I got a phone call at work from a cosmetics company. I work in telecommunications, so no cosmetics company should be calling. I wasn't going to answer, because I hate cold calls, but thought I'd better. They were calling to verify the order I submitted, I said I hadn't submitted an order with them and they said that's what they wanted to confirm since the bill to was my name, company address and company credit card number, but shipping somewhere else. I asked how much the charge was for...$946.50. I went to the lady who monitors our credit cards, someone has used my company credit card to purchase over $13k in cosmetics today. Holy shit! OMG that's insane.

Just popping in to say 'hi'; we had friends over this morning and my H brought us all lunch on his way home from work (there's only so much can do when your office is basically frozen over!)
Things are starting to thaw--hooray!--although DH thinks the roads are still such a mess that school probably won't start back til Thursday or Friday at best. :sob: Pray for me. I am about to venture out for groceries and more wine.

As her therapist said, potty training and eating are two things THEY control completely. We're not pushing very hard because of that, but I do think I'm going to start putting her on the potty at least once a day whether she does anything or not. We've got to get this freaking out under control. Yea, Matthew screams and says he's scared. But can't tell us what or why it scares him. I know this can be a hotly contested topic, but if you or ladystrat are interested, I would be happy to share the potty training tips from the parenting book I recently read. This psychologist is definitely no-nonsense, which I know some people don't like, but his method is what finally got B using the toilet for #2 way back when.

Who needs that much in cosmetics??? I should have asked more questions of the company that called me, like the ship to. But I just wanted to get my card turned off ASAP. The company that called me wasn't horribly priced, so someone just filled up their shopping card with everything. I just don't understand what you do with it, if it gets shipped to you? Does it get sold on ebay? I would make a shitty criminal!

Whenever I post something and then the board goes silent I always go back to make sure I didn't post something offensive. Been there.

Thanks klong11! I will definitely check out his flexibility tonight. Unfortunately he doesn't take direction well enough to play walking games. And by that I mean he enjoys not listening to us. He's such a little devil. And so lucky to be so damn cute that I can't even be annoyed by it.

I'm waiting for my therapy appointment, I'm seeing a new psychiatrist so hoping she may have some good thoughts on medication for me even if it's for after the baby is here.
L napped before I left and woke up juuuust as I was leaving. I was able to get so much laundry and such done. Woo!

I use my company card to purchase a lot of things online for work (legit charges), so yes, this is the 3rd time I think, in 2 years, it has happened. The first time was for cosmetics as well, although they didn't get as much as this time. Hopefully since all the charges were this morning, the companies will be alerted and nothing will ship.

I just did the stupidest thing ever. I booked plain tickets before asking permission for a day off. I talked about it with my boss/colleagues but never named concrete dates! Thank god for WhatsApp, quickly arranged someone to cover my shift, asked for permission after and received a ‘yes’ straight away. Pfew!

I have traveled a lot, but the last few years it has slowed down a lot (I wonder why 😉) this will be our first trip just the two of us in 2.5 years! ETA but I realise I’m very fortunate with 6+ weeks vacation per year.

Who needs that much in cosmetics??? Younique distributors? (Joking for those of you who read the MLM thread on GD.) I have someone who's pedaling Younique hard now on my FB. I need to block it but it's hard to look away from the train wreck.

I'm pretty sure it's her photography angle, but I like the befores much better.

Hi all.
Just finished my fetal echo and everything looked great! She is much smaller than my guys, smack in the middle at 52nd percentile.
I think she looked like Atticus. Now we're having lunch at my favorite restaurant.

Matthew just has a virus but still has a fever so we have to wait it out. Jack's fever was just a bad reading because he's fine. We're going to keep them home tomorrow though just to be safe.

Yay for a good echo cagoldi!!! tgrimes, I don't think the blue barrel mystery was ever solved. I was in that thread deep then it had such a disappointing non-ending. The entire time it reminded me of The 'Burbs. But it was totally bodies...
