I donated blood for the first time a couple of months ago. Since then I have received approx 1,000,000,000,000 calls from them asking me to donate again. I don't even have a rare blood type (I don't think? B+).
They always call at inopportune times so I can't tell them to remove my number. And it's different everytime so I can't just call back. I'm not even sure if it's the local chapter or what. They're really making it less likely that I'll donate again.
Hugs for all the rough mornings. The past few days have been like that for me. Just nothing going right (but thankfully no car accidents! So sorry danitaec).

After a great night of sleep on Monday we had a shitty night last night. Ugh I'd kill for some consistency. Ive been sitting in my car for over an hr because baby fell asleep 2 min into our 20 min drive and will wake up if I turn the car off and he needs a good nap. Thank god for smart phones!
Worked from home this morning cos I couldn't be arsed to actually go into the office. I'm still sick, but a bit better now. This afternoon I have to go in for sure, but the bed is so comfy, it's calling my name! Ugh, I have half an hour to get there before my next call.
Just made an appt with a dietician for DS. This milk strike is getting so ridiculous, I really need to know what I should be doing, more solids vs reduce solids til he drinks his milk.
It's my bday this weekend. We skipped our anniversary a few weeks ago cos I was sick. So this weekend I simply just NEED to be well enough to celebrate!
danitaec may I ask what you're on? I had a lot of issues with switching meds and tapering too fast can leave you feeling funky.
Lexapro. He said to do every other day for two weeks and then every third day until they're gone. I still have about half the pack left but I've been doing every third day for a while. The nurse said to stop them completely now.
danitaec sorry about the crash, that really stinks!
V is finally napping and I am taking a moment for myself before tackling some much needed chores. Plus I need to finish diaper laundry. And work from home a bit. But those can wait. Yay for small breaks though!
cougarette B+ is kind of "rare". About 15% of the population has it. I am B+ too and I got pestered a lot when I donated regularly. I'd like to get back to doing it but, no spare time over here.
I just made a trip over to TD F15 and whoa it is dead. I didn't realize it was dying like it is. Did they jump ship elsewhere?
I wonder how Parenting & the other BMBs active during the TCF exodus fared. I also wonder how new BMBs here are doing. As we get into each new month I've been posting on the BMB pointing people to the BF board, but I don't really lurk to see what's going on, and usually at that point it's just a bunch of birth stories.

Work has been stressing me out. It's really nothing major. Ultimately, people just need to respect my time. That and having continual brain farts in life make me feel like I'm not really excelling at anything right now.
Oh, and I found out that DS's daycare teacher no longer works there at all now. If you remember from a previous post, she had hurt her neck and had been reassigned to an older room because she couldn't lift babies. Well, someone new has been training to close and I asked the head teacher if that meant DS's teacher was permanently in the older room, to which she replied that she was totally gone. I didn't push further because she didn't seem to want to talk about it, but I told DH and he thinks it's unprofessional that they didn't say anything to us. He's going to say something when he does drop off tomorrow, so hopefully we'll have more info.
Oh, and since we're brand new to teeth - what do you all do to clean your LOs' teeth?
We've got a finger brush we try to use. Additionally, my dentist said to try and at least get a damp wash cloth in to wipe the tooth.
Cool. I bought one of those finger brushes, but have not used it yet. And, I've rubbed his tooth/gums with a wash cloth at bathtime. So I guess I'm doing ok (when I remember).
Oh, and since we're brand new to teeth - what do you all do to clean your LOs' teeth?
Our pedi said to wipe with a damp cloth until the tooth is fully in. Then we can continue with the cloth or move on to a finger brush. Thanks for reminding me cause I haven't been cleaning DS's new tooth, not that there's too much above the gum line to clean yet.

Cool- I might hold off on the finger brush for a bit then. I keep forgetting too because I'm not used to it, haha!
