Good Morning!! I have been up since 4:15 and in the office since 6am! The joys of working for an international company and having a conference call with people all over the world! Thanks fully DD slept all night and was still asleep when I left the house.
dmoney Good luck with all your phone conferences today! Hopefully the day flies by because you're so busy.
Thank you!! Call is over and it was a success... I get to do these every Thursday for the next 10 weeks or so. Its nice to be able to talk to my colleagues across the world...Its just EARLY!! Funny thing is I don't know where the main light switch for my section of the building is. So I sat in the semi-dark. Just the one light and the light on my desk on. One of the managers came in and turned the lights on and I was like ohh, the lights weren't on this whole time? I'm just hoping the day flys by so that I don't realize how tired I am come like 3pm!
Good morning! We have been up since 4:30. B hasn't slept good the last few nights and thinks 4:30 is a great time to be awake for the day. I have a meeting with me boss today about going back to work. I won't be going back until the beginning of June but I am already stressing about the transition.
Trying to decide which things to tackle today - yard work? Grocery shopping? Laundry? Responding to emails? Party planning? Start watching Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt?
One thing Im 100% doing is grabbing some wine and sweet treats for myself for this weekend. H leaves tomorrow for a bach party in DC so Im flying solo with the monsters all weekend! Provisions are necessary

Morning! Busy day at work, so hopefully today flies by because it's my Friday Also, I get a bonus lunch date with DS - since my mom had her procedure earlier this week, she had told me she wouldn't feel comfortable watching him today since bending, lifting, etc. on her back. So a family friend is at our house watching him, and I'm stopping by with lunch for them. Happy Thursday!

Back to my storage units today hopefully for the last time before the move! Then packing tonight for our trip to Fairfax. I'm so excited I get to see my two bet friends Its been so hard being back in Pittsburgh this past year and not having them. Also pumped for Scandal tonight, I thought all day yesterday that it was Thursday and got myself all excited.
I got my first two LLR outfits in the mail last night and now I'm really sad that I have to wear a uniform to work. Yesterday was PJ day though, so I guess I can't complain too much.
Thursday is a long day today... no classes, mum can't come round to play with L and give me a break, and H usually works from home for the last hour but can't today, and he's bringing a colleague home for dinner for legitimate but complicated reasons, and he's out this evening! And I can't even caffeine and chocolate to get me through the day!
Morning! Seasonal allergies killing me today. Will finish diaper laundry and depending on the weather and los naps I might.get some yard work done. Hope you all have great days!
My principal at my special needs school just announced that she's retiring. It was a stand up meeting in a classroom which is basically code for bad news. I happened to glance over her shoulder and see the words "am retiring" in her speech about 5 seconds before she said it but I have serious sads. She is so amazing for this program. Plus she was a specialist prior to becoming a principal so she treats us (music, art, pe, swim) amazingly.

mrsmonogrammed Love that bed head! Morning ladies! DD woke up with a snotty nose and screamed her head off the whole time I was showering because she neeeeeeeded me, so today should be fun. We're heading off to story time anyway, then to get some supplies to attempt some lollipop trees for her party.
Today is long for me too. I watch a friend's kid until noon and then swap and go to work until 8 or 9.
So right now I'm sipping coffee and avoiding both of these dudes following me around and pulling on my legs... My friends kid keeps smiling at me and signing "more", so at least he's happy with my laziness!

Morning! I actually got to bed at an almost reasonable hour last night. I must've been worn out from dealing with the stupid at work. We have our music class this morning and I have a friend coming with who has a 6 week old, who is a preemie so he's tiny. After that, we might check out the JBF sale and see if there's anything worth getting there. Then back to work for a 4 to midnight shift.
J was only happy last night if I was holding her. For a long time, transferring to the crib was no go... Long night! Today I'm feeling better, my hands and feet are still splotchy, but don't hurt as much! I'm kind of bummed, because of the hand, foot and mouth thing I'm missing out on DH's staff appreciation dinner tonight. It's a really nice dinner, and he's one of the 10 year honorees. On the other hand, J will go down at 7:30 or so... I will have the house to myself! I'm thinking Netflix and ice cream! Or maybe sleep... Lol.

@stacyct I put on the same damn episode of little Einstein I've been showing him for months - Numbers Nursery. He goes bananas for it and will watch the whole 20 minutes. But I think the repetition has helped because now he anticipates the parts he likes!
Morning everyone! I took a little posting break for awhile but I'm still around! I was spending too much time here so I deleted tapatalk off my phone and only check at work. That has really helped and now I'm feeling better and ready to join back in.
My random: I'm thinking of buying clothesline and pins so I can air dry my laundry this summer. H says there is no way I'll stick with it, but I told him I at least wanted to try. Anyone do this on the regular? Do you just dry sheets and bigger items, or everything including socks/undies?
veggiemo, so glad to see you back! I don't yet, but totally want a clothesline. I'm in the north so it would only be in the summer but a lot of my friends do it all summer. It saves heating the house with the dryer and the clothes smell great!
Good morning. It's cold and rainy today so we are stuck inside. DH's parents left for Hawaii yesterday so we get to dog sit until next Thursday. I have a few things to take care of at the shop so I'll have to head in soon. veggiemo before we moved we used our clothes line all the time. More for DHs clothes and the bigger things- sheets, towels. I never put my socks or jeans on the line because I didn't like the way they felt when it was time to wear them.
sabrinaml, I actually air dry my jeans already, just hang them in my room. If I put them in the dryer they lose their color faster and also shrink in length. They are stiff when I first put them on but it only takes a little bit before they are broken back in again!

I am on a fucking mission today. The fucking garbage truck has come at 5am Monday, Tuesday and today of this week, and woken me and LO up every fucking time. I am doing research to see if they are violating some sort of noise ordinance, but I can't find anything definitive online, so I am going to call the city once they open. Also, the gas station where the truck is picking up was less than fucking helpful. Fucking.

Smoothies are a great breakfast choice for those frazzled mornings…except when you're so frazzled that you forget to blend it…
So, for breakfast I have a glass of ice water, frozen berries, oatmeal and protein powder. Awesome. So, I figured, Ok, I'll swing through McD's. I place my order, pull up to the window and realize that I left my wallet in the diaper bag…that is with the baby at the nanny's. And I have no lunch today, as I was planning on buying lunch. AWESOME

@babybean9 veggiemo I miss my clothes line. I could get 3 loads of laundry on it, and the hot dry Eastern WA wind would dry them in 30 minutes or less. Trick to soft fluffy diapers (or anything) is to dry them for 15 or 20 minutes in the dryer before hanging them.
Also, bought these this morning. Been saving for new boots since. Christmas, and waiting for a good deal. Score!

Just sat through an hour and a half "training" session where the vendor told us nothing except that if we have a problem, we need to call them to fix it. Dude. Send an email. What a waste of my morning.
Are clothes lines uncommon? I don't think I've ever seen a house without one. Tumble dryers are not common over here. We have a washer / dryer, but we hardly ever use the dryer because it makes the clothes smell funny. In the winter we use clothes horses, but line dried is much nicer.
I am completely stunned that some of you dry your nappies in the tumble dryer. Over here the advice is that you must never tumble dry nappies because you'll damage the waterproof layer and affect the absorbency. Most nappy manufacturers include a clause to the effect that you forfeit the warranty by using a tumble dryer.
Also, I don't know what you're doing to your clothes / nappies that they feel rough after air drying. That's never been my experience in almost 39 years of life! I suppose the air quality might be different?
On the few occasions I've experienced tumble dried clothes, the main problem for me has been the smell. Tumble dryers seem to make things smell stale.
