If you're lucky enough to catch a stomach bug, that will help get you started with the weight loss. You won't feel like eating anything for a few days and the weight just pours out.
I just ordered James's birthday gift. A train table. It is on sale at Toys R Us now, so I thought I'd get it early (his bday is at the very end of June, so still quite some time away). I can't wait to give it to him! He has been playing with our little Ikea train tracks every day since I pulled them out. Has anyone else started bday shopping yet?
Our lilac bush seems to have bloomed overnight. I was looking at it yesterday morning and it was just barely starting and then this afternoon there were little leaves and the beginnings of lilacs all over. I love spring!
Oooh, I can't wait until the lilacs bloom. Any day, I guess.
Yup, totally lost 5 pounds with my stomach bug Not a great weight loss plan though...
I took the kids out to the mall this aft to get Oscar some respectable clothes to wear for this upcoming wedding season. It was fun. Who knew clothes shopping with kids can sometimes be fun?
Train table is a great idea. I wish we had room for one. I have no idea what we'll get Holly. Probably something she needs or something girly because we don't have much girly stuff.
You'll have to share a pic of the kiddos all dressed up at the wedding. Maybe even share a pic of your dress too?
We have the opposite problem at our house. Our house is overflowing with too much girly stuff. We're slowly building up on the boy toys. We have the cars and the balls. Next is the trains. I'm not sure what comes next.
Will definitely get pics. My sil is the photographer and I've given explicit instructions on getting some decent shots of my little family.
Working on my speech right now. Blah. I've been told it's not ok to simply recite the Golden Girls theme song as if the words were my own, as a friend suggested. Bummer.
At the end of DH's speech at his brother's wedding, he flapped his arms and told his brother to fly on into his new life. It wasn't planned, he just felt it in the moment and somehow managed to keep a straight face. Feel free to use that.
Are you leaning towards an emotional speech with tears or one with funny anecdotes and jokes?
I like to go for the tears but always wind up cracking jokes. There's this 13 year old class clown in me that I just can't shut up sometimes. The couple has requested to keep it more on the toast than roast side...
That's hilarious about the wing flapping, I'll keep it in my back pocket if necessary
Sunny day, errands to run with my bride to be pal, rehearsal and dinner tonight. It's going to be a good day. I will just dismiss the pile of vomit Oscar woke up in at 2 am as some kind of freak thing. He seems happy and healthy and full of appetite now.
Is it bad that I am now considering a stomach bug as an acceptable form of weight loss?
Nothing exciting here today. I have to hit the baking store at lunch and get a few more boxes and other supplies. I had a last minute order come in last night for Friday. It took me 10 minutes to explain to the woman that No, I wasn't a professional bakery, so No I would not be able to get her 6 different kinds of cupcake in her 2 dozen cupcake order, and after 10 minutes of haggling with this woman I finally told her that she could choose one of the two flavors I was already making tonight for Friday delivery and that would be that. She settled on a dozen Red Velvet. Which brings this week's cupcake total up to an even 12 dozen since Sunday. And I am exhausted!

So I got a call from the director of Levi's daycare last night. She said that somehow the woman who was supposed to be looking after him (who isn't technically a teacher but fills in for breaks, ect) lost him. They got back to the toddler room after coming upstairs from the kidzone playroom. I'm not sure how much time elapsed between then and the time she figured out she was missing a child, but they found Levi coming off the elevator by himself on the 3rd floor.
I know that 2 people got written up for it. And I have to admit that I laughed a little bit at the thought of him riding the elevator by himself....but the more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel. What are your thoughts?
Lisa, that is a lot of cupcakes. Amazing! I love Red Velvet anything! Let me know when you start shipping to Canada.
Amanda, you sound gross. I am a little jealous of all the sleep though.
James is pretty gross too, but he's having fun with it. Whenever he sneezes and stuff leaks out, he runs up to me with a big smile and I have about 1 second to wipe it away before he rubs it all over his face and laughs.
Amanda, I'd definitely be peeved but probably not enough to change daycares, unless there had been other issues too. But I'm lazy about stuff like that. At least they were up front about it? Yeah, it's concerning, for sure. But I agree with you, the thought of Levi ridding the elevator by himself is hilarious!
My friend's super fancy/expensive/montesorri/super special daycare lost her kid at the wadding pool in the middle of a huge, urban park last year. And they blamed the 3 year old kid for wandering off She changed daycares!
It's Thursday guys, is it going to be a fun day for everyone?
morning girls, Amanda that is scary and also funny-ish, I guess the good thing is they were proactive and told you about it, I think that counts for something, I would probably explain that I was not happy but not sure I would change daycares on the other hand my DH would flip his lid and would probably insist that we did. Sorry you are sick I know way to much about the UTI issues and I can sympathize.
Speaking of which, I am supposed to get my urine DNA tests back today that will tell if I have abnormal, malignant cells in my pee, I am freaking out (what's new :/) I seriously am having a panic attack about it, I feel so sick to my stomach and jittery and anxious, I am a mess and I haven't even got the results yet, what will happen if and when they say something came back abnormal? I will need to be committed. and I talked to my gyn and family dr yesterday and while they were kind and sympathized with my situation and stress level no one gave me anything to calm me down, I am not a med fan but clearly I am losing it, I could cry. I feel like this nightmare isn't going to end anytime soon
ok so that test was normal, thank heaven. still no cause for the blood but it may have just been some random thing. I don't know but any normal test is a good one. maybe now I can calm the f down.
Amanda, I just saw your post about Levi. That's pretty scary. I'm glad he was found safe. I probably would have freaked out and pulled my kid from daycare, but I have a hard time trusting anyone with my kids which is a big reason I am home with them and have gone on all school trips with DD so far. I'm not normal.
Kim, I'd seek another opinion about your stress and anxiety. They should have given you some sort of help, especially since you are asking for it. It takes a lot of courage to admit to needing help and you are dealing with so much right now. Don't give up!!!
I'm keeping everything crossed that your cells are normal.
Van is in the shop today and James is still pretty gross, so we're staying close to home. Fortunately, the weather is going to be beautiful this afternoon so we'll head out to a park later on.
