DoesItComeInPink I hear you! Flaxseed has been helping me the most right now.
inthewoods it finally feels like fall might be around the corner today! I hope it's nicer in your part of VA too
Home with Margs today. Really hope I can send her to daycare tomorrow because my fiscal year end personal evaluation is due tomorrow (which is used to negotiate any raise I get in December). Eep. Doesn't help that I feel crappy at my job lately and I've had maybe a handful of weeks this year that I've been in the office 5 days of the week. And maternity leave, and Chris.
Enough of that. I'm actually feeling pretty decent today, best spirits I've been in this week! Margs is napping, I've showered, I'm eating a bowl of coconut milk ice cream for breakfast with my HOT coffee. I'll take it!
geners such big hugs. I mean totally different, but I know that shock and terror of not knowing whether they are going to die or live. So scary. I'm glad he's able to be home so quickly. Is a rehab program the next step?

Definitely some sort of rehab. He was in an inpatient facility on a voluntary basis up through last week, at which point he decided he was ready to move to a halfway house which was the next step in his recovery plan. He was allowed to work again, and so was getting paid in cash. The temptation was just too great. He clearly wasn't ready to be out on his own like that. We don't think that facility, or the one he was in prior to that, will allow him back so the search begins again for somewhere he can go.
ETA he has burned a lot of bridges with rehabs in the area over the years. I am hoping that since he actually overdosed, one will let him in. He is also being cited for various offenses related to last night so I am holding out hope that he will wind up in something court-ordered where he can't just leave.
geners, I am so sorry again that you are going through this. Addiction is such a difficult thing to deal with. Would it be possible to send him somewhere outside of the area for rehab? I know sometimes just removing yourself from the triggers helps regain focus on the end goal. At any rate, big hugs for you and your family.
Because I know everyone has been waiting on the edge of their seat for a daycare update...I spoke with the director today. We decided that starting Oct. 3rd M will be full-time in the toddler room. He will do some visits next week. The following week we are going to be in Texas so I figured it would be easier if when we returned he just started in the new room. I am much more comfortable now that there is a plan in place. Plus, I really think he will thrive being in a room with older kids rather than primarily babies.
I am having a hard time at work. There have been a ton of changes, and most not for the better, since I returned from maternity leave. I am 1.5 months away from being here 5 years and it makes me really sad to think about leaving but I am not sure if I can continue if it stays the way it currently is. At the same time, I can't even imagine starting all over at a new job. Ugh.
And because the above paragraph is sad and whiny, I am super excited that we are taking M to his first parade this weekend. I have no idea if he'll even care but I think he'll enjoy all of the sights and sounds. I hope anyway.
geners huge ::hugs:: to you. I'm sorry you had such a devastating scare and I really hope he is able to be in a program that will be more difficult to leave. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.

Tmi maybe: So I'm pretty sure I have some sort of infection of the lady parts. Not a yeast infection. BV maybe? Ugh ugh ugh. I know it's common but I'm dreading a Dr visit. So embarrassing. I hate visits about lady parts when not pregnant.
geners I am very sad for your brother and family. These types of stories really tug at my heart since becoming a mom. I hope your mom is okay, I can't imagine finding my son like that
HelgaHuffle, what the eff, on top of everything else? Umpff. Do you think it could be a yeast infection or something else related? I know yeast would be antibiotics, but something like that maybe.

I know! It's too much! I don't think it's yeast infection. I've had plenty of those. There's no itching. I'm thinking it's probably a bacterial infection.
I've been having a good day going through tons of pictures for my mom's service tomorrow. So many good memories. Some make me teary but just so much love from the memories and pictures. I'm enjoying it. As much as I can be anyways. Also DD is cutting another tooth so she's been so clingy and fussy poor thing. I hope she does ok tomorrow though.

This board really is having a rough go of it.
geners That sounds unbelievably terrifying. I hope he can get the help he needs moving forward. Serious drug use is one of my biggest fears and I'm constantly trying to figure out how we'll handle it in the future. It's so scary now.
RoLoMa I'm glad you have a plan for your almost-toddler! Sorry about the work situation.
I am generally having a crappy couple days. I have been fighting with my mom about the same shit we've fought about since the beginning of time and it's getting old. My period is a no-show for the time being so I was terrified that I was pregnant (yes, I want another but I was terrified for some reason) so I tested today and BFN. I was actually quite relieved so that's confusing me and making me emotional which hopefully is a sign that my period is coming soon.
The baby has been a mess for the last few days which of course affects my wish for another. I wish her teeth would just get a move on.
Oh. And we're all getting sick. Again. I can't believe it. Sometimes I hate school.
But all my problems seem small now. Thanks for letting me vent.
I'm still sick and everyone in my office has a home remedy. I'm seriously looking forward to my trip in a week. I'm meeting a friend (we plan our hotel stays together) and I will just generally be me for a bit. I'll miss DH and A, but I'm hoping to take a little time to just focus on me and my career. And sleep. And eat a full meal. Big hugs to everyone!!
For about a week now M has been refusing the last 1/2 ounce or so of his bottles at daycare. We figured out that he wanted his table food and not the bottle. So today we decided to try to give him his milk in a sippy cup instead. This morning he took 2oz from the cup and then drank the other 2 from his bottle. Fast forward to his afternoon bottle and he drank all 4oz from his sippy. So I guess he just weaned himself off of bottles. I don't know how to feel about this. Slow down kid!
