Take care of yourself Tuesday

[wineallthetime]

Good idea, lfigge! I'll be hitting up my typical boot camp class. It's great "me time" and makes me feel good.

[wineallthetime]

L has super super sensitive skin. She now has a new rash on her belly and neck. My mom said it just looks like sensitive skin/heat rash. What products should I be using on her??

[wineallthetime]

lfigge, enjoy your day! You so deserve it!

[yummeecookee]

lfigge, enjoy your day! That sounds perfect.

wineallthetime, C had some pretty bad rashes when he was an infant. My pedi advised us to stop using any dryer sheets and use sensitive laundry detergent. For bath soap, she suggested dove sensitive.

As far as taking care of myself- I am going for a jog later this morning and then getting my hair done this afternoon

I have always had sensitive skin and recently start using Cerave. It's cleared up rashes better than the many prescriptions I have tried.

My 6 year old has the N13 stomach bug. I have been up since 2. Hoping it is quick and I can contain it to 1 kid.

[kim22]

As if being KU and cleaning someone else's puke all night wasn't enough, I just found our hermit crab dead.

I second cerave. I put it on Millie after every bath. If I forget her eczema flairs up. I used to use an RX moisturizer that was $60 and this is a million times better. I also use All free and clear detergent and bounce dyer sheets with no scent. Her skin is super sensitive and this helps. She also can't wear brand new clothes without me washing them first or she gets a rash.

I want to go home and just lay in bed. I wake up and feel like I haven't slept in days. Fitbit tells me I'm sleeping just fine. I don't know whats going on. I'm also still waiting on AF to show up. Since immaculate conception doesn't run in my family I won't be peeing on anything any time soon, though. So, I'm not really worried, I would just like it to hurry and show the eff up!

I've also been binge watching that First Dates show when I can and I would just like to say I am SO happy I am no longer in the dating scene. I don't think I would bother with it to be honest. I would just stay single and live in peace and quiet. LOL

LOL.

When was the last time you had blood work done?  Maybe your iron levels are low or your thyroid.

I had it done just a few months ago because I was constantly tired. He said my levels looked fine, but then a chick at my office started talking about how I needed to go to her "thyroid guy" because the general test doesn't look for the right things or something. I never went.

[klongoria11]

mwhipple77, I only go to the dr. every 6 months so that he will keep my prescriptions up to date. Otherwise, he won't do the refills.

[slenle]

Morning! No time to take care of me today since DH left for the rest of the week. I do plan on dropping the kids off with my parents on Thursday (or maybe even over night Wednesday) so I can head in to the cites and do some shopping and look at ideas for our mudroom.

Today is my nieces 1st birthday so we have her bday part tonight. I hope her gift shows up in the mail today..

[slenle]

nam2013, a cute little outfit and sandals. She's #4 so they have about every toy under the sun.

[klongoria11]

Sunny41, all of the above. LOL I know a lot of what I am feeling is probably situational and will go away in time.

[trtlcrzy]

Morning! H is at preschool and I'm sitting outside the mall waiting for it to open and S to wake up.

lfigge what time do you put S to bed at night? Maybe she's fighting bedtime because she doesn't need as much sleep which is why she's waking up so early when the melatonin makes her go go sleep right away.

[klongoria11]

mwhipple77, we have given ours to church daycares in the neighborhood. I have also posted on my neighborhood's moms fb group to see if anyone wanted them. I'm not looking to get money for any of ours, I feel better giving them to people who need them.

[klongoria11]

The fact that my office still smells like a dead animal is not helping in my desire to leave for the day.

[kim22]

I took care of me and did a BBM workout.

Dude, just go home.  No one needs to be smelling a dead animal all day.

No one is doing anything about it. 
It started a few months ago and the office manager had the AC people come out and look in the vents and shit, but they found nothing so it was basically, "welp, nothing more we can do" type of thing. The smell disappeared for awhile, but now it's back. I've told the office manager and one of the partners. They give no fucks.

I rescheduled by June 2nd hair appointment to this Friday - does that count as taking care of me? LOL. Since Chase was born, my hair grows like weeds. Dry, brittle weeds.

[JoeLies]

Chase had a good first day in pre-toddlers yesterday, he even made it to nap time before passing out quickly. Apparently one of the kids woke up screaming bloody murder after about 80 minutes, so he was a bit of a wreck last night. So tired! But he seems to be adjusting just fine.

Meanwhile after staying dry overnight a couple times in a row, Colin had an accident at daycare yesterday. I couldn't get a straight answer out of him on whether it happened during lunch or naptime, but it sort of came out of left field. I just want to be DONE with this.

M still has the occasional accident.  It happens. It's okay.

This. Cadence has the occasional one as well. Usually if they are playing outside and didn't get her to the bathroom fast enough or if she waited to long and has trouble with her clothes (shes not fast enough with zippers just yet).

[slenle]

I am so bored at work. I have some things that need to be done by I have to wait to get things back first. I've already sent emails asking about them but this person is the worst and sometimes takes weeks to do his job (he doesn't work here, he works for the gov so not much I can do). I asked him to respond to things I submitted on 4/26 and 5/10. This is ridiculous.

And my coworker is out sick again today so I have nobody to even chat with. I'll just continue to twiddle my thumbs.

My hair feels like Barbie hair

kim22 yuck, sorry about the pukes!

I'm taking care of me today by GOING HOME!!! I'm so happy. I'll
Probably hit the new Belgium
Bar in the Denver airport again during my layover, so I guess that counts too? And dh is pulling the kids out of school a bit early so they can all pick me up at the airport and then they are taking me to a belated Mother's Day dinner.

[xolastunicornxo]

Hi from the airport bar... again. I'm having a drink for everyone having a bad day.

Also calishove have you considered leaving snacks in Vs room shop he doesn't get out of his room?

Leaving snacks in a 3 year old's room would worry me. Not only because I wouldn't want my kid to snack all night, but I'd also worry about choking. I'm not always right by C when he's eating and he sneaks food sometimes, but leaving him all night in his dark room with snacks would stress me out.

And bugs. 

Ew. I had not even thought about that.

The new Belgium bar in the Denver airport has the friendliest people ever. I've made a new friend.
