Diaper Swappers

lemurmommies · 03-02-2013, 03:38 PM

I got the Smitten Kitchen Cookbook. So many good recipes!

And shopping for fluff was fun, though the store owner got annoyed because I was giving my opinion about diapers before she was able to give her "diaper talk". Dude. They asked me to meet them at the shop because they wanted to know what works for me AND I am lending them a bunch of my stash. Maybe she was also ticked that they were going to use some of my diapers instead of buying from her? Dunno.

Then they decide to pile on, and instead of sneaking out at 9pm to eat dinner and finish up Downton Abbey I wind up pinned down and pass out. DH comes home at midnight, freaks out because every light in the house is on except our bedroom and all the rooms are empty

. So he woke me up trying to find us. Then Ian woke up at 3am because he wet the bed. :headbang: And after that is rectified he takes 90 to settle and go back to sleep. Then the girls wake up at 7am and have a screaming match in the bathroom about who gets to use the toilet first (never mind there are TWO toilets on the top floor). Then Ian gets up an hour later after snoring loudly all morning. Then DH comes in and wants to snuggle, and I hit him with a pillow and go back to sleep. Until 9am, when everyone is STARVING and apparently cannot fend for themselves.

Anyway, that was my morning.

Since then we have unearthed the photo albums, been to the library, had a playdate, I went to Costco, and DH and Rosie sold GS cookies in the freezing temps between the Trader Joes and the Starbucks for two hours. They are now all in the basement playing the Monopoly Wii game they got at the library and Bad Piggies on the Nook. I made a giant pot of pasta last night so I wouldn't have to cook tonight. Good call.

That tops Fynn shouting "Mummy I done!" at 6:30am...Me half opening my eyes to see all the lights are on from the light streaming into the bedroom from the gap under the door. Them all wanting breakfast...Nutella bread. Then wanting a second breakfast of rice pudding an hour or so later. Heiner then coming home too wiped out to even think....I sent him straight to the shower; he looked NASTY! And then Fynn and I went to bed

Hopefully your tummy flu symptoms have passed?

Kari, how did Jack do in the game?

Mel, I would LOVE any excuse to shop for diapers again. For someone else, LOL. Just feel of the itty bitty fluff. Sigh. What kind of cookbook?

Janine, I have never heard of poached ribs. I am intrigued. I would eat ribs of about any animal, LOL. They are my favorite cut of meat.

They were ok I was just missing the yummy sticky sauce. They were good but now I'm craving real ribs.

What's in the book? The cover looked good. Love the new haircut....I've seen similar on some of the younger and more trendy sorts here. I'm not cool enough for that.

Stuff him and his being miffed...he probably didn't have a clue anyway.

I'm sure that was part of it Mel. And you stole her thunder, LOL.

When I dug out all the photo albums, I found a binder full of indian recipe printouts. I don't remember doing it, or receiving it. It is likely 15yo, because it was mixed in with the wedding planning stuff (yeah, IDK why I kept all that, LOL) I now want to cook a bunch of stinky stuff the kids won't eat and that will likely turn my insides out.

Sigh. I suppose I should feed the kids or something.

At 9 this morning my parents gave us $50 told us to go have a nice lunch and a movie and not return until after 6

jwjbbrown · 03-02-2013, 04:10 PM

So then we got the car washed, got gas, got rearended (no damage for us, pretty bad bumper crash for us) had a nice lunch, found two new bras for me, wandered around Target, took a walk, now waiting for the movie to start.

cherylchoo · 03-02-2013, 04:11 PM

That is awesome Jen. When my parents were here, they did the same thing. We were so thrilled, usually between tickets and babysitter it costs us $80 or more to go to the movies. Only we went to Lowes and bought baseboards instead of Target, because we could do it without kids in the car.
