We made it half way

Morning. E was up at 10 last night and I got her back in her room at 11. The 1 bottom molar is coming in and she was chewing a lot last night. Then I had the super sluths (pooh and friends) theme song stuck in my head. I woke with a migraine from it all.

[ladymike]

LOOK AT MY GIRL!! 

[Deleted]

ladymike she looks like such a big girl there.

Meanwhile this is my kid right now
\


She already ate her banana. Migraine means no cooking breakfast doughnuts for the win.

[malvo]

ladymike Cute and so grown up! She's finally getting hair!!

@megaugust10 Looks like me when I have a donut.

[ladymike]

OK. I'm here. Having one of those days where I just feel off? Like, my clothes fit weird, my hair won't stay out of my face. Everything just feels annoying. I want to go home and put on leggings and drink beer.

Leaving at noon, though, so that's cool. Meeting MH for lunch, we have a meeting at the bank and then I gotta get blood taken for health insurance. I'm not fasting - f that noise.

[ladymike]

malvo, I knoooow! We can do a little ponytail in the back! I love it! She might be able to have her first haircut when she's... 4? Haha.

[malvo]

I'm here. At work. Woohoo. M is feeling better. Still snotty, but much improved.

Not sure if I'm going to find a babysitter for this weekend. FIL's wife is going to Florida, and I feel like we always ask my step-mom. I feel guilty asking for more babysitting time.

Sigh...

SO wants to put up Xmas lights and then we thought about either doing go-kart racing or clay bird shooting. Not sure it's going to happen. Boo.

My step-mom thinks M needs a haircut. I have just done her bangs, but she thinks the back should be cut. Hell to the no! Those are my baby's curls! What if they don't come back?!

[Deleted]

My dad keeps telling my mom e needs bangs cut. No bangs the little hair still growing in up front is her bangs. I said no bangs until she says she wants bangs and then I will show her a picture of what mine looked like and they were not pretty.

9 am and e is already down for a nap.

[bekbek]

ladymike, she looks like a little lady! So pretty.
@megaugust10, sometimes you just have to have doughnuts for breakfast!
New day, same story. A didn't sleep. I'll play later when I can function.

Hey guys, here is a little insight from your LLR consultants...

When you are the 56th person to comment sold on a pair of leggings, that consultant is talking shit about you. Do you really think 55 other people are going to pass? Le sigh.

I love all my customers. But some make me shake my head so hard my brain may fall out.

[sjep922]

ladymike so adorable!! And so big!!

malvo I got A's hair trimmed once almost a year ago and not since then. Maybe people think it looks a mess? But it's long and I just put a bow in the try to help keep it out of her face.

[graciest719]

Does anyone want my husband? You can have him cheap. He is broken and not helpful at all, but adorable and stupid-smart.

[TheTuna15]

@megaugust10, Sorry about the migraine. Hope you feel better.

ladymike, fasting? I don't understand the meaning of the word.

malvo, Glad M is feeling better!

graciest719, Or like when the 1st person has already wrote "paid invoice" but people are still commenting. I admire the gumption.

[TheTuna15]

So life here has been fun. K is hitting the terrible twos yesterday. It's awful. She smacked Jo so hard trying to snatch her pacifier away that her eye was swollen yesterday. It's fine today but I legit panicked thinking I'd have to get her checked at the doctor for a scratched cornea. She's also eating EVERYTHING but she's SO PICKY. She wants to eat all the bread in our house. It's ridiculous.

In the land of Agnes and Dora, we finally got our big legging shipment in and I have 80 Christmas winter and plaid pairs coming next week which I'm really excited about. Including mommy and me's. It appears my inventory woes are at an end because they finally got their shit together. I'll have to show you guys pictures some of these prints are awesome.

[graciest719]

TheTuna15, You had me at plaid...

[ladymike]

TheTuna15, maybe I need to join you at A&D. I was allowed to order 20 pairs of Christmas and they f'd up my order. My kid also only wants "buh buh" (bread). She carries around loaves of bread and packages of english muffins. The hitting and tantrums are getting ridiculous, I couldn't imagine having a tiny one around that shit. Glad she's ok :-\

[malvo]

I feel really grown up today. I made an appointment to get tires on my car and submitted a loan consolidation application. I have to call AES at lunch to discuss three non-fed loans that can't be consolidated the traditional way. The payments are crazy and something needs to change.

I should have gone to community college or a state school. Fuck private institutions.

[TheTuna15]

Here's some of the highlights.

Don't get me wrong. We had limits. I just went back on and ordered duplicates after the initial launch. I didn't get a single shirt though. So you win some and you lose some.

And yeah the tantrums are ridiculous.

[Deleted]

TheTuna15 the snowflakes are pretty. Sorry about the kiddos. E keeps hitting my hand away if she doesn't want you to do something, like hold her hand to go down the stairs.

[graciest719]

Tantrums. God forbid you say No to Joanna. Drama queen. And sometimes if I am holding her she starts hitting and she will wack me across the face. Luckily she still pretty much ignores M so he stays out of her line of fire.

Is anyone else's kid obsessed with toilet paper? Most tantrums come from the bathroom-either playing in the toilet or tearing off little pieces of toilet paper to "wipe" herself. I try to tell DH to keep the bathroom door closed but that is too difficult for him. It's easier to bitch about the mess Jo made instead of preventing the mess. Because, you know, it's not like he can clean anything up since he can't bend over. SO in addition to dong everything I can clean up toilet paper from the entire house.

Well, that just turned into a rant.

[malvo]

M also swings wildly when she's pissed. If she doesn't want to get in the car, she arches her back and locks her knees. Girlfriend is strong when she doesn't want to do something.

She's also big on stomping her little feet and yelling, "No, no, no, no, no!" It's hard to not laugh at her. Such a tiny tyrant.

I'm glad we're not alone.

[ruemorgan]

graciest719 i feel your toilet paper pain. P likes to shred the toilet paper up and throw them in the air like confetti. I dont even keep the toilet paper on the dispenser anymore, im so over it.
And P keeps pulling the wipes of out of the package like a magician pulls scarves out of his sleeve. Staahhhppp.

[ruemorgan]

Work is super busy, bleh. One mom tried to drop off her kid today and was like "hes been out (since thursday) because hes been sick. Hes still not feeling 100% but the fever is pretty much gone."
Me: did you take his temp this morning?
Her:yeah, it was 101. But its okay i gave him tylenol. Just call me if his fever comes back.

HARD NO, PEOPLE. I know you gotta work but lets use some common sense, PLEASE. Smh.

Anyways, i gotta tackle the garage after work. Not looking forward to it.

[ruemorgan]

Oh! A parent at work gave me a going away card (the message she wrote was SO sweet, i almost cried. Im going to miss my families so much) with a $50 gift certificate to amazon. With black friday around the corner i think im going to keep an eye on the FitBits. Can anyone recommend which one they like or dont like? I dont think i need one of the fancy ones, but I really dont know what they offer other than keeping track of your steps. Well, i know one keeps track of sleep but I dont think i need a bracelet to tell me I slept like shit, haha. Im fully aware of when that happens.

[malvo]

At work we always adopt a family and buy Christmas presents for them. I have the little boy, who is 5 months. They want toys for him. What suggestions do you have for a 5-month old baby boy?

[malvo]

FFWC: I have dosed my kid with Tylenol and hoped for the best at DC. I have no PTO and I'm poor. I'm sorry. Living the American dream!

[ruemorgan]

malvo i get it, i really do. Its so challenging. But when youre on the 7th day of a fever 101+ maaaaybe, idk, take your kid to the dr? I should have added that to my origonal post. Mom hasnt taken her kid to the dr. He looked SO sick and was crying the whole time she was there. Poor baby
