K woke up with a swollen eye that was goopy. No fever and she's happy and energetic. I did call DC and tell them I think its viral (nothing you can really do for it if it is) but im going to try to get her into the pedi first thing. They don't open until 9am so most likely my workday is shot. Oh well. Best case scenario she is cleared for daycare and I get to have a half day alone to do nothing except binge Netflix on the couch

I grazed the house keepers car as I was pulling out of our driveway and I feel so bad and stupid. Why didn't I just ask her to move?!!

DS likes to scratch and punch me while he's nursing. He took a chunk of skin off my lip. I want to wear a sign letting people know I don't have a cold sore because that's what it looks like!

Ouch. K does that to me too, but mostly scratches my neck. I do get the occasional scratch across my cheek.

peachesncream , that is so horrible. Inhuman and scary. You've experienced a lot of tragedy this fall.

Thank you roseinbloom, you are so sweet.  I feel silly, none of it has impacted me directly, but having kids has made me so damn empathetic and vulnerable.  I typically don't watch the news because I can't let myself get caught up in it but for some reason that one just hit me straight in the heart.  I think of all my friends whose spouses are LEO and how easily it could have been one of them.  One of my friends is married to a cop who was one of the first on the scene and I thought about how terrifying it would be to have to go there when there is still a guy on the loose murdering cops (he was at the time, he has since been apprehended).


My heart just breaks so easily for everyone.

There is not enough coffee in the world today.

We made it 8 months, but A finally has her first cold. She's so stuffy it's hard for her to nurse and breathe at the same time. She bit me hard MOTN trying to figure out how to latch on and breathe at the same time. DS has the same cold and it's all nose for him so far too.

I do not like the new Tapatalk update and also the new way iPhone does email

Oh no hope that both feel better soon. And I hope your boob is OK too

I don't even drink coffee, but I'm tempted to start!

Have antibiotics made any of your kids not want to eat? J's appetite has been terrible and it's making me worry. I feel like motherhood is just one worry after the other lately

For those that are into period drama, British royalty, etc the crown on Netflix is fantastic. 2 episodes in and obsessed

Empathy isn't silly--it's one of the most amazing traits. ❤️

Chase started saying mama yesterday! Really it's more like "mam mum" but seeing as he had no consonants a couple days ago, it's pretty cool. It figures though, my mama's boy said Dada first so clearly Daddy's boy says mama first.

I had my first major Pinterest fail today. Pumpkin cinnamon rolls using cresent roll dough. Ick. I shoulda known; it was way too simple.

Hi ladies! I hope all is well with everyone! We're on our 3rd antibiotic for stupid ear infections in the past 4 weeks. Poor kid. Every poop diaper since Friday has been a huge mess. Got him some probiotics and am hoping that helps. He's on his 4th outfit of the day. So. Much. Poop.

Passing through. We've had a set back with foods and she reacted to something and we're back to at least 2-3 mucousy, nasty diapers a day. This started last Tuesday so hopefully it's almost run its course. Then we'll begin trying single fruits and veggies again.

B had a reaction to plums yesterday. It really freaked me out.

We started solids tonight! She was definitely ready and ate her avocado like a champ
