Hello! Hello! Hello!
What's going on today.

[marygracerich]

Hi! It's my anniversary. 💕
Since we celebrated yesterday we have nothing special going on today. He is working late so I won't even see him all that much.
Today I have to do some cleaning and I want to get started on one of my new books. G has a little cold but is in a good mood so hopefully I can get what I have to get done.

bwisco123 I am jealous of your weather. Is 50 and rainy here.

Raining cats and dogs here. Terrible traffic as a result. I JUST made the train. I had to run through the parking lot to catch it and now my shoes are soaked. At least I have another pair at work.

Meetings meetings and more meetings today. I'm tired just thinking about it.

Anniversary story, I just discovered my sitter and her husband got married on the exact same day as DH and I. Weird.

The weather is cold rainy again here (but supposed to be high 80s by Sat, wtf) so we're meeting friends at the big downtown library for story time. You have to get there early and get tickets but M's been asking for the "libot" so.

[hotcoconuts82]

Rainy day here too. I think we'll go to story time. I always feel like a hostage negotiator when it's time to leave though. I have to make ds this leaving is HIS idea.

Long story with a cute anecdote at the end.....

My FIL died about 3.5 years ago. Despite the fact that he wasn't a very giving man, emotionally speaking, he was very important to DH and they had a very special little goodbye routine. FIL always said "See you later alligator" and DH responded with "after a while, crocodile". This happened every time they left each other. Even on the days when FIL didn't recognize us or was dealing with incredible pain (he died from cancer that had spread throughout his body, 17 years after suffering a massive, debilitating stroke). It was always a private moment between the two of them, and I know my DH found it comforting to have that, even when he knew his dad was struggling.

Today as we were leaving to go to daycare, DH said to J "See you later alligator" and J said "bye monkey!"

It was the cutest thing. And perfect for them. I'm glad DH is continuing something with J that was special to him and his dad. And I love that it has its own uniqueness for them as well.

That's so sweet bethypoo83

I had to tell DH this morning to not let M drink so much bath water. I can always tell when she did because then she leaks through her overnight diaper. Sigh.

We're attempting a trip to the zoo. 6 months ago it was pretty much a bust, fx today is better! I bought one of those backpack harnesses for A, she's pretty excited about her "pack-pack" and I'm hoping that walking around will tire her out.

Current status. Mama needed a break at work.

Eli has fangs. Like...his incisors are SO sharp and pointy. Maybe making him a vampire last Halloween was a good idea. Haha!

M is obsessed with her backpack right now too!  Silly kids.  Have fun!

This story time we went to was not as good as the other one. Sad. But the librarian who did the other one is moving to this library temporarily so maybe she will take it over.

I've always wanted to take the kids to one of these, but around here they only offer them in the middle of the day during the week.

They're great but yeah, not really convenient to parents who work full time.  There are sometimes around here bedtime story hours or the occasional weekend one so that's nice.  We see lots and lots of kids with their nannies at the weekday community stuff like this.

Guise.

One of my bffs just told a bunch of us her and her H are getting divorced.
I knew they were having some struggles but I'm kind of in shock. I just wish I knew what to say/do. They have a 3 year old and I know they'll co parent great but I just feel sad all around.

Also FFTC: I worry that H will see it as 'well they did it so why can't we?' Even though the last few weeks have been okay. So part of me is selfishly worried about that.

That's intense. Good thoughts to your friend and hugs to you.
