Same here.

This is all I do for my own LOL

Re: stuff for Advent calendars, I was just at Cost Plus World Market on my lunch and they had a million little things that were perfect.

I picked up a mini Etch-A-Sketch and Rubik’s Cube to add to the one I’m sending out.

You and our pediatrician encouraged me to go in for stitches, so here I am. I'm nervous!

Pretty sure my kids will be thrilled too. I bought 2 from ikea. ... which now sounds weird

I bought mine for $1 at AC Moore. I had them in my cart at JoAnn Fabrics and they rang up $4.99. That’s a big difference when you have 4 kids (yes I’m eating C’s for him, since I’m still nursing, it’s only fair, you know to him).

flamingo TTMA hulu tv. Didn't you say you like it better than sling? I need to know about sports channels.

Yes, we switched from Sling to Hulu. Now that I've gotten used to the interface, I prefer Hulu. More channels (including Bravo) and DVR. No problem getting sports; we paid extra for a sports package with Sling to get SEC Network, etc. All of that is included with Hulu.

The only channel we don't get now is Nick Jr. Can't say we really miss it, the kids like Disney shows and for Paw Patrol, we can get episodes on Youtube.

We pay $40/month now; we paid $35 with Sling.

Don’t worry, it’s just like a C-section according to my husband who claimed to know what my 4 c-sections must have been like after his 6 stitches.

tallb I told Cadence the other day that the Tooth Fairy is friends with Santa and she will be letting him know what she sees when she visited to pick up teeth.

@dapostraphe yay for Denver! What time are you getting in? The craziest flight gets me in at 7am!

I land at 5pm on Thursday. My H took Friday off, but not Thursday, so I am not leaving until everyone is at school and/or down for naps that afternoon. Evie's bus doesn't come until noon.

Omg!!! Stitches were northing!! You can tell him he's very wrong.

[wineallthetime]

Stitches are done but of course my blood pressure is pretty high so they're giving me something for that to get it down a tad before letting me go.

I've been trying not to drink during the week, but this calls for wine, right?

lahdeedah, B had the worst time going down last night too. And he NEVER does. Literally our night time routine consists of me reading a book, telling him "night night" then carrying him over to turn out the light, hugs and kisses, then into the crib where he says "night night" and turns his head and sticks his fingers in his mouth.

Yes, I realize how obnoxious I sound. He was a terrible baby, so I'm owed this

Anyway, last night he literally started screaming at the top of his lungs when it was time to go in his crib. Like so hard that I thought he was going to throw up. I went back and picked him up and it took forever for him to calm down. Every time he calmed down and I tried to put him down he would fall apart again. He just kept pointing to his rocker and saying "sit". Poor S was waiting for me to finish and put him to sleep (normal routine is both kids in Jammies, then B in his crib by 8:20 and I read S his own story and he's in bed by 8:40).

Anyway, this whole process went on till about 9:15 when he pointed to the changing table and said "poop". I checked his diaper and it was clean but he insisted on a new one. At that point I would have done anything. I changed his clean dry diaper and then he finally went in his crib.

I'm thinking maybe his tummy hurt. He had 3 slices of leftover pizza for dinner. Tonight, he will eat light and fingers crossed that does not happen again!

[jewels]

Oh and I woke up this morning to find that one of the new fishies already died. Both boys are obsessed with them. B won't notice, but S will and I don't feel like explaining it.

Oh, we all lived the same life last night I see. Except for me it was my 5 year old. He's enjoying the life of no tablet or TV today now.

Did you cycle the tank? A new tank needs time to build up good bacteria before introducing fish. Your first fishies might be sacrificial lambs if it's a brand new tank. What kind of fish did you get?

We ran it for 24 hours and put in some bacteria that the store told us to put in to speed up the process.  

We got guppies and something else.  Basically the pet store lady told us we could pick between a few fish and we let S pick out what he liked.  It was one of the guppies that died.  But the other one is doing great.  

Anything else I should/ could be doing to help keep the remaining fish alive?

Not Flamingo, but we have Hulu + Live TV. We get all the same games that you would get on Chicago cable minus WGN (local CW affiliate) which carries some games. H is satisfied the the sports coverage and dude watches everything.

Do you get any food network channels?  Do you have the dvr?

I don't think so. It takes time for the bacteria to build up in your filter and in the mean time the nitrogen (?) levels spike to lethal doses for some more fragile fish. I think you might just have to wait it out, but your pet store may have a 48 hour guarantee for the fish who die.

jewels I feel like one of the main benefits of fish as pets is replacing them without saying a word when one meets an untimely demise.

guster I've been debating on a felt advent calendar for over a week now. Srs bsns. I'm a member of Team Lazy though and am perfectly fine with the cheap chocolates. I have the cheap cardboard advent calendars which my kids are obsessed with (I threaten they better behave or they won't get to open their calendar that day and you'd swear they said I'd remove one of their toes). But I also wanted to get more of a permanent fixture to hang somewhere. As a kid we just had Hershey's kisses in ours and that was enough to thrill me.

kim22 lolz. You're husband is clearly an expert on C-sections. For some reason mine decided to discuss childbirth last night and rambled about how hard it is to be in the support role. I gave him death eyes.

[inthekitty]

tgrimes, I don't sport but I like Hulu. I got it when it was cheap and enjoy some of the additional shows I can watch on it. Most of the movies are crap with a few exceptions. The main thing I don't like about it is, at least with my level of subscription, I can't download programs.

X was a hysterical mess last night, too! And he’s normally the most laid back angel who has never fussed for nap or bedtime.

I’m thinking two year molars?

[inthekitty]

guster also, if you find an antique wooden advent calendar it might magically direct you to true love ala The Holiday Calendar on Netflix. I gave that movie a solid Meh. But way better than A Winter Affair or whatever it was I was watching on Prime last night. An annoying women falls for a rude jerk of a lumberjack and have an unintended adventure in the tundra.

A couple months ago, Pete tried to mansplain abortion to me, knowing full well that I’ve had one. When I called him out on it, he accused me of being sexist. Insert maniacal laughing and me telling him he had better be drunk AF and if we were on a first date, I would have gotten up and walked home.

Disastrous.

Yes, my issue is I don't see me being able to get to the pet store till Thursday... We got a lot of decor in there - maybe S will believe that he (she?) is just hiding?

What do men think when they do this?! I had had a 23yo male colleague who according to himself was an expert on the subject of breastfeeding because a friend of him had told him about it... he got a death stare from a lot of when he stated that ‘if it hurts you’re doing it wrong’...
