Monday Mumbles & Munchies

[dreemkin]

May is half over; can you believe it? What's going on this Monday for you?

Bonus QOTD: what's you favorite munchie or snack?

[dreemkin]

Last day of work. I'm nervous. However, I'm happy to not have to wake up at 4:45am on a regular basis anymore!!

Bonus: probably chips (barbecue or original lays are my fav)

I'm excited for you dreemkin! I hope you have a good last day.

I'm having a slow Monday here. Almost all of my co-workers are out on site or at a conference so the office is almost empty. Normally I like it because I can actually get some work done, but today I have zero motivation for anything.

QOTD: Well, all I ever eat is chocolate... But I really love pop corn as well!

dreemkin have an awesome last day! How exciting!

We're just headed to library today. Then I'd like to see if I can find DD some cotton pj's. She mostly has the warm fleece ones now so we'll need something lighter for summer. Although it did snow on and off here yesterday so who knows if we'll even get a summer!

Hmm favorite munchies. This is hard. I'm such a snacker. Chips, chocolate, taco dip, cheese puffs. You name it and I'll probably snack on it lol.

Sleep!! It's been a long weekend. Crazy busy at work. I thought it would never end. DD spent the weekend with MIL so she's going to drop her off when I wake up. Then lazy day around here.

GTKY-chips and salsa!

Have a good last day dreemkin!

I have more meetings than I thought I did today, at least it should make the day go by faster. At the mall yesterday we ended up buying DD a little shopping cart. She's been playing with our canned goods and I thought she might like having a little grocery cart to load up and push around, but I wasn't sure if she's old enough for that kind of play - well she spent most of yesterday afternoon "shopping" with the fake groceries that came with the cart - lining them on the coffee table, putting them in the cart, even had her sock monkey riding in the front of the cart.

QOTD - cookies. I don't snack much but when I do I want something sweet. So either cookies or a yogurt.

dreemkin have a great last day at work!
tortor4 snow?? Unacceptable!
dmorgendorffer that's so cute. Amazing how our babies are actually little kids in so many ways.

[lilyelayne]

Vacation recovery today, so that'll probably look like laundry and cleaning. Or maybe just hanging out with DS. It's FIL's birthday so I'm sure we're eating supper with them. I actually can't goof off too much because Thursday I'm visiting my grandma and Friday we leave town again, so I only have 3 days to get everything at the house done and re-pack.

Work today and my allergies are making me miserable! And I think on top of his ear infections, V may be staying to cut his canines. Poor kid was whimpering in his sleep last night, and when I went to go in to him, he kept on putting his finger to his gums.

I also need to figure out my work schedule, I need to move things around so I can go to a birthday party of a friend's daughter. We used to be really close but have grown apart after we each got married around the same time. After the wedding, seeing people that used to be a huge part of my life that I never see any more, makes me want to put more effort towards beyond social.

[kartish]

seamonster, how is your LO sound today?

dmorgendorffer where did you get the shopping cart? That sounds so cute!

QOTD: I love snacking on cheesy crackers if savory, cookies if sweet.

Eta wrong tag, opps!

[tortor4]

kartish that was dmorgendorffer who mentioned the shopping cart! But I'm curious too because with how C is playing with her kitchen I bet she'd love a shopping cart and groceries too!

[seamonster]

kartish Still sick, but thanks for asking. H wants me to take him to the doctor, but I know they're just going to tell me it's a virus and keep pushing fluids and trying to get him to eat. Which is what they told me over the phone when I called to ask if there was anything else we should be giving him. He's on the mend but another 2-5 days of this isn't unexpected. Hoping it's not 5.


GTKY : give me all the snacks. Chocolate, cookies, and chips and salsa are my favorites.

Oops! But see, I remembered the cuteness! I'm jealous of your tiny kitchen too! Which one did you get, I've been looking at the ikea one and some others on amazon, I think V would have fun with one.

[tortor4]

It was a gift but I just found it on Amazon. It's adorable. I really didn't think C was going to get it like she does but apparently all she seems me do is clean the kitchen and cook all day lol!

I do like the shopping cart idea. A few stores have them in store here and I've been thinking about seeing if DS would want to push it around. His favorite task is laundry and he loves to push the hamper to the kitchen for laundry and push it back to the bedroom.

kartish I hope you get to reconnect with your friend. Pregnancy/having kids helped me reconnect with my childhood BFF and it's been such a blessing.

[dmorgendorffer]

kartish We got the one from Pottery Barn Kids, we happened to be in there and she started pushing it all over the store like a maniac. I think there are some on Amazon too, but annoyingly the "pretend groceries" don't seem to be included with any and since the ones we bought at PBK are cardboard I'd say they are probably not worth it.

I think ikea has one as well.

We have a metal Melissa and Doug shopping cart. Looks like a mini real one!

We go to a play center that has these. They have a whole 'grocery store'. You can even scan your items out at the checkout which beeps when you scan it lol. The kiddos love it!

Happy last day!

More house hunting today. We found a house we really like but it's farther north then we wanted to go. This is basically adding to my commute only. We are moving closer to DH's work and farther than mine which sucks. But I do recognize that if we want the type of house we want then it means moving to a different area.

I had a cluster fuck at work today. I'm kicking myself in the ass for not just refusing a file but instead left the door open for things that will drag on for months. I thought it odd that this woman wanted to hold her baby through the whole interview but I see it was to distract me...and it worked!

This was my favorite thing at the children's museum in NoLa when I was a kid. I still remember when the grocery installed the first self check outs; my grandma specifically took me to the grocery with her so I could ring up groceries for real, just like I'd done as a little kid.
