Hi Ladies! Busy weekend, so I need to catch up. I got a ton of baby clothes at the clothing sale yesterday, and went out for Thai afterward with my friend. It was good for the soul.
DH got his bonus Friday and is out shopping for a water softener. Exciting stuff. He just texted me that he is going to his 4th hardware store in one day to get the exact one he wants. Must be the holy grail of water softeners or something.

Present help. My nephew is turning 9. His life revolves around sports but he has everything! What do I get him? He loves hockey, football and baseball. Any ideas? Maybe a sports bag or a gift card to get new equipment this spring. Or a team jersey

snoopmommymom tallb wedding we got onyx and it did nothing but inthekitty swears by it. We had an issue with chewing on clothes and everything else and got these chew bracelets. He fidget with them and wears then pretty well. It worked for that chewing and he is more of a nail picker now.

LO is being a jerk today. I hoping the nap will calm him down. Or today will be a long day.

I got to the airport wayyyy early because I’m always paranoid about missing a flight. Even though I never have. So now I’ve been sitting here bored out of my mind forever. I’m currently downloading a movie and hoping it finishes before boarding so I have something to watch on the flight. If you read I bought Woman in the Window at the airport and finished over half while waiting because it was so good. Made the wait more enjoyable. My mom is reading this now and said she'd pass it to me when she's finished. Glad to hear it's so good!

We took the kids to see a wrinkle in time. It was ok. It was beautifully done, but it felt like they spent more time on the imagery than the story. There were parts that were scarier, just an fyi to anyone taking their LO’s.

joelies Yikes, sorry to hear about your FIL, prayers he will be ok. Sounds like they caught it quickly so hopefully that works in his favor. wineallthetime What a precious little guy. Love that hair...like duckling fuzz. I hope you can go home soon, glad the NICU set-up is comfy and will give y'all some privacy and space.

Today started chaotic and I can’t destress myself. B fell down the stairs. I thought him falling off the changing table a few weeks ago was bad, but this was the worst sound I’ve ever heard.
He’s ok. S and I cried more than he did. Mh saw it and said he rolled and didn’t really bang anything. He cried for a few minutes and was fine. Me, on the other hand, have felt like like I can’t relax ever since.
Now my mh is our getting our taxes done and just texted me - we owe more than I made last year. I mean, we knew it would be a lot bc he started his business last year and had a great year, but damn, this sucks!

Hi!
We had a 1st birthday party to attend at 11:30; it was fun, kids had a good time and the lunch was good. The poor birthday boy was not delighted by the smash cake and started yelling his head off, lol.
Afterwards we stopped at Ethan Allen for some end-table shopping. From my days working in a similar environment, I'm sure they saw the 4 of us coming in and were like, "Brace for impact!!!" Thankfully they have rolled out a Disney/Mickey-inspired collection so the kids were entertained in that area. IDK why you would want really expensive Mickey themed furniture but TETO, I guess. :shruggy guy: I found an option for the family room so I'm going to take a couple days to mull it over and hopefully get something ordered soon. I'm hosting a dinner party next month for the wardroom spouses of DH's command so I want the house looking good!
My kids are currently wearing bike helmets--indoors--while DH naps. I think we're going to do take-out wings and a movie tonight.

Oh, totally random, my friend had brain surgery to remove a large tumor this week (non cancerous thank goodness). She is home now and I am going to visit her tomorrow. She requested headbands (large scar and they had to shave a lot of her head) but what else can I bring? She said she’s not really up for reading yet so my go to (trashy magazines) won’t work. She’s staying at her parents while she recovers (she’s a single mom) so I don’t really want to bring food since they are taking care of all that
Thoughts?

Maybe you need a glass of wine to settle your nerves! That's crazy about the taxes. Yeesh. Does he estimate/pay quarterly or all at once? I feel like I remember something about that from my payroll sales days but I could be misremembering, and I'm sure it varies depending on how the business is structured.

Maybe you need a glass of wine to settle your nerves! That's crazy about the taxes. Yeesh. Thanks! Yes he did pay quarterly- but being the 1st year entirely on his own, he just grossly underestimated how much to pay. He also had 1 project where he grossed more than the entire rest of the year, and he estimated based on a standard year, so... oops! Now I feel like we will adjust for this year, but there is no way he will gross as much in 2018 as he did in 2017, and we’ll wind up overpaying!

O. M. G. Is this a thing?
From my local mom's group: "Any of my mommy friends make their own breast milk jewelry without ordering a kit? I am 3 months away from expecting my second and never used my saved milk from Olivia to do it 😂. I found a lot of mixtures and instructions online on boiling then grinding it into a powder but for a resin to make the jewelry I have no clue."

snoopmommymom I'm not caught up but Onyz is the nail stuff I've got. It's safe but nasty and it's worked well. We applied it daily for about a week or two and haven't had to use it since.

I hope B is okay, jewels. It's so scary to hear them fall. Maybe you could bring you friend a candle, some hand lotion? A nice throw?
