Just finished shovelling. SIL is coming out to take the boys to a Play Place for a few hours. I'm gonna get some groceries and do some cleaning while they are out.

Hello!
WFH this morning. I have an 11:00am conf call but otherwise should be mostly quiet.
My friends baby shower is tomorrow (the one with twins). I always feel so “insecure” going to things like his, like I haven’t spent enough. Which I don’t think anyone has ever made me feel that way, I think I just like spoiling people. We gave her literally all of our baby stuff - cribs and mattresses (which we know how much they actually used those lol), stroller, car seats (she knows one was in an accident but untouched), four bases (two unopened), walkers, bouncers, auto rock n plays, compact high chairs, toys, clothes, bottles, etc. so she didn’t have a lot on her registry and what was left, was like fluff. So I got her the things she’ll really need - six jumbo packs of diapers, big box of wipes, two laundry detergent, creams, thermometer, Tylenol, Motrin, four baby washes, and about 10 books. I want to use four of the boxes of diapers to spell “BABY” (I already wrapped them in kraft paper) but have no clue how to do it lol - paint, stock paper, pre cut letters, etc. I also don’t know if it’s weird if I spell BABY when it’s actually BABIES lol.
Oh well, that’s whats on my mind today. Is do I need more, and how to resent this. By tomorrow.

I'm at work. I think H may be constipated because he doesn't want to poop in the potty. He used to poop when he'd wake up in the morning before I'd get him out of the crib. But this week we've been having to wake him up.
He's pooped on the potty a few times but I think they were flukes. He was pushing so hard to get the pee out so he could get an M&M that a little would come out. Lol.
Maybe I need to up my M&Ms to a better treat and bribe him to poop. Hmmmm.

I don’t think you need to be worried kleigh! I sent my friend who lives in Miami and RnP so all I brought to the shower was a book and a wubbanub.... I felt weird but she knows what I actually got her.

goldenlove and tgrimes I feel like I can’t or shouldn’t consider the stuff I gave to her that was ours. But at the same time, there’s really nothing else to buy aside from more clothes which they really don’t need and will also get anyway. And then, her mom put on the invite that instead of a card please give a book or diapers, so I just feel like the books and diapers don’t count (or only as a card). Which is dumb, I know it counts, it’s surface level thought.

Better! Now it only throbs when I stand up or when I flip my head over to blow dry my hair.

Helloooo Friday!
B is off at school and J and I hit up the grocery store. I need to do some cleaning around the house but that's really all I have going on today.
Tomorrow is the bridal shower for my SIL. I am ready for it to be over with. There is SO much drama going on with the family. Luckily, I will be deep in mimosas to GAF about any of it.

Just keep the mimosas flowing and live blog the event. Please and thank you.

It's snowing again. 🙄
But the snow from yesterday is gone and this isn't sticking, so it's not the end of the world. Just annoying.

I brought soup for lunch today but I'm almost done with it and I'm still starving. Would it be ridiculous to go buy something in the cafeteria?

kleigh I would buy a card for like $1.00 (if I was buying one), so yes diapers/books absolutely count as a gift even if they are "instead of a card".

Happy Friday! This has been the work week from hell. My boss is in Japan so everything falls on me. I’m glad it’s Friday. We are going to food trucks tonight w O and then doing a bonfire later w the neighbors. I wish I could have all the drinks! Does it make me an alcoholic if I’m ready to have this baby just so I can have a drink? Lol

I stayed home sick today but FFFC, I feel better today than yesterday. Yesterday I had no voice and my throat was a bit scratchy. I planted the seeds all day at work that I might not be in today while completely planning in my own head to stay home. So when I woke up this morning sounding and feeling better, I hesitated for a moment. That passed quickly and here I am watching tv while eating lunch by myself. It was a good decision.

I've done this too. I always push myself too far and am usually on the mend by the time I decide to take the day off. Whatever we all need a day once in a while!
