I think we might get the call from daycare to pick up E early today. We had to wake her up from both of her naps after 2.5 -3 hours each yesterday and she had some kind of rash starting last night that looked a little worse this morning but no fever so I sent her. She doesn't seem like she doesn't feel good mood wise, but I have a feeling something is coming on.
My spam: I fell asleep last night at 7:30 clutching my forehead because I had a raging headache. I slept all the way until 7am with LO's wakeups of course (12, 2:30, 5) but I still feel so freakin tired. This heat wave is kicking the shit out of me.
dmorgendorffer I hope LO isn't getting sick! Crossing my fingers for you.
Not much happening today just prepping the house and us for our trip. So laundry, picking up last minute odds and ends and the like. I don't want to go on the trip so it's hard to be motivated.

DS has entered the baby talk phase. He is now making "da" "do" "ga" and "ba" sounds. He was really letting his fox have it this morning. It is the cutest thing ever! This has been a big week for him. He just started rolling both ways last Monday and now we're getting vowel/consonant sounds. No wonder we've had at least 3 MOTN wake ups all week.

Piggybacking on yesterday's spam.
I just sent my oldest out the door for his first day of driver's ed. I just don't know how to reconcile in my mind that I have a 6 foot tall almost 15 year old son. He looks like a man. Life is going by too quickly.
As for DH's sister's wedding, I think it hurts his feelings because he is close to his sister. They are 9 years apart and half-siblings, but they are close. She was in our wedding even though I wasn't thrilled about it because I wanted to keep it small, but I felt I had to have her in the wedding because she is his sister. I am fairly certain two things are causing this: his sister's age and cheap, tacky in-laws.
His sister is 22 and really shouldn't get married at this point. She is basically getting married this year because February 28th falls on a weekend and she just has to get married on that day because it is the day of their first date. The family suggested that she wait, but she said she wasn't waiting until she was 26/27 to get married. Her future in-laws sound like some cheap asses. They said the only way they would pay for the rehearsal dinner is if they controlled the guest list. His mom was super uncomfortable telling him that he wasn't invited. I think she is stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. She doesn't want to start drama by saying something about excluding family, but she doesn't think it is right. DH did have a conversation with his grandmother last night about this and is planning to talk to his mom when we see her this weekend in Ohio.
I love my DH and his family, but there is a reason why he lives 12 hours from them. He has come a long way to overcome some of the interesting elements of his family. It sounds like his sister has found ILs that are as interesting as her family. All I can say is that he grew up in a completely different environment than I did.
What is up with 3 year olds? Seriously. Everything is a reason to tantrum. She is having a fit right now cause I gave her orange juice after she asked for orange juice. And its only 8:30.
lotsofdotts- wedding etiquette is super tricky and also very regional. Around here, generally speaking, the groom's family pays for the rehearsal dinner though.
In my case, my IL's refused to pay for ours because they are Jewish and we weren't actually having a ceremony rehersal since "Jews don't rehearse weddings customarily." I had a lot of out of town guests specifically my family and some friends so we wanted to host a dinner something rather the Friday night.
In the end, we paid for it though. We invited the wedding party plus their significant others and all immediate family members (they were in the wedding party though). I also invited two of my college friends since they were driving from NH and NC respectively plus their dates.
My spam: Well, nothing really except it is disgustingly hot out here today.
dmorgendorffer hopefully LO kicks the illness before it really takes hold toadandbuggie feel better! Maybe you'll get a nap in. miniwheat hope your toddler gives you a break today

Oh man!
Yesterday we got a meltdown after she asked for a candy (potty treat) and then received it. Wtf?
I'm also wondering if daycare will be calling me today. DS was coughing a little yesterday and then several times overnight. Then this morning after I fed him he coughed and then threw up.
I think the throw up was from eating too fast, though. Or at least I hope he doesn't have another bug. Ugh, poor guy.

lotsofdotts, that's a sucky situation with your H and his family wedding drama. All you can do is be supportive and remind him of all the stupid shit you did when you were 22 (at least I did a lot of stupid shit at 22). On the bright side, at least his mom acknowledges its messed up.
Wedding etiquette is the worst. This is precisely why H and I paid for everything ourselves and only accepted money from our parents after the wedding as a gift.

lotsofdotts deciding to get married because the day you want happens to be on a weekend next year seems like a questionable choice. It's funny to me that she doesn't want to wait until she is 26 or 27, like that is so far off or too old - I guess when you are in your early 20's your mid 20's seems so old, until you get there.
I agree with the etiquette that has been mentioned by the other posters. DH's parents paid for the rehearsal dinner and we invited the wedding party and our out of town guests. For us that included all immediate family. Are her finance's parents also paying for part of the wedding or is the wedding party made up of like 15 bridesmaids and 15 groomsmen? Those are really the only way I could maybe understand them wanting to limit the budget / guest list, but even in that case I think they should contribute what they want towards the dinner and leave the guest list up to the couple getting married.
For some reason, the hospital that I had DD in sent me a bill recently. The date of service was 2/4/2015 which was my due date (I didn't have her until 2/12). I guess I had some blood work done on that day (honestly don't remember) but why am I now getting a bill for $15.85. So weird. Need to give them a call!

My spam thus far--I won $200 playing slots last night online. I love living in NJ and playing slots from the comfort of my couch.
I drove the Audi on Saturday to run an errand and I noticed the check engine light was on. Since having the baby H and I switched cars, and I hardly get to drive it anymore. I come back from the errand and I'm like wtf... How long has it been on? Ugh. Long story short, the car needed to go through inspection last month and with the big storm and Fourth of July...we never took it. It can't pass inspection with a warning light on! Yesterday in a last ditch effort before calling to schedule service I went out and tightened the gas cap--light is off! Now I need to take it to get inspected this week.
My DD1 has a "diaper" rash. We noticed it last night and it looked so red I'm suspecting it has something to do with potty training we started a couple weeks ago. It looks better this morning but if it doesn't clear up on it's own I'll probably be going to the doctor.
Any suggestions for ointments I can try or experience with this? I'm not sure if it's just irritation (from learning how to wipe) or yeasty...

My hospital lab pathology group charges an extra fee for "reviewing" all results that get sent out (that I run btw because I work there). But because they are from an independent company the have a separate bill. It could be something like that....
