Oh hai. I thought my kindle fire died, but it was just the charger. Duh.
Three more weeks until h comes home. I cannot wait for Lord of the Flies to end. Or to at least have additional adult back up. The boys are having a fun summer, but holiest of balls I am tired. 27 weeks, huge, and BH on the regular.
Packmomma, who are you now? I have figured out most of the other names. I think.

Vent ahead... So I have been busy painting my main floor etc. In preparation for selling and new house. I decided to trial a colour I most likely will use in the new house (called cloud nine, really pretty/bright pale white/blue/grey). I just have to finish accent walls (called Canadian sky, slightly darker) and up hallway. My dad comes to pick up DS1 and was like 'oh I see you've been painting again...why are you painting if your moving? Yuck I don't like the colour, I rather that one' (pointing to previous dark grey wall). Umm jerk...I was like 'well seeing as you spoke too soon, I really like this colour and will probably putting in our new house'. Like don't give your opinion unless it's asked for...
I recently had a conversation with DH asking him why he doesn't really talk to my Dad. He said he makes him nervous because he is so critical....i kinda understand what he means...lol

You guys know that the transition on tapa want up to the admins, right? They submitted in a time frame that things should have been competed before the weekend, but proboards didn't get it done.

M had a good day, and he napped! H forgot to take in the bag of toys, but if he was going to forget a bag, that was the one to forget. M is suddenly into cars today, which is great because he's greeting a garage and car set for his birthday.

Oh I know. But it was the admins that decided to change the URL the first time in favor of those that were complaining of not being able to access at work. Those of us that vented our frustrations were basically told we don't give a fuck just use mobile desktop. You know just like these people unable to access at work could have done too. Then it was the admins that decided to do the name change on a Thursday which is pretty close to weekend (imo) where there is a higher probability that it wouldn't update. And before people get all"we can't use our personal cells at work" in pretty sure using a work computer for personal things is also frowned upon.

I put myself on the waiting list for several ebooks at the library a few months ago. Five have come through in the last 3 days 😬. They automatically download and I have 2 weeks to finish so I've been frantically reading every time I sit down to nurse the baby. I hate that! I have discovered hold suspensions on overdrive and it's a life saver.

Tapa users could still access this site from their phone using mobile, it's just not preferred. People at work who may not want to/or can have the phone out the whole time couldn't access it any other way because they were blocked. It's really not that serious.

I hate that! I have discovered hold suspensions on overdrive and it's a life saver. I just checked that out. Interesting. So when one comes available and you're also at the top of the list of others, you suspend them? The other 5 I have on hold won't be available for awhile, but that's good to know. Yep. I suspended a hold for 21 days on one book and right now I'm #1 on 3 copies. So I can wait the full 21 days and then I'll be next to get it. Or I can cancel my suspension and get it as soon as ones returned. It's luxury for library services

I finished Truly Madly Guilty (did not like) and Pretty Girls (SO good but very intense). I just started The Couple Next Door, and The Nightingale and I Found You have been checked out. The Handmaids Tale and Hillbilly Elegy and 3 others I can't remember are on hold. I think all the ones checked out to me are pretty quick reads though. I read the couple next door soooo fast! And the nightingale. Sooo good. The ones you have shouldn't be a problem to read quickly.

I just got done working, damnit. I meant to cancel my shift (just online grading Praxis exams but 5:30pm-9:30pm yuck) but forgot. Luckily, I checked email right at 5:30 and saw my "welcome to your shift" email and was like....oh shit. I guess I'm doing this. I am supposed to do it tomorrow too but I will cancel for sure. There is no way. We're exhausted here, back to no sleep this week...I finally got E to nap around 2:30 while watching a Babies video from Amazon Prime. He only slept on the couch for about an hour. I think DH got him to go to sleep in bed with him in the guest room around 9 so we'll see if he makes it to the crib tonight or not. I think he gets a better night of sleep in the crib, but transitioning him there doesn't always go well. This is going to be a post n run so I can get in bed but I'll catch up with the rest tomorrow, I hope!

jedi you're feelings are valid. You might say you're not taking it serious, but that is not the way you're coming across. I love you and I'm glad you're here. Thankfully the name is settled and there won't be a need to go through that again.

The Handmaids Tale and Hillbilly Elegy and 3 others I can't remember are on hold. I think all the ones checked out to me are pretty quick reads though. We're pretty in sync... I loved the nightingale!! And I really enjoyed pretty girls. Kind of graphic but really addicting! I started her 7 book series right after that too (Blindsighted is the first one). I read the couple next door and liked that one too.

amichelle723 ebooks from a library? Amazing. I wonder if ours does that. Re: truly madly guilty - I have not read that one but I love a lot of her other books. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Life is moving faster than I can keep up with. That, and the move to daily randoms has been hard for me. There's not much point posting in a deserted thread at 11pm.

Just wanted to let you know. You're so sweet to check in. I don't know what Aug15 would do without you. Any updates from you? I haven't even managed to lurk lately. Any surrogacy progress?
