MBF 8/24

[soon2bmrsn]

I have a bunch today. Beware!

1. In addition to the incident Friday during which I thought one of my children was missing, DS1 also had a poop accident on his 2nd day of school. Luckily, it seemed to be handled discretely, but man. FML.
2. Also Thursday/Friday, we had a situation here at work during which a mentally unstable former student kept showing up and trying to get into he school. It was messed up. I love my job, but going out Columbine style is not something I want. Scary stuff.
3. Bloody boob is back. I don't get it. I don't want to wean, but this blows.
4. Also on Friday (what a day!) our house was professionally cleaned for the first time. Everything looked amazing except for the huge scratch she put in our ($$$) wood floors. We were kind of able to fill it in with this special pencil thing and move the rug slightly, but still. So I have to send an awkward text today... 

I think that's it.

DS has diarrhea again, and a terrible diaper rash. He is in so much pain, he can't even close his legs. I'm so frustrated and feel so bad for him. Thinking now it's intolerance to certain foods but have no idea what.

soon2bmrsn, I would be so mad about the floor!

so sorry. Food allergies are the worst!

My mom actually told me that when my sister had a really bad virus and had terrible diarrhea for days that the pedi told her to ditch the creams and use a baby powder that also has corn starch in it. She said the rash cleared up by the end of the day.

It's like that period of time where we have to go to all the doctors and it's been exhausting. In the last 2w we have been to the pedi 2x, cardiologist and now today I have back to back appointments with the pedi and dermatologist. If we don't get done at the pedi in time I'm going to have to just leave because the derm is 45m away and it takes forever to get an appointment. Next week is the ENT doctor. I know she needs to see all these doctors for checkups and whatnot but man it's exhausting and $$. I know we are very fortunate because she is very healthy and I couldn't imagine what some families go through so I try to not complain but just needed to bitch today.

I'm starting to think this with LO too. I stripped the diapers this weekend to make sure it wasn't that, but I have a sneaky suspicion that she's struggling with fish. I didn't tolerate it well as a kid (and still don't, but that's just because of my reactions as a kid), and she keeps ending up with a rash after she gets tuna at DCP. I'm just waiting for it to happen again to prove my theory.

Definitely a Monday. Kids are crazy, DS is being really mean to the twins.

Then I went to make lunch and came back to find SOMEONE had completely emptied DD1's sippy of milk on the floor and she was flopping in it like a water slide just giggling her head off. There was milk everywhere, the toy chest, the floor, I had to hose her down... Meanwhile DS had taken the empty sippy and was running around laughing hysterically about "the baby get all wet, ahahaha, da baby!" DD2 was watching with the biggest grin, like "YYASSSS."

I think DH owes me a mocha at lunch.

I think DH owes you more than a mocha.

M just screamed bloody murder for 30 mins going down for her nap. Good god. Gas drops and Tylenol were used. I pray she stays down for a bit. Bedtime was like this too. DNW a repeat.

I hope it's just a fluke and she's back to her goodnatured self soon!

No fun hoping bedtime is easier

Well, you ladies all surely beat the ginormous poopdiaper that LO had before I was trying to get him to daycare. So bad it leaked out over the diaper. I was fortunate that I caught it soon enough that it didn't destroy his shirt, at least. But it did take 2 diapers, a poop-covered changing pad, and he lost his shorts to it.

I'm still coming to terms with how outgunned I'm going to be at work. DNW. At least school started...

I've got nothing. I had a great day at the beach and DD napped like a champ in the stroller for 1.5 at the beach so I just laid there and pretended I was at the beach alone. I'll have some serious BF next week when I have to go back to work though!

@jane2614 thanks for the recommendation, I'm sending DH out for cornstarch when he buys more soy milk. Hoping it helps.
Eta: Hope you feel better soon!

Tonight's Kung Pao chicken tastes especially spicy. That's all I've got for today, so I'll take it.

I have the same complaint every day. Why won't you fing sleep kid!!! I'm so sick of being tired from a shitastic night sleep. We started to bring her to bed if it's after midnight. Nope still doesn't help. She just tosses and turns. Ugh... what did I do to deserve this?

DD sleeps horrible in our bed. (Unless she's being held) I always wonder how people's kids sleep well with them! She moves a LOT. It's either crib or bust in our house.

Yea. If I don't bring her to bed then I'm in her room 4-5 times a night. At least if she's in bed then I don't have to get up which means I can fall asleep faster once she settles.

She went down to sleep at 8:15 and we've already been in her room 3 or 4 times...

I was talking to my OB today about DD being a horrible sleeper and how it just got better over the last couple of weeks. She said her twins didn't STTN until they were 3. It made me want to cry thinking about it. I have some anxiety some nights thinking we are going to revert back to waking up all night long! I hope C snaps out of the bad sleeping for you ASAP!!

I thought DS1 was a shitty sleeper but at least he STTN consistently at this age. DS2 still wakes up during the night and is up for the day super early but I know he's teething so sleep training at this point isn't really an option. I hope these teeth don't take months to cut through.

I hate to will time away but this age is just not my favorite. I'll take the threenager attitude over this anytime.
