Monday mutterings

[weasleymom]

Good morning, ladies! Anyone else up? I got up with DH today to help him get ready and can't go back to sleep. E is still asleep though, which is good. I'm hoping she feels better today. We missed out on all of the super bowl stuff (including the amazing menu I planned at my grandparent's house for the party) because E was sick. So, my mom brought leftovers home and I'm eating my chicken strips and baked jalapeno poppers for breakfast. I still made a pretty good dinner last night though: balsamic chicken and roasted red pepper hummus wraps. I tried making hummus and tortillas for the first time. The hummus turned out great, the tortillas, not so much. E wouldn't eat much at all yesterday, but she ate her fair share of hummus. She kept licking it off of her cracker and handing the cracker back to me for more.

What's on the agenda for today? 
If E's feeling better, we're going to go hang out at my grandparent's house. If not, I'm declaring it pajama day.

Good morning. I need to go back and catch up on this weekends threads but I'm awake with you!
Guess what? It's snowing again!
I'm excited I was just able to connect to my work computer so I'm able to work from home.
Hope everyone has a nice morning!

[88sharonlee]

Good luck at the doctors today lfigge
weasleymom B likes hummus too! Sounds like good food at your place, I ate nachos, a whole pint of Ben & Jerry's and about a bottle of wine for 'dinner' last night!

[weasleymom]

I hope she feels better soon, lfigge! FX for no EI!

E has been crying in her sleep for the last two nights, but she hasn't been playing with her ears at all. She's got a cold though, so I think she's just achy and can't get comfy. She was pretty irritated with the fact that she kept waking up.

It's miserable when they aren't able to sleep well.

[weasleymom]

88sharonlee, that's cool that you're able to connect to your work computer so you can work from home!

And that sounds like an amazing dinner to me (minus the wine, I don't care for wine). And. I totally forgot DH bought ice cream. I was going to have some after dinner, but it slipped my mind.

Is it too early for ice cream?

Poor sick babies. hope they're on the mend quickly!

The roads already have 2-3 inches. Thank god for DH - he left for work at 5:30 and then came home at 6 because the roads are bad and he knew my little civic would never et Evan to daycare. He's taking the day off work so that I can work from home without also taking care of Evan. Love that man.

Cherhorowitz what are you eating for breakfast since you start whole30 today?

[kellykinns]

Night with bonus kid went pretty well. Doug was up 2.5 hours because of his teeth I guess.

I think we are getting to a point where when Doug wakes up at night we need to let him settle himself even if he cries a little. I hate it but if we let him cry for a minute or two he goes back to sleep. if we intervene he requires rocking and soothing for almost 2 hours.

weasleymom & lfigge hope your LO's feel better soon!

ljgs1010 what a good H!

I'm taking V to the pedi today since she was sick a weekend. She seems better but still has a nasty cough that kept waking her up last night.

My office just implemented a new (stupid) no working from home policy, so I'll probably be taking a sick day.

[weasleymom]

I hope your LO feels better, @elvk583! Good luck at the appointment.

[kamakaziartist]

wtf does DS need to know what makes ten for this problem?

Good Morning Ladies!
I hope the sick babies feel better soon and everyone stays safe in the snow!
We made huge progress on the 'honey-do' list for B's arrival--still have a few odds and ends to wrap up, but I am in a good place with everything. Otherwise, H is teething like something crazy (she hasn't had a new tooth in several months, so we are overdue), I feel so bad for her .

Otherwise, not much else here. I hit 37 weeks on Thursday, so I spent the entire Superbowl bouncing on my birthing ball and eating bacon wrapped pineapple chunks.

Favorite Superbowl Commercia--the 'Run Like a Girl' ad. Brought me to tears and gave me lots of feels.

I'll probably do a veggie omelet.

Snow here. Now sleet. Snow returns in a few hours. I want everyone to stay home and cuddle up. But my H is going to the office today.

Cherhorowitz, that's what my view looks like for most of November-late April. Although, because the plows haven't made your snow all brown and yucky, your view is much prettier.

Good morning! Got to work and it was closed. Dropped DH off at work and LM at DC and am about to start shoveling. First goal is access to the snowmobile trailer so I can play!

I'm loving these snow pics!

kamakaziartist I think its trying to show him how to get to an easier number to add. Like if you take one fish from stan then meg has ten. Its easier to add 10 and 5 then it is 9 And 6. Does that make sense?

I get it. I still hate it.

[leopardgurl831]

weasleymom jalapeno poppers sound amazing right now!

kamakaziartist they are trying to make it easier though it looks harder. My Mom (a math teacher) taught me to do Math like that and I still do to this day.

Math made so much more sense when I was in school. This stuff confuses the hell out of me.

Snowed in here as well! School was canceled for my oldest, so we have a full house today. I'm hoping for a slow day do I can catch up on N13.

I'm working on a project for a beauty industry TV personality and they have given me almost free creative license. I love all my work, but this is bringing my fine art side back to life and it's a lot of fun!

We've had two sick kiddos over here as well and I think we are just coming out of the fog. Sleepless nights can suck it.

I need to catch up on these vacc threads. We had some uproar in a local natural moms group I'm in and it makes crazy.

kamakaziartist Seems to me it would be easier to learn what 9+6 is rather than always having to group everything in 10s. I've never heard of common core, guess I better learn it for when Cadence is in school....of course by then it will be called something else and will be done some other whacked out way.

Right? I'm having to just check his answers because the way to get there confuses me. I am of no help except to tell him his answer is right or wrong.

Also I had a dream that I was going to NY for work, so I was going to hit up Foxy, but then cgmb informed me that they would be at ladies hockey camp with a bunch of other bumpies (probies?). I remember thinking how impressed I was that she still played hockey while pregnant, and wishing I lived closer so I could play too.

I think my subconscious is telling me to probe more often. Or get into hockey.

[klongoria11]

Cadence came to bed with me at 9:45. She slept fine, but she almost crawled off the bed in her sleep at one point. Scared the crap out of me. Her diaper also leaked, so I guess I need to go up a size in her overnights. Really, I need to go up a size in her day time diapers too, but I'm trying to get through this last pack of 3s first.
I'm sitting at work. Waiting impatiently for the coffee to finish brewing.
I am not jealous of anyone's snow. It just looks cold....too cold.

That's real life. cgmb and I are in a women's hockey league.

My cleaning lady came today, much to my surprise. I told her we weren't expecting her today and if it's ever bad weather, she doesn't have to come. She said, "I didn't have to come? Can I go home?" Oh.

I laughed uncomfortably. She told me it's supposed to get really bad again around 2 but she will be long home by then. I *think* she's taking a half day?
