4 weeks....i hate the 4 week mark. OK well "hate" is a strong word but I am truly annoyed by 4 weeks. And I will explain why. You traditionally think of a month as 4 weeks...and we all know it isn't. SOOOO I get really annoyed that we hit the one month mark and then two days later- it's the 4 week mark. It feels like you are taking a step back

So to that I say: Boo to You 4 week mark

On another note- my child is driving me insane. She won't eat. At all! She won't eat breakfast or dinner and her lunch box has been coming home with everything in it. She's drinking fluids but not eating. This morning I got her to have a drinkable yogurt before school. She wouldn't touch anything else I offered her. Anyone else's kiddo go through a stage of this??? This morning I got so frustrated that I told her that she was going to wear her body down and get sick and she would be sick for her bday surprise. Of course she burst into tears. Bad mommy

BOO to you 4 week mark!

Awww! Poor Aisling. Is it just her not wanting to eat or does it have to do with her being sick last week??

Which pic??? The sweet pic of my DD or the booze

Well, I was referring to your cute DD but the booze pic works for me too . . . especially this morning.

Counting down is weird. The ticker I did on here says month, weeks and days but then our countdown chain at home is in days. I think I prefer counting down days but I am too lazy to change my ticker!

Wow - not eating at all! Jordan is very picky and goes through various food phases but she has never totally refused to eat. Is there something she really likes that you can use to get her to eat? Like, no tv time until you eat this slice of cheese or something like that? As for lunch, Jordan's was coming home partially eaten (and I don't send much). The problem is she is a slow eater and they are busy socializing and then they hurry through lunch to get to their after lunch recess. So I told her if she did not eat more of her lunch that I was telling the teacher that she was not allowed to go to after lunch recess with the other kids (which I am sure they would never do but she doesn't know that). Good luck!

Thanks! I'm going to try to start the TR soon. I need to get moving on it. I hate being back to the real world

I don't know what her deal is...hoping that it's just a phase. She is also getting the final two 6 year molars so I'm hoping it partly that. She did eat lunch at school today so that's a start At Aisling's school, they do recess BEFORE lunch (weird right???) so I can't threaten that one. I did try taking away tv and that didn't work. I'm trying pasta tonight. She loves pasta...if she doesn't eat that- I know something is wrong!

Can't wait...don't forget to post the link!

Anyone know where I can get a good deal on bubble wrap??? I need a TON of it. I'll be wrapping Aisling in it for the next 4 weeks. She got hit in the head with a door today. Big egg over her right eye and a nice bruise!

 

[Dreamer & Wisher]

Oooh Jordan is a peanut huh? Aisling is a giant. My little premmie no more She's almost 49 inches!



They are sneaky...and you know I'm checking my flights daily seeing if I can get a little more

Wow she is tall. My 8 year-old is that tall.

First the picture of the day....

And Second....I got the go ahead from the Hubby to go to WDW for my birthday!

Grey Goose Slushies...here I come!

Excellent pictures! and congratulations on the birthday trip. DH and I have Birthdays near Memorial Day and I don't think I would be happy in WDW near Memorial Day weekend. Too crowded.

Boo to You Too~!
Sorry she isn't eating, that can be worrisome. I never make my kids eat. Sometimes DD goes through phases like that. She wouldn't eat hardly anything on our last trip in January. I just offer healthy foods and then let them choose how much. I do limit their sweets and juice. My son eats and eats and eats, and he is so thin. . . I think he gets that from his dad.

Ouch! Poor thing. I hope it heals quickly.

We normally limit sweets and juice (she doesn't get dessert after dinner unless it's a special occasion anyway)....but this week, I even tried bribing her with strawberry shortcake if she would just eat. NOPE! But she ate the pasta tonight. Maybe the phase is coming to an end?!?! She's so big for a 5 year old that I don't worry so much about her wasting away to nothing but I do worry about her losing energy!

I just got a Ding fare! (There is some benefit to being on the computer at 10pm!!!). My airfare went down another $51 bringing my credit to $141 This trip only costs us $187/person so my airfare for January might only cost about $50!!!

We never fly anywhere so what exactly is a Ding fare?

Southwest Airlines has this thing called a "Ding" (it literally makes a ding sound) that you download onto your computer. It will notify you of a very brief sale (usually only for a couple of hours). The Ding is very specific (for instance this one was Manchester to Orlando, weekday travel in October, and out of the 8-10 flights a day that they offer...you only had two to chose from) But the planets all alligned because 1) I was on the computer when it dinged, 2) we are flying on a Thursday and a Tuesday, 3) AND our original flight times happened to be the random ones that were eligible

It REALLY burns a hole in your pocket!!!!! But this will be three trips and on the previous two I got 40% off the hotel so it was definitely worth it.

 

[Tnkrbelle565]

Yup and it made me feel better because Randy kept bugging me to book it last night...he thinks I'll think better of spending the money and change my mind. But see, thank goodness I didn't book it last night!

How does one get hit in the head with a door??

DING! Awesome!!

DING! Awesome!!

She was walking to the sinks in the bathroom and another kid came out of the stall and pushed the door into Aisling's face! Aisling being Aisling was more worried about the other kid because I guess she was crying that she had hurt Aisling!
