Good morning! I’m trying to relax before going in to work and my family keeps bugging me. I have to work for 4 hours (I think) and then I want to stop at target, Kohl’s and a place to get my eyebrows waxed. Tonight is the rehearsal and dinner for the wedding tomorrow. Should be fun. My sister is watching the kids while we go.

H is in now getting his Lasik. I'm not envious of him, since I've been through it. The Dr doing the surgery is different than the one who did mine, he was talking to me while they were taking scans and made me realize, I probably need readers.
Getting old is such a bitch.

Morning! wineallthetime Sorry you may have to cancel the baptism. Hope Yh is feeling better soon. dapostrophe Good luck getting everything you want done before baby comes! I like that couch, too. I watched Grey’s Wednesday and last night. The previous episode wasn’t too bad and I liked the finale episode a lot. It was a feel good episode with a good cliffhanger for next season. Hope that wasn’t too telling for you nam2013. Eta: I’m a couple episodes behind on Station 19. I found myself just putting it on for background noise and not paying attention. I want to finish it though.

M2 still has a fever. I made an appointment for him this afternoon. M has a zoo field trip this morning that MH was taking him to, so I dosed M2 with Tylenol and off to daycare he went. I has the mom guilt. If I wasn’t at the other workplace where I’m the only tech, I would have called in. MH will pick him up as soon as he gets back from the field trip, before lunch.
M was acting weird last night and may have had a fever, too. He woke up crying and was warm so I took his temp and it was 99.7. He sounded super congested so I gave him some meds. This morning he didn’t have fever, but still a little congested. I guess it will be a low key weekend for us if both boys aren’t well. I had plans to go shopping for a couple events we have coming up.

dapostrophe, show is the couch. I can't picture what that'd look like! So, you buy the sections and it can be configured a bunch of different ways. We did this configuration, but added an additional armless loveseat (which is also a sleeper) next to the one that is shown here: ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/cff2ca0965662c27453585bc26de0c0c.jpg) Basically, it will have 4 seats in the middle instead of two. And here is what the couch looks like (in a different configuration): ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/671f12dfd12afb68a8a07a63c97f3716.jpg) This is my exact couch. Ordered it from Coleman Furniture.

peachsmama , you watch Station 19 right? I just watched last night's episode. Oh my word! I watch the first three or four episodes, and was okay with it. Should I keep going? Also, I meant to respond to your post about Jane the Virgin yesterday. I read that in season five they're going to declare who the narrator is. I think that's pretty interesting. Also, the show runner had a plan on how to end it all along and I like that her vision will come to fruition. I didnt know any of this about season 5! Awesome, I cannot wait.

Morning ladies. Maddie is home sick today. I hope she's not really sick and just not feeling great due to her new dental appliance. She got her mouth extender thing installed yesterday and is not thrilled. Poor kid has needed lot of Tylenol due to pain. Aside from that we had a fun day together yesterday with her field trip. She wanted to ride her bike to the dentist and she did really well.
Same old stuff today. I hope to get everything finished before I leave work today. It'll be possible as long as a rush of new assignments doesn't roll in.

I thought of you right away when I heard about this this morning. :/ When will this shit ever end? Americans need to get their crap together, quit being so ignorant, and vote out the assholes who are just in it for the money. It astounds me that it's commonplace in this country to make issues like school shootings, gun control, and the environment party issues instead of people issues. I'm anti-home schooling, but not feeling safe sending my kids to school would be a reason I'd pull them out of schools with trained educators and try my best to fumble through it. I'd prefer them have a sub-par education and make it through high school alive.

Hello, good morning.
There are only 3 of us at work today and none of us want to be here, so we've basically been chatting all day, and decided to order lunch. Lemon chicken coming in a couple hours....YUUUUUMMMMM
It's a long weekend here, so I get Monday off, my Mom took B to her summer house for a couple nights and we'll go there Sunday for the day. The days are usually ok but the drive home is always a nightmare, kids are tired and cranky, but hopefully they'll surprise us.
So I've got a couple days to go through some toys and purge, B's room has become a drop zone for little knick knacks and it's basically my nightmare. I'm starting to dream about our house a year from now where the toys will be out of the living room and in their rooms and the play area in the basement area only. Cannot wait.

Does anyone use a PAX wardrobe system in their closets, or similar? I want something with drawers for both kids' rooms to negate the need for a dresser in the room. Something like this. Thoughts? love it, hate it? Would you change anything? This is kind of my end goal ![](http://tomhenriksson.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/in-closet-dresser-best-25-ideas-on-pinterest-walk-2-get-dressed-intended-for-awesome-residence-closet-storage-dressers-ideas.jpg) or this ![](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e8/bc/11/e8bc1137948070b664ee2dc95ea35c46--closet-ideas-for-small-spaces-clothes-room-organization-diy-for-teens-small-bedrooms.jpg)

Right now I am iffy on them. It's annoying because it's not the configuration I would have chosen, but I do like the look of it. For the kids, i put baskets on the shelves so it's easier to bring down a basket of leggings or PJs s and look through them without messing up piles on the shelves.

Thanks guster! I want to use the drawers and rods for clothes; then the shelving and the floor would have baskets for some toys. I'm starting from scratch so I want to get it right. I know when I suggest this to MH he'll remind me of the wire shelving that I insisted on ripping out when we moved in, but it was awful.

Ooh another couch buddy! Do you like it? Has it held up ok? I like it and get a lot of compliments on it. I’ve let O eat on the couch a few times and he made a mess but it easily came off with a warm wet wash cloth. We had to get these latches off amazon to keep the three pieces from sliding away from each other because we have wood floors. But once we latched them together it is fine and it doesn’t move. Also, my only real complaint is with the pull out bed piece. I feel like it’s a little lower than the other pieces when i sit on it, or when i sit in between that piece and another piece. It bugs me but no one else seems to notice or care.

Very earnestly, Josie just asked me if we could build a combustion engine. She said, "We just need water, wind, and fuel. I'm gonna go to the potty; can you start gathering those things?"

@snoop, do you have a link or know what the latches are called? Our sectional in our I family room is wood floors here, and it used to be in the basement on carpeting so we are dealing with consistent separation now.

I have a feeling we are going to need something too.

Our sectional in our I family room is wood floors here, and it used to be in the basement on carpeting so we are dealing with consistent separation now. Here are the ones we bought. My husband had to drill them into the sides of the couch then his brother helped lift the couch pieces so they hooked together. It stays together really well now. I can’t move the sectional if i wanted to. It says unavailable but it may be on amazon with a different seller. dapostrophe![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180518/4f43b965d35f243121ad8bd3ef868e4e.jpg)
