Random, with green, geothermal and gift basket
16th December 2008
- Does anyone else agree the Tim Hortons drive thru should be reserved for pregnant women, those with kids in the car, the elderly and the disabled? Kind of like a “women and children first” thing? Because do you, chain-smoking cell-phone chatting man in a suit all by himself in the car, really need to clog up the line? Obviously you’re capable, what with your multi-tasking ways. And you’re one more unnecessary car between me and a much-needed tea, which I could not secure (nor a shower) because of how long it takes to stuff two squirming kids into winter gear and get out of the house
- Where in the world does babies’ green poop comes from? The yellow-brown shade I can relate to, but green? I know it’s normal, but each time I open Alice’s diaper and see those vibrant chunks, it makes me eye her suspiciously
- It’s taking me days and days of working in snippets, but I’m sending out a December newsletter this week. It’s going to include a 15%-off coupon for a neat new and local online children’s clothing resale store started by a Whitby mom
- We moved Alice into her room Sunday night. It was so nice to get our bedroom back, so we can brush our teeth with the door open, and turn the news on before bed. We kept her in so long for fear she’d wake up Lucy. But two nights in, and all is well — last night she only woke up once to eat, giving us two four-hour blocks of sleep…I’m a new woman
- Our neighbours across the road are getting geothermal heating put in, so have a giant drill in the backyard digging and digging and digging. The floor in here is rumbling, and there’s a constant hum outside
- “Is it Christmas Eve yet, Mum-Mum?” asks Lucy at every. single. meal. together. Jen O. has a hilarious post about this on My Tornado Alley
- Speaking of Lucy, today is her last day at Julia’s until Jan. 5, as our provider shuts down the two weeks of school holidays
- Tomorrow is the Durham Mom’s Night Out cookie and treat exchange, and I’m terribly excited to see everyone and come home with goodies. I’d planned to make caramel popcorn, but in the middle of the night started having second thoughts. Would you enjoy receiving a bag of that, even though it’s not a conventional cookie/treat?

I’ll take the caramel corn.
I bought a candy thermometer yesterday to make something special too!
Sounds good to me – but I know it won’t last ’til Christmas Eve. I’ll probably eat it at the restaurant
Just some info on the green poop. I know it’s odd that out of everything you had so say in this post, I was attracted to the green poop. Lol, don’t mind me!

I agree, green poop means too much foremilk usually. With Emma, in the earlier days, I tried offering the emptier breast first so she got the hindmilk. Sounds weird. Also letting her go too long between feeds would make that happen. It happens to us once every 3 weeks or so.
Good job ousting the kid! My hubs won’t let me until 1 year old but I’m going to try working on him after 6 months.
btw, Timmy’s is very NOT family friendly. The lack of diaper stations is positively third world.
I’m sure Carly would agree about the ‘family friendly’ Tim Hortons, or lack thereoff .. I seem to recall a post about that a while ago…
All in all, I’ll stick with my Venti Cinnamon Dolce Latte. Pretentious, yes. Expensive, yes. Worth it, oh yeah baby. Tim’s coffee tends to be so bitter … disappointing because they used to have the best coffee.
