Thanks!

Right now, the only thing I'm nervous about is the final walkthrough.

I also need to make sure that everything I'm planning to take in the car will actually fit in the car.

Trust my rage

Timelies, all!

It's 9:00 am (almost) and I have done nothing but catch up here and research baby strollers. The stuff I should be studying is sitting right next to me, untouched and lonely. I think I'm going to disconnect my internet so I can't be distracted.

Our wings are not tired.

Hi Stephanie! I think I ended up with 4 of the tiny folding lightweight strollers. I had them in the cars, office, house. I never used my big one. When the boys were smaller I found carriers more convenient because my hands were free then. I had both front and back carriers, but I preferred the front.

Trust my rage

I have 2 front carriers (two friends have given me theirs) and one of those snap-in strollers for the infant seat. Personally, I think lightweight is the way for me to go, but it's mostly just fun to read about all the options and see what's out there.

Okay, I'm disconnecting my router for real now...

We used only lightweight strollers. The big ones were bigger than we wanted to haul around with us.

blargh. I hate my job. just because I know that everyone would fall down dead of shock if I actually managed to be positive about anything for once.

fear of the hardball

ie, fear of the fist-sized, solid projectile coming towards your head at over 50 miles an hour (more for really good batters). One person's fear is another person's survival instinct.

Stephanie, the Graco Metrolite travel system is great. Lily's too wee for a light stroller just yet, and I hate to wake/unstrap her from the carseat to put her in the sling.

With Connie on the pain/sports thing.

In her case it's an entirely deserved learned response after the black-eye and getting hit in the shoulder at the plate. But she does know how to play already, and she was pretty fiercely intent on playing baseball (like her big brother) instead of softball. So just by her own standards it can't be seen as a big positive.

Mostly lurking...

Dear Former Company,

I understand that in the two years since I have not been working at your establishment that I have been late with my COBRA payment twice. One of those times it was because the check got lost in the mail (I had to send a second check). The other time was last month when I forgot to mail the check I had written. I appreciate that my lateness happened just last month, but you do not need to send me an e-mail saying, "Your COBRA is due" five days before the actual due date. I do not mind reminder e-mails, but it's not due for 5 more days. I have to wait till I get my check. As soon as I have my money, you will have yours. Quit stressing me out.

Thank you ever so much,
vw
