False. I ordered something from Old Navy on Wednesday and won't be getting it until tomorrow. Two days my butt!! :-w

Lol at least you didn't pay for it to be late!

@Ooopsbaby14, you're the only mom on here that I know of that has older children, so I'm going to ask you! Edolie is in the 30% for height, and I was wondering if this means anything for how tall she'll be when she gets older. My husband is 6' and I'm 5'8" and was very long when I was born. Just wondering if she is going to be on the shorter side, and wondering if your older kids' percentiles reflected on their height as they got older.

True. They would be hearing from me if I had to actually pay for the 2-day shipping.

We put together my 4 year old's big girl bed today and said good bye to the toddler bed. I cried, more than I should have.

DD asked how old I am.....I had to do the math because I couldn't remember if I was 25 or 26. My brain is officially gone.

The forecast is predicting 2/3 feet of snow for my area. Waaaaah! (

For all of you deeply invested in my drinking decisions, I skipped the second. The act of asking about it made it less appealing. I used to drink 4-5 beers at a sitting before getting prego, so just trying to be aware of it creeping up:). Plus, since we always buy beer for football Sunday, it's always around, and then I might have a beer Tuesday, Thursday, and then it's the weekend....you get the picture. Maybe I should save this for a UO, but I don't want to have beer around the house except for special occasions once LO is old enough to know the difference, but I know MH will fight me on it. Tooth and nail:).

I'm completely reconsidering homeschooling. I'm not liking it like I thought I would and its more difficult than I thought it would be. So now I'm looking into schools again and thinkin I'll make a decision by Christmas break.

My son is only 4, but he was always in the 90th percentile for height and he is still the tallest in his class despite being the youngest. DH is 6'2" I am 5'2". DD is closer to the 50th for height and weight so we shall see.

This is in our very near future. With all the stuffed animals he barely fits. Santa is going to bring a bedding set and he'll change over when we move in the spring.

That's the awesome thing, is you can change your mind whenever if it's not working out.

In other news, I am jealous of all the ladies with snow.  It's going to be 75 and rainy today here.

I'm waiting on the vet to call me back, there were some abnormalities with my dog's urine culture.  Dr. Google tells me it could be nothing or it could be REALLY SUPER BAD, which is pretty much what Dr. Google says about everything ever, so I am not going to worry.  Yet.

So I share the same exact name as an escort in Ottawa (for reals, she has a website and everything) and I sometimes get these emails-anyone know wtf BLS is? Hahaha I thought I was freaky but I guess not since I don't know the lingo. Yay for my super slutty twin! (This is an old email I found while clearing out my inbox...I should find the rest and start an album Mwahaha)

errr....ball licking and sucking

My phone number has somehow gotten stuck on an escort site for the past year and every time the ad gets posted I get a flurry of texts and phone calls.  Lots of guys into foot fetish stuff around here, apparently!

My baby does not understand that the long stretches of sleep she gave me on Friday and Saturday night were great, but the 3hr, 2.5hr, and 2 hour stretch she did last night would have been better over the weekend since today is a work day. Who needs sleep?

FFMC: I sing " Springtime for Hitler" (from The Producers) to DS, I think he likes the melody of it but I can never just hum the song.

I do too, but I change the words - it's our bathtime song!  "It's bathtime, for Mikey!"

edoliesmom

First time being sick after having baby. All I want to do is sleeeeeep.... (:|

I'm having the hardest time picking out something for my buddy

Me too. I found something awesome and it was out of stock.

edoliesmom

Thanks for the info!

I just locked my brother out. He slammed the door and woke Edolie up, which isn't the first time. Hope he has fun outside in the freezing cold! \:D/

DD has been in the low percentages for height sice she was born. Her doctor is guessing she'll be about my height which is 5'2". DH is only 5"8'.

When Dylan got back from his God mother yesterday she told us he Naples for hour and a half. Wtf gives kid? He NEVER naps that long with us.

I was in the 2nd-5th percentiles for both height and weight through most of my childhood. I was tiiiiiny. Now I'm 5'6" and 145 pounds. So you never know.

I was tall for my age --- one of the tallest girls in my class until 5th grade.  Then they all grew.  And I have been the same height (5'1") since I was 12.

Until 3rd grade I was taller than everyone in my class except for 2 boys. After that I was homeschooled, so I don't know where I compared after that. I was 22" when I was born, so I guess I was always meant to be taller than average!

Suddenly, it's cold! I swear, two weeks ago, A sheet was too hot to sleep under. Woke up to our house at 68 today, and a very cold little boy. We only own 3 long sleeved shirts and one sweatshirt, and apparently no pjs that are warm enough. Guess I need to go shopping . 

And I'm aware that high 60s isn't cold anywhere else, but I'm enjoying hanging out in my uggs, jeans, and sweatshirt right now!

snowbound

Well I suppose it's time for me to get off my butt and buy the wood to install my too small baby gate. DS has mastered standing and just climbed the first step. Scared the shit out of DH and I.

DH's parents are in AZ and are freezing too. It's kinda cute.. you guys and your hot weather.

DS doesn't exactly use his jumper like we planned

George has really mastered the Army crawl today. He also only napped 5 mins this afternoon before the UPS guy came, my dogs barked and he woke up. The rest of the afternoon has been him crawling to me and crying for me to hold him and then wiggling out to crawl...and then back to me crawling and crying...2 more hous until bedtime

emilyann64

Hugs to all the moms with babies who won't sleep! Caroline is back to 30 minute naps. Ugh.

Hope you feel better soon @edoliesmom‌

tamaraaaa

Skipping but I also have a lot to say.

First, I did catch @purespark‌'s post about riding lessons and I have to point out that your husband is ridiculously cool and thoughtful. What a great gift!

Second, do not, I repeat DO NOT fly with a 7 month old child. What an effing nightmare. We had apps, we had toys, we fed her and timed it for a nap... Didn't matter. Isla wanted to move and crawl and there was no room for that. I dread going back, and dread Christmas travel coming up.

Third, for those of you living in Minnesota and surrounding states: what is wrong with you?! It's COLD. Way too cold for civilization. Send me back to sunny and 70 please. I haven't even found good cheese curds yet!

I spun on slush/ice. I ended up facing a semi. He couldn't stop in time. This is the first year I haven't had a panic attack at the first snow.

That's awful.

I had something similar happen to me... spun three times around in the middle of the highway.  Fortunately no one was around me and everyone behind me was far enough back to stop.

misskristina21

Aubree has cried for the last 2 hours. Won't eat, sleep, or let me hold her. Days like today make me feel like a big pile of shit.

edoliesmom

Thank you @emilyann64‌! When my husband gets home, I plan to take a nice long hot shower.

SoulTermination

I just realize that my made-up song "Get the Kitty" is sung to the tune of "My Darling Clementine". No wonder DH looks at me like I'm nuts when I sing it for Alera. XD

I got my buddy's exchange gift out!

I realized right after bath time that we were out of disposables for Caroline's overnight diaper. Tonight is the first night I'm doing cloth overnight. I put a newborn and regular insert in. I hope it works! It would be super awesome to not have to buy them anymore.

RedDawnsRevenge

My MILs passive agressive comments really make me rethink coming back to the valley from the coast on my days off. "If I don't get to see the girls before you go back I'll cry" followed by "I won't even bother, you'll just run anyway." With those try of texts I just can't wait to see her. :-w

Finally caught up! Been too busy to do anything but lurk/lovetit lately. Hugs to all of you with wakey cranky babies!
DD has a cold which has her waking up an extra time or two at night, which isn't too terrible I guess but I still feel exhausted
I did take advantage of her being to sick to go to church yesterday, and used the time to set up our Christmas tree. She looves it! I finally had to set up some pillows around it (tucked under the tablecloth I use as a tree skirt) to keep her from constantly pulling on it. How tacky does this look?

kseccomb17

Have all of the glynncoco ladies left us?? I miss them.
