Thursday Spamalot

[WittyLittle]

badw0lf I'm so sprry to hear about your grandma's stroke! You're right, it is so difficult to see great people deteriorate wishing you lots of strength!

[kartish]

badw0lf sorry about your grandma, T&Ps for your family.

After so many nights of wake ups every two hours or less, LO decided to condense them almost all of them into the 4 o'clock hour last night. Woo progress?

[mands1125]

badw0lf sorry to hear about your gma!

My spam is that it is food truck day in the corporate center. There were sooooooo many good choices. Wanted the tater tot truck but opted for the pulled chicken taco salad. It was good but now I wish I got the tots. Sad face.

badw0lf thoughts and prayers for your grandma

Night 1 of deswaddling was horrendous. We were up at 930, 11, 145, 4, 5, and 6. I knew it would be a long night so I'm hoping it just gets better. I'm going to start drinking coffee at 8 pm tonight.

[WittyLittle]

Update on the hornets situation! The exterminators came. We have to keep the windows on that side of the house closed, and they said that the nest had been etched so far into our wall that there's only the plasterwork left. I wondered how they knew this until I looked at the wall, which is now cracked and will need to be completely repaired. I'm SO glad I trusted my gutt and forced someone to come today, it was only a matter of time before they'd scratch through the rest of the wall and potentially hurt Jake What's left of my wall has gone quiet with only the occassional crackle or tick. At least we'll be able to sleep tonight- lack of ventilation and peculiar smell allowing. GROSS GROSS GROSS!!!

Hugs!!! It gets better. Even if not right away, it WILL get better. (I know you know that, but hopefully it helps being reminded of it. It really.does.get.better. )

That's so crazy! I'm glad they were able to take care of it. Way to trust your gut, momma.

badw0lf I am so sorry about your grandma.

I had my tooth extraction and graft today. It was hands down the worst experience of my life. I had a panic attack and cried during most of it. Hearing your own tooth snapping is horrid. To make everything extra fun, I woke up with double pink eye. Again. WTF. I am ragey. I am still having bleeding which is freaking me out too. When I am better I am going to drink so much booze.

Oh noooo I'm so sorry! Oh that does sound horrible! But you did it, you did the whole thing!!! Despite panic attacks AND a repeat of pink eye. In your position I would be so f'ing proud of myself. Seriously!

And I did!

I scored tons of clearance toys. A pair of Mom shorts to cover my Mom thighs. Shoes.
And best of all - a Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 car seat for $104! I paid $111 on Amazon yesterday for the same seat, just a different color.

No fun! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

badw0lf, sorry about your gma

miniwheat, that sounds absolutely horrible. On the bright side, at least it's over? I'm sorry your day sucked so bad.

Question--my jumper for DD says that her feet should be on her toes, not flat footed. I posted a video on Instagram of her jumping and my friend that's a physical therapist commented her feet should be flat when not jumping. Which one is it? Flat or tip toes?

My jumper says toes too. I have no idea what's best.
Eta maybe she mistyped and meant should not be flat?

I was wondering where you were! Glad all is well!

[WittyLittle]

miniwheat how are you doing now? Feeling any better yet?

Thanks everyone.
@miniwheat00 that sounds terrible!! Drink all the wine.
mands1125 we should have met up at the food trucks!
WittyLittle I'm so glad you got someone out today. Hornets are terrifying.

Any news on how your nan is doing?

[GeekBeagle]

I keep getting calls from telemarketers at work. I have learned not to answer anything from an unknown area code. I just wish they'd leave me alone already. I have absolutely no buying power.

I think its supposed to be flat footed for activities like standing and walking (so also chilling in an activity center), and toes just for bouncing (otherwise the ankles and knees get too much shock). But i base that on memiries of daycare training 10 years ago so it might be wrong/have chsnged.

My extraction area is still bleeding, which is kind of freaking me out but is apparently normal at this point. I had some ice cream and soup and took pain meds so I am feeling ok right now. My pink eye medicine is working too. Thanks for asking!

[taberbtb]

badw0lf T&P's to your grandmother.

junebugjam hoping you have a better night tonight.

Background story- myself and my family are self employed, and I have only been working M&F since DD was 6 weeks old.

This morning my parents left for the east coast for two weeks, which means I am back to work full time until they get back. I ugly cried when I realized I may not make it home in time to see B before bed tonight.

Kudos to all the working mamas on here! Leaving LO everyday is hard yo, and this is just the first day!

I just asked her, and she basically just said what you did. 

Shes a pediatric physical therapist and says that she gets a lot of 'toe walkers' from being in their jumpers a lot. 

I had had never heard that. Interesting.
