guster has she had a cold lately? both my kids had horrible ones this winter that turned into infections that moved to their eyes (and ears...fun). No pink-eye, but just watery with lots of discharge and a crust building up overnight. Lovely. They both ended up on antibiotics (no drops, thankfully) to clear it.
I hope it's not pinkeye and will clear up on its own.
I can't handle the vegan pseudoscience fuckery today.
Someone, a vegan this time, is trying to say plants are conscious and have feelings. Then someone chimes in with, "they are conscious but they exist in a different realm of consciousness. I know this because I've been reincarnated 93 times, mostly as a human but a few times as animals."
Oh. Well, that settles everything.
I'm so confused. So they don't eat animals...but plants are conscious and have feelings so should they be eating those (or their derivatives)??...then what is left?
I seriously don't know why a vegan would argue this at all.
Especially considering it takes anywhere from 6-17 times the plant material to bring an animal to slaughter weight as it would if you just consumed plants.
So even *IF* plants were conscious, then veganism would still be the path of least harm.

Hi from I85 S this time. Heading back home in this nasty weather. It's been raining since Saturday evening. I'm ready for some sunshine and my warm weather back.
The baby dedication went great and we had fun visiting with my SIL. I slept terribly though and was exhausted all day yesterday. I haven't been able to lie flat for months now and trying to sleep with only 1 pillow was not delightful. I slept on the couch last night and it was world's better. I actually got some solid stretches in and feel rested today.

Water?
No! There are microorganisms in water. What kind of monster are you?!
We should all just become breathatarians, obviously.
yummeecookee - DH got snipped in December but has never bothered with follow-up testing. And my Rx for the mini-pill ran out last month right around Chase's birthday. Honestly only I would make it to 38 and finally have my first pregnancy scare.
The photo shoot went ok. I think we got some really good sibling shots but solo S shots didn't go well. We may end up with a round 3 attempt. She said I should be getting my pics back today or tomorrow, so that's good. While we were down there we were talking about the houses around the park. It's the old/rich part of town. There was a big legal dispute between 2 neighbors because the ones on the left built this huge house that doesn't looks like it belongs and because of the height the neighbors on the right can't safely use their fireplace. So they left people were ordered to tear down their house. Anyways I was asking the photographer (she lives in the area) what the people in the left house do for work and it turns out I have met the wife. She is the surgeon we met with when baby O first got flown here. Crazy.
I'm going to chance it@nam, but I'll keep it in mind if it doesn't work. The ped told me to have her lie down, close her eyes, drop it in the corner and then pull her eye open.
That's the method I use for eye drops with my kids. They still don't like it but it gets into their eyes.

Happy Monday from the carpool lane.
So a house went up for sale in our neighborhood and we went to look at it yesterday. I really like it. It plain inside, but improve the layout and I think it could be really really nice with some updates. It doesn't have a pool, but it has a huge yard and is right next to a big green belt park which would be nice for the kids. It's also about $50k below what we wanted to spend on anew house, which would make all the updates feasible, and we could probably put in a pool next year. We took our house if the market a few months ago, but prices have gone up and stuff is selling now so we are meeting the our Realator tomorrow to talk about the possibility of putting in a contingency offer.

@peachsmama I hate to be this way, but maybe the kid did lie? I have a friend who is a single mom. Her daughter had not seen her father since she was born. When she was in first grade, she told her teacher she was very upset because she had to go to her dad's house that weekend and her dad hits her. Obviously, the teacher had to report it. My friend lives with her mother, stepdad, and brother who was in high school. All of them were separated and interviewed. Somehow, the kid got in her head that getting her dad in trouble would get her to meet him.

Man I love my kid, but I'm so ready for MH to get home so I can tag out. He had an athletic banquet tonight and I'm hoping they are almost done. I need time to myself after this weekend's non-stop "Mommy!" Shouts. Kid talks for days and always has to have my complete attention when doing so. I just need silence for the rest of the night.
I know how lonely it feels when you lose a parent, I lost my own father just six months ago. Anything you need, I'm here for you. I'm already making a mental list of the specific things I can do to help. Just say the word.
