Weary Wednesday

[euphony]

My son is suddenly very interested in sticking his finger up my nose. I am not on board with this hobby.

What you up to?

My boob is on fire. I fully weaned last weekend and haven't had any issues we were down to one nursing session for just a few minutes so I thought I was in the clear but holy shit ouch. I'm going to use hot compresses when I get home and see if that helps if not I'm going to have to go in I guess. DH left for work at 5:30 this morning and won't be home again until tomorrow at 6. I won't complain since I know a lot of you mommies are looking at way longer stretches. I don't mind really but DS started last night with I want my daddy. It's hard when they notice that the other parent isn't there.

I still can't hear out of my left ear, and have very partial senses of taste and smell back. I feel like I'm losing my mind. I only have one more day of antibiotics, and I don't feel like this ear/sinus infection is clearing up anytime soon. I feel like I'm living in a pressurized bubble.

I was so excited to get my new planner and start decking it out today- but alas- I'm home with a pukey boy and a baby that won't sit still for a minute!
Maybe during a nap time.

Wow, rough Wednesday, ladies!

txshep, that would drive me bonkers.
Fearsy, Puppy pad?

Rough night. Again. Previous strategies for sleep are not working. And crap I forgot to brush her teeth this morning.

He has been doing that with nose/ears for some time now but now he is obsessed with touching my eyeballs

Anna is sucking on my toes right now, so freaking weird. She used to suck on my nose ... so this is better?

Val likes to claw the inside of my nose. I have had a few good nosebleeds the past few weeks.

It's hot here, like muggy & hot for the next 3 days. Val was up at 4:45 she took a decent nap but is a rather cranky girl. I do believe we have an 8th tooth on the way. We tried to have fun by the pool but she was only happy when I gave her a Popsicle. So now just counting down the minutes to her next nap after a nice dose of Advil for her.

My SIL just got admitted to hospital! She's 5cm!!!!!! I can't wait to find out if it's a new niece or nephew!

Why is my new house now estimated to be done in Nov? NOVEMBER. The entire outside is done, it's insulated, and ready for drywall/interior work. What the hell is going to take 4 months?! Are they hand sculpting our toilets or something?

I thought my child was the only one obsessed with shoving his fingers up my nose or into my mouth. Guess not.

FYI there is a massive planner thread on Parenting and I'm sure they would love it if you'd join them.

That's the thread that got me into trouble.

WTF? Ours is framed, plumbing and electrical done. I have a "pre drywall walk through" tomorrow. Our estimated move in is mid September to early October!

That seems crazy long. Maybe since they screwed so much up with your original estimate they are just giving themselves extra time just in case? Hopefully it will be much sooner than that. 

Also if I remember correctly you are on a Z-pak for your ear infection. If so those antibiotics stay in your system for 2 weeks even once you stop taking them. If your ear still feels really clogged you might try a trick to open your eustachian tube. If you lay back and squirt Afrin (or a similar nose spray) in the nostril of the affected ear and let the fluid run down the back of your throat, it will sometimes open the tube and release the pressure. It's sounds kinds crazy, but it really does work.

We're ready for our pre-drywall walk through too! I think the contractor is just afraid of me. Haha

I just bought Afrin today! I am absolutely going to try this. Thank you!! I keep expecting to wake up with a clear ear, and it's so disappointing!

I realized that I left Layla's bedroom window open and it just started storming. I snuck in, and as soon as I started closing it she bolted up and sat in bed and looked at me. And then laid back down and went to sleep without making a sound.

This feels like winning the lottery.

Mine tries to put his whole mouth over my eyeball like he is trying to eat it. I say "like he is" but I am not so sure he isn't.

Last night when I pot Z to bed, I noticed that the plug behind his crib wasn't covered (his mattress covered it when we put all the covers in originally, but we just love red his mattress). I had visions of him waking up over night and driving his finger on it. So I tried to sneakily put one on. Didn't work and I woke him up. Thankfully he did a quick nurse, and went back down.
