We're staying with relatives in Mesa and it's country. They have rifles lying around in the open and the fridge is full of butcher paper wrapped cow and pig that was slaughtered yesterday. Has A noticed the guns?

Back from party number 2. That one was crazy. Mall inflatable world is insane. Kids everywhere and it was impossible to keep track of mine. Once her new bff showed up, his mom was staying wherever he was so I was able to just look for her and now where Cadence was. I got her number since the kids seem so attached to each other. I was so disappointed to find the Disney store in the mall had closed. We tried to go after the party and nope. Sucks. Could they have moved he store. A lot of disney stores are being built in a different spot to update the look and then they close the old store. There is another store close by at the outlets. They may have lost business to that one. Looks like it just closed in January. Yet the mall has a store just for Pokemon crap. Seriously?

This just sounds like food poisoning waiting to happen. Don't eat anything there. Oh, I had to take off. The smell of the hamburgers was too much for me. Grandma got discharged!!! And she desperately wanted a hot fudge sundae so me and my vegetarian sister were more than happy to run and grab her one and get our own dinner.

Has A noticed the guns? It's just me, my mom, and my sisters this time. They don't allow visitors at the hospital that are under 13 and we didn't know she was going to get to go home today.

I don't know how anyone can eat it--not just from an ethical standpoint, but from a gross standpoint. Vom.

1 in 14? Wow, that's a lot higher than I'd expect. I wonder how much the majority of them smoke. Like a pack a day or a cigarette every few months. The article didn't say. The ones who were talking in the comments said that their doctor said it would be less harmful to keep smoking then the stress of trying to stop. What a bunch of horseshit. Sometimes MDs need to be willing to admit what they don't know and aren't the experts of and refer patients for appropriate care. Get a health psychologist in your practice because I realize you don't have time to address things like smoking cessation with 14 minute appointments, but that's what they're for. There are many ways to manage stress that don't involve smoking. It's not like the patient's only choice is to just be riddled with stress or smoke. ETA: Of course this could just be the commenter's excuse and not at all what the doctor said or a loose (mis)interpretation.

I give my kid every possible vaccine available, chicken pox isn’t in the National vaccine program over here... Do you guys have chicken pox "parties" to try to have kids get it young? When I was younger I vaugly remember people trying to infect their kids young. I have seriously never ever heard of something like that. Ds has already had it, dd will most likely get it when she goes to preschool.

One of my friends at work told me she's 11 weeks pregnant! She's been trying for years and had given up and was starting the adoption process. I'm so happy for her.

Good morning! I spent the day yesterday watching my twin nieces and my nephew at a taekwondo tournament. My nieces did great. They got 1st and 3rd place. My nephew did not do so well and had some....issues. He is a perfectionist and doesn’t handle losing well. He doesn’t handle his emotions well and has very poor sportsmanship. My sister has talked about taking him to see a psychiatrist but then follows with “we just don’t have the time “. But after yesterday, I think she’s going to finally make it happen.
I’m about to make pancakes for breakfast and finish packing for my trip tomorrow. I’m sooo looking forward to sleeping past 4:45 this week!

Morning. Still sick and both kids still haven fevers. Took ds to my aunt to see her new baby chicks and I’m exhausted, she lives 5 doors down for heavens sake! Going to my gp in the morning, but fully expecting him to say to go home and ride it out. The weather is lovely, so I’m bummed we can’t get some good use out of it.

nam2013 makes sure you tell your gp how long you have been sick. At least for me if I haven't at least started to get better in over a week the doctor won't tell me to ride it out. Unless I'm pregnant and there is nothing they can do.

Last 3 days LO has gotten up at around 515 and woken me up. I just told him to tell daddy he's up and C was able to get him back in bed. Why won't he listen to me on that.

Morning! Waiting for DH to shower so we can go catch C in the half marathon. Despite actually sleeping last night (and drinking lots of water last night), I woke up with a terrible headache. Hoping it disappears soon.
Anyhow last night we went to a burlesque show, which was DH's idea. So not something I would ever expect from him! It was fun though, I just can't imagine being that confident. Or coordinated, for that matter. LOL.

cagoldi well that is not the Mesa I know. I wish you luck staying there and I hope your grandma really does get discharged. guster will you check out the new house for storm damage? Both agents and the lawyers are without power, and much of the town has closed roads, so it would be challenging to even get up there right now. It's an hour away from here. Also, because it's not legally ours yet, I don't think we could do anything to even check the property.

guster - Hopefully everything is fine. We had lots of downed wires in my ILs neighborhood and lots of trees down in ours, but very little property damage. The power could be awhile though, the outages we're pretty widespread. Except in my town where it seemed like our street was the only one out!

Some downed trees that have closed roads, and taking out power, but it doesn't look like houses have been destroyed. Here in Westchester, there is a lot of damage, though. A few of the area schools are already closed for tomorrow.

Hi all, hope everyone is having a good weekend. Mh was relieved to hear that you all thought the playdate Friday was weird AF too, bc he was not pleased about the situation, and I'm still bitter about it. We are at my mom's and heading to swim shortly and then out to eat for my SM's bday later. Yesterday was 1 year since her fall, which seems like literally yesterday since I can remember it so vividly. We didn't do anything fancy, she wanted to go to Costco and we got takeout and then went out for milkshakes at CFA.

I need some good thoughts/prayers. My water broke. I'm admitted til the baby is born, hoping to make it til 34 weeks (31 now). I'm overwhelmed and anxious. I'm sad I have to be away from the kids so much, they can visit though.

wineallthetime. Oh my gosh! Praying everything is okay. Deep breaths, try and get some rest. The kids will be okay! Keep us updated when you can and let us know if there is anything we can do.

wineallthetime, I know it’s stressful but you’re in the best place you can be. You’ve got tons of family to help with the kids and they’ll be fine. We’ll all be thinking about you and hoping that baby stays put for a few more weeks!
