I need the visitation schedule figured out because the kids need stability and I need to be able to have bio mom stick to it and not contact me every 5 minutes.
I hope you can get her to cooperate, that sounds stressful.
H is out of town all this week on business, so I'm home alone for the first time in years! I am sampling the many frozen entrees at Trader Joe's because #yolo.
In case you wanted to know, the veggie pad thai was so-so, wouldn't buy again. But the vegan tikka masala is really good for my lunch today!
I agree 100% with this review.
<- Also eats all the frozen TJ's stuff when her H is gone.
I feel like a broken record, but I'm so tired. Ridley is still sick and crying every twenty minutes all night long. It's exhausting.
I don't have anything planned today, though, so hopefully I can manage a nap.
Oh man, hang in there mama. Do you have a follow up for her anytime soon?
Not yet, I still need to schedule it. She has her 9m check up on the 23rd, so if she gets better I may just hold out for that. It'll depend what the next couple days look like.
So on Monday, I was taking my Nan to the dentist, and my car randomly starting loosing acceleration, and a light starting flashing on my dashboard. Luckily I was somewhere where I could pull in quickly out of the traffic. Then the car starting shaking/vibrating.
Turned it off and on, and seemed to be ok, I had no choice but to drive my nan to the dentist anyway as this was a well awaited apt for her, then I had to go pick up some things for MIL, and the car started doing it again. Wasn't great as I was stuck on a hill, it literally didn't have enough power to go up the hill, was stalling all the time (I drive manual) god knows how, but I managed to pick my nan back up and then drove straight to our local garage, and just left it when them!
They've had it for 2 and a half days, and got a call this afternoon basically saying it's unrepairable, unless I want to spend £1,200. That's a massive no!
So basically the cars going to the scrap yard. And now I'm carless... which isn't ideal as I live in a small village. We are going to view a Honda Civic tomorrow evening. I mean I'm not that annoyed, as we were getting a new car this year as with TTC #2, we would have deffo needed a bigger car (I had a Vauxhall corsa) but it would've been nice to part exchange the corsa for a newer car and to get some money off! But oh well! Crappy start of the week has turned into an okay week!

beefinch Omg I'm so sorry about your car! That sounds like it was a scary experience, and being forced to buy a new car before you planned on and without being able to trade really sucks.

I would've been more scared if I was on the motorway going quite fast, but luckily I was driving through my local town going slowly as it's a built up area!
To be honest it's given me the kick up the bum to look for a new car as I HATE car shopping, I would've probably put off car shopping until the month I would've been due with #2 (whenever that would've happened!) but it sucks missing out on saving probably £500!

I miss living by a Trader Joe's. Closest one is an hour away. I liked the lime chicken burgers I think, and the roasted red pepper soup in a box. I think that is what they were. It's been too long!

I'm so cold! Usually I'm really hot and h is really cold, but h has been gaining weight and now he's always hot so he keeps turning the heat down. So frustrating!
Being close to one was a factor that pushed us to pick our current city when we were moving this past summer haha. Sooooo gooood. I am between an Aldi and TJ's so I am one happy little shopper!

DD just got back from the dentist. She's got a cavity and a tooth abscess. My poor thing IDK how, she brushes her teeth every night, but since she's almost 9 now I don't watch her to see how she does it. I guess it's time to revisit the whole "how to brush your teeth" thing with her.

Lucky! The grocery stores by us are seriously lacking. I just drove 45 minutes to go to a Wegmans the other day :/

are her teeth close together/does she floss? We make sure our almost 7 year old brushes twice a day (don't watch her like a hawk so I'm sure it's not always the best job), but some of her back teeth are just super close together. It's tough to even get floss in there. She had a cavity the last time we went. We ordered a thing called gumchucks. Somewhat pricey if a contraption, but they can floss themselves, and even once or twice a week could make a difference. Some people are just prone to cavities.

I'm not totally sure if they're close together or not. I have that problem with my back teeth though, they're not overly close but it's hard to get in there with floss. I'll have to look into gumchucks! I've never even heard of that. Thanks for the tip!! I'm also looking into getting a WaterPik...I had one when I was a kid and had braces and it was magical how clean it kept my gums and teeth.

This would have sounded lame before I tried it, but I'm eating a brussels sprout salad for dinner, based on a recipe I found on Pinterest. It's SO GOOD.

Today was awesome. It was almost 70 degrees (getting cold and chance of snow tonight, so boo for that). But my boss took me and my colleague to lunch so we could vent about work bs. And tomorrow is my birthday so I get to go to a ramen place I've been wanting to try forever.
robotpcr Funny story about zika (well not funny ha ha) - my husband took a trip to Miami during the zika outbreak (and went to a work dinner in the specific neighborhood where it started) but before they'd told the public about it. He was sure he hadn't gotten bitten & never had any symptoms but by the time we found out about this, it was past the window where they could even test him for the virus. So his doctor told him we should hit the pause button for a couple months just to be on the safe side. And then we got a BFP the next week. I MC'd anyway so it became a moot point, but if an opportunity came up for him to travel somewhere with zika, I'd be right there with you!
