I don't understand why I'm so tired. I got close to 8 hours of sleep with only one wake up due to DS1 crying and climbing into my bed. I was only awake for 10 minutes, tops.
I've got so much to do, no clue where to start, but it's got to be done this week. I just want to stay in bed.
I know a loooot of people hate the Patriots and Tom Brady, but, I say this as a sports fan and someone who has followed football for a long time, but that was an incredible win. I had a sneaking feeling they were going to come back, you can never count Brady out. Controversies aside, the fact that he is a Trump supporter aside, he is the best quarterback I have ever watched in my lifetime. Just unreal.

I was up extra early with v. She has a double ear infection. She was fine in the morning yesterday. We went to church and the grocery. Then I came home to start chicken and noodles. She started crying and would not stop. Then she put her cheek up to mine and was on fire. I took her temp and she was 103.5. So I took all three kids to immediate care and sure enough she had a double ear infection. Luckily, ear infections tend to heal quickly.
JR is still a snot monster, but happy as a clam. She woke up at 6 this morning singing, "Mommy Daddy Puppy Baby (her new doll)," over and over. H left this morning and gets back Thursday night so I'm solo this week and am hoping that JR is on the up and up. DNW to have to take a day off work while H is out of town.
Had a lot of fun hanging out with @officedronette at her Super Bowl gathering last night! JR and L played nicely and it was cute and at the end of the night JR gave L a big hug (after I asked her to, but still)!

Taking a sick day today. My second one in 7 years. I maybe could have mustered through but I just feel like crap.
I'm going to shower and eat and then decide if I'm getting up or going back to bed.
I've let my boys start selling toys on the bst and keeping the money and it's the greatest. So many toys gone and they are into saving there money so hopefully not a ton of crap coming back!
I'm thinking of taking a break from FB for a little bit. Those of you who have done similar (I don't want to be away forever), how did you handle? Did you deactivate then reactivate your account? Did you just delete the app and avoid Facebook?

I'm trying to figure out if I should wake up my kid. I tend to let him sleep in when he's sick, and then regret it when he won't take a nap or fights going to bed at night. But I walked up there to wake him and he was out cold, so I figured he needed it. I will probably regret this later.
I need to call the vet today. I used to be able to get meds for my one cat online, and now you need a prescription. I'm thrilled to have to catch her, shove her in a cat carrier, and drag her and my toddler to the vets later this week. Yay....
Other than that, my life is boring right now. I'm considering it the calm before the storm that will be 2 under 2. Lol

How strong is your will power? I took the app off my phone and iPad, but found I was still tempted to get on my laptop, so I had H change my password for me. He emailed it to himself (offered to email it to me), and made it some ridiculously complicated password so that I can't memorize it (at my request). My long term goal was to not be on it so much, so the long complicated password was necessary for me. I'll have to look it up each time I want to get on.
I haven't been on in 2 weeks, and I'm starting to get the itch to be back on... so the password change has been useful I think I still need more time away.
I have a case of the mondays. I don't even have a valid reason. I'm just grumpy and so sick of the grey weather. In January we had 12 hours of sunlight the entire month! 12!! I guess people in the PNW are used to that but I'm not!
If you couldnt tell from the pictures, the J15 Philly meetup was more than a success! I had SO much fun with you ladies. It was just a really, really nice and fun trip! I cant wait for the next retreat
Yesterday, A and I spent the day together doing mommy/daughter things so that we could reconnect after I've been away the past few weeks. It was just what I needed!
I feel so hungover this morning even though I havent drank since Friday night. Meh. I know there are a ton of Pats fans on here, but last night really did send me back to election night. I feel like we're in some weird upside down where evil prevails; like a comic book world. I say this as a broad generalization, obviously the Pats aren't that evil
H and I just booked a trip to ATL in June. (We had a Delta voucher that was about to expire and we wanted to book a trip while JR could still be a lap infant.) We're staying right off PeachTree Plaza. pixiepink24 and anyone else familiar with the city: are we going to need to rent a car if we want to do the big things like Coca Cola, CNN, Olympic grounds, etc? Or is the city pretty accessible via public transit? We're also comfortable walking quite a bit.
I slept crappy and am ready for a nap already. W woke up at 5 but went back to sleep (I think) until 6, when he was laughing in his bed. Hoping for good naps for both of us today.
rachydc I saw a bunch of posts on Twitter that were comparing the Pats comeback win to Election night. Nate Silver was like "Have they called Florida yet?!?" I had a little chuckle.
I just bought her an Amazon Fire Kids for our flight to Memphis is April (they're on sale today BTW). This was a smart decision and not a waste of money, right?

I just literally squealed!!! For those specific places, you will NOT need a car. The MARTA can take you close to all and it's safe to walk during the day, or at least I do. There is also this stupid trolley thing the city spent millions on that can take you places too.
cornpop311 my big kids each have a kindle fire (not the kids one because those are more $$) and they use them all the time. I'll buy Sam one probably this spring. Maybe see if she will tolerate headphones too?
amch8 I deleted the app off my phone. I still log on because my moms group uses FB but I log on the mobile site, do what I need to do, and get back off. I find the mobile site so crappy it's easy to not hang out there.

It took 18 months, but I have my first sad puking sick kid.
She threw up Saturday morning, but it was not much and she acted fine all weekend except for not being very hungry. This morning she puked quite a bit and has been just sitting on me like this since waking up 40 minutes ago
Which is completely unlike her. We have nothing in the house I can even really give her, she's never been sick besides a cold! Ugh. My poor sweet girl. Looks like it's snuggle day for us.
What should I tell my husband to pick up from the store on his way home for lunch? Pedialyte, BRAT diet items... what else? She's not running a fever.

I deactivated and deleted the app. I want to do it again
