In the ongoing saga which is my home reno...I called the contractor about the hardwood. They rescheduled that for Friday and the carpet for Saturday, but never communicated this to me. I'm so pissed. We were invited to a graduation party Saturday, which we aren't going to now, and H told me he hadn't planned on attending anyway, but our entire Saturday is now shot.
I just made a long list of everything that has happened thus far for my review/complaint. I don't know if it will get me anything, but this has been such a shit show.

mwhip , will yh be back on Saturday? If so, can you still go to the party and he stay home with the contractor? Yes, he will be home tomorrow. The party is for the son of one of his friends, so if anything, I would stay home and let him go. But he said he never planned on going anyway, so it isn't a huge deal. Except just a pain in the ass that we have to give up our weekend day for this. And that they never called me to inform me that they changed the schedule. If I hadn't called, would they never have said anything and then H would have been here Friday waiting for carpet?

You would think they would want to stay in contact with you as much as possible after everything they have put you through already.

Happy birthday vino! Hope you enjoy your day off Safe travels to your eldest ladystrat! Good luck at work mamabear! mwhip This will all be worth it when your house is complete and put back together, but ugh, what a hassle in the meantime. Sounds like good communication (or any communication, really) is not these folks' strong suit.

Morning! C is car-napping in the garage so I rolled the windows down and left the kitchen door open so I can hear her when she wakes up. I just impulsively purchased two vintage twin headboards via Instagram to use down the road in C's big-girl room. (yes, I am crazy). But they are so pretty and feminine, and after pricing stuff via PBK and similar (that still wasn't exactly what I was looking for), these look even better! So my sister is going to pick them up for me on Friday (this dealer is in Charleston). Not much else on the agenda; B has sports today after school so it's a nice long, *quiet* day Today was the teacher appreciation brunch so I put together a watermelon and berry salad with fresh mint. I saw a couple basic fruit trays on the table but this is a bit different so hopefully it'll get eaten.

Thanks everyone!! The day started off normal with an emotional B and a firecracker Julia so, yay! Happy 37th to me. I’m just relaxing this morning before my appointments this afternoon, I’m excited for some pampering 😁
Omg....37. How did I get here!?

Not crazy at all flamingo, i’m already thinking about J’s room for next year, along with no high chair, potty training, and getting the toys out of the living room. It’ll be like a whole new house!

Omg, I can't wait to ditch the high chair. We put it away for the dinner party a couple weeks back and it was SO nice. I've been trying to remember when we moved B to the booster. When it's just the kids I let them eat at their little table/chair set, so maybe it's time to test C in a booster and see how she does?

We have one for B that came with an insert, I might try her in that tonight and recoup approximately 25 SF in my kitchen (only a slight exaggeration )

Well, it's done. Just got the check from the buyers and they have all the paperwork. My Dad's house is theirs now. I don't know how I feel about it just yet.

klong11 I'm sure it is bittersweet, so many hugs to you today. This is a sad chapter of you life, you don't have the worry of taking care of things anymore, but it's also the good bye to that part of your dads life. Just because he is gone, does not mean that his memories will not live forever in you and C. I hope the rest of your day is calm and peaceful.

flamingo, I think we will have to move B out of the crib long before we moved S. He never tried to climb out and we moved him at 3 b/c he just seemed so big for it. He would probably still sleep in a crib if we let him... B, on the other hand, already tries to step on his animals to get higher and he leans over the edge. He's much more adventurous than S was at that age.

Morning! Just finishing breakfast then daycare and work. I have a girls night planned tonight which I much needed! Anyone else have/had a biter at daycare? H bit his friends 2 day in a row at daycare and i don’t know how to handle it. I keep talking to him about it and he says “okay” but obviously doesn’t get it. One bite was unprompted and the other was when a friend took something from him. He has never bitten at home. Any tips? Atticus was almost expelled from the infant room for biting. We read Teeth are not for Biting about five times a day and also bought a copy for them to read at school.

Could some of the funk you have been feeling be related to this? I imagine it would be a really difficult transition, even if you are relieved to be rid of the responsibility. I know when big emotional events are happening in my life, it leaks out all kinds of sideways sometimes. Hugs Lady.

Thanks for the offer, mwhip! But i just primed it along with a potty chair, because why not try to do it all at once? Haha
