Wednesday schmendsday

[doglover31]

I wasn't around much yesterday, but I'm going to try to be today!

The MIL saga continues.... Yesterday I got a call from H around 4:30. He just got home and I had 6 or 7 bug bites on him. From what we don't know. One on his wrist was swollen to the size of a golf ball, and others were big too. She didn't even notice any of that on him!! How is my child having that bad of a reaction to an insect bite and you don't realize it? We gave him Benadryl and the bites went down in size, but I really think he was having an allergic reaction to the bites. We are both so mad at her, what if that had been on his neck? It could have affected his breathing. Ugh, luckily H is now off for the summer starting today so he will be in his hands instead of hers.

@adulruna how is your first week back going?

[melw629]

doglover31 yikes that's scary! From what I understand, sensitivity to bug bites like that is fairly common for young kids, and rarely if ever leads to anaphylaxis or a more serious reaction. Benadryl is definitely the right choice. Hydrocortisone cream on the bites themselves can help too. It might not hurt to see if the pedi has any other suggestions, or thinks something more is going on.

[doglover31]

melw629 I plan on mentioning the reaction at his next routine appointment since he seems to be doing ok today. H has an allergy to bug bites and has to have an epi pen so I'm kind of freaked out when it comes to any reaction like that.

Sorry it's been a crappy start back to work.

I'm not really feeling today. It's raining and yucky out. Dentist in a little bit. The girls are going with us so that should be fun.

Dentist with 2u2 sounds terrible....I hope it goes ok!

Good Morning Ladies! We are launching a new initiative at work so have been swamped with that. Zoom meeting yesterday for almost 2 hours from home, ugh, thank god H was napping. Another 2 hour meeting this morning here in the office, shoot me now!

doglover31, H got 2 bug bites, 1 on each arm that really swelled up and I got nervous but like melw629 said the nurse said its pretty common for them to swell at this age and benadryl or hydro cream was suggested. I understand being nervous though if your H has that much of a reaction to it.

N40Mom, please do post some hot guy pics. I'm still crazy busy at work, and seeing hotties will make my day go by faster.

@adulruna,I hope things start to get better at work for you.

doglover31, thank goodness your H is in charge now! Your MIL sounds... special.

melw629, Hi!!!

@lildiamondeyes, good luck at the dentist. I haven't had to bring L to any appts with me...yet.

jt2378, how in the world did you luck out with H napping during your meeting. My universe doesn't work that way. I've only kept L home with me in an emergency, but every damn time, it has ruined my work day...

[doglover31]

jt2378 boo to long meetings. They suck

N40Mom the gun debate is very depressing. The news is just full of bad news.

judyblume14 special is putting it nicely for MIL.

[jt2378]

judyblume14, Yes I have no idea what the hell I would have actually done if she wasn't sleeping? A video meeting with a crazy toddler running around and screaming? LOL oh hi boss, look how work from home works at the JT household, lol Definitely dodged a bullet with that one.

@kait20122014, sorry your feeling lousy, POAS time??

[jt2378]

Oh and I'm completely panicking because when H woke up this morning, I noticed what looked like a small cut on her lip but now I'm so paranoid I infected her with herpes since I had that cold sore last week? I was so careful not to kiss her or anything so I really really hope its just a cut. UGH

@adulruna, trying to figure out what works best with working and balancing family really sucks. I know we have taken a hit with me working less hours, I'm making at least a couple hundred less a month than I was but in the scheme of things, I am so happy to be able to spend the time with her even if the money thing totally blows.

[doglover31]

@kait20122014sorry you are feeling bad. Hope you feel better soon.

[judyblume14]

pssst - post counts got jumbled. @giamia923 isn't silver anymore

[judyblume14]

[judyblume14]

@adulruna, sorry charlie. All mine.

[doglover31]

[jt2378]

I will say I do like being platinum now!

[jt2378]

N40Mom, FX its not HFM! that would suuuuccck...

[jt2378]

Agree with @adulruna, they are most contagious in the early stages! Uggghh

thanks for all the hotties, definitely helping this day go by nicely

[jt2378]

N40Mom, your not crazy, I don't think you would be overstepping at all, you have a right to ask IMO

[jt2378]

@100poppies, sorry, that sounds so rough, hope he feels better soon. I'm not looking forward to the last molars

[jt2378]

I see a trend here N40Mom: Dark hair, green eyes, that is MH's combo and I love it!

Haha, did Leap Year this year really rock his world @adulruna ?

@100poppies , I think that's exactly what they're thinking. Thanks everyone for confirming that I'm not being silly about this. I think I'll talk to the teachers/the director at drop off tomorrow morning.

Haha, jt2378 , I'm glad you're enjoying it. That is actually not my type at all, it just so happens these guys keep finding themselves in my Google search.

What's your type?

He's a soap opera actor though so that's a turn off...

@100poppies ugh sorry about the molars!

We are only here to gaze at him.  

Good Point! lol

[spacedcadet]

Hello. We decided to go to the zoo this morning and it was HOT! G seemed to enjoy it though. He took forever to get down for his nap though but he finally went to sleep about an hour ago.

I don't know who any of those hot guys are.

Boo for molars and HFM

France just scored in the 90th minute.

[spacedcadet]

Also, I am gold now.

[melw629]

@lildiamondeyes if the instructor is wearing colorful pants too, then you're in good company! Bet everyone else is regretting wearing their boring pants.

@100poppies sorry about the 2 year molars! That sounds awful.

C ate a vegetable!! He was having so much fun with his fork at dinner that he ended up with a big mouthful of carrots and bell pepper before he realized it. He might have even swallowed some!!!! He also tried broccoli. DH and I were scared to move and ruin the moment. This is a huge deal for the kid who will only eat frozen fruit, select carbs, and meat only if you call it sausage.
