Hugs and feel better soon to all the sick littles and mamas. We are all feeling better from our stomach bug, and Daddy took the kids to the zoo this morning for their noon years eve event while I worked a little. Now we are all home, hoping to get in a nap so I can make it to midnight tonight! @gutsymama‌ congrats! Definitely call your realtor and she should have an idea of how the market is moving in your area. That's so exciting. Team bananas here, we sometimes have meltdowns at the grocery store because I won't let him eat them while we are shopping. Fitbit ladies, is it really worth it? I struggle so bad with motivation and getting into a fitness routine. I am seriously looking into getting one. Edit ugh iPad formatting

Fitbit faction member here and I think so. I've been way more motivated because of the competition. Why was I up doing laps last night at 11? Oh I wanted to rise in the ranks of the comp. I also look at those little graphs and think, Just one more mile and I'll hit my goal. Just 500 more calories to burn. Just 10 more minutes for at least 30 active minutes. Just 400 more steps to reach 10,000, etc. It's worth it to me. 

Plus we can be friends. 8->

@gutsymama‌ yeah! To you and your family!!!!!

@miss2697 @mamasighs @missymr  Thanks for the perspectives on selling! We have an agent we really like from when we bought our house - kind of mothered us through it, she was fantastic. I'll start with her. I just wasn't sure what kind of minimum time frame we're looking at - I don't want to move in 3 weeks! 

@sparkymcgeee I actually thought about that, lol. If we put it on the market I will send you a direct link. Features include new heating and cooling, new windows, and a mouse :-bd

For berry-lovers, Driscoll's does coupons for surveys. www. driscollspanel. com  You can fill one out for each package of berries you buy, and print each coupon twice. 50 cents off for the first 5, 75 cents off for the next 10, and then $1 off for every one after that. Resets on Jan. 1 each year, but there aren't many coupons for fresh produce so I'll take it. 

Equally valid on organic and non-organic berries ;;)

@equinus‌ and @biggunsbo‌ I agree with @sparkymcgeee‌. I've never been a competitive person but the fitbit is driving me. It gives you notifications when someone is close to you or vice versa. I've started walking in circles just to stay ahead at times.lol

In related news: Mice should be either adorable or vile. It's completely unfair that they are both.

Let's go fit bit people...get that hr released!

@gutsymama‌ the current mouse in residence has ruined any chances of me trying to be nice...little bastard. I even broke out glue boards...I hate the things and find them cruel...but this is war! It has avoided all the traps...pooped on them in its effort to insult me. He is evil I tells ya!

I'm just planning on getting the Fitbit Flex. What's the deal with the HR?

Meaning HeartRate. I have the flex and it's fine for me. DH wants the HR because he does running and more intense workouts. I'm just trying to be more active so the flex monitors that. Depends on what your workout goals are I guess.

My FB feed just included a mom telling another mom how essential oils will help turn her breech baby.   This c-section mama had to step away and fast!  I felt your pain @lizabethann06.  I don't know how you deal with that craziness on the daily.   

[Deleted User]

@biggunsbo I want the HR because I do more than just walking/running. My Force doesn't count any weight lifting or workout videos I do, like the 21 Day Fix or Jillian Michael's, etc. If you're just looking for motivation then the Flex is where it's at

[Deleted User]

Oh, and the flex you can wear in the shower. I wish I had gotten that one instead of the force.

And I think mice are cute but they aren't cute in my house.

We haven't done Cheistmas with my inlaws yet so I will get to be part of the Fitbit faction soon! @sparkymcgeee‌ I'm intrigued to see how my sleeping goes. It might just be depressing. @PrimRoseMama‌ they are tiny little red dots all around her mouth and occasionally on her check. I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary elsewhere. I agree it's probably just a sensitivity but she loves chocolate so much it's kind of sad

So sad for me. 2 hours and 10 minutes last night. That's not sleeping. That's laying in bed for 8 hours with your eyes closed.

Nap time fail for me and the kids, they fell asleep on the way home from the zoo, which means they don't need a real nap!

Well I'm off to Amazon to look into the Fitbit, I'm excited!

@biggunsbo‌ I think your figure is amazing! Surgery? Hope everything is OK.

Haha No I'm watching you!! Well, not today. Today I am sick and watching Curious George with my George

And non fitbit ladies - @Clyde87‌ and @fabk‌ are monsters! I'm amazed with the amount of steps they get.

Dinner plan was hummus, spin dip, and quesadillas. DH is starting to not feel well and I told him we should just order food. That means he has to go back out into the cold to pick it up. Decisions decisions.

miss2697

@maryannespier‌ Why was he yelling at her to begin with?

blairwitch

I know what you mean @Stacey099‌ ... the sitter will be ready for for the girls at 6. Party doesn't start until 7. Is the extra hour kid free worth going out in the cold more than needed?

A while back DH was looking for ideas for some projects, so I told him to check Pintrest. "What's Pintrest?" he asked, so I explained. Well today he sends me a link to some sort of picture frame saying he really likes it, what do I think. I did too and he goes "Ok, I'll pin it." I'm not sure why I think it's so funny, especially because he's just passing time in nap jail. I guess dudes using Pintrest for craft projects just seems funny to me.

Lucas has 2 new words this week: RuffRuffRuff and MOAR! 

We called DH on speaker phone to tell him congrats. L waved at him and then barked at him. :x

PrimRoseMama

We text the IL that the kids are sleeping. What does MIL do when she comes to the door? Rings the motherfucking doorbell?! God-motherfucking-damnit woman!! X(

So Abby is awake now & Alex stirred but is still out. $&#%?!!!??

PrimRoseMama

I resolve to not be this way as a MIL. Then again I am the polar opposite of my MIL in almost every single respect. So there's that.

My husband totally has a pinterest account. Then again he's a social media guy as a career so he's on a lot. snapchat, twitter, FB, pinterest, Youtube, etc. Heck he even does influenster.

Both boys took great naps after I let DS sleeping my bed.... I don't care where you sleep kid! Just sleep!

Finished crocheting a hat for a friend.

And LO still hasn't pooped, he's miserable. I put him in the tub, I've never wished for tub poop more. I can't remember the last time he pooped and has been trying for going in 3 days now....

DH LOVES pinterest. He's always pinning beer and brewing stuff.

@beckyanddon, have you tried pedilax? I've had to use it on both of my little ones at one point or another. It's not pleasant but it works and it's not harmful to them. I would try that as my next step if I were in your shoes. 

beckyanddon

@sparkymcgeee‌ I have tried it, it doesn't do to much for him unfortunately. He has chronic constipation and the doctor has him on daily meds but they don't do much either... We are waiting for our gastro doctor!

Aw poor thing. If pedilax doesn't work then I don't know what would. That stuff was magic to us.

Playing in the jet at Daddy's work: guess who found the fruit snack stash.

Congrats Mr. gutsy!!

Allison has had a rough day. Teething sucks. DH is snuggling on the couch with her and I am trying to be quiet to not disturb.

Fitbit fraction. I need to hook up with some of you ladies so I can do a challenge. I need go keep myself motivated.

See, beer stuff makes sense to me. As does motorcycle stuff @Silv3rlining. But it's like picture frame stuff. And decorating stuff. Which I'm glad he's interested in because we do need to decorate like our whole house. But I still find it kinda funny.
