My morning started off good. I was in a great mood, but now I'm trying not to seep into a funk. I can't wait for my lunch break. We have teeball tonight, and my friend is coming over after to help out with the boys. She came over Wednesday and I got so much done while she was there, so I'm hoping I can do the same tonight. Anyone watch Grey's last night? I am not looking forward to watching it. I'll probably be crying for most of it based on the preview. I may save it for when I'm home alone. Yes, you probably want to be alone. It’s very emotional. Agreed.

cagoldi I’ve been meaning to ask you- what type of stuff do they do at feeding therapy with X?? I’m wondering about Letty.... So far we've only had the eval. They should be calling me today to set up our first visit. I know csho had to do it with V. She said it took lots of time to see results, IIRC. I wish she was still here so we could ask her specifics. Happy to answer any questions about the evaluation though, if you think it would be helpful.

Parents magazine just posted on FB the top baby names of 2018. Em.ma is #1 for girls so far this year. I need to make sure C doesn't see that because he will be annoyed. It's the main reason he didn't want that name because it's a top name every year. My name is/was top 5-10 for basically ever. It's fine. N is very popular in this area, but haven't met an Emma though. J's class has two Ella, Fiona's and Nora's... This is my thought. I survived the 80s with a very 80s/90s trendy name. I loved Madison so I wasn't going to not use it because it's popular. We definitely run into a lot of other Madisons in the wild but she's never had another Madison in her class. It's not a big deal. When she is an adult and has a broader age range spectrum of peers it'll be less common she runs into others with the same name.

Hi guys. We ran to the grocery store this morning to get more milk and supplies for supper. FIL and MIL are coming over tonight to celebrate Mother’s Day since she’s flying out tomorrow morning to visit SIL’s family. I’m making burgers, brats, pasta salad, corn on the cob and cookie brownies. Both girls are napping and I think I’m going to try to take one too.

M woke me up at 2 am this morning because she was scared. I took her back to her room and she told me in detail about her bad dream. Someone took brother and she was really sad. Poor girl. S woke me up 2 nights ago to tell me he had a bad dream that daddy was watching him and B and he wasn’t looking and B ran into the street and got ‘flat’. His little lip was shaking the whole time he was telling me. So sad Dude had a similar dream last week that X was wandering outside alone and heading towards the street.

sands42 we did some with ds, one focused a lot one tactile issues. She had a massive hammock, balls with strings/point etc., kinetic sand and different types of clay. It didn’t do much. The second one we wanted to try, more play typed therapy. We just had our intake meeting, in which the therapist ended by saying that she needed to provide a safe haven for ds, because he didn’t that at home. I know she probably meant it differently that she said it, but it made me incredibly emotional and I backed out. Hence the reason we’re still dealing with tons of food issues...

Here’s some entertainment. Our IT guys were setting up an office for a temp employee we’re going to have next week. There was no phone in the office so one of them went to grab a spare phone from another hot desk office. After he hooked it up, he noticed the stream of ants coming out of the phone. It appears an entire ant colony was somehow living in the phone! I have so many questions. Why? How? What were they using for food?? 🐜 This is my life right now....kinda. Except replace phone with coffee maker a few weeks ago. I thought I combatted them and won...but last night in my LIVING ROOM they were all over the end table! So I got out the spray and went crazy. Then I called Orkin this morning and they are coming out tomorrow! ETA: I promise my house is clean! I don’t understand!!! 😩 Same. They make me feel like our house is dirty (which it’s not). DH went nuclear on them and I think we’ve finally wiped them out... except there was one on my laptop last night 😳

Re Ants: cinnamon. We had some in the cabinet where we keep Cadence's candy last year. I lined the edges with cinnamon and they never came back. Recently they were coming in our sliding door to get the cat food. I put a trail of cinnamon along the door and they won't come in now.
It's a cheap and easy solution that actually works. And isn't harmful to the cats or kid.

Chilly--Bradley was the only one of us that would go near it. He was in and out for almost 2 hours...crazy kid. It was almost 90 here today, though, so otherwise the beach was fantastic!

Hi sorry other people had Monday style Fridays. Mine was similar. C woke up soaked this morning, work was a hot mess, and now I’m sitting in the preschool parking lot biding my time before switching to Mom mode.
Taking a personal day yesterday ended up not being very helpful and I have an even more drowning feeling today because I’m behind.
It looks like it’s going to rain tomorrow, which means C will miss another TBall game. I may get together with my coworker and her six yo at the children’s museum if it’s rained out though.

jewels , that's adorable. I love it. The McKinli thread reminded me...remember my grandniece named Air.es No.va? Well her mom was heavily considering Nep.tune. NEP.TUNE! WTF. (PDQ) I also know someone with twins named Rem.ing.ton (g) and Mav.rick (b). They are big gun/country people.

TGIF!!! Sorry for all the yucky Friday’s... but at least it’s not Monday? I had Muffins for mom at Lucas’s school this morning. It’s pretty amazing to watch him. At home he does a combo of sign language and oral language, but at school it’s all ASL and he does it so fast! I realized I really need to step up my game and get back into classes. C was really fussy today, which is pretty unlike her, but we got a good hour nap together and that seemed to help. Dh has a work happy hour so I’m Ordering in pizza and letting the kids watch a movie.

I’m currently running allover town w mh, getting all the stuff we need for tmrw’s party. So far we’ve stopped at Sam’s club, Safeway and Home Depot. Liquor store is the last (and most impt) stop. His parents are at our house w the kiddos and his mom is making Mac n cheese for tomorrow while FIL chops up fruit for the sangrias. I plan on having one tonight.

Continuing my live blogging. C drives so slow when we are running behind. I'm not saying he needs to speed but going 1 mile below the speed limit is a little crazy when we have to start over. We were 1/2 way to the school.
