Re: Say say say- Anything
Good luck nvp. I don't think R will mind her mommy being home more or a little sibling :-)
I think it sounds like the stars are aligning for you in a way that is making life decisions a no brainer! Good Luck and enjoy being a SAHM if you decide not to look for something new!
Thanks! I was just thinking to tell DH that it would be a good time to start trying for another kiddo if I stay home. Of course he'll say well now that we're on one income again we can't afford another child blah blah blah....
Maybe I'll give him some time to adjust to the new job before I bring that up again!! 
Thanks! I'm just such a type A planner so this has all thrown me for a loop!
My sweet girl woke me up this morning asking for ice chips. I told her you only need those when you're sick, are you sick? no, she said and I told her to climb in bed with me.
then she got sick everywhere.
poor kid totally freaks out when she has to throw up. It's been multiple times today. Knock on wood she's done with it and can just rest now.
They are so handsome. Look out ladies.
It is WAY cute! I love it!
holy smokes, they are so stinking adorable. its like they get cuter and cuter and I didnt think that was possible!
ditto!!
Love the pic & adore those shirts! If that onesie goes missing don't look at me.
Were you trying on your phone? i have found that I haven't been able to remove posts on my phone, but if I get on the computer "version", I can delete my wall posts - there should be a little "x" somewhere to delete.
Agree. And Gabriel doesn't even look like the same kid anymore.
Nope. At my desktop computer. The little "x" was there for every other post, but not that one. Weird. Oh well, all people will see is that I did a lot of bad stuff as a kid. I am shocked that I am not dead, and it terrifies me as a parent.
Thankfully, there is one that can not be seen as it was in PMs, but there one person who recently sent me a friend request that I couldn't place. It was clear that our connection was the old 'hood, but I couldn't place him. We did figure it out, but only from a light bulb going off in my head and me asking "oh yeah-were you in the group who got arrested at the mall"? Yep-sure was.
Disclaimer-I was at the mall with a group, one guy stole a bunch of stuff and even though on the security video it showed that while he was stealing stuff the rest of us were clueless (waiting around picking our noses saying to each other "where is Jack") they arrested the whole group. Paddy wagon, mug shot, fingerprints, holding cell, the works. We had to go to court and when the judge realized that 4/5 of us didn't do anything AND there was video evidence that we were not aware of what the 1 person was doing, he dismissed the case and was pissed at the officer for wasting the court's time and making us miss school for nothing.
happy dance for harmony and for jax! :-)
I love happy news.
Those of you who WAH...what time do you get up in the morning?
I'm off right now, but so far the one day I slept until Cooper woke up we rolled out of bed at 8. I felt SO guilty. Since then I've set an alarm for 7...and I still feel guilty. Once I go back I'll need to get up and get him to school, but it isn't like I have to really dress up or anything.
Which brings me to something else - I've felt very sloppy this week dropping off/picking up C in my gym clothes and no makeup. I've spent the days cleaning up the house and going through loads of crap, so there is no need for makeup...but still. Tell me one day the guilt will go away.
Now that E is in day care I am waking up about 7:15, getting dressed, hair in ponytail and covering up any apparent zits and then getting E up. I then get her up, dressed and we are out the door by about 7:40. I look like absolute crap.
I want to get up earlier, drop her off about 7, go to the gym and then go home, but that hasn't materialized just yet...
let go of the guilt sister! :-) we have way too much to feel guilty about these days! You work hard when you're awake and you are about to start a job at home where you will not only be working but I guaranty you... you will also be working ON the home at the same time. SOOOOO you have earned an extra half an hour of sleep in the morning!
BE FREE WOMAN!
In Denmark, maybe. We went to the one in SD and wouldn't have if it wasn't free with the city pass. It was expensive and didn't have much for people over the age of about 10 to do.
I loved Legoland. We went several times to the one in Denmark, when we lived in Norway. I'm thinking about trying to go to the one in California while we are in Anaheim. I still have my maps somewhere.
I only get up at 6:15 because I have to get DD up and ready for school. When I was in my 1st trimester and so tired all of the time I got her up and off to school and then went back to bed until about 8:30.
No guilt at all! With the little guy I can't do that anymore, but I think I'd still get up at least an hour before he wakes up which is between 7:30 and 8. No because of the guilt, but because I like having that time to eat breakfast, drink coffee, etc.
Getting dressed is another story. Yes, I'm out of my pajamas, but I'm in t-shirts and shorts all day, every day.

Ditto on the getting dressed. Some days I get dressed to feel a little more awake and ready for the day but I dont put on makeup or fix my hair.
I've pretty much always just gotten up when C gets up. I have grand plans to get up before him and go walking and when (a)its cooler and (b) i'm not a tired pregnant person, maybe I'll follow through but i dont feel guilty about it I work my but off from the time C wakes up until I get in bed at night.
