I had my teeth cleaned today and I'm always a little worried that my tongue is all up in their business but they are too polite to comment on my wayward tongue.
Well it turns out Grayson doesn't like cherry flavored medcines. I gave him his medicine before bed and it made him gag. He threw up all over himself and my brother...
@ColieAnn31 we had a similar problem. We started stripping him down and putting the medicine from the syringe onto a spoon. He would eat it off the spoon with a quick water chaser and be ok. Switching from Tylenol to Motrin helped too.
@Lizzybizzy80 it's benadryl that I have to give him. I might need to hunt down a grape flavored one. All his Tylenol and ibuprofen have been grape flavored.

I know the feeling of trying to help and making them gag and it sucks so bad. We haven't tried any grape flavors, let me know how it goes!
Today at daycare they learned about fire safety. We got home and FIL had a candle going for his mom's deathiversary. Benjamin flipped out. He could not calm down if he was in the same room as the candle. MIL had to move it to their bathroom.
@ColieAnn31 I know Benadryl has bubblegum flavor, I can't ever remember seeing it in grape though.
I have some grape benadryl but it's allergy and sinus medicine. Not just allergy. I'll have to call his doc and see if that's ok for him to take. I don't want to put him through the cherry again though and end up making it a pain to give him medicine.
Well I'm going to take the quiet on here as a sign that everyone's babies are sleeping well. Yay!!! Mine is too, but me...I've been up since 3:30. But at least I fell asleep at a decent time...?
KJ has to be at the new daycare an hour earlier than before to get breakfast and DH normally does mornings with her but he's gone so I have all the yawns this morning.
And I woke up with a cold sore right in the middle of my bottom lip
Well I think miss Madeline must be feeling better. The last few nights have been teething hell, and on top of that she's been fighting a bit of a runny nose/cold thing. She barely eats and wakes up starving wanting only a bottle at least 3x a night. Last night she went down at 6:30, I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep at 3:30 but I didn't hear a peep out of her until almost 8:00!!! I am so happy that she is finally in better spirits, and also that she didn't interrupt the little sleep I did manage to get
@winesconstantly we have the leaf/blower/vacuum and its great. Because of where our house is the leaves from the entire street end up on our small yard. I don't even bother using it as a leaf blower you need to change parts to switch functions, and you know, lazy. I just walk around the yard vacuuming all the leaves.
I'm not sure this is worth starting a new thread, but I could use some advice if anyone has experience with this type of situation...
DH's best friend came out to our place for dinner last week with his girlfriend. They've been dating since June. They had a big announcement. She is 12 weeks pregnant... My jaw just dropped. He is over-the-moon excited! He is 34, the sweetest guy, good looking,but has always had a tough time with serious relationships. He's eager to be married and have kids and I think he rushes things and that's one of the reason they never work out. To be clear, he didn't rush or push this. It was a definite oops, but I'm worried he is going to force things with this girl too much or end up getting used, and things will end badly.
Since there will now be a child involved, H and I thought it might be a good idea for me to sit down with him and just help him assess the situation. Sort of help him see all of the potential options in this case and remind him that moving in and marrying this girl is not the only answer. I do really hope that if its right their relationship works out. But I've heard things about her, in particular the way she has already been treating him, and I don't like the things I'm hearing. I just really don't know how to approach the whole thing without sounding like I am completely dooming their relationship.
Tl;dr but if anyone had time to read and has any advice, I'd really appreciate it. And if not, can you all just wish me luck and hope I dont make a complete ass of myself... This has moved beyond DH and I now. Both his sister and ex-fiance have also nominated me to do this lovely task, evidently I am then not one who's opinion he really respects and listens too. At least he did. I dont know if he will anymore
@mcbush, that's what we're here for! Hope you can get some rest later. I'm in that same boat with the coffee. Honestly 1 cup is not enough when you are living with a toddler!
I'm eating freeze dried peas for lunch and I dropped one. That little bugger disappeared like a cock roach (which I had one of those disappear pretty quick last night when I was trying to squash it). The peas are delicious, but I think I'm going to be finding peas everywhere in my office for a while now.
That was kind of my thinking too @Sympkin . I'm hoping that he actually is being semi-practical and does recognize the potential issues. He made a comment to his ex (they are still good friends and she is one of my closest friends) about this new gf being kind of mean sometimes. So I'm going into this lunch hoping that he will just open up, do most of the talking and I can give him some guidance (he's the kind of guy who needs to be "mom'ed " sometimes, if you know what I mean, and he fully expects me to do it)

Good morning. I ate breakfast but I'm still starving, I'm ill prepared for a meeting that is taking place in less than an hour (not my fault, still waiting on answers from someone else), and I have a million and one things I am supposed to be handling for an upcoming event at my son's school, but I have no idea when I will have the time. I'm pretty sure it means having to sacrifice sleep.

Now to see if I can manage to post this random thought in the right thread.
My neighborhood listserv cracks me up. Just this morning, there have been 12 emails about a wayward parakeet sighting. Last week, someone was freaking out about a potentially rabid fox in their yard. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to see if anyone manages to catch the parakeet!
Oh my god, I get those types of emails. We had a lady last week complaining about the geese destroying her yard and then a butthurt follow up about other neighbors not taking her complaints seriously.
@GraceInCA he is?!?! OMG he was on that set for so many years with all those kids! Just sick
I know. All those years, all those young girls. There are already 3 potential victims, and I'm guessing that means that in actuality there are dozens more out there. He admitted on tape to doing something inappropriate (that I don't have the stomach to type out) to his ex-wife's 11 year old relative.
He always creeped me out, but I think that was because I hated his character in First Wives Club. But ICCCKKKKK. I hope for his sake he doesn't run into me in a dark alley.
@mcbush our lunch actually went really well. Like you said, I didnt attack the relationship, just tried to remind him how tough having a baby is on a relationship and that I hoped he and gf would continue to focus on getting to know each other and take the relationship side of things at a reasonable pace (obviously with a baby coming it makes more sense to move in together a little sooner, etc). He totally got where I was coming from, so I'm just really happy that he isn't blinded by his excitement that he's forgetting about all of the potentially hard things to come. As far as her meaness being pregnancy related, it very well could be. But I am a firm believer that even though my hormones are raging as a pregnant woman it doesn't give me the right to treat everyone like crap all the time and expect my SO to do anything and everything I ask. i feel so much better after talking to him and it seems like he's handling the issues with her really well. He's being a good, attentive bf, but he's also standing up for himself when she's trying to walk all over him.
My company had a biggest loser contest and I didn't think I would win but I really wanted to win the raffle for the fitbit. My coworker who I told to enter just to win it did. Damn!
i know that not all of the fitbit users are in our steps challenge, so I'll leave this here:
A couple weeks ago my maybe 1 month old fitbit wristband broke. After a quick google search I found many people had the same problem and that Fitbit was replacing them for free. I emailed the company, got a quick response back asking for a pic of the damage. Once provided they got back to me offering to send a new wristband free of charge.
So if anyone has this happen, just email Fitbit with a pic right off the bat. They will provide you with a new one and save you the $30 (+/-) to replace it yourself
@andreamarie77 what about an art project by DD (and you, lol) I'm not very crafty or creative but Pinterest always has great ideas for stuff like that. And then you could also include a framed pic of the two girls together, but the whole gift wouldn't be riding on you getting a perfect picture of the girls in such a short amount of time
@andreamarie77, what about an handmade ornament using both LO's footprints and making a santa face. I did that last year for the grandparents and they loved them! Wasn't too hard and they will have it every Christmas to pull out and look at
Re: Bang bang into the SPAM! (I know you want it)
Just caught up on it.
I don't wanna wake up...I'm on a call with Asia and having to be perky and nice...but I'm in my jammies so that's difficult

Why does Tuesday feel like Monday?
