Best. Monday. Ever.

[jillywilly]

H turned the game off sometime after half time assuming it was over. He was super surprised to turn his phone on this morning and see the outcome, so he was watching ESPN all morning for the highlights.

But it's still a good Monday because DS woke up fever-free and seemingly on the mend. H decided last night that he'd stay home with him, so it was a way more relaxed morning than a normal Monday for us. Hoping both of them are finally on the mend, since H has been dealing with some kind of cold for the last week or so now too.

I brought Super Bowl snack leftovers for lunch today. Boneless wings and a potato skin- I can't wait for lunch!

[jillywilly]

I'm jealous of all your Super Bowl snacks. We were supposed to go to a party last night, but cancelled last minute because of DS' fever, so we had to improvise pork chops and rice for dinner, and just normal snacks we had around the house. Good, but I love me the more "traditional" football snacks. I had been really looking forward to some guacamole. I may need to do a make-up in the near future.

Morning! S is getting her tubes today, but we don't have to be at the hospital until 10:30. She can't eat, and doesn't understand. They said she could have apple juice, so she got some of that watered down. First juice experience and she is saying "Yum!" after each drink. I kinda feel bad I have to take that away in 8 minutes.

MIL kept DS for us last night and is taking him to DC for us so he didn't get upset when S didn't go to school too.

Hope everything goes ok with the tubes alayne926.

Also hope she doesn't turn into a hangry toddler. They are not fun to deal with.

Oh she will...she's her momma's child. They'll give her a popsicle or something after the procedure. Luckily it's fast.

oh man that sucks. They really should schedule little kids first thing because they don't understand why they can't eat. Hope it goes ok and good luck!!

They usually do, but we asked to be scheduled earlier (day wise) because the kids' insurance is changing and we wanted to do it while she was still on the lower deductible plan. Someone cancelled for today, so they moved us to this open slot.

[jillywilly]

Hope everything goes smoothly for you today, alayne926, including dealing with the hungry toddler!

[billyhorrible]

Not a good night here. The last eye tooth came in last night, he was up from 11:30-almost 3 just screaming.

And baseball tonight, so I'm go go go all the day long.

[holliberry28]

Good luck today alayne926!

[Widget123]

Good luck with S today alayne926.

Very quiet morning at work so far: a lot of people called out or decided to telework last minute. Kind of hope it stays that way.

[tiffbot]

Hope all goes well today alayne926!!

I just told my oldest "26 more sleeps until we go on the airplane" and he replied "wow!! That's a tiny number!!" lol he's so excited.

I gave the kids and mh my cold, so we have been going through Kleenex at an alarming rate. I keep saying though, better now than the trip. So hopefully we will all be healthy in 26 days!

Speech path today and I need to book the kids in for their haircuts before we leave.

Between my kid and my H, I looked in my trash can at one point yesterday and I swear it was 75% full of Kleenex. It was basically all you could see in there. I think we've gone through two boxes in a weekend. 

But yes, hopefully you all are healthy for the trip!

[pghtruelove]

Good luck alayne926!

Good luck, alayne926!

It is a good Monday because there was a luncheon and cake in the break room today. Mm. One fruit salad had pomegranate seeds and I ate so much fruit!

[tiffbot]

Lately DD pronounces "more" so funny. She says "Moyeee!" And twists her mouth to the side. Like she's really trying to differentiate the r sound from her other "mo" word (Mickey Mouse is Mo Mo") Its probably not as funny written out as it is hearing it and seeing it but I just think it's so cute.

Pretty typical Monday here, gosh darn cold outside, DS has been to preschool and back. A good friend of mine found out she's expecting a girl today so that was exciting! We both have a boy first girl second!

[alayne926]

Man guys...I have "that kid". She screamed at EVERYONE at the hospital today. The lady that's here to entertain the kids to keep them calm tried to come in and blow bubbles with S and she started screaming and said "GO!!" to her.

They just took her back.

[musicfrk2002]

We woke up late this morning since J fell back asleep for 2 hours. I had to wake him up at 9:30.

Nothing too exciting here today. My weekend was pretty busy though. Now it's back to reality.

[billyhorrible]

Sometimes it's like the universe just "knows." I came in to work to find one of my coworkers had brought me in a muffin, and some gift certificates to DH's favorite doughnut shop.

[blueskiessmiling]

Hoping all goes well alayne926. Don't worry, DD can definitely be "that kid" too.

I don't really care about the Super Bowl, but I did eat some great snacks and won a LLR legging giveaway. So I'm riding that high still today.

[alayne926]

Heading home. Apparently she needed two sedatives in order for anesthesia to be able to put her under.

[alayne926]

@jemomma, I've been secretly laughing about it since it happened.

[Bluedaisy]

alayne926, hope she feels better soon and you guys have a calm night.

Super cold day here so it was an inside day and the kids were wild. LO has a gross stuffy nose again. I guess that's what I get for being so excited that we'd made three full weeks of daycare without him being sent home. Hopefully it's just a cold or just these horrible eye teeth coming in.

[sugarkissed]

alayne926 Hope she's feeling better!!

I've been pretty MIA lately, still waiting on Internet. I don't want to see my phone bill and data charges this month.

I have to brag about DH. Saturday was our legal anniversary. We never so much to celebrate (we celebrate our wedding day anniversary) but since he was in town I requested we go for dinner. Well, he surprised me. We went for a couples massage and then he sent me to get my hair and makeup done before dinner. We had such an awesome meal and he had flowers delivered to the restaurant ahead of time. It was such a nice surprise after months of barely seeing each other. Now he's back to work.

[tiffbot]

Dang sugarkissed your H is pulling out all the moves lately!! I know it's hard not having him around, but I'm glad he's such a great husband and dad to have

You know that red heads need more anesthesia/pain medicine than non-redheads, right?

I learned that today! The nurse also said that redheads are more prone to throw up as they are coming out of anesthesia. Luckily that didn't happen until she got home.

[baytosa2013]

alayne926 aww poor thing! I hope she fared better this evening.

Monday is finally over. DD and I slept in the guest room last night because she kept waking up. I got kicked and then layed (is that right? I feel weird typing laid haha) on all night so I'm tired. My boss was irritating me today and I missed an address change for one of our vendors so she emailed that she hadn't received her 1099 yet. I sent it to her electronically but grrr if I have to send in a corrected version.

Anywho the kid is still sick and has goopy eyes like blocked tear duct days so that's fun but we have convinced her it's fun to breath in to the inhaler mask so mommy win!

[wegrowsheep]

My Monday started out with 18" of snow (6x our usual), no power, and this: The apple tree smashed the rabbit cages (rabbits are, miraculously, fine),

and some of our trees decided to lounge on the state highway.

It ended with DS1 puking (at my IL's, no less).

Tomorrow starts early at the state capitol for senate committee hearings. In business suit and heels.

Was just going to say what KKLL did. I always need more anesthesia and novocaine than average and I always wake up from whatever it is they did and vomit unless they've given me anti-nausea stuff. They wouldn't give it to me when I had my tonsillectomy because "it could cause a migraine" and so I had to deal with a lot of vomiting post-surgery.

Very happy to hear that she didn't throw up!

She did when we got home. DS did in the car on the way home when he had his done.
