Sweating Snowflakes Sunday

[kim22]

Good morning! How's everyone today? I'm 3 posts away from being a member so today should be the day.

Tomorrow I'm suppose to be administering the new PARCC test at work. DH is going away for a few days for work tomorrow. DD still has a fever. It's suppose to snow so it will be interesting to see how tomorrow plays out with DH's flight and DD's fever. I need a clone.

It's my nephew's birthday party today. I haven't told DD yet that she is not going. That's not going to go over well.

Who's having fun today?

[wineallthetime]

kim22, is she sick?

ggandlee, I hope your husband has a better day today and that you get some rest as well!

@melaniesue, I hope you're hanging in there.

We are having a play date with some of my husbands cousins today. Should be fun! It'd normally be a drinking affair, but they're all fasting

Good morning! We woke up to an unexpected ~4 inches of snow and it's still coming down. It's pretty, but I really need to get to the grocery store today so I'm hoping its done soon.

MH and I both woke up with sore throats, runny noses, and coughs. I'm sure we got what V has. The good news is she slept much better and seems to be feeling better.

trtlcrzy did H sleep better last night? Are you feeling better today?

[weasleymom]

I'm sorry, kim22. I hope you feel better, @elvk583.

We don't have much going on today. Church and visiting family that came up for the weekend.

E is currently working on the nastiest smelling diaper and I'm really hoping that DH comes downstairs just as she's finishing so I can run off and take a shower and he'll change it. I made coffee to make up for my sinister plan of pawning that diaper off on him. Haha.

Yesterday was absolutely gorgeous and I saw everyone saying that Spring is here and all the snow is going to melt. I had to giggle at every one of them because this is the UP and we always get the heaviest snow storms in March. Spring doesn't come until early/mid-may guys. Put your t-shirts away and get the boots back out. Winter is not over! But, we did enjoy all of the sunshine that came through our window yesterday!!

I hope you all have a good day.

[trtlcrzy]

@elvk583 Hannah slept all night! Thank goodness! I still feel crappy but it's ok cause at least I'm rested. It sounds like you may have gotten what I have and I hope you're feeling better soon!

kim22 I hope your DD is feeling better in the morning.

wedding sorry you're dealing with the man flu. Tell him you don't want to hear about it.

@mx2 I'm so glad you got good sleep last night! I hope the weather people are wrong and it doesn't rain so you can still go today.

Morning!

E is down for a nap so I'm catching up. I was MIA yesterday because we took E to the children's museum and then H let me relax/sleep for a while in the afternoon. trtlcrzy, thanks for checking in on me - I'm okay, just sore and have some bruises on my hip from the seatbelt. 2.0 has been doing lots of gymnastics to make me feel better, though. Now we need to figure out when we can brig my car to tr shop because it needs some body work.

H is taking E to the nursing home today to visit his dad, and I'm staying home to work. I'm tempted to nap while they're gone, but I really do have to work. I'm just glad to get out of a visit with MIL.

ggandlee, I hope your H is doing better today.

@peachsmama, I'm sorry you didn't get an excited reaction to pregnancy news. We are all super excited, though!

Cherhorowitz, our appliances are kitchenaid. I like them, but we have had some issues with the fridge being a bit noisy - it resolved on its own, so I'm thinking the side of the fridge may have been up against a wall, but who knows. The dishwasher isn't loud but definitely isn't as silent as a Bosch.

cagoldi, I hope the urgent care appointment today goes better than your first appointment.

melaniesue05, I'm sorry for the loss of your uncle. You guys are having a really rough week. Time for the universe to throw some good things your way!

I'm sure I'm missing people, but suffice to say I'm thinking of you all.

[kim22]

wineallthetime DD has had a fever since I picked her up at school Friday. It's hit 105 twice. She really doesn't have any other symptoms. Once Motrin kicks in she is ok until it wears off. She took the news of no party really well. She made a card for her cousin saying "I hope you have fun at your party."

ljgs1010 hope your soreness goes away quickly. Glad 2.0 is doing well!

[kim22]

This should be my member post. DD just gave me a little piece of paper that says mom. She said it's my ticket to Jamaica and my coachman will pick me up in 30 minutes! I'm ready, who wants to meet me there?

[Cherhorowitz]

Hi!

I need one of those!

[ljgs1010]

LOLOLOL DH.

He just announced that the toilet is clogged and blamed it on me. I'm not the one who used it today. Guess who used it twice??

Nice try, dude.

[kellykinns]

Finally in FL. Frontier sent my baggage to Miami instead of Orlando. Doug puked on me during the flight. They made me give up my window seat that I paid for because an old lady sat there first. I mean Jesus, just ask.

How long are you in Orlando for? We're having a gtg there next week!

[ggandlee]

kim22 Take me with you!! Please!! I'm desperate and begging!!!

tgrimes1980 I'm sorry today is going to be a hard day. Hugs for you and T&Ps for peace and remembering the good, happy times with your friend.

@dh was up like 20 times overnight trying to pee. Between that, his snoring, giving him his pain meds, and getting up with M in the middle of the night and at the crack of dawn this morning, I am freaking exhausted. I need a shower, an eyebrow wax, a hair cut and color, a couple of vodka tonics, and some miracle under eye disappearing bag cream. I was hoping to take M for a long walk today, but the rainy cold weather seem to have other plans for us.

Did Doug at least also puke on the old lady that stole your window seat?

Nope just me. I'd love to change my outfit but it's in Miami.

[wineallthetime]

ggandlee, do you have anyone who can come help for a bit??

We are having a day over here. C is so cranky and I have no clue why. We canceled our plans and are parenting from the couch with drinks.

DS is currently napping in my arms

We're going to lunch when he gets up and then to a friends house to watch basketball. Which I'm sure means the dads watch while the moms parent

I get so jealous of you guys who have babies who nap in your arms! C hasn't done that in like a year

[ggandlee]

wineallthetime Unfortunately we don't really have anyone that can help today. His parents live two hours away, mine are eight hours away, his sister and her husband just moved 45 minutes away and she is working today. I may call a friend and see if she wants to meet up with M and I later this afternoon so that MH can nap in peace without M yelling in the background. M will be back at daycare starting tomorrow, so I will just be taking care of DH during the day and it will be much easier. My mom comes in town next Saturday so that I can go back to work. She can't get here soon enough.
I feel like a bitch complaining about anything because I have the easy job. My neck wasn't split open with my c-spine getting effed with and shit drilled into it. I really can't imagine how he is feeling. The least I can do is make him a sandwich, hand him some pills, and help him attempt to get comfortable. My fatigue and need to get out of the house are very petty complaints. All of this is temporary and I need to get over myself now.

[klongoria11]

Packed up the bottles. I think I will take pictures of all the baby stuff we have that needs to go and see if I can get rid of it on the mom swap group I'm a part of on FB. It is sad to see it go, but I know there is no reason to keep it.

MH is heading to the grocery store while Cadence naps. Which means I just to sit on the couch and enjoy a little peace and quiet. Hopefully at least an hour of it.

Cadence is apparently in the mood to hit. She keeps hitting herself and me today. I've tried to redirect her by telling her nice people give hugs. Then she gives hugs and kisses all around. It seems to help in the moment, but then she hits again a short time later. Oddly enough she only hits me and herself, she has never hit anyone else.

I hope everyone who is sick starts feeling better and no one has to deal with vomiting or poopsplosions today!!

[Deleted]

Sounds like a rough night @mothereffer. I'm sorry. I hope you get some rest today and Silas feels better soon.

[cagoldi]

ggandlee It's okay to complain. Although it's temporary, that's really hard! Is his urinary retention improving? That has to be so miserable.

ljgs1010 Thanks. Going to do Pulmicort for a couple days and touch base with her again. If the cough and congestion aren't better by Wednesday, we'll see her again. She wasn't even working urgent care today, but came in just to check him out. I don't like her colleagues, but she is a doll. Glad 2.0 is somersaulting in there and giving you some reassurance!

A will be going down for a nap soon. He's not a great sleeper, but yesterday did 1 hour 40 minutes and we're hoping for a repeat.

Pete happened across Peppa Pig this morning, and A has been imitating that snarf sound. He keeps yelling, "pig, ooooaaaarrrkkk!" Ok, weirdo. What a strange show. Has anyone ever seen the very first episode of Sesame Street? It includes a naked child showering, a kid going to her teacher's house for cookies, and a really weird video about milk featuring a song titled "Hey Cow, I See You Now." Check it out.

[cagoldi]

kellykinns Not a great way to start vacation? How thrilled are your parents to see you though? Hope you have a great time!

[trtlcrzy]

kellykinns it can only get better from here right? Enjoy your vaca in the warmth.

@mothereffer poor Si! and poor you for having to clean all of that in the middle of the night. I hope little man is feeling better soon.

What protein goes with polenta?

I have not had polenta, but chicken goes with everything? Right?

[wineallthetime]

@mx2, So cute. He has gorgeous eyes!

[JoeLies]

Hi all. C is down for his afternoon nap after lunch out with my parents. They were over for about an hour before we left and C was a wreck the whole time, despite taking a morning nap. He just cut his 4th molar so maybe it's still sore? Or he just really doesn't like my parents. Who knows? Hopefully he'll be in a bit of a better mood for the evening.

Hugs kellykinns. What an awful trip.

kfran84 - I think everything goes with polenta, except maybe salmon. White fish, chicken, pork or beef would all work.

I hope he takes a long nap for you! My kid is a disaster today, no clue why.Not tired, hungry, teething or sick.
