It's definitely a boy. He's just never trusted us enough to get a close look. We did a distance peak when we took him in and thought it was a girl but now that he lets us touch him I am 90%sure it's a boy.
It's the Halloween costume parade at my school today so I'm taking baby in to see the kids and show off his Darth Vader costume. This afternoon we need to do some major cleaning to get ready for the party Saturday and my husband says he's actually going to paint the places on the stairs that need fixed. Fingers crossed.
I think the girl cat we rescued might actually be a boy. I'm not sure but I think those are really really small balls on him/her.
This reminded me of a random funny story that my friend has where she lost her black cat then thought she found her cat but it turned out to be the completely wrong cat. She figured it out when her real cat showed up a week later and was friendlier. The wrong cat was freaking the F out in her house peeing on everything and clawing on her furniture.

This totally reminded me of random nightmares I have every so often where I lose my cats, and they come back, but I can't tell if they're imposters or not. Gives me anxiety every time and your post just made me realize this is a recurrent nightmare of mine, haha.
@poppyc8 that's so funny! Cats all look similar to me I can tell dogs apart but not most cats.
its hard to tell cats apart that don't have any distinct markings. Like her cat was just skinny and black. I don't have a cat now but when I did I usually choose one w marks. My last cat was super cute and all white w a black 'mohawk' strip down the top of her head.

Another random: My nephew is a freshman at McGill in Montreal and he can't come home on Thanksgiving because his professor is giving a midterm that day and refusing to give makeups.
Fine, we all agreed we'd celebrate Thanksgiving on Friday instead. I'm talking to my sister yesterday and I ask her can we do Thanksgiving early on Friday like at 2 or 3, because we don't want the baby to get to bed later than 8 pm and have to drive home about an hour from my parents house.
She basically said what are you smoking, everyone works on Friday and we can't do it earlier. So I told her that if it's going to be after 5:30 on Friday we can't come. And she says I shouldn't treat the baby like he's made of glass. But you're not the one that's gonna be up all night with a crying baby if his schedule is thrown off. So now they are thinking Saturday to celebrate thanksgiving which I think it stupid and pointless at this point.
What do you guys think? Am I being difficult? Is she being nasty?

You are brave for bringing baby into the germ factory known as school!
I was working one on one with a kid who kept coughing and not covering his mouth. I want to shower now.

I see both sides, but it sounds like if you want to be a part of the family Thanksgiving, you'll need to bend somewhere. I do think your sister could take a different tone and be less judgmental for sure, because she is not helping the compromise. That being said, do what works for you. If you want baby in bed on time that Friday night, then do that. It'll mean either missing some or all of the family get together though, or you'll have to agree to do it on Saturday, since it sounds like the only other option since they are trying to accommodate both your cousin and you.
Thanks for being honest. I guess the problem is I don't want to be a part of it at all. I don't know how and when I became so resentful toward my family, but now it seems impossible to undo.

I am super dizzy today and don't know why. I feel fine, other than the fact that if I try to stand up, I immediately need to grab onto something to keep my balance. Today's walk through should be fun for me

holliberry28, If I were you I'd agree to do it Saturday. You're already waiting one day, what's one more? Even though she's not being very nice and respectful about DB's schedule, at least she's offering to change the day for you if needed.

Went to the doctor today and the verdict is in - Strep throat! Ugh
We were there for so long that DB was totally melting down by the time we got home. I hope he sleeps for at least 2 hours and I can just eat junk food and drink ginger ale in bed!

I'm so sorry. That sounds so painful! I hope you have a quick recovery

+1 to this
And I hope you feel better really soon, carolyngrace!!
We are doing fall family photos this weekend. A friend is starting her journey into photography and offered us a session, with all the digital prints for 25$! I hate posed pictures but it'll be nice to get some good ones of the three of us! Hopefully it doesn't rain for it!
I am so excited for our daycare's Halloween parade too but its not until tomorrow. Today was pajama day and in DD's classroom it was pure magic; every kid was so excited to show off what he/she was wearing. Tomorrow will be so much better!

Saturday sounds like it is the best you are going to get.
Since we met our high deductible on our insurance, my elective tonsillectomy is 100% covered by insurance. DH said there will be changes to our policy next year and said if I wanted it done, so it asap (2 weeks) so we have the coverage for any complications. The recovery is said to be painful and for 10 days. I'm totally feeling like a chicken right now. I want to but the thought that I CHOSE to have surgery right now after just having DS seems silly. (L&D was painful!) Decisions, decisions!
I had miso soup, california roll, white rice, chicken teriyaki, and vegetable and shrimp tempura. so good! I love having options when I eat, so the perfect meal is always a little bit of this, a little bit of that. Bento boxes are perfect for me!
thanks Kristykristyleelee, because of this post, I also ordered a chicken teriyaki bento box. Can't wait for it to be delivered.
Speaking of belligerent kids... We took DS1 to meet with a child psychologist last night, after the incident at school when punched a kid a couple of weeks ago. Loved the doc. But he told us he's worked with hundreds of kids that age with anger issues and DS1's anger is "extremely intense" and he isn't confident therapy alone will help him, unless DS comes to realize the therapy is about changing himself and not trying to get the doctor to side with him. He's not telling us it's hopeless but he didn't sound particularly confident either. It made me very sad and I just don't understand why my kid is so angry. I feel like having the new baby has somehow pushed him over the edge and made all sorts of things come out and feel guilty about it.

The pop,soda,coke all made me laugh! I call everything "coke". Our belongings are finally being moved back in the house!!!!!!!!! After a month and half!!! I'm so excited. I need to be there but have nobody to watch Mal tomorrow. Ugh! Is it bad that I don't let any great grands but my nana keep him. Not my Mamaw and not DHs nana. My nana is the only one I really trust and she is out of town.
@jimbobcooter,I hope everything gets easier with your DS. Growing up I had a lot of anger issues that started when my little sister was born. It took me a long time to learn how to control it. I never saw that what I was doing was wrong, I always felt like the victim and that it was the fault of everyone else. Hopefully your DS can learn to channel his anger into a different outlet.
