It's 5am and I'm up and showered, but seriously considering dropping the kids off and calling in sick. I never take sick days when I'm actually sick because I inevitably take a million off when one of them is sick. But all I want to do is spend the day in bed.
Morning. C thought 5:30 was a good time to start our day. I'm guessing we won't be making library time this morning since he'll need a nap around that time. Lunch date with one of my bffs, I can't wait to talk with another adult and discuss 1 year photos for C.
Also, want to know how to piss your kid off royally? Try putting ointment in his/her eye. I have no clue if any is actually getting into his eye at this point, but thankfully, his eyes seem to be starting to clear up.

I'm back to work today. Said goodbye to a crying baby. Then got a text alert that my account overdrew, even though I emptied another account to make sure it didn't earlier this week. So... broke, tired, and... tired. Blah.
budders, Oh that really sucks. I'm sorry. I'd be sad too
sabrinaml, We were up at 5:30 too. I nursed and put him back down and he was quiet for 10 more minutes.. enough for me to fall back asleep.. and then he was UP. Ugh!

Swim lessons this afternoon! Fingers crossed she does okay during them, she may be a crank pants because she basically got up at 5:30 and wouldn't go back down after I nursed her.

T has his "9 month appt" today, only a month late. And he woke up as a snot faucet. I need to do monthly grocery shopping, but his appt is after lunch, and I don't want to end up in 5pm traffic after grocery shopping, so I should just suck it up, pack up all 3 kids, and go. But I also need to pay rent, and I should check to see if I have funds to do that... I hate money.
billyhorrible do it. I shall nap vicariously through you.

Nothing exciting here today. J woke up with the nastiest diaper ever. I woke up from smelling it, not hearing him.
All he wants to do all day is hold my fingers and walk around. Then screams if I set him down. He won't hold onto his walker and walk. I managed to distract him with a box of cds, cassette tapes, and floppy disks. Hopefully I can get a few things done when he goes down for a nap in a bit here.
Those of you with bike trailers, does your LO wear a helmet while in one?
Hi everyone. Ive been a little less active lately due to my kids and H being sick and some stressful events at work. My anxiety is definately high this week. I have so much to do to get caught up.

Morning ladies. C decided to join the other babies with decided that 5:30 was an excellent time to wake up this morning.
I have a question. We're in the process of refinancing our house. We have to get it appraised, which I knew we'd have to do. My question is, how clean should my house be when the appraiser comes? Like, should I schedule the appraisal appointment for the day after our cleaning lady comes and ask her to do a good deep clean? Or would scheduling the appointment after my normal weekend pick up/wipe down routine? I have no idea if that helps make a difference in an appraisal or not. What do you think?

Thanks michyme123. I will have to look for one. I looked at the place we purchased our trailer from, but the smallest ones they had were child size, no toddler sizes.

+1 to not doing a deep clean. Mainly they are looking for what amenities your house has (tile vs linoleum) and what it's overall condition is (missing shingles, water damage, electrical problems).
musicfrk2002 , we got DS's helmet at REI when he was pretty little.
End of March I ordered a ride-on board for DS for the stroller, direct from the company ($100). It's on back order until the 18th and I just have this feeling they are going to back order it again. I'm so anxious to get it, but it's for an older stroller model so stores don't have them in stock. I just checked amazon and they have 1 for sale for...$474!!! WHAT?
musicfrk2002 we got DS his helmet from target, I had to wait for it to be back in stock because they only carry one kind. If you order on amazon I suggest measuring their head first because even the 12m+ were too small for him. He still doesnt love but Im hoping he will get used to it

veggiemo is there any chance that the stroller board for a newer model would fit on yours? I took a chance on a belly bar for an older model of my stroller that was on clearance for $2.98, and it fit...saved me $27

REALLY SERIOUS QUESTION.
We're having cotton candy at BH's birthday party. There are 2 options.
1)Order cotton candy from etsy. Pros: Cheaper, No labor from me. Cons: Come in plastic bags.
2)Buy a cotton candy maker from amazon. Pros: I can put them on sticks for a cute tablescape. We can have cotton candy any time we want from now until forever. Cons: Will cost about $20 more (for supplies), I will have to master making cotton candy.
I literally just remembered I had a dream last night I was trying to breastfeed my TWIN babies. I couldn't get one to latch so I would swap and try the other baby, over and over. Weirdest part was the babies were about the same size as Ivy and only in diapers. I think I had similar breast feeding dreams in my other pregnancies too. I only breasted DS for 24h and never Ivy.
I keep dreaming that I'm having twins, too. At least you've had your first scan... Pregnancy dreams are so weird.

Which would you do?
I just looked up cotton candy. We call it candy floss.
Absolutely no contest at all even for a second. Have you ever had freshly spun, still slightly warm candy floss? My mouth is watering, and not just because I can't have anything that sweet until December!

According to their website and amazon reviews: no I bought my stroller right before they did a huge re-design on it so everything is a lot different now.
