  I found out yesterday that the Daycare I was working for and left STILL doesn't have but 6 children! Because she still hasn't received her license! I laughed very heartily at this and count my blessings that I jumped ship when I did. She also has already gone through one other director and two more teachers. She "opened" July 1st!!!!!!!

  @andreab7412 Congratulations on the little girl!
  
  The other morning, I had a peanut butter and jam toast, and then I gave Tumaini kisses all over her faces without remembering to wash my face and brush my teeth. I know how sensitive she is to peanuts and I'm usually so careful! She got a small rash on her face. MOTY right here.
  
  Also, it was so cold here yesterday, but I didn't want to take my only pair of maternity jeans out of my hospital suitcase, so I wore shorts. I woke up with a sore throat this morning. My doctor thinks I could give birth any day now... Yup, MOTY. Welcome to the world little one, here, share my cold...

  I've started Christmas shopping and am excited about it.
  

  I started a wish list. Does that count? I really do need to start earlier than I normally do.

  I'm so excited about Christmas, I'm tempted to buy a Christmas tree now.  I have a coupon for Christmas Tree Shoppe!!!  I could be like my aunt and put it up right around Halloween

  We are skipping Christmas. I still plan on decorating and getting Gage some small presents. But as for the circus of 8 other Christmases we will skip those. I will either be 39 weeks pregnant or have a brand new squishy. Andplusalso we will be spending lots of money birthing this baby. I hate the little humorous white elephant exchanges. Last year we spent like $500 on gag gifts for them!!??! I would rather just spend time with people than spend a ton on gifts no one use. The baby can be my gift.

  I start Christmas shopping in January. You get such awesome deals on ornaments and such that way. I have a couple of plastic bins full of gifts sitting in my attic.
  
  I am always on the lookout to add more. Anything to avoid the stores after Black Friday!
  
  Oh and have any of you shopped the Lakeside Collection? One of my fav places to shop online for little gifts, but you can't wait to order. Seriously, if you place an order in the beginning of November, you may not get it for Christmas. So I justify early shopping that way.

  I have been pretending to be a lot sicker than I actually am so that MH will help more with K lately. K has been the clingiest thing EVER lately. Like seriously he can't be out of arms reach of me and I am going insane. We are having like 5 tantrums a day lately and its getting out of hand. I have had a little bit of m/s consisting of queasiness lasting most of the day and just a few times I have felt like I might get sick, but I haven't. However, as soon as MH gets home from work I act like I've been nauseous all day and feel too terrible to do anything. He can't do much, but I think he is milking this knee thing still now that we are a month out and I just want a little bit of help! Is that too much to ask for??

  I think it is rude and inconsiderate when parents do not get the DC teachers anything at the end of they year. I do not think that you need to spend a lot of money but cookies, a flower, or a thank you note is enough. Those ladies are saints and deal with 6+ kids a day who are not even related to them.

  Have you ever really sat and watched your kid poop? It's so weird. And I guess I'm fascinated. But I'm also mortified because I keep picturing my body doing it during my hours of labor. Ha!

  I'm still in amazement that such huge turds come out of a little body! How the hell was that all fitting in a diaper?

  I have a coworker who bought the study guide to take the boards, but has not been in a single related class. I'm waiting and hoping she spends her$300+ to sit for the test to be notified that she is not eligible to take the test.
  Study guide is NOT a substitution for the knowledge learned in the classroom!

  Today, I am not 100% sure I NEVER want another baby. More like 98% sure. Which sounds like nothing, but trust me, coming from 100%..... 98 is confession worthy. I'm freaking myself out over here.
  
  Freaking out, and sending hugs to @MissMusic‌.

  @missmusic - I'm sorry your DH dropped the ball on those two days. Your requests were completely reasonable and it really stinks that he didn't seem to realize how important they were to you.
  
  
  
  My FC: I judge my SIL's DH all the time. I love him, but the choices that he makes are awful. He and my SIL are in a really crappy financial situation, which he is completely in control of,  (a lot of debt, possibly at risk of foreclosing on their condo) and yet both of them decided not to work this summer. She is a teacher, and he works in a school. I get that they both "have" summer off, and it makes sense for one of them to stay home with their son in the summer. But, as a teacher who works and knows plenty of others who do in the summer, it makes me furious that they both sit at home all summer (when they aren't traveling, anyways) while they openly admit to collectors calling them and not being able to pay their mortgage.
  
  Oh, and they just announced they are pregnant and have known about it since the end of June. I'm obviously happy for them but I also judge the crap out of my BIL even more now for not getting a job in the summer. I feel like such a bitch admitting this, because I know it's not my business.
