Y'all, Hamilton was fucking amazing. The set, the revolving stage, the choreography and of course the music was so creative, simple and powerful. MH like it so much that he downloaded the album during intermission. It's seriously the best thing I've seen in a really long time. Super jealous of you right now. I re-watched the performance they did at the White House. Try and enter the lottery and see if you can see it again for $20. That'd be awesome. I feel like its one of those shows you have to see multiple times because there's so much going on that I missed a lot.

Waiting at the dentist. Judging by the other parents angry faces, we're going to be here a while.

Morning ladies! lfig Yeah, I agree, getting any kid this age to eat exactly what you put in front of them, is impossible. Poor S, I had high hopes this would really help you guys! dapostrophe we have plenty of baseboards and trim that need painting, if you need something to help get baby out when it gets close to that time! I'm not pregnant and I don't want to paint them, I'm impressed at your ability to get it done! peachsmama I'm glad they were able to get M in quick for one tooth, too bad they can't just do them both today. nam2013 the place you described sounds awesome! Glad you had a good day! tgrimes how was Hamilton last night? What is M's deal with these damn games and dropping his family to watch them? Can't he watch them at home? Does anyone still use a monitor for their N13 regularly? We still use one although we rarely need it. Just wondering if we are the only one...I'd still keep it for when I put her to bed and we go outside, to hear if she wakes. I have no idea what his deal is. I get that it's fun to go out with your friends and watch the games at a bar, but between march madness, the astros & the rockets, it's happening regularly. We did talk about what happened this weekend on the way to the theater (of course I had to be the one to bring it up). He never apologized but he definitely knows he was in the wrong. At least we're speaking again. Of course it's fun! But we are parents, (somewhat) responsible adults, who have to take care of our families. I have spent a LOT of time in a bar, to the point they started pouring my beer as I walked in the door, but I realize that isn't going to happen now, because I have a child. He needs to get his priorities straight. I'm glad you're speaking again and that he knows he was in the wrong, but he needs to be as much a part of this as you.

In that same vein, highschool dances for taller girls is probably hard. Boys don't want to ask the girl that is taller than them, you know? I think it's dumb, but you know that's how boys think.

I dated a guy who was shorter then me. I didn't have a problem with it but he did. He never wanted me to wear heals and he bought shoes with lifts in them. I'm not that tall so I can only imagine.

He is more likely to call me in the middle of the night to need something (potty or fixing his covers). And he often needs something as he's going to sleep and will call me. He also wakes up first so I tend to leave it on overnight on his room, not on B's room. The only time it's fixed on B's room is during naptime.

mwhip I still use a monitor for B, and joke that I will until he moves out 😉. In rearranging his room the other week I unplugged it and had full intentions of not using it for him, but that lasted 3 nights, then set it up again. I like being able to check on him. What's funny is that S's monitor broke when I was pregnant with B (S was somewhere between 2 & 2.5). We didn't replace it till I moved B into his own room and I had to replace it for him. So we didn't use it for 8 or 9 months, and yet now I am so reliant on it with S. But he didn't start being a pain at night till around 4. So I guess that's why.

I was taller than most boys in middle and the first few years of HS. It was not fun. It's just something else for kids to make fun of other kids for. And I'm not even that tall. I can't imagine being that tall as a woman, clothes that fit well are hard enough to find at 5'7".
I bet she will kick ass on her basketball team though! :-)

Ever since M got sick in October, she's been coming in our room in the MOTN. Every time she comes in I take her back to her room. I know we've talked about it before but, I don't mind if she's really scared. Friday night she woke me up twice. The 2nd time was because I didn't blow her a kiss when I left the first time. Dude, you were asleep. Last night I woke up to a shadowy figure standing over me. Scared me to death. I take her back to her room and she says she's thirsty. Her water bottle was right there on the floor by her bed but she wanted me to get it... I even brought back the pom pom jar to persuade her to stay in her room. It only works 55% of the time.

We haven't used a monitor in years. They are old enough to wake up and come in my room if they need me. We're on separate floors and I still don't care. Those fools can sleep through the night or come to me. tgrimes, I'm glad you and your H are talking, but he needs to get his shit together and quit being so selfish. I'm glad you got to see Hamilton. It sounds like an amazing experience. dapostrophe, wow. You are wonder woman. cagoldi I hope things go well today. Wishing for healthy kids who sleep for you. peachsmama, ugh. I hope you're done soon. Madison has to have a cavity filled Thursday. I'm really grateful for our dentist though. After a slew of bad dental experiences we finally found someone who's great and right in our neighborhood. The cavity was diagnosed last week and she's already being seen this week. I love them.

cagoldi how are you doing this morning? Hopefully little miss P let you sleep for a bit. RNP to the rescue! She was a disaster last night from about 6-11 but once she had her MMSS and went into the RNP she was great. I think that incline really helped her reflux.

Ugh. Their belt test last night was kind of a shit show. They started and ended well but in the middle they were paired up to do a demonstration and mostly just stood there because Madison was holding Cass' arm wrong so Cass couldn't do the proper move. Instead of just moving on to the next thing Madison kept giving Cass shit about it to the point that Cass was crying. The instructors clearly weren't paying attention to them at all because they should have gotten them back on track. And then Madison wouldn't leave Cassidy alone when they were supposed to be sitting watching others. She is so jealous of Cassidy and it's getting old. She has it in her mind that poor Madison doesn't get any attention and Cassidy gets it all and I'm over that BS because both of those girls are given tons of love. Madison is just spoiled. Also the graders clearly never had kids or don't have young kids anymore because they kept dragging it out. We didn't get done until around 7 and they still needed to eat dinner and bathe. When I was bitching about how long it went to MH of course instead of just siding with me for once he defends the place and says it's a ceremony. I thought when you're not living in some lala land where waking up at 7 is "early" and you're the one who baths them and gets them to bed then you can talk. I'm extra annoyed at him because he called me a bit ago and said he was running behind and Maddie missed the bus. No big deal, he can drive her to school. But instead of getting his ass moving he continues to dick around and doesn't even have the kids dressed when it's 10 minutes until Maddie starts school. We live 15 minutes from the school. I said she's going to be late and his response was "I know." It's not like this is a regular habit by any means, but get your shit together. If you're running late get moving instead of dicking around on the computer. She could have easily still made it to school on time after missing the bus if he'd just gotten them ready.

My sister was the same way and the Dr said she'd definitely be at least 6'. She's 5'6". We were the same height when she was in 1st grade and I was in 6th. Wow. Her dad is 6'8" and mom is 6'4" must be so nice to never need a step stool lol. Oh then she probably will be! My parents are very average height!

Morning! Glad you loved Hamilton tgrimes. dapostrophe Can’t believe you are painting at 39weeks. Overachiever! Nothing exciting here. Work, work, work. Hoping to leave early so I can go home and watch TV in peace and quiet. I kinda hope MH isn’t there when I get off. It’s his slow season until summer school starts and he goes home whenever he wants. I want a house to myself for couple hours before the madness starts this evening.

I got out of the shower this morning and realize I forgot to pack underwear 🙄. So I did a quick wash cycle in the washer and am waiting for the dryer to finish. I’m an over packer extraordinaire...so this never happens. But don’t worry, S has 4 pair of shoes to choose from today. 😬 This is something I would do. I’m glad S has footware options galore!

Wow. Her dad is 6'8" and mom is 6'4" must be so nice to never need a step stool lol. But to be 6’4 as a women does not sound fun to me. This. 6’0 is about as tall as I’d let a daughter get (I’m 5’10 and my sister is 6’). DH and I have talked about it and if C is approaching middle school and it looks like she’s still growing/will pass 6’ by a fair bit, we will look into the hormonal therapies to slow things down. **eta: if she is interested I’m happy with my height as an adult but it was hard as a middle/high schooler at times. And from a practical standpoint it can be tough. Shoes can be tricky and I have to order all my pants (thankfully there are a lot more options now than even 5 years ago). My height is in my legs so I’m fortunate I can wear most ‘regular’ tops and dresses, but a lot of tall women need extra torso and sleeve length, as well. I can’t imagine being 6’4+.

I don't wear heels often bc I don't like being uncomfortable not because I'm self conscious. MH friends have asked why he lets me wear heels (since I'm then taller then him). Lolz on multiple levels (he agrees). Ftr, would not want to be 6'6.. Also blackish made me cry last night, but I'm glad things are looking up.

5'7 is tall to me! But I'm super short. I know the grass is always greener, but man, I would love to be w few inches taller. I feel when you are short, everyone expects you to be tiny (I'm not), and gaining 5 pounds puts you up a whole clothing size! However, I still rarely wear heels b/c I don't have to dress nice for work (today I am in jeggings, flip flops and a long T shirt), so I'm not comfortable in them since I wear them so rarely. MH is on the short side of average. I have no hopes of our boys being tall. flamingo - that is interesting to me. I have heard of hormone therapy to try to increase height, but I have never heard of it to stop growth. I Also tallb yes blackish was sad. But I'm glad they are doing better. I couldn't imagine them ending the season with them apart. I still think it is one of the most realistic portrayals of how it all falls apart.

I haven't read all the way through, but it was not good. We left with a temporary filling and an appointment for a root canal and a crown. And the Laughing Gas did absolutely nothing. I'm paying out of pocket but we're doing IV sedation for the root canal. No way am I holding him down through that. And I need him to not know this happened so we don't ruin our good dentist experiences that we have thus far. I cried harder than he did by the time we left.
