We finally listed our house today! It hit the MLS at like 4pm and we already had a showing tonight and two scheduled tomorrow!! I would love to get an offer this weekend and be done with this! ... But also I'm a little sad that it will be someone else's house.

Good luck. What are your plans for a new house?
We are under contract already on a new house, we close November 9. It's a lot more usable space, more bedrooms and bathrooms too. I'm excited!
My day hasn't been the greatest. Last night, I woke up with a stomach ache. I wouldn't let myself puke, so I just kind of tossed and turned the rest of the night. I didn't feel too much better in the morning, but I got all the kids ready to go to an indoor cafe and play. Just as we were heading out, DS2 got his finger smashed in the door, courtesy of his big brother (who was being a jerk today). We went to the doctor, and he thought it was probably broken but couldn't be sure. We have to wait a couple of days for the swelling to go down to see if he needs xrays. Meanwhile, he's wearing a splint that is already filthy. He does seem a lot better, though, so I'm hoping it means there's no fracture.
lovemyk, I hope everyone feels better soon! Croup sucks.
heartbot, I'm glad that DS seems to be doing better. RSV is pretty serious for little ones like ours. Hoping tomorrow he's even better!
Great news renbee! Is your new place close to where you currently live?
Yep, only a few minutes away! We love where we live, the school district is great, and it's equidistant for mh and I's commutes. Plus we are close to both our families.
renbee, good luck with the showings! Hopefully the timing works out perfectly with moving to your new house!
minae01, hope you're feeling better & that your S2's finger is fine. I bit my sister so hard once she still has a scar from it. I also pushed her and she fell into our pinball machine, hit a screw and it sliced open just above her eyebrow... DH's older brother broke DH's arm twice. #kids
lovemyk, how was the rest of the night? Tornados are pretty spooky, they can just be so fierce and come in and out so quickly.

We had back to back tornado warnings so we were down there for a good half hour! After that we were all good. It was super scary because it definitely came out of nowhere. The windows were rattling the wind was so strong. We literally *just* got part of our roof done this week after waiting two months for them to get to us, so we were sure our luck would be it would get ruined lol. Luckily no damage around us but some neighboring towns got it pretty bad!
And only 2 wake ups after that from L, which was a definite improvement from previous nights
I'm so glad your roof didn't get messed up! That would have been so depressing based on the timeline.
We turned the heat on here this morning. We were all freezing! It has turned into a beautiful day, though. Boys had swim lessons and diewting their nap, I have big plans to work out and do some prep for DS1's birthday party tomorrow.
I'm am trying to get the boys back on a schedule and it is total chaos. H wants to go back to grandma and grandpa's and M won't nap. DH is absolutely no help.
We have a wedding today. I have to be around my BIL. Ugh. Same guy that said FFing is lazy. Yesterday he told me that the doctors are ordering these tests for S because they can get the money from insurance. Um, no.
Definitely HFM. Poor guy is so miserable. And I feel terrible that I'm concerned about missing work but between my own surgery and maternity leave I've missed a lot. My husband is splitting the time with me but I feel guilty. Guilt at work or guilt at home.
So sorry abbeyd! You are doing great mamma - one day at a time.
I've never been a super active poster but feel like I'm never on here anymore. I creep every once in a while but that's about it. Anyway...heeeeeyyyyy!

All my sorries. Don't feel bad. You are doing the best you can, and you're doing a great job balancing work and family!
Busy weekend, trying to catch up. Sounds like there are lots of asshats around, sorry for the BIL drama buttercup, how did it go? Also... your LO, he has the best, most gigantic smile! I was terrified of a c-section, I would certainly NEVER consider that an easy way out.
DH was supposed to test out a chili recipe for a cook off in a couple weeks last night but at the last minute he was all "screw this" but he made pulled pork instead and that's about my favorite food ever. Everything was delicious. DD1 acted so well during the dinner, it was a great night.
We all sat around and watched the debate after dinner. Luckily we were all on the same team, it could have gotten awkward because it was a welcome dinner for a new guy who arrived here a couple weeks ago and it could have gotten uncomfortable!
Just to follow up on the discussion up thread about childbirth, have any of you guys seen the Knick (tv show)? It's about a NY hospital in the early 1900s. I didn't want to mention it before we had the LOs because it's pretty graphic but that show truly made me appreciate modern medicine.

Sounds like a show I would love! It's not on Amazon or Netflix thought!
Someone posted on a friends wall about how he didn't understand why Clinton supporters were so concerned about what Trump has SAID, when Clinton has DONE so much. I asked for a list, which he provided, and then gave a point-by-point rebuttal based on actual facts. Including the fact that Donald Trump has thrice been accused of sexual assault.
He then responded the fact that I'd written all that showed I don't have a firm grasp on reality.
DS slept so well Friday and Saturday night. Then Sunday night, and last night he decided to make up for it by being up most of the night. I am so tired.
It is like he can not get comfortable. He tosses and turns, and rolls, and is just never happy. He used to always sleep on his side, and I thought he would like tummy sleeping (now that he can get there himself). But he just gets upset wherever he ends up.
