mwhip I use Amazon Fresh and I've been happy with the produce. I've been accused of being very particular about these things.

I have been so grumpy this morning but I think I'm snapping out of it. Work has been stressing me out nonstop lately and I need to release it. As long as I'm letting the appropriate parties know that I'm unhappy and aware that I'm being taken advantage of, there's not much more that I can do.
Anyhow Chase only had 1 major coughing fit last night and Colin slept a bit past 6 this morning, so we're making progress there. Colin hasn't even been fighting me the last couple mornings when I pick out his clothes because he's too busy playing. We'll see if that continues later this week when I attempt to sneak him into cargo pants for picture day. I successfully got him into jeans for field trip day last week, so I'm feeling a little too impressed with myself right now, LOL.

The runner is peeling an orange. The citrus smell is overwhelming and making me want to vomit. It's like bath cleaner. Oh good, she's peeling another one. How many oranges can one person eat!!!! |

For those that do grocery pick up, how do you do fresh produce? I think I need to pick my own out. I'd be a mad mo fo if I ordered bananas and got home with green ones. If they aren't ripe, I don't buy them, but with pick up, I'm letting all that control go out the window. Maybe I'm just too picky about my produce?. This is how I feel about produce, too. Bananas are actually really good example. I usually buy two bunches one ripe and ready for consumption and one totally green so that by mid week I have new bananas. I don't know if you're able to check that kind of thing for delivery. You can make comments on each item if you want to. You can say you want or don't want green bananas. I have written things like "only if expiration date is 11/10 or after. I haven't had issues with produce or meat but a lot of times they run out of things at my store and that's a pain. |

I wish they would text me if they're out of something so I can add a substitute. |

kim22 How are you feeling? So far so good today. T is at school. DD and I went grocery shopping because we were desperate. My house is a disaster but I'm trying to just ignore it because I don't want to overdo it. |

MH is out of town. N actually slept in her room all night and they were both up around 6:30. H had a bloody nose in his sleep. I had his humidifier going, so the air wasn't dry. One of my brothers and I used to get bloody noses all the time for no reason as kids, so maybe he has that trait too.
We were ready to go by 8 this morning but didn't have to leave the house until 8:45. Somehow I still managed to be late. I forgot I had to drop H at daycare before I took N to preschool. So I had to do it the other way around so she wasn't late, which then made me 15 minutes late for work. Ugh it's only tuesday...

My boss finally told us the company in Minnesota bought us. He has to go up Thursday and Friday for what he assumes is an interview for his job. Not much of an idea of the future, but I'm glad someone finally said something.
This also means I will continue to search just as hard for a new job elsewhere since I don't see the long term future here. I'm sad, I love the group I work with, we have SO much fun and work together really well. It's like a bad breakup where you know it's inevitable, but just can't make things work.

Me - I found my first gray hair.
MH - The first one that you know of.
Me - ::death glare:: I didn't really need to hear that right now.
MH - I've been balding since I was in college. Don't look at me for sympathy with your hair.

The nurse just called with my lab results. I have to up my vitamin D because that is still low even though I've been supplementing for awhile now and my rheumatoid factors are high, so I get to see a rheumatologist now. Yay.

Doing pretty good! Aside from the night wake ups-still every three hours. I’m a zombie. I️ had a consultation with the lactation consultant and she said this little one is doing great, which surprised me because he did so poorly at the end of our hospital stay. He’s not taking in a ton so I️ still have to pump and feed it to him but we’re just going with the flow over here. |

I remember my first gray, tgrimes. It was almost 10 years ago and I found it at work, while I was still pretty new to the company. A couple of my coworkers coddled me and we're still friends today. |

You guys, color your hair! I'm 40 and haven't found a gray because I color regularly! Although I color it blonde, so the grays just blend in!

I think I had a total of like 5 gray hairs in my 20s. After C though, things took off. It’ll be like a random strand here and there or a random little cluster.  Obviously I dye it. Too vain for grays. |

mwhip, I color every 6 weeks! But by about 4-5 weeks those couple of pesky grays start to become really noticeable right in the part of my hair,
