Terrified thursday

[LizInFL]

Morning!

We had a fun day at the zoo yesterday and had dinner with my parents afterwards. I was hoping to send B back to preschool today but am going to keep him home one more day. He's doing better and supposedly no longer contagious, but the cough is still pretty heavy and he's just kind of weak. He's lost several pounds this past week and his appetite still isn't back to 100%, so I'm trying to fatten him back up.

We'll be hanging at the house today waiting for 2 companies to come give me estimates for replacing a couple windows that have fogged over. DH gets back tomorrow afternoon so this'll give me a chance to do some housework, etc.

Hi everyone. B woke up MOTN w a bloody nose. I don't think she realized it though or she would've gone crazy. She just woke up and was asking me for a tissue.

Not much going on. I'm researching patio contractors as we'd like to have one done for spring.

Morning! Preschool day today. While H is there I want to run to the mall to return some things. I signed up to cover a shift so I'm working this evening.

@peachsmama sometimes when you get "too much" (if there could be such a thing) sleep you can feel more tired upon waking.

LizInFL I hope B gets over this crude soon! Poor kid

Thank you; me, too! We're very fortunate that he hasn't been sick like this before, but this is the pits. I'm ready for him to be his old self again.

Morning everyone! I'm at work. Same old. We tried the ok to wake clock last night. We must have set it wrong because it was off this morning and C was screaming, "It's broke! It's broke! I need green to get up!" haha.

[JoeLies]

Hope B is feeling better soon, LizInFL.

Boo to bloody noses, yummeecookee. Colin gets them often enough that he just shrugs them off.

Not drinking hot chocolate would be an issue for me, too @peachsmama. I *may* have a serious sweet tooth.

[sands42]

Hi guys. Just wanted to stop in & say I won't be around much for a little while. I'm going through some shitty times right now so I can't be on here as much. I'll check in when I can ☹️

[JoeLies]

Hugs sands42. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

[LizInFL]

Sending hugs and positive thoughts your way sands42. We'll be here when things settle down, or if you just need to vent in the meantime.

[yummeecookee]

Hope things look up for you soon sands42.

[wineallthetime]

sands42, I'm sorry We're here for you!

[tallblonde]

Thinking of you sands42, hope things get better soon.

[trtlcrzy]

Sorry for the rough times sands42. We are here for you if you need to talk. ❤️

tgrimes1980, that's exhausting! Nap, H! I'm surprised by daycare's response. Neither of my kids nap/napped at daycare as babies. Yesterday I picked up L and they were so excited she took a 40min nap. I'd think they'd get quite a few babies who don't really nap. Plus, he JUST started there!

Hi girls! MH is in surgery today. And then he's bed bound for 4 days. Please keep my sanity in your thoughts.

My mom has like 25 chickens now and is getting 18 eggs a day. Our fridge is stuffed with eggs. Who needs eggs? We can't eat or sell them fast enough.

You can feed them to the chickens. It sounds weird, but they lose a lot of calcium in the process of laying, so consuming the eggs is a good way for them to restore nutrients.

I have friends with rescue chickens that don't eat or sell any eggs and that's what they do with them. The hens love it, apparently.

[cagoldi]

Sorry you're having a tough time, sands42. Please take good care of yourself.

Did this last spring with my H's knee. It was brutal. Sending virtual wine your way. 🍷

[LizInFL]

guster yes, it is definitely a brutal virus. I hate for him to miss school because he enjoys it, but I know part of my problem is a holdover from high school, when missing a day was practically the end of the world academically. I keep telling myself he's just missing finger painting and not lessons on quadratic equations!

[wineallthetime]

All the wine for you, Cherhorowitz. That sounds terrible.

[LizInFL]

So here's something random and weird...I woke up this morning to find I had taken my pajama top off MOTN. I have this fuzzy recollection of it being soaking wet so I removed it, but everything was completely dry this a.m. so I guess i must've had a really vivid dream and taken it off in reaction to that? So odd.

Sending you love sands42. We're here if you need to talk.

yummeecookee Landon woke up this morning with a bloody nose too. He called me into the bathroom and it looked like a murder scene. Blood doesn't tend to bother me, but it was so much it made me feel sick.

Lucas is home sick again. His fever hit 103.5 last night, and was down to 101.5 this morning. Now it's completely gone and he seems to feel fine, which means we are going to drive each other crazy being trapped in the house together all day. Yesterday I was super productive, so I'm thinking today I'm just going to relax.

This. Although, we use to have some hens that as soon as they laid the egg they would turn around and peck it open to eat it. Vultures.

I was guessing this was going to end up with you telling us about a breast milk leak. 

[cagoldi]

FX things go smoothly, Cherhorowitz. Hoping he has an easy recovery.

[mamabear13]

I got the 2nd round interview!
Now to figure out how to approach pregnancy when then see me in person....at 25 weeks I don't think I can hide it very well.

[klongoria11]

I'm swamped at work today. It sucks. Every time I get close to what I'm currently working on my email pings and I have a new thing to start on.

mwhipple77 I haven't talked to him yet today. I'll call him after work so Cadence can talk to him. I told her he is at the hospital and she said Doc McStuffins would take care of him.

Cherhorowitz speedy recovery to yh!

mamabear13 congratulations!

[lahdeedah88]

Sorry to hear things have been rough on your end sands42. Hope things turn around soon.

Hoping for a speedy recovery @cher. Sending you lots of wine and patience.

Congrats mamabear13! Hope the second round goes well.

[wineallthetime]

Where have you been, @sing2phins? How are you?

[tallblonde]

I have lactation cookies dough in the fridge to bake later and officially doing nothing today. Figure I can run errands with the kids on weekends, but chest naps days are numbered.
