WTF, @jimbobcooter !! Why in the world does he think he needs more money?
Apparently since we came back early he was able to go to his niece's graduation two hours away. We caused him to need extra money for gas to get there when he didn't expect to need it. Ummmm...

@jimbobcooter hell no. Why was he in your bed?! That's creepy. And how exactly did he break that damn seat? The kicker for me though is the smoke. I would send him a bill.....it's hard getting friends to do favors.

It's 11:30 here and I've already had 2 ciders. It's the only way I am getting through these last two packing days. And by packing I mean just throwing the random crap in boxes because thats what were down to. A won't let me get two feet from him and that's if he lets me put him down...
Playgroup and swimming were both fun today. L hasn't seen her friend A for about three weeks, what with my illness and then her family being away. They were delighted to see each other at swimming today. There was lots of shrieking and splashing! We've rearranged the play date that should have been the day I got out of hospital.
I'm getting there. Last week was so busy, and most of this week will be too, so I haven't got as much time to brood. I'm not eating quite so much chocolate, which feels like definite progress!
I'll put a few more details on the private board. Thanks for asking :-)
I am having the hardest time thinking of what to get LO for his first birthday next month. All the popular one year gifts (water table, etc), we got for ds1 and are still in great condition so it makes no sense to buy a second just for the hell of it.
What are you STM's who are in the same boat doing?
I know you cant do this (well you could for DS) but we are getting DD's ears pierced as her birthday gift. We had bought her a baby pool and then her Uncles got her one which is much cuter so we are returning the one we bought.

LO had a bit of a rough start to her night last night, and so I had to go in there and give her some water and ibuprofen and then calm her down. She is not generally a cuddler, but she let me hold he against my body and sway her for a while before I put her back in her crib. So many emotions!
Today is also my double star day, so is husband's, methinks this isn't a coincidence...
@imapenguin We checked it out the last time that we went to the children's museum. It seemed pretty nice. Does it get really crowded? @jimbobcooter WTAF?!? I would rage!! The appointment went well. He screamed bloody murder while she was attaching the electrodes, but then he nursed and watched toy story 3. Now we just had to wait for the results. Fingers crossed!
@jimbobcooter sorry about your H's friend! I would be livid!
michyme123 our suggestions included rocker, wagon, more musical toys, flip open toddler sofa, more Little People... or there is always more books? If I am truly stumped, which happens more often for DD, I just kind of walk around a store and see what is there for ideas.

We had this problem. We got BH an Anywhere Chair from Pottery Barn. LBB has one, but they're personalized, so it makes sense for BH to have his own. Plus he loves sitting in "him sized" chairs, so we know he'll love it.

I got him a couple little plastic tractors, and when people asked what he wanted, I told them 18m-2T clothes. Not everyone asked, and I didn't really care. He just really needed some clothes!

Monday started with arrival of AF (3 days late, damn her), and T having 4, yes 4, epic nasty diapers following having had really bad gas all night. Stupid Monday.
@jimbobcooter So what was you and your H's response when this dude asked for more money??
Also, is he on drugs? Because I'm having a hard time understanding how someone tries to put their expenses on you for attending their own family function. That makes absolutely ZERO sense! I am really annoyed at this guy for you.
michyme123 I forgot his other gift. Its an infant Montessori coin box, you can get it on amazon, its a little pricey for what it is but he loves it and its great for fine motor and object permanence

Been waiting at the doctor for over an hour having hot and cold flashes in the waiting room. Trying to sleep but it's so cold and uncomfortable. I just want to be home in bed
@jimbobcooter I would of been pissed!! Whenever I have house sat before i specifically ask where they would like me to sleep....and I sleep there! We had a dog sitter for Boh over Memorial Day weekend when we were in LA, We dont have a spare bedroom so she had to sleep in our room. But I stripped the bed and made it with clean sheets for her and then had her strip the bed when she left in the AM on Tuesday. When we got home I remade the bed with clean sheet. But if someone tells me not to sleep in their bed you don't do it. Plus, coming home early doesn't mean he gets more money...is he on drugs and if so can he please share??
