Maybe a classmate?  I don't know all the families in his new class yet.  Or possibly on a show?  Unlike guster 's cousin, I believe in screen time, so I don't always see what he's watching...

Or he could have driven by a moving truck like 6 months ago and asked one of us what it was.  He has a memory that terrifies me.  He'll remember something from like 2 years ago that happened 1 time... it's crazy!

M is the exact same way. How are their memories so good?

I dunno.  I wish I could remember half the stuff he does.  I also wish he would remember not to climb on the couch or to throw away his garbage as well as he remembers the one time we ate at a random restaurant in 2016.

jewels have you looked at Wayfair?

I haven't, only b/c I am worried about the quality without seeing it.  I want something durable, that will last us a long time. 

Although MH just got some bookcases for his office from there and he was pretty happy with them.

C has been obsessed with moving for a while. He asked for a new build for Christmas this year! He also asked me this morning if he can get a house big enough to need an elevator. Cadillac taste.

I’m waiting for a call from my parents. I got a call from school that C caught a tooth in the head and had a gash. He ran between a teacher talking to a student and apparently jumped up and his head hit the teachers open mouth. It didn’t look bad but may need glue. Im stuck at work so my parents are going to pick him up and evaluate. They said it was t bleeding and he wasn’t crying but he has a gash the size of an adult front tooth in his head. Always exciting around here!

I was just about to say the same thing!!! He remembers a random ice cream parlour or something like that from last summer vacation, yet I have to tell him to to jump in the couch 1100 times a day!

snoopmommymom do you have a Nose Frieda? I still boogie suck C when it’s bad because he can’t figure it nose blowing. A warm bath will also help loosen it.

Also is he competitive at all? I would try to also swish with something and compete for who can swish the longest. C is uber competitive though.

[snoopmommymom]

Good idea wedding. I dont know why i didn’t think of that. I guess i stopped using it on him once he learned how to blow his nose. I swear, my kids get sick and suddenly I’m #new.

[xolastunicornxo]

Hi from the couch. I woke up at midnight last night with a fever and stomach pain and spent basically the whole night in the bathroom. So I’m exhausted and still feel icky. My body usually fights of viruses quickly so I hope I’m better tomorrow, but being sick with dh gone sucks.

Pity party over.

[nam2013]

xolastunicornxo I’m sorry you’re not feeling well, hope it’s short lived!

[vino]

Oh yuck, feel better xolastunicornxo

The reviews are definitely key, and people comment on everything! Which is great.  I've bought a couple things off there, one being B's headboard, and love it.  The variety is nice right at your fingertips as opposed going to 3-4 stores.

I actually was just on there today, for our whole house change June 2019, rug, twin bed for J, etc.   

[cagoldi]

Oh I would be feeling sorry for myself and cursing the universe for sure, xolastunicornxo. Hope you are over it quickly.

[cagoldi]

I'm furious.

They messed up my scheduling again. They said they had me for Thursday at 1:30, not Monday. Well, your guy screwed up because I'm positive he said Monday. I added it to my calendar as we were talking, repeated it back to him, and Pete heard exactly the same thing I did (he was on speaker). The receptionist asked me if I wanted a printout appointment reminder. LOL NO. I need you to keep the goddamn appointments!

So X missed naptime and now I had to bring him back to an active construction zone. I did put him in his crib but with all the hammering going on I don't think my chances are good.

You can bring him here for nap. Or just to get away from the construction zone.

[chrisy01]

xolastunicornxo rest up. You do a lot so it's not a pity party

[chrisy01]

I'm tired. I really haven't gotten my afternoon nap and don't think I can. At least I got out of he house today with E and my parents so I don't get cabin fever.

[guster]

I'm sorry, @goldi! How unprofessional.
Feel better, @unicorn!

I've given up and we're on a walk in the million degree heat. If he ate anything, I would take him for ice cream.

At least walk at the mall so it's not so hot. That's what I did this morning.

[snoopmommymom]

Man cagoldi I’m sorry. They need to get their act together.

xolastunicornxo I hope it’s short lived! I don’t know how you managed it being summer break and all.

They’ve watched tv and played video games all day.

Whelp O’s fever came back but much slower and only to about 100. I mean, maybe it would have gotten higher if i didn’t give him Motrin. I’m sending him to school tomorrow anyway. I have no other choice and he’ll have 5 antibiotic doses by then. Oh and i opted for the gentian violet for his thrush. Here he is happy after Motrin.

[tgrimes]

xolastunicornxo I hope you feel better.

Poor O. I’d send him too. Just dose him in the morning before you walk in.

[dapostrophe]

H organized our Tupperware cabinet unasked, so he is somewhat redeemed. Plus I got a nap, so life is much improved for everyone 😁

[dapostrophe]

snoopmommymom Poor O. He is adorable though!

xolastunicornxo Noooooooo! That's the worst, hope you recover quickly before the clan senses your weakness and revolts. Or does that only happen at my house?

cagoldi Ugh, no... unacceptable! They need to get him in stat. I would be livid too.

[chrisy01]

cagoldi I can have my mom yell at them for you. She tends to get results. She's scary when she gets angry about things like that.

[sands42]

cagoldi She is sooo cute! A's twin!!

Feel better xolastunicornxo

dapostrophe I have the same husband as you and everyone else apparently... except vino (your H and I would get along great. I'm always on time if not early.) I usually get myself and all the kids ready and he is still not ready on time. I always tell him we have to leave at least 10 minutes before we really do.

[jewels]

xolastunicornxo oh no! Sick when H is away is the absolute worst!!

cagoldi I’d be pissed too!

[flamingo]

snoopmommymom he is too cute, even sick. Poor kid.

xolastunicornxo your pity party is well-earned! Why do things like this always happen when one’s husband goes out of town?? I hope you’re feeling better tmrw.

vino my H is like yours. sands42 he tells us we need to leave 10 min early for everything, too Y’all would get along. I’m usually right on time but he prefers early.

jewels I’m familiar with Stickley, I don’t have anything in that style personally but I always admire their stuff. I’m kind of like you, I like being able to see furniture before buying (or at least a sample of the finish, etc). Have you looked for any multi-line furniture stores in your area? That would be what I’d do, I think, so you can go and see things in person and compare.

We need new bedroom furniture but I’m waiting til we’re back in FL and not subject to frequent moving/risk of damage. I kind of know what I want style-wise but it’s a lot of money and I’m pretty sure I’ll be afraid to commit when the time comes.
