Furthermore, it's Friday.

tgrimes1980 I would go. Even with Mara's ears being off, if you have to take her, I would. You sister needs you. You won't be able to fix everything, but maybe you can give her a chance to catch her breath. Plus, she will know how much you love and support her.

[trtlcrzy]

tgrimes1980 I would go if you can make it work. I would ask her if she wants you to bring Mara. I think my sister would be disappointed if I went to visit her and didn't bring H.

[cagoldi]

tgrimes1980 I would leave M home and go be with her. I wouldn't take M on a flight with her ears bothering her and you want to focus on your sister rather than try to wrangle a toddler.

[ljgs1010]

Tgrimes if you can sort out Mara at home, I would go. Having the help will be huge for her.

I'm sorry she's going through so much. My H has Chrohns and was sick for years before he got his diagnosis. It's been about a year and a half since he was diagnosed, and he's doing fantastic (where previously he basically couldn't leave the house). If your nephew does have Chrohns, I have my fx that they come up with a treatment plan that makes a huge difference for him! In our experience, figuring out trigger foods is the biggest thing -- it's different for every Chrohns patient, so it can take some time to sort out.

tgrimes1980 - I agree with everyone. If you can get your MIL to help out with M while you're gone, visiting your sister for a few days would be amazing. She has so much on her plate and a little help would go a long way.

[pinkaliphant]

tgrimes1980 I agree with most everyone else, try and leave M at home and head out there and help her deal with things and put together some freezer meals for her. That's so nice of you to want to do that for her she's very lucky to have you as a sister!

mellochello You may have told us in a previous post but how old is the truck?

I am WFH waiting for the HAVC guy to get here. But I"m taking advantage of the time home to catch up on laundry so that's nice.

So does anyone else have toys randomly go off? E has a few that do that and as much as I try to find a logical reason for them to go off I can't. Just now her Little People dollhouse started singing. #possessedtoys

[pinkaliphant]

why can't I tag @mellocello

[pinkaliphant]

@mothereffer - Thanks! That is so weird, he SN that I see is cello...so I went and changed it to chello and it tagged but I still see it as cello even with the tag.

I am 20 pounds away from my goal weight as of today. The end is in sight!

[klongoria11]

pinkaliphant it all depends on how they set up their user name. LizInFL is the same way. She has a b in her user name, but not her visible sn.

Good for you!!!!i need some of your willpower.

[kfran84]

tgrimes1980 You are a great sister. Hopefully you will be the recharge she needs.

I have the opportunity to clean the house kids free, or take a nap.

Do a little cleaning and then nap.

I would tell you to take a nap but I'm hoping you're already sleeping

The comments restore my faith in humanity.

Y'all, I have net battled so many anti-vaxxers this week. I just.can't.quit. I'm holding out hope that someone on the fence reads my posts and decides to vaccinate.

The reality, however, is that anti-vaxxers walk around in tin foil hats spouting conspiracy theories about Big Pharma. It would be funny were it not deadly.

Exactly!!!!! Along with the chem-trails everything is out to get them.  This is my co-worker to a T.  He and his ex-wife also believe that she was abducted and that is how their second child was conceived.

Sorry, but the government doesn't give two shits about you!

Yep...I haven't bothered to ask for the story because I would scream at his insanity.

So, does that mean he's not the father?  I don't get it.


ETA: is that why it's his ex-wife now?

No, somehow they did their alien magic.

Ex-wife now because: they bought a restaurant together and she started sleeping with the cook.   You know, in between homeschooling their two children.

Seems legit.

[klongoria11]

I'm still at work. How is it only 3 oclock?

[bostonmama1978]

tgrimes1980 -- I would go, without M if at all possible. If you can't/really don't want to leave her home, take her and go anyway.

I've had some family situations where sometimes you just have to help without asking.

So sorry for your sister. You will do good for her just by being there.

It's Chello

Yeah, it's weird. Her SN shows at Cello but to tag her you need to include the H...

[cagoldi]

untaggablekatie I don't miss working in the office. So many weirdos.

That takes the cake though. Dude watched too many X-Files episodes.

[leopardgurl831]

@mx2 hope she fells better soon! Poor baby

@mothereffer hope the boys feel better soon! My vote is light brown

tgrimes1980 I would definitely go to your sister.

Almost time to go home for me! Going to pick up the boy and then going to the powersports store. I plan on looking for a kids snowmobile for him while I am picking up parts. I am convinced he needs it! BIL is awesome and asked if he could bring LM to a bounce house tomorrow, so DH and I are going to the movies :-)

[klongoria11]

holy crap! I just got my tax refund deposited. That was quick. This makes my day SIGNIFICANTLY better!

[Cherhorowitz]

Hi. I am trying to do a million things at once today and failing at all of them. The boy is finally napping and I need to clean this mess but I just want to curl up in a ball. At least I can drink tonight.
