We're riding out the trailing storms from this hurricane. So much rain and it's blowing against the windows so it's loud. All the kids are sleeping through though so that's good. My H is asleep, too because he can sleep through anything. I want to sleep more!
DoesItComeInPink sorry you're having a rough day! DD2's still has a high fever so we are alternating Tylenol and Motrin because after about 3 hours, it's back up to 103. She fell back asleep around 4:30 before I could give her Motrin and she's still sleeping but burning up. We were supposed to go to ikea this weekend but will have to see how she is doing. Hope everyone has a great holiday weekend!

We are on the tail end of the hurricane weather right now. All surrounding schools, and even the tech school, closed today but not us..grrr!
My dad, who I am estranged from (my choice), reached out to me yesterday for the first time in over 2 years. I really can't decide how I want to handle it. He's just not a good person and not someone I want in my life, so I see no reason to let him into EG's life.
obscurereference, glad you guys survived the storm. Hope you get caught up on sleep this weekend!
Aww poor DD, baylorbear, I'm sorry she's still sick. Hopefully her fever breaks soon and you guys can get out & enjoy the holiday weekend!
thatgirlrachel, boo for your school not closing and for your dad turning up. My opinion is you have to do what feels right for you and your family, and you need to protect EG, and if that means keeping him at bay then so be it. But I know how tough decisions like that are when it's family. Hugs.
C slept late enough this morning that I was able to get a shower in and dry my hair before he woke up. I love when that happens! We have his 9 month appt this afternoon and then a nanny interview, so MH will be coming home around lunchtime. So excited to start the long weekend early!

Ok I have a work question. I feel like my H and one of his coworkers are being borderline harassed at his job but I'm not sure if I'm overreacting.
He works for a small company and is in a department of 5 people including his boss. There is one guy that is senior to him and a pay grade above him but my H doesn't report to him. This guy repeatedly talks shit about my H's appearance. I'm not sure what exactly, H wears company dress code to work everyday. And it's a casual code.
A couple days ago this senior guy told my H's coworker that half this stuff wouldn't fly and that if he were in charge, he'd fire the whole department and bring his own people in. This was a reaction to overhearing a conversation my H was having with his coworker.
He's just constantly saying nasty things to everyone in the department. Thoughts? Is he just a jerk? Ignore?

As an HR person I would suggest that while not sure the level of clout the guy has but his behavior is inappropriate whether or not it is harassing. Harassing would be a protected characteristic concern, he is really just being an ass. I would suggest your husband speak to his boss or HR and let them know what is going on. Or he could sit down with the guy and tell him to knock it off. The guy is being a bully and needs to shut up. Sometimes going toe to toe with these types get them to shut their mouths. He can be polite but tell him it isn't his issue and if he wants to discuss further your husband is happy to with higher up/HR.
If there is concern that this guy is targeting your husband based on a protected characteristic then it's a whole other ballgame and suggest going to HR.
I deal with a lot of boundary pushers and tend to find exposing their behavior keeps them in check - at least for a short amount of time. They are who they are and struggle not pushing.

Emma and I both have a bit of a cold so her sleep, with that and I think we are early into the 9 month sleep regression (she always seems to trend early on these things) nights have been worse with her. Just a lot of crying out, movement, and eating.
I feel crappy but it could be worse! Popping my vitamin C and dealing.
Glad you guys in the hurricane path are doing okay! In my thoughts! We are only getting some light rain and cooler temps (thank goodness)!
No plans this weekend, going to ride my amazing horse, and do some cleaning and just kick this cold.
I really need to go to target, but I'm trying to decide if I feel like packing E up and bringing her, or waiting until my mom gets home around and leaving E with her then stopping by target on my way to school. At this point it's almost noon, so I'll probably just wait it out.
We're going to the season opener for SU football tonight. We got season tickets with a group of friends, so it should be a lot of fun!
thatgirlrachel, I'm sorry about your dad. I agree that you need to do what feels right for your family, even if that means not letting him into EG's life. Big hugs

Thanks for the response evenkeeled. This guy has been so obnoxious ever since a friend of his left the company for another job. He used to be fine so who knows what's up with him. It's so frustrating.

We had another rough night last night. R is having a really hard with these new teeth. F had a hard time with these too but he was much older when he got them. We had two long wake ups last night. I gave him ibuprofen before he went to sleep so I'm hoping it helps tonight. I also ordered a new bottle of teething oil and it should be here tomorrow! Yay for fast shipping!

HelgaHuffle, hope tonight is better! Darn teeth! thatgirlrachel, sorry about your dad that's hard obscurereference, what a jerk and strange thing to harp on with the clothing. I'm sorry your dh has to deal with that.
I ended up taking dd to the dr for the bottle refusing and constipation. I got some good feedback and we have a game plan to work on for the long weekend.

Hobs has been screaming since he got home from DC. He's driving us crazy. I know his ears hurt but now everyone's ears hurt. as soon as he goes to sleep its beer time!! Please go to sleep I'm ready for a drink!!
Well DH took the news of my car much better than expected. I got it in today because I just had a feeling I wanted to make sure it was safe to be driving. Looks like I will need a new drive shaft and it is not safe to drive. Aye! The car is not even 4 years old and has 25k miles. I have no idea how that happened. We are doing a happy dance that we got the extended warranty right now. Covers a loaner car too. We might get it back by next weekend. Hopefully this does the trick. We are kind of perplexed that the whole drive shaft needs to be replaced- but it's a hybrid so maybe the have to replace the whole thing to fix the part that's needed?
And two hours later Margs is still awake. It's almost 9 pm- come on Margs! salemkitty maybe you are right about it being a skill. Girl is working on standing like nobody's business right now. Please let her sleep ok tonight!!
Ok, and a TMI funny for you guys. I found out today that I have HFM sores on my butt. I have a huge one in my butt crack and it hurts so bad. HFM can suck it!!

Hobs is trying to stand too! And he is pissed about it. I keep thinking damn if this is how he acts now what is he going to do when he has to learn fractions...

You poor thing! How long does HFM usually take to run its course?

A week or so? I have a bunch on my stomach that still haven't scabbed.
