mrsdee1982 That dinner sounds like a dream! I'm a huge Disney fan. Report back please! I had a weird day at work, basically being forced to tell one of my co-workers I'm not planning to come back to my job after this school year (I was planning to resign after the school year ends in 2 weeks). I'm SO happy to have the prospect of being home with DD every day, but it's also tough to give up a job I like. Oh well, I got a Panera gift card for teacher appreciation week (I guess PTs count too!), so at least I don't have to cook tonight!
So this BOGO at chipotle...do you have to show some sort of ID or do they just believe you if you say you're a teacher?
I got a smores frap yesterday at Starbucks and they gave me a free cookie straw. That was the highlight of my day. The rest was just a typical monday.
No plans just yet today. J is playing in his bedroom so I can sit on the couch normally for a change, instead of with my legs up so he can walk back and forth.
This just made me think, people in other countries who don't have graham crackers (and therefore no smores), do you have Starbucks by you? If so, is there a Smores Frappuccino? purple @hazeldublin sammyca
I've only ever had Starbucks in the US so can't answer your question. Starbucks does exist here but most of the stores are closing down - Aussies don't like it.
Those moms sound like fun (insert sarcasm) @jemomma. Sorry you had a rough morning.
Not much going on here today. I think I broke the printer at work trying to print out party invites. Whoops! At least it broke on the second to last invite. Time to find the next printer to use.
I can't decide if I want to wake DD up from her nap or skip swimming lessons. Why is this such a hard choice??
What did you decide to do?
I want to sign M up for his first Gymboree but can't decide which location because one class is 11:30-12:15 and the other is 12:15-1 and his naps always shift.

I decided to let her sleep. She's been sleeping basically all day, so I felt like something was wrong and sure enough when she woke up half an hour ago she had a fever. It doesn't seem to be bothering her, but I'm glad I let her sleep.
Oh, poor baby. I'm glad she slept and hope she feels better.
We went to a playdate this morning and as we were leaving, DD had one of her over the top tantrums. Awesome. Apparently that meant I deserved the side eye from a couple of other moms. The phrase "I would never let my kid..." was uttered. Neat. I suddenly remember why I do not have a lot of female friends.
I'm team do the dishes every day. H always bitches about it, but I think he's finally come around. The house just feels nicer if the kitchen looks ok, no matter what other disasters exist. My child's favorite thing to put in his mouth is a good sock. And I hope DD feels better soon, @imapenguin! Hopefully all that sleep does her some good.

I got some momentum going finally. I got the kids up and dressed, chores done, dinner in the slow cooker (and DS1 even helped, because he wanted sauerkraut so bad), and took all 3 to the farm to watch them fell 2 125+ ft trees near the house. Got T to nap, watered and fertilized all the tomatoes, and went for a short run. Got the kids to the library for Lego Time, checked out books for me, mailed a bill and paid another over the phone. Got home, expecting to see DH mowing the last section of lawn that is so tall it's going to seed. Nope. He actually left work at 2 and is in bed with a migraine. Not that he bothered telling me or anything.

I'm probably the worst dishes-doer in the bunch. In fact I'm starting to think I'm the messiest person here. Sometimes we only REALLY do dishes on the weekend (other than a few here and there to get by).
Also, O didn't take his second nap for the sitter today. She didn't have a real reason just "it didn't happen" even when I pressed... um, ok.... Anyway, bed at 6pm. Hope he sleeps through, since he's been going to bed later than that.
budders, glad to hear LO slept today, and I'll take your kitkat any day!
Was anyone on here from Fort McMurray, Alberta area? If so I hope you have a safe place to go! It's so crazy about the fire I'm reading about. 30k people being evacuated I think??
Yea I was asking about the Alberta girls on the last page too . I know of people up there just working but so far have seen on FB that people are ok or getting out. Have you seen videos or pictures? It's surreal. Theres no other way to describe it.

oh oops I should have read I literally just got home and plan on reading this thread in a bit to catch up. It's so scary!
Oh gosh no worries, I did the same thing as you when I saw how bad it got today, I tagged them before catching up and keep checking in to see if everyone they know is ok!
Hey tiffbot,! We're northern but not that northern, I don't know anyone there but am still watching pretty closely. It's terrifying! Those poor people.

Thank goodness. I know you had mentioned before about your parents being close to some of the fires that have already got going and I was scared this is where they were. So many people I know have or have had shift work up there before so I know how easy it is to be connected to anyone around there at any given time.
Regardless, all my thoughts are with everyone up there right now.
In between yesterday and today, A cut 2 more teeth I wasn't even aware we're close to coming in. So I'm the last week she has cut 5 teeth! Yeesh!
DS went through something similar - it took forever for the bottom two teeth to come in, and then it was a while again before anything, but a week or two ago he cut like, four teeth! Crazy babies.
