mwhip I used mine for the first time too! I scared j and I though when I changed the valve to release the steam. We did a frozen chicken, rice, and carrot dish. I will admit I almost called my BIL bc I couldn't get it turned on...turns out I had plugged in the water heater instead of the instapot😂. wineallthetime ahh we used to get cottage inn at our sorority. I've never seen it anywhere else though. cagoldi glad you made it out with abc, hope they work quickly!

I got rid of a bag of toys/junk today. I have more to do though. Stuffed animals. I'll never gift someone another stuffed animal after having kids! Or baby blanket (unless it's really amazing or they registered for it). I take stuffed animals directly to work unless my kids seem to take a liking to them...which is never. At work we rig them up with IVs, chest tubes, feeding tubes, surgery incisions, and whatever else a kid may have.

It's definitely a chain around here (I live where you went to college), but wasn't sure if it's just a local thing!

I'm sorry cagoldi. I hope you all get better quickly. I've never been to a chiropractor. I'm not sure if I need to go just yet. I stretched and something popped and it felt a bit better so I think I'm going to continue ice, heat, and rest for a couple of days.

I hate blow drying my hair, guster. I need one of those magical blow dryers I can't afford that cut way down on drying time! I typically wash mine at night and blow dry it a bit so it gets a little volume and isn't super wet, then let it air dry. I style it in the morning.

It will be a mix of frizz, waves, and some odd parts by the morning, but I'll run the straightener through it and call it good. My hair dries very quickly and could probably be done in 10 minutes, but I'm useless at night.

Hi! I’m feeling more out of my funk than I was this morning. An old friend of mine from high school came into town so we met her for lunch and I got to meet her two kids. She’s a doctor now which is crazy to me because I still don’t feel old enough to have my peers being doctors, if that makes sense. I also ordered a diaper bag that came today and I like it so I’m excited about that, and I got my Sephora order from me SS gc (thank you melaniesue!) @wineallthetike your cheesecake pizza sounds better, but I did order the apple pie dessert pizza at lunch today... I guess our babies are craving the same thing?

I'm purging clothing tomorrow. I'll do toys when we move into the house. I plan to do their toy room first so they can play in there while I do other rooms.

cagoldi I hope you are feeling better soon! wineallthetime I love what you guys do with stuffed animals! S has a ton of stuffed animals. Because in addition to all the regular stuffed animals people buy for her...she has also gotten quite a collection from her numerous hospital stays. Between friends and family sending them/buying them for her, and the various visitors that come to the hospital (Santa, Superman, character of the moment, professional sports players from the STL Cardinal’s or Blues or Rams before they moved). They always bring stuffed animals and such. I’ve gotten rid of some and need to purge more. S has been so pitiful today. She hasn’t ate at all, but is drinking some. Then she threw up her medicine tonight. I hope she wakes up feeling better tomorrow.

I just took a shower, and I have to dry my hair, but I don't want to. No one in my house has even showered today. Figured what was the point if I was cleaning. Not sure what H's excuse is. Evie even asked why everyone is still in their jammies. I put on a bra around 2 today. I even cane home from the gym without one. But I figured I had so many layers on it wasn't noticeable

I moved 2 boxes of toys to the basement. 1min later E was playing with the toys. The box sat next to the door for weeks and he didn't touch them. I also convinced mh to let us move the chaise lounge part of our chock to the basement. It has been slightly broken and uncomfortable for years. It just accumulates crap instead of crap being put in its spot. But our living room looks so much bigger and there is more space for playing. Damn this cold weather for making us clean and organize!

I'm already in bed for the night, re-watching a couple episodes from The Crown season 2. I binge watched it so quickly that I need to see the whole thing again.

I did finally take a shower at 8, but just put on a clean pair of PJs, still no bra. But I'm the only person in the house who showered today, so who cares? :-)

I purged some toys before H’s birthday and we don’t really have much that needs purged now except a few kid’s meal toys. My kids haven’t been gifted many stuffed animals and I think that’s because people must know I hate them, lol. We do have 3 different Mickey Mouses (one was mine when I was little), 2 Minnies and 2 olafs (one has a Santa hat).

Oh, I have run into a problem with book storage. I have the bottom 2 shelves of our bookcase full and I don’t have anywhere else to put them. I may have to donate some to the little free library down the street soon.

I may have to donate some to the little free library down the street soon. We had this also, I took out all the ‘holiday’ books from rotation, and now only bring them out at the holiday times. After we dontated some, I have started to rotate our books changing out about 6-8 every month or so.

I’m going to bring out the valentines ones soon though, seems like something is always cycling in and out. We get 2 new books a month from the imagination library, so the problem isn’t going to get better.

I'm up with my little lady and the boys are sleeping. I want to go to Cantoro's (an Italian market with a lot of specialty things) to find a few tasty things to go on our cheese/snack platter we'll snack on later today. I also need to make a Target run for diapers if they have a gift card deal.

Morning. Woke up to the sight of the forest, so nice! The rain stopped for a few hours so we took the kids outside, both of them were wining the whole time, come on!!! As soon as we hit a playground, ds was happy as a clam. It’s my dad’s birthday today. They’re coming over for New Years today, so we got an apple pie, hung up some balloons and banners, hope he likes it. Have a great last day of 2017 ladies!

wineallthetime it is very cute! I will say that it’s on the smaller side if you want to use it as a diaper bag. ETA I got my h a Red Sox diaper bag with a matching changing mat for that same reason btw 😉.

I'm up with the boys. We're taking them and my nephews to a bounce place later to burn some energy. Being trapped inside is hard on all of us. And the bounce place is having a balloon drop for newyears at 2pm. We're not going anywhere for new years. Just hanging out here and plan to be in bed before midnight lol.
