I feel like I need to get my babe a helmet. He keeps falling and hitting his head. It doesn't even phase him half the time, but it scares me to death.
Same here. J has had ice applied to her head numerous times in the last two weeks. The only thing that helps me feel better about it is the Pediatrician said toddlers have harder heads than us... it could've been a line. At least J heals fast.
Wifi is spotty but I'm having trouble sleeping right now so thought I'd check in. Seems like an interesting weekend around here lol. Hope you all are doing well! I've spent the last two days day drinking wine!
The adventures my H has been texting me about the kids has been hilarious. He has a great sense of humour and could write a blog. Everything he says is always a purposefully over dramatic version of the truth. This was story one from my first day away. Enjoy.
Him- " So I had Lo's diaper pre vas'd (his description of putting Vaseline on the diaper) up and she came into the bathroom and swiped it while I was bathing DS. She comes in later with a big gob of it in her hair because she just had to wear it like a hat. Fuck her hair is greasy. I even put her back in the bath to try to wash it out. FUCK"
Me- "Hahaha *friend who I'm visiting husband* is laughing at you" (him and my friend's husband get along so great, this was day one in WA when we had come through to pick her up)
Him- "*friend's H*" is the fucking man. He probably just looks at *their baby* and he just like baths himself and changes his own diaper and shit like that. The fucking man. "
Followed by
"On the plus side the comb just slid through her hair. I could see the knots just undoing themselves in the petrol jelly orgy happening in her hair. "
Busy weekend drawing to a close here. I've just joined a playground design committee and we had a big meeting today. So many amazing ideas being thrown around and nice to use my brain in a professional capacity again. This evening I took DD out for sushi and then we went to the pub to see some great friends who moved back to France 5 years ago. They are back here for 3 weeks so it was a lovely reunion. Right now I'm pacing around my house tipsy on wine but determined to get 10K steps on my Fitbit.
My cousin and her BF got here around 10 last night. I basically didn't go to sleep until I got H's text around 2am saying he'd landed safely. O got up at 7. I'm tired but know I won't get to nap today. I texted H to say we're up and able to Skype whenever. He replied that he's learning the language of the place he's in at a family dinner and hasn't slept in over 24 hours. Aside from the not sleeping, I'm jealous of his adventure. Next time I'll go with him!
Mh has 3 flights to go on today before he's home. I'm stalking them all to make sure none are delayed. My fear is one is so he's going to end up coming home tmrw instead of today lol
So far flight 1 has departed on time. Fingers are crossed for the next 2!
Good morning. We're up and C is eating scrambled eggs and a fruit/yogurt pouch while I enjoy coffee. DH is working. Hopefully he can call it quits around lunch time and we can all hang out together. (Storming here, so it will probably be lounging and watching movies) Until then C and I will go grocery shopping and play. We didn't get home from SILs until 10:30. Way past my bedtime! But it was fun. J (birthday girl. SILs boyfriends daughter) has some sass, but she is adorable and C loved playing with her. And SIL aunt spoiled C and sent him home with a goodie basket of play dough, fruit/veggie pouches, rubber duckies, crayons, band aids, notebooks and a light up ball! C and J playing at her new art easel.
Really trying to purge our house of clothes. Ugh tooooooooo many
Inspired by erbear I did the same! I weeded out all the baby clothes that we never used/will never use (like the 15 fancy dresses in size NB lol) and ended up with 2 boxes of stuff to take to Once Upon a Child and consign prior to our bag sale this Fri. Yay! Now on to my own clothes...
ETA: happy birthday alayne926! Hope your H does something awesome for you!
Did I mention has been shaking her head no with meaning now? Because that's what she's doing as I'm telling her she needs to take a nap since she woke up too early today. I really think I'm in for it with this kid.
So jealous of all of you that have a Once Upon a Child nearby. Our nearest one is two hours away.
We are just running errands today since A's fever is finally gone. Hopefully picking out a new paint color for the downstairs bathroom. I think I want gray, but the faucet and light fixture is oil rubbed bronze so I'm not sure how that will look. I wish I was better with this kind of stuff.
I need to purge my own clothes. I held on to all my pre-baby clothes and I'm not sure if it's worth it. I know I should wait until I'm done bf'ing, but I want to just clean everything.

You should make a new thread with pics so we can help you decide.
mcp6286 tell me more about this bag sale on Friday. At once upon a child? The one in deptford?
Yes, it's Friday and Saturday at the Deptford store and you're supposed to BYO bags. From 10-1, clearance is 70% off, from 1-4 it's 80% off and from 4-8 it's 90% off!!! The rest of the store is 20-30% off.
Now till Fri, they're doing $1 clearance, which is still pretty good. I got Hayley 4 pairs of name brand shoes, a jacket, 5 tees, 2 pairs of leggings and a fleece for $30 yesterday.

If you're going to do it, you should use Poshmark to sell them. That's what I did...then I used the money I earned to buy a new teaching wardrobe. I've made over $1,500 selling over the past year. That way you can get the new stuff you need without spending a dime! I kept a few favorite pieces, mostly shirts because they may actually fit again some day, but got rid of most of the clutter. I'm going through again today for a second round...anything I haven't worn in a year goes!

Happy Bday alayne926! I was about to say exactly what carolyngrace said. We do this all the time, I find we get to the bottom of the real issue much better if we both give ourselves a little while to let emotions and tempers calm down. And since we're both temperamental and stubborn this ofteb takes a few days of acting normal like everything's fine, and then we can hash it out.
Thanks everyone! Having a pretty good morning. S is down for a nap, so I'm downstairs watching HP5 and probably going to take a nap. After lunch, we're going to take the kids to the pool.
