I let Owen lead the way with daycare. The first few days, he sat on my lap for about 5 minutes until he got comfortable with the surroundings, then I encouraged him to go pick out a toy and start playing. Now he doesn't even both with my lap--he just heads straight for the toys. I try not to linger if I can help it.

Lunch (ravioli) has been had, there was some playing in the back yard, bums have been changed and we have achieved simultaneous naps.

Ima go collapse.

Hey mom types: How wet was a typical through the night diaper around 20 months? I swear, her morning diapers lately feel as though she hadn't peed all day, but drank about 6 gallons of water. Is this normal? Isn't one of the signs she can be potty-trained a dry night time diaper?

Sanity check - should I buy these Docs?

juliana, YES!

signed, the shoe maven

Oooh, I missed a shoe link? Darn. Without looking, I say buy them. Cause, well, shoes. Duh.

I'm at 75% done and in need of a lunch break. I might make it...then home to a bath and a heating pad.

Oh, and I'm trying NOT to freak out that today K-Bug picks up her school schedule meaning my child is officially a JUNIOR. Crap.

Stupid fucking past roommates who leave things behind for me to deal with. Stupid fucking roommates who still live nearby but refuse to do anything to help me deal with any of this other crap. Stupid August where everyone is moving and no movers can be had to help me deal with said stupid crap. Stupid big couches that can't get in and out of apartments easily.

Stupid vw having breakdown.

Also, Stupid fucking roommate that has left a considerable stake in your getting the deposit back considering he has not paid he rent.

Grr, I'm sorry vw. At least you're out of there. And this will soon be behind you one way or another.

Man, I'm so bored. How bored? I've been keeping up with Woot.com's woot-off, that's how bored.

Ok. Just left a message for Boomerangs: [link] Hoping that they're being willing to come pick up means they'll be willing to take it out a window and over the balcony.

Are you weighing or tracking what you eat by grams? Portion sizing can be tricky

I haven't been weighing stuff, I measure by volume. After 4+ years of obsessively measuring portions for residents with very specific medical/nutritional needs, it has become habit for me. Also, the few times I end up estimating, I'm way more accurate than I used to be.

Also, Stupid fucking roommate that has left a considerable stake in your getting the deposit back considering he has not paid he rent.

Unfortunately, I think that it's more a case of stupid fucking roommate who no longer has any stake in your getting the deposit back considering he finagled people into not making him wait for it like the rest of you.
