I did get to drive into work this morning by myself which was nice since Ryan and I usually drive in together. I got to blast Purple Rain and sing like a dummy. Twas lovely.

How is W this morning pixiepink24? I am so sorry you had to cancel your flight.
I have so much laundry I didn't do yesterday that must be done today. I am also baking today. Dh leaves for a tournament tomorrow and I like to send him and the other guys treats they can have on hand while they work.
I decided to put on Taylor Swift's "1989" album and jammed out the entire way to work. I even made it in early and had time to run to Trader joes, woohoo! Cheesy puffs and fruit strips for the win!

Thanks guys. I'm so upset about all this. W is acting normal aside from the vomit. No temperature yet. Trying to see if she can keep down some pedialite while doing a ton of puke laundry. I think I'm on shirt #4 or 5.
I talked to American Airlines. They said, when and if I book again, that's when I have to talk to them seeing if I could rebook but it still most likely will be a $200 fee. Plus, W was technically not a ticketed passenger since riding in my lap. Also, taking her to the doctor would be like $100 + out of pocket since our insurance situation is still not worked out. FML
pixiepink24, Oh no I'm so sorry you're going through all that on top of an already rough time. Airlines are such assholes! Not that it helps any now, but for the future, always purchase flight insurance. I'm neurotic and buy it every time. It's only like $20 more but it has saved me a couple times!
pixiepink24 don't waste your money on a doctors note. I don't think that will make a difference since it's just a stomach bug. When you go to reschedule ask for a manager and if they don't waive the fee ask for their manager. Be polite but firm and they may do it.
I accidentally put strawberry milk in DS1's cereal at daycare drop off this morning. He thought it was the greatest thing ever. I really hope no one noticed.
Off tomorrow to celebrate his 5th Birthday with lunch and a movie. I can't wait to spend some alone time with him. I also can't believe he is five already! They grow up much too fast.
I have a bad cold and have been struggling to make it through this week.
I'm a mess today. I forgot to put my dr appointment on my work calendar and ended up having 2 meetings scheduled for this morning. I could reschedule one, but not the other. So instead of being fully here for the appointment, I'm stressed about getting out of here early so I can be at the office in time for my meeting.
I wish my boss was more gracious and would just take over the meeting and fill me in later. He's not.

Half day today! Lots of errands and a psych appt this afternoon. And DH is out with the guys tonight so I've got dinner and bed alone. Let's hope this energy and patience continues into the evening.
And school called to say L threw up a little and has to go home even though she's fine and they think she just ate too much. Not how I saw this day going.
I emailed my student who said something about telling me who she is. I basically told her to feel free to tell me whenever she feels comfortable. Obviously, there's more to her story but I have a feeling that it really won't be a big deal to me but damn is it suspenseful! If it's a big deal to her, I'm all ears but in the end, I respect and treat everyone the same. I just want to know!
I worked out with my trainer last night...he's so great. I really like him. He LOVES his job so much. I have never seen someone love what they do as much as this guy loves being a personal trainer. He's so happy and excited all the time, and so positive. AND he actually calls me by my name and not "sweetie" or any BS like that. Yesterday he kept telling me how proud he was of me and how well I'm doing and giving me high fives and MAN do I need that kind of positive affirmation.
There are 3 guys who train there, and I can tell this one white guy is always in charge of the music. It's usually on this early 2000s pop-punk station that plays stuff like Yellowcard, Saves the Day, All-American Rejects, etc. I was super into that back then, but dang, a lot of those songs do not hold up. Yesterday it was on a slightly different early 2000s station with lots of Linkin Park, Thrice, and AFI, and it was so much better. I lost count of my reps because I started singing along with "The Artist in the Ambulance".
There was a whole week during the holiday season it was playing bad Christmas music. I really think they need to take the music controls away from this other guy.

@pixiepink23 another thing that has worked for me is reaching out to an airline via twitter (if you have an account). Sounds a little weird, but they've always been able to DM me a number of someone who has been able to help get whatever issue I've had resolved.
I'm sorry about your trip though. That really blows!

Yes, doing it publicly like this really does work!
Anyone else watching today? Why is Kathie Lee trying to look like Mariah Carey? Her makeup and hair is so weird. Like I had no idea who I was looking at. Jenna bush looks amazing.
Today I'm attempting a crib nap and a sponge bath for littlest LO. I was going to keep Henry home from DC with us too but I chickened out since I also have a doctor appointment and was too nervous to try an outing with two. Next week!

We had a few hours puke free. She drank a little and nibbled on some crackers and applesauce. But she just puked again about 30 minutes ago and has had two diarrhea diapers. Not sure if it's psychosomatic or not but SO and I are starting to feel a little funky too. Time for nap. I guess the whole sleep training thing will have to start over another time too.
Need a gift idea for boy girl twins turning 4. Their parents are very concerned with what is current/cool/fashionable. Looking to spend about $75 total and am looking for separate gifts. It's ok if the gifts are totally unrelated to one another.

amch8 my nearly 4 year old is really into play doh, colouring, and ninja turtles. And the things you can't buy like jumping off furniture, running, and talking non stop literally all day. I know nothing about girls that age, but I doubt they're too different. We got Mac a book, ninja turtle toy, and ninja turtle gear so he can dress up and pretend he's Leonardo for his birthday end of the month. He likes Paw Patrol, but that's starting to fade for him, he asked for a Paw Patrol cake but doesn't ask to watch it anymore.
