Monday moods

[wineallthetime]

What's going on, everyone?

[wineallthetime]

I went to an early workout class and am now sitting on the couch with C thinking I should get up to make coffee.

No big plans today. It's supposed to be perfect, 70 and sunny!

[wineallthetime]

nam2013, that sucks about naps. If C still napped it'd be so hard to get out! We are already so limited. I try to cram everything in the 3 hours between L's naps.

[wineallthetime]

Oh and they think there is a sinkhole in our subdivision which is....not delightful.

Morning!

B has a speech check-in; he has really made progress the last couple weeks with his "F" sounds --the only outstanding issue--so I'm hoping we'll be able to drop the monthly check.

After that I need to stop and get a baby gift for a friend's sprinkle this weekend, and then back to the house for more packing. Le sigh.

[yummeecookee]

Working on 2nd breakfast here. I had a good morning w B, thankfully.

[calishove]

Good morning all!

We're leaving for preschool soon. We're going to the park later if the weather cooperates.

This evening we've got more homes to see. One we've seeing for a second time and we are really considering it, which is nerve wracking.

How's S today lfigge ?

[wineallthetime]

Snow!? Well that sucks, Vino.

Hello, good morning.

It's Monday and it's snowing. I'll spare you The pictures.
It has NEVER been like this, of course it has to be the year that I want contractors to come out and give quotes for a new deck/concrete pad.

Chatted with MH a little on the weekend, he's on a 'project' so I've got some nerves. Otherwise he's good, just missing home.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm wearing a turtleneck. ❄️

[LizInFL]

Aww lfigge, poor S. sorry for the rough morning, glad your H could take the day. Hopefully she'll feel better soon.

H can't say Fs yet either. She says "wour" instead of four, etc.

[trtlcrzy]

Morning! H woke up at 6 and came into our room so all 4 of us were in my queen bed. It was crowded to say the least. We have the make up photo session for S later this morning, I hope she cooperates. She's cutting her 3rd molar and is not happy about it. I think it might rain this afternoon so we will be stuck inside. MIL called me a little bit ago, she found a princess jeep powerwheels that she's going to get for the girls. H will love it. Too bad we don't have any room in our garage for anything right now with our basement still under construction.

Morning. At work and hoping it's a good week with less car drama and less ear infections. I visited my mom on the way home from the wedding yesterday and brought her a dinner, a center piece, her name card, cake, and the welcome bag from the wedding, so we had a mini wedding at rehab which was sweet. Now back to work and going to try not to get fired and actually be productive.

JoeLies i'm hoping you get an unexpected visit from your favorite/not-favorite aunt today.

Nothing yet, but I POAS first thing this morning and it was negative again. I'm starting to have more faith that my body is just acting wonky between Chase weaning and going off the pill. I hope it comes soon though, because DH was drunk and emotional/apologetic last night when I just wanted to go to sleep, LOL.

B was substituting a hard 'g' for all f's at the beginning of words (no issue when it was in the middle/at the end). F is a later developing sound for a lot of kids (not mastering it til 4 or so is common) but most substitute a P sound instead. The fact that he was using a G was really unusual and why we kept working on it. It's like a switch flipped in the last week or two and he's saying it properly every time. Our SLP was blown away today

[Cherhorowitz]

Morning, glories. I think we're hanging out here today. We have so much home improvement stuff going on that I can't leave without missing an appointment.

Hopefully, after this week, my house will be coming together more.

[slenle]

We had a great weekend. The weather was nice and the kids were awesome. Why does Monday have to come so soon? The weather is suppose to take a turn tomorrow for the rest of the week which I'm bummed about.

Still no coffee at the office so I walked over DHs to steal a cup. But that's already gone. Need. more. caffeine.

I planning on leaving H for the first time overnight on Wednesday. I'm going to drop the kids with my parents so I can wake up early and go to this occasional shop nearby with a friend. Dh rolled his eyes when I told him that, but it's a actually a good first time away since I'll be back to get them by 10am.

[cagoldi]

Morning.

I'm hungover from three beers.

This is not delightful.

[cagoldi]

Dear God.

I can't handle the vegan pseudoscience fuckery today.

Someone, a vegan this time, is trying to say plants are conscious and have feelings. Then someone chimes in with, "they are conscious but they exist in a different realm of consciousness. I know this because I've been reincarnated 93 times, mostly as a human but a few times as animals."

Oh. Well, that settles everything.

[JoeLies]

Morning! It was abnormally cool this morning after such a nice weekend, but it's getting lighter nice and early now, so I couldn't get too upset.

Colin woke up at 3:30 this morning to use the potty, it was his first MOTN wake-up in awhile. He was dry and he peed SO MUCH, then woke up for the day dry. He was too funny - he was so excited and proud, but also exhausted. He got out of bed only to curl up in a ball on the floor, but with a big smile on his face.

Chase only nursed for about a minute on Saturday night so I didn't even offer last night. We sat together with a few books, which he wants to chew on or bat out of my hands. We clearly haven't read to him much up to this point. Yay 2nd child syndrome! LOL. He cried once or twice when I put him down but then slept hard all night. I feel bad that we've basically had to start ignoring his crying at night, but it really has made such a huge difference.

"I have communicated with plant intelligence while under hypnosis."

She's serious.

My H hates you for that back splash thread BTW. LOL. I just wish we were closer to actually getting to pick ours. I've been driving him NUTS! He says they all look the same and just pick one. Well, if you insist! 

Backsplash goes in today so I may have pictures to show you!

I'm LOL for real at your posts cagoldi!

[yummeecookee]

JoeLies, I must've missed it. Are you not on any prevention methods?

Cherhorowitz, I sent you a pm yday (about AE jeans). I don't think you have seen it. I think it's via tapa and not PB.

[JoeLies]

yummeecookee - DH got snipped in December but has never bothered with follow-up testing. And my Rx for the mini-pill ran out last month right around Chase's birthday. Honestly only I would make it to 38 and finally have my first pregnancy scare.

Pinkeye question:

Josie woke up with some small green gunk in the corner of her eye. She washed her face and the green gunk was back within the hour. I've done it two more times since then. It's a small tiny dot of gunk, and her eye isn't red and it's not bothering her. Could that be pinkeye? Should I call the pediatrician and see if we can get drops or ointment?

Sam sometimes gets gunk relating to allergies.  Last time he got sent home from DC b/c they thought he had pink eye, it was just allergies.

Ahh ok - now I do remember seeing that post.   That mini pill is nothing to play around with!

I mean, I'm glad these people don't eat or wear animals and they're *mostly* very kind, but I really wish they would keep quiet sometimes.

Like do you not realize that this nonsense (among other reasons) is why people think we're seriously bizarre hippies?

You're not doing much to help the notion that this is a totally mainstream lifestyle when you're talking about speaking with plants and having been reincarnated. Weirdos.

I'm so confused. So they don't eat animals...but plants are conscious and have feelings so should they be eating those (or their derivatives)??...then what is left?
