Morning. Nothing exciting happening today. I got an email last week from one of the mom's of a boy in M's class about getting a few of the boys together for a play date. Everyone replied that it would be great and when they were free. One of the boys (J) will be out of town this weekend. The mom who sent the email is trying to set the play date up for this weekend. I haven't replied yet because I'm a little annoyed that they want to set something up the weekend this kid won't get to go. I'm sure she just forgot and means no harm, but I wonder if J's mom is just as annoyed as I am because she hasn't replied either. Should I email the group reminding them J won't be available, or just leave it up to J's mom? I just don't want the kid to feel left out. How many kids is she trying to get together? It seems impossible sometimes to get everyone together at one time, so maybe this weekend is when the majority can meet? I don't think I'd say anything, but maybe respond that you will also want to plan another playdate when J is available.

tgrimes I have never looked to see if pepper spray is legal or not. Mine hangs off my purse. H also wants me to carry a little tazer thing he got for me, which I don't yet, until I try it more. Guess I should see if it is legal too. Although if it came down to life or death, I'd hedge my bets on my lawyer getting me off for carrying one of them.

No, I think it's illegal here. But I have Pledge & 409. lol.I'm dying laughing. Please get a holster for your cleaning products/self defense chemicals. I'm sure klong11 could find me one. She's the queen of finding all the things.

Oh man xolastunicornxo that sounds traumatic, but glad you were able to be with him. Hugs to the family♥️. I vividly remember the day my dog died when I was 9, I had to stay home from school I was so sad, such heartbreak.

I’m so sorry xolastunicornxo 😞. It’s so hard to lose a pet. Why can’t they live as long as us? MH was OOT when our lab died several years ago. We were expecting it but it still sucked royally. I called my mom at work that morning to tell her about it. She offered to come keep me company since MH was gone. I told her I’d be fine and not to worry about it. But she didn’t listen and she left work with just the clothes on her back and drove 4 hours to my house. She stopped at Walmart on the way to buy some pajamas and underwear. Then showed up at my door with ice cream and a few movies to watch. It definitely helped me take my mind off it for a while.

I'm taking H to the pediatric dentist today since he still doesn't have any teeth. It looks like his top left one may be coming in soon but the pedi told me to get him checked out.
Homeboy hates having anyone look in his mouth so this should go well.

Morning! Er, afternoon. We just finished lunch and I really need to get myself cleaned up, but I keep finding chores to do that are distracting me. I can't quite get anything finished...I'll start on one area, then get sidetracked. I do need to get to the post office to mail some notes, a baby gift, and some stuff to my mom for my sister's shower next weekend. I got her a Lille baby carrier, which is already there, but in nam2013 fashion I feel the need to make a gift basket with goodies

tgrimes whattadick. I'm sorry you started out your morning like that. Being behind a screen or phone make some people too ballsy. lahdeedah, I'd leave it up to J's mom. Depending on how many kids are involved it can be hard to find a time that works for everybody and there can always be other play dates down the road. Nothing exciting for me. Just work. I feel like in addition to work, I got a ton of stuff done around the house this weekend so that feels good. I really want to get more organized and keep clearing crap out of my house. The girls got new sidewalk chalk for Easter so Cass and I made a "welcome home" picture for Maddie at her bus stop yesterday. That was fun.

If so I’d just let it go.

lahdeedah I would just let it go. There is a group text with 4 of the dc moms and every week the same mom invites us all over to their house. Usually only 1 of us can make it. I've never seen it as a big deal when I can't go and they set something up anyway.

sands42 those bedtime/nap time laughs always cracked me up when S was younger. We’d be laying there, I would think she was almost asleep and then out of the blue she’d do something to make me laugh. Then she would laugh, then I laughed harder and then she laughed harder. It was a cycle. But it cracked me up. It was usually a sweet moment.... followed up by frustration because she then would try escaping the bed.

Took the boys to the dentist. Matthew has one soft tooth, so he has to see a specialist. They refer kids out of the office every single time, so that they keep the positive association with where they get their cleanings. Which I think is a genius idea. We got lunch now we're running some errands. Hopefully they car nap and then I have to go to the grocery later.
