Morning! I am not sure what we're doing today yet, so for now we're sitting on the couch watching Mickey Mouse clubhouse. Fun stuff!
I did a Jamberry manicure last night (thanks @jemomma!) and all of the tips are bubbled/jagged and they're driving me nuts. I don't know how to fix them!
So my kid's a werewolf. A few weeks ago he had an exceptionally bad night where he simply would not sleep, and I remember chuckling about the fact that when I dropped him off at day care his teacher was like, oh, a bunch of babies slept bad, it was a full moon. Well, sure as shit, when I was walking his wide-awake self around our upstairs last night, I noticed it was really bright out for being 2 a.m. I told H, must be a full moon. And this morning on the news, they showed a picture of the giant full moon out last night. My kid is a werewolf, it's the only logical explanation.
We've got a wildlife service coming out today. Turns out the bats were already in my attic. Thinking back they been there since the beginning of summer we just didn't realize the noises we heard were them and assumed it was a squirrel/chipmunk in the gutter. DH and I counted 28 bats fly out of our attic on Monday night! 28, that's a lot of effing bats! They're under protection of a state law right now so there's not much we can do for a few more weeks. Bats houses are going up hopefully this weekend (even if I have to do it myself!) but that won't really help right now since they can still get back into the attic.
I'm dragging, again, today. I sleep terribly when H isn't home. I'm pretty sure I saw every hour on the clock last night. I was making O breakfast this morning and turned around to him feeding the dog. Looks like I will have to start locking him out, jillywilly. I don't know what gives me the idea that Carl's in on it...
I'm sorry, jessila. I know they can be pathetic. We always call Jilly our "special needs dog" because she is so high maintenance and can be so high strung. She still is a pain when she's put away, but just remind yourself that a mealtime of whining is better than a dog with an upset stomach. Because DS totally knows the dog wants food, and is more than willing to oblige to win her favor, and she totally knows he's the weak link in the operation to keep her away from people food.
I am tired today. B slept like crap and is back in our bed all night lately. Between her hogging the bed and DH snoring, I get no sleep. I didn't want to make my own post, but it looks like I'm pregnant. It is a complete shock and I don't know how to feel yet. DH thinks I should be over the moon. We had an RE appointment booked for Aug 4 to start trying again. RE ordered betas yesterday so I am impatiently waiting to hear back. I have no idea how far along I am and the soonest OB appointment is the 16th. I may be slightly panicking.

A long time ago I was looking at adopting a guinea pig from a rescue. He was described as a "special needs animal" because he had a special need for cantaloupe.
Yesterday I texted DH that our favorite local brew pub is having themed beers on tap tonight - all beers brewed with coffee. So new plans for dinner, we're headed there after work. Save
The only way we were able to get Amelia to eat anything yesterday was if she was not in her high chair. The moment you try and put her in there, she puts her body stiff as a board. Then throws a huge temper tantrum and screams when you put the tray on.
So anyways, breakfast she ate in the living room while playing. I hand fed her.
Dinner she insisted on crawling around the kitchen. She was hand fed her food, again. While she sat under the table with the dogs.
I hope this is a quick phase.
Have hand fed many a meal/snack while my child is playing/crawling around the house. It seems sporadic with him. He won't eat in the high chair for lunch, but then he'll happily eat dinner in it. Then the next day he'll only snack not in his chair, etc. Ironically, my child eating "where he's supposed to when he's supposed to" was always one of my "things" I was going to make sure happened while I was pregnant. I literally didn't understand why people let their kids eat all over the house. Haha. Way #456 my child has proven me wrong.
LO only really ate cheese yesterday. I made her this dinner (yummy spoonful from target) with sweet potatoes, which she used to love, and she spit them out like they were the Grossest thing ever and threw them on the floor. So I gave her cheese, which she also had for lunch and at whole foods as a snack. Oh well.
I went running again yesterday. This time with a stroller. I guess pushing a stroller works a different set of muscles because now everything that didn't hurt yesterday hurts. Also I almost ran over some pokemon idiots wandering around on the park running path. Dude, it's 100 degrees, 90% humidity, I'm running with a stroller and a baby that just woke up screaming... and you're just going to stand there in my way? RAGE.

cheese and fruit are basically sustaining DD right now. Meat is equivalent to poison.
Yep, cheese and fruit and pasta and bread are all she wants. Veggies and meats are disgusting. Guess I'm going to have to get creative in how I get her veggies...
erbear a couple possibilities about why your Jams didn't turn out great. First could be you didn't file them down low enough or filed them before they were completely cool. Second is that you have curvy nails and it will take extra steps to make them look good. I have curvy nails so I put a plastic baggie over each nail and pull tight to "seal" the adhesive. I also cut tiny, non-noticeable slits in the sides of the Jams before I apply them so they don't bubble. Finally, make sure you picked the right size wrap. Jams aren't intended to cover your whole nail. There should be a tiny sliver of nail showing on all 4 sides for the best, longest-lasting application. Good luck!
I'm hoping for a good 2.5 hour nap like yesterday. I was up a little later than planned last night, then woken up by J less than an hour after I fell asleep. It's been a rough week at work thus far, so that must be due to the full moon, right?
I've been holding off on buying a water table because I wanted to wait until they were on clearance since J wasn't too interested in them. We may be going out and looking today though. It's supposed to be super hot the rest of the week and I'm not looking forward to it.
musicfrk2002, I had a dream about you lastnight. I don't remember what we were doing, but I do remember I wasn't calling you by your real name, only your TCF name. Weird...
DH and I had a mini CTJ talk this morning, and he actually responded well. Hoping when we revisit the talk, it will be the same.
For awhile LO has been sitting in his high chair eating by himself for just a few minutes before he wants to get up and go see what DD is eating in the other room at her kids table and eat some more with her... including stealing some of her food. I might just put away the high chair altogether here soon.

Congrats @mbjune2013! So many new babies! C is getting pickier about food too. I found a frozen pasta dish that has peas and some kind of sauce. I add green beans and she eats it all. She's also currently in love with the honey BBQ chicken strips
Congrats mbjune13! I get so excited when someone announces that they are pregnant!
Glad to hear you and your H are working through things alayne926.
Life has been crazy busy here the past few days. Apparently I need to catch up on a lot around here. I'm hosting a bridal shower on Sunday so I've been running around like a crazy person every night after work trying to get things done before this weekend. I won't see DH until Monday as his company does standby for a 4-day country concert this weekend. It's supposed to be hot and humid all weekend so he will be busy with all the drunk and dehydrated people making smart choices.
My dad offered to buy me to lunch today! We only work about 5 minutes away from each other, so he's buying Jimmy Johns and we're eating on the roof by the pool at his work. This means he will send me home with a care package of candy and popcorn!
