tiffbot I'm laughing at your husband sleeping in his car the whole time!
So I normally get to sleep very well but last night was one of those nights I laid there with my brain racing until like, 2am and he was snoring the whole time so I'm pretty sure I was just dream mad at him lol
mrsmonogrammed and jessila here's DD's war wound from a couple weeks ago. She fell off our bed and bumped her head on our dresser on the way down. The confession part is, I didn't even notice this scrape until the next day because she just had a short cry and was fine again and her hair was down so I didn't even notice until I put it up the next day. I felt so bad!
Question for STMs or anyone else who knows. Good headphones for kids? DS will be taking a tablet on the plane and I'm just now realizing he's going to need headphones, right?
LBB has a pea-head, so I was mostly concerned with finding a small pair. He has a pair by Califone that fit him well.
So, it looks like his right ear is infected and he still has the HFM in his throat. Going to call the ENT to confirm treatment but it looks like we'll be doing ear drops and pumping him with Tylenol and Motrin.
H and I also got into a stupid fight because he told me we didn't need to go to the doctor, it was a waste of a trip, just give him the drops. I told him that I needed confirmation before we left and that he shouldn't make me feel bad for getting our kid checked out. Today sucks.
Poor V! I feel you on wanting to know 100% for sure though what's wrong before you leave. When DS had his pink eye last week, H asked me if we still just had the goop from last time to put on him. I told him I didn't really want to put prescription medication onto/into my one-year old without being positive it was the right thing (since in our case, his eye wasn't red, just crusty). Hopefully things get better on all fronts now, though.

My H just texted me a picture of a Kinder Egg that someone left on his desk randomly at work. If that egg doesn't make it home, it's grounds for divorce, right?
budders I'm sorry. DH and often get into little fights before travel because we're both a bit tense in anticipation of the trip. Hopefully your day gets better.

So my H, whose idea it was to move to Alaska, where we arrived yesterday after two weeks of driving has lost his shit. This man has had a epic meltdown and now doesn't know if we've done the right thing....I don't even know how to handle this, it all just seems surreal at this point.
heartofglass, what caused his freak out? Any one thing in particular?
budders, Man, I hope V can catch a break soon and get better!
Numerous things: the house wasn't perfectly how he had pictured it. He was hot and there isn't AC installed. It's raining. He doesn't have a job lined up for the summer because he didn't apply to any before we moved and now feels at a loss. Oh and he says he moved just to make me happy.

heartofglass, yikes! It kind of sounds like he is hopefully just having a temporary freak out. Hopefully he will calm down and things will look better to him soon.

We were up waaaay too early today and now our schedule is totally messed up. Maybe we will get a 2nd nap in today though.
J is pretty much walking on his own, but holds his arms up/out while doing so. I'm assuming for balance? Or maybe he thinks that's how he has to walk since he is used to reaching up for our hands to walk? It's kind of funny because he looks like a monster coming after you.
I've been getting messages from one of my managers this morning asking why one of the people at the station I was working at had an HOS violation. Uhh, how the heck am I supposed to know they had one? I have almost no access in their system, nor am I a manager.

Hugs budders. Glad you took him in and got it figured out. Hopefully he is feeling better soon.
Hugs heartofglass hoping your H settles down. I imagine things just hit him all at once as to what was happening and once things start to fall into place, it will be better.
Post by heartofglass on Jun 27, 2016 12:10:22 GMT -5
Thanks y'all. I'm hoping he settles down too in the next few days. I know it's a shock. It is for all of us, but the way he came undone when we actually arrived was semi-ridiculous. It didn't quell any of my fears of transitioning to a SAHM.

Monday needs to fuck off. T was 104.5 at 2am. Cue the Motrin. He slet like crap, so I did too. Up at 7:30. Fussed all morning. More Motrin at 10am. Nursed Slept 10 minutes. Awake and whiny. I made the kids blueberry breakfast cake. They are helping themselves to that and whipped cream while T tries to scratch my face off. ETA I've had no caffiene and am not dressed yet. It's 10:35.

heartofglass, I'm sorry your H is freaking out. Mine has occasional freak outs about our upcoming move, and it's three miles down the road. Such a big life change is always tough, but hopefully he settles in soon and is happy with the change. wegrowsheep, ugh. That is a tough morning. Hope you get some caffeine soon, and hope T feels better soon!
Post by heartofglass on Jun 27, 2016 13:24:51 GMT -5
Thanks jillywilly I hope your move goes smooth when it does happen. Things seem a little better already today. Stressful doesn't even begin to describe moving.
Oh I hope you at least get some caffeine soon wegrowsheep and Monday flies by.

budders I think you already know you did the right thing, but I'm sorry your H is giving you grief. Our LOs are just too young to pump full of medicine without smoking of medical guidance. heartofglass I'm sure your H will come to his senses soon. When DH is being ridiculous like that, I send him on a walk with DD or on s trip to the store to clear his head.
Post by billyhorrible on Jun 27, 2016 13:44:55 GMT -5
Oh budders, I'm so sorry you're still dealing with this. Both suck. Poor V.
heartofglass, this is such a huge life change. I don't think it's so surprising your husband is having second thoughts. I'm sorry it seems like he's taking it out on you though. Such a tough situation. I'm sure he'll come around.
Thanks billyhorrible for the Califone rec! I found some on amazon but I'm having my sister check at her work to see if they sell them there. Hopefully they do and I don't have to pay shipping! Check, one more thing off the vacation list. It's almost the 2 week countdown...

I've managed to get clothes on, and make my chai (iced). I also slept for a good 20 minutes. Kids are watching movies and chores outside are done. T is sleeping, but not for very long stretches , so I'm hanging out for the nap duration. Take that, ambition.
budders I hope everything still goes smoothly for your trip!
heartofglass I hope once you guys get settled in that your H will snap out of it and things will get better. Moving sucks and is stressful, especially a big move like that! Hugs

Rest rest rest... It will be ok! It's way too early to evaluate whether you did the right thing! I know you know that, but all you can do is tell your DH it will be ok and encourage him not to jump to conclusions. I'm sure you're all really worn out!
I let LO pick out the toy she wanted when she returned her duplicate toy and apparently she wanted every toy on the shelf at target, haha. She picked out two toys and three books and I had a lot of fun letting her play!
She's too small for the carts at target, though. I always have our cart cover but forgot it at home today. Poor girl kept siding down so the strap was pinning her in!
