Starting a fresh new week with a glorious Monday (ransoms)

Cute kids! Much overload!

DH is home with the kiddies today. He's going to a redsox game later so he's going to be bringing the kids to my office before heading to Fenway. I'm excited for them to meet my coworkers!

I'm standing in the window, staring at my painters, wondering why they aren't coming in. These walls aren't going to paint themselves!! Let's get moving!!

Maybe your neighbor got to them and told them she doesn't approve of your color choices and now they don't know what to do?

Morning. Soph promised me she wasn't going to cry for school this morning and she's going to be brave. We'll see if she holds that promise in about an hour and a half....

She's a little liar!

[shanadoo]

She was even smiling before we left!

DD started K this morning. She, DH and I all did great. You know who had a hard time? Her 2.5 y/o brother. He was so sad that she wasn't getting back in the car to drive to daycare with him. It's all he's ever known. Poor little guy 😕

DS1 started K 2 weeks ago and today was the first day DS2 didn't cry for his brother at daycare drop off.

Are you in Boston? I had no idea. I just moved away from there to RI.

I work just outside of Boston and I live in NH.

Guise. I am so relieved.

Remember DS1's bully last year and how DS1 got in trouble for tattling when the other kid was actually hurting him? Well Friday he came home from school and told me another boy was doing things like tripping him in line, hitting him with a backpack, and poking him, including in the eye. DS1 said he didn't tell a teacher because they don't care

This morning, I dropped into his classroom and told his teacher what he told me, and I told her he had problems last year. She is all over it. She said didn't know about the bullying, BUT she's been encouraging him to speak up because she had the feeling he was a quiet kid who might not stick up for himself. She said during her break, she's going to inform the other adults who are with DS1 during the day plus tell the school's counselor so she can focus on that in their guidance class today.

This makes me so happy for you son.

I mean I am sad that he is being bullied, but happy someone is watching out for him there.

shanadoo, I had high hopes for her today. At least she looked cute doing it

I'm not sure how glorious this morning is. Yesterday it was my five-year-old that was up at 4 AM. Today it was my three-year-old who decided to start the day at 4 AM, coming out of his room and crying. At least he was crying for daddy and not mommy, though. 😂😩😭😴

What's the easiest way to post an actual pic here? Host on imgur or something like that? I'm used to just doing gifs and memes.

Clearly I want to join in the sharing of adorable kiddos.

I use imgur

[angelashly]

I want in on the cute kid pics

I'm giggling at sussy for some reason.

I am in a foul mood funk today. It doesn't help that it is Monday. I'm tired of BS and lazy co-workers, and I'm tired of constantly doing double duty at home because MH has to work so much extra to support the car he couldn't afford and the debt he racked up.

OK, I think I'm done. Yeah. I'm cranky.

+1 to the bolded. I think when I do my performance review with my boss, I'm going to ask to take on more of "Shirley's" responsibilities since I'm doing them anyways and actually be compensated for it.

Good luck with that you don't have dirt on him

@pbfox She is stunning!! And definitely doesn't look nervous.

I had myself all psyched up for repeating last year, and when she was like "I've already kind of flagged him as someone who might need a little extra help" I almost hugged her I was so relieved. She also said several really nice and funny things about him. 

Good teachers are life.

We have friends coming to stay on Friday. They also have three children. So ten people in a 1300 sqft house.


DH and I will be spending the next 4 nights scrubbing, organizing and THROWING SHIT AWAY

[seadragon2013]

Why do otherwise intelligent people post pictures of their houses on facebook and include the address??? I haven't talked to you IRL in 10 years, dude. I don't want to know your address.

Dum dum dum dum dumb.

[veganontuesdays]

So many cute kids in this thread! Makes Monday less Monday-ee.

[angelashly]

Also don't let the smile in that picture fool you. She was furious with me this morning because I woke her up to early and made her wear those shoes that she insisted were to tight.

Spoiler alert: they are not tight and are her size she just likes her Keds. Normally I wouldn't pick that battle, but she wanted those shoes in the store and she is going to wear them sometimes.

[seadragon2013]

Parenting truly does have the cutest kids!

[veganontuesdays]

Now I want to play.

My uncle built this car from scratch. Kewl.

[veganontuesdays]

The boss brought in cookies for breakfast, I have extra coffee, and y'all are posting the cutest pics. I ain't even mad about this Monday.

I just made plans to go to a football game with my BFF on Thursday night. I'm super excited for the start of college football!

And for beer, because that always goes well with football.

Good Morning when I dropped DD off at preschool this morning she told me "I don't need you to wave at the window anymore, I'm a big girl". I wanted to cry.

[owlishbookish]

I'm not ready for the morning. We went hiking with the ILs yesterday and I got a little too much sun. I slept like shit, so I'm drinking ALL the iced coffee. The kitten is trying to steal my muffin and our unofficial foster kitty appears to be pretty close to having her kittens. She's showing a lot of the signs. At least our sweet older neighbor next door is helping out with food for her.

[risscaboobs]

I want to play! Here's my cute baby girl!

[abvintage]

I'll play.

*poof*

Kristykristyleelee, I want to nom those thighs
