MONDAY MONDAY

NCU Did anyone post about the striderite sale? I didn't see anything in my super quick glance. It's worth a look!! We desperately need shoes over here. Even if he does refuse to keep them on.

PSA for all the preggos and those that now have little babies -

Hanna Andersson has some little sleepers for $5 online. Mostly boy prints and mostly little sizes (none for our J15ers) If you go to clearance and baby they are under there.

We went to the grocery I asked ds what he would like to get for his school lunches this week.

He wants olive and ham sandwiches. So that is what he will be having. I love olives and ham but it seems like an odd combo for a sandwich.

Happy Monday! E is teething again which means no one slept much last night. I only have a four day week then a four day weekend so I don't even mind that it's Monday right now.

I really miss E today. We had a pretty fun weekend despite her being extra needy with the teething. She was so chatty and cute this morning too. Hopefully she is still in a good mood when I pick her up this afternoon.

lovemyirishtwins, my kids always do black olives and ham on their Subway sandwiches! I, personally, find it disgusting but I find anything to do with olives revolting.

We had a huge turn out at our Open House yesterday (12 couples/individuals!) so I likely have way too much hope that something will come out of that. Apparently, they really love my decorations, so at least I can feel some pride there

cornpop311, Im dreadddding taxes this year! Real estate commissions dont factor in taxes, so I'll probably owe a large sum. My husband and I factored this into our finances and taxes, but it will still be a gut punch to see. Blegh!

@justinslovo, NO! No, with that picture!!

Moms who bring toys to the park but won't share are the WORST.

I'm trying to have an "afternoon heavy" day (basically reversing our usual schedule of fun morning activity followed by a quiet afternoon at the park) and I'm not into it. The park is so crowded (I attempted a quick count and there are about 45 kids) now versus the afternoon (when there's usually less than 10). And the morning moms aside from not sharing are big on hovering.

In other news, does anyone watch crazy ex girlfriend? I didn't think I'd like it, but it's really funny. I can't tell if I like it because the I are all sorts of inside jokes or if it's actually funny.

Hour 3 at the airport. Delay upon delay. I wish they'd just cancel it so I could go nap. So wiped from the weekend though it was a nice visit. Got to have some one on one time with my mom, which was good but sad. She'll be on chemo for the rest of her life (which may be for another 5-6 years) and they're using the word "treat" not "cure" and she was bemoaning how unfair it is that she won't see her grandkids grow up. I feel awful since there's really nothing for me to do. Cancer sucks, guys.

So much love to you amch8!

@justinslovo, that pic is just wrong on so many levels. Next time put a trigger warning on that...my stomach was not ready 😉

[Tgrrl]

sharebear05, I hope you and JT had a great first day!

[lindylogana]

Aww I'm so sorry amch8 hugs girl. Cancer does suck the big one!

[queenofcats]

Hugs, amch8.

[catladymeow]

Hugs amch8

[lonegalathome]

amch8, all the hugs.

[lovemyirishtwins]

Black olive @justinslovo. I have meat issues. I was a vegetarian for over ten years.

The youngest girl in the family I nannied for loved the ham salad. It grossed me out.

Hugs amch8.

[wells2010]

@justinslovo this should be your UO.

amch8 glad you got some QT with your mom. Hugs.

[lovemyirishtwins]

Oh I meant to add, I showed ds your picture @justinslovo. He said he would try it bc it looked yummy. He pointed out it would be better with black olafs (olives).

I love that he calls them olafs instead of olives.

I've lost 11 lbs so far, so even though I had a huge bag of my favorite cookies I made my students take every last one of them so I wouldn't break down and shove them in my face like Cookie Monster. MH gives me cookies he has leftover from client visits to share with my kids so "if any of them ever decide to shoot up the school, they'll spare your life because you're the nice teacher who gives them cookies."

[imavera]

mrsbeachcat, YES! I hate when people bring toys to parks. Did you really not think that having your child bring a dump truck was not going to cause all of the other kids to try and play with it, too? Come on, people.

That is so incredibly hard, amch8. Cancer is awful.

And, ugh @justinslovo. Ham salad is so freaking nasty. It's a "staple" in my husband's family at holiday celebrations even though nobody in his generation will touch it. Also, they claim it's from their German heritage which is why it's so important. I asked a friend's au pair from Germany, and she thought I was crazy for even asking- lol

Oh @traceyos and her meat loads.....

[Deleted]

@justinslovo I love ham loaf if that makes you feel better. The Amish ladies in Lancaster PA know how to put one hell of a ham loaf together with yummy seasoning. Looks weird but I'd eat it all day every day.

[lonegalathome]

sharebear05 we had mini bagels and cream cheese with bananas if that makes you feel better.... Monday's are always the hardest for me for some reason

[mnj05]

I have the world's worst headache from a messy bun pulled too tight. One of my girls loves to braid my hair and I told her I need to look presentable for a parent meeting, so messy bun it was. It looked good, but holy moly did she have it pulled tight.

My busy week got drastically calm after today. I no longer have to stay 2.5 hours on Thursday!! I'm so excited. And I got cute treats/poems for our staff tomorrow. It was a good day.

New app beta testing on iPhone - Peanut.

Like tinder but to find mom friends...

Can't decide how I feel about this as a concept

Also, DS was so not interested in me when I got home. He wanted my attention, but said "no" to hugs and kisses . He finally let me get some snuggles at bedtime, but I'm definitely feeling a little desperate for some baby snuggles.

I've been feeling this way as well, but apparently my baby grew up overnight and is now Mr. Independent. He is also all about daddy right now. So I'm a bit heart broken.

I asked F for a kiss goodnight, and he went over and kissed MH instead. Three times 😕
