Hey, random. It's the weekend.

[sweetsurprise]

My mom is doing much better. We saw her cardiologist while she was in town and they just modified her medications. Thanks for asking!

DD isnt saying more than mama, dada, baba and ohhhhh lol

MIL is taking dd over night tonight and H and I have a date night! I can't wait!!

A's favorite word is Oooooooohhhhh. He does say daddy (daddeeeee) more than mama he also says what we think is uh oh and hi. Although he doesn't use either at the correct time, but it's so cute who would care!

Woke up at 3 feeling icky. I blame the stupid crazy bread. I'm meeting a friend for mexican in about an hour, so I'm hoping that makes me feel better.
Oh no sweetsurprise, I hope M is over it quick!
meagpt22, I'm jealous!! I love crab so much, I could eat it so often it's not even funny.
supplycloset, Those are damn good reasons to politely decline. A child being miserable is not worth trying to make your family happy.

It looks like our landlord probably bought the wrong type of air conditioner so DH couldn't install it. Our place is so hot. I think we'll just take dd to my moms and end up staying there tonight too. Such a pain in the ass.

Lame! Definitely stay somewhere with AC. When our was broken I was so stressed about DS overheating.

Being hot sucks, but being that hot inside your house is just miserable. I hope it gets resolved soon!

My great grandpa passed away this morning. He has been on hospice care since May and has been on a lot of medicine to help pain. I can't take the time off to go to the funeral (tues) because Monday is the first day of school and I work with students who have autism do that would not be good. I do have to work with my mom to get my LO to someone by a certain time Monday bc she needs to go up to the wake by a certain time (it's her grandpa). LO and I are at SIL house so he can play with his cousins. Tonight I'm babysitting a 5 and 2 year old that I watched all summer. DH comes home tomorrow

[jellykat2]

Thanks lads. Landlord just came up and I think it's working now. I hope so because it would be so much easier not to have to pack everything. All I want is to stop being so sweaty!

[jellykat2]

irishprncss19 - sorry about your great grandpa

So sorry to hear that, and that you will be unable to go for the service. T&Ps.

[meagpt22]

irishprncss19 sorry about your great grandpa and not being able to attend services.

[meagpt22]

My moms friends mother passed this afternoon. So thankfully that she went peacefully and quickly.

[meagpt22]

PW alert: crab party wasn't so bad..DD slept for 45 minutes while we are crabs..so easier than expected. However she's screaming in her car seat now..we have a 2 hr ride home so hopefully she settles and sleeps.

[kellrr]

So, if you had asked me this morning what would be a perfect way to spend the day, I would have described the day I have had so far. It has been fantastic. And the best part: shopping and buying clothes 2 sizes smaller than what I've been wearing, and a size I haven't worn in 6 years+. Putting on my regular clothes that are super baggy was depressing afterwards. Oh, and PSA: huge sale at Loft this weekend.
We're headed to the softball game in a little bit to round out the day.

Thanks for all the thoughts! they scheduled the wake the night before so I'm hoping to make it up there for that. When my great grandma passed in September they did the wake and service all in one.

I know I should give in and let MIL try again. We have tried probably 5 times to leave just for dinner. DD screams bloody murder and choking crying when we leave. She is always doing the same thing when we walk in the door- not crying because we are home but obviously has been crying for an extended period of time. Like her clothes are wet from tears. MIL just says oh she didn't cry the entire time and crying is good for her. She would never tell us the truth if DD cried the entire time or how much she actually cried. I've caught her in so many lies that truly only a nanny cam in every room would tell us the truth.
Needless to say, we did NOT go out to dinner tonight

I get where you are coming from. I wouldn't voluntarily leave DS if I knew he would be hysterical the whole time I was gone. It sounds to me like you need to have a "Come to Jesus" talk with DH and get a united front. It's unfair for you to be the bad guy. If he refuses to just cut her out (which seems likely) then say you need the nanny cam to feel comfortable leaving DD with her, even for a trial. That's a hard pill to swallow for anyone who has a moderately amicable relationship with their parent (because it implies that they are untrustworthy), but if that's really how you feel, then I think it's a fair, harmless step. You can even tell MIL that you have the camera for security, rather than keep it from her. I think MrsTinMKE got a nanny cam a while back to watch her nanny. I don't remember what happened.

I've been up since 5 but I got DS to take his medicine without throwing up. So I'm pretty happy. Remember sleeping till 10 am? That was so sweet.

Is he feeling any better. Hope you get a long nap in today.

I used to. That feels so long ago. Oh wait, it was.

[kellrr]

Sleep regression is real at our house, too. We have another fun day planned, so it's unlikely I will nap. We're doing some packing, then heading to a music festival. I think we'll stop at Carter's on the way to get a few new things for DS.

[jellykat2]

DH got up with dd this morning. When I finally got up dd came in our bedroom and saw me. She screamed mama in excitement and pretty much tried to run towards me with a huge smile on her face. My heart nearly exploded.

Not much going on today. I have to do some meal planning and go grocery shopping. Will probably clean some too.

[sweetsurprise]

kellrr let me know what you buy so I can get the same thing for our twinsies.
jellykat2 SO adorable.

I just had a nice two hour nap and now we are headed to 'meet the teacher' at ds's daycare.
