sugarkissed , tiffbot , DS starts preschool in 2 weeks too! I was really excited but after today's visit I'm a little bummed. Details on private board.

Happy Wednesday everyone! H is home with the kids today and was thinking of taking them swimming, but it's raining right now. I'm wondering what I'm going to make for dinner tonight. We have been terrible at cooking lately, we have been eating out so much!

I made a yummy veggie dish last night
Tofu marinaded in sesame oil, soy sauce and honey then pan seared, set aside
Sauteed baby corn, mushrooms and broccoli with ginger and garlic then added coconut milk and a tsp of green curry paste and lime juice
Build a bowl of rice, veggies, tofu and sauce top with crushed peanuts and cilantro

Yum, that sounds great! Thanks!

carrots, us too. I am serious. We make a lot of major "who wins this battle" decisions this way. Fair is fair!

pghtruelove how has J been sleeping, are you getting any relief?

I ordered Jimmy Johns for lunch and they are NOT being freaky fast.

ashbash sorry for the quick post and run, work got busy! That sounds really good and I actually make something really similar to that, but without the coconut milk and curry paste. That's an interesting twist! I have most of the ingredients too! The cilantro really makes it for me, amazing how much it can brighten up a dish.

Still awful, I'm only nursing her once MOTN now, but as soon as we got her room all set up and finally decided to try CIO again she got sick. She just has a super stuffy/runny nose so as soon as that clears up we are doing it. We have been playing a lot in her room and only go into our bed when she is falling asleep. She even goes straight for her door every time we go upstairs or leave another room. I'm feeling really good about it! Thanks for asking!!!

It's also how we got our dog.  I won, best 2 out of 3.    It's a very adult way to make decisions.  

This is how we make the "who has to stay sober to drive home" decision at the beginning of a night out.

I feel super lucky in this department. SO never drinks. He's always DD.

I hope she gets well soon and you guys continue to have more success!

Facebook just reminded me that it has been 2 years since my DH and I took my most favorite picture ever. Please note: That's not my hand on my face. That's his. This was at my brothers wedding. A LOT of alcohol had been consumed. Like all of it. All the booze in the whole world was consumed by guests at this wedding.

I have not, but that looks like something up my alley! Most of the recipes use chicken but I'm sure I could do tofu. I am adding that to my food idea list right now!

Instagram now lets you zoom in on pics!

Busy busy day. We've been going non stop with doctors appointments and running errands around town. Boatey doesn't have bladder stones, but he's back on antibiotics. I Finally have a glasses prescription so I can order some offline, I'm excited.

A has been super clingy again. I wish these teeth would come on through. I can't leave the room without him crying and if anyone comes in the house he runs to me crying. People he was fine with a week ago...

I reached out to an old friend from school that just had a baby over the weekend. She made a comment on fb that her New LO was cluster feeding so I messaged her. Basically I said its all hell and no one tells you the non-sugar coated part so if she needed to vent or just talk to someone that wasn't family or that she didn't see every day I was here, no judgement. We've talked a lot in the last 24 hours and it's been nice to be able to help someone.

That's so sweet heartofglass! If someone had done that for me I think that 1st month would have been a lot less stressful. You're a good friend:)

heartofglass I did the same thing to a high school friend that had a baby about 5 months after us. I had such a hard time at first, it would have been nice if someone had done the same for me.
