Someone tell me I'm being ridiculous. And why?! Our infant car seat expires in February 2018. I won't get use out of it at this point. Not enough anyway even if I got pregnant now. I need to just sell it while someone could use it. Right? I'm having a hard time letting go of it. I don't know why. The thought of someone else having ownership of it makes me, I don't know what I feel, but both of my little babies used it, what's my issue?!? It's just sitting her being wasted away, but I have all the feels about parting with it.
Ps I've been feeling like this for awhile, not just today in my extra sappy state.
So how random is this, given my post this morning (edit this afternoon?). I haven't talked about this stuff at all out loud at home or with DS. Out of the blue while we were rocking tonight he comes out with this:
DS: Mommy, which way is heaven? Me: Way up high in the sky. DS: But mommy, I don't want to be way up in the sky. I just want to be on the ground.
Cue more tears.
Ok I need to be done with the sadness and pull it together.
Omg C asked me about heaven yesterday too! It actually started with a conversation about a graveyard we drove by that he asked about and we ended up with the heaven talk. He thought for a while and said "so it's a really nice place? Like Disney?" I said maybe, it could be whatever you want. And he said "well then I want it to be just like this. Just our family and sunny and happy." 😭😭😭 i can't deal with how much I love him sometimes.

Aww, that's so sweet. It's amazing the things that can come out of their mouths.
I think I did something to my ankle recently. The front of it hurts like a bitch. Dr. Google says it could be something called anterior ankle impingement. So I decided to give it a rest from the gym tonight. I don't want to risk further injury.
Tomorrow I'm driving down to my sister's for the night. Since H has to work Saturday morning, I'm taking the kids by myself. I'm kind of nervous, since H is usually with us on long trips. But I have my tablet fully charged, with digital copies of Finding Dory and Moana on it, so we should be fine. DS will likely fall asleep in the car, but DD likes to be awake and entertained during car trips.

chocolate, can you use it for the Target trade in towards a new carseat for one of your kids in the future? Or are they set for the next few years? Maybe recycling it is easier on the heart than another baby using it!?
I just finished working 3 of the last 5 nights and my house is a wreck. Good thing is SO and I are both off the next 4 days!! I don't remember the last time this happened! I'm so excited. Tomorrow we have a new play date with a mom in town. She has 3 littles so I'm letting her pick the time and place. Then visiting new baby goats at the farm next door. I can't wait. Baby goat snuggles are my faaaavorite.
Ugh, I feel ya. I just worked 3 - 12s and my house looks like a war zone. Sorry you work full time and get home at 5pm DH, it must be so hard doing everything by yourself in the evening.. pfffft

Kids do weird things to emotions. I get it.
I actually thought of doing that. But I'd hate to get a new one now without knowing when I would really have another child. I should wait to get the most out of the time they are good for. I know they are good for such a long time, but I'd hate to waste a year or more of a new one sitting around. Does Target do this sale yearly or semi annually I wonder?

SS is home! I wish I had more time with him between his getting home and bedtime, but at least he's back safe under our roof. Now I'm going to have cereal for dinner and pass out.

Argh for real. He has L from 6-7ish and C from 6-8ish and then a couple hours of solo time. And no chores happen. I'm lucky if dishes are done. 2hrs of childcare does not count as "having the kids". Pfffffft seriously.
Someone tell me I'm being ridiculous. And why?! Our infant car seat expires in February 2018. I won't get use out of it at this point. Not enough anyway even if I got pregnant now. I need to just sell it while someone could use it. Right? I'm having a hard time letting go of it. I don't know why. The thought of someone else having ownership of it makes me, I don't know what I feel, but both of my little babies used it, what's my issue?!? It's just sitting her being wasted away, but I have all the feels about parting with it.
Ps I've been feeling like this for awhile, not just today in my extra sappy state.
Ours will expire before we need it again so I gave it to a friend who was expecting their first. You could always hold on to it until you get KU and trade it in for a new one.

I didn't see river's post before I responded. This is the first time target is doing a trade in, but Babies R Us does trade in 2x a year.
Which do you prefer? This is the tile in our basement bathroom. The room is about 5.5ft by 5ft (plus the tub of course) so not a lot of floor will be showing. The tiles are 13x13.

I've been having all the emotions lately (hormones?!?) I made my first trip to a Buy Buy Baby last weekend and watching all the pregnant ladies was legit making me feel jealous. Huh? I'm so confused, my ovaries need to take it down a notch!
trtlcrzy I think going the same direction might make it look more elongated if it's a smaller space. So that's my vote but either would look fine I'm sure.
