It's the weekend randoms!

[FieryMama]

1215 appointment for this guy. I was told that white spots does not equal strep, which I get. However, this kid always has large tonsils so when he complains, my mama radar goes berserk.

[tuscanlatte]

arimaythea congrats!! Boy names were so much harder for us too!

flippinchica I hope the PGAL brain is minimal for you.

redandblue Costa Rica sounds amazing

[tuscanlatte]

FieryMama thank you for saying that.

[tuscanlatte]

FieryMama I hope it's nothing serious! It always sucks having to go in.

I'm sorry D1 is making life hard for you, still redandblue, that sucks. I'm glad you have Costa to look forward too! That is a place on my list of places I must visit!

FieryMama, I hope it's nothing serious!

tuscanlatte, don't beat yourself up. Your son is crafty, he knew where you were, and at least he dressed her. It's not like you forgot about them, you were checking on them. Shit happens.

C has been napping for an hour now. A begged for lunch that she now doesn't want.

She alone is going to break me today.

Those kind of days with DD just kill me. Wine tastes that much better after they finally get to bed (and stay!).

[tuscanlatte]

RandomName lol that's what DS said. He just "wanted to hang out with us". Lol. I'm trying to let it go now, but definitely a rough morning.

@poppykisses, for the Brussels I halve them and toss them with olive oil, garlic, salt and crushed dried chiles and roast them in the oven until they're crispy.

When they are done, I toss them in a dressing that I make with 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar, juice from 1/2 lime, 1 teaspoon of agave/ maple syrup, 1 tablespoon chunky no-sugar pb, 1-2 chipotles in adobo sauce, minced, and hot water that I add to thin it until it's the consistency of a creamy dressing.

Then I garnish with some crushed peanuts and usually some chopped cilantro.

tuscanlatte, I'm sorry. You were not being irresponsible by any means. I hope the rest of your day is good!

[layloo08]

redandblue, I'm sorry for the funk. Having a disconnect with your spouse is so hard...
Cannot imagine N being a teenager... but Costa Rica!!!!!!!

[layloo08]

FieryMama oh no 😩
What's the verdict? Hope he's on the mend soon and that K just bit her tongue.
You need a break and a drink!

[RandomName]

FieryMama any updates?

[FieryMama]

layloo08 and RandomName
Rapid stress came back negative, but he did a 2nd swab for culture. I should get those results Tuesday or Wednesday. Supposed to push fluids and Motrin as needed for pain. He thinks I need to talk to the ENT about removing his tonsils. They are always 3+ and with his snoring and apnea spells, it needs looked into. We have a follow up in June, so I will see what they think.

We are thinking K just bit her tongue. Follow up on Thursday if the spot hasn't gotten any better.

These are the best!

FieryMama, aw poor bud..

[th3stryck3r]

Dinner last night was a success, although I ate way too much. Got a long run in this morning, and had some time this afternoon to work on some art projects while MH and P napped. Now headed to a good friend's goodbye party. I hate that all my best friends keep leaving NYC!

*TW - death, car accident.

A friend of mine from high school was killed early this morning. She and her boyfriend were on their way to the airport for her flight to France. She was going to be spending 6 months there for a semester abroad. They were hit head-on by a drunk driver. I feel sick.

[mommabakes]

I'm so sorry amberlie

[mommabakes]

ampaints I'm sick now too, the whole household is. Hoping it's short lived!

th3stryck3r I love being able to have a garden! Jealous that you have awesome farmers markets though.

[ampaints]

I'm so terribly sorry amberlie.

taketheshot, any update on A's tooth?

Not yet.. Waiting for the Pediatric Dentist to call me back tomorrow. I have very little hope though. Every one I've spoken too said it'll just be left alone. I can't accept that. I don't care how vain that makes me seem. I don't want her to have a chipped front tooth for the next 5 years. There isn't any discoloration thankfully and she doesn't seem to be in pain

[th3stryck3r]

amberlie, I'm so sorry.

[layloo08]

amberlie, I'm so sorry, that is so awful

[RandomName]

amberlie I'm so sorry. How tragic.

[ars093s]

amberlie, I'm so sorry.

[ars093s]

redandblue, have fun in Costa Rica! H and I had our babymoon there and loved it - gorgeous water and beaches, great food, awesome people.

[runningmommy519]

amberlie I'm so sorry for your friend

tuscanlatte I missed your poof but I have an idea, maybe? Friday night we had a fire in our backyard fire pit. No monitor and I didn't check on them. We had our glass sliding door open so we'd hear any loud fussing.
