We are waiting for the storm to pass then going to a play place. Should be fun, although I'm not sure how much J will play with. I also got a new computer yesterday and finally have all my photos uploaded so I am going through and making photo books for J's party.

@hazeldublin, I like Heidi!
Quiet morning over here... watching my girls fight over B's new Little People set that she got for her birthday. So it begins. DD1 used to be pretty good at sharing, but she's terrible lately!
Today is going to be a busy one. dog grooming appointment, B's shots, and packing for vacation along with preparing for the birthday party. I'm just going to sit and drink my coffee and procrastinate.
Have you ladies heard of the baby name generator app that names your baby based on their kicks?
Official description -
A super simple baby name generator app called Kick to Name.
Kick to Name let's unborn babies kick to choose their own name! Parents, take a load off, and let your baby make the big name decision. And what fun to tell them one day that that they chose their own name!
Open the app to the "Kick" page, choose whether you want a girl name or boy name. Then, place phone face down on mommy’s tummy while baby is active. When a kick is found, the app will sound a chime and display your baby's name choice from a list of thousands. You will have the option to "Add to Favorites" or "Discard" the name given by the baby name generator.
See, the problem with this is that if I ever found out my parents used a freaking app like this to name me, I probably would never trust them again.
But then, I'm old, and have maaaaaybe a dozen apps on my phone, so maybe the jokes on me, and my son is going to think I'm an idiot one day by thinking of a name based on family names when I could have just used a cool app to name him instead.

Yes so much of this going on at my house too. DD has been playing with LO's new toys from his birthday nonstop and doesn't want to share.

Widget123 Oh no... Here I was thinking it would be better after her party since she's only received one gift so far and they both want to play with it. Haha I won't get my hopes up.
@jemomma, I was there a month ago and missed three days of work. Double dose of ibuprofen, heat/ice, rest, and stretch. If you can, go get a massage tomorrow. It will hurt like fucking hell but it helps. And get someone to help with the kids.
I have no classes today. I'm supposed to clean up to check out...and I'm done cleaning and organizing. I have to be here for 5 more hours and my classroom is made of windows so I can't just TCF all day. I have to at least look like I'm pretending to work.
My mother and I are a lot alike but there are some moments that I really say to myself, I really hope I am not turning into this.
Example, I told my mother I would buy my sister bedding for her dorm room as a high school graduation gift. Almost every bedding set my sister suggested my mother rejected, mostly because my mother doesn't like dark colors and wants the bedding to be cheerful.

@hazeldublin Holly goes with Ivy... *tongue in cheek*
@jemomma ice rest etc. Everyone covered it. And lots of movies for the littles.
Thursday started with a low balance email from the bank and a continuation of my sorry right nipple not getting with the program (open wound around nipple now involves blood and pus). Back to no nursing from that side. Payday is tomorrow.
I spent $50 yesterday on 2.5 hrs of babysitting and greenhouse help. Result:

Why does you mom have a say if it's for your sister's room and you are paying?
My mom is in denial that my sister is 18 and thus an adult now. She still thinks she can try to control her life. If I buy my sister bedding my mom doesn't like she is just going to get rid of it, because that is the kind of stuff she did to me when I was my sister's age, regardless of being an "adult". I really don't think I am going to become that kind of crazy when my kids are going off to college, but that is so far from now.
Weather is less terrible today, the baby STTN in HIS bed and he's napping now. I feel like a new person, washed floors and stuffed diapers.
Really contemplating going to Starbucks today since yesterday they managed to forget the syrup in my mocha frappe....it was literally coffee and ice. Thank goodness I was going for a play date and my friend had chocolate syrup to save the day, but I still feel cheated.

BH is worlds of trouble lately. It's a good thing he's so cute.
*He's now able to open the doors at daycare using the handles. DCP tried to block him out by stacking chairs in front of the doors. He pulled the top two chairs off the pile, moved the bottom two, and opened the door.
*Daycare also separates the nappers from the non-nappers by turning some tables on their sides. BH moves the tables until there's enough room for him to crawl through.
*DCP put up a new door and patched the sides. She put up a metal dog fence around it, to keep the kids out. BH moved the fence and started playing with the plaster.
* We keep the dog bowls on top of the washer to keep BH out. This morning he found the giant bag of dog food and managed to open it. I had to fish the pieces out of his mouth.
I have a FB friend who has a Heidi and a Henry. Remember when we used to talk about sib-sets and some people said it didn't matter? This matters, I think it's really lame. Oh and to make matters worse, both the kids' middle and last names start with H as well.
@hazeldublin Agree with @scoop hot chicken on a cold salad is a no-no! I eat grilled chicken salads all of the time and always cool the chicken.
The Charbroiled Chicken Salad at Carl Jr's used to be my go-to until the day that they started putting hot chicken on it instead of having it all chilled. I wrote an email to them and requested that they bring back the chilled chicken LOL

I like when you put hot meat (bacon, chicken, steak) on a salad and the lettuce gets just a little wilty in spots. @hazeldublin we are mind twins today, sorry Kristykristyleelee
I like Heidi Bernadette, and in my opinion Heidi and Ivy aren't too similar.
Aside from names that could be harmful or difficult for the child, such as Asshole (pronounced ash-oh-lee), Shithead (shih-tay-uh) or Lemonjello and Orangello (leh-mon-jeh-low and "oh-rahn-jeh-low), I have no strong feels about what other people name their kids. It may not be what I would choose, but I don't lose sleep or get worked up over matchy names.
And yes, those are all real people, existing in this world.
When I worked for the park district, one site had a Shithead, Lemonjello, Orangello, and a La-a. That's shih-thee-id, same pronunciation you had for the jello kids, and la-dash-a.

This stuff is like urban legend, right? Like everyone knows someone who knows someone with a name like that.

I thought we were rural enough to escape this, but one of our schools (elementary) has a little girl named Felanie. I can't. Like, did they just not say it out loud first?

I need help from some of the older moms. LBB and I were talking about cars this morning. I was trying to remember the first car I wanted when I turned 16. Does anyone remember a car in the early 90s that was jeep-like but not a jeep?
