Sleepy Friday

[Deleted]

R decided 5a was a good time to get up today. So here I am. H was snoring all night so I didn't get much sleep again. I would kill for a nap right now.

Not much else going on today. Just lots of laziness. Maybe a walk and a coffee run if it's not raining.

[fishbulb]

The kids and I all have the same cold. Last night we were all restless and coughing. I would love a nap too.

For something completely different, this came across my Facebook feed this morning. It's an evolutionary argument in support of dad bod:

So I feel really bizarre today. it feels like I'm on heavy painkillers. I sway if I am not actively thinking about standing up straight. I keep running into stuff while I"m walking. It's super bizarre. I feel totally out of it.

I have a doctor appointment at 4:30 so I hope they can maybe figure something out. I had the nursing teacher here at my school take my blood pressure and that's totally normal.

I'm glad you have an appt today. That sounds scary!

Olivia and I are still sick. My voice is gone and I feel awful. DH wakes up and is all, "I need to rest today because I have a tickle in my throat." Wtf dude. Wtf.

[nerdykitten]

Well my husband and I had a fun time out last night, minus some douches driving by our group after the movie and complaining about our friend's loud laugh. He is lucky I wasn't closer to his car when he did it.

We were so excited thinking we would get home to babies in bed...yeah nope Laurel and Damian woke up at 10 and we had to let them play on the floor until 11:45 when they finally started showing sleepy signs.

[nerdykitten]

westiemom I am sorry you are still sick and that your DH is being a butt about a tickle in his throat.

mrsw062610 I am glad you are seeing a doctor today. I get like that when I haven't gotten enough rest several days in a row.

I can't believe someone did that! That's crazy!

I'm glad you had fun though even though you came home to wide awake babies!

I am so hungry this morning! Pretty sure I could eat three breakfasts. Cannot wait until lunch.

[nerdykitten]

Someone talk to me about teething wafers. My mom keeps bringing them up and I am on the fence about trying them or not.

What are they? Like hard food? Why not just give them a carrot or something? Send like a waste of money. But I'm cheap. Lol

[mrsw062610]

Starting to feel better. So sleepy though.

Next week we have a teacher workday on Election day and off on Friday for Veterans Day! YAY YAY YAY

[ellesea]

I have never heard of teething wafers.

Both kids are napping. This is so so rare. Ah it's so quiet.

[westiemom]

I'm starving. I just ordered myself a pizza bc I don't feel good enough to make lunch. Healthy I know. Now I just hope Olivia stays asleep long enough for it to get here and me to eat it.

Personally I think they are gross. The are like a dissolvable cookie that kids can hold. I worked at a daycare where they provided them and thought it was more mess than anything. I vote for teething rings or washcloths instead.

[birkmmm]

We use teething wafers ...Ry loves them.
This is what they are ....
@led they dissolve so they are not a choking hazard

[birkmmm]

It's pretty dead in here today....
dh and I are going on a date tonight yay! Going to P.F. Chang's I can't wait😋

Did you get to eat it? Sorry you're still not feeling well.

[ellesea]

Oh yeah we have those wafers. I call then by the brand I buy, Mum mums. I didn't know they were for teething. They're a mess, but they're good for occupying baby for a couple minutes.

[twocents6708]

Going to get dessert this evening and catch up with my bestie tonight. I am excited!

We use them and like them. not for any "teething" purposes though. They are like a giant puff and dissolve in babies mouth ( except for the Plum brand of inremeber correcrtly. They didn't dissolve as easy. Reminded me more like a cookie last time) it keeps her occupied so I can have her in the highchair while I do little things around the kitchen while keeping my eye on her. Also she is practicing self feeding which she obviously needs help with by watching lol it's cute

[bexincanada]

I am so sleepy. Not ready for the bedtime/fussy routine. Just got groceries and put laundry on but no dinner yet.

Ahhh, and now Is has hiccups... that's going to make falling asleep super fun.

[nerdykitten]

My mother decided to buy them today so I gave one to Damian and he loved it.

[ellesea]

Lo is in bed, I'm eating sour keys and watching lake placid until h gets ds1 to bed. I'm no longer allowed to participate in bedtime since that's when his separation anxiety started.

[aaemommy]

We have wings in the oven and ordered a pizza for delivery. And a drink is in hand. Now to find a movie to watch and it will be a perfect end to this crazy week. 😊

[aaemommy]

ellesea I have a hard time with A's bedtime. If MH puts him to bed, there are rarely issues. If I put him to bed it takes twice as long and he totally loses it when I leave the room.

[snoris]

Wow slow day.

Any updates from your appt mrsw062610? I'm an old pro at those kinds of symptoms, but scary for sure.

We are a hot mess over here. More literally than I'd care to admit. So 2 nights ago baby I wet our bed. Didn't have time to wash the sheets last night so we just slept in his bed. Welp. He wet those too MOTN so we just threw a towel over it and slept "upside down". Then we had a blowout. (Night time sposies are not going as well as I hoped). So tonight was a hot mess of its own particular variety so, I'll spare you those details, we are back in our (still dirty) bed sleeping upsidedown with a towel over the pee.

Tomorrow we are doing laundry. And taking showers.

Facepalm.

We love those too! They buy a few minutes of quiet time in the high chair. M also really likes these mini cucumbers that Wegmans has cut in half. She likes the taste of the pulp but can't bite through the skin.

Still sick with a cold. Littles are still sick too. Husband is still being an asshat. If he doesn't perk up (or break down) after this election we're going to have a serious State of the Union conversation.

Today mid-fight I told him if he wants to leave, leave. My exact words were "I'll happily take half of your paycheck and none of your shit." Mean and harsh and (for now) not really true, but I will admit I'm kind of proud of my wit in the heat of the moment.
