Happy President's Day! Today is also a bank holiday so no school! My O slept like crap last night and is currently passed out on my boob. I wish I could move so I could sleep more but I know it will wake him. O and I might go paint pottery today with my sister and her friends. We will be going to look at more couches. It's already snowed about an inch. I'm the crazy teacher hoping school is on time tomorrow; I haven't seen my Tuesday morning classes for a month. I only see each class one time a week so I have zero grades and midterm is next week.
No day off for us, but today is off to a pretty good start so far, so I'll take it. DS had the perfect reaction to Monday when I went into his room to wake him this morning. He had been sleeping on his tummy, so he held his head up real high, gave me a smile, sad "ah gah bah" and then face planted into the mattress. That's my kid! Also, it's supposed to be super warm by the end of the week (upper 40's/low 50's), so happy Monday everyone!
@jimbobcooter I'm so sorry about your dog. It's never easy.
Yesterday, due to the frigid temps, we stayed snuggled inside all day with slow cooker chicken enchilada soup. It's a bit warmer today, so we might try to get out for a bit..maybe lunch? DH is off so he was able to help with the morning feeding/ breakfast.
Woohoo for tomorrow being 50 degrees, but.....it's supposed to rain. How does it go from -9 to 50 degrees in a matter of days?! Counting down to our TX trip!

Dinner at my parents got cancelled last night so we are going over tonight for dinner. Hopefully we can find something to do beforehand Jules is way more fussy if we stay home all day than if we go do something.
We are going to be making a day trip with my parents to visit my siblings. It's not quite a 2 hour drive both ways, so will be leaving soonish and spending the whole day there. Hoping to go hang out at the Science Centre and see what else we can do fun for the kids!

DD is 8 months today! And to celebrate, my debit card was cancelled because there was ~$150 of fraudulent purchases made on it yesterday-__- I hope you enjoyed your shoes, clothes, and gas, person whole stole my money. Luckily my bank says the $$ will be back in my account within 48 hours but I have to wait for a new card in the mail:( And it was one of those stupid chip cards that are supposedly "safer"....I call bullshit!
Happy Family Day! Winter Break for DH so he'll be home all week which is nice. I plan to clean house and play with baby today. If I get super ambitious maybe I'll get to work on all the scrapbook pics I printed.
Ugh mrsmonogrammed, that's awful! DH has had his identity stolen a few times, and luckily no major problems getting money back.
No holiday for me. Traffic was super light, though, so I was able to stop and get gas and still be on time to work! I took Friday off for a "me" day, and it's supposed to be 60ish degrees. I'm so excited!
My parents are meeting me for lunch today since my mom has the day off for President's Day, so that's nice to have a free lunch without a child hanging on me.
Nothing crazy here - a little house work, yoga and a Target run. I looked at the wonder week app this morning since this leap is kicking a lot of our butts and saw this note. Thought it is a good reminder since a handful of our babies are being crappy nursers
mrsmonogrammed- that SUCKS. Glad you'll be refunded, but still. It's happened to me once before, and it is such a PITA to change all the card numbers on different automatic draft accounts. Ugh. Good luck with all of that.
It's a rainy, gross Monday here. I don't have school, so B and I are hanging out at home. So far, I've spilled coffee on our beige carpet and run a measuring cup through the garbage disposal. Hoping things improve throughout the day. We might attempt a target run later, but maybe not.
Hope everyone that is at home has a nice day with their families! Hope it's a good Monday for those of you that are working!

It's 7am and I'm still in bed! I just finished nursing BH and DH whisked him away so I could get more sleep. The house is quite enough that I don't think LBB is up yet. He hasn't slept past 6:30 in years!
I think we're taking the boys to the children's museum today. Aaaaaaaand LBB just woke up.
I'm surprised that you mention the chip as if it's unusual, though. All credit and debit cards have been chip & pin over here for about ten years. I just assumed it was the same everywhere!
L is eight months old today too. I can't believe how fast it's going.
It's half term here so none of our usual classes are on this week. Instead we met friends for a cuppa, went to my parents' for lunch, and had a lovely walk in the sunshine. Now I'm trying to persuade L to play quietly for a bit, but she'd rather shout about everything.

txngrl31, We had a great time! We visted some friends, did the zoo and the butterfly place (LO loved it there so much!!!) and spent most of our time eating and shopping. Beautiful weather too at the end of the week.

Another 8 month old here today too! This, combined with DD1 sleeping in a bed instead of crib for the first time this week has me feeling all of the feels and second guessing my decision to have only 2 kids... haha.

We're home today, Monday is SOs regular day off. His son is here for an extra day though because of the holiday, which is so nice because he is Jasmine's legit fav person on the face of the planet! She is all giggles and glee with this boy
I made a huge breakfast
and now we're being lazy til SO and LO both have doctor appointments this afternoon. I had one too actually but rescheduled it because seriously with the 3 in 1 day thing??? Nah, I'll pass. Going in for my 3rd cup of coffee, woopee!
I'm really excited about the weather this week. It's supposed to be 37° F today, so we are walking to the grocery store this afternoon. mrsmonogrammed, sorry to hear that happened! DH had something similar last month. I hope you get everything straightened out and your new card in the mail soon! purple, I think the chips in cards are pretty new over here. We're still using the magnetic strips, which is what my debit card is. I didn't even really know about chips until DH got one for his card this last fall.

Nothing too exciting here. The only holidays I get off work are the big ones, and still sometimes have to work Christmas day.
It snowed all day yesterday, and it's supposed to be in the 50s friday and saturday?! You'd think I would be used to this crazy Midwest weather by now.
A full time position at work finally opened up, at a station 30 minutes north of me instead of the 15 minutes south I'm currently driving. Decent pay increase, but I don't think I'm going to end up taking it. I talked with one of the drivers that I know there and it sounds like it's usually 10 to 12 hour days most of the time, and back to a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. So I would only see J Saturday nights, sundays, and mondays, plus we would have to find a different daycare since our current one is right by my work.
We were up at 445 this morning. Why J why... but al least he fell back to sleep after his bottle until 8.
mrsmonogrammed at least it was only $150. The last time I had a card compromised it was over $3000!
@jimbobcooter, sorry about your dog. Having to put a pet down is always rough
tjanca22 I thought the molten lava ended yesterday?
$3k?! I might have had a heart attack! I'm glad that the amount of $$ they took doesn't have an impact on my everyday spending/life or I would probably not be as calm;)

Yes, I didn't want a dumb chip card- they take so much longer to check out with and I just generally find them to be a hassle, but my bank sent me one anyway last October. It's a fairly new thing here...my other debit card is still just the strip one. I'll miss it when it's gone:'(

I was driving when I got the message from my bank and had to pull over. Thankfully, it was all taken care of in about a week plus I was making more than what I was spending at the time so it wasn't too rough. It was someone buying a ton of ski equipment online.
My kid shows no desire to crawl. If I lay her on her stomach, she flips back over. All she wants to do is stand. All the time. Every time I try to sit her on the floor, put her in her car seat, lay her down...she puts her legs down and pushes until she is standing with support. But she doesn't know how to pull up yet. She's getting so aggravated because she wants to move!

This was Jazz until all of a sudden about a week and a half ago she started scooting herself backwards on her belly and then last week she discovered she could push up with her arms. It was VERY sudden. She had NO interest before!!

The ad redirects have been so bad (like, every time I open a page), I haven't been on here as much as I'd like. Here's hoping the new thing works.
Monday started out with DS1 losing movie privileges for the day. No school here today, but had DD do her writing lesson anyways. Got the whole week of school planned last night, so I'm feeling more organized.
It's cold and rainy, and I have a fire in the fireplace. T is napping.
