I'm thinking Thursday is the earliest I can bake the cupcakes for DS's party Saturday, right? I'll wait to ice them until Friday night or Saturday morning.
Thanks for asking lilyelayne! I'm ok I guess. Slept in till 9 this am and now WFH so I don't run the risk of transfering this to my co-workers. Head feels like it's full of cotton but I'm trying to do stuff that don't require too much brain power

If you freeze them you can make them whenever. I made 200 cupcakes for a party last year a couple of weeks ahead and froze them, then thawed and iced them the day of. Worked great! If you don't want to freeze them then yeah, I'd agree on Thursday.
lilyelayne, thanks for asking! I seem to have leveled off: not better, not worse. All the DayQuil and orange juice for me. And also trying to do the least with my classes today...
mishka29, ditto. I'm starting to wonder what the hell happened to our political process for Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to be the leading candidates.

Feeling slightly better I think, the doctor said I have some kind of respiratory infection but hard to say if its viral or bacterial. Since its been going on for almost two weeks he gave me an antibiotic and said to come back if it hasn't cleared up when I finish it. It does seem like the frequency and intensity of the cough it finally subsiding, which is good because I am getting really tired of peeing myself a little bit every time I cough.
Daycare called DH yesterday to say that DD "seemed lethargic and not really herself" but she didn't have a fever so they weren't sending her home. She seemed to be perfectly fine when they got home though, we still had to chase her all over the house. It was kind of funny, this morning I checked her with the forehead thermometer just to be sure and she practically head butted the thing out my hand trying to press her head against it - guess she figured out how it works.
We went and voted last night and the list of candidates that had dropped out they had hanging at the polling place was incorrect, which pissed me off. You should be fully educated before you go vote on the candidates and the issues anyways, but it doesn't help if your polling place has inaccurate information. Also, I noticed a couple of violations of signs being too close to the door and etc. As someone who has worked on the campaign trial, it just irkes me.
Little Man had a cupcake at daycare yesterday and we put a candle in a small bowl of strawberry frozen yogurt last night and he had the worst time going too bed. Too much excitement/sugar in one day I think. For dinner, I'm making power bowls, so his dinner will be very protein rich and sugar free. Now that my birthday and his are over, it's time to get back on track with healthy eating!
I had wanted to go to the nature park today but I think we'll stay home and work on some things instead. The exercise room and guest room can be set up while V is awake, so I think I'll tackle that today. I really want to work on the office, but that will require someone to distract V for sure.
mishka29 It's really scary. When are the rest of the primaries?
I have no idea lol. I generally don't follow American politics but if Drumpf gets elected then I'm worried how much he is going to bill Canada for the wall he plans on building! Lol
I'm using leftover chicken instead of salmon, quinoa instead of rice, I'm not sauteing the kale and instead of pomegranate, pine nuts. And no anchovy in the dressing, because yuck.
Little man will eat the quinoa, chicken, tomato and avacado. And maybe even the kale. If not, I have steamed broccoli he can have. No pine nuts or chia seeds for the baby obviously
12 month appt this morning. He's almost 19 pounds (10%) and 29 inches (can't remember this one). She did say she was concerned about his gross motor development and would see if they can get his other appt moved up. She'll also check with another facility, but said they usually have a long wait too. I also started to worry as I said no to the questions about waving, pointing, and saying words. If it was just one or two of those things I wouldn't care, but as I kept saying no I was feeling worse and worse. But she did say that he was very social and made good eye contact. She's also really impressed with his fine motor skills. Anyway, I'm trying not to worry. I hope we can move his appt up. She didn't sound overly troubled, or that there was something wrong, just that she is concerned (after I said that we're really worried).
cougarette hugs momma. I am glad to hear they are jumping on getting DS some referrals. I know it's scary and overwhelming, but so many kids go through this and for many it truly is a blip on the radar you get the help he needs, he catches up and never looks back.
cougarette hopefully you can get in to be seen sooner rather than later and as Aggie said, so many kids go through this and it ends up being NBD as he gets older.
I am exhausted today. Took B outside to play in the snow and she loved it. Obviously not my kid. Due to the storm we got overnight I pushed my work today until tomorrow (I usually work M/W/F) and now I'm regretting it. I keep thinking tomorrow is Friday, but it's not. Wahhh.

Haha yeah. I think most of Europe is over here looking at Trump like 'Whaaaa?' lol. But I don't even pretend to understand American politics so what do I know?
badw0lf sorry F is still so sick. Big hugs. cougarette I was coming to tag you to see when N's appointment was. I'm glad you're getting referrals and second everyone's reassurance. Sending you all the hugs. @alyllyra the article cracked me up. I assume it's just that there's a grain (rice or quinoa) instead of a green (lettuce) as the base.
@alyllyra it looks like another food fad to me lol. Complete with a catchy name. Now veggies, whole grains and protein will always make a well balanced meal no matter how it's packaged so if you like it go for it.
cougarette it's so great you recognize it and seek help. It's the best thing you can do! DD1 had/has a speech delay and it's so hard to hear that your child is behind. But we jumped on it early and went through the program called Early Intervention. And she really caught up! She was even discharged from the program because her percentage of delay dropped so much. Best thing we could have done. So, good for you! You are your child's best advocate so push for some help if needed!!
Update on my ear. My GP prescribed me flonase which is a corticosteroid to help inflammation I'm guessing of my eustachian tube (if that's what's causing this). If this doesn't clear it up then she is referring me to an ENT
badw0lfdmorgendorffer @alyllyra danitaec these colds/respiratory infections are just not giving up this winter. They are holding on with all their might. ...Bitches lol!
