10 things Tuesday!

[jessila]

1. Owen got his 2 month vaccines yesterday.
2. Sleeping last night was terrible.
3. He just fell asleep for a nap in my arms.
4. He feels feverish but it's too early to give him more tylenol.
5. I should be napping, too.
6. It's strange to see my friends Facebook updates about preservice week for work since I'm not there.
7. I'm super grateful to be able to take extra time off work before going back.
8. I'm getting my haircut tomorrow for the first time since March!!
9. I have no idea how to get my haircut.
10. Whenever the baby is really upset the dog brings him a bone. When the baby doesn't take it, the dog chews the bone for him.

[Widget123]

1. I've been in two car accidents in the past month and both cars still aren't fixed.
2. I know I am an impatient person in general but all of this constant calling of insurance companies and body shops is driving me nuts.
3. I talked about the first car accident in a prior 10TT. The second one I was hit by someone on the way to driving DD to the pool for some mother-daughter time. We never made it to the pool
4. The person who hit me was obviously a drug dealer. He insisted that he had to go make a delivery before the cops came and that he would come back.
5. I got a pic of his insurance, driver's license, license plate, etc. before he left, but I was shocked when he came back.
6. I am swear I am not a horrible driver, although DH is convinced these accidents are at least partially my fault.
7. I am getting a haircut too jessila; actually its in 15 minutes. And OMG your dog is so cute to do that.
8. I've been feeling a lot more emotional about my return to work than with DD, part of which I saw coming.
9. My boss and my peer are leaving soon and I can't stand the replacement boss and am fairly confident the replacement peer will be very inexperienced. I feel like I need a change.
10. I haven't been able to spend as much time with LO after work as I would like and it makes me sad.

[Flick]

1. I bragged about how well M slept.

2. Now her schedule is weird.

3. Been up since 3.

4. NOT ONE SINGLE NAP.

5.

6. She's so cute and happy though.

7. FML

8. I think her eyes are starting to shut.

9. I'm too awake to nap now.

10. Hopefully tonight is better.

[sugarkissed]

1. We got a 5 hour stretch of sleep last night!! I know that a lot of you are getting way better than that, but after a week of hourly wake ups I feel human again today!

2. I'm in such a good mood that I went through the trouble of making DD1's breakfast look like a teddy bear. Haha.

3. She does this new thing in which instead of actually laughing, she says "funny". It's hilarious.

4. We took both kids to the paediatrician yesterday for their 2 month/2 year checkups. DD1 is tiny and baby is huge!

5. We sold my old car and the new owner is coming to pick it up today. I much prefer my new one, but I'm a bit sad to say goodbye to the car I took on so many road trips and brought DD1 home in.

6. I need to get dressed and get to the gym.

7. I'm going to a wedding this weekend and have NOTHING to wear. Any tips on nice dresses that are nursing friendly?

8. On the radio last night they were talking about a study that says when a dad helps more with the children, the parents have better sex lives. So during LO's notorious witching hour he picked her up and tried to calm her... he normal just hands her to me and assumes she's hungry.

9, My coffee machine isn't working. This is unacceptable.

10. I'm planning DD1's 2nd birthday. I'm pretty sure she was just born... how is this happening?!

[littlemissgrump]

1. Dutch Bros by my work today was having a 9 punch event today but you have to get a large coffee. I can handle that!

2. Glad I have a large iced coconut mocha because the neighbors started demo on their driveway at 7 am. No thanks to jackhammers that early.

3. Especially after LO wanted to party between the hours of 3 & 4 last night.

4. Uptown Funk is my jam this week.

5. All 3 of my friends who are pregnant or brand new mom's want me to watch their babes when they return to work. I think I can actually pull it off.

6. LO has an elephant lovey that he actually hold and snuggles with. It is way too cute.

7. I think I'm getting a cold. Do not want.

8. It might actually be from all the smoke in the air. So thankful for all the firefighters out there and hoping for a lot of rain soon.

9. I'm going to start playing volleyball again. I hope I am still good!

10. And speaking of exercise, we got an elliptical. It will be so great not having to go to the gym.

[stinybean]

jessila that's so cute what your dog does!
Widget123 I'm sorry about your cars. I hope you're okay. My car was totaled out a week ago and we're still waiting for the check to clear in order to get a new one.
sugarkissed I got a halter top dress for a wedding it was the easiest to just untie. It was hard to find anything else.
littlemissgrump I love coconut coffee! Yum!

1. Both J and I were falling asleep during her last bottle.
2. I don't know why we're both so tired? We already had a nap.
3. I discovered last week I can't have caffeinated coffee because it makes J a witch!
4. I also cannot have broccoli because she gets super gassy.
5. I find it so funny that what I eat effects her, even though it makes sense.
6. Everytime I use the words affect and effect I have to replace them with their definition to make sure it's the right one to use. I still don't always know.
7. I'm worried about going back to work because I feel so stupid lately and I don't know how I'm going to teach when my brain doesn't work.
8. I have to go to the teacher store to get supplies for decorating this year.
9. Last year I had a minion theme.
10. This year I think I'm doing a forest theme or rainbow. I haven't decided.

[thecatsmeow]

jessila, love your dog story! So cute!
Joolschweets, I like gif posts, awesome!

1. I wanted an egg on toast and OJ this AM. Fussy boy said no.
2. Fussy boy fell asleep. Yay! Except it was about 15 before leaving to visit a friend.
3. Talked to friend, arranged to visit later when he wakes up.
4. Leaving the garage and friend calls to say her daughter is on the tail end of a cold. Ugh.
5. Decide to swing by for a quick chat in the driveway instead. Her daughter was very congested, poor thing.
6. But we made these plans yesterday... wasn't she sick then? And it was my friend's idea...
7. Baby boy looked so cute though and I was sad no one got to see his outfit.
8. So I changed him and he'll wear it on our errands tomorrow.
9. And for HDBD if I can get it to work on the iPad this week.
10. Now I have a happy boy and out we go for a walk!

[wegrowsheep]

1. I was going to do a mommy chat/kids playdate at the park this morning. I forgot.

2. My livingroom has been taken over by a new couch, laundry, and a "dragon airplane" project.

3. New couch is a nice $400 leather love seat + chaise lounge from DH's work. It was $11 because of "discoloration."
4. Said couch is covered in laundry, currently.
5. I haven't picked out a reading curriculum for DD yet.
6. Now I'm not convinced we need one. Lots of free stuff online.
7. I had to microwave my chai twice today.
8. I have at least 30 lbs of tomatoes I need to sell ASAP

9. I would happily accept Starbucks cards in place of cash.
10. It's canning/freezing season, and I have 200 lbs of fruit to process, but the pickles and pepperoncinis are done.

[wifedeangel]

1. DD woke up twice last night from nightmares but I still wouldn't let her get in bed with H and me.
2. I did comfort her and tuck her back in though.
3. Almost every time, about 15 minutes before Baby Boy wants to nurse, my boobs ache and I have a let down.
4. Our bodies are amazing.
5. I'm at IKEA with a friend now.
6. Actually, she's in ikea and I'm in the parking lot in the car with sleeping kids.
7. She's going to get us cinnamon rolls though.
8. Normally I love Fall, but I'm not ready for it this year.
9. Mostly because with a tiny baby it puts a cramp in our plans.
10. And also Fall leads to Winter, which I hate.

[wegrowsheep]

@jemomma I'm with you on the new wardrobe. My clothes "fit" but are clearly for someone with a flatter tummy and less generous hips.

My #11 is that I have a million things to do, so I need to hire a babysitter so I can take a nap.

[musicfrk2002]

1. Ended up in the ER yesterday morning with gall bladder pain. After dealing with it for 5 hours. Of course, the pain went away after being there for 10 minutes.

2. The ER doc referred me to a surgeon at a different hospital, then my PCP didn't like that and wants me to go to someone else.

3.i am pretty sure I can't even have surgery right now with my heart problems.

4. Also waiting on a call back from the dentist. Broke a tooth last week and I think it might be getting infected.

5. Really sick of dr visits.

6. J is super cranky this afternoon.

7. He is currently napping on me. So much for running errands today.

8. Maybe I should take a nap too.

9. Probably will, once I catch up here and with my email.

10. Have a good day!

[tiffbot]

Last night..

1. Our power was out for 3.5 hours, from 4:30pm-8

2. No big deal in the summer right? Except my H was away at their beginning of the year staff golf party and they were all coming back to our house after for supper.

3. This is around 50 people.

4. Good news is, their party committee was supplying the food, we were just supplying the house.

5. I texted H to let him know and he had to pull a total dad move and let everyone know 'if you have to go to the bathroom, please do it now!' as it was a major widespread outage and our water was shut off.

6. Supper was going to be later than we normally do, so I fed DS crackers, cheese, fruit. I could have used the BBQ to warm things up, but DD was crying and I was feeling a little flustered, and just let DS give er on his favourite snacks.

7. To conserve water, I then wiped DS down in baby wipes to clean all the food off him.

8. I plugged my phone into the van because as luck would have it, I was down to 2% battery.

9. When the power came on at 8, the party was hanging out in our garage and backyard and the garage lit up. The entire crowd cheered.

10. It ended up being a pretty good night after all

[erbear]

1. My husband is "taking a break" right now instead of washing the bottles and finishing dinner like I asked him to while I nurse LO. I'm not sure what he's taking a break from; he's on paternity leave...
2. I'm maybe feeling a bit murderous right now...
3. I worked a half day yesterday and I know I made the right choice not going back to that school full time.
4. The people in my Target now recognize me and my child.
5. I may randomly go to Target when I'm bored.
6. I just started watching Gilmore Girls a few weeks ago and I'm on season 3 already.
7. A friend shared a judge-y post about snacks for your kids and I'm kind of sad she shared it.
8. I'm mostly ready to just delete Facebook, though. I'm tired of seeing people liking really stupid things, and my mother in law saying she likes Donald Trump's ideas.
9. I bought a gel top coat nail polish and two days later, my nails are already super chipped. Sigh.
10. I had my teeth cleaned today and I, again, have really clean teeth but inexplicable cavities. I can't afford the four separate visits they want for me to fill the cavities, either, so it looks like I'll continue my pattern here.

The way I used to remind my students was that if it's an "A"ction, then it's "A"ffect, since that one is the verb. If they remember that, then they automatically can conclude that effect is the noun.

I usually say affect is change, effect is result.

[kemdupuis]

1.B had an ultrasound this morning at the hospital to check for hip dysplasia

2. B doesn't have hip dysplasia!

3. He peed all over the ultrasound tech while she was checking him. I *may* have laughed a little as I was apologizing

4. I have an addiction to buying B clothes. Bought 2 more outfits at Gymboree today

5. Tonight is my first night alone with B. DH is on a business trip in Missouri.

6. I think I miss being pregnant.

7. DH made hazelnut coffee this morning (my favorite). It made me so happy!

8. I'm going to eat watermelon for dinner.

9. I've finally gotten into a pumping schedule that is allowing me to stockpile some for when I go back to work next month

10. I have such an overwhelming love for B, it's so crazy. I never thought I could love someone so much.

[ravinraven216]

1. It turned chilly here in the mornings and I couldn't find any pants for DS. I found a long sleeved onesie and tucked him up in a warmer blanket and went on an emergency pant run after work.
2. The long sleeved onesie I took out of his dirty laundry. It was a 9 month size and was distressingly serviceable. He's only 11 weeks old.
3. DS discovered his gag reflex yesterday. He discovered it all over both of us.
4. DH had an internal job interview for a job that is a promotion and on first shift.
5. When DS spat up all over DH this evening I felt not the least bit sorry.
6. I received an updated teacher contract for 2 years instead of 1.
7. I can't see them, but my dog might be eating the cat at the moment.
8. Tres Leches cake eases the afternoon productivity slump.
9. I just ate a whole bag of popcorn and regret nothing.
10. We're going to attempt to make DS a basic outfit for the Ohio Renaissance Faire for Labor Day. It's going to be super cute.

I think I missed this day in school. I just used whichever looked correct, but now I know!

Are we married to the same person? How does someone need multiple breaks to wash two day's worth of dishes for two people? DH always tells me his feet hurt. Just finish the job!!

DH said he loved it growing up. I'm guessing you've gone before. Is it fun for adults as well?

Mine likes to tell me that "I do it better." So now I call him out on it - "please do the dishes and don't tell me I do them better!" Lol, no.

[pghtruelove]

erbear the people at my target know me by name now! And the Target Starbucks just gives me my price when I walk in. I love Target. I'm there Every. Single. Day.

Oh i miss Target
It came to Canada for all of 2 years...enough to get me hooked before they closed them all. Why, Canadians, why did you not love target?!

That's so sad. :-(

I live like five minutes from mine but I love love love that there are five targets I can go to within twenty minutes from my house! I worked for target back in the day and they really were a great company to work for.

I always have a great time and go every year. DH and I met in college where we were members of OSU's Renaissance Faire troupe, so I may be a bit biased. Labor Day has BOGO tickets and I think kids under 12 are free. We might go in October, too.

The Swordmen show is my favorite - sometimes I go to all of their shows during the day.

Not bad prices at all - I may have to pick up a couple for DH's birthday.
