zorbs- Luckily, with  your collection, you already have the nail polish part covered.

runnergirl- R had to have a Hep B and flu shot, I think, at his 18 mos checkup. Glad you are having a good time with your mom.

Jen- I was in a mood like that yesterday, hope you feel better- chin up, its Friday!  DH is really slow at getting R ready, too. I think its because he has less practice.

Ernie- If I ever have to been in another wedding, it will be too soon.

Mer- how many running days will you have in a row? My max is 3-4 days in a row without a rest day. If you keep it light and easy and maybe do a few strides at the end, 5k would probably be great. I guess OBs here are lazy, I called to make an appt when I was expecting R and they don't even see you until you are 12 weeks here. I was almost 14 weeks at my first appt because my Dr. got jury duty and had to reschedule me.

armama- hope you find time for your massage soon. R has been up all hours of the night this week and its killing me. I cannot wait for our new house with the master bedroom on the other side of the house from the kids rooms.

mzm- I live in a small town too and have to drive at least an hour to shop someplace other than walmart. That's what Amazon Prime is for. I don't even want to know how much I have spent on Amazon this past year.

Becky- I hate home sale parties, I feel like you have to order something to be polite. Is it Lia Sophia? I was invited to one of those but didn't go.

cx2- that's sad about your nanny. Maybe she will adopt?

Bermy- that is lame that they wouldn't sell you Nyquil. In Washington they keep Sudafed behind the pharmacy counter because of meth cooks. Sorry you have a cold, I'm sure it will move on quickly with your super clean diet. I'm at 2.5 weeks of congestion. I'm not sick anymore but my sinuses seem to think I am.  I plan on keeping DS in his crib as long as possible, that kid is a wiggly thrasher.

CA- hate moving carseats around. We have one for each car so that I don't have to LOL.  Glad the boob is doing better.

Jewerly party - back when I played tennis, one of the ladies - her sister is a jewelry designer in Cali and when she comes to VA, she hosts a party at bosslady's house to show off her latest stuff.  NOT one of those other jewelry parties....those suck.  I thought it was tomrrow afternoon though so that screws up my plans for today, especially since I missed the alarm this morning.  Boo.  Oh well, I will get over it.

Zorbs:  Hahahah on the fart candle.  Ut oh on the outfit, what did you figure out?  Oh and I love the inknburn skirt.

Shelby:  I hope you get some studying done and hooray for lulu trip

cx2:  How sad for the nanny though, at least you know she loves kids.

Spike:  I know, I don't really want to buy anything at the party but I feel that I have to.  Its not cheap either.

Ok, need to go back to page one I can't remember anymore....

spike - I thought about it and it will only be 3, but if I have the full energy it will be 21 miles in 3 days.  Crazy when my weekly mileage is around 28 or 29!  My DH gets really cranky without food too.  I always tip toe around until he has eaten and calmed down a little bit.  I get cranky too, just not nearly as bad as he does!

shelby - I hope you get lots of studying done.  I like going places that cut me off from the rest of the world.  I am way too distracted by the Internet!  It will be our second ultrasound.  They did one at my initial appointment because I didn't have dates for them to work off.  So we had to know how far along I was!

Becky- DH does actually get a "reimbursement stipend" from the volunteer association. For command shifts its a low rate that equates to about $50/weekend, and then on calls they use a point system so the more calls you go to, the more you get from the reimbursement pool, so every 6 mos DH gets a check for $1500-2000 usually, but its peanuts when you consider how much time he spends down there.  DH is a captain on the department and does a lot of extracurricular training and mentoring for the guys, but its also his main hobby besides going to the gym. I'm really glad that DH gave up the volunteer police officer thing, it was too much on top of the fire department. I usually complain more about DH going hunting than to the fire house because at least the fire dept usually doesn't cost us money for gas/supplies and I know where to find him if I need him.

Mer- I run most of my miles on F/Sat/Sun too, I'm running about 20-25 mpw and log 12-15 on the weekends. I would just play it by ear, if you feel good and have the energy this afternoon when its time to run, go for it. If you don't feel like doing it, listen to your body and rest.

back for a few personals. got in 3.1 on the tm before c woke up again this morning.

zorbs: yup, i have nothing that would got with blue but black. have so much fun being a bunny!

rg: good luck at the appointment. i don't think there are any scheduled at 18 months unless some were pushed off in previous months.

jen: yum to panera. what do you usually get?

ernie: what is jack and jill? qdoba is a made to order mexican joint with the best burritos ever.

mer: burned out with running; it is starting to feel like a chore.l i ran 3 days in a row and my hip starting hurting. makes me wonder if i will ever be able to run long distances. and with all the mileages others posted on fb even with running 4 days a week i am no where near that.

arm: my knee was hurting during my run this morning; i am thinking i need new shoes. how cold?

becky: homemade or ordered in pizza?

cx2: did the nanny have an opinion on the c's sitting up from laying down? glad she was social with the nanny!

bermy: sorry you're sick! dh and i were behind a guy trying to buy nyquil amongst 50 other things; they carded him (he was probably 40+), he didn't have his id and they refused to sell it to him. best part was when he answered, "guess i won't be having fun with that tonight." i offered to buy it for him.

car: where are you going to in florida? i am so utterly jealous.

spike: i love hawaiian pizza!!!!

arm: okay, i'll give that one to you

Zorbs – crisis narrowly averted with colours of bunny shirt. How cool to be pacing a race. You are “up there” in the ranks of running. Ditto on kale – I got the kale with chocolate ones and they did the same things.

Rg – fantastic pace. Great job – were you hanging onto that pace or did it feel great?

Jen – sorry I didn’t get back to you. I meant daycare need to operate like you do – one-on-one – e.g. follow his clues – he clearly wants to climb and use his body – so let him – but in a safe environment. He is yearning adult stimulation – he deserves it. Daycare are being lazy and short-sighted to expect a 17mo to play independently. I would arrange a meeting with them to tell them exactly what you think your son needs and how you would like them to take care of him in your absence. If no luck, check out other day cares or think about another solution e.g. parttime/ hire a man-ny for the afternoons for roughhousing/ climbing etc. Never fallen out of bed before.

Mer – you wouldn’t need to be a fly on the wall, you would be next to me with your son. And you would pull me aside and say “stop talking now bermy, just walk out”. I think I would drive you nutty. Yay for scan coming up – very exciting. 2 flights – 30 mins to Atlanta and then 3 hours to bermy.

Ernie – DS did same raspberry blowing thing to me – he would unlatch and then blow huge raspberries all over my boobs like it was the funniest game ever as it made a really cool sound. I could buy nyquill regular just not nyquill D. No idea what the difference is, and with my substance history I am not taking nyquill.

Arm – agree on massage – never being the right time. I think a Sunday night would be perfect but which salon is open then?!

Mrszm – please don’t hate me for the jeans thing. Fun on busy weekend. Ice fishing sounds brutal but kinda fun. Your town is very very small. Do you know everyone? Wish you could have bought me cold meds for my DH. I felt like a law breaker.

Becky – DH asked me “do you think the supermoms would like a TV in their bedroom?” I thought that was great. Erm, yes DH, yes.

Cx2 – not cool on being woken up unnecessarily. Very annoying.

CA – I could buy nyquill regular just not nyquill D. No idea what the difference is, and with my substance history I am not taking nyquill. Glad your boob is getting better.

Spike – watch that blood sugar. Know on relying on someone who is busy for running – I just do it myself. I would be able to run about 8m per week if I did it when DH was home. Cold is clearing already.

Shelby – can’t believe how much you achieve in one day – and add those all up together. You really amaze me.

Sorry, I'm gonna be a jerk and not do personals.  To whoever asked, we're going to Ft Meyers...  next wed morning!!  YAY, I'm going to go through my baby clothes bins to find O some summer clothes
