Yeah... not close to me at all. But also, I should have assumed, because I think lots of drinks can be had in LIC. Wishful thinking on my part! SaveSaveSaveSaveDoes LIC stand for Long Island City? If so, that's where one of my best friends lives and where I stayed when I visited her back in March!

librarylady we have the lighter version in our room too! +1 to having a lighter version of the rug! Lmao. Some good taste here on A15! Either that or we are all just really basic 😂 Wayfair for the win!

I made the decision to reschedule Abigail's birthday party. I'm bummed but it's the right thing to do. It will actually take away a lot of stress from the weekend and now we have the whole day open tomorrow to celebrate her birthday in other ways. Plus now we'll be having cake twice! And we can leave her decorations up for a week without feeling lazy.

Just getting a chance to check in. Work was busy. They're giving me bigger claims to work, which is good, but means I'm busier. Just got dinner in the IP. We enjoyed everything so much next week is planned in it again. Safe to say I'm getting my money's worth out of it. Excited too hang out with booarogue tonight. I'll try to respond, but it just might be love tits from me.

mrspiatt IKEA plates and bowls etc are amazing both kids and adult. Love them! I doubt H would take them out. Sadly. S1 has a iep and will start kinder this year. He gets some OT but not enough. We have the blue plates, bowls, etc for ourselves from there. They're fantastic!

CestLaVie I can't imagine what you must have been thinking as you sat through that meeting. Thanks for the laugh! And congrats on the new job for your H. That's awesome!

coconutbacon You are right to be pissed about the day care issues. I don't know how anyone manages to have more than 1 kid in NYC. No wonder people camp out to get a spot at the YMCA.

It's basically consumed me all day. I have gotten nothing done. They have offered to discount our final month in the 12-24 mo room by $340, but I'm like— that's not even close to what the overall difference is for the year. I asked to speak with the owner so the director is forwarding my correspondence to her. We'll see... I'm ready to threaten to post about this on yelp and all of the neighborhood parenting social media groups/ list serves, but I also don't want to be forced to pull P out and go to a less convenient or more expensive spot just bc of principle. But I'm especially burned up bc I talked this place up and 2 of P's classmates from her former daycare just switched over because of that!

Instead of ending my work day productively I'm stress eating swedish fish and catching up on here. I really need to go finish some paperwork.

I would love to have a second but can't afford the childcare costs! I'm counting the days until universal Pre-K. At least we have that!

As much as I'd want to post to all social media sites I wouldn't unless you pull her out. You don't want her teachers or other staff treating you differently because of your reviews

aydee, Swedish fish are definitely a guilty pleasure for me. They're vegan. Health food really. ;-)

I'm taking A to Chuck E Cheese today. She's never been and I'm not a huge fan, but other than the grocery store and ballet, we haven't left the house this week and I feel like I'm losing my mind. A friend sent me a text a couple hours ago asking if we wanted to meet them there... yes please.

And we can leave her decorations up for a week without feeling lazy. Um....we might still have E's decorations up from last year. But let me clarify-just a cute little banner I made with all of his month photos from his first year. I guess we'll take it down for his party tomorrow!

The past two weeks have been crazy busy for me with DSs bday, getting ready for back to work, BFs work schedule, and this week having my Dad in town. I'm back to work Monday so I can't wait to chat with you all on a more regular basis again. I miss you guys.
