It’s time for another edition of Tuesday Troubles. I’ve said it before, but this should be named “things i’m annoyed / confused / want to complain about”, however I couldn’t figure out how to make any of those into a snappy title, so Tuesday Troubles it is.
- Okay, so WB eats pouch food, which is fine and good, except he likes to hold the pouch himself. 70% of the time, this is fine and WB holds it correctly (aka up near the top) and everything’s great. But the other 30% of the time? Watch the eff out. He squeezes those pouches right in the middle and it makes the biggest fountain of whatever. Gets everywhere. So I want to know, is there some sort of pouch protector / holder thing? You know, like they have for juice boxes???
- Every once in a while I get these comments on my blog which I suspect are from the owners / employees of certain subscription box companies. It’s either this box is SO much better than that box or it’s non-stop gushing about a box. I mean if you want to say why your box is the best, I’m down with that you know? But at least identify yourself!
- L’s on Spring Break this week and sadly, we aren’t in Florida like it appears everyone else in Michigan is. Maybe next year? Anyway, I need some fun ideas of what we can do this week. Nothing like Chuck E. Cheese or anything equally germ infested. We are doing INSANE on staying healthy this winter (it was in the 30’s here yesterday, that’s still winter) and I’d like to keep it that way. So give me all your fabulous non-germy ideas!
- Because I *thought I had time* I delayed ordering a first birthday hat for WB. Oops. I kinda need it by next week and now that’s probably not happening. Looks like I am going to be delaying those smash the cake pictures unless this Etsy seller I am eyeing can come through for me!
- I don’t know why, but I am overly affected by the death of Shain from MTV’s Buckwild’s. Maybe it’s because he reminds me of B and his brothers (he has 4 brothers and 1 sister) and I could totally see them getting stuck muddin at 3am back in the day you know? So sad.
- And in a totally different direction, I will leave you with my annoyance at April Fool’s Day pranks. Listen, I can totally take a joke, but when Birchbox posted on Sunday night that they were announcing a new box, I was SO excited. Like OMGICANTSLEEP excited. And then I get the e-mail that they are launching Birchbox Boxes and was so sad it was just a joke. Don’t mess with my subscription boxes!
That’s it from here for now! What’s troubling you today?
I was checking every single media outlet yesterday ALL day to find out what happened to Shain. So sad and senseless. He was definitely too young to die. Poor kid!
I’m so glad April Fool’s Day is over! My little sister pranked my poor mom all day. My dad showed her how to hook up the sink so when my mom went to turn on the water to do dishes, the spayer went off instead and got her soaked. I had to drive over to her house before work this morning because my sister changed her phone to Spanish and she couldn’t figure out how to change it back!
I haven?t given Nicholas the pouches ever for that reason. I?m afraid of a fountain. I was also fooled by birch box.
I was trying to figure out things to do as well, so far…
1. Our city (Farmington Hills) indoor pool is not having classes, but is having open swim times…and it’s a heated pool…so sort of Florida like.
2. I hear really good things about the newly revamped Michigan Science Center in Detroit: http://www.mi-sci.org/visit-us/
3. If it gets warm AT ALL we are heading to the zoo…more animals are out and about this time of year
That’s all I’ve got so far…hope it helps.
For some reason Shains death is really have an effect on me. I really liked that show, and him. S sad 🙁 🙁 🙁
I felt so bad for that poor kid from MTV. How horrible! So so so so sad.
Same thing happens when Mackenzie has a pouch. I get so annoyed! You should make something that solves the problem. 🙂
Enjoy spring break! 🙂
Haha…April Fool’s Day is kind of stupid. Zoya did a funny one though….grassy nails that grows grass on your nails. Weird and funny at the same time.
I always get the most fabulous bday party ideas at the 11th hour and end up doing a sad version of the idea because the idea is just that good but I can’t find everything I need for it to actually work! Argh!
I was also excited for the Birchbox “box subscription” until I clicked the e-mail. Darn you Birchbox! I’m sure no matter when you do WB smash cake photos they will turn out wonderful! Don’t stress. Could you go to the library or something? I know Shannon used to take KP for storytime.
Did you see the Julep MANven post on FB? I thought it was an April’s fools joke.. but aparently it’s not?
Well, your blog is so much better than the other blogs. 😛 I’ve been annoyed with every box I receive at some point. I loved the Birchbox Boxes prank – but I didn’t see their announcement on Sunday.
I love spring break around here….means it takes at least ten minutes less to get to and from work for the week. Might even have time to stop for coffee on the way in to work tomorrow! 🙂
What have I been missing? I’ve never seen or heard of juice box protector thingys!! Fill me in lady!
I hate April Fools Day. I’m so gullible when it comes to them. LOL When I first saw the BB post I thought they were just getting designer boxes to send out each month. That I would have loved but yeah no I’m not buying them. 😉
I’m not in Florida this week but I have many friends/clients down there. We are at my moms and the weather has been great. Of course I had a babysitter for the boys today and another one tomorrow so my mom and I can do some girlie shopping time. I’ve already spent way to much and I have one more mall to hit tomorrow.
Try these for the pouch problem – http://www.innobaby.com/NEW-Packin-SMART-Keepaa_c_40.html. We use them with regular juice/milk boxes (the rectangular ones and the square ones) as well as with Honest Kids juice pouches — I think they would help solve your issue with the food pouches, too, although my son is almost three so we haven’t used the holder for food pouches. Good luck!
I was annoyed with Birchbox too. That made me mad. I did utilize the code though, so now I can try the Benefit Fine One One and get more Serge Normant shampoo I’m addicted to. Not like I need more makeup, but that blush deodorant stick looks cool!
