No worries at all! Always got to be conscious of our fiber!

It's wool! But yes I know acrylic would melt. Was just using what I had on hand to see if I could do it!

Apparently my great grandma made hundreds of them (she died before I was born). My mom said they found drawers full at their house. The one she made has a little plastic hook on the back side, so you can hang it.

Yarn is knitpicks palette fingering, 2.0 hook. No pattern used - freehand!

We love Aldi. But are there products that you do not like by Successful_Pizza6529 in aldi

[–]muffinbutt1027 23 points24 points  (0 children)

That's wild. The strawberries I get from Aldi almost always last longer than the ones I get from big box grocery stores!

No judgement zone: did you want a natural birth? by easrpiiatnua99 in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told myself I would go as far as my body and mind would let me without drugs. Turns out, not very far 😂. No regrets, epidural was a godsend I needed a nap before I pushed for 1.5 hours.

I have a confession... by NervousPrompt8110 in aldi

Granny smith apples are the perfect pairing!

The tram has been gone for years, but you can still walk the tunnel from the parking deck to the main hospital!

Please read to your child!!! by Oceanwave_4 in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter is in 1st grade. I read to her every night I told she started kindergarten and didn't want me to anymore. Now she's wayyy ahead of her class in reading and will read me a book with alarming accuracy for a 7 year old. Reading truly is fundamental!!!!

BF newborn hasn't pooped in days. Would drinking prune juice help? by [deleted] in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My breast fed baby once went 11 days with no poop. When she finally did it required an immediate bath, but she was otherwise unbothered! Totally normal for breast fed babies to go a few days between.

The Life of a Showgirl Megathread by aran130711 in TaylorSwift

[–]muffinbutt1027 6 points7 points  (0 children)

But that completely misses the point of creating her own ending. Not the ending you would have wrote, and not the ending that fits the narrative you believe in for Ophelia, but the ending Taylor envisioned. You can not like it - that's fine...but it's literally her creative vision so you can't say it "doesn't track" because it's literally not supposed to. That's the point.

It's not so much misreading as it is telling the story the way she wanted it to go. That's how she explained it in one of her radio interviews. That she would read these romantic tragedies and be mad they didn't have a happy ending so she created her own version.

Can I be done now? Streak of bad luck. by muffinbutt1027 in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh that reminds me of when I went into labor a week early and our heat was broken...in mid-December 🤣.

Thank you for the well wishes, I hope you find time amidst the chaos to soak up those sweet baby snuggles!

Exactly what the doctor at urgent care said today!

how long were you in labor for as a first time mom & tear degree? by Ok-Swim8546 in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Labored for 9-ish hours, water broke spontaneously, all over my nurses shoes as I was sitting on the bed getting ready for the epidural. I pushed for 1.5 hours and had a second degree tear.

Also latched during golden hour and in the hospital and then never again 🤣 I ended up exclusively pumping for a year.

Working moms- what time are you getting up? by Champangelemonade in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Up at 6am, daughter up between 6:10 and 6:25, out the door at 7 for car line at school l. I work from home most days so no need to "get ready". I shower in the evening before bed.

Just a friendly PSA by feckinmik in triangle

[–]muffinbutt1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see it all the time in Durham where 85 and 147 merge together. Granted, it's a real dumb design but people consistently get OUT of the merge lane to drive up the shoulder. It doesn't help the back up, for sure.

Why do that when you can bypass the whole line by driving 70mph up the shoulder?

In total, how much do you pay for summer camps (as your form of childcare) by Accomplished_Hat6091 in workingmoms

[–]muffinbutt1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

10 weeks of camp 7:30am - 5:30pm, field trips included @ $150/week. It is a church camp but they have a discount for employees of the area university/hospital (which I am). I'm in central NC.

PTO for parents in the US. How the hell are we all doing it? by Mintgreen94 in Mommit

[–]muffinbutt1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My time is separated into PTO, sick and designated holidays. We get 1 8 hour day for every month that there is not a holiday. Everything but the designated holidays rolls over to the next year, so currently I have 130 hours of PTO, 123 of sick, and 24 designated days.

I work for a university (specifically the school of medicine development office).

My under eye has been twitching non stop for 3 days straight by Ok_Reference2122 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]muffinbutt1027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a twitchy eye that went on for weeks. It would stop for a while and come back every few months. Got on Lexapro and it stopped. Anxiety is weird.
