I thought Georgi was warm. She's been fussy all day according to MIL so I took her temp and its 102.4. Everything but the ER is closed and its probably an ear infection...we gave her some Tylenol.
Should I take her to the ER or wait it out to see if we can get it to break and take her in the morning?
I wouldn't go to the ER for a fever of 102.4 (or a higher one unless it wouldn't break). If she's screaming in pain without tylenol, or you have other orders from your doctor or it spikes and stays up, okay. But an er for a typical ear infection seems overkill to me. Think of the germs you'd be exposed to!
Dress her lightly, medicate her for comfort (remember fevers help fight infections so you don't need to remove all fever, just discomfort), and keep an eye on her.
19 pages to catch up on. In the meantime, hi!! It's been a busy day. We had a farewell party, a staff meeting, and a planning meeting. Then I had to leave because Miss B was throwing up and 5 was complaining of a stomach ache. They're in the tub now and seem to be ok. FX it was just a fluke.
Also, creeper is going OCONUS (overseas) for a while and asked if I wanted him to bring me a souvenir. Nope, nope, nope. Then he said he's going to miss me. WTH?
I did ten recipes doubled. I have saved so much on my groceries this month because all meals were perfectly planned to use common ingredients and I didn't waste anything. Not to mention I haven't gone to the grocery store a bazillion times. I personally like doing it myself because I am a control freak and don't like to share!
I am pretty good about meal planning, which is helpful. I only grocery shop once a week. I live too far out of town (about 30 minutes) to shop much more often than that! I guess my biggest issue with doing it myself is that I would have to do it during one of the few days DH and I are both home, so he could keep an eye on DD (the little trouble maker that she is). Usually when he 'keeps an eye on her', he watches her try to climb my legs, or watches her follow me everywhere. Sometimes he's good, but whenever I am actually trying to accomplish something, if I am home, forget it.
I've been super behind in randoms and not commenting but love titting. Sorry for delayed love titting. People are probably wondering wtf I'm doing. Oh well. I had to comment because in yesterday's thread there are so many comments about weird bird people. Ironic since I was sitting in a meeting being briefed on someone I need to get in touch with.... as I'm being filled in, one notable tidbit was "their pet bird sits on their head at all times." I can't imagine. Bird people are weird. I'm so glad I only have to call them and not meet them in person! I wonder if I will be able to hear the bird on the phone...?
Trivia crack is kicking my ass today... not that I'm good usually... but seriously... what word did Shakespeare invent? Does anyone know..? I did not...

Was it Love? I feel like that's something I maybe learned in school, but that seems like a stupid answer. I haven't played for a couple days. I should get back on there.
@mummypic I'm so very sorry, I know how you feel and it's such a shitty feeling to feel like a family member isn't making an effort to have a relationship with our LOs. Just know your love is plenty enough for LO and your dad is the one missing out. It's his loss, not yours or LOs.

The word is... are you ready...
Bump.
Yeah, I wouldn't have guessed that at all. What were the other options?
ivedonethisb4 I'm sorry G isn't feeling well. I would give ibuprofen after 3 hours and continue to check her. Make sure she's dressed in cooler clothes and not fleece.

@mummypig Yes LA!!! But I want to settle in OC.
Dreaming not yet, have a couple of good leads. But complications with my job here have backed me into a corner. It's a long story. The TL;DR is my boss's boss is punishing me for being a single mom with a sick kid and is trying to put me on final write up for missing Monday/Tuesday when L was sick.

I hope that one of the leads turns into something fabulous! Your boss's boss sounds like a jerk.
She is. "But #, if I give you special treatment, everyone will expect it."
Even though I'm one of the best underwriters they have. And have exhausted every avenue to making it work: proposed telecommuting on sick days, flex schedule (xh takes a 1/2 day and me a 1/2 day to share when she's sick). Nope. If I don't work an 8 hour day, it's a strike. Setup for failure IMO.
Sorry your family let you down @mummypig. (((Hugs)))
hashtagrainbow I'll be moving that strongly worded letter to your work up on my to do list. Now that I've finished my balloon wreath, I have nothing but time.

Dreaming she's making an example out of me to the others. We are about to go through a huge reorg in my department and it's going to be sucky, so in the meantime, I'll chuck deuces and hopefully find something better where my heart is.
It's hard to keep up with F14, play Trivia Crack, read up about the actors for Lorelai and Luke not liking each other, and look up videos of Alexis Bledel speaking Spanish all at the same time.
Also, I always feel weird clicking "Fun" after an interesting question on Trivia Crack that deals with something so NOT fun, like bombs in WWII.
I was doing the same until I realized it's not required--you can just hit continue on Trivia Crack.
Hi ladies! Just getting caught up now... we've had a day.
codypup, I like em! I think with a fitted casual top and sandals they're going to be adorable.
HUGS to @elf828, @ivedonethisbefore, @megash and anyone else I missed with sick kiddos.
HUGS to you too, @mummypig. Family just sucks sometimes.
hashtagrainbow, good luck! Sending lots of excellent new job vibes your way.
Today was just... weird.
My mom who watches LO today called me at 630 to tell me she's throwing up and can't watch her. I have a client I see on Thursdays that I haven't seen in a month, so I just couldn't cancel the appt. MH had already left for work, but I called him and he turned around and came home, stayed with LO while I went to have my session a couple hours later, and then he headed off to work while I spent the rest of the day with LO.
We went to the mall to walk around inside and got lunch at a conveyor belt sushi restaurant, which was actually really fun. Pretty sure LO ate her weight in edamame and made friends up and down the mall.
Then we went to Walmart to get a rug and some groceries with a GC. Get home and attempt to put LO down for a nap... which didn't last very long. Realized I forgot one of the bags at the store, and that one happens to contain almost everything I need for dinner tonight. So I called the store to see if anyone found the bag... they put me on hold and never came back. So we schlepped back over there and got the things we needed again.
Came home and made dinner, but start feeling pain in my bad knee... it's swollen and I don't know why. Guess I'm adding "joint pain" to the list of symptoms I'm tracking...
It feels like it's been the longest day ever, though it was also a nice break to hang with LO.
