It's Sunday Randoms

If I keep being a pw I might make member status tonight.

Our realtor told us to lower our asking price to try to get multiple offers and create a bidding war. We got two offers today, but they are both ridiculously low! Like $25,000 under market value.

I want to tell them to fuck off but I need to sell my house so we can move out of state so I have to be nice.

With ds1 we made it to 1 in his infant seat. His was 32" 35lbs. I wanted to wait that long since he was going I have surgery just before his first birthday and it was a comfort/security blanket thing for him. He liked that seat and could fall asleep in it almost instantaneously every time. Then we went to a convertible seat not too long after that. It just depends on your preference. Some start out in convertibles.

@breandmikewedding No, I was too creeped out. I waited until she left and took the note into the owner. There's no reason I should ever have to call a daycare teacher after hours, especially after being given some ripped piece of paper with a note.

I would be curious if she was going to tell you something about the director, owner or center its self. I would have blocked my number and called.

That's where my mind would go too, but I'm kind of paranoid

What is this event you speak of?

Going on currently, I think. Bring in an old used gear item (car seat, stroller, etc) to get a discount on a new one. Great use for that hand me down car seat you didn't really want to put the baby in.

So are there specific items that qualify? Like a carseat would, but not a bouncer?

I worked at a daycare for a year and knew of a lot of cover up shit the owners and director would do. That's why I would hear her out just to see what she wants to tell you.

They have a trade in event right now where you take them an old item and get 25% off a new item. You can even buy something cheap at a garage sale and take it to them.

We got 2 hand me down converter seats and I saw that you can use them to trade in for more than just car seats too. High chairs, furniture, bouncers, etc. I think we are going to trade in the two hand me down car seats for 25% off a new converter car seat and a high chair.

Too bad we won't be ready for a new car seat for a while... :/

I think it's carseats, strollers and pack n plays. There is more info on their website with specifics.

They have this event every few months. I think the last one was around September so there should be another one before you have to get a new carseat.

Oooooo! Now I'm excited!

Ds wanted to wear his underwear so I keep asking him if he needs to go potty. His response: no thank you, mommy.


He's lucky he's so polite since I'm sure I'm going to have to clean up his accident soon.

My dog started limping tonight so I did a good exam on her and found a pretty good sized mass under her scapula. Now I'm scared guess she'll be coming to work with me tomorrow for some testing.

Hopefully just a lipoma?

How do you HCP ladies breath comfortably with face masks? They are a PITA but I don't want to get LO sick

You don't really. You just get used to it eventually. Gum helps.

Dh is the most intoxicated I have ever seen him in the entire time I've known him. I'm dying laughing. He was just standing on one foot pretending to be a flamingo. I totally took advantage of his drunken state.

I just got rid of so many clothes and shoes. It felt great and I don't have any regrets. It's easier to see and find the clothes I like now.

I really need to do this.  I had my closet organized so nicely but now I basically just have all the clothes that fit me at the front of the closet in no particular order.  It's like a mix of maternity, nursing tanks, and random clothes. I don't want to totally get rid of my smaller tops because I think my boobs are going to shrink again when I stop nursing.  So I will probably continue to put this off and not be able to find anything. 

I purposefully got rid of 90% of my bigger stuff, to force me to stick to my diet and fit into my smaller stuff.

I get it, but that's kind of a jerk thing to say when I've already expressed so much worry over what's going on. I'd like to think that a weird lady that worked there for 3 days is more in the wrong than an entire daycare that has had some of the same teachers for 15 years. But thanks, now I'll add something else to my list to worry about.

Bump content is finally getting deleted... But it's going to take 48 hours to do so. Sigh.

I sent Bump Caitlin a PM and my content was gone in 2 minutes. It was soooo weird.

But if you log in within 48 hours your account still exists- it's just "empty".

Yeah I don't know. She said I would have to have my account deleted entirely and in 48 hours I could log back in and reactivate my account. But her message on the BumpHQ board makes it sound if you log in sooner than that, you restart the process of deletion.

I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make you worry more. Just trying to help you find out what is going on. The daycare I worked at would sometimes lie about stupid shit like how much the pizza they ordered for special pizza days was. Other times things were a little more serious.
