    My aunt got me a late birthday present of yarn. She got my three different skeins of Sirdar in 3 different colors and 3 different weights. She is not a knitter and I appreciate the thought. I'm trying to think of what to do with these. Anyone have any 1skein patterns that are a favorite? If all else fails in guess I'll make 3 hats?

    Huh, the different weights make it hard. Maybe like scarf/cowl thing? Knitty.com has a ton of cowl patterns. Or a möbius scarf?

    If you have a lighter weight yarn, socks or a baby sweater (this one, perhaps: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/b21-15-mcdreamy-jumper-with-textured-pattern-and-raglan-sleeve-in-baby-merino). And this is one of my favorite hat patterns for fingering weight: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/springtime-in-philadelphia




    This is what she got me. Each skein is 50g/150yd.

  • So started my period again today. Last period was 11freaking days ago, the 14th of August, in the proper week for my pill.

    Not sure what gives, but I sure as fuck didn't miss this while I was pregnant.

    I made butter tonight for the first time! I'm so proud of myself

    I have been wanting to do that!!!
  • @mamrotu73 your Mom sounds awesome. I'm filing that in the bank for later stage parenting. 

    @jellysparkles I'm so sorry about Jelly. I'm so heartbroken for you and your family. Hope she is resting peacefully. 

    I went back to work today. I wasn't as sad as I thought I'd be. It was actually kind of nice to be feeling like my old self again. DD was all smiles when I picked her up, so that makes it easier. Here's hoping it sticks!! 

    @macgrs that McDreamy baby sweater is adoooorbs. And the baby model's face is priceless.


  • Jelly, I'm so sorry about your dog.

  • @mrscrcalli‌ he's so gorgeous!!!!!
  • My kid must be tiny too, she was 12lbs 9oz a week ago.

    Bad night of sleep here and a longer than normal work day means I'll probably have to break my "no soda" rule. These are the times I wish I liked coffee...

    Aiden is sick again with another cold and a low grade temp.  :-< Poor kid, he kept waking up every hour last night, so I finally gave him some Tylenol in the hopes it would make him feel good enough to stay asleep. Tylenol seemed to do the trick, but he sounds so sniffly...

  • @mom2boxers‌ there's an app you can take pictures of people parked illegally in handicapped spots and it sends it to the local police station and the get a ticket. My dad is 100% handicapped and we've had to use the app a few thousand times.

    So since my ergo broke and there's nothing that can be done for it I need a new carrier. I really thought with its price tag it should last more than 2 years but I guess not. I'd like a carrier made in the USA but it's a short list, only Bella carriers? Possibly thinking of a Tula since they have nothing but good reviews. I wanted a new 360 but now that I know my ergo my drop my kid on the floor I'm afraid. Any more got a made in USA carrier they love? Love your Tula?
  • I just went on an overpriced etsy shopping spree. B needs some football season outfits and I obviously needed a scarf to match her outfits.


  • Ergo sent me an automated response on FB and by email. I'm request number 106714! So I think that means they aren't getting back to me this century. Last night was rough with no carrier. Also grocery shopping will be impossible. I will ask the local birth network if anyone has a carrier I can try on. The baby wearing group meets every 3rd Monday of the month, so that's a long long wait. I have to go to Costco today to see if they can help me find the receipt for my ergo.
  • @KatieGummow‌ tell me you were the twins from "Camp Nowhere" and I would not be surprised! I swear it's you!

    Best move ever.. On Showtime!

  • So done with today. DH is completely stressed from work and its pushing him into depression. I feel like I can't say anything right to him. We had travel plans made for next month and they've been scrapped because of communication about PTO so that has him frustrated as well.
