Carbon monoxide detectors
Get them in your house and make sure they are working. Ours went off today. I changed the batteries and it went off again. Opened up a few windows while my husband loaded the kids in the car. Called the non emergency fire number while sitting in the driveway. They came out within minutes to test my house. Everything tested fine and it ended up being a faulty detector. We bought this house earlier this year and never checked the dates on our fire and carbon monoxide detector, which was incredibly stupid on my part. It was 17 years old... facking 17 years old!! I had a good friend, her mother and brother pass away from a fire in 2008. I have no excuse to be this irresponsible. Just came back from the store with 6 new fire alarms and 2 new carbon monoxide detectors. Learn from my mistakes, prevent a tragedy before it can happen. ?

I agree ek!! I have two bedrooms upstairs which will be my kids in the future. I don't feel comfortable putting them on a different floor with them being so young. My son wouldn't know what to do incase of a fire at this age. I had a family member side eye me because they are sharing a bedroom on your main floor until around age 5. It's right next to my husband and I's room, I feel safer that way.
We also have to have one in our home by law. I bought a new smoke detector and CO2 detector when we moved in. Everyone should also remember to change the batteries every 6 months. The fire department recommends changing batteries when we change clocks for daylight savings time. It’s an easy way to remember!
ETA: Glad it was just a faulty detector and not a serious emergency. A family of 6 died from CO2 poisoning in our town this fall. So heartbreaking & completely preventable.
ETA2: And the detectors DO expire so everyone should check their dates. The fire department comes in and talks to kids every year during fire prevention week in the fall. They scare the living daylights out of me every time. Ever seen how flammable furniture is and how fast a couch can become engulfed in flames? Scary af. Your family should also have a planned meeting point if you need to evacuate and you should practice evacuating with your kids as soon as they’re old enough!
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

IUI Monday!!
So today I went in for my routine bloodwork and ultrasound, and found out that I have three follicles at 17mm! Plus another two at 15mm. When leaving the clinic my FS said to take another dose of gonal-f and come back tomorrow to check to see how big they got and that we would do the iui on Wednesday. Well, after getting home, taking my gonal-f and going out to shovel snow (lol) I get a call saying that I am SURGING!!! I haven't ovulated on my own, or even come close to it in years...
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
When i still lived at home the carbon monoxide detectors went off so i called the fire department. I told them the levels were reading 50. They came but didn't believe me. Sure enough they tested and found out it was from the wood stove. Saved our lives.
