How is there not a thread already?

As I mentioned on FB - we went to a concert last night, my mom came over and watched F - she managed to get him to sleep in the RnP and we managed to transfer him to the futon with me for the night. We didn't have any of our usual screamy wake ups - just regular nursing wake ups - and no 2-4am parties like had become a usual thing. My mom may need to come over every night.

I have been trying to "unplug" some so I haven't been around a lot.

L has a dbl ear infection so he has had more wake ups and is beginning to go on a nursing strike. The antibiotics don't seem to be helping any so I may have the dr check his ears this afternoon when I take my older son in for an appointment.

@babylentilbean I hope he feels better soon!

We are on a short day trip to visit my husband's grandparents about 1.5 away. In the 10 minutes it took from their house to the restaurant DD2 of course fell asleep so I'm chilling in the car for now. We are going to go to a petting zoo thing and grab some ice cream before heading home.

@babylentilbean, poor kiddo Hang in there!

We went up to the school to do some work but I forgot my work keys and though I could get an "oopsie" key from the front office, they don't have the cabinet keys for my cameras so...opportunity wasted.

Now I'm chilling while E naps. Later this afternoon I have a chimney/fireplace guy coming to inspect my fireplace since it's dripping/raining inside when it's raining outside. Fingers crossed it's an easy fix...

younglove316 , have fun at the petting zoo!!

Fx fuzzylogic !

@babylentilbean fx L feels better soon!

I have a surprisingly busy day at work today. I guess people finally remembered that I'm back!

I'm working on my Etsy shop. It's something I've been dying to open and I decided I want to actually do it. Planning and things. I think I'm going to have headbands, burp cloths, quilts, etc. Ahhh!

I've been traveling. It was a nice trip.

However, we've been dealing with LO likely day-weaning. It's been pretty stressful for me and I'm not sure how I feel about it. All the resources say LOs are too young to wean at that age. But, the tips and tricks either haven't worked or are completely impractical. (Stay in bed all day and never give a bottle). So I'm trying to make peace with the idea that nursing may be on a downward slope.

This sounds like the story of my life with L. He goes on nursing strikes. Hang in there!

We've had a handful of strikes too. So far he always seems to come back to it.

winogirl, I hope you can keep going as long as you want to. Ending before you're ready can be a very emotional thing.

Hot again today. We are on day 10 of 95+ degree weather. Factor in humidity and heat index and it's 102 today. I decided to stay in today and am paying for it hahahaha. It's about 85 degrees in the house even with a/c and both boys AND the dog have been next to me or on me all day. DS2 just got tooth 7 last night and 8 is blistering like a mofo. He's pretty cranky today between the tooth and the heat. I may ditch all of them tonight and go for ice cream 😄

bluebird44 I gotchu! Also.. happy birthday!!

Chimney is fixable! Too bad it's about to rain again lol. But it needs to shoulders replaced, and a couple other things. The firebox inside needs replacing but it's only necessary if we want to use the fireplace. It's summer so we are going to tackle the leak first.

Strikes are really stressful. Is it affecting your pump stash at all? Hugs, because this is my lyfe.

L's ear infections are clearing so hopefully he will be feeling better by tomorrow.
