What the Wednesday Spam

[WittyLittle]

Following aggiebug 's idea yesterday, answer the question to play today!

If you won an all expenses paid 3 week holiday with no budget/person limit, where would you go, who would you take, and what would you do?

[WittyLittle]

Though I used to be obsessed with taking backpacking trips through unexplored jungles... if I won this trip nowadays I would go to a luxury resort in the Maldives doing a mix of basking in the sun and being completely pampered, and doing research into eco-tourism. I would take DH and DS and my parents. I assume this awesome luxury resort has a good daycare and children's programs

I'd take my H and DD and go to Cook Islands, Palau, or any place in the Pacific that I haven't been to. We'd experience the culture, eat amazing food and hang on the beach.

Last night DH took DD so I got tp enjoy a lovely night out with my childhood friends. She apparently was so hungry he had to refill the bottle with another bag from the freezer stash. Holy growth spurt, kid!

[aggiebug]

Gah this used to be so easy! Australia and New Zealand was always my answer then H and I went last March and now I don't know what to say. Everywhere!

Probably a great tour of Europe I really want to go all over the UK, Greece, back to Denmark now that I am older, Italy omg Italy, Austria, back to Germany to take H to Berlin and for me to see other parts of the country...

[flyster]

Australia/New Zealand for sure. Id invite my sister, BIL and their baby along also although i'm not sure they'd be up for flying that far with their crazy active 18 month old.


Today we have LOs 4 month apt. Looking forward to official stats (weight/length). Not looking forward to shots.

[cougarette]

badw0lf Congrats on the sleep! I hope daycare continues to go well.

[cougarette]

I to would love a European vacation. But I think I'd start with 3 weeks in Ireland.

[cougarette]

The last two days the daycare ladies have gushed over DS saying that his personality is really coming out. He's so cute with his laughing and talking.

ETA (so I won't keep adding more posts, heh):

DS woke up twice last night - 3 and 5. He hasn't done that in a while. Of course I didn't get to sleep until about 11, so I'm super tired now.

Today is our monthly staff meeting where they provide lunch. Today is a fajita bar, woo hoo!

[mrsclark731]

Easy--H and I would go to Thailand. Alone. I want to play with a baby elephant, get $1 all day massages, fish pedicures, take in all the beautiful sights, and lay around on the beautiful beaches. We are going to do this before we are too old, we've already promised each other.

My spam--DD and I are heading down to Delaware to see my mom. I'm going to drop her off while I get a pedicure then I'll bring back lunch for us. Should be a nice visit!

[aggiebug]

And good morning! Today is just ahh get the house straight! get the laundry done! Get started packing! Day. Yes all the exclamation points are valid as I am in my pre travel mode lol!

I am currently wrapped H's father's day gift since we will be driving home that day and I am so excited about it.

[dacora]

I'd love to go to Japan with DH and DD. We're not real night life people so going with a baby shouldn't be too inconvenient.

My morning spam, holy crap child stop shoving your thumbs into your mouth while you're eating. It's not helping!

[osumegs]

Definitely Australia.

DD is doing so well now with eating and acting happy. We went to my sister's yesterday for a break from being stuck on the house. She was pretty whiny while there, but she also didn't want her morning nap yesterday so it made sense.

Tonight we are having mil over to play with the granddaughter I'm "hiding from her because I hate her" lol.

Oh, DH is dying to go skiing in Japan. That's my second choice!

flyster GL at appointment! It will go great, I'm sure.

badw0lf Sleep is almost always worth it

cougarette Fajitas!!!

mrsclark731 Happy trip!

ETA: There are currently two fire trucks and two ambulances parked across the street from me. I have no idea what's going on but no one seems to be in a hurry so I hope everyone is ok.

[michelle142]

I would spend my 3 weeks here (Fiji):


Drinking. Relaxing. And enjoying random naps in the sunshine with the ocean to lull me to sleep.

[michelle142]

My spam: My allergies are KILLING me. I can't remember if Zyrtec is safe to take while BF. My sinuses are dripping into my throat making it super sore. I love the weather this time of year but I loathe the stupid Cottonwood Trees and their allergy causing fuzz

[miniwheat]

I woke up with a swollen bottom eyelid and it hurts. It hurts to blink and to look around. Anyone else have this happen? Did it go away on its own? I don't want to rush off to the Dr just yet.
DS woke up 4 times last night and DD 1 time. It was the worst!

[miniwheat]

I think this might be lame but I don't think I would go an awesome trip without all of us.
I would pick visiting our friends and family in BC and then visit my best friend in California and take our families to the beach and Disneyland and all that touristy kind of stuff.

That's rough miniwheat! I haven't had this happen to me. I kind of freak out over eye stuff and would be calling my dr. Add to that your sleepless night :/ hope your eye issue resolves quickly

[anchovies]

I would do a tour of Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts and end the trip at any warm beach. I would bring DH and DS. I love my mom and my in laws but I would want all the baby cuddles.

We are on our family vacation in SC right now. We drove through the night Monday after I got out of work. DS slept great in the car all night but he's battling some GI virus he pooped 9x on Monday, lost count yesterday and he's already gone 4x today (only 9:20 here). He's still eating but he did throw up once yesterday. No fever but he's been off and on grumpy and had two big meltdowns yesterday. Poor guy.

[osumegs]

anchovies love the vacation part- hate that lo is sick. hope he feels better later today!

This happens to me all the time. I get hives ever since being pregnant with DD1. 

[cginge]

I'd go somewhere warm and tropical with no sharks or snakes or giant spiders, where I can lay on the beach/snorkel/go on hikes/eat delicious local food and have tasty drinks. I'd bring H, my sister, and maybe one of H's brothers to keep him company while I laze about with my sister. I'd bring LO too because I'm a sucker and I'd miss him.

FFWC? The batteries in LO's play gym are dying and the music is getting kind of slow but it cracks me up so I'm not changing them.

[WittyLittle]

DH and DS just came by my office to pick me up to tour the daycare. It looks like a great place and everyone is really nice it feels like a huge step, though luckily it's a 2 minute walk from my office so if there's ever a problem I'll be there in no time. My boys came to the office afterwards to meet everyone, which was really nice! But then they got to go home and I have to stay here and do stupid work Booooo!

[cginge]

anchovies, I hope LO feels better soon. We just got over something like that. So much green poop.

[WittyLittle]

woah holy crap! DH just messaged me that on his way back to the house from the bus one of our neighbours stopped him and told him "don't go down that street, some guy had a fight with his wife and stabbed her in front of one of their children" ... wtf?! Apparently there was screaming, police and chaos. Ugh... what the hell is wrong with people?!

miniwheat, maybe it's a stye?
aww poor LO anchovies, hope his tummy gets better

I am going to google what that looks like.
Thanks!

[lilyelayne]

miniwheat sometimes I get styes that feel that way. They typically resolve on their own in a week or two.

[miniwheat]

Thanks everyone! I am going to watch it for a day and if its not improving tomorrow I will just get my Dr to take a peek. I don't think its anything bad. Maybe my eyes are just trying to send the message they would like to be asleep more.

Sounds like Blepharitis and you may need antibiotic drops/ ointment.
