@HoneyB1993‌, A has low muscle tone so we did PT for a little over 6mo and it helped. I have a feeling she will need ST too which I feel really sad about so I know how you feel. But stay strong and know that you are doing the best you can for your LO.

All this TG talk is making wish I planned our trip stateside different this year. We are making a quick trip back to Montreal and Denver at the end of the year maybe I'll have my mom make me a TG feast. TG in January is the new thing. Right?

Did we ever decide if we were going to do a secret Santa swap this year?

@calikat80‌ how does your fitbit do when running? Is it anywhere close to being accurate?

No, not on longer runs. It never keeps up and always short changes my mileage, on runs that I know how long they are for sure. It's a little frustrating wearing one as a runner because you technically take less steps- like half the amount- when running a distance or certain amount of time vs. walking. If you are looking to win with a step count you are better off walking than running so it's kind of a non-incentive!
It can keep up on shorter runs for the most part, but I don't find it anywhere near as accurate as something like my Nike app on my phone.

I don't like pie. At all.

needanustart · November 2014

I'm not big on desserts, but pumpkin pie and/or sweet potato pie are both my downfall. I can eat an entire pie in a sitting. It's like a vegetable, right? Also yummy trick is to add canned pumpkin and add a little pumpkin pie spice to pancake batter before making pancakes. So tasty and toddler approved!

megaroo64 · November 2014

Frosting is gross. Thus the basis of pie's appeal

I'm trying to let it go but the competitive OCD type person I am is having a really, really hard time accepting that I LOST my matchup in the head to head on Sunday because of my stupid glitchy fitbit. I can't even look at matchup without my blood pressure rising.

@calikat80 you were up against me on Sunday and I'm mad for you! I watched matchup all day waiting for your fitbit to update because I was so eager to see how you did! Between you and me, we both know you won. If I could change the results, I would.

@NaChelleBeck‌ my DH would probably be the same way. He needs lots of emotional support on the home front when he is going thought something big outside the house. He says he feels "off" if the boys and I aren't around and that would probably translate to him feeling off at work too. I, personally, would be like "Yaaaaaasssss! Silence and me time!" But he functions different than I do!

But if I came to your house for Bumpsgiving, would you serve pumpkin pie?

Bumpsgiving would have ALL the pie and cake with various frosting levels and cheesecake for me

and cookies with and without chips! And some gluten free stuff for @sctiger‌

itsStackie · November 2014

Typical Florida polls... :-w

riansmommie · November 2014

@NaChelleBeck‌ glad he verbalized his fears to you. I would stick around for that reason as well. FX that he sails smoothly through the process. Also yay for your mom coming to you and hopefully staying through Christmas, as well as you hopefully getting to visit her more after your hubby's promotion.

Is there anywhere, where the Libertarian vote actually wins anything?

Man I feel like it's a wasted vote around here. Had those people voted against the incumbent, we might see some change this time! I'm not liking the way the governor race is looking.

They used to win in Montana when I lived there. Generally speaking they are pretty nuts. I like a lot of them, but nuts all the same. My sister is a registered lib but in NY it's usually not a big factor to vote for a third party candidate.

@catalinapink I really wouldn't worry yet about not having words. Arlo has so few, and we Just started picking up this week that he is trying to pick up little phrases, not just words. He thinks if he makes syllables and uses different intonation he is using words correctly and he has just started matching the sound with the syllable, if that makes sense. I think the big thing is being able to understand what you are saying.

@subliminalrabbit‌ I have some terrible news...Benny is engaged

lioness13 · November 2014

I'm shocked so many of you haven't had sweet potato pie. It was such a big part of my life. Still is. Every year since I moved away from home my grandmother has mailed me 2 sweet potato pies for Thanksgiving. She makes the best! She also makes a 7-Up cake which is uh-mah-zing!

lioness13 · November 2014

Last night I watched two or three episodes of The Walking Dead with DH. I am not following the series but he is watching on Netflix so I decided to watch with him so we could spend some time together. Last night I dreamed that I was on an island, maybe Jamaica, and I was with a group of people trying to get off the island to get away from zombies. Conversation this morning:

Me to DH: I had awful dreams that I was running away from zombies on an island last night. It was scary!

DH: did they catch you?

Me: No.

DH: Good job! (slaps me on my ass and walks away.)

needanustart · November 2014

G: I'm going to put this on my penis!
Me: no! Don't!
G: why not? It looks like a penis holder!
Me: silence
Seriously, I don't have a good argument most of the time, especially when it comes to putting things on his penis. (and it does kind of look like a toddler penis holder).

lioness13 · November 2014

@violet1183‌ - I just try to distract her like you did with the mango. KJ gets fixated in items I out in the cart and she acts like they are hers.

cynthia2007 · November 2014

@violet1183‌, I also try to distract her with something and my car keys seem to always do the trick bc she can shake them. Works almost every time

needanustart · November 2014

So DH didn't see any election results until this morning and I only have him a little run down and I tried to stay upbeat and talk about cycles and how it was going to be ok. He obviously started reading the full results on the train this morning because I just got a text that said, "fuck this election straight to hell." I am going to have one angry progressive liberal at the dinner table tonight. We agree politics wise but he gets so much more upset about this stuff than I do. I am not looking forward to grumpy grumps tonight.

WasNotWas · November 2014

@violet1183 I tend to just leave if they are throwing a tantrum that can't be quelled, most of the grocery stores around here will hold your stuff in their big fridge for a bit so you can come back. But I always b-line to the dairy section and give the boys a cheese stick at the start of our grocery shopping trip. We pay for many open items...

daffy2k · November 2014

I couldn't keep up with you guys last night, so I've barely even skimmed. @CL8badB‌ I had wanted to post to you though. I'm sure some others have already given you advice re: anxiety, but I would also really recommend talking to someone. And don't be terrified of the meds, they aren't all bad. I struggled (and still do) with anxiety primarily in HS and for a few years after. I was misdiagnosed in HS with depression because at that time I couldn't really identify what was causing me to feel the way I was, I was just sick all the time. It wasn't until I saw a new therapist when I was 19 that she really zeroed in on the problem and I finally started to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I needed meds, but none of my doctors have ever been ok prescribing a young girl something dependent if they could avoid it. So I started with an anti-anxiety med that I could take as I felt I needed it. That was enough for me to start getting through classes, work, driving at night, etc. With therapy I learned lots of great coping strategies and am now much more in tune with my body in the sense of recognizing the anxiety before it gets unmanageable. I still usually keep an anti-anxiety script in the medicine cabinet, but I very rarely have to take one.

This is what I thought. Wasn't he caught cheating or something? Or was that someone else? Lol

musicalsilver · November 2014

I've been slacking on my bumping this week I feel like. I've read all the words though. I'm just totally wiped out and feeling intermittently nauseous for the last three days, which is the worst.

LO has been sleeping extra horribly this week. I don't know what's going on. The first night of it (over the weekend) he screamed and screamed and finally had a big gassy poop, so I figured he was just having some GI issues as a result of something he ate or something that would mean things would be fine since it'd passed. Nope. Nights have been super scream-y despite me starting out last night with Tylenol to hopefully avoid it. Poor little guy. I just can't figure out what's bothering him. He's super clingy, but he's been doing that for the last month. Beyond that he's his normal chipper self during the day, so I really don't get it.

Suggestions for dealing with baby gas?

Maybe I should try giving him gripe water or something? We've been slowly reintroducing yogurt (it gives him serious diaper rash if he eats it every day) for its probiotic effect, but beyond that I'm pretty stumped.

This seminar may be the death of me. Rule 1 when giving a presentation: be charismatic!!! We are talking insurance and data entry. There's nothing exciting about this material, please don't sound so bored while you are giving us the information.

When I talk about Quickbooks and excel at dinner I try to use my Italian gusto and smile a lot but I always find DH's eyes glazing over. We can't all be journalists in the music industry buddy.

@NaChelleBeck‌ I don't know who that is but I'm guessing he's a big deal!

I am getting a massage this afternoon at 2. I told my office I have a chiropractor appointment. It's a essentially the same thing, kinda sorta, right?

It's a really good thing I eat in my office. If I were watching myself eat this roast with a plastic fork and knife, I'd be disgusted. It's bad.

I never watched it but I feel like it has been on TV for like, ever.

Election depression hangover. I knew it would go this way, I fully expected it, but it doesn't make it any less crappy. Now I'm going to try and get a few things done at work, and probably take a quick drive to Target at lunchtime to see if I can score some clearance costumes for baby girl to do dress up play.

GraceInCA · November 2014

One of my old co-workers is on Facebook and she's asking for help setting up her registry. She was asking if she should get a Bjorn or an Ergo, and overwhelmingly people were saying Bjorn. I am just not liking people today.

needanustart · November 2014

@graceinca MA didn't pass an expanded bottle deposit bill. So basically, recycling lost in Mass. That was pretty much the most depressing result I've seen, and the only one that really shocked me. Lobbyists did a damn good job making the measure seem like it was basically taking water away from underprivileged babies or something. We really are massholes today. Sigh.
