Munro is one of those brands that I hear a lot about as being super comfortable and well made — and this Josie flat looks really stylish as well. I love the teeny tiny wedge heel (1.25″ high), and the three colors it comes in. As always, a sale never hurts: the shoe was $184, but is now marked to $99 — available in five widths, sizes 4.5-11.5.

Ladies, we just found out our dog has a very aggressive form of cancer (prognosis: 1-3 months). She is young and otherwise healthy and this is a complete shock. I could really use some internet hugs today. Any advice on holding it together at work, or dealing with this more generally?
Any thoughts on doulas and childbirth classes? Or recommendations in the DC area? Delivering at GW with MFA.
Our daughter is ~20 months and for the first time is developing separation anxiety. We just moved, and she’s got a much different childcare arrangement (was Daycare A 4 days/week, home with me on Mondays). Now she’s Daycare B T, Thurs, Friday and babysitter Monday/Wednesday (daycare doesn’t have availability yet). She did great for the first few weeks in the new house, but now daycare drop-offs are just awful. She gets nervous halfway to the classroom because IT MEANS MOM WILL LEAVE. She has a full on meltdown that starts wtih a lip tremble, escalates to a death grip on my leg, and finishes with her teachers having to PRY her off me and try to comfort her for 15-20 minutes every morning. We have tried short goodbyes, long goodbyes, the works…
At home, she’s been a fantastic sleeper since she was born. She’s in an adult bed and has been in one for about a month. Just this week, she screams bloody murder and BOLTS out of bed and out the door whenever the last parent in the room says good night. She’s not dodging bed time, she wants one of us in there with her. She instantly puts her head on the pillow and falls asleep within 10 minutes (no playing, talking, begging for stories–nothing) if someone is in the room with her. We are discovering that “in the room” can be “sitting on the floor across the room”– somone just needs to be there. If we don’t do this, she stays up for HOURS (normally asleep no later than 8:15, and both nights we tried to “hold firm,” and keep tucking her back in and leaving, she was up until 11pm when we finally gave up and stayed in the room. fell immediately asleep.)
Advice? I sthis something we just muddle through (placate her at night, keep on keeping on at daycare until it passes)? Should we be doing things differently? I am 100% holding firm on no-toddler-in-mommy’s bed, and we very rarely if ever camp out in her room (we did this a few times about 6 months ago when she had a nasty chest cold and needed middle of the night nebulizing)–and if we do it’s on the floor, not in her bed.
Talk me down, ladies. My husband is out of town for work this week, and I took the day off, so neither of us was in the office earlier today when daycare called to tell us that 2-year-old “bumped his head while playing but is fine. It’s our policy to inform parents immediately of any head injury, no matter how minor,” and I got a snarky e-mail about it instead. When they got through to my husband via cell phone, apparently they chastised him that we hadn’t informed daycare he will be traveling this week, and that our emergency contact information did not enable them to reach us immediately. I slept through my cell phone ringing because I am exhausted from dealing with a petulant 2 year old all week who won’t sleep because he misses daddy. I don’t care whether my son bumped his head and is fine, tell me when I pick him up. I am super annoyed at the expectation that someone should be instantly available by phone, and that I have to inform daycare in writing/e-mail about my household logistics. If it’s an emergency, call 911, if it’s not, the half hour delay is not a big deal. If it’s an FYI and you don’t need me to actually do anything, why are you even bothering me? I know they’re just doing their job and probably following state regulations, but my well of patience is dry and I’m going to snap at someone if they scold me about this when I pick my son up this afternoon.
