Well my allergies are keeping me up and I just noticed that it's 12:03 so I figured I start our new randoms thread. Yesterday lo had a blast at the birthday party and today my mom and I are going to get a bunch of stuff done for his party. That's about all that's going on with me.
Hayley woke up at 5 AM today. Why do you hate us, child? We're supposed to be going to the zoo at 9, so I put her down for nap just now. Well instead of napping, she's rolling around her crib whacking her stuffed animals and talking to herself. This is going to be a long, hot day if she doesn't sleep before we go! And my mom is coming with us, which means I have to get through a second full day with her this week. I'm about at my mom-limit after Monday, but my sister is going to come be the buffer so hopefully that will help.
Morning! We're going to the children's museum today and then target. I was going to take LO to a splash pad, but I need to figure out the logistics of it first.
My h suggested I get a pedicure this weekend. I'm soooo tempted even though I know we should be in save mode.
Owen let me sleep until 7! It's the latest I've slept this summer.
Today I will mow the grass during his first nap. Then we're actually really going to go to Costco. This is the third time since my break started I said we were going. But really, today's the day. And we're going to go to the bank to pay an $0.08 charge. We have a home equity loan we used to pay the difference to sell our townhouse. We paid it off in March. There was a $0.15 interest charge in April. Our bank (different from the loan bank) wouldn't send a payment for that small and never notified us that the payment was not sent. So we got a late charge. Paid that bill for $23.something. Yesterday we got another bill from loan bank for 8 effing cents. So instead of having H take care of it, O and I will go. Of course there is no drive through at this bank so I'll make my struggle seem real to pay their 8 cents.

Also, I'm so jealous of everyone's splash pad. These don't exist near me.

We have LOs 1 year appt today! Excited to see how much she has grown! Also have to finish packing for the lake today! Oh and the best thing... We have a cleaning service coming today! I never thought I would be so excited for someone to come vacuum my floors and clean my bathroom.

I don't know how close you are to Fairfax but there is on in Ffx Corner! Also one in Reston!
Morning! Last day of the month, so the workday should be busy and go by relatively quickly for me. At least, that's what I'm hoping for - last day to get through before a four-day weekend for me!
Good morning!! Getting ready to drop C off with MIL so she can spend time with him before they leave in an Alaskan cruise. While she has C I'm going to breakfast and getting a pedicure with my mom who is also going on vacation. After that who knows. DH made a point about asking if I was going into work, so it sounds like I probably should. Oh I almost forgot, a friend of mine is hosting a LLR launch party this evening, so I'll head to that right when it starts. First pick on LLR and I can get home with anything before DH gets home. I know he would frown upon me buying much since we're working on building our savings account back up.
Headed down to my friends lake house for the long weekend. Just me and the kids, H will meet us Friday after work. Cooper is good for about 30-45 minutes in the car before he demands to be taken out, its a 3 hour drive #jesustakethewheel

We closed a credit card last year, but overpaid the last payment by accident, so now they keep sending us monthly balances for -$0.16. I don't know how they can get away with that. Lord knows if the situation was reversed and we didn't pay them 16 cents we owed they'd probably have repossessed our house by now.
Do you all have long weekends coming up? Not jealous at all. Nope.
Poor L has bright red, swollen thighs and has been either asleep or sobbing nearly all day. It's nearly two o'clock so if she doesn't wake up soon I'm going to have to go foraging for food without disturbing her. I can't put her down because she screams when I try and sobs heartbrokenly if I move in the wrong way.
The positives are: 1) Vaccines will keep her safe, and 2) No more till she's three years and four months old! Hurrah!

Morning everyone I made it home right about 10 pm last night after a quick target stop for diaper cream and pretty much went straight to bed, so I actually managed a full 8 hours of sleep.
I don't think we have anything planned today yet. I need to renew my license plates since they expire today. I just need to find the code they sent in my email.
I had some kind of awful stomach thing this morning, but it seems to be over now... Still not going to work, because no thank you to stomach problems in a work bathroom + trying to drive 40 minutes home in case it comes back.
My mom got MM while I was sick, so I'll probably just take a nap and clean the house and pray I stay feeling ok.

purple are they still red and swollen? Does she always have a similar reaction to vaccinations? Having the redness and swelling still, several hours after the injection would have me worried she was having a bad reaction. I might call in, just to be safe
If I didn't have a nursing BH on me right now I'd grab his "things to watch out for" sheet we got after his vaccinations.

purple I hope Laura feels better soon. That's wonderful you don't have any more vaccines for so long. Do LOs get an annual flu shot there? Nothing too major happening here today. Just story time and then a trip to Trader Joe's. DD tried her first piece of pizza with real (non-vegan) cheese. I don't ever think I've seen her eat so fast!
A has his food challenge appointment this afternoon. Hopefully we will get past the scratch test this time so he actually gets to try to eat what I bring! Luckily DH will be there this afternoon to help. It's hard to hold a squirmy baby still for 15 minutes by myself.
This afternoon will be spent cleaning and organizing for camping, and getting outside when we can!
We went to HS grad last night. Grad classes here are very small so they are very personalized with lots of stories and slideshow and stuff. I've found it more emotional since being with H and knowing he's had a hand in each of the grad classes educations. But this year was an especially small class so the moms went on stage together to do a toast to the grads. Omg. Just watching my own 2 bouncing around at that time and realizing how fast 18 years went for them I was choking right up.

Thanks, billyhorrible :-) Yes, she has always had a similar reaction. I always do too. The leaflet I have (I've just checked) says that redness, swelling and discomfort occur in about ten per cent of children from the PCV13, HIB/MenC and MenB injections. That's three of the four! I should probably expect a rash from the MMR in 6 - 10 days at this rate. She's had a rough 48 hours or so after every previous lot of jags, which her doctor says is on the worse end of normal. The poor kid takes after Mummy.
blueskiessmiling, yes, the flu jab is available from age two, so I guess L will have one more injection before she's three :-). Over here they have vaccines at two, three and four months, twelve months, three years and four months and then not again till high school.

Long weekend here too, but no plans.
DH is working in Texas again so it's just the girls and I, and EVERYONE that I know already has plans. There is lots going on in the city though, so if I can work up the motivation I should probably take them to do something fun for Canada Day... wouldn't want to waste the cute shirts that I bought for the occasion.
8:30 am and I'm about to go wake both kids up. I didn't realize how much the time change would affect them, since it didn't even phase them on the way there. I should have woke them up earlier, but I enjoyed coffee and breakfast alone and it was magical.
jessila, Are you saying you had a 15 cent charge that you had to pay a late payment for and now you still owe 8 cents? I would be livid.
Yeah. It's rather stupid. And they paid for postage on all 3 of the bills. We paid the late fee but it didn't get there in enough time to close out the charges left. So, I'm just going to deal with it in person. It's a small, local bank. Maybe they'll drop my 8 cent charge and give me a lollipop.
Poor L! I hope she starts feeling better soon purple. Lazy morning here. I will probably do some cleaning and packing to go north again this weekend, but for now I am enjoying sleeping baby cuddles and listening to the rain outside. This is one of my favorite parts of the day when it's just E and I.

Got the damage estimate for my car this morning...yikes. We're planning on dropping it off tomorrow to be fixed so now I need to work on getting us a rental:(
Splash pad visitors: Would that still be a fun thing to do with a LO that can't walk, or am I better off waiting until he can?
I used to take DD1 when she only crawled and she still loved it. Ours had a little splash table that she'd stand up on and play in, and she cruised around the place crawling. The only problem was that it was concrete and her little knees would get so skinned, but she didn't seem to notice.
