Yesterday I had a PSL. It was good. Not great. Certainly not worth all the calories. My motto is don't waste your calories on beverages unless they contain alcohol. I felt jittery afterwards. Was it the lethal dose of sugar, the petroleum-filled artificial, flavors, the caffeine, or all the farm, corp. milk?
I had my PSL on my way to the apple orchard. They were selling hand-knit baby hats there, which inspired me to try to make my own for Finn. After an evening of knitting, I tried the nearly-finished product on him to see how he looked. He hates it. Won't even keep it on long enough for a pic. But to give you an idea of the cuteness, here is Finnie in the hat it was modeled after:
Yay for your first PSL! Sorry it was disappointing. I can't remember the last time I had one, but I don't think I'll be getting one anytime soon since I'm avoiding the extra sugars.
P.S. I have a picture for you. I had to take a screenshot when I saw it because I immediately thought of you and your recent posts. ) Coming right up...
@valstulas Cute And I love the wine in the background along with what looks like a donut in his hand
Pretty sure I bruised my leg while showing Jadzias babysitter how to use the EpiPen. I also get to try and find an allergist that sees 1 year olds tomorrow. The local one is leaving and the closest in the clinics system is 2 hours away.
There was a song on one of the kid song cds I had a daycare that sang about big red balls. We couldnt hear it without laughing. Thankfully the under 2 crowd didnt understand why
@blairwitch It was an apple cider donut and you can't tell from the pic, but I was literally covered in sugar. I was shaking it out of my bra before I went to bed. It was probably a lethal dose of sugar for an 18 pound kid, but those donuts are too good to deprive him.
Love the hat @valstulas! Alex is a huge donut fan. Now I want apple cider donuts!
I spent hours last night on youtube (on my phone) doing Microsoft Access tutorials on mh's 15 year old laptop because its the only comp with Access apparently. Too bad it is Access 2000, but I guess it is better than nothing!
@valstulas that hat is too cute! I was considering getting a PSL today when I run to town to get groceries. I honestly don't know if I've ever had one. Hope your next 7 days fly by.
@fayga, that's the worst. Hope your day goes well!
@fabk using old computers sucks!! I hate anytime I need to get onto my old laptop.
Can't wait to get to the lake later tonight and just relax and hang out with family until Monday afternoon. Bonus: DH is staying home to work so I'll have some space. We've been getting along great but sometimes he's just so overbearing that I need a break.
@pink724 Its for Community Care for Seniors. They use Access to track all their clients, volunteers, events, etc. Its been a few years since I used Access so figure I better brush up before my test on Tuesday.
Liam woke up at 330 it was normal wake up, change diaper and give bottle. But he wanted me to lay with him but I had to pee. I tried to sneak away when he was almost out but it didn't work. Over 30 minutes I was doing kegals to keep the pee in. Finally asleep and I went pee but now I am awake. It is 430 I don't need to be awake for 2 more hours.
Coffee and sleepy baby dust to all the mommas that need it.
Finally have resigned myself to throwing away my favorite cap. It's just a newsboy cap, but I think I look so damn fetching in it. The cap brim is all destroyed, the band shows signs of only barely holding on to the rest....I think I can safely say any "vintagey" look I might try to pull off with this will be a huge fail. *sniffle*
@valstulas hat and boy are soo cute! I wish I had that kind of knitting skill. I can just a simple beginning stitch.
So glad it is Friday! I have my coffee and am ready to go. Due to the break down in currier system yesterday at work I am currently waiting in a gas station parking to hand off the inter office mail to my COO who lives close. I look like the dedicated employee but really I get thirty minutes of coffee and the bump uninterrupted time. I think this is a win win here.
@valstulas all of your kids are beautiful and I see some of that sugar on your shirt that donut sounds delicious!
Going for a walk this morning with Haddock and a friend and then headed to Costco, Target and Carter's. I shall be several hundred dollars poorer after today, I'm sure I need a lot from Costco. All 3 stores are 40 minutes from me, so, when I go I try to make it worth the trip.
G got up at 7 but since then he's been really groggy and tired. He wanted to sit inmy lap for 10 mins while I rocked and rubbed his feet! :x It was really nice. He has since gone down to the floor, laying on his back with his monkey. Pretty sure @squirmworms asked this the other day and I missed the response - are teething runny noses clear? G has green snot and just wondering if he has a col or it's teething.
@valstulas so cute, amazing that you can whip up something so quickly! Update from yesterday: Dh and I talked last night, he apologized for the hurtful things he said, I feel better having gotten it all out. Thank you all again for your kind words and encouragement! Hope everyone has a great day!
Nothing exciting here. Cloudy gross day is making me want to stay in bed which, of course, is not going to happen. I am working at the vet office this afternoon for a few hours. Yay! Adult interaction!!
Yesterday I had my post D&E appt and I was cleared to have sex. Yay!! So as soon as Aiden went down, I jumped dh. After I realized we forgot the condom. We're supposed to wait 2 cycles. Oops. I'm sure it's ok though, right?
If I'm committed to an institution, you all should know that it is due to the stuffed Minnie Mouse that plays Twinkle Twinkle Little Star over and over and over and over... :-t
Mom to three girls and pregnant with #4! L: 7/12/13 C: 5/11/15 E: 3/7/17 Due 11/10/18
It is raining here today & it was the first day for PSL at Caribou Coffee. I of course bought one and it is just as delicious as I expected it to be.
Working from home today and then headed to the cabin this afternoon. I have a 4.5 day weekend.. daycare is closed on Tuesday. LO starts at his new daycare Sept. 15. Things have been better at current daycare she hasn't seemed as crabby with him, maybe she realized she was being a B and toned it down.. or maybe she is being nice because she's happy he is leaving? Not sure, but I had to give her a 2 week notice to get my deposit back.
Luke was up at 5. DH and I were both also up at 5. DH decided this was a good time to take apart the microwave to see if he could fix it :-??
GI this morning. I'm getting nervous about the results of his barium study - We don't have any reason to think that anything is wrong, he's actually doing fantastic right now, but we haven't seen what his gut looks like since his last big surgery almost a year ago.
Also last night I had a dream that I gave birth to my second child, and he had a growth that looked like an elephant trunk coming off of his left cheek. Wtf, brain.
FKA mimi4347: diaper rash magician and unofficial expert on excrement
This kid may not have a lot of bowel, but he has plenty of guts! DS born at 34 weeks with (surprise!) gastroschisis turned short bowel syndrome. 131 days in the NICU, 7 trips to the OR, G-button, daily TPN....
We are impatiently awaiting the day we can say goodbye to his girlfriend Ivy for good.
I'm not a fan of Hello Kitty either, but I did go to a Hello Kitty restaurant in Beijing @-)

I have officially stopped pumping at work this week! YAY!
I just also removed my pumping session from my Outlook calendar.
SO HAPPY TO BE DONE WITH THAT.
I am still kind-of self-conscious about my milk-laden boobs, but am happy not to be dashing back to my office and hoping to god nobody mistakenly barges in.
Went grocery shopping and Haddock had on a salmon colored shark t-shirt and khaki cargo shorts. The guy cashier kept talking about "her" but I just kept letting it go because I really didn't care. Then he asked me "her" name and I said "well, actually he's a boy and his name is Haddock"... He acted offended and asked why I didn't tell him. I never feel the need to correct people and it doesn't matter to me whether they think he's male or female, that's why.
Just saying though, Haddock would not make a very pretty female. He's very boyish.
Also, if your daughter is wearing blue camouflage pajamas and brown sneakers, don't be offended if I ask how old he is. Little kids don't look one sex or the other unless naked.
@valstulas that sounds yummy I have tried to share the amazing world of donuts with Nikita...but she insists they smell disgusting. Oh well. More for me
The only times I got bothered by strangers calling DD a boy was when she was beyond obviously dressed like a girl. So I think its more of an annoyance with people being oblivious to whats right in front of them vs being offended they called her a boy.
Discovered Criminal Minds on Netflix the other day...already on episode 15
Though I keep waiting to hear "Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
Re: Hello Kitty Spamrio
I don't like drinking calories. Mostly because I love eating too much.
Good to see you on, @valstulas! Hope you have a great weekend. :x
My weekend will be filled with work, work, and more work. I'm scheduled for 72 hrs in the next 7 days. Wish me luck and coffee.
I hope you have a great weekend! Any plans?

YOLO.

I'm packing away the 12 month pjs today. P always grows out of them first before pants and tops. It doesn't make a ton of sense.
We bought apple pie bagels last night and I'm irrationally excited to eat one.

@pink724 Tell little miss L not to be so fussy
I was up way too late last night. I'm also going into the city just to have lunch with some friends today. Work? What work?
