Time for a Tuesday Thread

[JoBub]

How is everyone on this lovely day? 

[babylove518]

We switched my Friday work day for today, so after today I have no more work until Monday. Yas.

I'm just bummed about the temps going back up to the lower 80s. I want the 60s!

I also keep forgetting to mention that I had a dream the other night that becole had her baby and we all took turns visiting her in groups of 3 so we didn't overwhelm her. Lol also, the hospital was set up to where the mother baby unit was one large hall and everyone just had a curtain around their bed. I would cry if that were real life.

+1 to wanting the cooler temps back! I'm sure we don't have much longer with this warm weather, so I should try to enjoy it. I feel like we don't have fall in Ohio anymore...straight from summer to winter.

I hear this complaint a lot. But I'll take 60's over 80's any day.

Guise, Hurricane Matthew is moving west and looking like it may impact Cuba & FLA significantly if it keeps on the same trajectory. It's a huge storm, so just keep all the folks in T & P's.

I feel sick for Haiti. Those poor people haven't recovered from the earthquake six years ago, and are being hammered by this monster right now.

It's terrible. My heart hurts for Haiti. I have a friend in FL that will probably be evacuated today.

Is anyone here good with gardening/ landscaping things? Our front yard needs serious help, but I have no idea what I'm doing. I know some things might need planted now if I want them to bloom in the spring.

Where's your friend at? My sister says they haven't issued any evacuations yet. Also, she's concerned about her outdoor autumn decorations, not the house blowing away. #priorities

Satellite Beach - they're military, so evacuations might be different.

Lol. My sister also had a dream about me having the baby and she said it was a boy and had an adult size nose on a baby face!
I'm not sleeping long enough to dream.........

Sadly, I don't remember if it was a boy or a girl.

[mrscatfarmer13]

I'm here, sort of. I feel like I'm on bitch con 10 today so I'm trying not to stab a coworker.

[chrispy1122]

Things are crazy at work. Hope to catch up later today. Will set date for October g2g soon, I promise! I was going to try to go to PTO meeting for E's school tonight, but just dont think I can get my life/work in order to make it today, even though it's not until 7. Next time!

What's going on?

I love it, you're the sweetest and also super feisty.

[lindsay]

I'm feeling queasy today. Eating ramen and drinking Sprite to try to settle my stomach.

[lindsay]

Sad for Haiti too. It sounds big. I hope many can seek refuge and secure shelter in time.

Thanks. I'm not really sure why I'm on edge, but everyone is getting on my nerves, especially two people that regularly eat crackers for me. Hopefully, I'm in a better mood tomorrow and this funk will be gone. 

[becole]

Feel better lindsay. Hopefully the next few weeks fly by for both of us.

So yesterday DH was trying to download Bub's school pictures, and somehow ended up with pictures of all the other kids. I told the director since it was obviously some sort of glitch, and could be a privacy issue. She was really upset and today she told me she fired that photographer. I'm bummed. This was the 2nd time they did pictures at our DC, and we really liked them. The company before that sucked.

[JoBub]

Now that I think about it, this is not the first person that she has had to fire due to us.

I mean... I get that it was an error but it's not like you don't know who the other kids are or have not seen their face and name. It's not like they went on social media and they didn't have any personal info.
I would be very meh about my kids pic being on other daycare kids photo cd. His pic is displayed all over the classroom.

[vlagroupie]

Hey guise, I'm finally starting to get my head above water with this move. Thank god for my parents and H's family, the amount of stuff we have is beyond overwhelming.
Our painter has almost finished up the stuff I wanted painted and has made such a difference in making the place feel more like home. mrscatfarmer13 I love the revere pewter. I got the paint at ace bc they sell Benjamin Moore. But the paint guy said I could do the color in a different paint to save money. So used the Clark and Kensington, saves about $8 per gallon and the coverage looks good.
N is adjusting amazingly to the new school. I love the electronic reports and pictures we get everyday. The first day I came to pick up the kids were outside. I watched her for a little while, she ran towards another little girl and hugged her
I'm trying to keep up but we are so busy during the day and I usually just want to crash at night, can't wait to get back to semi-normal.

Yeah I didn't really care, but I figured she should know about it. Apparently this director used to work for Nickelodeon and part of her job dealt with COPA/COPPA laws (which I didn't know anything about until today). So I guess in her eyes it's a huge deal that someone was able to download digital images of other kids. It's not really the same as having the pictures displayed in the school, since I wouldn't be able to take those home.

It wasn't even the photographer's fault. They contract with an online gallery company, and that's where the glitch happened.

[vlagroupie]

Oh and there are kids N's age right in our cul de sac, she's had a blast playing with them. And 2 of the neighbors came over with cookies and another with a mum. What a difference from our other neighborhood. No one ever came over to say hi after we moved in.

[JoBub]

vlagroupie I'm glad you're loving your new home! I love when I get to watch him play with friends at DC before he sees me. And that's awesome that you have friendly neighbors. I am going to be so sad to leave our neighborhood. Good neighbors are such a blessing.

[mrscatfarmer13]

vlagroupie did they find a color from that brand that matched or did they analyze the paint swatch to match it exactly? I don't know that it matters, but I like knowing all the things.

They sell Ben Moore paint at ace, so he was able to just put the color in the Clarke and Kensington paint instead of a Ben Moore paint, hope I'm answering the question right.

Ahhh.. that makes sense. I guess I was trying to figure out if I could go to Lowes or THD when they are running a sale, but I'll just keep an eye out at Ace. I'm sure they could be match it, but I'm nervous the hue would be off.

All paint is just a white base and then they add the pigments. If the hue is off, they just need to add more pigment by eye. It really comes down to having a good machine reader. I brought a green tea kettle in one time to get my kitchen color. You should be able to use any paint swatch with any paint and get the same color. The coverage/ how many coats/ how scratch resistant the paint is- that depends on the brand. But the color should be consistent.
There is a paint store down in Latonia that we use. The paint is like $25/ can but you only need one coat and it's really good paint. It's just one guy that owns it.
