DH bought it before DD but shortly after DD was born a very close friend of his almost died in an accident. He lived but is mentally a 5th grader now and needs full time care. It scared him to think that could be him with DD around, funny how kids change things. Since then he's barely put any miles on it and it's a nice bike so it's time to let it go. When it sells we'll be using the money to finish our basement and hopefully buy a pop up or camper, much more family friendly.
I am so fucking tired of parenting a sick toddler and a newborn. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Koko is my new mantra with two. Just get through the day and call in all your favors from parents and friends. It's a hard time. Hopefully there's less sickness soon. I've had DH meet me at the doc parking lot to take the baby while I take the big. I've also taken the baby in but I literally don't take him out of the bucket the whole time and wipe down the babies hands, face and bucket seat as soon as we leave and change his clothes.
I just text DH that if he wants DD1 to go to the doctor he's going to have to leave work early. I feel so awful because she just keeps crying for me to hold her/carry her and I keep snapping at her because I can't. I don't even want to be on maternity leave right now.
scout251 I feel your pain, I had days like that on maternity.
DS1 officially has the flu, apparently by me it's spiking again. But the my dad drove up from NJ to help and I'm able to drop off DS2 at daycare so I'm working at home. But I'm running on about 3 hrs of sleep.
I always try and remember that it will pass when we are having a bad day/week. It sucks majorly at the time but once it's over you realize you survived.
Edit to add- also try and give yourself a little treat on bad days. When I was at CVS today getting the tamiflu I bought Cadbury eggs. Something little to bring some joy. Oh and coffee, lots of coffee
Ugh seriously. BIL/SIL just got an offer on their condo for the full asking price. It was on the market for like a day. Unbelievable how things always work out for people who just skate by in life.
My husband just listed his motorcycle and fishing boat for sale. I know a little piece of him is dying and there's a part of me that's sad for him too but I'll be so happy if they sell quickly!
We just listed our fishing boat for sale and had so many people interested that it sold in 1 week for $100 more than we paid for it 5 years ago. I hope yours sells quickly too.

I told ya! You can be the straightest shooter with the best intentions and most responsible personality, and someone who just lazily moves through life seems to always have things work out great for them! I get so terribly frustrated, now I just laugh though.

A good friend of ours bought a bike after his three kids were here. He was in a major accident still alive but has a host of issues will, never work again, poop without a bag, can't eat solid food etc. His insides were shredded.

I think I successfully fixed our dryer! So happy! Was nervous yesterday but now 3rd load has finished no problem so I think it's gonna be ok. FX. Though maybe "fixed" is not quite the right word for vacuuming out 11.5 years of accumulated lint. But it was not working (as in clothes not getting dry) and now it is, and I had to open it all up​ to get to all the places to clean, so ... I feel like I fixed it.
So a friend on FB (who was an acquaintance in high school and lives 20 minutes from me with a daughter around DS's age but I haven't seen her since HS) became a Rodan & Fields consultant. She sent me an invite for her latest R&F party. She has invited me before. She knows that I'm a Mary Kay consultant and put in the invite something like "I know other consultants who've switched to R&F." I was a little insulted by her aggressive tactics. I would never try to poach someone like that, especially someone I haven't seen in 20 years.

I'm very thankful that DH is thinking of us first and getting rid of it. It's not a risk either of us want to take. I know he's a great rider but it's everyone else I'm afraid of. So sorry for your friend

So I talked with Dd1's ST today and she thinks that Dd1 may have a form of speech aphasia/apraxia, and recommended meeting with the speech person at the elementary school to see what she thinks. Dd1 now has an appointment on Monday afternoon with her.

J's SLP mentioned apraxia to us last week. We are having our eval at the school district tomorrow and have more testing with SLP next week.

It's good that you're meeting with the school so early though. Addressing it early makes such a big difference. Hoping they're helpful!
emmygirl - I'm English (I'm English but live in Scotland) with British parents and British grandparents and I have great teeth. I don't have a single filling and neither do my kids.
We do know how to clean our teeth over here!!!
In fact, we get practically free dental care so I think as a nation we have fab teeth.
Maybe generations ago before the NHS, teeth were poorly looked after and most people of my grandparents age have false teeth. But from my parents generation onwards, teeth are pretty nice.

Ds just threw the most epic tantrum..... on the corner of our busy street two blocks from home! He wanted to go to the play park and I said we were just going for a walk to see the chickens (neighbors a few blocks away have chickens). I waited for 20 minutes while he rolled around on the ground, threw his hat into the road and screamed at me. The lady that lived in the house came out and asked if I needed help and 2 cars pulled over to see if he was ok. I ended up throwing him over my shoulder and carrying him for a bit. As soon as I put him down to walk, he ran back to the corner and did the whole thing over again. I carried him all the way home, pushing dd in a stroller. He kicked and hit the whole time.
