Out of the past 10 school days, school has been cancelled 8 times. We are going stir crazy over here and I am sick of them being overdramatic...we are not strangers to harsh winters. A few of those days were definitely necessary but yesterday and today absolutely not. DD has an appt at a children's hopsital 3 hours away tomorrow so she won't go back until Monday at the soonest.
I have an u/s this morning so DH is coming with while FIL watches the kids. We plan to take our time, run errands and have a lunch date.

@EmilyA724 a bit of ice but nothing crazy. They originally delayed yesterday and today by 2 hours but switched to fully cancelled. Roads were fine yesterday and seem fine so far today...we just drove my OB office 20 miles away and did not hit a single slick spot yet.

@Allycat11 hope the appointment goes well! And that is a lot of missed school! We have a new superintendent this year and he has yet to give us a snow day. We live in Massachusetts, it’s february, and we’ve had one 2-hour delay and no snow days!!!! It’s going to be the earliest Summer vacation release ever!
Also, I’m shocked at how many people wear real pants ever (not just while pregnant). I live in leggings when I leave the house and sweatpants when I’m home. #momlife
@cmessamore My husband comes comes home and changes from work clothes into jeans or pants and I have never understood it. You can bet if my work clothes are coming off, something with an elastic waistband is going on!
I am "out" to all the partners at my firm, but no one else in my local profession network. Last night, I went to a retirement party for a local judge. All I had to drink was a diet coke and didn't stay long. This morning one of my bosses that also attended told me that two female judges asked him whether I am pregnant. I really didn't think I was showing, but apparently I am more than I think!
Hey all, just popping in to say that I've been MIA and didn't get to do the Baby Deals thread this week because of a family medical emergency. FIL is going to be discharged from the hospital today or tomorrow so things are looking good for now.
So I have this friend who had a baby in August. We were extremely close when she was pregnant. Once she had her baby, she disappeared. I would try messaging her and she barely responded so I eventually gave up. I figured she was overwhelmed with a new baby and her new life and would reach out if she wanted. So she randomly messaged me yesterday and I responded. And she disappeared AGAIN! And didn’t respond. So why bother messaging me?! I don’t get it. Stop wasting my time. She always messages asking when I’m free and we need to catch up so I propose times and she doesn’t respond. It’s so annoying.
@AKuzReve I had a friend just like this who was a bridesmaid in my wedding. Since the wedding (2.5 years ago) we haven’t hung out, not for lack of trying on my part. Same thing, she would just stop responding, even if we made plans and I was confirming them. I eventually had to just cut her out, it was toxic for me to continue putting effort into the friendship when she didn’t know or care to know anything about my life.
@AKuzReve & @dogmomma096 - I agree with both of you, I've had several of these "friends." I don't mind having months and months of random text messages, but DON'T make promises (or even the suggestion) to meet up if you don't mean it. That hurts worse than silence - though that sucks, too!
@Twinkiedoll - Hope FIL is doing much better and that you and yours are doing good, as well
@Lotus_2008 - Why is it that people are SO keen on asking others if you're pregnant? That makes me nearly as mad as asking me directly - WHY must you be spying on me and if I wanted you to know, you'd know. Rude. Funny story, DH asked me this morning if anyone's asked me about being pregnant. I just looked at him and said "there are some who know, and those for those who don't, I can't think of one with the cajones to ask me something like that." With DD, I didn't have a single inquiry until I "popped" around 25 weeks

When we told my in-laws about DS#1, we were told don't tell Grandma until you're ready for everyone else to know. So with him and the next one I just assumed everyone in the family knew. When I was pregnant with DS#2 we were at a family weekend, and I was 5 months pregnant, I tend to carry small so I was showing, but not huge, I was also wearing what I thought was obviously maternity. The get together started Friday Night. On Saturday I said something off hand about the baby to one of DH's aunts, and she was like, "Oh, we were trying to figure it out last night. Uncle [her husband] was like should I go ask her, and I said 'No Way!'"
@thirdtimesacharm2019 - We are clearly in the same region (probably, maybe not) because it was 80 here yesterday too and I definitely turned on the AC because I was ON FIRE overnight.
@thirdtimesacharm2019 & @peachy0709 - Same. I did have the A/C on, but only at night because DH practically turned DD into a polar bear and she won't sleep if her room is above 72 Thankfully, it didn't have to run much since our house is only 5 years old and really efficient, but ... yeah. Today's supposed to be 75, too. I was mad about having to shave, but really enjoying this sundress!

I was a little annoyed, but I just think it's funny how people jump to such judgments. Female + drinking NA beverage = Pregnant. Luckily my boss just played dumb, so he didn't let on anything.
well @peachy0709@thirdtimesacharm2019@MamaK225 add me to that list. Our A/C was on a few nights ago, but today it is cold again and the heater will be on tonight. No wonder I have a constant sinus drip. ugh.

@Avrilmai - It's so frustrating! It's going to "cool" down to the mid-50s beginning tomorrow, so hopefully we can deal with "just a little heat" for the next few weeks. At least until we get a random ice storm and/or summer-in-winter scenario.

Oh my gosh, I can't even think of 80, @peachy0709@thirdtimesacharm2019 and @mamak225 It was -17 without the windchill when I walked out the door this morning. I can't wait till next week when its supposed to be 20, it will be positively balmy!

I’m just scared to see what our summer will be like... with DS2, born on late July, it was one of the hottest summers in record here. I believe it was third in recorded history for days the temperature (not heat index) was over 100.
@thirdtimesacharm2019, me too. It was so hot here last summer and we have no AC. I almost didn’t survive lol.
@MamaK225 and @dogmomma096, yeah I don’t even put any effort. I literally never speak to her unless she messages me which is why I don’t get why she even bothers messaging me.
