Photobucket is being weird

[stevensmom]

it's a sweatpants kind of day. So wish I could be "one of those moms" that takes their kid to school in full out jammies. But I'm not. Sweats will have to do.

I will try and finish all the rest of the smittens today.

Steven's on the couch watching cat in the hat with me.

I am totally one of those moms, but only because I do not have to get out of the car. I wear my sweatpants almost every morning.

I don't get out of the car either in the morning for drop off, but I have to get out at pick up time. Sweats are totally fine.

Yeah so am I. 6 hours of total torture, then about 12 hours of overall bluck and it was gone. #1 definitely bounced back faster than any of us because he played hockey last night and was feeling fine and he didn't get it until about 10pm Monday night. He is never sick long though. He's beat some flues in 4 hours before. To be that healthy again.

Another bonus of homeschooling, you don't have to worry about what you are wearing But since DH doesn't want him wearing pajamas to school I have to get dressed too. #1 is wearing shorts and a long sleeve shirt today. His excuse, I couldn't find any pants which can't be right but whatever.

I was just going to say that's a benefit of homeschooling! No drive, no getting out, I can "teach" in whatever. I don't own pajamas though, read into that what you will

Kp doesn't usually do a lot for sales that I have seen. Usually when they discount something it is being discontinued except for their 20% off needle sets which happens like once or twice a year. Last year they had a "huge" sale and all it was were colors that they were getting rid of. I would just order now. There is still 3 weeks before Black Friday and you could need more by that time!!

Most often it's a deep clearance on sale yarns. The normal book sales and swift sales are often included but I haven't seen the % go higher than you normally see it. Karyn, one of my friends from Pixie's DDC makes adorable waldorf dolls and sometimes has me spin the hair for her, I traded her hair for a finished head because her dolls have the cutest faces. The bonus will be that with hers here, if I ever do another one (hahahaha) I can use it for a guide so I don't end up with a nose coming out of the forehead or eyes where ears would normally be

Or I could have just read the next post and agreed with Mindy.

Interesting read referred by my MWs this morning:
http://www.oregonlive.com/health/ind...early_bir.html

The hospital I worked for is the one that they mentioned had the steepest decline, and I'm so not surprised. Their OB office/rotating OB staff was terrible. I started care with them and transferred out for both babies (since I worked there my insurance defaulted to there and I had to justify care through someone different, which took time). They were all about inducing for big babies, my first visit for my first baby the OB figured out the EDD, and told me the induction date range

Um, Black Friday is next week. I don't know why everyone thinks it is so far away DS's teacher kept saying it was the 29th too. I'm looking forward to the short week next week.
