MLK Monday

[73jewels]

Thanks for the tag guster, I think he's doing a little better. He slept pretty well last night and is very congested now. Still coughing but not as often or as raspy.

Hope everyone else is on the mend as well!

DC is closed so I'm home with both kids. Sam decided to wake up at 5:30 so the iPad is currently parenting while Ben and I lounge

[trtlcrzy]

Morning! I think I'm in for a long day. H woke up in the early morning and threw up a couple times. I've been up for half hour and have thrown up once and I'm pretty sure we both have a GI bug. S seems ok so far and DH is working. On top of that we are in a winter weather advisory for freezing rain turning into snow.

Oh no!! Can anyone come over to help you while H is at work??

He's at work 😭

No, I don't want to subject anyone to this. H has been running to the potty to throw up and S is pretty good about playing on her own. We'll survive.

I'm sorry for your family's loss mwhipple77

Hugs to all the sick moms and littles!

Morning! We're on the road, hoping for a repeat of Friday. I've come down with a cold and completely lost my voice so that's fun--just hoping DH and the kiddos don't get it.

[slenle]

Morning! I have the day off but didn't know it until Friday afternoon. Dropped the kids at daycare and am sitting in piece drinking coffee. I think this is the 1st time since h was born that I've truly had a day to MYSELF. Dh is acting like it's a big deal that I'm not working but I just keep reminding him of how many times he's had entire weekends off with no worry.

[klongoria11]

Headed to an indoor playground in a few to meet a co-worker and her two kids. Cadence keeps asking if various school friends will be there.
Hoping I get a quiet moment today to finish reading this book. Idk what it is about it, but I just don't want to put it down. I think I have about 100 pages to go.

I'm still amazing at 3 year olds that know what to do for throwing up!
I hope it passes quickly for both of you and S stays healthy!

[Cherhorowitz]

MH was supposed to work today but he pulled his back out working out with his trainer today. So now he's working from home. He better be better by our trip on Thursday.

Me too! I didn't even show her, she just did it herself. The last time she was throwing up she was scared to do it in the toilet. Thanks!

Sitting in the dentist chair, waiting for the numbing to kick in for a filling. Then going to the little clinic because my ear infection is either back or never went away. Then I'm getting a tooth pulled later.. fun day off over here!

I think you win suckiest day today.

She definitely does.

How's C feeling today?

[cagoldi]

FX S doesn't have strep, lfigge.

Hope the bug is short-lived, trtlcrzy.

Sorry for your loss, @mwhipple.
We're home all day. Josie had a rough start to her night, but slept from 10-7. Her cough sounds better this morning, too. I'm hoping she'll rest up today. How are the other sickies, 73jewels, lfigge, and cagoldi?
I found a new almond cookie recipe I want to try, but otherwise, I got nothing.

X is doing better. I think we're dealing with the 4 MW because he's up forever when he wakes for a diaper and bottle. God help us.

Dude woke up with a cough...

He seems okay. He's having one last rest day, I'm letting him watch tv and wear sweats. I'll let him back into the public tomorrow. I'm trying not to be one of those jerk moms that spread the stomach flu like whoever gave it to us.

[tallblonde]

Morning. Grocery store for the boys and we walked to Rack to do some returns.

J had a diaper leak last night at 3am. He's already in size 6 nighttime diapers.. so I think we are going to try to have him try to pee before bedtime now and maybe that can help jump start potty training. I refuse to buy adult diapers for my 3 year old.

[trtlcrzy]

I got a script for zofran called in, so after S wakes from her nap I'm going to pray to all that is holy that I can make it to the pharmacy and back without a problem.

Yeah, it sucks staying home but it has to be done. Our only outings with the kids consist of walks around the block when they're sick.

[trtlcrzy]

And now DH is coming home because he's sick too.

[lahdeedah88]

So many sick kiddos and parents. I'm sorry to all those dealing with it. Hope everyone feels better soon! Add me to the list. I've had a productive cough for the last week and a half, but no congestion. So weird, but I'm over it!

Been at work all day. We're short about 2 people, so really busy. I'm about to be done with lunch, so back to the crazy. Counting down the hours to 530...

[73jewels]

Random Q- I want to get an 'ok to wake clock'. Sam has been waking earlier and earlier and he's a pretty good little rule follower so I think it would work well for him. Do any of you have one? Does it work well for you? Any recommendations?

It works great for us. Less sleeping in but more sleeping until the green light. Less calling for us in the middle of the night. I think it gives them a bit of control over the situation by knowing what "time" it is.

Which one do you have?

[JoeLies]

Hello! I'm off so I finally cleaned out Col's drawers and closet, then hid in the theater room at the gym for an 11 mile treadmill run, went for lunch with DH, and I just ran out for waterproof gloves for Col's skating lessons. My laundry is going and my afternoon includes plans to clean out my own drawers and closet. I'm really living it up on my day off.

At least there's no dentist trip or sick kids.

Oh and Chase had his first somewhat bad night in 2-3 weeks. And woke up with 2 more teeth cutting through - second weekend in a row. I was pretty sure I saw them yesterday so at least he had some Motrin last night.

[wineallthetime]

My baby needs a nap. She's not interested. I also need a nap, but that's not happening.

[JoeLies]

Poor Col had some minor diarrhea at school today, so we're monitoring him tonight to determine if it's a fluke or the stomach bug. FX for a fluke...

At least Chase is in a better mood than he's been in since about a week ago. We should get at least a couple days of relief now that those other 2 teeth have broken through.

[trtlcrzy]

DH and I have been taking turns resting and parenting today. I got up a little bit ago and am finally starting to feel a bit better. As if this day couldn't get any better AF came while I was sleeping, because of course.

Sorry about the cpap wedding, I hope it helps your quality of sleep.

[LizInFL]

We are home and I will be so glad to sleep in my own (huge) bed tonight. DH and I were not meant to share a double bed! Kids had another great day in the car and both are passed out.

Anyone else watching the Bachelor tonight? I continue to dislike Corrine. Why is the crazy always from FL?? I feel like she's going to show up with a pot of water to cook his pet rabbit or something.

[wineallthetime]

Glad you made it home, Liz! I'm watching
