Wednesday Randoms

Morning!  Renee STTN again last night...WOOT!   

I really need to go grocery shopping.  We have no food.  I'm not even sure what I'm going to have for lunch.

Re: Wednesday Randoms

  • I got my hair cut last night.  I can't wait to wash it and style it my way.  I also found out my stylist is pregnant.  I really, really hope she doesn't decide to be a SAHM.  She's the best stylist I've had...ever!  I don't want to find someone new.

  • I'm in the same grocery boat.  But it's cold and yucky, and I *hate* taking Ben to the grocery store.  He is almost always obnoxious after 15 minutes in the cart and ends up throwing a giant tantrum. 

    Love that watch!

    Yeah, grocery shopping is 'mom' time for me.  I haven't attempted taking R grocery shopping yet, only shorter Target/mall trips.  I don't want to risk her freaking out with a full cart of groceries.

  • Good morning.  We were at Post Family Farm last night for our financial planner's (who is also our friend) client appreciation party.  It was a lot of fun, but brrrr!  The driver of the hayride tractor was an older man, and really liked our lil' birthday boy last night.  His name was Henry too, and I think they were both delighted with each other.  Cute.

    That is so sweet.  

    But Brrrr is right. I'm not ready for it to be this cold yet.  I want early fall weather - sunshine, mid 60's.

  • Yeah, it seems like it was summer, and then mid fall all of the sudden.  This morning, Willa demanded to know why we were eating breakfast in the middle of the night: so dark out in the morning now.

    Haha Willa is so funny.  I usually tell Ben, "go back to sleep, it's dark out" if he wakes in the night.  This morning we came downstairs and he said, "No go back to sleep.  Sun up soon" LOL

  • Yay for haircuts, hayrides and coffee makers. :-)

    I have been so tired this week - maybe the early darkness is messing with my internal clock.  I've been asleep before 9pm the past couple of nights and usually I can make it to 9:30 or 10:00.

  • Cute hair!

    Have you guys seen this story? http://abcnews.go.com/US/animals-loose-ohio-town-lockdown/story?id=14767017  "An Ohio town is under lockdown as dozens of wild animals including bears, wolves and tigers have escaped from a private preserve are and are on the loose after the owner of the preserve has been found dead."

    Yikes!

    Yikes is right!  I couldn't imagine what it would be like to see an animal like that roaming around.

  • I have a doctors appt for Mia today. I was going to get her flu shot at the same time. When I made my appt her I said I wanted to schedule a nurses appt for Allison to get her flu shot and they said they couldn't make it yet because they didn't know if they would even have the vaccine by then So I kind of forgot to call and I did the other day but I was told I can't get a shot for Allison because there is no flu clinic going on that day. So they can bring one vaccine into the room and do a quick poke or squirt up the nose, but not two.  So I went ahead and made an appt at the Health dept to get it down in a few weeks.  There is no way I'm making a trip back to AH...they are always running behind. I really don't want to be there for an hour for one freakin flu shot. Plus I'm not having Allison watch Mia get a shot and then bring her back in a few weeks. Yes that would go over well. Confused

     

  • I had the same issue w/ Henry's well child and getting Willa a shot.  Boo to them!  I don't know if you're not a fan of the nose mist, but both girls could probably have that instead of the shot.  Willa can't do the mist because of her asthma.  I haven't decided if I want Henry to have the mist or the shot.

    Was this at Alger Peds? C got his shot there weeks ago as part of his regular checkup.

  • Gah, I stink at remembering to take photos.  Does anyone else feel really awkward just taking a photo of themselves alone?  I'll try to overcome the awkwardness and use our webcam at home to snap a shot just for you ladies. :-)

    That animal situation is just plain nuts.  Schools canceled because lions might eat kids at bus stops?  Sounds like a movie.

  • You're right, Juli.  Animals loose in small town Ohio... is either a Nicholas Cage movie, or maybe something set in the future with Jeff Goldbloom to tell the story of how lions became an invasive species in the Midwest. 

    2 questions: what do you call those things that people put under their bed legs to stop it from moving around on hardwood floors, and would one find those in say... Meijer near sheets and stuff?

    A rug?

    LOL... ;)

    What about shelf liner?

  • Rug: no, no!  There are round coasterish kind of things.  Wait... are they called coasters?  We don't want a rug in the bedroom because then our dogs will lie there, and then our room will smell like dog.  No matter how much we clean the rugs and the dogs.

    I thought the coaster things HELPED move furniture.

    That's what I thought too.

     I would go to the dollar store to get shelf liner and cut it to fit under the foot of the bed.

    And my inner teenage boy is thinking "Hehehehehehe! Their bed moves." LOL!
