Whine.....too bad I don't like wine

[jwill]

I can't win for losing lately :-(

Sarah had her adenoids removed / 3rd set of tubes put in last Monday. Proceeded to run a fever every afternoon / night until Friday they finally said bring her in. She was diagnosed with pnemonia and I had to take her back Saturday. Saturday they said bring her back today.

No fever since Friday and she seems fine so I sent her to daycare today. I called this morning at 9 and they gave me a 11:15 appt to follow up and check her lungs. I get a call the my son has pooped through his clothes and does not have extra pants (MOTY). I get off of work, rush like crazy to get him pants, get sarah and get to the pedi on time and....they are running 2 HOURS behind.

How does that happen by 11am?? So, they said come back at 1:45 and I am home for the day.

My foster son has and infected ear canal. (don't ask how this happens because i have no idea) They have Amerigroup insurance (I hate them with ever fiber of my being) and they wont pay anything for any of the drops the dr prescribed and won't talk to me about what our options are because I am a foster parent and not his legal guardian (DFCS is technically his guardian even though he has lived with me for 19 mths.) I am stuck either paying $$$ out of pocket for the drops or pouring an alcohol/ vinegar solution  in his ear (which is an infected open sore basically). The alcohol / vinegar is supposed to work well it just sucks because it hurts him :-(


I need to learn to drink.....off to get a Dr. Pepper for now.


Anyone else want to quit 2015 with me? So far it has been one fail after the other...this is just the past week.

We bought a house in December of 2014, before selling our condo.

Had an offer on the condo, it was badly prepared(had someone else's name on it). While waiting to get internet installed (took a month) and the pns fixed, the buyers retracted the offer saying they list faith in me. Did I mentioned that they made the offer on a Friday and it wasn't fixed until Sunday, but the retracted on Monday?

Then we go and spend some time cleaning what the woman I paid $250 to clean, missed and chaning lightbulbs and things for a showing on Saturday and an open house yesterday.

The buyer who requested the showing never showed up and my realtor cancelled the open house because her street hadn't been plowed.

So we are stuck waiting for at leadt another week. I really just want a decent offer from someone serious.

Sorry for both of you. I hate dealing with sick babies because you feel like there isn't anything you can do for them and I hate dealing with buying and selling of houses!

[sagen]

Hugs to you both!

My 10 year old daughter might need her adenoids removed. She has been snoring bad lately, and waking up with a headache. She has snored a little in the past but it has gotten crazy. Last night we moved her into my room with a blow up mattress, she snored really bad all night long. I called the ENT and asked if there was any chance we could get in sooner, her appt is still ten days away. They put me on a cancelation list so I have been willing my phone to ring. Hopefully they can get her in. After hearing her all night it is bad. I feel like an awful mother, not sleeping with her I didn't realize she snored so bad. She started getting headaches when she woke up, and that tipped me off on sleep problems, that and she is hard to wake in the morning, and her under eye circles are darker than usual.

Jwill, hope it gets better soon.

Sagen, hope you get the call you want.

Having sick kiddos is awful.

[summer]

Youch...that is a rough day for all of you. :-( Hope things start turning around soon!

[jwill]

I am sorry sagen and auntiemaimee I hope things turn around. Trying to switch houses is always stressful.

sagen I hope they can work her in and removing adenoids works for her.

My good news for the day was that when we were finally seen the said her lungs were better

I just want February to be over. Historically, January and February are a bad time of year for us and the pattern is continuing. Two years ago DH's truck broke down and we had to buy a new car (with a car payment) the same week DD was born. And for at least a couple months after she was born, I was depressed and struggling with BF'ing so that sucked.

Last year at this time DH was severely depressed and in the midst of job issues that didn't resolve until July. Our car that we JUST BOUGHT blew a head gasket 3 days later and we spent tons of time and money fixing it. Then our dog, who had fear-related aggression her whole life, bit DD and we had to put her down. It was one of the most traumatic things we ever went through since DH's family was very unsupportive and basically threatened to disown us.

This year, the same car we bought last year started having head gasket problems AGAIN and was not worth fixing, which means we had to trade it in and now we have another car payment, which puts us on a tight budget right when we're trying to save money to move. And now DH has me worried that he won't pass his committee review for his job this week because he doesn't have any work experience in the specific field of engineering that he's teaching (even though his degree covers it). I just have this apprehensive bad feeling because of all the crap we always seem to encounter for some reason in the winter...

kleigh926, I hope things work out with your DH's job. Sorry this is such a rough time of year for you.

2015 has not been great so far. Constant sickness in this house, DS has napped once this week and figured out how to get out of the crib (already flipped because he climbed out the low side), and one of the doctors made me cry at work last night. Oh, and tmi vulvar vaginal veins are in full force already and I'm having so much vag pressure already at only 19wks.

Today was a bit better - got DS in his Thomas toddler bed and he went down so easy tonight. And one of the other nurses I work with called to tell me she talked to management about the doctor and has taken full responsibility for what the doctor blames on me. The shepherds pie I made for dinner as a last second meal turned out great. Now I'm relaxing and enjoying the time before Mac wakes up and comes to our bed.

It's just been a rainy cold monday. Blahh. Our dinner plans fell through (were eating with ILs) so we ended up with pizza at home. Which was way better

[sjames2015]

Just in a mood today. I've figured that I never really became attached to the last pregnacy because I knew something wasn't right. Which explains why I'm sad but not depressed over the miscarriage. But in the last week 4 people have announced their pregnancies on FB. 2 of them didn't even let the test dry. I'm happy and excited for them, just wish them the best. And hope they don't have to go through what I just/am going through. And I am all excited about all of the babies coming on our board and am never upset when one of you announce a pregnancy. Sorry for the downer post. ?
Eta. My emoticon was all messed up. Still is. It's supposed to be a sad face.

[sagen]

Hugs @james2015, wolfpack , @ wineandcake , and kleigh926 hopefully everyone will have a great day tomorrow, and work situations and such can be resolved.

[jwill]

And now my almost 3 year old who has asthma has rsv.all prayers that we can stay out of the hospital are welcome.

[seadragon2013]

Thinking of you all! jwill, asthma and rsv are so damn scary

[ericalee27]

Hugs and positive thoughts to everyone!

Went to get a haircut today. It's literally 3 miles from my house. Somehow Nate still wet his pants on the way there... Minor problems, but still not a great start to the day. Now getting ready for work until 6, then dinner with the in-laws at 6:30pm, when my kids are crabby and everyone else has already eaten. That's right, ILs invite me to dinner, but don't wait for me to get there to start eating. Today is not starting off right.

Is it too early to drink? It feels like I will need it today.
