Got a text from mh saying Cadence tripped on the way into school, ripped both knees of her brand new tights (she was dressed for dance class) and scraped up her knees. They were bleeding, but the teacher cleaned her up. What a way for her to start her day.

Clearly I was catching up and responding without reading ahead. Good morning! It’s very lightly snowing right now, not sure when the blizzard is supposed to start. We are hanging at home today. I have 2 girls rooms to decorate and the longer it takes for the basement to be finished the more I keep changing my mind on things. When we painted H’s room I asked her what color she wanted, she picked purple, and I chose the actual shade to paint on the wall. No thanks to neon or bright walls. I keep going back and forth between wanting a chandelier or something simple and white or mint green bedding (or grey). For S’s room I think I’m going with a color scheme to match the quilt she got from MIL. The walls are a light white grey which will stay. This is the quilt: My main focus right now has been on my living room and bedroom though because they are things I can do now. I need to get a few more throw pillows for my bed and the bedding portion will be done in there. My new rug for the dining room is coming today and I’m very excited to see it on the floor.

Last thing- I left my flat iron in my SIL’s car (she drove us to the airport in MIA). She said she’d ship it back to me and still hasn’t. I’m dying here. I think I’m just going to buy a shitty cheap one at Walmart tonight. My hair is a wreck. Can you just curl it until the flat iron comes back? I’ve tried that yday and today and I don’t like it. My cut is too short for it.

Morning.
My mom stayed in AZ to help my grandma, so my sister is coming over all week to help me get the kids out the door.
I have an OB appointment.
Sinny is at the doctor getting his teeth done. Poor guy had to be fasted after midnight and he was starving this morning.

That's a bad morning tgrimes . My H doesn't help with morning routine either, he gets himself ready and out the door, so I get that frustration, although I don't know how you get 2 littles ready by yourself! I hope a glass of wine is on the agenda for when you get home tonight! Sunny41 I hate when I leave my phone somewhere! I always feel like I'm going to miss something super important, although I'm not that important anyway and people can call me on my work number or email me. But I get it! Could be wine. Could be a greyhound. Could be a martini. Really it just depends on how the rest of the day goes.

yummeecookee if you can't find the NuMe, I use a Remington in a pinch and it's really quite good. Don't love it as much as my CHI but it does a good job for a drugstore brand.

Oh, yes. I'm going to give her three choices all in the very same pink family. Last week she was telling me she wanted a sort of a calypso looking pink and a bright lemonade-y yellow. Her idea was to do it in the stripes on the ceiling, and like a crazy person I was actually considering it. Cher had a striped ceiling in C1’s room(if I remember correctly). I think it looked really cool, but I would definitely hire painters for that project. Oh, I don't paint. Sometimes I think, this is easy. I can do this, and I'll buy everything and then realize I don't know how or what to do. I tried to paint the kitchen this past fall thinking it was an easy project. Barely made it one wall in before I had my painter on the phone begging him to come and fix my disaster. He already knows he has to paint the basement and Josie's room for the new house.

I’m looking at pink and yellow bedrooms on Pinterest right now and it’s such a cute combo. I want you to do it and report back.

trtlcrzy, she likes it because it reminds her of lemons and pink grapefruits. She just got a new comforter in the fall, and it has pink and purple, a little mint green and a darker coral in it. I might ask her to play with those colors so we can keep the bedding for now. But if we decide to extend her bed to the king sized we'll need new bedding and then I'll do pink and yellow, for sure.

Morning, all. Not much to report here. Another busy day on the schedule. I lost three pounds in a week, so I was very pleased with that. I've been working out like a maniac, and I really watched my diet. This week hasn't been as good for what I've eaten, but I'm going to turn that around. One of my closest friends just found out she's pregnant, and since I'm the only person besides her husband who knows, I've gotten all the pictures, all the comments, etc. I haven't been handling it very well. Good job on the weight loss! So satisfying. I’m sorry about things with your friend. Does she know about your loss? She does, and she's been a wonderful friend throughout. I think it's several things. Lots of pregnancies in my news feed, AF showed up this weekend, and most especially, we joked about her getting pregnant and having babies together. They've been going with pull 'n' pray for BC, so this was no surprise.

Reading went well but the dentist was an actual shit show. C was asleep when we arrived but woke up as soon as we got to the waiting room. He was all smiles for the old dentist and new one but as soon as I got in the chair he cried. I got my cleaning with him laying on me. When they needed to do X-rays, new dentist asked to hold him. As soon as she gave him back, he had a massive blowout on my lap. Luckily we were done and I hurried home to change us both.

I decided to start potty training S impromptu. So far she’s doing well but we just started. Of course I have 2 huge boxes of diapers in their closet right now.

I think C may have strep. Dh is taking him to the Dr today. He had no fever but complaining his mouth hurts. I want a refund for his tonsillectomy if it is! (I know you can get it without but I thought we’d have some sort of reprieve).

Morning Ladies! Last night My 5 y/o came in to sleep with us because he had a bad dream about an alligator loose in our house that caught him and ate him. We had a discussion at 3 am about how I would not let that happen and I would catch it and call the zoo to come get it, to get him to finally fall back to sleep. He is still asleep with H, but Evie just came downstairs and told me she had a dream about an alligator that ate her all up! They sleep in separate rooms and she has not spoken to DS yet, so what is going on with the alligator terror around here? LOL. MH fell asleep in M's bed Sunday night and he said M woke up at 3am insisting that there were ants in his bed and they needed to get out of bed and go sit in the rocking chair so the ants wouldn't bite him. MH obliged and he fell asleep in the rocking chair and eventually put him back in the bed. Then last night before bed, M told MH he didn't want to read the book about ants in the bed. We don't have a book about ants in the bed. Weird.

Maybe that's the trick and she'll do great since you're stockpiled on diapers I mean, I feel like that’s the case. I had a whole box when I trained H. I really didn’t plan on doing this today (and honestly I didn’t plan to for a few months) but here we are!

I think I might give it a try this fall once I have B in school 5 mornings/week.

trtlcrzy I love that quilt! Pretty colors. I'm the worst at decorating the girls' rooms. They're painted and there's some cute pictures on the wall--done. Probably won't change for years. It's inviting, but simple. I used to love rearranging my room when I was younger but now with needing to affix all the furniture to the walls for safety it leaves limited options. Plus they trash their rooms so much I'm just happy if there aren't 87 stuffed animals on the bed and clothes all over the floor. tgrimes I hate days that start out like that. Sounds like you need to turn on really bright lights on in the room as soon as it's time to get up and be loud so YH can't enjoy his slumber. Been thinking about you a lot wineallthetime. Sounds like you're handling things as well as one could given the circumstances. Yesterday Cass through a major shit fit when it was time to finish swimming. It was epic and a nightmare to try to physically force a 45 lber to shower and get dressed all while naked myself. Good times. She's banned from swimming for a week. I let her know when Maddie used to be an ass about leaving fun places I just quit taking her and I'll do the same with her if she starts that crap.

Hi! I’m home with n today since she has pink eye. I worked a little bit and now I’m trying to get stuff done for our fundraising event this weekend.
N wanted raspberries so i washed them and set them on the counter for her. A few minutes later she asked if I wanted any. There were 5 left... from the new carton. Lol

I'm sorry ladystrat. That's a hard place to be in. tgrimes Not today Satan. Hope your day improves. yummeecookee I second the remington. I bought the frizz therapy one years ago, about $30 and it still going strong. I've been thinking about replacing with a babybliss, but I'll hold off for now. klong11 Poor C. I'm sure she bounced back quick.
