Morning! It's raining and gross here, but MH is home again because of the unsafe road conditions from the tornado, so I'm hoping to make the best of it and run some errands solo today.

Anybody have ideas on how to keep hardwood floors clean? I didn't have this trouble in our townhouse, but here I follow the same routine of sweeping and vacuuming ( or dust busting) multiple times a day, and I always either mop or swifter wet the kitchen, playroom, and family room every night, but it still not enough.

Morning! Sorry about the extreme weather guster, but hopefully you can get some errands done or (dare I say it) have some downtime since you have extra hands today My H is also home today b/c he has an appointment later this morning to have his GI tract scoped. Fun. So we have a sitter coming from an agency (wish us luck) and I'll be hanging at the hospital with a new book for a couple hours today.

Our Roomba was a lifesaver at our old house on our hardwoods. I ran it daily. I still use it here but am not as consistent, and I definitely see a difference in how much debris (mostly dog hair) accumulates in b/n cycles.

guster I'm impressed you sweep daily! I'm lucky if I sweep and use the Bona cleaner once a week. We only have hardwood in the kitchen. I'm terrible at housekeeping...H told me to contact some people and see what it would cost to get someone to come out every other week, just to maintain the dog hair. I haven't done it. I like to think I will stay on top of it, but I know I won't. Today is my Friday. I'm taking H to get Lasik tomorrow. I have a list of things I need to do in my head, I need to write them down before I forget! E woke up scream crying at midnight last night. When I met her in the hallway, she told me she just wanted to ride her bike and gave me a big hug. I asked her if she wanted to go back to sleep in her bed or ours and she turned around and went back to her bed. I asked her this morning if she remembered it, to see what had happened, and she didn't. She was way over tired yesterday!

mwhip, where do you stand with the renovation? Did they contact you about cleaning up the debris? Also, don't be impressed with my sweeping. If I didn't, we would probably have rats the size of my head. Charlie is the world's messiest eater.

Good Morning Ladies! I am still snuggling with my cat in bed trying motivate myself to get up.
Not much on the agenda today. I'm going to run out for teacher gifts this morning, and maybe pick up some seeds for the garden. I have an OB appointment later today, but I purposefully scheduled with the doctor I like best and will be asking her what her on-call schedule is like for the next week or so. I think she will work with me to come up with an induction plan (if necessary) that I am comfortable with, unlike the other two. One of which told me I should induce at 39 weeks because the placenta can wear out. I'm not 60! And what's with all the scare tactics? This has been a perfectly normal, healthy pregnancy according to all of them up until now apparently.
I'm going to bring it up at my appointment today.

mwhip , where do you stand with the renovation? Did they contact you about cleaning up the debris? Also, don't be impressed with my sweeping. If I didn't, we would probably have rats the size of my head. Charlie is the world's messiest eater. Lol, one good benefit of dogs, they do help pick up food left behind by tiny hands! Reno is pretty much complete. We are going to Home Depot tonight to meet with the manager and discuss the shit show that was last week. I don't know that we will get anywhere, but it will be good to get it all out to someone that hopefully listens. The tile guy didn't have time to finish putting the trim back in the main bath, so we need them to send someone to finish that. The wood guy came back and picked up the trash he left Monday afternoon. The trash we have left is pretty minimal, I think two bags and some carpet scraps they should have taken, so we will just put that out with our trash tomorrow. I did get a call from the carpet subcontractors yesterday. They were calling to see if we had found their electric stapler and straight edge. I knew full well, that yes, we had found them, right after they left Saturday night, but didn't have a way to reach them to tell them. I told the lady I talked to yesterday that I wasn't sure, we were still putting the house back because they were there so late. H and I talked about it and I'm going to call her back and tell her we do have them, but I'm not going out of my way to get them to them. I will leave them on my front porch if they want to swing by, but I refuse to take more time off work for them. I'm also going to ask if they were asked to send two crews out, since the lady at the contractor told me that crew doesn't like to work with others. I still need to finish painting some rooms, which I plan on working on this weekend, so I'll get some pics soon! It's just my master and the kitchen that really need painted, Evie's room and her playroom can wait, especially since she can't decide what color she wants. She goes back and forth between pink and purple. This weekend, she picked out a navy blue...uh, no.

That's crazy that they're trying to scare you into early labor. I am older than you, and I think I was even older than you when I had Josie, and they would've very happily let me go to 42 weeks. I'm glad you're seeing the dr who will work best with you. Good luck today.

Exciting times at the guster household. Hope YH is okay. Hey, it's the little things... enjoy that shower! Yes, he is OK, thanks He's had acid reflux for years and he met with a new gastro who asked if he'd ever been scoped, just to rule out any other issues. Since he hadn't, the doctor wanted to do one kind of as a baseline.

Talk of showers and yesterday's talk of baby monitors reminds me of my shower yesterday while A was sleeping. A woke up crying so my dog started howling to let me know. Who needs a baby monitor!?

Well mwhip I'm glad it's finally (mostly) over but whew! What a process. I can't wait to see "after" pics! I think y'all are smart to meet with HD; if nothing else maybe they will stop outsourcing to those particular vendors so you'll save some other customer a headache, and I think you'll feel better getting everything off your chest. Hard to believe companies like some of the ones you dealt with can stay in business, with the lack of professionalism and communication.

Morning! I have a dentist appt in half an hour. DH is there now, we are going to switch children at the dentist. I need to work 3 hours at some point today. Today is H’s last day of school. I’m going to miss the twice a week break. Then tonight is my nephew’s K graduation and we are going to my sister’s house for ice cream to celebrate after.

We’re they deep cleaned before you moved in? Maybe there’s some grim still on them that’s making it look dirtier than your daily life. We have hard wood in the kitchen and every night after the day is done i use a rag and super hot water and vinegar and hand wash old school on my hands and knees. I vacuum weekly and sweep half way through the week, and mop every 10 days or so, probably more now in the summer since we’re in and out if the yard so much.

Morning! It’s our first Thursday with no school so we don’t have much on the agenda. I told the kids we’d go to the park and it’s funny how fast they’ll get dressed for that but not for daycare.
The kid have much needed haircuts this afternoon and n has rehearsal tonight for her recital this weekend.

Morning. My day started in a shitastic way; J had a poopsplosion and it was everywhere. She gave me a big hug when she was all cleaned up and i asked if she felt better. What a sweet heart.

I probably won't be around much the rest of the day because I'm chaperoning for Maddie's all day field trip to the Children's Museum and park. Then taking her to the dentist followed by a massage for myself.

The crazy thing is I never feel my house is entirely clean with two kids. Maybe one day.. .

I think it might be because were in a period of late spring, so all the stuff that typically annoys me in April is happening now. I still have to hand wash under Charlie's high chair or under the table if he sits at the on a regular chair. Boy just gets food all over the place.

Busy work day and putting out fires. Also going to meet my cousin for lunch to see the baby. She's a huge homebody and tends to isolate herself. If I stand a chance of getting to know the baby I have to invite her to lunch and pay for lunch to see her lol.
