jim just called from work. he got to the 4th interview. if he makes it past this one the job is his. squeee!!!!!!!!

[spiritmomma]

DiD: Hooray! I'm sure your family is on pins and needles waiting for news... How exciting! When will you guys know?

[spughy]

Good grief what kind of job requires 4 interviews!?!?! That's not an interview process, that's an endurance test!

I SO hope he gets it!! Keeping my fingers & toes crossed for ya!

[barcelona]

YAAAAAYYYYY DID!!!! Crossing my fingers, toes, and everything else for you and your DH!

and YAAAAAYYYY Helen!!!!! What a beautiful and reassuring moment to hear the heartbeat of your little bean!

Thanks for all the help and info on NFP and the diva cups
I've got some research and reading to do.

And always good to hear we're not alone with the nursing to sleep...not that I don't mind, but I was feeling like the one and only with all the talk of falling to sleep in other ways and cribs and toddler beds. Thank goodness for his sleeping soundly through the night. I think my favorites are the morning, when he wakes up. He usually kisses me to wake me up, and will lie down next to me, put his face right there, and say "Hi." Being a very not-morning person, it makes it so easy and lovely to get up.

[kaspirant]

no time to post...but I'll catch up again after pumpkin goes down tonight...

However, I needed to let everyone know that I'm all good and no problems

Nothing to have worried about!

Yay.

[barcelona]

alicia...thanls for sharing, and thank goodness!!!!!!!!!!!! phew.
hope jacob is feeling better...

[flapjack]

Oh Alicia, I'm so glad
DiD, I hope that company is paying his expenses for interview- four interviews is ridiculous Here's hoping they give him the job, and it turns out to be everything he dreams of.
I'm running on sleep deprivation. Steve's project for his uni course had to be in today, so he pulled an overnighter- came to bed for an hour and that was it, plus woke me up three or four times during the night. FIL was having a bad time with his knees, and Isaac is wheezy. Must go sleep, just wanted to check in on kaspirant...

Hi everyone. Today's the day Xeowyn's going in for his dental work under general anesthesia at the hospital. I barely slept a wink & when I did I dreampt about dentists! I'm soo nervous, & so freaked out. And at the same time I'm glad it's finally today so I can finally just get it over with, get past it & not have it looming in the horizon like a big scary chainsaw weilding zombie of doom.

And on entirely different topic, DH put together my website that I'll have my handmade bibs & such for sale on. I'm gonna buy one of those packages where I can link my site in my signature later today. So far there's just a handful of bibs but I have soooo many nifty creative ideas in my head for unique kid clothes & toys & quilts.

So yeah, back to preparing for our trek to the hospital. I'll be the one sitting in the waiting room, alone, trying to act like People magazine is the most fascinating thing I've ever seen.

I hope you all have a fantastic Thursday!

[spiritmomma]

Kaspirant, good to know that it was nothing to worry about. *exhale*

Aubrey, I've been thinking about you. Hope all is well! Sorry you're so stressed out about Xeowyn's dental work. How's he doing with it? How do you prepare such a little person for such a thing? Keep us posted...

Well, folks, I think we're off to the park as soon as little miss sit on the potty for half an hour is done with her books! Hope everybody has a great Summer Solstice! Yay for SUMMER!

Man, we've had a crappy morning. Crappy!! Brynn is napping now (which, thank god, because she didn't nap at all yesterday, which made for a very long day)...but when she wakes up we're going to get the hell out of the house and enjoy the first day of summer (which is usually about the time I start counting down til Fall!).

I hate having days like this. Very un-Zen, I can tell you.
Mama PMS + teething, needy toddler = :

[spiritmomma]

Amy: s I know what you mean, mama. Yesterday was pretty bad for me, which means it wasn't good for Isa either. But today is much better. Not perfect, but definitely better. So hang in there!

[*Amy*]

I'm feeling better. We're both feeling better actually. Brynn took an early nap and then we went to the kids' gym for two hours of incredible bouncing fun - for both of us! I was in gymnastics as a kid, so it was so nostalgic for me to be back in a gym with beams, vaults, trampolines, etc. (plus they had TONS of stuff for little ones to climb up and slide down). Brynn had sooo much fun in the big foam pit - we jumped in together and tried to pounce on each other, and then had to climb our way out, like quick sand. It was awesome!

And I'm excited now because tomorrow's Friday, which means just two more sleeps til we get to meet up with Spiritmomma, Isa, SoulJourney and Noah Sage on Saturday! Woo woo! Hey Kavita, are you going to be back by then? Maybe you could come too, or drive through Indy on your way back down?

Aubrey, how did it go?

i was going to ask too. . .

Aubrey. I know today is going to be so hard for you, but you're doing the best thing for him. Take time to look after yourself when the two of you get home.
Amy, the gym sounds fun, much better than the PMS. to you too.

[*Amy*]

Thanks Helen. It's amazing how just getting out of the house and not having to eat the same old stupid crap for lunch, and splurging on a cream soda, can make a difference!

Well, we're going to go stay at a hotel tonight because our water main has been broken since about 1:00 this afternoon and they are still working on it, and I need to like brush my teeth and stuff! But we got a 4-star hotel on Priceline for $50 bucks, so it's actually going to be enjoyable. I'm not going to haul my computer down though, so I'll catch y'all later tomorrow. Peace out.

No worries about expenses for the interview. It's at the place he currently works at, but it would be a huge promotion. I have no idea when we will find out but I am just on pins and needles waiting.
Does anyone else's toddler say no when they mean yes and no? I'm going crazy trying to figure out when he means yes and when he actually means no. Argh.

[flapjack]

I don't ask yes or no questions, I don't normally like the answer I get I give choices, generally with something to point at. (cake or biscuit. Banana or apple. Pink or blue, etc.) She sometimes says no and tells me what she wants instead, but generally this works for us.

[DreamsInDigital]

Some things aren't choices though. Are you hungry? Yes or no. He always says no. But if he meant yes he'll go to his high chair and climb in.

This is Isa's specialty. It's called CONFUSION! We've been able to figure out what she ACTUALLY wants by following cues (like walking to her high chair after she's just turned food down...)

Yes or no questions seem to sometimes be the only way for she and I to communicate. After several frustrated attempts to derive her true answer, we too switch to Which one? and wait for the pointing...

[flapjack]

Children sometimes refuse food???? Are you sure? None of mine have ever done that...
