Puke-a-palooza. DS picked it up middle of last week. It hit DH today. My nephew got it this afternoon. DD has been puking all night. I'm basically one of the few unscathed so far. I'm scared.
My friend came to DS's party Saturday. She's super pregnant and has had two really bad stomach flus requiring hospitalization so far. They've already told her if she gets it again, there not waiting, it will mean an immediate section. And if she has another, her doctor is not supportive of her having another baby. So if she gets it, I'll basically feel like the biggest turd on the face of the planet. (DS hadn't puked since Wednesday at 1pm, so I figured he wasn't contagious...)
Seriously, I'm not a praying person, but pray for us all.

k3am I would feel like a turd too but you did what I think anyone would do. I know if it has been a few days since any puking I would assume it was fine to have a party.
Praying for you k3am ! I would have done the same thing though.
I could use some prayers too. Stubborn DH who refused to go to the doctor on Friday is still sick and getting worse. Spiked a nasty fever last night. And guess what week it is? Show week! So instead of just solo parenting all week, I get to also take care of a husband who refuses to take a day off or use modern medicine. So he's basically planning to infect his cast and our entire family. I'll kill him if he gets any of us sick.
k3am, I agree with erinshelley21 that I would've thought a few days would be ok. I highly recommend taking active charcoal caplets, drinking lots of purple grape juice, and taking lots of vitamin C (Emergen-C or pills/chewables). Doing those things should help you stay healthy.
H was drunk on Friday and decided to tell me as a "Mother's Day present" that he's known for months that I got selected for a job I interviewed for in January/February (he is pretty friendly with the highest level deciding official). There has been hiring freeze related issues that recently finally got mostly resolved a few weeks ago, and most of the people that I know who have gotten selected for jobs heard early last week or end of the prior week. So now I am playing the what if game, wondering if something happened that now I am not actually getting selected for this job, because why wouldn't they have said something to me yet. H now regrets telling me.
Widget123 - ugh! I wish DH knew for sure all the details - but it sounds like a hiring freeze to me makes sense?
DH forgot to take his meds again Friday and Saturday. It was a not so great Saturday (where DH was involved it sucked) and an AWFUL Mothers Day. We ate lunch at home because DH was just unbearable.
I am just freaking exhausted. 3 day field trip. I did get to relax yesterday, but my stomach was unsettled, hopefully from all the greasy food, considering all of my other stomach issues this year. I am now at work, wishing I was back in bed.

Man, you guys. I'm sorry. Here's hoping your weeks get better quick.
I have a mid-morning parent-teacher conference, so I feel like half my day is just shot. And I need to do a slight throwing around of weight, which literally makes me sick to my stomach. But I need to talk to the head of the school about who DD will be placed with for kindergarten, because I'm not dealing with another teacher like we had this year. And the teacher DH really loved at Move Up night is retiring after 25 years with the school, so I'm not even sure who we want, other than someone who is going to be patient and kind as DD catches up physically in learning to write faster and be better at cutting and drawing.

My vent is that DH got me a Groupon massage. Why not just get a gift certificate/card for the spa in our town that I know is reputable? I'm seriously considering selling it on my local FB yard sale site and using the money to go to the local, reputable spa. I haven't googled the name of the place for the Groupon, but it's almost 30 minutes away, so not at all convenient. What would you do if it was you?
k3am, oh no! Drink lots of fluids and hope you feel better. Maybe your friend will be spared since you have it. Also, hopefully her immune system has already fought it off.
twinmomma, what if he infects the cast? no show at all then. Ugh
oldbaylover1024, Did he forget mother's day like mine? oh wait I found out that mine didn't forget mother's day just didn't acknowledge me for it. He called his mother. . . I woke up upset today too.

xctsclrx - Ugh. We married similar men. I got a card from MH and a card from the kids. I spent the rest of the day solo parenting while he did house projects. The original plan was for us to go out to breakfast, then hit the outlet mall so I could FINALLY get a new bag (I never treated myself to one as a gift to myself for the raise I got in December). But we ended up doing nothing. At all. I cooked for the kids, cleaned the kitchen, and ordered Chinese take-out for my dinner.
And I just started back at work last week, which was a total shit show, so the absence of any 'thank you' for Mother's Day was really... well, I have a lot of feelings today...
ETA: Did I mention he's off for another 4 weeks so he has time to do these house projects another time? No, I didn't? Well, there's that.

oldbaylover1024 and xctsclrx that reminds me of my first Mother's day. I had a 2 week old that hated sleep. DH just went back to work and worked that day. When he got home, I asked him where was my Mother's day gift. He said I wasn't hs mother. He ended up with a sobbing wife rocking a screaming newborn, both inconsolable.
He has never not acknowledged another Mother's day. Sometimes I still bring it up, and he tells his cautionary tale to new fathers.
Ugh...so much sympathy for you mom as who weren't appreciated yesterday. I hope everyone gets to feeling better today!
We had some family drama and had to revise our Mother's Day plans but it actually worked out to be a lot more enjoyable. If people are going to miserable, I have no problem with them staying home. My only vent is that I'm at work and not sitting on the couch snuggling DD.

Sorry about everyone who is sick or had sucky mother's days. Mine was so k. The best part was we got our nanny to babysit so DH and I went out and spent a few hours driving around the city, getting to know the neighbourhoods better, and then had a beer and burger at a pub. It was nice.
This is totally a FWP, but I really want to buy a house, now. I'm sick of living in a rental, even though it's only been 3 weeks. I want to have a yard where I can plant flowers and veggies again. But we just can't seem to find anything we like.
rere26, that sounds horrible but I also couldn't help but laugh. Sounds like your H was just oblivious. I'm not sure my H would have survived that one!
My dad died on Mother's Day, but this year was the first that it didn't hurt a little. I called to talk to my mom, and she spent the entire time talking about how her husband has been in the hospital for 12 weeks (he's out now) and "they are just waiting for the inevitable". Well, yeah, when you marry a guy 12 years older than you after you were widowed the first time, you probably should expect he's going to die before you. He's in his 80s. I know I seem pretty heartless, but I've met this guy 4 times. He's a Trump-supporting dick whose first order of business was making my mom get rid of all pictures with my dad in them. So yeah, he can kick it at any time.
I cooked dinner for us and my MIL, which was my choice. However, I also did the dishes, which annoyed the shit out of me. I cooked a beautiful, delicious meal, ON MOTHERS DAY. The least you assholes could do is get up and wash the dishes while I relax. But no, please continue polishing off your second bottle of wine and chatting while I work.

My husband also used that line and had a similar reaction. He quickly learned the error of his ways.
Man, you guys. I'm sorry. Here's hoping your weeks get better quick.

I would ask the retiring teacher who you should ask for. She will know and since she's retiring will hopefully be candid.
Every year at the local public school all the moms write letters asking for teachers they want or need. It's so common that they have a process and deadline for the letters.
Mothers Day was not great. And I found DD in an unbelievable amount of puke at 2 am. She still couldn't keep anything down this am. I had to call out of work. ....and there are 10 days left in the school year????UGH.
We had a couple of doses of Zofran left from a previous illness so I gave her one. She has since kept down toast and Gatorade. If things keep going well I am going to take her with and do an hour of work in my office. Just can't be in the classroom of course.

I hope all of you that had shitty Mothers Days get a redo and know that you are awesome moms in my book!
After the birthday meltdown of 2015, DH wouldn't dream of forgetting a holiday that acknowledges me. I was especially glad he didn't this year since I've been dealing with PPD this time around.
Sorry to those who weekends sucked :-( I'm down to 4 hours of sick time until July 1 and crossing every finger that it's enough (tho I CAN dip into vac time if I have to).
Vent - I think I'm developing trigger thumb on my right hand. I've been wearing a brace on it for a week, which is helping, but typing is a total PITA. Gah. Also a FWP, I think. At least in this context.
I'm dealing with yet another day of heartbreaking daycare drop offs. DD loves her daycare but for the past week has clung to me and cried at drop-off. Maybe she's sick, maybe it's a new tooth. But gosh darn does it kill my mornings.
