Guess who is shopping for beds and night stands? MEEEEE

Any good info on a cheap scalloped headboard?

$500 for this puppy, but I don't love the color (rather have grey) or legs and reviews say it's good for the price but chinky.

$500 is pretty cheap. If you feel comfortable buying online and just going off reviews, try overstock. I think I am going to get James' twin beds on Overstock.

Yesterday when I got to DC to pick up L, I actually picked her up again. She was so excited since it was the first time in nearly 3 weeks that I have picked her up that she said, 'Oh, Mommy!" and grabbed my face and kissed me. It was the cutest thing I have ever seen her do.

Guys, I think I got that new job. I haven't heard from them yet but my current boss just came in and mentioned that I'm leaving the team. He also asked when I'll know more about it though, so I'm cautiously optimistic.

Also Joss&Main has lots of options around that price range (not sure on shipping)https://www.jossandmain.com/Beds~CL12.html#SKY7037

I know you said scalloped, but I am loving wingback right now. A bit more expensive though.

Whether it's in a first apartment or updated guest suite, this handmade wingback bed offers the perfect finishing touch for any space. Pair it with crisp she...

Insurance question.

I think we are going to switch to a Marketplace plan. Open enrollment is 11/15/14 to 2/15/15. I'm due 2/12 - do you think it would be better to switch now or wait until DD is born? It's cutting it pretty freaking close with the birth date, but I had W a week or two early (how terrible that I don't remember).

Don't wait for the birth. That could be a hot mess timing wise. Just because you're early on one doesn't mean you'll be early or on-date next time. Had a friend go almost two weeks over on #2 after #1 was two weeks early.

FFFC-I'm struggling with my toddler. He doesn't listen anymore and I swear since Abby was born the devil is in him. He sits in timeout a lot lately. I've taken days with just him to spend more time with him and tried to show him he's still important, but he acts like a jerk all.the.time.

DH gets home tonight after a week away and I really hope he'll take DD for a while on his own this weekend. She and I are getting on one another's nerves. I truly think this happens with kids, even this young. I'm annoying the crap out of her, and she's returning the favor.

AKB090609 · November 2014

I was just accidentally sent an email basically calling me a superior and self serving bitch because I told our host that my kids don't need highchairs or special food for Thanksgiving weekend. Oh, and I'm 'hoarding' the baby because I said we don't need her to buy bottles.

1) DD1 sits in a regular chair, so she doesn't need a highchair

2) DD2 doesn't eat, so she doesn't need a highchair

3) I would love it if DD2 would take a bottle and I didn't have to 'hoard' her

I can't decide how/if I want to let her know she sent the email to the wrong person on her contact list, let alone what to say about what she apparently thinks of me. Part of me wants to confront her and tell her how wrong she is, and the other part thinks I should just delete the email and let it slide as a vent she probably didn't mean.

I totally agree. DH gets 6 straight days off a month and those says he has DS alone for most of it. By the end of the stretch they are both ready to take a break from one another. One more reason why DS has started to go to an IHDC on Wednesdays.

That sucks. Depending who it is in relation to me, I would probably send back a quick "We don't have to go if it is a problem for us to be there." Just to let her know she sent it to you. But if it was someone like grandma-inlaw, I would let it go.

A lot of people on Camden's BMB and IRL friends that had babies at the same time are starting solids. I'm over here like...NOPE! It's not even a "you should wait until 6 months" thing, it's a "I know how much extra work that is and I'd rather not right now" thing. Seriously, feeding a toddler solid food is enough work, I don't need to add the baby in early, too! I seriously may wait until he's 7 or 8 months old.

YES! So much more work and getting a toddler to eat is hard enough. Yes.

She didn't show up to a meeting today that she facilitates and didn't have the courtesy to tell me, so I could be prepared to facilitate. We also had an important discussion about restructuring our intervention process that I'm pretty sure she knew would be happening. Now there are definitely emergencies that arise in our job, but it's unlikely that she was unable to send a quick email. This is just one of many things she's done recently, which is why I'm so worked up about it. /rant

Why don't you think you can talk to her about it? Says the most spineless, non-confrontational person in the world. I'm just curious, not criticising.

Pokedot · November 2014

I went home on lunch and DH is home with DS today. He gave him a midday bath. I was greeted by a naked firefighter (hat and boots.) If only I could show the pictures I took of his cute naked tush. Blackmail some day!

I would let it slide. But then I would dream of sending a reply that says only, "Ooops!

"

ETA: Either way it's fun, because she's going to shit herself when she realizes her mistake!

tinyhumantoe · November 2014

A $650

B $640

C $844

D $922

Which one? I'm inclined to do the cheapest because when we move in a couple years I'll want a different bed. My linens are white, so I"m torn between the light gray and dark charcoal (where the rivets really stand out)

tinyhumantoe · November 2014

Oh, and I have a window behind my bed. I'm thinking "C" would block it the least, and "D" the most.

The legs on "A" look nicer than the rest IMO, but I don't like any of them so who cares.

ETA: Oh haaay, look how the headboard continues down on A but cuts off at the pillow line on the others. Hmm.

tyrannasaurusjess · November 2014

@Eastie156‌ I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. Sorry to her your toddler isn't adjusting as well as you'd hoped. Jasper was the same way. I don't have a ton of advice, and the only thing that worked for us was just making sure we spent a bunch of one on one time with him, which it sounds like you're already doing. Hang in there! It will get better!

I like B, but I like darker colors (I have a black bed). And I think B looks shorter than C and would block the window the least. A is my second favorite but I like the trim being on the outside edge (like in B & C) better than the extra boarder of fabric. Can't go wrong though, all great options.

THT I like A. We got a dark headboard, and I hate that it's so dark. It really brought down the overall feel of our room.

ETA: I see you have a black frame now. We went from no frame to a thick, solid, dark brown, so it was a drastic change.

I was all ready to buy a couple for James' (and one day Leo's) room and DH put the big veto on it because he thought it looked too stuffy for little boys. Boo-urns. So now I am going in a completely opposite direction with manly iron beds for them.

Pull a dick move and either respond with what you typed here or just a simple I think you sent this to the wrong person.

I think it's really dumb to not use all of your vacation days. I view them as part of my overall salary package, and believe that time off ultimately makes me a better worker. Yet I'm always encountering people who let them go to waste.

I have three personal days that I have to use before 1/1 or I lose them. But I'm in training until 1/5. I'm saving them in case one of the boys gets sick, because I don't have another option, but if they don't get sick I will probably lose out on them. It makes me sad, but I'm too nervous to miss a training day.

Colby didn't start solids until almost 7 months. He turned out ok so far

Holly_1007 · November 2014

I make the bed every morning. I had to start doing it after I had keagan because I wanted to crawl back into it 40 times a day. For Christmas im going to pick out new bedding and decor to make my room more feminine. Obviously I will need s12 input

Holly_1007 · November 2014

MIL "fired" me this week. I have still been working for her Pt on weekends and evenings because I can definitely still use the money. On the one hand I'm happy about it because I was essentially working 65 hours a week, plus taking care of the boys and maintaining the house. I'm looking forward to the freedom of not having to work for her, but this puts me right back on a super tight budget until at least next fall when I re-do the boys school/daycare situations.

danabsd · November 2014

I've never had a job that you lose vacation if you don't use it. Unless you get to 425 (or some) hours of PTO then you no longer occur it unit you use it.

danabsd · November 2014

I gave Binny some squash last night. She ralphed it up. We'll wait and try again next week.

When I bring wine for a hostess I bring a bottle I pick because I like the label. It allows me try something new without committing to buying myself a whole bottle.

We can only carry 1 years worth of vacation over to the new year, so I am technically losing the carryover of my 2013 unused vacation. I haven't touched the 5 weeks earned this year yet.

I likely won't have to worry about that next year with potential multiple surguries and such.

And then they receive so many bottles that it doesn't get opened and I don't get to try it...womp womp
