We have absolutely no plans today, so I am going to let the kids play while I scrub bathrooms and secretly move toys that we no longer use down to the basement to get ready for donation.
Moms of dinosaur-loving kids: Will you spam me with dinosaur gift ideas? Charlie’s birthday is next week and I’d like to try and find some cool gifts for him.
ETA: I also would like a balance bike recommendation. Are they worth it? Do they convert to a regular bike? I don’t know anything about them, but he is turning three and doesn’t pedal his trike, and wants nothing more than to keep up with Josie.

guster S loved his balance bike but it did not turn into anything. However he stopped using it around 3. Not sure if that’s cuz he outgrew it or bc we got him a regular bike for his birthday. B is starting to use it now and got the hang of it pretty quickly. Not sure this is helpful

I like that, jewels. We have tons of those little microsized dino. They keep them in the bin with the bigger ones, now, but it be nice for them to have a place of their own. |

guster ds has a balance bike and he loved it (still does). Over here people say because they’ve mastered the balance aspect, once they get a real bike they don’t need training wheels. Which was the case for ds. He has a slightly bigger (‘12) version, Dutch brand, so no help there, but it looks like this.

I like the style of that one,@nam! We are overrun with everything, jewels. No problem adding a few more. We have a public brand balance bike. It's super cute but j didn't use it much but does use it now even though it's way too small. We are going to upgrade him and hoping N gets more use from the balance bike. |

It’s good to have a brand to look at. And you gave me the recommendation for the micro mini scooter which is Josie’s absolute favorite thing. |

Morning ladies! I hope you're feeling better this morning chrisy01! Evie has had a loose tooth for a week now. I don't know how it's still in her mouth, it is barely hanging on. H keeps trying to help her pull it, but she freaks out and says it hurts. I've had to tell him numerous times, it's her tooth and her mouth, she will take it out when she's ready. |

You know how I was given antibiotics for a tooth infections I didn't end up having? Welp, now I have a yeast infection. I called my Dr to get a prescription for Diflucan since OTC stuff usually doesn't work for me and they want to see me to confirm. Hell no! I know what it is people! So I did Teladoc and they are calling it in.
Also I have a Groupon for each car to get detailed that expires at the end of March. I started calling the last week of February to schedule and kept getting voicemail and leaving messages that went unanswered. I finally get a hold of someone today and they only have one Saturday appointment left all month. Now I have to figure out a weekday that one of us can be home for them to come and do it. They come to the house which is why I booked them but the guy was saying since its cold they are having people come to the shop. Yes, this is logical, but why sell a Groupon in December that is only good for 3 months for a mobile service!
People are annoying today. I am also giving my psych until noon before I leave her another message.

Morning. H has school this morning and while she’s there S and I will meet friends at skyzone to jump. Nothing else going on until I go to work this evening. That’s frustrating wedding, I’m sorry. |

Morning. I’m feeling blah today. Woke up with a headache and Tylenol hasn’t helped. I’m sitting on the couch drinking peppermint tea hoping to prevent the massive bloating I’ve been dealing with this week. Any other suggestions? I looked 6 months pregnant last night and so uncomfortable. My pants were unbuttoned most of the day at work. Ha.
My boss is out until tomorrow so i haven’t seen him since before vacation. Saturday is the expiration for our government contract which means I will literally not be selling anything starting next week. I think I’m finally getting Dh on board with me quitting. I told him now would be a good trial period for me to SAH. Then come early next year when the baby is a few months old I can look for something else if we decide SAH isn’t working. Because realistically, I’m not going to find a part time job that will offer maternity leave in 6 months.

wedding My Ob does the same when I've had a YI...so annoying. I know what it is, quit wasting my time and just give me what I need to feel better! Also, on the Groupon, would the company extend the offer since it is out of your control? I've had them work with me before when the Groupon demand was more than they anticipated. slenle That's exciting about the potential to stay home. Is there a chance the contract will be renewed?

wedding that’s very frustrating tgrimes I agree that insurance companies shouldn’t get to decide what is deemed medically necessary, the doctors should.

I got my swim in this morning and now I am trying to get into working mode. It was very cold today. E has swim lessons today which means I get to watch him bounce up in down in the water waiting for his turn and swim for a total of 5min of the 45 min lesson.
