How was your date night @jemomma,? DH and I have one tonight.
Today we are going to check out daycares and then my mom and I are gonna take LO shopping. I LOVE free shopping with my mom. She is so wonderful( for eleventy billion reasons, not just that she takes me shopping).
Also went to my first group session for anxiety. It wasn't bad. I think we're going to try to introduce eggs today. We will see how my anxiety does with that.
michyme123, I'm totally jealous of the wine festival - that sounds fun! So last weekend for V-Day, DH decided he wanted to try the "fancy" wine I bought at Sam's Club (the bottle cost $15 - normally I'm a $10 or less girl). He's not normally a beer or whiskey guy and doesn't drink wine, but decided this one was delicious, so he had two glasses. At the end of the night he asked me, "how do you drink so much wine - I'm borderline hammered." It was pretty cute, until he "couldn't" get out of bed to go get the baby at 2 a.m. because he had a headache. I told him I had years and years of experience drinking wine under my belt, so he shouldn't be embarrassed he's such a light weight
Anybody have any cheap and easy Dr. Suess ideas for this, especially for Friday? And yes, daycare does themes like this every month or so and it drives me crazy.
Widget123, is this for your DD or the baby? If it's your DD, Cindy Lou Who would be pretty easy - pink jammies and bow in the hair? Or if they both need to participate, red shirts with a cut out pinned on for "thing 1" and "thing 2"?
@jemomma we're doing an early dinner at the Keg. Then possibly bowling and then a movie and the maybe a late night dessert somewhere. Grandma is staying so we have no worries about being late, etc.
Thank you for all of the great ideas, especially alayne926! Yes, it is for both kids, but I feel more compelled to have DD participate in themes than LO because DD will feel left out if all of her friends did something special and she didn't vs. LO isn't really going to care... but if I can think of something easy enough for LO I will have him participate too.
I've been chasing LO around all morning. Climbing stairs and destroying everything is fun!
Time to bust out the baby proofing and gates. They'll be around forever and it only gets worse, so save yourself the trouble and possibly save some sanity ; )

Oh, we've baby proofed and have gates up. The problem is our stairs - we can't put a regular gate up and haven't made it to BRU yet for another solution (I'm thinking a second play yard) and also she keeps pulling up on the gates and then crashing down on hard wood floors.
Eight months, one week and we finally have a tooth. He won't let me look at it but it's easy to feel.
And also, I clearly missed something. If someone wants to explicitly spell it out, great. Otherwise, I don't have the gumption, motivation, or enough cares to go look it up myself.

Went out for coffee with one of my best friends last night. First time we'd spent time together without my kids or our husbands since before LO was born. It was nice to have grown up conversation. And donuts.
I planned to leave the kids for DH to put to bed so it was actually a bit of a break for me, but he came home from work with some online course that HAD to be completed that night. I ended up putting them both to bed while he sat on the couch on his laptop.

The board is fired up today, I like it! Also I want donuts.
Husband and I are doing a webinar for first time homebuyers, but it makes me a little sad because I don't know that we will be able to afford anything in our area any time soon, it's definitely a sellers market right now.
Oh! I forgot! I bought Girl Scout cookies today. I already put them in my bag to take home so out of sight, mostly out of mind. Thin mints (to be consumed frozen) and Trefoils (to be consumed with hot chocolate...and Kahlua).

2 more episodes then I'm all caught up for tonight. I need a wine recommendation. I like cabs. My go to is Josh.
I just told SO that I need to take a shower in next half hour before I have to leave and he just decided to take one himself. And like Joolschweets he is going to take forever to take this damn shower. He's lucky it's takes me literally 2 mins to get to Gymboree.
LO and the dog are playing very nicely and adorably together tight now.

Chocolate cream filled donuts from Dunkin Donuts are where it's at, and I really wish I had one right now. Good thing lunch is less than an hour away, because I'm starving now that I read this thread. I should have gone back to my work like a good girl instead of hopping on here after my meeting, serves me right I guess
