Windows??
We moved in on Monday but still hadn't removed the shrink wrap from Tracey's dresser because it wasn't yet attached to the wall. This evening we hastily moved it to the other wall before rrr left to go watch basketball. I thought we were just getting it over there and would center it (or what not) later. I got home from knitting group to find that he had attached it right where we left it. I guess I'll have to work some decorative element or another piece of furniture to balance it out because he says it's not moving until she's old enough to not pull it on top of herself!
Not even Tracey would fit through the openings in these windows. The house is actually an old shop from the early 1900s that was converted into a house. Very cool, but has weird shop display windows. I did pick out which one I was going to smash as my escape route if the place caught on fire. But it was not necessary, he rescued me & took me out to a yummy lunch. Then I spent the afternoon wandering around the town square.
Now I have to pack & come back to Houston. I sure do miss my bed & my dog, but I am going to miss DH a lot. And I'm going to miss this place. It's ridiculously expensive, but it's beautiful & there's so much gluten free food, I could die of happiness. Or overeating. Gluten-free pizza coma for one!
Thumbs up on the gluten-free stuff! That must have made your stay so much easier. Is Australia on your list of possible locations? Or did you already learn where you're going?

I have to say, I know that a few people here post there frequently, and I'm glad there's a place you can get good information and support, but the Health & Fitness board should really be called the Running board. At least 2/3 of the posts are about running. I used to like to go there to lurk and get some ideas, but it's not even worth it anymore, because I'm not a runner. Not saying I'll never be a runner, but it's not anything I'm interested in doing at the moment.
My pity party post for today.
After today DH has to work 7 straight nights. His longest set of graveyards is usually 4 nights. This coming the week after Spring Break when we are all trying to get back into our routine isn't going to be fun. And he worked nights this weekend so I've hardly seen him as it is.
I know that lots of ladies here have DH's that they don't see for weeks at a time. They are my heroes.
=( That sucks. I hope it goes by quickly for you!
I know what you mean about other people that have it worse. DH's schedule blows this time of year and I hate it. But at least he comes home (at some point) every night. I feel guilty complaining when other nesties have to go weeks without seeing (or having help with kids etc) from their DH.
I'm about to lose it on DH if he commebnts one more time about my work hours. Does he BLANK out football season where he works 80+ hours from July-Mid Dec??!
Yes, because there was no baby then. (hugs)

I had to read that twice because I was certain that the football coach would know better than to complain about your hours considering the hours he keeps during the season. I could kick him for you.
Holy rude neighbor. So this man walks his dog every morning in our 'hood. I was taking mine out this morning and stopped him to ask if he'd seen anyone strange on our street two nights ago when my car got broken into. His response: Well, that is what happens when you leave them out and unfortunately, we have kids and vandals in the neighborhood.
A$$hole.
wow. there are no words.
Last night after C's bath I let him chase DH across the living room...naked. DH joked and sent him back to me telling me it wouldn't be so funny if he peed on the carpet.
Sure enough, I turned around to find him standing on the tile in the bathroom, facing the hall and peeing on the carpet. I screamed, he jumped, cried and peed more before I could move him on to the tile.
On another note, I get a little annoyed at how people put Women's Hosptal out there to be closely compared to a torture chamber. FYI - people do have good birth experiences there! I just think that the few bad ones are so highly talked about that nobody cares about the good experiences.
That's why I've stopped responding to those threads. I had a good experience there and would recommend it in a heartbeat, but my good story isn't nearly as sensational as the few who vilify it so it's not noticed. I felt like I was fighting a losing battle.
agreed
+1
And the latest isn't even a story of a bad birth. The person who is so horrified is still pregnant. Annoying to no end.
Last week I dropped a random scented wax brick into my Scentsy warmer. I wasn't really thinking about it, but I had two in there that just weren't smelling up the whole house.
All afternoon I kept walking around the kitchen thinking I'd left the oven on or I'd spilled vanilla extract. I couldn't figure out why the muffins I'd baked that afternoon that were closed up in a container made the house smell that good.
Then I remembered I'd put a Sugar Cookie wax brick in the warmer. Makes sense, huh? I'm an idiot.
Dear Supernanny,
That whole, just put them back in bed without talking to them thing? Totally a game to my child. I would like you to shut up now.
We are going on 1.5 hours with her getting up every 30 seconds to 1 minute. Literally.
I actually think she's trying to drop her nap. But sheesh. How do I get her to stay in her room for "quiet play time" (or, holy hell, mommy has a house to pack child, you are stressing me out time).
Ugh me too.
have my hopes up about something even thought i know i shouldn't (vague, i know...and i know that's annoying but i can't say)...but please please let this come through...
I'm totally eating my words. I swear Supernanny heard me.
After fighting her for an hour,I decided to go for the entire "supernanny" routine -- sit in there, don't talk, put back to bed. Move closer to the door each night. 15 minutes. 15. I am an idiot.
I hope this works again tomorrow.
hehehe!
They were the victim in almost every girl related fight in my high school (Aldine HS) but it was always humorous to see them going flying! LOL
I am seriously just worn out. Mentally, physically, emotionally. Hello PMS.
I haven't slept well in several nights and seeing how my body really needs the rest it's totally kicking my butt!
I'm seriously annoyed at M's dad/stepmom. They couldn't afford to pay for her therapy session last week, but could afford for her stepmom to have lap-band surgery (which, I just don't get at all since she was over-weight but not huge... totally different rant tho. lol). It's only 20 bucks so it's not a huge deal for me to pay it, but we had an agreement and they didn't hold up their end. I don't know why this surprises me and I don't know why I'm letting it bother me.
Still have no idea where (or when) we are going. But Perth is on the list of possibilities. As is Singapore, actually.
That sucks.
That sucks a lot.
LOL. Ditto. I am irrationally annoyed by the fact that she doesn't want to birth "laying down" and that's her reason for wanting a new hospital. I mean....seriously!?!?! You are THAT picky about the exact position you're in when you deliver that you'd risk yours and your baby's health by switching doctors and hospitals at the last minute??!? Maybe I am extremely liberal about "birth plans" but that just seems ridic to care THAT much about such a small thing. I get the whole drugs/no drugs.....but your POSITION?
Irrationally annoyed.
