Should we switch to a weekly random thread? Everyone seems to be pretty busy these days.
The usual going on here, I’m trying to make the most of my last few weeks before I go back to work.

That’s great news about DD1. This is for getting an official dx for celiac right? Also sounds good that you’re not in such a rush to find another house too. Makes it less stressful. I suppose we could try weekly randoms. Lil fella has been refusing naps and I’m wondering if it’s him teething. One tooth has broken through another next to it is budding as well as another on top. I have my hands full when he doesn’t nap. He started playing peek a boo with his bib yesterday and was the cutest except all the food was falling out his mouth.

CoachTsWife how are both boys doing? Hoping they’ve no symptoms. Both baby and elder goes to the same DCP? Thanks for asking. So far so good, no symptoms with either. We're sending DS1 because he's had the chicken pox immunization and ped advised the risk of him bringing it home to LO was very low. We're keeping LO home and I'm scraping by doing half day PTO and half day work from home. MIL is taking a day tomorrow so I can go into work. If needed, DH will take Thursday. Def ready for this to be over, and I know our DCP is too. |

My mom has left. We had a good visit but it's been a rough few days for her. I'm definitely sad to see her go!

We are here just waiting for a hurricane. It’s hard to not know what will happen with school closings, work closings, and power outages. We have no generator so we will be living in the dark ages if that happens. I mean, we have a grill. And it’s not really cold out so heat won’t be a problem. The flashlight has batteries. 🤷♀️

So. Much. Rain. Areas are already starting to flood and it’s lasting all week long. And there’s something in the Gulf that is supposed to “develop” and hit this weekend. So I predict we will be stuck indoors again all weekend.
This weather is making me fall asleep at my desk.

duskymonkey Yes it’s for her celiac diagnosis. I was shocked to get an appointment so quick, people talk crap about our health care system but so far I have had zero issues getting care for myself or my kids in a timely manner. DD finally had her first 2 teeth come in and she was miserable, nap refusals and clingy. Hopefully your little guys other teeth will break through and you can get a break... until the next round lol cythe Glad you had a good visit! bootsorhearts1 Stay safe! Everything they are saying about the storm is making it sound like it will bring a lot of flooding and damage. Are you guys in the direct path?

Weve been super busy here, and the weather has been beautiful so I’ve been trying to keep the girls outside. DD2 has recovered from her teething grumpiness and has been absolutely delightful lately - sleeping perfectly, eating everything, laughing... I hope the rest of the teeth stay away for awhile.
Pre-season conditioning has started for H’s team so at least two nights a week I’m solo with the girls. Just trying to find my groove with work, two kids, and semi-maintaining a House.

I think I’m going to stop pumping. I don’t do it at work because it’s not worth it, so I only pump 2x: first thing in the morning where I get the most, and right before bed where I’m lucky to get 1/2 oz.
What’s the easiest way to drop the morning session? I don’t nurse in the mornings because I leave before he’s up.

I am thinking of asking for one for Christmas but can’t decide if it would just be “another appliance” or actually worth it. Pressure cooking scares me 😬 |

I am thinking of asking for one for Christmas but can’t decide if it would just be “another appliance” or actually worth it. Pressure cooking scares me 😬 I really like mine. I wouldn't say its life changing for me but I do find myself turning to it most nights for the convenience of it all. It has the ease of a slow cooker but half the time. I start dinner (aka usually saute some meat and then throw everything into the pot), H gives the baby a bath and by time hes ready for me to put her to bed it's doing its thing. I put E down and then we eat. Easy Peasy. |

bootsorhearts1 didn't know you were in the area. Hoping it will pass or grow weak. Keep us posted if you can or probably conserve your phone battery. Keep safe. cythe, glad you had a good visit with your mom and aunt...did I miss something? is your mom alright? Also dang on the IP. My sister dropped hers too and it dented a but she was too afraid to use it. I would be too. Pressure cookers are no joke. danvers, I would say yes to the IP especially if you're working and can power cook a few meals in the weekend or even if you're trying to cook after work if you get home at a reasonable time. IMO worth it. Also the beauty of the IP is it's much easier to use than a traditional pressure cooker and serves dual purpose - it can slow cook and pressure cook. curmudgeon, I loathe pumping...like just loathe it. No advice but I think I just stopped cold with DS?

I got my yarn catalog and I’m drooling over all the new yarn colours. I just found out my cousin and his family are moving to Russia for his job and I’m thinking of making them warm accessories.

I’m cool with weekly Randoms if you guys want to go that route. I don’t think it would be too hard to catch up. Maybe we could even start by doing a thread for weekday randoms and then a weekend randoms separately? The weekend randoms always seem a little more active to me, but I could be wrong. 🤷♀️
