I now know why my kids were jerks last night. 2 out of 3 have fevers. Off to the doctor we go. This is T's first fever besides the day of his 2 month shots so I can't complain.

So this is WW related and made me laugh. When we got to my mom to her new rehab place, she really wanted us to take her to get a pedicure..And to weight watchers. So she could weigh in. I guess you have to weigh in every so often so they don't charge you?? My aunt was in the hospital recently and also immediately wanted to go weigh in. My family, always bargain hunting. We said I'm sure they surely excuse her, and if not we will just pay it. Or maybe she knows she lost some weight and wanted it on the books.

If you are a "lifetime" member, meaning you've reached your goal weight, you have to keep weighing in and stay within 2 pounds of that weight or they will start charging you the regular member rates again.
And yes to the toddler tantrums. I feel like all I do is yell, which isn't helpful. At all. I'm constantly thinking that I must just be the shittiest parent since my kid can be such a terror. It makes me feel better when I read here and realize I'm not alone!
Yesterday's report: "Sad to say but Colin has lost his listening ears." Talk about feeling like MOTY.
There's definitely something going on developmentally at 3.5yrs because C has also become a whirlwind of emotions the past few weeks. Prior to that we had about six weeks of good after a rough transition to 3. I assume it's developmental since we are all seeing the same stuff. I hate getting frustrated when he cries but he cries all the time suddenly over nothing so it's hard to be empathetic and patient. Hopefully it's a short lived phase.
cagoldi, I know exactly what you mean about it being hard to workout when you're uncomfortable with your body and don't feel like yourself. It's a crappy feeling.
I can do walking or the stationary bike, but most other types of exercise need to wait until I've already had some weight loss.
It's basically impossible to do Pilates with a giant stomach in your way.

+1 to all of this. Last week during a crying tantrum Matthew said "mommy, don't yell at me" I burst into tears and cried on the floor with him.
This was us this morning. I lost it on N because I asked her a million times to get her shoes on. She burst into tears and said "mommy, don't be mean to me!" I felt terrible.

L kept crying yesterday after I scolded him for not listening. Like he would start, then stop, then burst into tears again a few minutes later. So I asked him what was wrong, and he tearfully said "I don't know!". I agree, some sort of developmental milestone they are working through!
By the time we got to the doctor, DD's fever was 106. There was a new nurse who told me she never saw a fever that high before. So glad I'm not a new mom who could have freaked out about that. DD hits 106 every time she gets a fever. Both tested negative for the flu and she didn't think she needed to test for strep. Happy spring break to us. DS1 has locked himself in his room to keep away from the germs.
11 slides left to go until I'm out of class. 6 minutes remain until we are supposed to be out. I'm sure Q &A will take forever since we have that signature person who is at every training that asks questions about everything.
Oh yes, there is one like that in every group. And sometimes, but not always, it's the same person who asks verrrrrry specific questions that require a unique response that applies to no one else in the room.
Oh my gosh kim22. Poor kids! Happy spring break, indeed.
+whatever to seeing a new side of the threenager lately. Two was literally a breeze for us and then it was like a switch flipped. He is really testing boundaries and is very quick to cry or react.
He told me today that I'm a "mean mommy" when I asked him to sit down to put his shoes on. Burrrrn.
I'm sorry kim22. Why didn't they test for strep? I'm a big pusher of the strep test since it doesn't always "look" like it.
The nurse has set the strep tests out before the doctor came in. Dr said 20% of kids carry strep in their throats all the time and will therefore always test positive. Just 6 weeks ago is when DD tested positive on her 4th test. Our pediatric practice has 6 doctors, 3 who are pretty aggressive with treating, and 3 who are more wait and see. Our regular dr is aggressive which was really important when DD was young and we did not have a grip on her asthma. Today we saw one of the wait and see doctors. Hopefully this passes quickly. We are hosting 23 people for Easter and I haven't done a thing yet with having been away.
lahdeedah88 after saying he'd been better lately, S did his best to prove me wrong. Super whiney and not listening at pick up. So bad that one of the teachers had to help get him to the car.
Then after we got home he lost his mind bc he opened the fridge and decided he wanted to have sausage for dinner. Never mind that dinner was already made. Tantrum lasted like 20 minutes.

Not a fun evening
I'm sorry🙁. My mantra lately has been This, too, shall pass. I have to believe this.

So just to give an example about the small things that have us not happy about M's current day care...
At pickup, M has a note by his lunchbox that says he needs more pull-ups for naps. Cue my husband to find a teacher to figure out why and let her know he can do simple math. He tells her that we gave 5 pullups last Monday and he only went to school two days because of his fever. We also sent 3 pull-ups this Monday (in a ziplock bag with his name on it) and he only was there twice so far this week for nap, therefore, he should have 4 pull-ups left to finish this week out.
The teacher's response: She'll talk to the other teachers to figure it out because they don't label the diapers and he used some other kid's pull-up today because he was out.
🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️ I guess they think pull-ups grow on trees.
We get a crazy situation like this almost weekly. Every time we say to ourselves, THIS is why he is switching schools this fall.
Colin was actually somewhat sane this evening, and apparently better at school. He's also potty crazy and came out for 3 potty trips in the 1/2 hour after I left him for bed. He should be dry in the morning because there can't be ANYTHING left.
