The fires are weighing heavy on my mind this morning too. I know 2 people personally that have lost their homes. My mom is currently working about 50 km south of Fort Mcmurray and they are on high alert but still not evacuating. So tragic.
I also just read that 2 babies were born in the evacuation camp. I can't imagine! ETA just saw that someone already mentioned the babies being born.
I stopped to get coffee at DD this morning and I gave into temptation and got a donut too! I really need to be productive at work today so I actually get crap done. Unlike these last two days where I've done the bare minimum, my inbox is suffering as a result of it.
I think someone mentioned this a few weeks ago, but is there any interest in starting a thread and sending some well wishes to the moms on J16? I'm happy to start one but not sure if we'd want it to just be advice, wishes for easy labors and healthy babes? Still too early?
It was @jimbobcooter but I forget what she came up with
ETA- Nevermind she was the one who was talking about starting a thread with our LO's bdays. I forget who was talking about the J16 moms.
tjanca22, I would totally contribute to a thread like that If no one else wants to start it, I will.
I had no idea about the Fort McMurray fire. So scary. Many prayers to everyone dealing with it. We have fire season here in SoCal, and our fires can get very big and very out of control very fast. It's terrifying. Last year we had a fire jump a hill and crest onto a highway in the middle of rush hour traffic. 100's of people had to abandon their cars and run the other direction down the actual highway. Nuts!
3dimesdown we're going to St. Simons. My parents just bought a condo there so my whole family is headed down for the weekend to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. It's a 5 hour drive so not too terrible.
I'm partial to Gulf Coast beaches, but I guess St. Simons is ok too. Without being too creepy, if I'm remembering where you live correctly, you'll probably drive right past my H's hometown... He's from around Macon.
I just got into work. I had a dentist appointment this morning. The hygienist was such a damn chit chatter. It easily took her double the time because she kept stopping working just to talk...all the while I can't say a damn thing cause my mouth is being worked on. That was pure torture for me.
LOL I am so glad to hear this! I feel like most of my patients think I'm a bitch because I don't chit chat once I start working.
LO was sick yesterday (throwing up) so I had to stay home from work. This is the third time he's had some sort of throw-up virus, I don't get why he keeps catching it! Anyway, H is home with the kids today and he says it's going fine.
Our receptionist is out for a week, which means her job defaults to me. BLAH. I don't mind answering phones and forwarding calls but I hate dealing with the other attorney's clients as they come in. I have to fake friendly.

I don't understand why I am the only person in my entire office suite who changes the water bottle. I have been out of the office for 4 days. Guess what I got to do as soon as I got in the morning because someone left it empty?
Hope your throat feels better soon, madymoiselle, and that your LO stops getting bugs, veggiemo.
I feel as if I haven't been around much for the last few days because a) exhaustion, and b) family "discussions" which have been really upsetting. If it had gone on any longer I would probably have typed a huge AW post on the private board, but I think we've all managed to get past it.
Oh, and people on my other BMB keep talking about doughnuts and cake and ice cream and delicious sweet food. Which is giving me food envy because I'm clearly a horrible person. I mean, I knew that being pregnant meant avoiding sweet stuff till Baby arrives. Although the stress of aforementioned family stuff caused me to eat chocolate this afternoon, and I don't even care that there will be a bad number in my blood sugar record for once.
Sorry, I'm obviously having an Alexander day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!
sugarkissed , are a lot of the evacuees headed to your area? Thoughts out to the people you know and the safety of your mom.
I believe that they expect up to 20,000 people to head here! We are rounding up baby stuff and toiletries to bring to the donation collection centres this afternoon. It's pretty surreal. I feel terrible for them, but glad that everyone so far has evacuated in time.
Yes that was me, still 100% up for it but I did not get the impression of a large positive crowd Tagging tjanca22
ETA: Some else had the idea first though
The thought came to me this morning and I remember the idea being mentioned. Then babies decided to turn one today and I remember last May thinking how crazy it was that I would be having a kid the next month. Apparently I'm being sentimental today

Happy First Birthday T! @glider40 +1 to being wrapped up in the devastation in Fort McMurray. I cried watching the footage from families fleeing last night. It looked apocalyptic. I couldn't imagine. H got a call this morning that the union is compiling lists to send guys from here out to provide relief for the firefighters there. Of course he will go, because that's what they do but it's so scary.

Maybe this?
In reality, I would ask someone more familiar with the event for what to wear because it sounds confusing.

I've been to a Denim and Diamonds event that I wore jeans, a nice top, and dressed it up with fancier shoes and jewelry. I've also been to a similar event where the guys were wearing jeans and black ties and the women were wearing legit ball gowns. So. Definitely ask someone that has been before.

Kristykristyleelee my hygienist is the same way! SO chatty!But she does do a really thorough job with the cleaning, but because she is so chatty it takes her like 45 minutes! My jaw is always sore by the end. I think the dentist likes to put you with the same hygienist every time if they are available, so I always get her. I could request someone else probably, but that seems a little overkill.
This post reminded me I need to make my check up appt.
Found it. purple your post made me cry at my desk. Being a mom is giving me lots of feels today.
I nearly cried writing it. But everything is making me cry at the moment, including the fact that it's half past ten and I still have nappies to stuff before I can go to bed!
