I'm still sick but i am so happy that I have 2 delicious blueberry muffins waiting for me in the kitchen for breakfast. And my mil got a 25 dollar gift card to Starbucks from work and didn't want it so she gave it to me and I am so excited

My DH didn't have to work last night. At 3am, we both woke up and had ST finally. Then I went back to sleep. Woke up this morning and he made me breakfast. Best. Day. Ever.
I can't wait for today to be over though so I can sleep in.

Mac has been sick and not sleeping this week. I think we're making the trip to walk in this morning because the congestion is unreal, he can't breathe no matter what we do and he's trying to cough up phlegm but is rarely successful. I hate walk in, but I want my boy to get better so we're doing it.
Also, I want a peanut butter sandwich so bad right now.
Asking for good vibes a happy thoughts today. We have an appointment in a few hours and I'm a ball of nerves. No particular reason to be scared, but I think we've decided to skip the quad screening and the "must know it all" inside is writhing in pain.

My random is a rant: Yesterday my bonus baby asked to take his toothbrush home with him. I told him it had to stay here with us and he looked defeated. Hubs asked him if he had a toothbrush at home and he made an akward face and avoided the question. So instead we asked him if he brushes his teeth at home and looked at the ground and shook his head no. This lit me on fire. Are you kidding me?! We are barely making ends meet because BM gets 60% of our paycheck and she can't get him a freaking toothbrush?! My son already doesn't speak fondly of her and it just grinds my gears that she's taking this much money and none of it is going to him. His hair is never combed, his pants and shoes never fit, he's always crying that she beats him. It grinds my gears.
He asked if he could stay with us for one billion plus one years and I almost started crying and said yes. I don't wanna get his hopes up because every sunday night he has to go home. We've just been getting lucky and BM is so caught up in her new boytoy that she doesn't want my bonus baby around. Ugh.
We have our first meeting to hopefully get an IEP in place for DD2. I am very much hoping the school will be supportive instead of asshats. I am so emotional right now that the aftermath could be ugly.

Ugh. What an awful situation. If he says that she is abusing him or has marks, etc. you should be able to call in the report yourself. (You can in Iowa). I don't know if you have before. It's such a tough tough situation. I wish he could stay with you guys forever, too. I forget how old he is and I really hope it isn't at this point, but even an old non-serviced phone will call 9-1-1 as long as it's charged. Some kiddos like to hide one in their room or bag when they feel scared at one house. So many hugs.

This made me cry, that is so sad. I don't understand BMs who collect child support checks and use it on themselves. If your child already has all the necessities maybe you can take a little and do something for yourself. But why in the entire fuck does a 4 year old NOT have a toothbrush??! Can't you report her or something based on everything he's told you? Is it an option for you and SO to file for full custody?

At the very least, I would be gathering evidence for neglect. But children very, very seldom lie about abuse. Just him saying that she beats him would be enough for a call to child protective services.

ladyannibal your rant just made me tear up. I feel so bad for your bonus son. I would start collecting evidence of neglect for sure and start looking up information of how to get him out of that mess.
We have our first meeting to hopefully get an IEP in place for DD2. I am very much hoping the school will be supportive instead of asshats. I am so emotional right now that the aftermath could be ugly.
Good luck! I'm a teacher and often have to fight to get my students what they need on their IEPs. It shouldn't be this hard!
ladyannibal- I hope you can work out a different custody agreement. Poor little guy.
@rach let me know if you need help - I'm a special Ed teacher and I know all the rights and what you should be able to get. Keep fighting the good fight.

This makes me so sad. I don't have any advice for you, but just wanted to let you know I'm thinking of you guys and hoping for the best.

I had a really crummy work week. Well, really I had one class all week that was TERRIBLE. A student had a really tough time and thrashed out to the point I had to call the office for help. 8 years teaching and I've never had that happen before. I'm struggling in deciding to be a SAHM, but after a week like this one I'm leaning towards it even more.
I do not work Fridays. I sent DD to daycare though so I could clean the house/laundry and meal prep. I may get a haircut too if they can get me in. I feel guilty I'm not spending the day with her though.
ladyannibal What a frustrating situation. Hoping things work out for your bonus son and your family.
rach It's so good that you are a parent that actually wants to be involved in their child's IEP and advocate for your child. So many parents in schools where I work don't even show up for the meetings. Hope it goes well!!
emeraldeyed315 Sorry you had a rough week! Do not feel guilty about DD going to daycare! We all need a catch-up day every now and then. She'll have fun with her friends at school.
My random: I **think** I might finally be better after having a stomach bug (that I caught from DS) since Monday! I am hardly ever sick and this has been a very humbling week. Tried to go to work two days and had to come home at lunch. So just stayed home today....hope I don't take a bad turn in a few hours but feel good now!

Got to hear baby's HB at the 16 week appt yesterday! DH had to be at work, but I recorded a short video and sent it to him so he could still hear (he was so excited!). Also, scheduled the anatomy scan...4 more weeks! Can't wait to see our baby for the first time.
