I have been fighting the cold from hell for a week now and I'm supposed to start my period tomorrow. I feel pretty craptastic. Not looking for *hugs* or pity. Just putting it out there so if I spontaneously combust at some point in the next few days, you will know why.
Good morning! On a light note: Ever get that lingering poop smell and get worried that it is on you? I mean, sometimes it is but today I think it's just lingering.
I have so much stuff to do. I wasn't going to start packing until tomorrow while Grayson is with his grandparents but I found out Alex will be gone almost all day tomorrow and I was counting on him helping me pack. So now not only do I have to do all the laundry today but I also need to start packing. Ugh. I hope Grayson is in a good mood today and doesn't need to be held too much. Good thing I just finished my wrap if he gets cranky!
Also, is soft, light yellow poop worth a call to the pediatrician? It's been a full day of the stuff without any more normal looking poos. No fever, though.
I was just watching a video on FB of a little girl singing to Elvis in her car seat but I was distracted by the cuteness because I could think about was that her car seat straps were wrong. You know you're a mom when...
I keep trying to get involved with other boards, but when I look at post I read about half a page then I realize I don't care and come back here. I :x you guys.
Things were very busy at work and home last week, we will see if I can keep up with spam this week.
I need to whine for a minute. I feel like a crappy sister. DH has a 13 year old sister, she was 5 when we started dating (so I've known her since she was 3). I've always been the sister she didn't have and I love her like she's my own sister. Recently I've been neglecting our relationship and I feel really bad about it. She became bulimic when she was 11-12 years old. I felt a lot of pressure to help her because I know how much she looks up to me but I had no idea what to do, I became very unsure of how to act around her and didn't hand out with her as much (she seems to be doing better now, thank God). She also became your typical tween, a little annoying and obnoxious so again, I haven't been getting together with her as much. I've been meaning to plan a shopping date with her to get back to school clothes but didn't get around to asking her yet. I found out she went back to school shopping with my sister and BIL's girlfriend yesterday and I'm a sad no one even thought to invite me to join. It just highlighted for me that I really have not been the greatest sister to her lately and should step up my game. I'm trying to think of something fun I could do with her and DD (she LOVES DD), any ideas?
There's a bird stuck in my fireplace, and I have no idea how to go about getting it outside. I'm afraid to open it and spend the next 3 hours trying to get it out of the house if it flies out. Any ideas?
Chocolate chip bagel or cinnamon crunch bagel from Panera?
Mondays are terrible for my blood sugar ...
Cinnamon crunch with hazelnut cream cheese!
=P~
I wound up doing the cinnamon crunch bagel - the less sugary half with honey walnut cream cheese, and the super sugary half with plain, because yeah, that makes me feel better about my choice ;-)
I'm glad I checked the weather for the week for where we are going. It's supposed to be cool all week and Grayson doesn't have any long pants that are long enough for him anymore. Now I get to go buy him some pants!

Yup, light a fire. Just some newspaper will do. Don't worry. You won't kill him. He will just fly out.
I still haven't announced my pregnancy on Facebook or to extended family. I don't like the attention and I have friends who have had losses and/or have been trying for a long time. I don't think I announced with B until like March. I also didn't say anything at work until right before I left for the summer, and only told the assistant principal. I'm going to show up huge in August... So awkward.
@araziza I second another shopping trip, with maybe a lunch date to catch up. eta: sorry for the delayed reaction, but I wanted to think about it more and what I would have appreciated back then.
I used to work at Panera in high school & college. You do not want to know how many calories are in a Cinnamon Crunch bagel. Add cream cheese and a frozen mocha and you are almost at your daily limit!
My favorite Panera bagel is the chocolate chip with reduced fat cream cheese. The toasted bagel melts the chocolate chips and then it melts into the cream cheese and swirls together. So fattening.
Ok, I need some advice. I wrote about this in the Bitchfest. DH's parents took out parent plus loans when DH was going through college in addition to the loans he took out. His parents have been making us repay these parent loans even though they are in his mother's name and they are for the parents, not the kid. They have been hard on us to pay since we have our own bills and his own student loans to pay and I am not working. We told them we don't have the money to pay them anymore and that they are really MIL's loan. Well they had a fit and his dad just called DH and told him that they are not going to pay them and we need to figure out a way to pay for them. Should we just suck it up and pay them or should we stand our ground and say they are not ours to pay?
@Seashell002 If they're in her name, the only person who is going to be hurt by not paying them is her, right?
If it were me personally, and we'd been paying them all along, I might try to make up some sort of transition plan with MIL. Something like she pays 25% for a couple months, then 50%, etc. so that they can adjust their budget accordingly.

At least tomorrow is a daycare day. I'll probably get to shower, sleep, and do a few chores!
Yay for a new spam thread! Maybe I can keep up this week.
I have this Friday and the following Monday off work. DD is going to daycare both days and mama is going to savor the alone time!

If she's a typical tween, two shopping trips would probably be awesome, so I don't think you have to change your plans necessarily.
