I am flashing back to being 16, getting a bookshelf with MH from Ikea, bringing it home and my dad making a comment about how we would see how compatible we really were doing a project together. We had it up in about 30 minutes and had a lot of fun doing it.
I didn't get what the hell he was talking about until I was older and actually paid attention to he and my mom (and also my ILs doing projects). They're all crazy lol

For me the compatibility test is a road trip. |

Apparently there are two activities my parents tried to do together in their early married years and afterwards agreed that if they couldn't afford to hire pro's, they couldn't afford the activities: wallpapering and moving. Lol.
DH and I do pretty well together but I am definitely more of a perfectionist. He's had to up his standards a bit--and I've had to learn to bide my time and just go behind him sometimes to tweak things 😉

Happy dance! We have movers coming tomorrow morning, and we have the driver's phone # in case we need to stalk/check in on him!  |

PW right now, sorry. sophiegrace I like the idea of something below the window, personally...storage bench or similar (kind of make it like a window seat, maybe?) It would bug me to have it obstructed. But not everyone is as uptight about their house as I am  |

Yea, what is with this stupid morning nap?? You know you need it! We are on Day 2 of this and our schedule is all thrown off. Yay flamingo!!!!!!!! Thank god for some boxes! And lucky me, I get to hear MH whine all day. He stayed home because he has a fever. Poor little guy is on his 2nd nap of the day. More than what E has done so far. |

But I try to keep it contained to these things as much as possible And here's me trying, yet again, to post a picture... ETA F*#%@& pictures!!!! |

MH & I CAN NOT put together any furniture together. He refuses to read the instructions and doesn't like it when I mention he missed a step. Hence why I put together the crib & dresser for H by myself.
We did however survive a car trip to OK during Christmas during a snow/ice storm where we were got stuck on the ice 4 times, then were stranded on the side of the road and had to hike in the snow to the Roadway Inn where we didn't have heat or food other than snacks from the vending machine. And a bottle of wine because I was thinking ahead!

TMI ahead I pulled back the skin on H's penis last night. Poor baby. I've tried before and was never able to do it, the pedi always does it. I'm so fucking sick of this shit. FTR I'm talking about my son, not MH. I felt the need to clarify... |

I often wondered how H and I would do on the Amazing Race. Probably not good. I can't remember the last time we did a project together. I put ALL of C's stuff together by myself. He tried to help with the drawers but he was moving too slow so I kicked him out.

Omg, mH and I would fail miserably at Amazing Race. We do pretty well at travelling, but lol to projects. And DNW to see us on camera getting all bitchy at each other.

So you know how when you fly you are assigned a letter or number group and they board you by group?
If MH and I are in different groups, and I am called first, he won't get on the plane with me. So either I get on alone or I wait with him for his group to be called.
😐
I'm not doing AR with that guy.

It's been 1 week, 4 days, 21 hours and 48 minutes for me to spiral. I'm prepared for the worst. I just want to know what it is. Nothing I've googled has the black spot and the cleft together so it's possible it's something else altogether. Maybe they'll name it after him if it's something new. Ha ha ha! |

Hi. I'm on day 3 on no car while dh has training. Almost done. But he goes back in like 2 weeks so that sucks.
Lillian is being...difficult. We are about 3 months away from 3 and she's starting to be not only defiant, but manipulative. Oh, and she decided that sleeping all night is not a thing she does anymore. Last night, she ran into our room at midnight screaming. Fun. She also has moments of being really amazing. She's getting more sophisticated in her play and speech. She's doing awesome in swim lessons. It's just this behavior pushing my buttons. She knows exactly how and I know she's doing it on purpose (she'll do something and then ask if I'm sad or angry). I guess 3 is going to be a mixed bag for us.
What do y'all think of the light cabinets up and darker ones down? I hate how dark my cabinets are, but I'm not sure how I want to address that.
Re toy storage, I use large bins to sort stuff. It ends up all over the place, still, but at least it has a home when it is picked up.
Re DH compatibility: we work really well as a team and do great on road trips together. But, I'm pretty cautious so I think we'd bomb at AR.

I've never seen Amazing Race, but if it involves being bitten to death by mosquitos, heights, or eating weird shit, thanks but no thanks.
