joi922, you're making me miss barre class, I should get back into it. I loved going and it was on my way home from my old office. Off to google for one by me now...
Babygroup tonight, last week A walked into the room, announced "all done" and tried to walk back out. Am hoping she's a bit more excited about it tonight.
And for Valentine's, I copied an idea from pinterest - there is only 1 other kid at A's home daycare, so we are buying her a little toy, and we made handprint art for the teacher and for grandparents.
My babies turn 4 today! I can't believe they are this grown up. We've had a great day so far. I made french toast, we've opened and played with presents, went out to lunch and got milkshakes which are a super special treat for them, and we'll be doing cake tonight. Party is on Sunday.
ars093s Thanks for checking in. The time at my sister's was okay. I was definitely ready to come home by the end of it. H and I are likely splitting. While I was able to write that, I'm still in complete denial about it. The more he pushes me away, the more freaking pathetic I become. My first step is to go back to work. So now I have to figure that out. I absolutely do not want to go back to banking/mortgage, but that's all I've ever done, so I'm kind of feeling stuck.
I'm so sorry mrspiatt! Good luck in the job search. Maybe start with thinking of a career you'd really like to have and see what it would take to get there. Big hugs.
mrspiatt sending so many hugs, that is such a tough decision. Job-wise, ideally, what would you want to do? Can you apply for an entry level position in something you'd like, even if you have no experience in it yet, and also banking/mortgage jobs as a backup? I hope you find something that makes you happy.
layloo08 It is called tungsten. Wish we would have gotten a picture in the show room with it, but H had to leave to get the kids. I would take a picture tomorrow, but snow. :-(
Hoping our consultant will let us come back in for a picture. :-)
I don't know how single moms/mom's whose partners work a lot do it. I'm going to have to figure it out because with my H's new job, he is traveling a lot more. Up until now I've just done the absolute least if he's been away, but that's not gonna fly if this is happening fairly regularly. Needless to say, he's out of town right now. I'm in bed eating chocolate and leaving the dishes for tomorrow.
zonagirl My H switched jobs because he was away twice for a week each time and I couldn't figure it out. Of course, K wasn't STTN then. I wish I could have figured it out, but he is happy where he is now so win/win.
Sad panda. Noticed a sparkly item on the floor earlier and K picked it up. It was the back to one of her diamond earrings. I cannot find the earring itself. Looked outside and all. Hoping maybe daycare found it. If it is anywhere outside it will be lost forever with the weather we are about to get. Have a backup pair of gold hearts, but I am so disappointed to have lost this. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
RandomName, our E went through a climbing out phase around 15 months. Luckily, we were able to anticipate it (it was when he was crying at bedtime for a few days when he was having a rough spell) and I stood outside his room, watching with the monitor and would poke my head in and say "lay back down" in my I-mean-business voice when he started to lift his leg up and over. That said, he did make it out once (the first time he did it we weren't expecting it!) and it was terrifying.
I did do some research on it and found a rec for how to hack the pajamas too. Sew a piece of fabric between the two legs of the pajamas, around knee height. It should be long enough to not screw up their walking, etc but not long enough for them to lift their leg up high enough to get over the rail. Does that make sense? I can look for the link if you want it. There are some crib hacks that are recommended too, but wouldn't work with our crib.
He has developed a new love for his crib though and I never even had to do the pajama thing.
zonagirl, you eventually figure it out. I now use paper plates, fix supper easy dinners, prep the night before, shower at night and consume lots of wine.
But we have our routine and it works. It's hard and exhausting but we survive.
