Friday, Friday, Friday (Randoms)!

[kaits8]

Getting it started early b/c that's the kind of morning I'm having. Let's hear it! Any good plans for the weekend?

[kaits8]

Last night, I had to sneak into DD's room to remove a pillow I had let her fall asleep with. Her room is pitch black; I hear her move as I walk in, so I shut my phone light off and wait until the moving stops. I turned my light back on, and she's standing up, silently, staring at me. Creepiest thing ever.

Was woken up at 5 by 1 dog with diarrhea. Had both dogs outside at breakfast, dingbat puppy tries to fly up the deck stairs, gets a hind leg caught in between steps, and goes flying backwards. So he's no longer putting weight on that leg.

Woo, Friday. I hope you're all having a better morning!


Oh...but...pumpkin is back!!! My H says it's too early, and while I might agree it gets released earlier every year, I love my pumpkin. Drove out of my way to find a Dunks with pumpkin coffee yesterday and will likely do the same today

[mosdub]

kaits8 jeez, hope your day turns around. Poor pup!!

[jnnfrrose6]

Tomorrow we are having DS's birthday party. At our house. 10 people have rsvp'd (3 no's, 7 yes's). 13 people haven't bothered to let me know if they're coming or not. So, we'll either have way too much food or not.

Also, MIL arrives today sometime around lunchtime.

Just waking up. Going to make some coffee and let DS watch some cartoons while I come back to life.

My 11 month old is throwing her brothers toys off the couch and going "heh heh heh"

[missi]

Warning.. still whining ><

Thirty-six hours into a migraine. Nooooooo! Watched "The Little Prince" on Netflix with all four girls yesterday.. cried so much that I gave myself a runny nose. Someone shoot me ><

Positive.. I haven't noticed as much nausea Woohoo.. hoping it doesn't come back in full force once the migraine finally goes.

Ooh, the older girls finally got their logins yesterday for their schooling. They LOVE it! The new virtual curriculum is so well done that they were smiling while learning algebra Life is good. ^_~

[ladytiffany24]

I'm around! But super busy! I leave work today around 12:30 so I'm squeezing in a lot of stuff. We'll be in a big cabin this weekend with some of my family! I'm off work on Monday and Tuesday as well!

[mosdub]

Got up early to do some grocery shopping. Going to make a pie! Then I'm going wedding dress shopping with a friend, I'm so excited!

eta: for my friend getting married, not me! 

[callmeKD]

I really want a donut

[callmeKD]

We had severe thunderstorms at 2:30. One of our dogs totally freaks out. So we hardly slept. Plus I was hungry. Is it time to go home yet?

[mikaela20]

kaits8 poor puppy! Ouch.

Another day of feeling starving. Body, you ate toast and a bagel with butter and cheese. You are not hungry, trust me.

I am happy I made it to Friday!

[amacbaby]

waking up to a puppy with diarrhea does not sound fun kaits8!

My nausea is lighter the last couple days so I'm enjoying coffee again Also, I can't wait for fall! I am daydreaming of watching HP, doing fall crafts and carving pumpkins. Of course I live in Texas, so it never actually feels like fall but oh well.

Two more weeks of Neuro for school and then I get a light week. I am SO excited.

[erinshelley21]

I got up at 5 to go walk with a friend. This isn't anything new as we've been doing it since May, but I am exhausted today.
I am working on a CE class for my insurance license. Its painful. Thankfully it is only 3 hours and I can take breaks. Its taken me 1.5 hours to do 1/4 of it though.
I also learned why my brother has been a huge dickhead at work all week: he is quitting his chewing tobacco. I'm happy for him, but holy shit. He has been such a jerk all week. I can't say anything to him though because he told our coworker and not me and he gets pissy when we talk about him, even if its something positive.

[cosmicav]

My kid slept awesome tonight (for once!) but I didn't. :/ got up to pee twice and then couldn't go back to sleep for hours. Ughhhhhhhhhhh

So I'm dragging ass today

[kaits8]

callmeKD, dogs with storm anxiety are the worst. We had an ancient Lab mix who was a nervous wreck anytime a storm rolled in. She would follow us around pathetically just wanting to be held I'm sorry you had a rough night with your dog!

thanks. I wish she would just hide under the bed. but instead she tries to climb the walls. so she has to go in the basement in her kennel.

DH is yelling at me from the other room, he can't figure out how to use our printer. I told him, just hit copy. He said, there is no copy button. I said yeah, because it's on the menu screen. He asked what screen.

[missi]

mikaela20, oh hunger!

amacbaby, I'll dream of fall with you.. and never get it either.. oh SoCal ><

cosmicav, dragging with you and the rest of us >< My dh was being a meany last night, and I was ridiculously miserable, so got in a heated discussion until 11:30p >< Then woke up at 5 am due to needing more Tylenol Hope you feel better as the day goes on!

[muskiefan]

I haven't been around much this week (work has been hell and I pulled off a surprise bday party for DH at my house on Wednesday) so I'm going to catch up!

Also, I forgot my phone at home and I'm very surprised I can actually access TCF from work. Whoop! Whoop!

[amberry10]

So, I'm on the West Coast and I always feel so behind when I'm able to log on in the mornings sometimes as late as the afternoon. I feel weird being late to all the parties. I've just become a dirty lurker. So, I've decided to get over myself and jump on in even though some treads are from hours ago!

Anyway, my oldest, started Kindergarten and oh.my.god. what a traumatic experience. I was that mom whose child would not stop screaming/crying. It was horrible! I didn't know what to do! I know staying there wasn't helping the situation, but I didn't want to abandon this screaming child with his new teacher with 17 other kiddos! Ugh, I felt so bad for him and myself, to be honest. His teacher finally called in reinforcements, the schools psychologist.... I was able to sneak out (by sneak out, I literally had to run out) of his classroom. About 30 min after I left he was completely fine and joined in with all the other kids. So overall, he did fine. However, I've never wanted a glass of wine more than I did last night!

Anyway, happy Friday!

Trust me. There is at least one every year in every kindergarten. Had your child been to daycare or preschool previously?

[sillygirl44]

I am dragging too. I started off really well but started to crash around noon. My DD is refusing to nap today and my DS is screaming and crying when he pees. I got him an appointment with the pediatrician and then called my H and asked him to take a half day to come help me.

[heytheredelilah]

I just got an email from the local baby furniture store that I bought DD's furniture from that they are having a closing sale next weekend. The owners are retiring. I'm so disappointed. I would have gone there for this baby's furniture but I haven't decided if I am going to take DD out of her crib yet. They have great quality furniture and I like to shop local.

[skk]

Add me to the no real fall club.

amberry10 - I'm glad to have more west coasters on this board. I'm in HI, so always way, way behind and posting at random times.

sillygirl44 - Poor DS. I hope the pedi can get the issue solved quickly and your DS some relief!

[amberry10]

sillygirl44, yes! He has been in daycare since he was 18 months! I expected him to be upset. I've been preparing him and talking to him about kindergarten for the past couple of months. He has been consistent with telling me he doesn't want to go and he is "too little" for school. So, I figured there would be some resistance. But, wow!

I hope your son feels better! And, your DD takes a nice long nap!

[skk]

I'm dragging today too. Something about all these vivid dreams lately that leave me more tired in the morning.

It's a state holiday here, but I'm a federal worker...boo. Most people took off so there aren't many of us in the office. I have a ton to do and no motivation.

On a happier note, we finally have a weekend that isn't fully committed. All we have planned is soccer for DS tomorrow morning so hopefully we'll have time to relax a bit.

Random question and I'm not sure if it's already been discussed, but for those with older kids, have you already told them about the pregnancy? DS is 3 and keeps talking about babies lately and telling me he wishes we would have a baby too. We haven't told him yet since I was having so many complications. Things are slightly more settled now but we can't decide when to tell him. I figure once he knows the info is fair game to anyone since he doesn't know much about secrets so I think that's what's holding me back right now.

Oops, sorry for the novel. TGIF!

Oh no! amberry10 my heart goes out to you both. Here's hoping tomorrow goes smoother.

skk I have an almost 4 year old and I intend on waiting as long as possible to tell her. She has no concept of time so as short of a "9 months" as I can make it for her the better, imo.

This is a very good point!  DS has seen a lot of pregnant ladies at daycare, so I'm hoping he remembers he doesn't all happen quickly, but also has no concept of time. 

[callmeKD]

skk - we told G last weekend. she was so excited and can't stop talking about it. and she is carrying around her baby doll all the time taking care of it. around 7 weeks she did ask me if I had a baby in my belly because it was getting big.

we are going to have her tell our parents this weekend. should be interesting.

G asks daily if the babies are bigger yet.
