They scheduled this surgery quick this time, huh skinandbones? I'll keep you all on my thoughts and prayers! Remember to breath and give him tons of snuggles.
Yet another late dinner over here. We're making pizza and I just put the pizza crust in the oven to rise. Then I still have to bake the crust, top it, and then H will finish cooking it on the egg. This better be worth it, we're trying a new crust H picked out. I should have insisted on using the easier one I bought.
taketheshotrunningmommy519 @janetheconquerer ampaints @mrspanpan thanks for the support! Chuck E. Cheese went well. I sometimes feel like I shouldn't let him around her bc I don't know if he deserves it after the way he acted towards me as a child. But I know it makes my mom (and him) happy so I'm trying.
I took E to her 18m appt only to find out her Medicaid has discontinued. They cut her off after not receiving a form from me... which I sent in. Now they're saying I have to reapply. I'm stressing bc it's a long process. But I'm going to do the application tomorrow morning while H is sleeping (my mom took E for the night) and send in all the documentation I need. The lady didn't really have a good excuse for why E was cut off.. because H's Medicaid is still active. Basically a technical error with the form. Sigh.
Still needing to catch up! After I make dinner I'm hoping to read through all the posts.
amberlie, I hope your dad proves to be a good grandpa. I know how much pain and grief he's caused you.. Wasn't getting her and H on it to begin with a hassle? What's their deal?

Insurance sucks. Says the person who's been fighting insurance companies since August 2016.
layloo08 me too. He has proven so far to be much better towards E than he was to me.
And yes! It was. They had me send in a ton of verification for income, rent payments, etc. I'm so annoyed that I have to do it again. But also thankful that it exists bc we can't afford to put everyone on DH's work insurance.

Trying to catch up over here. Glad your procedure went well aydee .
Glad to hear your surgery is booked @janetheconquerer .
skinandbones FX your LO's surgery goes well. Glad to hear they were on it quick.
joi922 sorry you're having a stressful time. I hope you have a wonderful mental health day tomorrow and nothing work related. Seriously, we all need a day to turn it off.
packmomma and @janetheconquerer I'm jealous over your ikea stuff. I love putting together ikea furniture!! I see lots of ikea trips in my future as we furnish the new house!
amberlie that's brave of you to give your dad a chance to have a relationship with your girls. I don't think I know all of your story, but I think I remember something pretty significant, and in all honestly, I hope that you are confident that your dad's choices. Hugs to you, has to be a very complicated place. But yay for having your mom take E for the night. I can't in a million years imagine 2u2.
@mrspanpan glad you were able to get a dx for your pup. FX the medication isn't ridiculously expensive!
ampaints , I hope your pizza is good! Now I want pizza.
aydee now I want ice cream. I will settle for left over brownie cheesecake!
I know a couple of my tags are all wrong. Will correct as I can!

mrspiatt late to the party, but +1 to what ampaints is saying about YH. TBH I don't like the way he sounds like he has all the power in the fate of your relationship. IMO (which means nothing of nothing so please take with a grain of salt), there are two people in a relationship, and therefore, two people who will be making the decisions on what will happen next. I totally get that relationships are hard...trust me I get it...but you need to determine what you want for you and your LO's. Big hugs to you lady. And F that about your plumbing issues! FX for a quick fix!

This is a downer but I don't dare bring up with h and I've needed to say this.
2 days ago was the day last year our dog willow walked away to never be seen again. I still look for her every day while driving. A still asks when she's coming home. I'm still worried something terrible happened to her and all I can do is silently apologize.

I cleaned my house before picking up the boys from D.C. The took them to McDonald with an indoor play place because I don't want to clean and pick up toys.
Oh! And over the weekend, DH got a call from the pharmacy saying DS2 had a prescription. Long story short, DS2 was supposed to start an antibiotic before surgery. Would have helped had the ENT mentioned this during our last appointment.
I'm actually not convinced he doesn't currently have an ear infection now. Teething and ear infections look pretty similar for DS2. I had to call to make sure they could still do surgery since he woke up with what looks like a cold (but could also be the start of another infection).
I'm so fucking over this. And this was half the time we spent on ear infections last year.
redandblue it's a very long story. He was not a good father to me, at all. Very verbally/emotionally abusive. Abusive in many ways, really. Last year, we lived with my parents for a while to save money. We moved out after 4 months, mostly bc I couldn't deal with him any longer. That was in May, and I didn't talk to him at all for 5-6 months. During the time we lived with them, he yelled at/cussed me out several times, much like he did when I was younger. But it mattered more to me at that point bc it was in front of my daughter (even though she was 5-9 mo then). He's mentally ill, with bipolar disorder among other things. When he sees his therapist and takes his medication, he's fine. I don't ever really want him in my life again. But my mom is amazing and I love her, so for her sake... I'm giving him a chance with the girls. I'm not sure if he deserves it, but my mom is having a difficult time lately so I'm trying for her sake.

And while I'm talking to myself), DH asked his mom to come over so DS1 could finish sleeping and then take him to D.C. in the morning. She try's to figure out a way for us to bring DS1 to her house at 5:30 in the morning. DH pointed out DS1 would be a bear and put a stop to it but it was because she didn't want to get ready for work so early. Well,I don't want my not-quite 18 month old to have his second surgery in under a year.
Really, I think she was just processing and talking things out but I found it really insensitive.
@janetheconquerer, I'm really sorry about your pup. The not knowing what happened makes it that much harder.
amberlie That stinks about having to reapply for medicaid for E. What a pain. Maybe the process will go faster this time around since she was already receiving it previously. And I'm sorry your dad has been so hard to deal with. I hope he's able to be a much better grandfather to your kids than he was as a father to you.
@mrspanpan I'm glad your dog seems to be tolerating the medicine okay. Don't feel bad complaining. You're allowed to love your pup but also hate the cost of these meds. I think many people would feel the same way!
