My early UO is that most of the dresses from the Met Gala were f'n hideous.

ashiscute, I keep seeing that and want to watch it. if I watch it at work, what are the changes I'll start ugly crying at my desk?

Thank you for all of the well wishes yesterday (and today). You have no idea how touched I was/am. Truly.

I am doing okay. So is my mom. My dad was very close to dying just before E was born so it sounds like she did a lot of processing her thoughts then. She is going to fly out here in a couple of weeks and I'm SO excited. She hasn't been able to travel because she was the primary caregiver for both my dad and my grandma. But they're both gone now. Plus my dad had life insurance so that gives her some breathing room with being laid off from her job. I just really want my mommy to be here and hug me and hang out with me.

My "school" dreams are all from my teacher perspective. Usually I either forget about class or can't get to it and show up 45+ min late or simply can't find my classroom. So stressful!

I always have those in the weeks leading up to back to school. They moved my classroom to the pool, I have to teach under an EZ-Up on the sports field, the class is so loud and won't be quiet, I have no furniture and everyone is sitting on cardboard boxes, etc.

Pretty much every dream I have is an anxiety dream in some form or another.

catladymeow just catching up from earlier this week. I'm so sorry darling. What a rough time for you all. Guess it's really true when they say "when it rains it pours". Ugh. Your poor mom. You all are in my thoughts.

Dh went to take ds to school this morning and was longer than usual. He called me to come outside when he got home and had a bike for me. I am so excited! I have been wanting one so I can go ride with the kids in the evenings. Now I need to decide if I want a bike trailer or a seat that hooks of my bike for V. I am not sure if there are benefits to one over the other. Does anyone have any thoughts?

ncjulia12 I would let your H go on the trip. It may prove a little relaxing for you. I enjoy when my H takes one or two of my kids twice a year to MN. I realize MN is not Disney.

@lovemyirishtwins we got a trailer for our bikes. It's heavy and definitely pulls you back when going up hills, etc, but it seemed like he was safer because he's lower to the ground and at least a little bit protected. W fell asleep in it every time we were out last year, so I assume it's comfortable.

ETA: and if there's only 1 kid in the back, you can store other stuff in there with them. Towels, sand toys, snacks, waters, etc.

[ashiscute]

So DD has kindergarten graduation on May 18 and DS has preschool graduation on May 18. At the same time. Why??

[wells2010]

@lovemyirishtwins we have a trailer for the girls. It's great, even though this year they weigh so much to pull. H usually takes them on his bike. We love it. At least with the trailer, if you fell over, the trailer wouldn't likely. Ours also has enough room for a backpack/water.

I'm so annoyed waiting on R's lab results. I STILL haven't gotten them nor a callback from the allergist office for the past 2 days. Last communication I had was last Wednesday that "they didn't send the results".

Momma bear is about to make an appearance. (And to add insult to injury this is the health system I work for so I know they can see status updates and if there was a problem with running the sample)

I would also add to check on Craigslist and yard sale sites as you can get one new or barely used for a fraction of the price!

I've been having some major phantom kicks, and it's stressing me out. I'm pretty sure I'm starting my period, but it's just been spotting. Ugh. Why hasn't DH gotten snipped yet?!

[mrsbeachcat]

Today at mommy and me, the teacher scolded Bill because he was getting sand outside of the sandbox and his little face was so sad that it made me cry, which then made him cry. Then later another teacher yelled at me because one of the other kids was crying so I showed him a picture of Kevin (our cat) on my phone and apparently we aren't supposed to have electronics in the class.

I think I'm feeling weirdly emotional because things are so weird in my life right now. My relationship with my SO is in a waning period, which sucks and I'm just feeling overwhelmed by starting this little business. I just want to be up and running and there are so many regulations/hoops to jump through.

Also, my jeans are so tight!

Rookie mom mistake: I put DS's lovey in the wash this morning and forgot to put it in the dryer. It is soaking wet. I'm so nervous about the low likelihood for sleep tonight. I threw a curious George plush in the crib as a substitute, but I'm not so sure it will take...

Does this mean JT is already in bed? I'm impressed.

[wineandcake]

Ahhhhh! My house is posted for sale. This is crazy! The likelihood of it selling anytime soon is low, but it's still exciting. I'm hoping it sells before summer so we can be done with it and have cash waiting in case we see a house we love down south, things in our price range sell fast so we need to be ready anytime.

[wells2010]

mrsbeachcat I think your mommy and me class is a little too uptight. Hugs to you and Bill! You are doing great!

@traceyos I don't think they will re culture you typically unless you continue to have symptoms. So, your doc shouldn't have put up a fight. I'd also ask to see ID now. I'm also weirdly curious about what your strange boogers look like.

[mnj05]

Day 3 of testing done, 4 more to go. Help me.

@traceyos I was 100% sure your spoiler was going to have a picture. I don't know why, but I clicked it anyway. Glad I was wrong!

Personally, if your OB okayed it, I would go ahead and take the abx. If you still have staph, that would scare me much more than the abx. But +1 to some kind of second opinion.

+1 

I still don't believe it doesn't, and I won't be clicking to be proven wrong.

[elenetxu]

Send an exorcist. I slept about three hrs and didnt finish dinner (or my beer). WHAT IS WRONG WITH DS?!?!

[yl]

FFTC: I'm folding my laundry very slowly because I want to make sure MH sees me folding it when he gets home from the gym, but he's taking forever. I'm more like fold an item, surf the internet, look at the clock, fold an item, etc.

Additional FFTC: Lately I feel like MH barely tolerates me. I tried to talk to him about it, and he said it wasn't true at all, but then he continues to act like he can't even stand me. Hopefully this is just a phase. *sigh*

[jessijean]

I'm sorry yl. That has to be difficult.

AFM...
Laying in bed wanting to sleep but can't because I'm nervous about K going back to daycare tomorrow. My provider is nervous about one boy being too rambunctious and knocking him over, lovely.

I just rolled over/adjusted and something popped in my hip and now I have a decent amount of pain.

oh hi. I'm drowning in work and finals and summer prep and life and I can't keep up with any damn thing at all

A love tit seems wrong for this, but you are definitely not alone. Hugs from afar.

Thanks sharebear05 , wells2010 , lawandorder and jnetx . I am traveling for 10 days starting Friday so I think I will get whichever antibiotic the dr prescribes, try it, and follow up with an Infectious Disease specialist when I return if I'm not healed at that point.

I emailed my OB again to ask what she meant by a "short course" of Doxy. Is the typical 10 day course a "long course"?

Thanks again!

I think 10 days is a short course. I've had family members on it for over a month for Lyme's Disease.

rach what does it mean when you dream that you can't stop your car?

[lovemyirishtwins]

I am sorry yl that you feel you're going through a rough spot in your marriage.

That you need to slow down! Cars are allegedly metaphors for you/yourself in dreams.

Shit! I've had this dream a number of times in the last month. I'm trying to park or stop the car and the brakes don't work.

Thanks. We just had a chat about some things that were bothering me last night and I think we cleared the air a little bit.

19 years is a long time to be with someone. It never gets easier.
