Dh just left with the girls to drive to my parents and I am alone in house waiting for my UPS delivery before I can leave. I'm going to spend the quiet time eating lunch, finishing packing, and re-cleaning the porch all without little "helpers".
I think I'm doing this alone time thing all wrong.
I'm so tired today. The wind kept me up last night. My hips also hurt really bad today. I may not make it to my scheduled "get T out of me" day of next Tuesday. Today I feel done.
I have even a hard time trying to talk myself into paying the vet $450 to clean her teeth. I've never had a dog where we've done that but DH thinks it's important. It's a dog.
They clean my dog's teeth at petsmart for like $10
Today I got to the store and found that the stroller wasn't in the trunk. Of course my first reaction is to call DH and ask him what he did with the stroller. Upon thinking about it, I realized I must've left it at the park the other day when I took the girls. This is our stupidly expensive stroller so cue the crying and me freaking out. I desperately posted on my local moms group to see if anyone happen to see it...and I found it!!! I am ecstatic. There are good people in the world!

I know someone who had to have their dogs teeth cleaned at the vet and it was really pricey too because they had to put the dog out to clean them. I know at my groomer, they brush their teeth but if they require a deep cleaning, a vet has to do it. I am not surprised it's price th considering the cost of medication to sedate them.

I literally laughed at this. I would totally do something like this. I get so sidetracked sometimes. Glad you found it!!

Yea 2 kinda takes whatever brain space you had left after 1. There's no room for anything else.

Yes this is why it's expensive. She gets them cleaned when she's at the groomer but we're the only one in our friends set that isn't doing this deep clean where they get put under and they judge us hard. I can think of many things to spend that on.
So I went into the doctor for my theist. It's strep and he said my lymph nodes are way more swollen than most he has seen. He also found my ear drum is burst so now I have to follow up with an ENT. Work fast drugs!!

I don't know what to do about Peyton. She is asking about her dad every single day and I don't have good excuses or know how to explain things to someone so young.
I just am trying to cut ties with him as I am so tired and stressed after dealing with his issues for so long and he will never change. I don't want a bad influence around her and feel he will hurt her emotionally as she grows.
It doesn't change the fact that it kills me that she wants to see him and makes me feel terrible that I am keeping her from doing so. I feel so torn.

Oh no yuck! Sounds like you have a worse version of what I'm getting over. You have all my sympathy this was a killer and I can't imagine it being worse!

Hugs footloose. I'm sorry I don't have any advice on what to say to Peyton or how to get her to stop asking, but ... You are doing what you need to do to keep your child and yourself safe and sane and it sucks that it is hard and that there are going to be so many times when our offspring will be little buggers and make us feel like we are evil for being good parents (even in simple, privileged, family situations - kids just do that!), but - you're still right. And hopefully having this group and other friend/family support helps at least a little.

I totally need to be doing my sub plans for tomorrow but just cannot get motivated to and just want to be reading/hanging out here. You (plural) are a safe happy anxiety reducing place. Thank you for that.

When I was little I would ask my mom about my biological father. She told me I'd say "my friend gots a daddy, why don't I gots a daddy." I don't remember any of this, but it was really hard for my mom. I guess what I am saying is Peyton is probably curious what's going on, but it's much harder on you than it probably is for her (for you to worry about her).

Burst ear drum sounds super painful. Is it?
Yeah this time I only went in for my throat. It's so swollen I can barely eat or drink and then he checked my ears and asked if my ears hurt. My ear never bothered me and still doesn't but he said it's burst and has a big hole in it so I'll have to get it checked. I think it happened in December when I was sick and had a double ear infection. There was one night I couldn't sleep because it hurt so bad, guessing that's when it happened. Very bizarre.
Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. I'll be staying home tomorrow to sleep and hope that helps.

Sub plans are the f-ing worst! Seriously one if the worst parts of being a teacher. I would do them for you if I could.

I don't know. Every day when I pick her up from daycare, she runs from the other room yelling "Yay! My daddy!" and then sees me and says "I don't want you. I want my daddy"
She will start to cry at home too. She does miss him. She just doesn't see all of the inappropriate things with him of course. I feel like I will screw her up either way I go.

This is so hard. I think you're doing what's best. She may hate you for a while for it but she will understand one day and love you more for it.
