Tuesday/Wednesday two-for-one special

[lilyelayne]

At least I'm pretty sure today is Tuesday. Vacation throws me off.

[lilyelayne]

Just in case anyone missed it, there's an announced thread above. TCF is doing a support drive for Louisiana flood victims. It's really bad, y'all. Not where I live but around Baton Rouge.

[lilyelayne]

G has been fighting bedtime this vacation. When I start his bedtime prayers he starts crying "no no no" which leads to statements like

"God bless Mimi & Pawpaw--"
"NO NO NO"

Which shouldn't make me laugh but sometimes does. What a spiteful kiddo

[dreemkin]

lilyelayne that's so funny but so not funny at the same time. Hope he gets on board and vegges out on vaca.

I went to a local wildlife conservation/preserve again today with the girls and my parents met up with us since they live in the area. We got to see some of our favorite animals (owls!). Love the barn owls in particular! My dad has his procedure tomorrow to remove his BCC so I'm glad I got a hug in!

[seamonster]

Nothing exciting here. I'm working 12 hour days the next couple weeks.

[tortor4]

dreemkin T&Ps to your dad today.
lilyelayne sorry but that made me lol! I hope it gets easier!

I'm going to get my hair done today and I think I'm going to get it cut short. Maybe to my shoulders or a little shorter. Why am I so nervous about this?! My hair is really long now but just so...blah. I think I need a change.

[lilyelayne]

dreemkin praying for your dad & his medical team today.
seamonster liking the new job? Is it a lot like your old one? Do 12 hour days mean you won't see LO?
tortor4 it's really hard not to laugh when he does it, but I shouldn't encourage that behavior haha. Yay for haircut! Going short is always nerve wracking, but I bet you'll like it. And it grows!

[dreemkin]

tortor4 if your hair qualifies, please consider donating it to Locks of Love! I will be doing this again soon. I just need to wait for another inch or two more (it takes me 2+ years for me to grow it out).

[dmorgendorffer]

dreemkin I had enough to donate when I chopped mine after DD was born my stylist recommended the Pantene Beautiful Lengths program over Locks of Love, you only need 8 inches vs 10 and they provide wigs for free, Locks of Love charges on a sliding scale.

[dmorgendorffer]

This week has been rough so far, really busy at work with wrapping up stuff from my old position and getting up to speed on the new one, plus having a miserable cold and AF showed up today. How is it only Wednesday???

Maybe a milkshake is in order with lunch today.

[dmorgendorffer]

tortor4 go for it! I always go way too long between cuts and then chop a bunch off.

I need to go have something done with mine, the baby hairs on my hairline are driving me nuts. And it's long enough now that they are starting to curl a little so they stick out all over the place. Don't really want to do bangs but I'm not sure how else to cover them up. I was shocked when I asked my new stylist why I had them and she guessed DDs age from how long they were.

[dreemkin]

dmorgendorffer thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into that! I knew that Locks of Love charged sometimes, but I figured any help is better than just throwing the hair on the floor. Plus, I can't imagine the cost of such a production. Also, I like that they help children with any reason for hair loss (my mom has mild alopecia). I've been growing out and donating probably since I was in middle school or high school. I love being able to help someone in need. 8 inches is much more doable for me since my hair grows so slooooowly.

ETA: I'm sorry you're having a rough time at work.

[dreemkin]

Only $77 dollars spend this week at Sam's Club...

[tortor4]

dreemkin yes I would love to do that! ill ask my stylist if my hair qualifies. It's been highlighted and admittedly is definitely not the healthiest so I wonder if they'd take it.

dreemkin thinking about your dad!

Thanks! Just got an update. I guess the removal went well. They will be sending it to the lab again to make sure they got all of the cancerous cells. My dad seems to be doing well and in good spirits!

[agm04]

dreemkin sounds like good news! i'm so glad.

[tortor4]

dreemkin so glad to hear it went well!

[lilyelayne]

dmorgendorffer yikes what a week. It's 5 o'clock Wednesday so you're more than halfway through the work week! Hope you got your milkshake.

dreemkin sorry you broke the SAMs club streak. Yay for good news from the doc! Hope the lab gives the all clear.

Our vaca was so much fun - r had a blast I've never seen him so happy
Coming back sucked- naps & sleep thrown off, quick 2nd round coxsackie, now swollen eyes (allergies?)

[mishka29]

dreemkin glad it went well!

I have a vacay day. I went to bed bath and beyond to get a new laundry hamper. It took me over an hour lol. Hit up pita pit for lunch. Watched olympics and did a bit of tidying and cleaning.

[lilyelayne]

mishka29 man I love pita pit. Wish we had one.

[lilyelayne]

tortor4 what did you decide for your hair?

[seamonster]

The job is basically the same as the old one. New group and new site and new tool, but otherwise the same. DS gets up early so I see him before I leave and I come home in time for bedtime. I get 3 days off and two are the weekend.

[agm04]

seamonster that sounds like a pretty good schedule overall!
