We'll likely do that when she's older too. I hadn't thought about that. Right now all of her friends have zoo passes and she's perfectly content just going with me. I keep forgetting that a time will come when she'll rather hang out with her friends
Sympathy like. Winter was so bad I'd be willing to bathe in pollen if it meant it would be nice and warm until Christmas
Arthroscopic is the best! I've had my knees worked over that way a couple of time and no muss no fuss and almost instant pain healing. I hope the same for you GWS xoxo
Enjoy some kitty cuddle time and a Chris Pine movie tonight.
Anyhoo my kitchen and dining room have been sterilized
if only they'd stay that way. Maybe I should put a tent in the yard for the boys
Over here, they kick you out almost immediately. I did have to stay with DD, because she was such a big baby and she was born in the evening after all the pediatritians had gone home and they needed to check her for diabetes. We were released the next morning as soon as that was done. With DS, he was born at 6:08 a.m and we were released as soon as they cleaned him up and I nursed him. And he was born with the cord around his neck and was completely blue when he was born.
Now that's a good day!!!It's a good day. Sunny, almost 70, James has a 3.98 average and I won 2 meters of my choice of 25 pounds per meter fabric shipping included
I didn't realize at the time but I also got to pick out 2 sewing patterns. Today has not been as much fun!
My greatest desire is to go home and lay in my bathtub. Lights off. With my phone. Which is water resistant. Tested. Because I dropped it in the bathtub.
I usually give gift cards to a store where a lot of teachers buy supplies. Some people suggest giving a starbucks gift card (not here, as we don't have that), but as I am not a coffee or tea drinker, it's not a gift I would use myself, and I can't be the only one. I'd rather get them something I know they'll use. So I get a decorative pail or glass or basket, and fill it with things they can use to spoil themselves and supply their classrooms. It's not as bad over here with teachers needing to pay for supplies out of pocket, but still nice to give a little something they can use, should they choose to. Other things I've done are lotions, soaps, and candles, baked goods, stickers, picture frames. When I was teaching, I got a potted plant from a student whose mother ran a floral shop. If you know a favorite restaurant, you can give a certificate for that. I think even fast food places mostly have gift cards now, don't they?
I’ll check it out!
I'm sorry! I concur. The weather wasn't nice today, it was another busy busy day, and I'm so so so fed up with the bike store. We ordered DS's bike on good Friday, DH asked when we would get it..if we'd have it by the next Friday. The guy said that, well, maybe, but to allow till the next tuesday because of the Easter weekend. So we waited, and heard nothing, but we had just gotten DD's bike through them 2 weeks before, and something had supposedly gone wrong with the call to tell us it was ready, so we thought maybe the same thing happened with DS's, and I decided to just go by. So we went by on the Wednesday and they said it had just come in the day before, so they hadn't had time to put it together yet. It was in a box...it wouldn't be done before the next day. So I waited until Friday....still nothing. So I called before I left work to pick up DS....figured we could stop on our way home. The guy says that he doesn't really know anything...he can have his colleague call me when he's available in about 30 minutes. But by that time, it would be too late. I'd be on my bike and not able to answer the phone. So then we called again, the next Monday...they are closed on Mondays. So we called Tuesday, and DH was told this guy didn't have access into the files to look up if it was done or not. DH asked for the other guy to call him back. No one called. Friday, DH went by on his way home from picking DS up from chess. The guy says "Oh, we just got this one part in today, so it's not installed yet. DH said they should have at least called us to let us know what was going on! He says "Well, hasn't there been any contact?" DH says, "Not from YOU guys!" and then the other guy that we kept getting on the phone looks all sheepish...he was apparently supposed to call us about the part, but didn't....but then, did he never relay the message for the other guy to call us the week before? So then the guy called on Saturday and asked if we were home, but we were in Eindhoven, an hour and a half away. So he promised to deliver the bike late this afternoon. I worked until 2:30, picked DS up at 3, ran by the doctor's office to get the referral for the autism organization, then went grocery shopping and rushed home so I'd be there when the bike got there. I didn't dare cook, because I can't hear the door if I'm in the kitchen. So I waited and waited...DH got home, still hadn't heard anything. So he calls, they hang up on him "accidentally", he calls back and they say they'll be here in 10 minutes....20 minutes later, they finally bring the bike....and they didn't install the lock we paid for. So now I have to go by tomorrow after work on my way home from picking DS up to have them install this stupid lock that they've had 3 and a half weeks to install, and I don't buy the "It just got here yesterday" excuse. That's nothing but an "Oh, carp....here are the people and we should have had this done.....tell them it just came in". and it's a bit too coincidental that they used that excuse twice, and they couldn't call us to let us know....why? What, your phone only works on incoming calls?? If DS didn't need the bike so desperately, I'd tell them to stuff it and I'd go buy one somewhere else.
Wow....crazy. They taught me to breastfeed, and the nurse you get at home keeps that up, making sure it goes smoothly. They check your stitches if you have any, check your temperature, make you snacks, check baby's temp, teach you how to bathe, dress baby, and how to change diapers. They will do laundry, clean your bathroom, and even peel potatoes if they have time. When DS was born, since we already knew how to do everything, she spent a lot of time playing with DD so we could bond with DS. But you get something like....6 hours a day for 8 days? Unless you were in the hospital, then that time is reduced because all that stuff would be taken care of there. I think we were on our way home less than 4 hours after delivery with DS, and the nurse was there waiting when we got there and started right away with cutting up some fruit for me.
