DS only took a half hour afternoon nap, which I can usually get 1 1/2 hours from, so I am putting him in the car and going shopping. I'm banking that he will fall back asleep in the car or mall. Hopefully.

I'm so jealous of the ladies who can sew. DH can sew better than I can.

I've come up with a remarkable number of projects which can be made by sewing only straight seams.

Of course, my straight isn't all that straight.

I think I want a French press. Anyone have one? Do you like it? Are they created equal?

DH uses his all the time. I don't drink coffee so I can't really say more than that!

My sister used to use one, they loved it. I think it may have broken though, and now they have a vacuum one. It's pretty cool to watch!

I have puppy fever SO bad. Like, maybe my fat cat will run away so I can have a puppy. Err...

Ahhh I do too!!! DH and I actually had the "new puppy" talk, kind of like the same talk we have when we are thinking about another kid lol. Looks like we may welcome a new one this winter.

After 2 mins, and laying on his side for most of that time, DS finally rolled from belly to back all by himself. Slow and steady wins the race right?

janellemj928 · August 2014

DD still hasn't rolled...she gets on her side and stays there for a bit, but always flops back over to her back. No signs of even going belly to back, either.

hlm184 · August 2014

DS decided to forget that he knew how to roll and was rolling all over for a week. Now he just wails.

thomas930 · August 2014

No rolling here either. He was trying really hard though today.

hlm184 · August 2014

When DS gets up from his nap I need to go say goodbye to my neighbor and BFF here. That's one of the worst parts of the military, meeting people just to say goodbye. I made her a big batch of cookies for the drive, I figure she'll need them, driving with a two year old!

On the other hand, who knows what the future holds, right? We just found out that when we move in January, we'll be stationed with our neighbors from Alaska again.

@hlm184 I have a magnet to keep my sewing straight. Works great for hems and such. For bigger things I just eat the time and use a meter stick and tailors chalk. I have this model machine:

Edit: this is not my machine but the same model. Mine's not as pretty. The decorations are long since gone. And my desk is very plain.

thomas930 · August 2014

@kendraColeslaw - I'm not sure yet. We know we want a female because our male would pair better with one and we want another xlarge-giant breed. Dh wants big and fluffy and he gets to take the lead on this one since our current pup is pretty much mine and I picked him. DH would love a wolf hybrid again. He rescued one before, but I'm not real sure about that with young kids.

One word, Cosplay. That's the only reason I know how to sew.

SoulTermination · August 2014

At all the restaurants that have some sort of "kids eat free" special, part of me wants to ask if that means I get to eat free since my milk feeds my kid. XD

@Bluebird2318‌ I dunno, my baby's pretty lazy. She STILL doesn't have a job :-w

@jellysparkles She totally has a job! She's your boss, isn't she?

My DS is like that WaterSaver Faucet Co. CEO who set weekly time limits on employee bathroom usage but didn't set time limits for his private bathroom.

How does the magnet work? I think my problem is that I can't cut straight lines. I feel like if I had a big table I could use a straight edge and chalk.

@KendraColeslaw‌ Newfies are my favorite!!!! I want one so badly

Yeah, I wouldn't go down the hybrid road with kids either. You could get a Newfie! My mom is actually looking at leonbergers because she loves newfies and mastiffs and they look like a mix!

I love Newfies too. I suggested the breed and he is going to look into it. We may end up with another Leonberger.

Merriwether just spat up. Into my coffee. My freshly made coffee. I'm so impressed by her aim that my awe is overriding my frustration.

I went to the sleep study doctors office and got hit on 3 different times on the 3rd floor. (Not bragging- highly unusual) Two men went out of their way to help me find the right office, one insisted on walking me there. Another guy even gave me his card, and I was wearing my wedding ring, WTF! I was thinking wow the pregnancy/bfing hormones must be like phermones. Then I remembered I have big tits now. Having boobs is like some kind of super power!

Well today has been a wash. LO has only taken ONE 30-minute nap today, not exaggerating. She's never done that before. I need to cleeeaaan!! But I'm stuck on the couch.

Aryssa will only nap laying on me today. So much for getting anything done. The dog somehow shredded two diapers all over te bedroom and i wanted to go to target

hlm184 · August 2014

Hours of entertainment (or five minutes at least): Sit LO up next to a guitar and let them "strum" the strings. DS was utterly fascinated!

Re: cute blankets
The last thing we need in this house is another effing blanket. I would need to have 7 children and move to the North Pole to utilize all of the ones we have...

That's a neat idea! My guitar, which I have yet to learn to play, could actually get some use if I do that.

I get a good 45 minutes every day going through my instruments, playing them for a while, and then supervising M while he examines them. The guitar is just the only one he can get noise out of so far!

Xxlilies · August 2014

Yeah I don't really need Any more blankets either I just have purchasing issues

I'm sure I could make it cheaper but I can't sewe or craft
Credit card swiping I can do

Apparently today is a sleeping only on Mommy day...

LaBelle0412 · August 2014

I was noticing today during tummy time how small most of the blankets I got as gifts really are now that she has done some growing. What can you do with so many small blankets? Other then donate I mean

Question for those that pump in the car (here's looking at you @mrscrcalli if you are ever around) -- how do you put on the seatbelt?

Put seat belt on first then plug yourself in.

Manda+panda · August 2014

Thanks bosses. I love pumping in a room with no blinds on a window that faces directly into our own building. Enjoy the view, fellow co-workers and patients!

Jiggle your tits at them. Watch how fast you'll get blinds. Lol

Reusable wipes? I just put a stack of the plain, not special ones in the sewing room for that reason.

Xxlilies · August 2014

I guess you could make a quilt with the smaller blankets or for the uncoordinated like me , you could just use them as car seat /travel blankets

knotty-girl · August 2014

I need to stop jumping the gun on diaper changes. Jack just went through 5 diapers in one changing. Every time I pulled the old one out from under one he'd poop again on the new one. Trying for the world's largest carbon footprint.

chichi589 · August 2014

How do you say the name Coe? Is that a nickname? Is that rude to ask in the hairy thread?

Xxlilies · August 2014

Co? Or maybe co- ee

Someone asked me how to spell Drake the other day . As far as I know there aren't any alternate spellings
