Loving the BBC tribute to "God Only Knows" going around you.tube. It was in my top 3 for possible wedding songs. We didn't pick it but I still love the song.
Why does my daughter keep coming home from daycare with diaper rashes?!!?!! Seems to be a reoccurring weekly event and its only Tuesday. She doesn't get them on the weekends and I send her there on Mondays with a healthy bottom and here we are. I wrote the director to see what their diaper changing policy is because I can't think of what else it can be other than them letting her sit in poop too long. They change her every couple of hours according to a report they give daily but I'm wondering if they change her from a wet diaper and then she poops a few minutes later, do they leave her in it? Feel so bad for her...we just had some extended bath time so that the water could give her some relief...and then she was having so much fun, she cried because she didn't want to get out.
@kari5186 you're a lady after my own heart!!! I love ghost hunters, this time of year and all the cases that Lorraine has worked on!!! My hubby thinks I'm a whack a doodle with how much I enjoy this stuff but he can kiss my butt.
My husband set up an alert for the NASA "Spot the Space Station" thing. He got to see it in the sky today and he's totally geeking out. It's pretty cute.
@melOHdy I think it depends on so many factors. For example, if my husband got a job in his same field in a different area of Alberta we would probably buy. We already know he likes his job and are familiar enough with the cities and towns in the province that I wouldn't have trouble choosing a neighbourhood, etc. if the position was something new (that he or I was maybe unsure about, even if it was a fantastic opportunity) or in a province/country we weren't as familiar with, we would probably rent for a year to see how everything worked out.
KJ cries when I left daycare today. This time it was full out crying and they had to take her away from me. An hour later I am still trying to hold back tears…
I'll drop this here. After some suggestions I'm going to change-up the format the weekly budgeting/savings check-in. Each week will focus on a different personal finance topics (credit cards, groceries, saving for LO ect.). Feel free to participate or just answers other's questions even if you don't want to "check-in" every week.
@andreamarie77 By coincidence this week's topic is going to be gifts!
@wasnotwas - I hope they replace the FitBit for you! If for some reason they don't, though, you can try putting it into the charger and wedging something (like a paperclip) between the FitBit and back end of the charger so that they contacts stay touching. Or you can use a binder clip, tape, or rubber band to hold it in place, too.
Obviously these are all a pain in the ass and shouldn't be needed - but just an option in case they refuse to ship you a new one.
In the past I would wrap a hairtie around it but if I don't get it right before it dies completely it doesn't work, which is what happened this time. I will be emailing them today!!
@wasnotwas I hope they get back to you quickly and agree to replace it. They responded to my email regarding my wristband same day. I would give them a detailed account of the problem, and include the name of the retailer and a copy of your receipt if you have it. Other than requesting that info from me we had no more back and forth emails before they simply asked for my address and shipped me a new one.
Sorry, I know I haven't contributed anything lately but I'm overwhelmed and desperate. DD is on day 3 of refusing naps. Please help me! She's sitting in her crib talking to herself right now.
How many naps does she take now? Maybe it's time to change her schedule. Can you take her on a walk before naptime or do something that you know will tire her out?
Striderite boots and some shoes are on kid.steals.com today, up to 50% off. The sizes are kind of all over the place and going quick, but if you need girls boots or shoes for either boys or girls hurry over and check it out!
@mommycoffee, we've had days like that too. Does she normally only take 1 nap a day? When we were mid transition from 2 to 1 we had days with 2 naps, days with no naps and sometimes 1 nap. It took about 2 weeks for her to really get straightened out.
Sookie was in no way related to dick-pic gate. MBK deactivated for privacy reasons because the screenshots CG was offering to share on FB had her personal info.
@wasnotwas - thanks for the clarification. I retracted my post to take out the misinformation. CGs GBCB was so vague, and so few people know the real story that rumors are now being spread.
If you could go edit my quote in your post, I'd appreciate it.
No worries love! Bread was/is a good friend and the sookie thing was part of the reason she left so I wanted to clarify there are two dramatic situations that have gone down, well so far...that we know of
@Mommycoffee i finally had to force her to push through the morning tiredness (if she was getting tired) and wait until the same time every day to put her down for her 1 nap. I honestly was only successful with this if we were out of the house all morning, came home for lunch at noon and she went down at 1. We went to play group or story time at the library, then the park and she came home just exhausted. Even if we stayed busy at home I found it wasn't as successful as being out and about. Once she did this consistently for a few days, it didn't really matter anymore and we went back to our old routine but with a new nap time.
@melOHdy my H was in a similar situation this spring. He handed in a resume to a new company (doing the same type of job) and waited for a call back. He knew one of the other guys at the company who suggested he call the foreman because they had talked about H in a meeting and everyone thought he'd be great for the position. Fast forward 2 months and 3 phone calls to the foreman (all which seemed promising each time, but he never got a call back), he finally calls again thinking he has nothing to lose. Basically at this point they hadn't filled the position, H was convinced they just didn't like him but figured he'd take one last run at it. They had him come in the same day for an interview and signed all the hiring paperwork that day too. As it turns out, the foreman was kind of a flake and the company was going through some changes and had put a hiring freeze on right after H's first conversation with the foreman. They were waiting until they got the ok from head office to start hiring again but no one had the foresight to mention this to H any time he called.

I totally thought the two were related. I just know there was a massive behind the scenes thing with dick-pic-gate, and then CG's post was so out there and weird.
I'm waiting for the dust to settle before I even try to post anything over there. Unless I find a good Benny pic. Those give me street cred.
Parenting has been a train wreck lately.
I do agree that vague bumping only adds fuel to the fire. Say what you have to say so there is no speculation and things can die down.
I'm really sad that MBK was involved. I liked her. ---------------------------------------------- I think it's really childish to bring off-board drama to the board.
I'll be the first to admit that I don't like seeing bare bump pics but I think I'd have a serious issue if our board had a rule against them - people have a right to post whatever pics they want. Who was it that took handstand bump pics until she was like 8-9 mos along?
Yeah, I think that's a strange rule. I'm not one to share my bare bump pics with the internet - but rock on to anyone who is comfortable enough to do so! I certainly am not bothered by seeing them!
and reading further into that thread...of COURSE stargirlb would make an appearance!
-------------------- I have a sudden desire to post a pic of my still squishy, pp, bare tummy on that thread.... While bfing.
So N has been in the older infant room since she started at daycare. They're waiting to have a space in the toddler room to move her up, and licensing requirements didn't allow them to move her up until she was 15 months anyways. She turned 15 months last Sat, so I really want to get her in the toddler room as much as possible.
She isn't sleeping AT.ALL in the infant room for her nap. So I pushed the director to figure out a way to get her in the toddler room for a nap because I really thought that she would nap better there. She was responsive, but explained there were current limitations due to the ratio. And that she didn't think it would necessarily help much - some kids just take longer to adjust to nap time at a daycare. She had two days this week without napping at all, and finally the director could get her into the toddler room to nap today.
I just got an email from the director: "She fell asleep right away! The lights were still on and 2 kids were crying when she passed out. I have no idea how that was any different than the infant room, but it worked!!"
I just want to say "I TOLD YOU SO." And, I've always questioned my mom-intuition thing or the assumption that Mom knows best, or at least I've always thought "I'm not sure I really know better.." and doubted myself. So I feel super validated. To be honest, after pushing so much to get her to nap in the toddler room, I was totally worried it would be just as much of a train wreck as the infant room, and I'd have to be like "oh well, guess I was wrong"
I have to say that weird M15 HDBD makes me scared for the day I get pregnant again - new BMBs are weeeeeird. I do not remember that much drama on our board. I mean yes, of course there was *some* drama, but maybe I'm misremembering?
I'll be the first to admit that I don't like seeing bare bump pics but I think I'd have a serious issue if our board had a rule against them - people have a right to post whatever pics they want. Who was it that took handstand bump pics until she was like 8-9 mos along?
I remember that and @nykkolaughs and I had beach bump pics near the end as well.
@Michelin82 I think calling to ask for a timeline (hoping they say "we've got the results right here!) would be completely acceptable and wouldn't put you in the "that mom" category.
@numbersgirl08 I'm so happy she was able to nap. When you posted originally about the problem I felt so bad for you guys because I also felt like she needed to be in the toddler room. I would be a mess if my kids wasn't napping because of the environment at DC.
It's winesday Wednesday tonight thanks to H's work dinner (that I will be attending with him) and working from home tomorrow. It's going to be tough not to eat ALL the cheese
