And I'm sick. Fabulous. Grrrrr is winter over yet?!?

[rivers and roads]

Sorry you're sick, leahks77! I hope you feel better soon.

It's going to be in the uppers 70s today and I'm so excited. We might head into the city this afternoon if he can get a good nap in this morning. I can't wait for Spring to get here for good.

I hope your sickness goes by quickly leahks77

"Mommy needs breakfast too. You need to chill your shit." Yep, this morning is going well here. Lol. I guess I need to work on my swearing.

The keynote speaker this morning is snooze-worthy. 😴🙄 So boring and terrible.

I'm excited to get home tonight. Sounds like H and the kids have been doing well. He sent me a text this morning saying he sucks at putting pony tails in (which I knew) but he didn't include a picture. Lol Our daycare is closed today (pre-planned) so the kids are at Nana's today and having fun I'm sure.

God Ryan has been an absolute jerk 4/5 days this week. I'm really hoping he figures out that we're nicer when we aren't getting screamed at soon. Dh was so fed up last night. I feel extra bad too because he'll be alone with him tomorrow evening but only about 45 minutes of that will be awake at least. I hope he's less of a jerk then.

leahks77, sorry you're sick.
Winter is the worstttttttt



I think I have a sinus infection. It's been going on for a few days. I think DD has one too, since she's been miserable the last couple days.
I'm ready for steadily warm weather. This yo yo of temperatures is just awful.

[tkford216]

Spending a week cooped up, sick, and taking care of a tiny sick human constantly clinging is enough to make me batty. And my H is pissing me off on top of it. I'm actually looking forward to getting out of the house to try on bridesmaid dresses tomorrow (from a distance, with lots of hand sanitizer). Ahhhh.

[leahks77]

swim yes the yo yo effect is the woooooorst!!! It also makes me feel mildly bipolar. "It's nice! I feel fabulous!! It's cold and windy. I feel angry and I swear a lot." I blame this for my mood and my stupid cold.
Also, I made the decision to call out tonight. Honestly I'm not dying but if I work a 12 tonight on no sleep I will be tomorrow. And we have Lu's make up party on Sunday and I don't want to be miserable. But when I called, nobody answered. So now I have to psych myself up all over again and call back. I hate calling out. So much guilt.

I hate calling out too. My work recently started a new absence reporting system. It's all online now. It's the best.

[leahks77]

swim that's amazing. I want that now. I just tried again. No answer. At this rate I won't do it because it's making me so anxious every time.

[trtlcrzy]

Sorry you're not feeling well leahks77, at my last clinic I could just text my supervisor that I wasn't coming in. Ideal situation.

[trtlcrzy]

I'm really annoyed at my sister, M. She is the one with R, B and baby O. Right now R is staying with one of our sisters (L) and B is staying with the other one (J). Last night she called L on the phone and told her she was going to send both kids back to her friend's house in RC so they could be together. Like pull R out of school and transfer her back to her old school. She is already not doing great in school and I don't think transferring her again a month before school gets out is a good idea. M has been shirking all of her parenting responsibilities since O was born 6 months ago. This is so not fair to the kids and I feel so bad for them. She isn't giving my sister's any money for food or clothes for them either. Seasons are changing and they need new, weather appropriate clothes. Plus Easter is coming up and B's birthday. Her DH needs to try to get a job in Rochester, they need to sell their house in RC and they all need to live together again. O is still very critical and won't be out of the hospital any time soon, in fact I'll be surprised if he's out before he turns a year old.

[rivers and roads]

trtlcrzy, that's frustrating. I can't imagine being in your sister's place, especially with 2 others, but yeah.. not cool. That has to be extra hard on the kids to be bouncing around like that and without their parents, too. School could be the one stability they have!
There's so many things to consider for that. It's got to be hard. Remind me again (or not, if it's none of my business :-P)- Her H is still working in their hometown, right? Why did the kids have to move if he's still home?

[leahks77]

trtlcrzy ugh I'm sorry. That's such a hard situation. While I can't imagine how hard it is to have a baby hospitalized like that, I feel like the other kids still need attention (and support). Does this seem totally unusual for her (and completely because of the hard times with O) or maybe not totally out of character? That might shape my response a little...

I'm watching MIL's daycare for a couple hours so she could go to a funeral.

I'm kind of frustrated with our photographer that did our family/DDs birthday pictures back in January. It took 5 weeks to even get back any proofs, I ordered and paid two days after getting them. That was 4 weeks ago now. I can check the status of them online and it says they haven't even been ordered from the lab yet. Should I email her and ask when we can expect them? Maybe I'm being irrational but I'm getting a little impatient. She'll probably say it's a busy season blah blah blah but she has been putting sneak peaks of sessions on Facebook like the day after she does a session, we didn't even get that.

BIL has been living separately from M & the kids for over a year. He was doing clinicals and then was offered a job in the town that J lives in. He sees B but because he works super early in the morning (he's a surgical tech) B stays at J's house. BIL lives in a small studio appt also so there isn't much space.

I would email her. That's crazy.

She's always been a very self centered person. She has always prioritized herself before her kids.

[trtlcrzy]

Oh I don't think I mentioned. I finally heard back from my photographer. We are scheduled for Sunday morning. If we have to reschedule again I'm going to be pissed.

[trtlcrzy]

Does anyone else's baby like to eat their hair. I'm laying on the floor, face timing my sister and S is crawling all over me trying to eat my hair.

Yeah that changes things. And sucks. Because nobody wants to say hard things to a mama with a sick kid. But someone might have to or else it might never change...

That's the hard part. M isn't going to change her ways until someone makes her. She has this grand plan to move her family down to Texas. If she moves there she will have NO ONE to help her at all. If you couldn't tell I also think that isn't the best idea.

[trtlcrzy]

I am such a scatterbrain. I need to go shopping after DH gets home. We are going to a bday party tomorrow afternoon and I haven't gotten a gift yet. I'll get the Motrin at the same time.

[chocolate]

trtlcrzy man that's a tough situation. I can't imagine what it's like to be in that situation with a baby, but I feel horrible for her other kids too. Maybe someone needs to have a talk with her about how her other kids are suffering and need their parents too. It is sounding like it's going to be an incredibly long road ahead and they should start thinking long term and make a plan to be together.

How many sisters do you have? Seems like so many ☺️

3 sisters, no brothers. M has had anger issues all of her life so anyone trying to talk to her just sets her off unfortunately. I agree though, she needs a long term plan.

I just let S cry it out for the first time before bed and it went so much better than I thought it would. Lately when I put her down for nap I nurse her and she appears to be asleep but when I actually lay her down she wakes up and cries. So I've been leaving her to sort it out. She usually cries for like a minute and then falls asleep. Same thing sort of happened at bedtime. I nursed her but she kept trying to sit up and look around. So I said I was done and told DH to put her in the pack n play. She cried for maybe 5 minutes and fell asleep.
