Headed to work on 3 1/2 hours of sleep. Should be a productive day. On a positive note, H and I decided well wait and do CIO during the Thanksgiving weekend when he'll be just a little over 5 months.
I think were teething but can't be sure. We stopped reflux meds a few days ago bc he's been eating w/o crying but is super congested now. Going to take him to a new ped this week and reassess. He loved the shower steam to clear his nose up this morning- thanks for that recommendation.
Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone is more rested than me haha.
I'm teaching fourth grade writing today. I love this school.
My throat is scratchy. Noooo. I have H buying me some vitamin C drops, although he said he'll only go out if "her temperament is good". Please, she's in a good mood 99% of the time.
I just dropped the kids off at school. DS had a meltdown of the year as I was dropping off S so I had to go get him out of his classroom and have a little chat with him in the lobby. That was super fun!

I scheduled both boys their checkups this morning (4 years/4 months) thinking I'd take the day off with them, but I'm way too deep in trial prep, so instead they get to come to Work with me this morning before the appointments. This should be. .. interesting.

Any time I feel something coming on I use zinc lozenges with vitamin c and it really helps. Hopefully hubby gets your vitamin c today.

Sorry to everyone who is feeling sick!
I'm having some issues with my supply- pumped an oz less than usual yesterday at all 4 of my work sessions...hoping it was just a fluke but I have some fenugreek in my Amazon cart JIC.
This morning I'll have to pack the kids up and take DD to her 4 month checkup/immunizations. We'll see how that goes to determine what we do this afternoon
Hope everyone has a good one!
ETA-oh. And likely eating lots and lots of thanksgiving leftovers today, please
B is definitely teething. Drooling constantly, hands in mouth, fussing for no reason (not tired, hungry, or in need of a change). It's so sad to see him this way. We have a frozen teething ring, but he's shown no interest in that. I also have the mesh food teether things, but he's not on solids yet, so maybe I'll try some BM.
I am going away for a girls weekend on Friday (bachelorette party up in Boston for one of my dearest friends. Wedding is NYE) and I am having some major anxiety about leaving B with DH all weekend, traveling alone and my pumping/transporting of milk situation. Ugh. I know everything will likely be fine- I'm just stressed about it. I hope I can enjoy myself. I am seriously looking forward to two nights of blissful, uninterrupted sleep.
V's cold is a bit worse this morning and I'm getting progressively more sick too. I took the morning off because we can't send him to daycare for a few days due to chicken pox issues, so leaving to take him to my MIL's house in a few minutes so that I can head into work. I really wish I could take the whole day off, but I was already out two days last week for him when he was sick, and the teacher aides in my room are really going to hate me if I keep missing school.
I had been doing well with accepting that I'm back at work, but this is pulling me back into the spiral of anger and sadness that I'm not still home with him.
This is my fear....if T gets too sick for daycare I have no idea what we will do. I get zero sick days at my current job and I'm not even sure how wed go about rescheduling patients. Hopefully Hs boss would let him leave to get him until my new job starts in January
We have this patient that is so rude every time she calls or comes in for her visits. She talks over you, tries to use big words to trip you up (and she just sounds like an idiot). She just came in and I said hello to her, and she completely ignored me. Instead, she decided to bitch at me because we are a podiatrist's office that doesn't have any ramps outside the building. I politely showed her where the ramps were in our plaza and she said, "Oh, so you're going to make me walk 2 blocks to get up a ramp." I just stared at her....

I got to sleep in my bed last night! Stupid broken sleep number. It was nice while it lasted. T even slept 5 or so hrs. Why am I so tired?
I perused the Holiday Shop, cute stuff! But all I want now is a clean empty house and all the yarn my heart desires. Any one else have hobbies on hold?
Taking some clothes to our local JBF consignment sale tonight. I'm excited to shop tomorrow night, already making my list.
I'm letting my kids watch Veggie Tales, and T is snoozing in my lap. Time to close my eyes...

Stopped at a light this morning I reached up and felt something in my hair. It felt like popcorn and I thought "how did I get popcorn in my hair?" Wasn't popcorn. It was a bee. Which then proceeded to sting me.

alayne926, erbear - not allergic, but the bee didn't die either. when I stopped at the gas station I heard him buzzing around and rolled down the window so I didn't get stung again.

We had a busy weekend... 2 Thanksgiving dinners! That part was awesome, but everyone insisted that DD1 and my nephew sit beside each other at dinner because "it would be so cute" (They are 3 months apart.)
SIL failed to mention that nephew was sick. He took a bread roll from the basket and licked it. SIL said "You already have one! Here, DD1 can have this one!", as she hands my daughter the one that he'd just slobbered all over. It was in her mouth before I had the chance to object. This morning we woke up to a sick 2 year old who has been pretty inconsolable all day.
This isn't the first time that this has happened. They never reschedule plans or even let us know when their kids are sick.
budders I'm so sorry, it must be so hard being at work right now. The thought of going back to work makes me so anxious. I've always hated my job and I know I'll resent it so bad. Get well soon, both of you!
So MIL excelled in shittiness this weekend at Thanksgiving dinner. She was showing off to BIL's new gf by just being deliberately obnoxious to me. Aside from slagging off my family and my parenting, she chose to announce 'jokingly' that the family had been discussing how when I was in the UK they thought I "might not come back to Canada with our baby" and what theyd do about it. I was so fucking angry on so many levels. H also did not appreciate her very public suggestion that I was going to walk out on him so he called her on it. Discussion ensued. I just sat there wanting the floor to swallow me up...Jesus, nothing like the holidays to bring out all the drama.
. Wow just wow I think your MIL officially qualifies as wicked witch of the west. I would have lost my shit over that!

Omg!! This happened to me last week but it was a wasp! I thought my hair was stuck in my jacket because it felt like hair pulling stinging and I reached my hand over and pulled a wasp away! I was only driving for about 5 minutes but I was so paranoid I didn't kill it and it was going to fly back and bite the kids! A bee seems so much scarier though.

Interesting Tuesday so far.... 1. The Chicago Bears mascot is visiting our office today for our event we're putting on for the community on Crucial Catch Breast Cancer Awareness! 2. Our entire building (my office is on top of a clinic) had to be evacuated just now because some jackass 18 year old kid "accidentally" sprayed mace in our open air waiting room/front desk area while here with his girlfriend who was certifying for WIC. Which means there were NEWBORNS in our waiting room. I would be so fucking livid!!!!!!

What an idiot. How do you accidently do something like that?
Came home to LO being all cute and smiley and then she freaked OUT. Totally unlike her. She ate an hour before but I'm not sure what's wrong so I'm nursing her. I think she's teething, but won't they eat less then?

We've been having this too. Definitely not eating any less.

budders, I'm glad your day is getting a little better, it sounds like you've been having such a hard time.
We also had Dash's 4 month appt today and I got my flu shot. He's napping now but when he wakes up I think we're headed out to get a humidifier to hopefully kick his cold faster and maybe a sit me up.
I decided to start supplementing with formula because he is with me all day and usually all night so I don't really have any free time to pump and it was stressing me out not having a surplus of milk for him. My friend also made me a little nervous when I mentioned we just got formula she asked if it was in case of an earthquake, I realized I don't have anything substantial in place in the event of a natural disaster. I was okay with that pre-baby but now I am going to start building my bunker! (we're in the PNW so an earthquake is fairly likely in the near future!)
He had his first non-family babysitters last night, a couple expecting their first in Nov. He did not do great, cried on and off the whole time, wouldn't sleep, or take his bottle. I feel so bad that he was such a handful.

We have family like this. I just don't get it. It makes me ragey.
billyhorrible That's pretty much my worst nightmare. I would have freaked out and totaled my car.
budders That's terrible. Seriously, who does that? Because we NEED more to make us paranoid.
