Happy, sunny Thursday!

[purple]

The weather is glorious here today for the third day in a row. Sadly, it's meant to break tonight.

This is Friday for me, hurrah! We're going away for a long weekend with my parents. We'll be telling them about the new baby! I might not be around all that much from Friday - Monday.

I am so proud of my little girl today. She's finally learned what No means. She was reaching for the catfood and when I said, " No!" she paused, reached for it again, stopped herself, checked to see that I meant it and then burst into tears. She listened to Mummy but she was so sad about it! I don't expect consistency or regular obedience or anything miraculous like that, but I am proud of her.

Have fun this weekend, purple!
Unfortunately, it's supposed to be rainy here today for the first time, which actually suits me just fine because I'm miserable. I think I'm actually going to see if I can get into my doctor today, I've been coughing and congested for seriously about two weeks now, and it's not getting better. I think I slept about five hours last night because I was up coughing so much (I went to bed at a time that should have allowed almost 10). So I think we're at a point where I think we're at a point where something doesn't feel right about this cold.

I accidently started a Thursday thread bc my tapatalk wasn't showing any others. I tried to turn it into a gif party, but I can't figure out how to post animated ones. It used to be easy peasy.

erbear please tell me you have a Droid and used tapatalk to post the above & please help!

Eta: tagged wrong

purple Have a fun weekend! I'm sure your parents will be so excited to hear your news
jillywilly Hope you feel better soon!
It's rainy here, but we have story time today, so that will get us out of the house for a bit. I called yesterday to sign DD up for a popular preschool around here, thinking I was crazy for calling so early. She got the LAST spot in her class! She was number FOURTEEN! I've heard of day cares being hard to get into, but didn't realize preschool was so competitive. The woman I spoke to said the first three kids on the list were registered when their moms were still pregnant with them?

blueskiessmiling that's crazy!

Wow! The school where I work has a wait list for infants, but preschool is not nearly that competitive. The public preschools can be competitive, but there's no multi-year wait list, you have to go through a lottery.

stinybean nope I have an iPhone! I don't use tapatalk, either. Just safari.

blueskiessmiling well, shit. I didn't know I needed to look at preschools already! This makes me really sad.

Me lastnight with DS not staying in his bed and DH snoring after he got home from work at 2:30:

[erbear]

And so far today I've dealt with 2:30, 5, and 6:15 wakeups, a massive poop when I finally got LO out of bed, a crying, clingy baby who only wants to be on my lap, and my H asking me to "put a garbage bag" on a mini fridge he left outside - except there was no way in hell a garbage bag would fit, so I had to get it in my house somehow. This was all before 7 am. Sigh.

Is it wine o'clock yet?

[heartofglass]

I got behind no less than 4 school buses this morning which has effed my commute. Knees to elbows kids!

Today is baby shower day for a coworker. It is giving me nostalgia because it is another boy due in June and I had a work shower at the same time and place last year.

[santoki77]

purple have fun this weeekend. It's been beautiful here for the past few days and tosay is my friday too so I'm a happy person! Have a great weekend!

[3dimesdown]

I stopped at Krispy Kreme to get doughnuts for everyone at work this morning. KK's coffee is only meh, so I'm basically a saint for skipping my delicious Starbucks to get them a treat, right?

[mrsmonogrammed]

Pinterest recipe for dinner last night was delicious and DH got ST for his birthday, so we're off to a good morning over here;)

Just getting through today because it's my Friday! Come on 4pm!

[mbjune13]

Today should be a good day. DH has an unexpected day off and we should be installing our new dishwasher! I am weirdly excited to use it. B has a doctors appointment later this afternoon and my mom comes home tonight.

[txngrl31]

It's going to be in the 70s here today and tomorrow!!!


V and I are meeting a friend on her lunch break to eat outside somewhere, and then visiting another friend that lives nearby. Hopefully V can have some swing time today. I need a tan on my skin like nobody's business. I feel like a vampire awakening from the dark depths of winter.

Confession: I've never been to Jimmy Johns. But I am intrigued now!

It was only on my radar because I know this particular program is so popular. Not gonna lie, I was a bit choked up talking about it. I think it will be even harder with us having kids who are young for their grades (having late birthdays).

purple how exciting to begin spreading your great news! Have fun!

mbjune13 my H has an unexpected (to me lol) day off tomorrow! It's been scheduled for a long time and he just remembered to tell me yesterday lol! So that was exciting.

And because of that day off, some new friends of ours (he started working with H, I got to know his wife and non-school aged kids while she's on mat leave and play dates) are moving across the street from us tomorrow! It's so fun, I mean our town is tiny and if the weather is nice we just walk everywhere anyway but we've never had people who we actually hang out with, especially with kids our kids age, in our little corner of town.

BH was nursing this morning when he sneezed. Which caused him to clamp down/ bite me. My poor nipple.

Since it is supposed to rain today, we are going to the Children's Museum. We've been less screamy the past two days. We've been trying to use the techniques from Happy Toddler on the Block, it says 8 months+ but seems to be for a little bit older, and it seems to be helping a bit but she isn't sure what we are doing. At least it's good practice!

[musicfrk2002]

Good morning everyone! Today should be a good day. My coworker will be back so work will be better, we have music class this morning, $1 jimmy Johns subs, and the weather looks awesome right now. Plus, H was already up when J woke up this morning, so I got to sleep an extra hour and a half.

Does anyone know if you can get the subs in the drive thru or if you have to go inside?

[alayne926]

musicfrk2002 I think as long as it's not delivery, it's the $1 for subs 1-6

musicfrk2002 I don't see why not! None of our JJ's have a drive through. The only exclusion on the flyer was that it doesn't apply to delivery.

ETA - just checked the FAQs and the drive throughs will be closed during those hours. Yes, I'm THIS invested in $1 subs.

Boo to drive thrus being closed.

[musicfrk2002]

The JJ by my work has a drive thru. I honestly don't know if any others around here do.

Ffthc: i dislike Jimmy Johns. I think their sandwiches are really bland tasting and nothing special

[ashbash]

3 out of 4 of us having been puking in the last 24 hrs. The kids are on the mend and H is laid up in bed. This is the 3rd family sickness that Ive dodged.

[alayne926]

ashbash...I want to like your post....but I don't. Happy you're not sick, but SO sorry you've had to deal with everyone else!

I think I am having sympathy pregnancy symptoms for some of you. I have had insomnia all week, last night being the worst, nausea, cramps, and headaches. Blah!

Not going to lie, last week I was being super SS about PMS symptoms and freaking out after realizing someone on here was due in December and if I had gotten pregnant that cycle I'd be due around Christmas, and we are booked and paid to leave for Hawaii December 27. On top of it, a friend told me she had such a vivid dream I was pregnant that she had to check my FB to see if I actually did announce lol. DS even asked me if I had a baby in my belly yesterday, he's never asked me that before.
