WFH today, and of course DS is being super clingy. I imagine I'll still have lots of work to do this evening after DH gets home and can be on baby duty.

[lilyelayne]

cougarette how'd your innovation presentation go?

[kaydee0402]

lilyelayne, ditto to the clingy baby. Someone else mentioned it on the Facebook group as well. Is there a full moon this week?

Hey girls! Just finished running some errands now I have to finish cleaning the house. Livin the dream lol. My SIL is going to take DDs Christmas pictures on Wednesday so I'm super excited about that! Other than that, nothing to report.
lilyelayne and aggiebug my BIL and SIL have a little dog that they let sit on their laps when we're eating. It grosses me out. They also let him eat off their forks and plates. We don't sit next to them at family dinners. Yuck.

Poor little sick babies PikoPiko and jensoprano82 I hope they both get better soon!
Also thinking of your friends, PikoPiko. That must have been a heartbreaking decision. I'm sorry for their loss.

::waves:: hiiiiii!!!

I never get on here anymore. It bums me out.

Hope everyone is well!

We're wallowing in germs over here. Ear infections, colds and gallons of snot. I am basically a human tissue.

In other news - DD's daycare decided to close. Mainly because the owner is a b-word. (for real, she is).

So we had to scramble to find new care. We ended up at an in home daycare. It's not my ideal situation, but it will be ok for now until she's old enough to go where DS goes - which will be in August.

The in home has 2 large golden retrievers that make me a bit nervous. Aside from being covered in hair whenever she goes there, the dogs come and go as they please in the area where the kids are. I know goldens are good dogs, but it still makes me a little nervous.

Pear sauce made to give DS a break from bananas for breakfast. Maybe he'll enjoy oatmeal again if I mix some in. Or at the very least he won't spit it out and throw it.

I've come to the conclusion that DS is merely investigating gravity and gathering data to do a weibull analysis of how many times he can drop his spoon on the floor before mommy takes it away. Also he's studying spoon trajectories. My little scientist.

I totally get being nervous about the dogs.  Our first daycare was in-home and she had a dog too.  What made me mad was in the interview, she told me the dog was always either upstairs or outside and never around the babies.  When I did a surprise early pick up a couple of times, that was not case.  So she totally lied about it.  It wasn't the dog that bothered me so much as the blatant lying.

All you wfh mamas make me wish I could teach from home. My mom texted this morning that my grandmother (who lives with them), had been up sick all night. My husband left for the week to work out of town, so I was stuck burning a sick day to stay home with my baby. We've hung out in our sweats, napped together, and generally been lazy. I love it.

We did have to get out and about to buy a shelf for the baby monitor. Three mornings in a row the little stinker has knocked it off its perch, and I don't know how much more it can stand.

DH is off this week so it will be nice to have him around a bit. Having someone else around during the day motivates me to tidy and clean so I don't look like a lazy ass.

LO has her top front teeth coming in. She's a bit annoying but nothing too crazy...yet.

Thanks for asking! It was great - we got 3rd place. I don't know if we'll split the prize ($50 amazon gift card) or each get one. Either way, yay!

And it's something we can use right away.

We had a very nice, relaxing weekend. We went to some of our favorite wineries and to the Sierra Nevada brewery for the first time.

I also finally started 11/22/63 and am really enjoying it so far. Not really a spoiler, but just in case:

SPOILER: Click to show

I loved the It references! It makes me want to reread it

I have a mil rant, but I may post that in the rambling thread.

[lilyelayne]

cougarette yay for 3rd place! I've had 11/22/63 on my kindle since it came out, but I haven't read it. I tried but the King book I read prior was the Dead Zone so I think the premises were too close.

[seamonster]

Quest more daytime milk is helping. Still need to work on sleep training so H can get him down without me and without a bottle if he wakes up an hour after bedtime while I'm at my yoga class.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

I'm cold. Our heat isn't working (again) and we are waiting on the burner company. It's 66 which is warmish but feels cold. Poor r is sleeping I hope they come before its too cold for him

[tortor4]

2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) oh no! I hope it's a quick fix.

[2mrsks (mrs&mrsk)]

Last time it was an hour and they aren't even here yet

Lol! That was one of my favorite parts too. I googled so much with that book. The It stuff first bc my memory of that is hazy. But I got very into jfk stuff. Especially the Nola connections.
