HDBD

[macaronmama]

FFS, is it Friday yet? What do you ladies have going on?

[jwinct]

I feel ya! I wish it was Friday, too!

Well after DH had already dropped DS off at daycare, I realized I forgot to give him his Zyrtec. Poop.

I've been trying to make a list of everything I need to buy and do before Saturday. DH and I are going to Boston Saturday morning for music festival and staying overnight, so his sister is coming down to stay with the kids and is staying for the weekend because we're having a big family cookout at our house on Monday to celebrate all the May birthdays (me, my sister, DH, DD2 and BIL). I took a half day on Friday to finish my grocery/party shopping and to clean and prep, so that we don't have to do too much on Sunday and can enjoy spending time with my SIL. I'm really hoping it doesn't rain all weekend.

I did post a hdbd in the private board if anyone has pics.

[becole]

I took Zyrtec today. It's not enough. I need a decongestant but I'm nursing. Womp womp.

[ksyknelvr73]

I WISH it were Friday. I have to do solo parenting the next 3 nights in a row and not looking forward to it.

Maybe I'm a terrible person, but DH said if we could have sex last night, he'd get up with the kids THROUGH Saturday night if they get up in the MOTN at all. So I took him up on it. This does not solve all of our problems, but it's going to help me survive this week, so yeah.

I actually took a unisom last night b/c my sleep has been crap lately and I slept wonderfully. It was worth it.

[macaronmama]

jwinct, best of luck with the prep, that sounds crazy busy.
becole Allergies are also awful here, they just seem worse this year.
ksyknelvr73, so many eyebrow raises for your DH. Definitely not judging you on taking him up on it, but seriously? That's something he should be offering to do, sexy times or no.

For those people still checking in here - any interest in my reviving the mental health threads?

[sanibel21]

jwinct hope all the planning goes well and you gave a nice time!
Lol to sex tradeoffs ksyknelvr73. Glad you got some sleep.
Yes macaronmama to mental health checkin.
No plans today. Trying to be really present with the girls today as opposed to getting stuff done. Dd1s behavior has been AWFUL. Feel like I'm raising a psychopath lately.

[adouces06]

ksyknelvr73 I'd have done the same if DH offered that to me. You do what you gotta do to survive. I'm glad you got some good sleep!
jwinct are you going to Boston Calling?? My sister is going to that. I've never been but always wondered how it is.
becole sorry about the allergies lady. No fun.
I've been working on redoing one of our forms and making it ADA compliant for our website. Ugh it is taking foreverrrrrr. DH is closing tonight, so I will be solo parenting. Other than that, just another Wednesday over here.

[jwinct]

ksyknelvr73 - I would totally have made that trade, too.

becole - I hope you get some relief soon. Being congested is the suck.

[erien22846]

ksyknelvr73, glad you finally got some good sleep!

[jwinct]

adouces06 - Yes! I won passes for the entire weekend, but we're only going on Saturday. I've never been, either. It seems like it'll be a lot of fun; I'm excited! I honestly have never heard of 99% of the bands that are playing, but it'll be fun to check out all the bands and comedians.

[becole]

The baby didn't take much milk yesterday too. Like one ounce every couple hours. Ate food and nursed a little on me. He's not acting sick. I'm at a loss. I don't know if he's just weaning or what it is.

[ksyknelvr73]

macaronmama he offered to get up in the MOTN for the next 5 nights in a row. We normally trade off every other night. I've been sleeping like crap so it seemed like a sweet deal to me! He is a teacher and his last day of work is this Friday so in all honesty, he'll probably doing the majority of MOTN wakeups throughout the summer since I still have to go to work.

I don't have a real answer, but last week DD wasn't finishing her bottles....any of them. She normally takes 7 oz at a time, and she was leaving 3-4 oz in each bottle. For DAYS. She wasn't sick, nothing ever happened. She is cutting teeth though.

I thought maybe he was weaning but maybe it's teeth. I don't see any but who knows.

[iwantbacon]

I hid my phone in my desk drawer this morning, so I've been relatively productive at work. Now I just want to eat.

DS2 STTN last night, aside from some whining at 1am. I woke up at 5 but still feel tired. Not sure why the tired feeling surprises me--I'm going to feel tired for years.

FFWC: I was hoping DS1s tball practice would get rained out today but it looks like the rain will hold out. He'll be happy though.

+1 here too though I'm not sure if its teeth because I don't feel anything. DH said she ate better yesterday so we shall see.


Work is a ducking gong show today.

I vote for mental health threads macaronmama.

[jcrewgirl]

macaronmama, yes to the MH thread.
ksyknelvr73, good trade.

So over today. I don't feel like working. At. all.

[fem]

macaronmama I'd like the mental health check in to keep happening.

becole I think kids just go through spurts like that. Eat a ton sometimes and what seems like almost nothing others.

We had friends over to play this morning. Everybody's exhausted now so I'm hoping for double rest time. The toddler only slept from 10-5:45 last night. THAT'S LESS THAN 8 HOURS. Why did I get kids who hate sleep?

Taking the kids to daycare at 3. I have a retirement party at 3:30 and DH doesn't get off until 4. It's at a bar!

Two out of three ain't bad I guess.

Sweet merciful, the new Dirty Dancing remake is bad.

I was interested but didn't watch it. Glad I didn't attempt to make the time.

I saw the commercial for it and went NOPE can't do it.  I don't know why they even bother making some of these remakes.

You can't compete with the original. I just heard about it yesterday and was appalled. I'm not surprised it was bad.

FFTC: I have never seen Dirty Dancing🙈

I'm speechless. That's a great "NHIE" though.
