In other news, I need to start thinking about DS1's birthday this weekend.
I was thinking about baking the cake (well, having DS1 help since he loves that). I think I'm going to run with a Thomas the Train theme. Like last year. It's like a religion in our house.
Anyone have easy cake ideas?
You throw some blue icing on it. Gets some Thomas cookie cutters and cut out of fondant. Or get some edible Thomas cake toppers and call it done.

runningmommy519, no Target bakery here. But I did find one at one of the grocery stores. For whatever reason, I was worried I wouldn't be able to find a "premade" one.
Is that like a party store? We have a large party supply store. I figured if all else failed then I was just buy some random shit and throw it on a cake. I know they have Thomas stuff from last year.
I had to run to the store this morning for milk. Some rude lady guessed that I would be "having that baby any day now"and oh it's so great I'm giving my son a sibling so close in age and do I know the sex or am I waiting to find out? I told her I'm not pregnant I'm just fat and then I went to my car and cried. Guys I really hate my body. I hear all these body positive things and "love your post baby body!" But I just don't. I hate it. I've really been trying to lose the weight but it seems like for every pound I lose I gain two more. What I'm doing (healthy eating and exercise) is clearly not working. I'm so over not having clothes that fit and getting tired just chasing my kid around the house and looking in the mirror and hating what I see.
If you read all that you get cake and cookies and brownies.

It's like a catch all. They sell everything - spices, flour, nuts, candy - anything you want and you buy the portion you want. They literally sell anything edible you could think of and then everything to make crafting edible things.
It's really the best.
But I'd bet a party store would have it too. They are pretty inexpensive and then just bake up any ol cake, blue frosting, then the Thomas edible topper. Professional looking cake with minimal work
I just got caught up from the weekend! We were really busy with family parties. Staying at my parent's house really screw up Jojo's sleep on Sunday night and even though we were home last night, it seemed to carry over. I need all the coffee. And I"m hoping the trend does not continue.
I forgot about the parenting blinds reveal! There goes my productivity...
I'm on page 18, I think. Damn I should have written down where I left off.

We are being referred to neurology. I'm not surprised. Waiting got A call back from them.
Upon checking to see what peds neurologists were covered under our insurance I realize that ds1's name was entered incorrectly into the insurance database. So hopefully we can get that corrected easily

gingerygirl hugs to you. I have been there. I have cried when a co worker asked me that once. People can be so dumb sometimes. I'm sorry that happened.
I need a bucket of coffee and house elves today. My baby is broken and wakes up every 1.5 hours. 16 more days of solo parenting!
Pasted from parenting: For anyone who didn't try the Studio Calico kit last month, the $5 trial offer is out there again. SCKIT5 or SCKIT5INTL for international orders.
July's kit looks pretty fun. Couple rolls of washi and lots of stickers!

Sorry to hear this. We're taking C to a peds neurologist tomorrow due to grimacing behavior she occasionally does. I don't think my daughter is having seizures but our pediatrician wants to cover all bases. Will be thinking about you.
All the swimming yesterday tired A out enough that she slept thru our neighbors shooting off fireworks all night and all the police sirens. Some would wake her up and she'd get up on all 4s...then decide she was too tired and plop right back down and fall asleep. I think I reached for the monitor every 10 mins to watch her.

I'm having an eventful day. Someone was murdered right below my office windows and there has been an investigation going all day. They're cleaning up the blood now so I'm assuming they've collected everything they need. Rush hour this morning was ridic. (This is the busiest intersection in the city and it was completely closed all day).
