I have heard so much about the Parenthood finale being amazing, best finale ever. Makes me want to start the show on Netflix.
Yay or nay?
Definitely good for the first few seasons. It started getting TOO cliche and predictable and needlessly dramatic towards the end, so I stopped watching. But it's a good show overall if you like lots of relationship development and don't mind crying.

I just told my husband that I knew he side-eyed me on the weekend when I am on my computer and he cracked up at the term "side-eye." I was like, yeah, you know where I learned that? Online. On my computer.
AWing my husband - I met a friend and her baby for a walk after work today, and when I got home, H was just finishing up his housecleaning (we clean on Thursdays, or we used to, when we had time to clean). So nice to come back to dishes done and floors vacuumed!

I think if it were me I'd start looking for the aliens who invaded my house. Or DH must have done something off the charts bad and is sucking up. Your DH is awesome!

DD has ANOTHER cold. It's seriously like every month and a half she gets one. I tried propping the mattress up like usual and she apparently rolls too much now and ends up in a crying awkward lump at the bottom of the crib. I feel so bad she is going to be extra stuffy, now.

I was reading DH a funny post from the boards last night and while quoting it, I read it verbatim and used the abbreviations DD and DH. He was like wha??? Sometimes I forget that he isn't down with the lingo.

Dear VP of Sourcing and Marketing Ops, If you ask me to schedule some interviews for you like I'm your little admin and tell me that your calendar is up to date, please make sure you calendar is actually up to do. I don't prefer looking like an idiot when I call candidates and schedule them for an interview, then send you an invite and you counter it saying that you have a meeting at that time. Kthxbye.

Spencer has a terrible cold too. Thank goodness Mike is a great snot-sucker!! He loves doing it....it turns my stomach. The sound of the snot being sucked is so gross!! We haven't propped up his mattress yet. Maybe we'll try that tonight. What do you use to prop it up?
I started to file my taxes on TurboTax and they wanted to charge me $80 to file both fed and state. I said F that and went back to my trusty TaxAct. Not only did I only have to pay $20 to file both fed and state, but I got almost $1K more than I was getting back through TT. Never again.
Is tax act easy to use?
Leapinglizards, yes it is. I think it's actually easier to follow through than TurboTax was. You can roll through the whole thing and see before you have to pay, so that's the nice thing about it.
I used it years ago and then went to a tax professional and ended up getting the same return amount, but didn't get charged as much through TA, so I've just stuck with it. I will probably have to hire a professional though next year.

I will put a not that fluffy pillow underneath her mattress so it's propped up just a little. Normal bedroom pillows are almost the width of her crib, so they give a good amount of support for the mattress with it being at a slight incline.

Aw! Feel better babies!
Thanks! I'm starting to think she may have some allergies and that's why this is happening so often. I hate the idea of putting her on meds, though. Especially when she's already on Zantac.

We have a throw blanket that usually sits on our rocker, but folded in half, and then in thirds, it's the perfect size to incline LO's mattress. I've also heard people say they roll up baby blankets or towels.
DS bit me with his teeth for the first time while nursing yesterday. I yelled "ouch" really loud because it felt like little needles and I wasn't expecting it. He started crying and I almost did too.
Have any of you dealt with biting? What do you do? I don't think saying "it's not okay to bite" is really going to work with a 7 month old (that's what I found in a brief google search).
DD was biting me this morning laying in bed. She was just using my nip as a chew toy. I just said "no biting" and that was the end of the morning snuggles. I think all you can do is just say NO to it and remover her from whatever she is biting. It's a rare occurrence for us.

I agree. All you can really do is say something simple like "no biting" and pull them off of you for a few seconds to help make the connection that if they do that behavior/action, they don't get the boob. He'll figure it out.

DD was biting bad a little while back. It was the worst pain ever and it would happen without warning. I kept saying no and taking boob away but it got to the point where I was afraid to even nurse her. My mom actually told me to start nursing with my finger right at her lower lip so if she went to bite I could slip it in there real quick, keep saying no and keep taking it away. Looks like it eventually worked bc I don't remember the last time I was bitten.

There seems to be a lot of dumb on the TTGP page today. Then again, there's been a lot of dumb over there in the last month since everyone with brains was banned or moved, but really, how do these people function in the real world?
Random: some lady named her kid Taggar. What? She was on the Today show this morning.
I foresee some cruel nicknames being used on this kid.
I just consigned a bunch of stuff this past weekend at a local Rhea Lana sale. I also post crap on FB swap pages. Some stuff sells like hotcakes, other stuff notsomuch. It just depends on when the right audience is looking.

I had to schedule an appointment with a new hair person for next week. I'm SUPER nervous!! The same person has done my hair for almost 8 years. It takes about 40 minutes for me to get to her place which isn't doable anymore now that I have the baby. Between the drive and doing my hair it's a 3 1/2-4 hour ordeal that is too much for me to bring the baby along for, and hard to find someone to watch her for that long. So, Im going to a salon that is about 5 minutes from my house (where DH gets his hair cut) and praying that they do a good job.

Possible trigger warning
I just watched I survived a cult. It was disgusting. Especially because both the FLDS and the aggressive Christianity missions training corp are both still running
They tell a story of beating babies for cooing in church and leaving a 2 1/2 yr old in a pack in play alone for days.

We had a "Cold" that lasted for 6 weeks back in November. He had a cough I couldn't get rid of. We tried everything. I thought maybe it was reflux so we started Zantac which helped a little. We ended up switching to formula in December which caused a lot of gas. So we switched to dairy free, which eliminated the gas and the reflux. I think all along it was a dairy intolerance.
