Wacky Wednesday...randoms

[babyw15]

Post away!

[megpie5]

I'm at a mental health workshop today, which I originally signed up for to get some tools for helping my students. However now I'm feeling like I'll benefit from it too, life has been crazy lately and I've felt anxious for the first time in years since going back to work.

Happy hump day everyone!

[BabyStandish]

megpie5 have fun at the workshop!

We were supposed to get some bad storms last night, but it was just rain and lightning which is good. I don't mind a good storm, but not when it's dark outside.

Headed to MOPS in an hour or so. I made some strawberry banana oat muffins for today's meeting. They are pretty good. DH and I tested them out last night.

[laceysbryan]

BabyStandish We got some bad weather up here, and I spent about 20 minutes in the closet hoping my power stayed on. Luckily it did, but of course all this happened at 10:30, which is past my bedtime.
I'd say give me the coffee, but I got my Invisalign retainers yesterday so no coffee for me unless I want to go brush and floss again afterwards.
megpie5 Enjoy that workshop! Sounds like something I could use too!

[laceysbryan]

DH and LO made it to LA yesterday and he sent me some super cute beach pics I'll have to AW later. Of course he let him stay up much later than I would have, but I'm not there so I'm trying not to be a control freak about it.
I'm hoping the day goes by quickly because I feel like I need to be active today and sitting at my desk just isn't going to cut it.

[babyw15]

Ladies I woke up this morning with nausea!!! First thing hubby says is "are you pregnant"?...like seriously I couldn't just have the flu or eaten something bad!! I sucked it up and came into work so I could get LO to DC for the day...but now I am thinking about leaving work for a little while...thing is I might have to come back to work later...I don't want to leave LO at DC but if I have to come back to work I would have to take him back to DC...so pleas help me to not feel guilty leaving him there while I go home and rest for a bit!!

[bkmama0]

babyw15 rest and feel better!
laceysbryan I'm definitely getting spring fever at work and want to be out and doing stuff too. Boo.
BabyStandish we used to get thunderstorms all spring and summer back in ATL. I actually really miss it. Here in NY you get the occasional downpour, but no rumbly thunder and foreboding grey clouds. Weird the things you miss.
megpie5 enjoy the workshop. It sounds enlightening

[bkmama0]

More IL drama, they are not speaking to us. Because they want to babysit Ch and take over both Mothers Day and DH's bday. Without asking. And when we asked for a compromise they started calling DH crazy, mean, rude. And "jokes" like "I love you guys... But not DH lol". Like wtf. DH thinks they'll drive up and then show up whenever they want anyway while they stay with other relatives. He may have to put his foot down and not see them bc omg how disrespectful. I feel bad for him. He doesn't get much respect from his fam and idk why. Like when we first started dating his mom and sister took me out for coffee and insulted the shit out of him to me, then were like "we're sorry you have to deal with him". Well he's actually very kind, sweet, hard working, loyal, and loving? grr. The thing is, I don't mind his family most of the time. But then out of nowhere their ugly side comes out when you least expect it.

[bkmama0]

Also happy Bagel Wednesday! Makes working here that much more tolerable

[nemomof2]

megpie5, Glad you are getting something out of the workshop for yourself.
BabyStandish, Yum strawberry banana.
laceysbryan, Its all rainy here today, so I have no motivation.
bkmama0, Wow, that is really mean, and crazy. Hope you can talk some sense into them. Sorry you have to deal with that.

[nemomof2]

Not much planned here today. It rainy again, so no outside work getting done again today. I was really motivated to make some new things for the shop yesterday, but didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted. I was going to AW but I am on desktop and have no idea how to post a picture on desktop.

Another Random: It just hit me that they have had to start the 2017 BMB. That is just crazy!

[ashlantic]

Happy things: - Lo slept in til 7!
-He actually ate breakfast without fussing and spitting everything out. Appetite returning maybe?
-Dh comes home tonight
-Went on a mini shopping spree on Etsy last night

Unhappy things: -Now I want to buy ALL the things on Etsy. Lol
-Lo pooped in the tub this morning. Womp womp.

megpie5 sounds interesting! I'd love to hear some tidbits of what you learned.
@those muffins sound delicious! Glad the weather didn't turn severe for you guys.
laceysbryan ugh, sorry for the stormy, late night.
babyw15 no shame in getting some rest! Feel better!
bkmama0 I'm sorry you're caught up in all that drama. On the plus side, your bagel looks amazing.
nemomof2 2017 BMB's?? That is crazy to think about! And rainy days make for good lazy days sometimes!

[kcrus]

megpie5 that sounds interesting. I think everyone at my job could use a day at that course!

BabyStandish yummmm. If you have time can you share the recipe?

laceysbryan oof. Sounds like a long night.

babyw15 feel better and rest up. LO will be fine at DC.

bkmama0 IL stuff is super hard. I'm sorry. My H became estranged from his parents a few years ago- they had similar behaviors that were INFURIATING. It's not why he wound up estranged (that is a long, really sad story) but it is a nice side benefit. I don't miss them at all but I know it makes my H sad. I hope things can get straightened out- it's hard to have family drama.

nemomof2 it's so great that your shop is doing so well!

ashlantic boo for the tub poo but yay for YH coming home and getting to sleep in. That's heaven.

sgio7485 (I hope I got that tag right- I'm on mobile) how's your little? Been thinking of you guys.

littlelion how you feelin, mama?

ourcrazynavylife any word on the house?

AFM, I had to call out today. I'm still doubled up in pain from my cyst. I am considering going back to the ED but I realllllllllly don't want to. I want to be able to stay home. I hate the ED!

[nemomof2]

ashlantic, I spend way too much time on etsy, and its not because I have a shop on there either I love all the things!
kcrus, So sorry that you are still in pain, hopefully you can just stay home and rest and not have to go back to the ED. Get to feeling better!

[ourcrazynavylife]

kcrus hope you feel better lady

We decided to go ahead and put the extra money down. We're getting the house for less than the original offer which means lower mortgage each money.
This whole thing is crazy. We never had this much trouble when we bought on the east coast.

We have to actually get ready soon. I have to go in and sign my fitrep and I don't have anyone to watch lo because I just found out yesterday.

I think I'm either secretly bottling up a shit ton of stress and/or need a chiropractor adjustment. I've been getting headaches like every day.

[littlelion]

kcrus, Feeling ok.  I'd say good but nausea just reared it's ugly head.  I had another appt this morning.  Baby's heartbeat is nice and strong at 148! I'll be 7 weeks tomorrow. Once I get past my loss milestone of 9 wks I can really celebrate!  The ultrasound also picked up what can either be a bleed or a cyst. Not sure what that means. I'm not spotting yet.  

+1 for not wanting to be at work. I can't concentrate. It's pretty darn cold outside so no desire to be out and about.  

BabyStandish, yes, do share that muffin recipe! sounds good and healthy. 

ashlantic, yay for getting your hubby back! boo to poop in the tub. 

[nemomof2]

Here is going to be the newest addition to the shop. I also have a faux vegan metallic leather on order that I am going to be using and I can't wait until it gets here! I went a little crazy fabric shopping

I haven't had a chance to read any since I posted about leaving. So I ended up getting sick at work so I had to get someone to cover and then daycare called and said that LO was limping and crying when he walked. So I made an appointment to have him seen. I didn't think there was anything wrong and I was right. Peds said he is fine. Oh and she checked his ears at the same time. They are great!!! So I debated going back to work because I felt better after I got sick at work. But decided against it. So I picked up McDonald's (not the norm for us LO has maybe had it a handful of times) but man how come it tastes so good when your belly isn't feeling good. We are gonna snuggle on the couch and watch Frozen!!!

Haha well its not as sweet as a lot of muffins so I'd say it's healthy

[ashlantic]

kcrus oh no, I'm sorry you're still in so much pain! Hope you start feeling better ASAP!
ourcrazynavylife glad things worked out with the house! As for the headaches- are your neck and shoulders tight? I get tension headaches when my shoulders are super tight and the pain kinda creeps up my neck and the back of my head. Headaches are no fun, especially daily ones! Hope you can figure out what's causing them.
littlelion yay for another good appt, but boo to the morning sickness.
nemomof2 those are adorable!
babyw15 enjoy your afternoon snuggles! Hope you continue to feel ok.

Anyone heard from kml218 lately? Wonder how her and Z are doing.

[babyw15]

Since we are wondering about people. What about the momma whose little boy is Cole. He name is tomorrowisanotherday (or something like that). She was going back to work. So was just wondering how she is.

[ourcrazynavylife]

ashlantic they are. I carry all of my tension/stress whatever in my shoulders. They're always full of knots.

Ugh, it's the worst! I think that's where I store all my tension. Yoga helps a bit, but maybe I should schedule a massage for Mother's Day...

[sgio7485]

Thanks for thinking of us kcrus.
We are hanging in there but LO is absolutely miserable. My life right now:

Poor little man is still a rash from head to toe and only sleeping like naps, waking tons during the night. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Oh man. I'm sorry. Have you tried an oatmeal bath to soothe his skin?

We did one last night and he loved it so we will repeat tonight! He was screaming when I tried to use his normal lotion (unscented for sensitive and eczema prone skin) like it burned so I didn't do lotion- any suggestions anyone for something soothing and won't make his skin burn?

This is hell.

sgio7485 you can always try coconut oil
