early morning roll call!

CherryStarburst · June 2011

Good morning! Is anyone here? I actually go up when I was supposed to this morning but this board is deader then dead. Anyone want to talk to me?

what're you doing today?

I had the carpets cleaned yesterday so I have to revacuum everything downstairs and then put the furniture back where it was a then I have a mountain of laundry to fold. Also my mom and sister suggested a book that might help my sore back so we might make a library trip today sometime.

wearenutts · June 2011

I am here. But I am leaving to hop in the shower. Better get one in while I can before M wakes up. Another day of preparing for camp ahead of me.

WiscoWife · June 2011

G'mornin'!

I'm here for a couple of minutes! Sounds like you have a lot of work to do today! Sheesh! Do the carpets look good at least?

And what's wrong with your back?!?! Back pain is the worst. It interferes with everything!

This morning I have a Dr. appt. to discuss the loss, and then hubs is taking us out to lunch. That's about all I have planned!

nearly_klo · June 2011

I'm here, not that you know me.

It's nearly bedtime for me, sounds like a seriously busy day for you though!

The carpets look awesome! We have white carpets in our family room (why did they put in white??) and they looked so bad. I had tried to do them myself before the baby came but it did nothing so I hired cleaners this time. They finished in like half an hour and they look so good, lol! They said I have to vacuum 24 hours after they did it and the furniture is still all out of place.

I've always had a bad back, I have slight scoliolis (sp?) and always have pain. I used to work for a chiropractor for 5 years and was able to get adjusted for free and that helped a lot. I can't afford to get adjusted once a week now though and our insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care, it's $50 a time, at least... if I'd get my knees and elbows adjusted it would be close to $100.

I hope your appointment goes well. I'll be thinking of you.

Well hello there I actually recognize your wedding picture so I must have seen you post before, I feel like it was on another board though... I have always wanted to go to Australia. Is it awesome there? I imagine that it is

JBrianne · June 2011

Good morning! I feel like I am always here in the morning when things are their quietest. This is why I missed coffee talks! DS just finished breakfast and I am contemplating what to eat. We have nothing even remotely desirable in the house right now unless I would like to eat potato salad for breakfast.

How is Katy sleeping? Getting back to normal? Dash went down early (for him) last night and stayed asleep till 6:30am which, considering his last feed before bed was 6 (it's usually 8) is pretty amazing.

CherryStarburst · June 2011

Here! And good morning to you too, Cherry!

Re-vacuuming and moving the furniture back is the worst part of having carpets cleaned. And I hope you can get that laundry folded quickly - I did all of mine over the weekend so now I'm set for a few days (thank goodness!).

Hi BK! I'm jealous that you are done with your laundry, I am never done

Australia is wonderful, and you should absolutely come here... but wait until your dollar gets better, because with the US dollar you can really live it up sometimes, but not now!

I love it in the states, I've spent sometime there, but never in PA. My parents visited there and loved it though.

Hi JBrianne! I couldn't believe how dead it was here, lol! I kept hitting refresh and nothing, not even views. Wake up people! haha.

Katy slept bad again last night, I think, I'm pretty out of it at night now and have just resigned myself to cosleeping/bedsharing. Everytime I lay her down in her crib she wakes up and won't go back to sleep, but if I'm holding her in bed and she wakes up she goes right back to sleep without a fuss. So both of us sleep better with bedsharing, so that's how it's going to be for a while I suppose. ::shrugs::

That's awesome Dash slept good for you! I hope it continues!

Chrissy1019 · June 2011

Good morning. We just finished breakfast and now he's playing. I'm so tired. I think I might go back to sleep when he take a nap at 9. Last time I got my carpets cleaned they did a terrible job. It didn't even look like they did anything. I really should do it again just for hygenic purposes but I have to find another company to do it. I'll be around here on and off all day.

Shelley-Bean · June 2011

I'm here! I'm sitting here watching the boys play. I have the day off, so I'm planning on going to the YMCA and swim today, and going to Music in the Park with the boys this evening. Should be fun!

tkvoisin · June 2011

Hey, hi, hello. I'm here. Somehow with our AC running I totally slept through Quinn getting up last night and DH ended up sleeping with her on the couch. So I got a nice night almost all to myself in the bed. It was glorious.

I'm totally jealous of your clean carpet Cherry. My living room needs to get done sooooo bad.

Other than that I've got to put some laundry away today and then work for a bit and then I have no real plans. Maybe a walk.

I totally understand that! Some weeks mine gets bad if I put it off (like this past week), but laundry for 3 doesn't get close to laundry for 5 - I definitely feel for you with that! And at least it's not like the Duggar family's laundry.

How are the puppies doing? I saw the FB pics, and they look like they're getting so big! Do your kiddos get a chance to play with them?

yeah, thank God I don't have 19 kids! lol! Don't they hire someone to do their laundry? I seriously can't imagine ::shudder:: I can't believe how much more we have to do with 5, it's awful. It also doesn't help that it's my least favorite thing to do and I will do anything else to avoid it :P then I really get behind.

that sucks! I would have been so pissed! These people were really into their job, lol! they kept calling me down to look at stuff and make sure this and that was ok. They were very concerned with a particular stain that had been under the couch... I was like, "dudes it's ok, we'll just put the couch back over it", haha! they did a great job though, I should really give them a review or something.

Ouch - that's definitely rough! My H had to use a laundromat when he was in his apartment...that is, when I couldn't take his laundry home with me to do. I'm not a fan of laundromats or college dorm laundry areas, because I'm usually the person whose clothing ends up in Narnia (or wherever the "lost" laundry goes!). Hopefully your H gets that tile down so you can get your washer/dryer back!

Yeah, I don't love the laundromat. Luckily it is just across the road, and we haven't lost anything yet (knock on wood!)

Hopefully he'll get some done this weekend. It would help if we could be at home for a few days uniterrupted!

Judith is so cute, I love the smile on her face in your siggy

I'm here for a few and will pop in throughout the day. Abigail is rolling around on the floor and still trying to crawl. It is so funny. She gets on all fours and scoots/hops with her knees. I love it.

I am exhausted because she was up all night. I am over the no sleep bologna.

The library sounds like a great idea-maybe we'll go too!

JBrianne · June 2011

Oh man there is so much cleavage happening in that gif. I'm giggling a lot.

To join the laundry conversation: I am never done laundry. Between running clothes and diapers, I'm surprised any of our regular clothes actually get done at all. I'm just glad Dash has stopped barfing 10 times after every meal (that is NOT an exaggeration) - I used to have to do a load of towels every day too because of it.

Yeah, the jetlag does suck, but there's no way around it, and I don't get out to the states that often so I don't mind!

You should definitely bring your family out here one day. Save up your leave and do it properly though - come out for 3 weeks and really see the country!
