Happy Friday, ladies!!
It's been raining for almost the whole week straight! B is dying to get outside! We are making progress in unpacking but hopefully we get a lot more done by Sunday. My mom is here from Florida and she and my grandparents are visiting our new place. Fx it's presentable by then!!! Also opinions wanted. We had a photo wall at our old house I loved, but I decided to put it on a very large wall behind the couch here and added some things. I really like collage-type decorations, (and fffc my whole entire room looked like this as a teenager!) so I like it, but do you think it's too busy? (Some frames don't have pics yet and the one 'F' I have to paint...but the layout?)
reginaphalange3 , I like the idea of the collage-style wall very much! It is hard for me to give an opinion on whether it's too busy without seeing a more zoomed-out view of the room for proportionality. It's really cute but potentially you might want to put a tiny bit more space between each object to draw the eye a bit wider.
Edit to add: I might steal your idea btw for one of the walls in our house!
reginaphalange3 1st, here's the recipe for meatballs. I kept meaning to post it yesterday and I kept forgetting. There's a recipe for sauce too, but the meatball recipe is just for basic meatballs. I use Italian seasoned breadcrumbs and like how it turns out. This last time I lined my pans with foil and then sprayed them with Pam. I was having a hard time with them sticking. www.olgasflavorfactory.com/appetizers/honey-garlic-glazed-meatballs/
As for the wall, I'm jealous! We don't have a good wall to do that in our house. I agree with dashook, I think more space between all of them would even things out a bit more.

reginaphalange3 I would have to agree with dashook! Love it, but maybe a little more spaced out.
Took my little fish to the pool this morning. I planned on putting him down for a nap when we got home, but he seemed full of energy so I decided to push nap until after lunch. He's currently having a grand old time talking and playing with his spaghetti and showing zero signs of slowing down. He's been up since 6:30. I know the crash is coming and I'm scared. Lol
Hopefully he'll take a decent nap and then we can get outside. Hello 70 degrees! Later my friend is coming to babysit and dh and I are having ourselves a date night. Happy Friday ladies!
Hola chicas! Took a vacation day today. Had an appt this morning, all looks well. Happy that dh got to go with me. Although he was like "mmm yes, I see the baby blob". nemomof2 I better not have any bump pics for quite a while!
I'm getting my oil changed and then heading over to a bbq. Days off always go way too fast.

TMI: Poor booface is soo constipated. She's just been pooping teeny hard nuggets for a couple days now. And she's grunting so hard this morning that she's thrown up through her nose several times and then she grabs at her belly/diaper and cries.
I told DH to pick her up some prunes on his way home. Anything else that you guys give your lo's that helps??

dashookashlanticnemomof2 Thanks!!! Yes, especially in this pic I see what you guys are saying. I think Mh might divorce me if I ask him to change then right away so I will have to wait a few weeks, but thanks for the help!! ashlantic hope the long afternoon nap works in your favor! And thanks for the meatball recipe! dashook I love pizza day! One of the main things I miss about working in Friday's...free pizza lunch! ourcrazynavylife so rainy here and so hard to get motivation to do anything! littlelion yay for good appointment and I totally agree!! Days off are like a blink, while the work day drags on and on!!
reginaphalange3 I like it, it looks very warm and happy. I always mean to start decorating and hanging art etc but never find the time. ashlantic I want to take Ch to the pool! Not sure where, though, should look into it.
I'm back at work and catching up but so much to do... Ahhh. Got some good news that I can give up some of my coordination work so I can take on more analytical work. Good step closer to what I want to do long term!
Coming out of lurkdom. What a long week! Kids in my class are crazy. We still have a looooong few weeks together, friends. Not summer yet! LO has been up every single night screaming. I feel like it's teeth and he has a molar coming through. I really don't like giving meds if not necessary, but I also want him to be comfortable and get some sleep. He's been miserable. It's been a long, sleepless three weeks around here. raven I saw your post on yesterday's Randoms. Congratulations!!! littlelion yay for another great appt! ourcrazynavylife anything with a "p" works for us- pears, prunes, peaches, peas, plums. Apple/prune juice if she will drink it. Tons of water, lay off dairy. My LO is alwaysssss constipated, it's the worst. dashook we had parents order us all panera for lunch today at work for teacher appreciation week! I love not eating lunch from home hope you enjoyed your pizza! reginaphalange3 I like how the photo wall looks! ashlantic hope you got a nap in. bkmama0 that's great news about work! Ch is so cute
Hello everyone! Besides being told to fuck off by a student having a temper tantrum (I caught with his phone..again!) My day was good lol. Only 20 more days until summer break! Woo! reginaphalange3 I have a few collage walls in my house! I love them! I know I'm late to the party but I do agree with the other ladies about spacing and I love the Happiness saying! ashlantic enjoy your date night! bkmama0 that's great news! ourcrazynavylife I'm glad she got some relief dashook gotta love free food! Lol We had a parent bring a big pot of chili in today. littlelion I giggled at your DHs response! Please don't take this the wrong way but I automatically pictured this meme when I read that part lol
Took some effing names at work today. I think the place is going to be a better fit than I thought. I finally just spoke up about my impossible co-worker and found out that she's already on thin ice anyway. I'm selfishly relieved.
Came home to a super cranky LO. Trying to turn her mood around before bed. I don't like ending the day on a sour note. I think her teeth are killing her.
ourcrazynavylife we do glycerin suppositories when it gets bad. It's almost immediate relief. And it softens it up so it doesn't hurt her so bad.
reginaphalange3 I'm impressed. I repainted our house last spring and never put anything back up. Lazy.
ashlantic we haven't attempted the pool yet this season. She liked it okay last year but wasn't a huge fan. I hope she likes it more this year. My other kids are fish.
sgio7485 goodness! You guys so deserve a break. I'm sorry it's been so rough. Hope sleep is in your future soon.
kml218 glad to hear the youth are keeping it classy. Sheesh!
reginaphalange3 I love all the pics on the wall! My room looked like that as well, except I had stuff hanging from the ceiling too. I called it "my museum ".
