Mid May Randomness

[littleredfish]

Tuesday and still no weekly thread. Gasp! You ladies, better not be leaving me here.

I drove my mom and sister to the airport this morning. My kids were not impressed at being woken up, but I managed to lure them back into the house from the car with doughnuts like the Mommy Pied Piper. Then I put on Princess and the Frog and they passed out again. It's beautiful out but today it pretty much a down day. They are all tired and off schedule. Need to get back to real life, not grandma spoiling life.

I'm sleepy....

I thought the Mother's Day thread was our weekly random! Whoops.

[leviosa]

littleredfish, I call this time de-granny-fying. Lol, my kids are crazy after my mom leaves.

My DC called today to let me know that C wasn't himself and being grumpy, not eating as much as he usually does at lunch and fell asleep right away at nap time (which isn't usual for him).
I was so confused as to what I was supposed to do w that info.... was he just toddlering or is he on the brink of an illness? I dunno, he seems fine at home, other than just a bit more clingy.

[whatsit]

Ya. G has an evil new "trick". He'll be about to do something he's not supposed to, I say "G, no" and kinda shake my head at him. He looks up at me, gives an evil little smile and then nods and does it anyway.

Sigh.

This happens here too. Or she will shake her head repeating no, then do it anyways. Kids.

It is supposed to be almost 90 here today so I'm hoping we will have a chance to bring out the water table. I know that both girls will love playing in it.

DD2 has had a runny nose now for a little over a week, no other symptoms so I'm thinking maybe it's these last few teeth coming in?.

whatsit, I get the evil smirk or the totally innocent, huge puppy dog eyes - then he continues with whatever he's doing.

Man, my appt with my MFM last night brought this pregnancy back to reality for me. I've felt fine and my BP is under control with meds but she kept saying you're soo high risk with soo many high risk factors. I walked out of that appointment saying there is no way I'm getting pregnant again!!

[sunfrogger88]

Haiii! I'm not leaving. I'm just busy with school and work. DH is visiting his buddy so I'm solo parenting for the week too.... Yeaaaa

[fuzzylogic]

Yesterday was my last day at the school for this year. We were done early! E got to hang out with me there for a little bit. I think she's hitting the stranger-danger phase because she gave everyone the side-eye, even people she normally loves.

It was crazy windy but I took her to a playground by a lake we haven't been to before. I'll have to take her back on a better day because it was really nice!

I'm deep into my state teacher of the year application. The questions are awful. So vague, they either give you too much or not enough space to answer them...ugh.

[colinsfebmommy]

yummeecookee, are you picking him up early?

My LO just woke up with pink eye. Lovely. Of course it has to be during the time she going through and 18 m evil tantrum throwing moment.

That was yesterday and we did not get him early.  He's been there all day today and I havent had any calls. So I guess it was just a one-off thing.

Sorry to hear about the pink eye!

I got ours out this pay week along with the pool. The kids loved it! We spent 2 hours outside and the kids never left the water.

[yummeecookee]

I noticed C has a bottom molar coming in, so that would explain some things.

If we all lived closer we could just form our own solo parenting mommy commune

I would probably be there the most because, well, I solo parent on the regular.

According to MHs boss I'll now be solo parenting at least 6m on 6m off until were posted again...not counting training. I might forget what his face looks like. Apparently he's growing a beard atm.

House renos are almost done and unpacking is almost done except the basement and guest room. Now it's time to shop for extra things that we need like blinds for DS's rooms. The sun is rising at like 5:30am and setting at 9:30pm right now - so we need some black out blinds for the bedrooms. The kids didn't fall asleep until 10:00pm last night.

Guise. If you've missed the State of the Forum thread that WAS pinned at the top (and is now in About Us or whatever it's called), shit went down. Many of us are probably leaving.

MANY are creating accounts at Scary Mommy. Quick before your name is gone!!

[sunfrogger88]

So I'm wfh today so I can take Emma to the ped.im pretty sure she has pink eye. It's been a rough week solo parenting. And I'm not looking forward to my H being home because after he hangs out with his BFF he becomes a huge asshole. Ugh.

Yeah, in a month from now, the sun will go down close to 11:00. I don't have curtains on all the windows in my room yet, so I'm wearing an eye mask.  It's really hard to convince the kids that it's bed time, lol.

[littleredfish]

younglove316 I was thinking of you at our 18m appointment today and the oddly specific milestone list you were given at yours. This was ours. It made me feel pretty good. I even asked about the "20 words" like HOW clear was clear, and she just kind of waved her hand and said "well just don't count words or sounds that aren't similar to the actual word that only you know". I took that like I can count "dod" as "dog" but not "may" for "banana" even though I know that's what she wants. So she has 20 words that way easy.

[younglove316]

littleredfish I would have definitely had more yes on this one. He did tell me communication wise, she's bottom level of normal but still normal so he isn't concerned yet. I'm supposed to give her another three months and then call him if she hasn't had her language explosion yet.
