Drive by....no more jury duty. Kinda glad, it could turn into a sequestered trial and I'm not up for that. Clothes - Why no boy clothes?? Wish the manufacturers made more. I get a lot of bottoms at Kmart. Cheap and run a little big. I think the brand name is Small Wonder. Commutes-mine is still the suck, hopefully with school ending here the traffic will lighten up a bit. My boss thankfully also gave us each three days to WFH. I get NOTHING done on a WFH day, but we cover eachother that way so it's really like a day off. Crawling - Need to get a baby gate. Not a full crawl yet but he's getting fast!! I have a front foyer that has steps going down, stairs to second floor, a radiator and glass cabinets. Going to get one gate to corral off the whole area in stead of 2 for stairs.
jjh1119 thanks! I'm keeping fingers crossed for a smooth week and good weather. Yuck to the long commute and cold, I hate when its so cold inside you need a sweater but its sweltering outside. A happy medium would be awesome.
jax1182014. Oh no, I hope she feels better quickly. It's the worst when they're sick :-(
singingmama10 they scare me too! Dang fire alarm, that reminds me we need to replace batteries in ours! I hope you enjoyed the beautiful day today with your sister and nephew.
sjp03 thanks! It would definitely have been more stressful if we didn't have a basement. I have the same issue with bottoms, and we are heading into 18month shorts now:-/
zengal thank you I am definitely counting down hours at this point! When I have to drive for work (which is going to be a ton this summer) I listen to audiobooks or NPR it helps to pass the time.
@pizie523 my flexible schedule and working from home are the two main reasons I haven't told my work to stuff it
wildflower810...we are in Michigan and probably not too far from you from the sounds of it! After the first warning expired I went to bed with lo and made my H stay up as well.
ninergirl52 It was scary more so with lo but I've never been a fan of tornadoes after one hit my house several years ago when I was home alone(I wasn't hurt just significant damage to the house). Yay for milestones and sleep!! Send me your sleep secrets! Although co sleeping has greatly improved my sleep.
We are so close to crawling and I am not ready!!
@pizie523 I hate laundry! I folded 6 baskets of clean closes last night that had been sitting around for a varying number of days
jjh1119 oh no I hope they pass with issue! It it turns into a warning you want to be in an internal room away from windows...I have read that in the bathtub or an internal closet is safest if you do not have a basement

Thank you! Yes just learned the difference between a watch and a warning. Paying attention to the weather!
When you emerge from the closet or bathtub jjh1119 let us know you're okay! I remember a while back someone was saying their LO tried to suck on fingers while drinking milk. That is happening now pretty consistently, and it is frustrating!
zengal finger sucking has become a regular thing while nursing here too :-(
he is also now consistently nursing way more at night than during the day since I've been gone so much during the day for work lately (normally WFH 4 days per week) I would say the bulk of his intake is from 7:30pm-7:00AM which is frustrating but not as bad as it could be since I gave into co-sleeping
Tornado watch for my area has been lifted already! We are in for quite a few t storms tonight. We have tons of trees surrounding our house so that means I won't sleep well because I always fear one will fall.
Also, the way liam has been while taking a bottle if I were nursing I feel like this would be the time I would be throwing in the towel. Focus. And eat. The cat will still be there. Your toy will still be there. My hair will still be there and the piece of lint on the floor will still be there when you're done. Just drink! Also he will lean on me then be all oh wait no! I want to sit up! No I wanna lay back! Etc.

We have these problems and I am still nursing. my LO can't sit still.
spiraltheory sanity is hanging on by a thread, but my quality of parenting is definitely on the decline. Besides laundry, the house is trashed and it's not even 8pm and my eyes are closing. Thankfully this is the last business trip for a while, so he says... (There seems to always be a trip popping up unexpectedly so I'm not counting any chickens)
Love hearing of all the milestones being met! John started army crawling 1 week ago, he's now started pulling his self up. Still hasn't figured out sitting up, and he's close to a real crawl (gets on all fours and rocks).
My battle: he has also become fascinated with blowing raspberries/spit bubbles....it's cute until he does it with a mouth full of purée, then he laughs hysterically. I can't not laugh/smile at him. No idea how I'm going to break this habit. I started giving him a bite of stuff he doesn't like after he does it, it didn't seem to make a difference.
jjh1119sjp03 Agree sooooo much with the wiggly kid during mealtime. Just concentrate and eat. Especially in the morning when we are trying to get out the door.
pixie523 I feel asleep with the kid around 8:30 tonight. She woke at 10pm and MH took her. I feel back asleep until 1am. PBJ dinner with a side of pumping at 1am for me.
KMW08 My LO raspberried me over the weekend while eating. I had peaches on my face and I was shocked and she seemed surprised. Oh so not looking forward.
