Wednesday Whining

[brachysira]

Wind chill tomorrow -25.  Playdates cancelled due to others' illnesses this week=3.  Just about everyone we know is sick.  When will it end?  

[jwill]

I am sick of sickness....that is all. We have had minor surgery(tubes and adenoids),bronchitis, rsv+asthma ,pnemonia, stomach virus *3 all since the beginning of the month...granted we are a family of 5 but I want a plastic bubble.

[wolfpack]

It's cold here. Schools been canceled since Monday now I'm worried they will take days from spring break. I have plans and I can't really change them

[seadragon2013]

Count me in as being sick of being sick. I'm so ready to be able to breathe again. DS and DH have both recovered from the recurrent plagues of January, so I'm the lame one dragging our little family down these days.

It's making me crazy! And I'm not even in the school system yet (daycare usually follows DPS, although they did open for a little bit today) They will be out all week at the point...for like an inch of snow....

I had to reschedule my osteopath appointment tomorrow to next week because my step-mom was going to take DS, but my sisters (4&6) have strep.. So I didn't have anyone to watch him, boo!

[brachysira]

We all had a minor cold last week, but I cancelled most of our playdates last week and we skipped our playgroup because I didn't want to spread it around. It was probably some kind of miracle or something because now the moms' group all has a stomach thing, my regular playdate friend has an awful head/nose thing, my pregnant other playdate friend has both a sinus thing and the throw-up thing, and our baby-sitter has been sick a week and went to the doctor. Even our friends across the country have croup.

Yay for our health. But, yeah, our house is a mess too because we are inside all the time. Plus, DS, 5 months, is literally only sleeping for 1 hour at a time at night and 15 minutes/nap. M is watching far more than the recommended TV and seems to be behaving worse for it. Please, please summer. Heal us, provide us a place to run, make our car batteries work, let us wear a single layer and not have to bundle and unbundle at the car, provide us cute summer clothes and swimming...

I just got a text reminder about my prenatal phone call that was scheduled for tomorrow morning. The scheduling people in women's health didn't get the memo about my MC. I was just worrying about this on my drive home too. I cried the whole drive home thinking about how our heartbeat appointment would have been soon.

[hangryhedgehog]

Also, I am kind of on the two week wait and I feel like I am going to lose my ever loving mind.

[aydee]

hangryhedgehog I'm so sorry. Reminders like that after a loss are the worst. Hugs to you!

I have a sick DH. I was trying to be sympathetic to the fact that he's feeling truly miserable.but COME ON! On top of the usual NB feeding/burping/diapering I do all night long, I also had to listen to DH moan constantly all.night.long.

I kept trying to suggest he go sleep on the couch, because you know, it's closer to the bathroom - but it didn't work. sigh.

[wolfpack]

And school is closed tomorrow. Awsome not. We might go back by March

[rosebean]

I drove away with our block heater cord. Again. Of course, when DH did it last week it was haha funny because he's allowed to make mistakes. I, on the other hand, get into a huge fight with him over it when I get home because we have to revisit how stupid I am. Jerk.

[crimsonandclover]

I'm hopping on the sickness whine train, too. Since the end of October, we've had the puking stomach flu, 3 bouts of pink eye, 2 ear infections, 1 sinus infection, another round of puking, a trip to the ER for DD2's head, pink eye again, and now the real flu complete with fever and a nasty, barking cough plus other fun symptoms. My pedi told me that the first winter the kids are in daycare/preschool without the protection of mom's antibodies from birth/BFing, they'll have an average of 7 illnesses with fever. With fever I think we're only at 3, but counting all illnesses I think we're almost at 7. It needs to stop.

[kleigh926]

I'm going to whine about the fact that I don't know if we can afford to move when we wanted to because of this stupid second car payment that we had to take on. Now we even have a buyer lined up for our house (my brother) which is the best possible situation for us as far as that is concerned. I'm sure he would be willing to give us a couple extra months past what we had decided on before, but it wouldn't be fair to expect him to wait much longer just because every single time we want to move something has to come along and derail our plans.

[singingsea]

I'm late for the whining but DH and I are in the middle of a fight right now It sucks. I'm feeling a bit blue in general.

[wineandcake]

My kid is a snotty, coughing, fevered, not sleeping mess. He was so congested and coughing so much he threw up last night. And of course, we're out if town. Now I have to take him to a walk in today because to rule out pneumonia (did a round of abx or bronchitis but didn't take most of them). This is the worst winter ever.

[sagen]

I am sorry hangryhedgehog ((hugs)) and everyone else too.

[sjames2015]

I am soo sorry hangryhedgehog
We are sick here. DD still has her horrific deep cough but everything else seems to be getting better. But I got the cold and am miserable. Hoping it passes quick. Hope everyone gets feeling better as well.

[laketide]

It's no longer Wednesday but I still need whine. DH and I have been getting irritated with each other over the tiniest things this week that I know are irrational and petty but - still it happens sometimes. Then DH forgot my birthday today - I know he's super busy but it made me feel awful that he just flat forgot - I mean we talked about it yesterday. Then I went to head out for lunch and realized DD had taken my wallet out this morning leaving me no way to get lunch today (on a day I had of course skipped breakfast). It's just been a very unfun kind of day.

Reflux, I have been having some crazy flare up the past few days. I don't know what is my deal, I only eat quasi crappy, not past 8, work out, blah blah. I thought I was over it and drank a Dr. pepper, nope breathing fire over here

First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY laketide!!!

And what a rotten day. I declare a do over tomorrow. Tell your DH he had better make it up to you in a big way!

Thank you!! He's been so busy at work so I guess he deserves a pass on forgetting - and he took me out to eat with a super sweet card he and DD worked on so he did pretty good
Thank you sagen!!

I had NEVER had reflux until pregnancy - I was told it would go away after pregnancy...it didn't.

[sagen]

I am happy your birthday ended much better than it started!!
