And....we're back here again. Monday!

Morning.

[bethypoo83]

Back to work after a 4 day weekend. I was alone with J for about 85% of it so I feel like I need a vacation now.

DH is super sick, we suspect pneumonia again. I've forced him to go to the doctor today. Hoping they can give him something to clear his chest up.

[robotpcr]

Good morning. I think I have a cold. I'm so congested. And my BFF's DS woke me up at 5. My flight home is at 10 tonight.

[hotcoconuts82]

This kids are off today. Taking 3 kids grocery shopping, what could go wrong

I'm still not fully recovered from the flu and I now have a cold. It really isn't fair.

[marygracerich]

I am sending healthy, well rested vibes to everyone today. It's no fun to be sick and/or tired.
I have managed to feed myself and G and take a shower. That is all I have accomplished today so far. We are going to the library for toddler time later. That's all of my plans for the day.

Back to work after a week off. I'm working from home because I'm still sick, so at least it's comfy clothes still.

My family is still on vacation and the weather is 9472349823 times better than it was last week. I want so badly to fly back down there and work from sunshine. I should have planned better and taken my computer with me and done just that.

Hi ladies!
My whole body is sore. Did a really tough boxing/cross cardio class on Saturday and then yesterday painted part of my basement.
I loooove the wall color! It's called "Whale Gray" by Behr paints. Next up is the flooring!

Before/after wall color:

FIL came to visit this weekend and the kids had a great time visiting! He told us SIL is pregnant around 22 weeks and apparently everyone was told not to tell us, we have never had a relationship with her and one DD was born she was a shitty aunt, skipped her 1st birthday party and saw her 2 times in the year. It was fine with us it was her loss in our opinion. When I was preg with LO she called and was crying about being a lousy aunt etc saying she wanted to fix it and I again told her she was welcome to have what ever relationship she wanted with the kids, and again she has had none, which again we feel is her loss. The kids have my sister, and my two best friends who I have been best friends with since I was 14, they call and refer to as their Aunts. I sent her a message to congratulate her, and told DH he should, he said NO, she has not been an aunt to our kids and specifically told everyone not to tell us and he doesn't care. FIL is stressed because her boyfriend is in a court battle right now with 2 ex wives over child support/ alimony because he claims they are taking all of his money. I felt bad for FIL, he was actually just told as well and I think had to tell someone so told us.

Man...all these illnesses floating around. Feel better everyone!

emu0013 - Sorry to hear about your relationship with SIL. Is this her first child? Maybe her becoming a mother will open her up to being a better aunt?

My two sisters rarely visit my kids, so I get it. They mainly see them at birthday parties and holidays only.

I could fly back to FL for the week for 136 roundtrip. That would be crazy to actually do, right?

I'd do it.  That's super cheap!

Back after a week of vacation. This place was a shit show all last week from what I hear. Not much different than any other week really.

I've texted H to get some feelers out on how he'd take it. We'd miss today's flight but could go tomorrow morning and fly back Saturday morning and just crash at my parents' condo.

H would have to stay here but W and I could go and I could work from down there. Gah! I really want to!

[honda13]

I have stuff I could do at work but I don't feel like it.

[brittneysandra]

Have my 12 week ultrasound today, nervous but excited to see LO !!

[lgsdesigner]

Soooo...you all need to watch the news. Looks like the FBI confirmed Russia indeed hacked the election. Details coming in now on MSNBC.

This is her first, and honestly, I doubt it, she has always acted like my kids and actually me and my hubby(her brother) don't exist which is fine her choice. I told Dh I just don't want to be a shitty aunt like she is to our kids.

[lgsdesigner]

emu0013 - That's sad.
When I was growing up my aunts took me everywhere. I had fond memories of all of them. When I ask my kids about their aunts they sometimes say "Who?"
Not good.

Daycare visit went great!
We have two more this week. But both are significantly more expensive and today was really great.

This one has an opening available right now?  Sounds like you may have found your new place.  I'd still check out the others, but the pros on this one are great!

[robotpcr]

Come share your pictures brittneysandra!

If my dog and child don't both go to sleep soon, I may lose my mind.
C hasn't been sleeping well which means I haven't been sleeping well. I'm in need of some quiet time.

This has been A since the time change, it's been the worst

Yea, same thing here, if you ask who are your aunts, DD says my sister and my 2 best friends, and if you ask her who her uncle is she says my BIL and DH's best friend. DH's brother and sister were always more into partying and prioritizing that so she has no clue who they are. We finally had to tell MIL to stop bringing them up when we face-timed bc she would get frustrated with DD when she didn't know who they were and then started trying to tell her my 2 friends and DH's friend were not really her aunts and uncles. (insert eye roll)

I said we'd start come August so we're on their list to make sure a spot is saved.

I have 2 months left of school and am off for the summer. I didn't want to deal with the transition now and then have break and have to redo a transition again come August.

That makes sense.

Teach me about zoodles. I found a vegetable spiralizer in my closet. Don't know where it came from but I'm going to use it. Throw some recipes at me!
