Why Hello There Tuesday!

[sabrinaml]

Good morning ladies.

[sabrinaml]

C wanted to start his day at 6. Not terrible, but not what this mom wanted either.
A little work, hopefully library time, errands and back home for the day. Or that's my plan now- I'm sure it will change in 2 hours.
@jimbobcooter, I hope you were able to FaceTime P last night.

It's primary election day so no school! I finally get to go to Kindermusik with Owen!!! I am super excited. He loves the class and the teacher is one of my mentors from my teenage years. We'll also rock the vote, go to the grocery store, and hopefully get to the cutesy shops downtown for my Elfster gift. It's supposed to be over 80 degrees today so we might go play at the playground, too.
Here are my random morning thoughts:
-why do I suck at sleeping in? I woke up at 5:45 which is earlier than I ever get up for work.
-why isn't there real news on after 7am? Beyonce is fierce and awesome but I don't care about her twitter war or whatever.
-why are mother's day commercials so damn sappy? They make me want to make more babies this instant.

[pghtruelove]

Super annoyed with SO. He said he would wake up with J this morning so I could sleep in after being awake for almost 24 hours. I come out for a water after he's been with her for 20 mins and he is passed out on the couch and J is in the corner chewing on the lamp cord. So I'm up with her now while he is sleeping.
Anyway, going to vote today and then going through my storage units to figure out what we want to keep for the house and get rid of! I haven't seen this stuff in 10 years so I'm really excited to see it all!

[jillywilly]

I shouldn't have come on here this morning, I've now got all the feels about having another baby. I may or may not have been dealing with baby fever for the last few weeks. H thinks I'm crazy since we literally JUST started sleeping halfway decently. But since me getting pregnant again will probably take another trip to the doctor, I'm probably at least a year out right now. Oh well.
Also, my mom's having surgery this morning. It's nothing major, just removing some basal cell carcinoma, which I know is NBD 99.9% of the time, but still looking forward to hearing everything went well later today. My parents all of a sudden seem to have actually aged, and it's a little unsettling

[mbjune13]

Happy Tuesday! I'm awake drinking coffee while B still sleeps. DH is gone to work so this is my quiet time. Not much planned today, have to clean up the house a bit and run some errands. Hopefully it is nice today and we can get outside. I have a meeting with my boss this week about going to back to work. And I just saw a fucking mouse run across my floor!!!!

By "sleeping" do you mean unconscious because you broke the lamp over his head?

I came out and saw and started yelling at him. He said "I was just resting my eyes. I know what's going on." Oh so you're okay with our child gnawing on a lamp cord. I'm pretty pissed.

[txngrl31]

jessila,y'all get the day off for the primary?? What about for the election? What state are you in? Ok, I'm nerding out here bc I'm wondering if that increases voter participation. Haha

carrots, start prepping the liver now haha

pghtruelove,I'm sorry about your DH. I'd be extremely upset with him too.

@jimbobcooter I hope you got to FaceTime P. Not much longer and you will be home!

jillywilly, I hope all goes well with the removal!

Ugh- I've got to go to the dentist again. This is my fourth week in a row to visit the office, and final cavity to be filled. Apparently. Pregnancy is hard on the teeth. I feel like he messed up something from two weeks ago bc my tooth is still sensitive.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Morning! DD woke up with a small fever (100.5) and was extra cuddly, which made me even more sad to leave her:( I'm 99% sure she's working on tooth #8. Hopefully it comes quickly and gives her a break!

I did stop to get mcdonalds for breakfast because H had a monopoly piece for a free Mcgriddle so at least there's that:)

Lol, I would have dumped the baby right on his chest, said something smartass-y, and went back up to bed. But I'm pasassive aggressive like that when I'm tired;) Definitely would not still be letting him sleep though. My blood is boiling for you, I know J has been giving you a run for your money the past few days:(

[mrsmonogrammed]

Good luck to your mom today jillywilly!

[jessila]

txngrl31 I'm in Maryland. We get primaries and regular election off. Most voting locations are in schools so it would interfere with the school day. I have no idea if it helps with voter turnout. We only get primaries off during presidential election years.

[Bluedaisy]

Hugs jillywilly,! I'd be worried too!

pghtruelove, I would have freaking lost it over that.

Good morning!

Ever since Lo learned to go up the stairs by himself a few days ago, he's trying to climb everything. Yesterday he took a little chair and pushed it toward the couch. I didn't think much of it but all of a sudden he's climbed it and is half way on the couch. So note to self, that chair can go back in ds1's room where it belongs.

Ds1 learned to walk on his first birthday, I have a feeling this one might be a little earlier since apparently he has no fear, yeesh

So often we have the same child. BH's daycare can't even keep chairs in the room because he uses them for climbing. Pushing them under the table is ineffective.

[erbear]

Good luck to your mom, jillywilly!

It's also primary day here, so we're going to vote, then to my doctor's appointment, and then to Gymboree. LO slept like crap and is super whiny, but H let me sleep in a bit before he had to leave, so I'm not a total zombie.

Time to be the grownup. And by "grownup" I mean, draw him new eyebrows with a sharpie.

[sabrinaml]

C finally let me look in his mouth this morning- tooth number 5 is in its way in. Number 4 is not all the way through but close. Guess number 6 shouldn't be too far behind. Still no signs of the top front (central incisors) though.

[jillywilly]

My mom texted me a few minutes ago - all went well and they're on their way home! Thanks for the well wishes

[musicfrk2002]

I have no idea what time J woke up since H took care of him since I didn't even get home until after 1 am. I'm guessing his normal 630 or 645 time, but Mr crankypants is already back in bed for a nap.

Can anyone use a 12m birthday shirt? I bought it last year on clearance and I highly doubt it will fit J in another month and a half. Im hapoy to send to whoever can use it. It looks like this:

[alayne926]

jillywilly, Glad things went well. I had a spot removed on my forehead right before I got pregnant with S. NBD, except since it was close to my eye, I ended up with an awesome black eye.

[holliberry28]

Glad everything went well with your mom jillywilly!

Hoping O adjusts well to DC Joolschweets. I know it's hard but I'm sure he'll be loving playing with all the other babies in no time.

I don't know what's going on with M. He's always crying or fussing or whiny. We've been expecting more teeth to come out for the past two weeks, since we only have the bottom 2, and nothing. I feel bad because we are giving him advil once in the morning and once before bed because he seems to be so uncomfortable. Wish they would come out already.

Well, the love tit phrase really suits you today. J15 "would let you sleep in".

Seriously though, not cool SO.

[txngrl31]

Joolschweets, hugs girl! The transition for mommy and baby is hard. I'm sure he will adjust and be all smiles at pick up in no time. Maybe it was a weird coincidence that he cried before you walking in?

holliberry28, V has been miss cranky pants too. I feel like it's non stop teething with a few good days recently. V only has two too.

Your eyes had to have been closed?

They don't even look similar!

Did you fish out and drink anyways?

They look like this. So similar container size. My eyes were open. Yes I drank the coffee. It didn't taste that bad. If it was salt I would have thrown it out.

[pghtruelove]

@jemomma fx for no tornados. I want a thunderstorm! I love them!

Did you guys see Chrissy Teagan getting hated on(again) for going out to dinner a week after her baby was born. People really love to hate on her.

[tiffbot]

Morning!

Every once in awhile my kids go through phases at the same time where they both just start seeming way older suddenly. Right now it's DS adding 'definitely' to his vocabulary (the other day he stated "we are definitely at great grandma's" when we went to her house), and today he's walking around going "Hmm..should I go this way, or that way" (I've never heard him process his decisions before!).

DD is almost exclusively walking now instead of crawling, and yesterday she came up to me while blowing bubbles outside and sat beside me blowing the air beside me.

Plus I'm at the point of saying they are "almost 1 and 3" when people ask. 1 and 3! Gah!

[tiffbot]

And for a completely non baby random, for the Ladies Night this weekend one of the tasks I gave myself was finding music for the cocktail hour/supper period. I suggested finding instrumental versions of new popular songs and everyone thought that was a cool idea. I ended up finding this band called "Simply Three" and downloaded a bunch of their music. I just have this new obsession with watching their videos and how they represent the song and they just look like they are having so much fun doing it! I love it!

[tjanca22]

@imapenguin, if bad things happen in threes, you should be good for the day.
Morning! E had his follow up appt after being discharged last week and it sounds like his ear infection is gone. He threw up last night and again this morning, so apparently he's trying to make his way through all of the illnesses in a week. Maybe next month will be a healthier month in our house.
