Morning! I’m feeling better today but still not 💯%. I’m hoping to get my butt moving today to get some housework done.
I have a friend coming by to pick up some toys I’m passing on to her. She’s got 3 grandkids a bit younger than S and 3 more arriving in the next month or so. One set of twins. So I pass most stuff on to her and she keeps some stuff at her house and passes the rest on to her kids for the grandkids.

Sunny41 there’s a lot of damages, broken train tracks, fallen trees etc. Our big bike was flipped over by the wind (that thing weighs like 200lbs 😳) and the rear wheel is broken and it’s going to cost about €100.- to fix, which sucks. Other than that I’m just glad we all got to and from school/work in one piece, thanks for asking! Wow! That's crazy!

guster did your realtor make it to the house yesterday for pictures? No, she canceled because of the ice. She's coming next Tuesday at noon. Then will have an open house the following weekend. Yikes!

lfig, yes, thankfully she lives only five minutes away, so I was able to see her last night in the hospital, and I keep sending her videos of the kids. The swelling has gone down some, so her daughter told me they hope to be home by the start of the week, so she's a little more comfortable. They're looking at a different cancer treatment facility for the next few months in the hopes that it gives her enough strength to get through the summer.

While we were away my mom came by to feed and pill Maxi. My dad did random projects throughout my house including fixing closet door that were loose, removing the hardware for the stairway baby gate, and he organized my garage! I really need to do something to thank them but haven't figured it what yet.
Also before Dh came downstairs he folded two loads of laundry. So unexpected!
I'm back in bed lounging before a nice nap.

You look great yummeecookee! Will it still curl with product/styling? I love your curls too. Yes, as soon as I wash it, it’ll be curly again. That is the look I am trying to avoid though! 🙃 I’m rekindling my relationship with my flat iron.

That is the look I am trying to avoid though! 🙃 I’m rekindling my relationship with my flat iron. Have you ever done a blow dry with a round brush? I never really tried before but now with my shorter hair it’s super easy. I have a huge brush, it’s probably 2in, so that it straightens with a slight bend at the end. I watched this, along with a few other videos to get the technique.

Argh, DH's earlier flight was cancelled and he can't get back onto his original flight. He's on standby but may not make it home until tomorrow now. BOO.

I've gotten a lot accomished this morning and I'm early to Theo's 2 yr. appt., so I've got a few minutes to kill. Evie came into our room early and announced she threw up, so I got an early start on the day. My normally very hands-on H was being less than helpful, and driving me crazy with things that he very well could have handled on his own. So, we had a brief discussion about "handing me problems, rather than offering solutions". We have couples counseling tonight for some routine maintenance, and I think the timing is right on 😉

Has anyone tried the dockAtot? Is it worth the money? Cher? kim22? I’m way late but I was just reading a discussion on this on FB. A friend of mine from college is a pediatric ER doc; she said they’ve seen several SIDS and near-SIDS incidents due to this product just at her hospital alone. Her comment was that was bc it’s so new, there’s just not a lot of feedback yet about possible ramifications/problems. So I guess moral of the story, if you use, use responsibly. FWIW, A mom in our N16 group has one and I think has liked it but with that said, has had a heck of a time transitioning her baby to the crib and getting her to sleep independently. Not sure if they are related or not.

guster, I hope your aunt can get home and be able to make it to her grandchild's wedding! mwhip and others, I would love an accountability/bet type thing. I was doing great and had lost 14 pounds before my vacation in early December. On vacation, I fell off the wagon hard, and haven't been able to get back on track. I weighed myself this morning and have already gained back about 6 pounds. So I drowned my sorrows in a large coffee and donut at the drive through this morning. I definitely need motivation.

I would be in for an accountability type group. I'm really good for a week and a half and then I fall apart for four or five days, and then I'm back on track again for another week and a half. It's a frustrating cycle to be in. I lose and gain the same ~5 pounds.

Love the haircut yummeecookee! Currently I’m bummed because we found a house we loooove (it’s over our budget) but MH worksite will be shutdown in April so he might be out of work for a bit. I can work during that time but I make nothing compared to him and I’d be scared about the house payment... 🙄

Morning!
We have some snow here but nothing too crazy; all the bases were on a 3-hour delay but DH’s boss just said to skip coming in, so my H is home with us. I think we’re going to do some errands and get lunch out (Pita Pit?!)
He and B are out playing in the snow now; it is still new and fun to this FL kid. Our dog is not as amused...apparently she’s forgotten the winter we spent in KS!
