Jean in Newcastle Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I wish that I could stay home but alas I can't. I have to church and later I have to IL. And I won't be able to eat any of the Chinese take-out that is being ordered so I'll have to figure out food for dd and me as well. Pout. And whine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Another Lynn Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We went to Sunday school and then came home because ....wait for it...... another soccer game!!!! I also quickly made pancakes, reloaded d/w and laundry and bailed out a stopped up toilet. It's still stopped up. Now I'm at the soccer game. Alone. In the rain.

JoJosMom Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 The youth pastor was preaching this morning. DD and I both had to use the bathroom. And wound up in the car. (He's really, really nice. But he cries. Every. Single. Time. He's started choking up over his intro this morning. NO. Just no.) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paige Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 I was only 10lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight today! 🎉 At least half of that has to be in the chest. I still can’t get even my largest early pregnancy pants past my thighs, though. It’s the hip spread from labor, right? And then I took a shower before it was time to feed Baby and I gained 5lbs in the shower! The engorgement is serious. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 AMJ--my dh does the same. I at least have convinced him to carry a plastic pill holder rather than just dump them in his pocket. No simethicone though--allergy medicine instead. They sell pain meds in little pocket vials -- DH took over two of those, removing the labels and adding a black Sharpie marker dot to the lid of one. In one he carries various pain meds and Gas-X. In the other he carries various allergy meds. When we were on our cruise I had thought I left my pill boxes behind, but I had bought vials of Aleve, Tylenol, and Advil. We restocked DH's pocket pharmacy from those and I used two of the vials for my daytime meds and vitamins. They are very handy little vials, and quite durable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have picked up a bottle of Irish Creme from the liquor store two doors down, but they aren't open today. I'll survive; I have PB&choc ice cream. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) DD got the AG catalog yesterday, glanced through it and handed it to me and said, "here, look through it for my Christmas presents."😮 At least you've got a wish list. Someone in my household hasn't handed in a wishlist one day before her birthday. Somehow, I think the only thing she's going to get is the water/wind wheel she ordered in August and will arrive a few days after her birthday. Especially since I've been too sick to bother doing anything, really. https://www.waterlilyturbine.com Naturally, after submitting my material for the contest, I'm positive that I messed everything up, that my story is trash and my query is so bad anyone who reads it will vomit reflexively. Plus I can't spell, place commas, conjugate verbs or create an interesting protagonist, write an attractive sentence or basically put three words together in a logical way. :wacko: This is why you should never let your children grow up to be writers. ...and why you should let them grow up to be pharmaceutical sales reps for whichever company produces Xanax. (btw, xanax is a terrible choice for this kind of scenario, since it's relatively short-acting) Edited October 15, 2017 by luuknam 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJ Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 Earlier at ILs' house we were discussing when my Dad moves down, and perhaps DD16 could go volunteer wherever he settles. DD said she wouldn't mind visiting him, and can listen quite well to rants. I looked at her, and she said, "Not you, my friends and cousin. I listen to them all the time!" We nodded our heads over that, then DD continued: "After all, these are people I actually LIKE--" MIL's and my loud guffaws drowned out the rest of her sentence. (She did actually say more, though she paused for breathe RIGHT THEN, so it sounded like a slam.) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luuknam Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 We passed a place called "Chigger Ridge Nature Area". :huh: Really? Who was the genius that came up with that name? :D Someone hoping to deter humans from actually entering the nature area, and therefore disrupting nature? I'm going to guess clean boost is extra agitation (if it's a top loader... I think top loaders agitate, right?). Otherwise, no clue. Of course, there's google, if you want something other than speculation... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
