We have the same carpet on our stairs as our 2nd floor. I love the look of hardwood stairs and more of a statement runner though. I'm terrified of non carpeted stairs so I'd always have something on them!

Morning. S’s EI assessment is later this morning. It’s supposed to get up to 51 today so after nap we are going to the zoo. I put both girls to bed at 7:30 last night and neither was asleep before 10. I am not impressed with these bedtime shenanigans. Happy birthday Charlie guster! I hope his day is wonderful!

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. Yeah, I'd definitely try it. I'm sorry you're still not sleeping well.

mwhip I already answered on your fb post but we put the same carpet we have upstairs down our stairs. We will have different carpet in the basement, although I’d like to just recarpet the whole house.

M woke me up 3 times last night. She said she was scared. MH told me I shouldn't give in but I remember what it's like to be scared in the MOTN and I don't want her to feel like she can't come get me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We are trying to decide if we do just the upstairs and stairs this year and the downstairs later, fingers crossed the same carpet, or something very close is available.

Why haven't I used my IP in at least a month? What do I need to make mwhip ladystrat ? Do you pinterest? If you do, stalk me, I have an IP page full of ideas. I think I use mine at least 3 times a week. I made a roast in it this weekend that was easily the best roast I've ever had. I hard boil eggs in it on the weekend for H to grab a quick breakfast. IP crack chicken is probably my H's new favorite meal, although not the healthiest (I use low fat cream cheese, but still). I made a pasta dish in it last week that turned out better than I expected.

Coworker J wanted to start at 5 this morning. I just parked next to him so I don't think he made it in on time. He's going to be grumpy.

nam2013 , I find it an odd relief to know that the religious crazies are over there too and not just in the states. I will never not side eye Harry Potter = evil magic. If you don't HP because you think it sucks or something go for it, but because magic spells... Madison saw a little of the first movie the other day. I always thought the HP series was good but overhyped, but still good enough that I didn't want the surprises to be ruined for her. I want her to wait until she reads the books before watching the movies.

I’m feeling a bit better today. Much less dizzy and I can sit more comfortably. Dh is at work and C is at school. I think Dh started to feel guilt after I cried over the modem and when I got downstairs today he left coffee and breakfast for me. So that was nice.
My parents are picking C up from school tonight and bringing him home just before bedtime when Dh gets home. My mom is bringing me lunch today also and the cleaning lady comes today which will make me feel more zen. So things are looking up a bit. I also slept well which makes all the difference.

yummeecookee I hate days like that. It takes me a long time to get over my anger when C is such a hell beast. Definitely get your nails done at lunch and try to turn the mood around. Hopefully she will have shaped up by the time you pick her up.

Happy birthday sweet C!! gusterI’m trying to hop on early today because this whole four kids thing and spring break is really cutting into my internet-ing time! Lucas has a dr app today, and everyone has to tag along. I really hope they behave, especially after waking up to an epic fight between the brothers this morning over a blanket. 🙄 mwhip we have the same carpet on our stairs that goes into the loft and then the kids bedrooms. The master and the whole downstairs is the wood plank tile. I don’t love carpet and would have loved to do the tile throughout, but tile and stairs with kids and a pool (eventually) seemed like an ER trip waiting to happen.

Drop off went surprisingly well. Then J and I went and registered M for preschool. J didn't want to leave lol. Now he's playing with markers and stickers while I get a little work done. Going to feed him an early lunch so he naps on the way to the ENT.

Morning! Our power went out at 6:30 am. The whole town was out for about 45 minutes. We never lose power so it was interesting. N woke up and she was messing with her nightlights trying to figure out why they weren’t working. Haha. Surprisingly, I still managed to be on time for work.

Does anyone use blue light filtering glasses? I’m thinking about getting some. I had lasik 5 years ago and thought my eyes were going bad, but they’re only bad in the evenings so it’s clearly not a permanent vision issue. Maybe it’s just eye fatigue.
@klongoria, I’m reading that these glasses help you sleep better at night if you use a computer a lot during the day. Maybe worth a shot?

I just got an edible arrangement from the Probation office which is so sweet. Especially since only a handful know of my issue and most just know I was going to be out. I’m likely overly emotional but it was so hard feeling like part of the group in that office so this really makes me feel extra good.
My boss also texted me that since they were closed for snow yesterday I don’t have to use leave which is awesome.

We just finished up with the EI screening. Her scores improved a bit from the fall but she’s still behind. I requested a full Speech eval so that’s scheduled for mid-April.

Oh geez, don't tell me this! I check the warranty on the samples we look at, obviously I want the longest warranty, but don't want to pay the price! I'm hoping to get at least 10 years out of it, although H told me he doesn't want to be in this house for 10 years, so I don't know why I'm so worried.

mwhip, we've been looking at carpet too for finishing our basement. I don't know what to do either! I don't want the most expensive but I don't want it to be crappy either. I know we'll upgrade the pad since it'll be on cement floor, but it's so hard to tell the quality from tiny little samples.
