How are all you lovely ladies? wedding how are you feeling? I got up at 4:30 and ran 3 miles because I'm going to lunch with a group from work. I somehow get ready too early and am enjoying a cup of coffee before I head out the door. For those who have stairs in your house, is the carpet on your stairs the same or different, than in the rooms attached to? We are carpet shopping (which is awful) and can't decide on the stairs.

Morning, all. It's been a crazy few days around here. The big one had two statewide competitions and a robotics tournament last week, I'm on kitchen prep all week for a dinner on Friday, and my instant pot died. But we're hanging in there.
B is currently sprawled across my chest snoring. What a life!

No carpet on our stairs, but my in-laws do. They went with something different (dark patterned, and everything else is taupe), and it really turned them into a statement. I love it.

Jack has his ENT appointment today. So I have to take Matthew to the sitters and have Jack with me all day. Hopefully he lets me get some work done and hopefully Matthew doesn't lose it when I leave him there by himself. My father-in-law is picking Matthew up from the sitter just in case we're not back in time.

Morning! Quiet day at home. My mom came over for coffee and my sister came over for lunch. Laundry, cleaning etc to do, but really I just want to take a nap. Dinner with a friend tonight, bring all the Italian things my way!

Carpet is the same on the stairs. We're hopefully redoing ours this summer and we'll get rid of the carpet downstairs and I'm debating about doing it upstairs as well. But I still want carpet on the stairs for safety but I think that would look weird. We might do a runner.
We're still cursing the time change in our house. I feel bad for my cat who sits in front of his auto-feeder everyday and wonders why it isn't dispensing his food yet. Poor furry dude.

For the future, I think I want to carpet the stairs going into the basement (behind a door so you wouldn't see them), and then I think I would do the same carpet in the basement. I'd like to do something patterned, but I wonder if that will look old in a few years.

I wish we had done hardwood stairs also. We carpeted the stairs going up to the bedrooms here because we were afraid Tillie the dog would slip and fall. Then the cats moved in and tore the edges of them up to shreds. Never again on the main stairs. I don't even want a runner in the new house!

My day is not off to a good start. B threw a huge shit fit this AM over bringing magiclip princesses into school. I don’t want to rehash it all or I’ll get all worked up again but LSS, she tantrummed all the way from the car to school, inside the school, continued tantrumming in the lobby while I dropped off C. Then I had to physically carry her to her room. I’m so pissed and worn out.
I’m going to make a cup of coffee.

Question: my coworkers son has cystic fibrosis. He is almost 26 and his condition worsened a lot this last year, so much he’s become eligible for/needs a long transplant. April 10th they have an intake meeting at the centre that has specialised in that specific field. It’s a 2.5 hour drive. I was thinking maybe the other coworkers and me could make a car/care package. Budget is small. For now I was thinking, thermos, sweets, a travel game. Any more ideas what to put in it?

We are good! He started spitting up this morning, so I wonder if they're increasing his feeds too quickly.

Unfortunately for me, it was a Christmas present from the 'rents, and my dad wants to take care of it for me. However, he's out of town until next week. I'm. Dying.

Alarm went off at 6:15. I turned it off rather than hitting snooze and woke up 45 minutes later. Still got to work before the receptionist.
I think it's time for melatonin. I went to bed at 10:15 and was still awake at midnight.

nam2013, maybe make some cds they could listen to with fun songs Good idea. We do this often for my parents. My coworker however is really religious (like don’t allow Harry Potter because magic is evil, don’t live together before marriage, but are really open minded when it comes to other things) and I’m not sure what music would be appropriate.
