What, it's Wednesday? Spam :)

[WittyLittle]

Ohhhh yeh I beat everyone to creating spam (I think. I hope). What's happening???  

[aggiebug]

Good morning. I woke up with a headache boo, and apparently it's also a good day to be out of your mind fussy if you are dd. Today is getting organized day. Make sure all our clothes and necessary items are clean so I can pack, but at this moment that is more of a mental exercise than a physical one. I will sit in my comfy chair and think about what I want to get done.

I hear good preparation is the key to success!

I am good at mental preparation . But seriously lists are my life line, I start making lists days or weeks in advance and then the day of packing is so easy and I rarely forget things. But we also travel a lot so I think that helps too

aggiebug, was everything figured out OK with your ILs and traveling?

Yeah pretty much. We have our own car yay number one. H told them the basic plan so that worked well. Now it's just the expectation of going to two football games, mil did offer to watch DD for the 2nd but I am not sure I will have a bottle for her so I have to figure that out. There is also like a 70% chance of rain for the game Sat.

Another rainy fall day here... I'm hoping it clears up for the weekend and trick or treating.

Getting observed at work today. I'm excited to show my stuff!

I also have to figure out where I'm buying pan de muertos for my classes for day of the dead. I make it sometimes but no way, not this year.

Kick some butt today! And I always loved dios de los muertos in hs. I find the culture and traditions interesting.

[seamonster]

Starting a sugar detox to try to Kickstart weight loss since I've totally lost at this month's dietbet round. I didn't think it would be so hard, but now I want all the sweet things. A banana is just not the same as chocolate.

[hollydfromtn]

It's a rainy, gross day here but we're going to the library in a bit for baby and me time. Then we're taking lunch to H at his office. That's as far as I've planned today. The rest of the day will be spent playing in the floor and chasing my crawling baby all over the house. He is into literally everything now.

[lilyelayne]

Good luck, @holachica! You'll rock your observation I'm sure!
aggiebug headache here too. Boo.
danitaec when is LO's surgery? Today? Later this week?

It's right now. They said it'd be about an hour and a half. Waiting...

[pitdigger]

One week until G's first trans-Atlantic flight! Checked in for the EasyJet portions and checked baggage purchases and allowances. I think we'll be good.

Other than that, not too much here. Sleep is slowly improving with the drop in overnight humidity and heat. However, I've got something brewing , but it may just be weather related since we're a bit unsettled here.

Oh, and in terms of baby tricks, we get whole arm waves with 'ay' vocalizations to pretty much everyone, but smiles are added for all of the gym ladies.

Good luck. You're in the bassinet seats, right? Otherwise night flights are the worst with a baby.

Definitely in the bassinet.  We booked that early on for those legs.

YES!

danitaec Thinking of you! I hope everything goes well!

We had a slow morning and then went to the pool. DD loves to swim, but this pool wasn't as heated as the one we usually go to and mama got cold quick. Warm shower was a blessing! DD fell asleep the minute I put her in the stroller so I think she was pleased with the outing too

Don't mind me... moving to another thread.

[dreemkin]

danitaec hope it goes well today!

Remember our gas leak bc of our fireplace valve? We have a guy coming out to look at it and do an estimate this afternoon. We have a pretty good idea what it's gonna cost bc another place said they charge a flat fee for it. But I was reeeally looking forward to using it; old house didn't have one. So we will be getting it fixed. Hopefully soon bc it's been rainy and chilly and I'd love to have it going.

Otherwise just dreading going to work after almost two weeks off. I've seriously concidering calling and saying, "keep my stuff, I quit" and being a sahm. Buuut, something always keeps me going. The extra bit of cash helps too.

[dmorgendorffer]

danitaec hope the surgery goes smoothly and your LO isn't too cranky afterwards.

When I got home yesterday my now very mobile baby crawled from the living room to the entry way to greet me with a big smile on her face. It was super cute, but then she gets pissed if I don't pick her up as soon as I walk in. I guess we have hit the separation anxiety stage.

[cougarette]

Thinking gif tights, danitaec!

[cougarette]

^This should say thinking good thoughts. Imma leave it, tho.

[dmorgendorffer]

I tried to google a funny gif about tights and then realized some of the results were pretty NSFW. Whoops.

[danitaec]

We're on our way home now. Everything went well; he woke up really hard and was very uncomfortable at first. After some juice and pain mess he slept in my arms for about 90 minutes, then woke up in a better mood. He's asleep in his car seat, and they said he'd probably be pretty drowsy today. The incisions hurt my heart, especially the thing on his sac that's making the ball stay in place. Ouch. I'm off tomorrow already, but I think I may stay home Friday as well just to be close to him.

[GeekBeagle]

Well, here's how my day is going:

One of my dogs puked in my bed while I was in the shower this morning.

It took my nearly an hour to do my 20 min drive to work because it was raining and people can't drive.

Someone plagiarized my work and sent it to a large mailing list, passing it off as their own. This individual actually used to work in my department, but had been let go before I started 2.5 years ago and just recently got hired in a different department. Colleagues that used to work with him said he is notorious for this kind of thing.

I think I need some wine and/or chocolate.

I can't remember what line of work you're in. All I can say is: welcome to the club! That sort of thing happens ALL THE TIME at my work. Ugh. I'll join you on that wine, I got just the right bottle for it.
