Fiery Friday

[calishove]

Im enjoying the coffee before it's time to drop off at preschool. I'm doing a painting mom's night out thing with my new friends here tonight.

It is also going to be a busy house hunting day and I need to make my way over to Target.

Yesterday we were at the mall in the play area and another child pushed V off a pretty tall play structure. The other mother was so mad at her son, she flew into a rage, grabbed his arm to pull him off and accidentally swung him into the adjoining play structure. The kid's nose was bleeding heavily and he was hysterical.

V was fine, he only cried because he saw the other boy was bleeding. I had to give them all the tissues in my purse to clean him up. It was awful!

LizInFL do you close on the house today? I hope you got everything moved out! Just relaxing time now

We close Monday. Move out is complete except for some random stuff we're bringing over to my parents'. Our movers yesterday were amazing AND finished in 5.5 hours, instead of the 7-8 they'd originally quoted. I like to think that was a result of all my hard work and prep but they're probably just super efficient

I'm going over to the house this morning to start cleaning and DH is going to go back this weekend and do the yard one last time. So close...

My parents make their very last mortgage payment on Monday, as well, so we're going to open a bottle of good champagne and celebrate then.

calishove good luck looking at houses. I hope you find one that will work for you

Thank you! I feel that now that we've seen 10 homes, they are blending together in my mind. House soup.

Sitting in my hotel room. My brother flies in today, so I'll go pick him up. I also need to see if I can get him a room here, plus add a night to my room.
My Mom, Aunt, Cousin and her kids come in tomorrow. I'll finally get to see my cousins new baby boy.
I need the distraction.

mwhipple77 glad your surgery went well

Sunny41 what's bad about Uber's there? Is there a different service you can use? Lyft? I don't know what I would do without ride shares.

klongoria11 glad to hear your family will be there with you soon!

[klongoria11]

nam2013 I'm slowly getting through 1 day at a time. The less thinking I have to do, the better.

[melaniesue05]

Sunny41 yeah. We don't actually have uber or Lyft here anymore. In Austin I use a service called Ride Austin. All the car services here do fingerprinted background checks. Uber and Lyft didn't want to do that so they left.

That sounds like a good Friday night.

Hi all! Just getting to work and finally pumping, ouch. Had to get kids to school and then drive to Baltimore to meet my mom for her gtube removal. It was a total non event thankfully, but felt like I should be there since my SM was her driver. It was pretty neat to be there and have her not arrive or leave in about ambulance and get coffee with her.

I don't feel like adulting today

[JoeLies]

HIIIII!!

Today was the annual family breakfast at daycare, so we all went in together to eat mini muffins and fruit on tiny little chairs. It was actually fun, it always is. I've been working from home ever since and DH took me for lunch, where we discussed which parents are mismatched. I think we look like we go together, but who knows?

It is insanely nice today so we're going to a Fairfield U lacrosse game this evening with the boys. Colin was telling anyone who'd listen about it at daycare today, he's so excited.

I need to buy more pee sticks just for final peace of mind. But I'm pretty sure we're in the clear, which THANK GOODNESS, seeing as we'll be in Temecula in 3 weeks.

Hi! It's been a busy couple of days with a busy weekend ahead. We're having a slumber party at my sisters tonight (aka drinking a lot of wine) then heading into the cities tomorrow to hang out with DH's family and getting a hotel so N can swim. We're starting whole 30 on Monday so I'm trying to meal plan now and will prep all day Sunday.

My first night away from H on Wednesday went great. Already looking forward to more

guster saltwater sandals are cute on boys but may not be wide enough. i always love natives as well for boys and girls, but may be too chubby for those still.

Hi!

I had a busy morning at work. I have a lot of things on my to do list that I was supposed to try to complete once I left, but here I am on my couch catching up on my DVR. Glorious. Those things can wait... I need a mental health break.

In good news, My best college friend had her baby girl today! She came a week early and she had the smoothest labor ever. I'm super excited that she is here because I go to LA next weekend for my grandparents 60th anniversary. I can't wait to meet her!

[wineallthetime]

It's going to be 55 and rainy tomorrow. Weird to wear sandal wedges? Going to a first communion and no clue what to wear.

Can any of you with the boys help me find Charlie summer shoes that are stylish and stay on his feet? He's in Mocs now, but I feel like the leather is going to be too hot for the summer.
I just saw the most adorable Sperrys that look like they're tied up but are actually Velcro, but I bet they fall off the same way Toms do.
Help, please!

B has had those Sperrys you're describing for the last couple years and they stay on with no problems. He's on his 4th pair I think.

I also like Natives, and PediPed makes some very cute fisherman-style sandals (they come in Navy and dark brown, iirc) that B wore the year he was one.

First time logging in all week due to starting the new job. Exhausted but happy to be working and I think I'll really like it.

On a side note, as I was walking out of Sbux today a woman motioned me over. I figured she would comment on me being pregnant. Which she did, as she reached out and rubbed my stomach with both hands! Complete stranger. I'm too polite and didnt immediately walk away thinking she would stop as soon as she started talking, but nope, kept going for a good 30- 60 seconds til I could end the convo and walk away.
It's been hours and I'm still annoyed over this. Never happened when I was pregnant with L. Ugh. Even my own MIL doesn't touch my stomach.

Yesterday my husband met a guy named Dick Rust. Might be worse than my step dad's old friend Dick Rash.

My parents used to have a realtor named dick seaman.

Yikes Sunny41. Sounds like an eventful night. I hope MIL is comfortable and you and your H get some sleep today.
