Congrats on a healthy baby shellyr! You are stronger than me re: sex— when I was pregnant with P and had the panorama, my OB asked if I wanted to know the sex and I was like— hell yes!

redandblue I can't remember your hair color before. I love the richness of it, you look great! I wish I could get those curls in my hair on my own!

Hi ladies! Happy Thursday. Neighbors are cooking dinner. I need to put the cornbread in the oven before I get the kids so that it is ready. MIL is going to watch K while I take C to soccer practice. Cast iron skillet?! MH just got one for his bday lol. My mama makes the best cornbread in here. I can't wait to try. Tonight it was just in a Pyrex pan. I think my mom took her cast iron skillet back when she found out she could still use it in her glass top (and she makes some awesome pineapple upside down cake). I should probably invest in one.

jedi I think that is the right call regarding the funeral. C didn't go to his great grandathers either. He was at daycare and everyone was okay with it.

It takes a village and I am so glad to have part of mine be neighbors! She had chili in the Crock-Pot, I baked the corn bread. We ate dinner and took the boys to soccer. It was the most relaxing part of my week. Sitting at a picnic table while my kid had to listen to his coach and her and I could talk. Adult interaction FTW!

Seriously though, the 5 year old is on some thin ice this week. Has been horrible at listening and got sent home with a note about it today. I was seeing red because it has been talked about so much this week. Neighbor kid also had a note about it. I was so close to losing my 💩 and being able to talk to another adult and not dwell on it was great. He has lost tablet privileges until Saturday and depending on how tomorrow goes, could be longer and lose more.

Deck building stopped about 15 min ago. It's 9:15. This family has young kids. So it's confusing. Luckily my kids sleep through this kinda stuff. This neighbor has been known to mow at like 8pm. Bright light to help see.

fierymama that's frustrating about C. Hopefully he's just having a hard time adjusting to kinder and once that adjustment period is over he'll be ok. I finally emailed Isaacs teacher today to see how it's going. I haven't heard back. Hopefully that's a good sign? I was really trying not to obsess this early (he's been in school one week) but when he came home from school (on a day I picked a lunch) and none of he was eaten, I kinda panicked. If he loses to much weight they might make him stop his meds. I'd like to know if him not eating is a distraction thing, a I'm not hungry thing, a not enough time thing or something else. I also want to know if she's had any issues.

fierymama I'm sorry he's having a hard time, hopefully he just needs a bit to adjust, you know? jedi I TOTALLY get the uneasiness at the beginning of the school year! I finally emailed DS's teacher this morning and she said he's talking a bit too much and she had him move so he's sitting close to her desk now. Other than that, he's doing well. I suppose I can live with that but I really want him remembering to think before he opens his mouth, gah!

jedi and jess213 He's been there for almost a month, so I am hoping this is just some phase he is going through and it ends...soon. He fell asleep last night while we were on Skype with MH. We also had a talk this morning about what he needs to do to have a good day, including - listening, washing his hands after going to the bathroom (something he has recently started to try skipping), keeping his hands to himself, and playing nicely with toys. He added sitting quietly during quiet reading. Here is to hoping our talk will lead to a good day.

jess213 I still haven't heard. I'm trying to tell myself it's only been less than 24 hours but with it being Spanish immersion and the only way to really communicate is via email/phone I'm slightly disappointed I haven't heard from her. It's not like I can take him in and talk to her in person (while she speaks English they don't do that in front of the students)

fierymama, that's good for me to hear about your time with your neighbor helping you. I have a friend whose DH is OOT indefinitely for work and they have an 8 month old. I've been trying to have her over once a week for dinner but wasn't sure if that was just another obligation or something she really wanted to do! We will keep it up...I didn't even think of the adult interaction aspect.
