Re: Thursday randoms
We made the decision in September/October to keep the names we like, and are considering a secret. We didn't even discuss the name that we have now until November at some point.
Prior to that every time we'd think of a name he'd call his aunt and mom to "get their opinion. "
I'm thinking that's what he did when he let them know the name that we have was on the table for a potential name.
Anyway- it just sucks because I feel like his whole family must know the name now, and it takes the excitement out of sharing the name once he arrives. Not only that, I don't want his one aunt to think she had any influence in the name, and she named him.
Anyway-
another random.
I'm so freaking tired. Went to bed around 9 pm. Was sleeping so glorious, then was woken up at 12 by fireworks and neighbors cheering ringing in the new year. I didn't get back to sleep until around 230 or 3 am. Just to be woken up by a text by my son's dad at 630 am.
Apparently the flight I booked charges an additional $160 fee for unaccompanied minor! He's 5 months from being 15! All other Airlines are $50 fee until the age of 12! When I booked his flight online NOTHING was mentioned about having to pay the free. So now my cheap ticket $150 turned into a $310 ticket, one way, for 2 hours, non stop! He flew international alone at the age of 8 and 9 (Germany to Arizona) for $100 unaccompanied fee. So dumb! !!
To top it all off, got a letter in the mail yesterday saying we owe $120 for a maintenance request I had done on our rental back in early November. For replacement light bulbs, 4 AA batteries to be changed, and the carpet tac strip to be nailed back in since we were tripping on the loose carpet and stepping on the nails!

It's 7 hours into the new year, and things are going fabulous! (Sarcasm)
I also got all the little neural baby clothes washed and folded yesterday. I love that part of getting prepared for baby. I'm going to talk to hubby about when we should install the car seat. (It gets in the way for our older 2 when they have to get out of our van for school so we haven't been in a rush to do it, and it's a convertible seat so it's big).
Happy January everyone!
@nah82 I'm sorry your night was so bad. 2015 will be better no matter what just keep reminding yourself of that!
DSS: 15 DS: 7
DD born 1/3/15
So excited for you! Lots of T&P, can't wait to meet Xander!
@britb618 you are so dang cute! And it sucks baby girl wasn't feeling well, but good that she started the new year feeling bettern
We had a pretty uneventful nye. DH and I ran errands in the afternoon and then he spent the evening setting up our digital antenna the way he wants it. I snuggled with the dogs and watched nye specials. DH fell asleep before midnight so I kissed my dog at midnight.
Now I'm snuggling on the couch with the dogs watching the Rose Parade. Don't have too many plans for today. DH is working on projects and I will sign us up for Netflix.
DS has these toy plastic pliers, and last night he figured out how to use them and went around the house clipping pieces of greenery and dragging them around. So I need to sweep today, but I'm going to rest for 30 minutes first.
I feel like it's still possible to have a New Years baby for me (except he'd be really early and my dd was due date, so not very likely!) her and I are 12 days apart so it's exciting that our sons will share the same birth month too!
@papapalie I'm so excited for you! Good luck! Sending T&P
Last night was fun! We celebrated NYE by going bowling with family and friends. DS learned to bowl for the 1st time and he stayed up way past his bedtime! It was a blast!
Happy New Year's Everyone!
Hope everybody enjoyed 2014, I know 2015 will be full of excitement and special moments. OH! and babies!
I had a strawberrita and was lightly buzzed from that tiny little can! Guess that's what happens when you don't drink for 10+ months lol!
Hope the day gets better for you ladies having a not so great day.
I'm going to enjoy my 2nd..3rd? cup of coffee and avoid the nasty weather outside.
Good luck!
So now he has in a bad mood and stressing about everything that still has to be done. Sorry dear I have been telling you. Men!
Yikes @hiphopdancer2007, what was he going to do when you really go into labor? Send it back? lol
black-eyed peas = coins ($)
collard greens = cash ($)
cornbread = gold
ham = Some people say "saltiness" (like salt of the earth) or "resourcefulness" (since pigs forage for food), but I think it's mainly just for flavor
But I don't really love those things and don't feel like going to the store, so I think we'll have chicken pot pie for dinner. Hopefully this will be a lucky enough year for us even if we eat the wrong thing for NY dinner!
But that's a lot of effort, so frozen lasagna it is!!
DH just left to return a redbox movie and took DD because she LOVES going anywhere in the car. She stood at the door and said "bye bye" excitedly for like 5 minutes before they actually left. He said he'd drive her around for a bit since the redbox is only a mile from home. I'm enjoying a few minutes of having the house to myself!
