Wacky Wednesday Randoms

It's Wednesday. What's up?

[twocents6708]

I can't seem to pry myself out of this bed. But I must go to work today. I think I need a mental health day to avoid the political talk.

[ellesea]

Eeek. See you in 4-8 years America!

Lo was leak free all night! Woo hoo. And ds1 slept in until 6:55. I'd feel good if I wasn't unable to sleep after 5am.

Going to go see my dad in a little bit. This afternoon a walk with my BFF. She is due in Saturday and wants to try to walk this baby out of her.

Oh man why did I stay up so late 😬

And the amount of hatred I'm seeing on fb is making me sad.

I'm just numb. I'm worried for my family, our jobs, our future. MH works at a medical school; if the ACA goes away they are going to slash budgets left and right. I teach in higher ed; this administration will NOT want educated citizens and will try to kill us by death by 1000 papercuts. I just want to sit on the couch and hold my babies tight but there is work to be done. So I will put on my big girl panties and try not to speculate too much about things I can't control.

I have some girls coming over with their kiddos for a bible study this AM. I kind of regret having it today because everyone is very outspoken politically and not all on the same side. I hope it doesn't get ugly.

I'm starting to move into the acceptance phase of the grieving process. It makes me sad that this country is so divided and I'm scared for what is going to come.

Same.

So is it time for Ashton to come out now?

PS - I would post the same thing if HRC would have won.

All we can do now is hope for the best and be the change we want to see.

So it's been a stressful few weeks. We have had issues getting the bank to approve our home loan due to DH buying a practice/property Nov 1. We found out this AM it got approved and isn't contingent on selling our current home. However, the house we wanted got bought yesterday. Back to house hunting we go this weekend. I was pretty down last night but I think I found a good second option online that I'm kind of liking better. I hope the house is as good as the pictures. It's cheaper too which makes me happy!

There is a tcfer on fb that is quite happy Trump was elected. And now I don't know how I feel about them. To me this is someone who accepts bigotry, racism, and sexism as a norm. If you voted for Trump, I'd rather not know.

I went to have my undercut shaved after nursery school drop off. It's so spikey now.

Fx for you guys!!!

I love my dad. To be honest adulting sucked this month. Between school taxes (which had gone up several hundred dollars), house insurance, an increase in town tax, and some unforeseen expenses we didn't have enough in our checking to fully pay off our credit card. Not the end of the world but not how we like to do things if possible.

I went to my dad and started to explain and he said. How much do you want to borrow? No questions asked, he didn't flinch when I told him and he transferred it all to our checking plus a few hundred to tide us over.

So despite feeling like I failed being an adult, I am blessed to have a kind and generous dad. I'd much rather be paying him back that paying extra in interest and fees.

R has a fever but I can't get her to take Tylenol. She just spits it out. She's so fussy and I feel like I can't deal with it today. Any ideas or tips on how to get her to take it?

Squirt it slowly into her cheek.

@led try squirting it slowly, in small amounts in to her cheek.

Squirt it slowly into her cheek.

And blow in her face. Triggers a reflex to swallow.

Ooo I didn't know that. What a handy trick to have!

I just spent more than I planned today, but halo sleepsacks were on sale on zulily and the girls will need the next size by Christmas most likely.

That's what I'd been doing. She spits it out.

At what point do I call the doctor? Her temp is 102°.

I've spent the day regrouping. Today I've donated to NOW and planned parenthood. I'm becoming a member of ACLU. This weekend we're doing a toy drive and donating to the food pantry. I will instill in my children the change I want to see in this world.

This post makes me happy - I'm going to follow your lead and figure out what I can do to help.

Mixed in with food she likes maybe? Poor girl! I hope she feels better soon!

I'd call now just to see what they say.
