuggles will heal him right up!
Tomorrow is our last day of school with the kids! I am so ready for summer - and stretchy non-dress-up pants - and sleeping in!!!
