Not-so-Fun Sunday

[judyblume14]

It's 5:30 am. My weekday wakeup time. I've been up for nearly an hour. After.posting last night, I got slammed with a case of "uh oh, you shouldn't have eaten crabs on an upset stomach, and adding most of a party-sized bag of chips was a bad idea." So, I was up until about 11:45 battling that. Then I woke up at 1am becuase our alarm was beeping. Just a quick chirp every 15, 30, 60 or 90seconds. No rhyme or reason or pattern. It stresses me out, and I'm afraid that if I touch anything on the keypad, I'll set the alarm off. It's not monitored right now, so the cops wouldn't come, but I don't know the code and don't want to deal with that horrendous noise.

I finally fell back asleep around 3:30

Oh, and H isn't here - he stayed at his brother last night. I told him to come home early. He better be on his way. I cannot solo parent with a weak stomach on like 2 hours of sleep.

We have swim lessons this morning, then my bestie, her H and 2 girls are.coming over to have pizza and swim. Right at nap time. Should be interesting.

@giamia923 - adorable! I love Grease!

judyblume14, hope you feel better soon and YH gets home and doesn't leave you hanging

@giamia923, ugh, hope you get out of drill right after your meeting, sucks you are stuck there later. That video of G is adorable!

@lildiamondeyes, hope the day goes well and the kids enjoy the kiddie pool.

We had a great time at the zoo yesterday! So glad we went, crowds weren't bad at all and weather was perfect! She seemed to like the Farmyard (you could garden with fake veggies, there was a tractor, milk a fake cow, etc) and the Big Backyard which was an awesome play area with instruments, painting on a slate board with water, water toys, obstacles.

Not sure about today, another blah day with the weather

Sorry about your rough evening/morning judyblume14 hope your H comes home soon so you have help parenting.
@giamia923 hope you get to go home quickly to G! Also love Grease. Pretty sure all the inappropriate stuff goes right over their heads. What I remember from my childhood of that movie does NOT match when I watched it as an adult.
jt2378 jealous of the zoo, it's too hot until at least September to go.
Good luck with your purge @adulruna

@kait20122014, LT for zoo not you feeling crummy

sorry about your stitch fix stuff, that sucks

Eating is getting out of control here. H won't even regularly eat the standbys. I'm at a loss of what to do. She wants to basically live off bread, grapes, cereal and yogurt. UGH so frustrated

This is my life. Bread, Mac n cheese and fruit. She won't touch meat besides an occasional chicken nugget.

I'm getting worried about her weight and that she like never eats. She looks healthy though but is super active. I have been slacking on giving her the iron drops though because it's such a PITA. I need to start doing it more regularly. I did buy kid protein shakes and call them her milkshakes. She will only take a few sips though

I did start her on a multivitamin. Of course she only eats the Flinstone gummies that dont have the iron in them. She thinks they are her candy though lol. She won touch the regular chewable ones with the iron. of course!

yes, same here with meat! UGH, sorry your going through it too. I'm not really worried about her weight as she doesn't look skinny by any means but just more worried she def isn't getting enough nutritional foods. Maybe I will look into the protein shakes

Yep. Picky here too. He only wants frozen fruit, granola bars, sausage, and carbs. I can't get him to eat chicken or any vegetable. Not even frozen peas or corn. He's also obsessed with eating ice and frozen foods in general. I've read it's a sign of anemia or calcium deficiency. Maybe I need to look into a multivitamin.

[jt2378]

@100poppies, good idea with the pumpkin puree, I never would have thought of that.

melw629, that is really interesting about frozen foods and anemia or calcium def, I never heard of that. Lol, its funny how he will eat sausage but not chicken?? Kids are so odd sometimes. I used to have GL with the corn and peas too and not much anymore

[judyblume14]

H came home reasonably early this morning. L was cute at swim lessons. Had friends and their little girls up for lunch and swimming - good time!

L us taking a late nap - I fell asleep on a lounge chair by the pool for about 25 minutes. I will spend the rest of naptime in the shade or inside.

Oh, and what I thought was the alarm beeping... was actually the smoke detector chirping becuase the batteries were dead. Easy fix

[judyblume14]

@giamia, I also give L the Flintstone toddler gummies. She always tries to ask my H for more after she's already had her daily dose!

@kait20122014 - you just had major, emergency surgery. Try not to be too bummed over stitchfix!

[judyblume14]

Oh snap... I just signed L up for the ADVANCED mommy & me swimming class for next session!

[jt2378]

@lildiamondeyes, I do 100% of bedtime every night which is bullshit. She was so tough at night that the bulk of it fell on me because BF was the only answer at the time but unfortunately even after things got better it never changed. Its my own fault I know but just commiserating with you!

A big CONGRATS to you on your weight loss! That is great and so happy you are feeling so good about yourself, you should be really proud
