Heyyy you guys {Monday}

[lilyelayne]

What's happening? Weather induced long weekend?

[mishka29]

LO slept like a rock last night. 7 to 7 with only two tiny wakes with a cry then right back. But now of course DH has caught her stomach big and is off today. Thankfully it seems the kids inherited my stronger constitution so they don't get sick much or for long.

[kerrigrooves]

Broncos won! For those of you who read my rant about our friends bringing a knowingly sick kid to a football gaterhing last week, my LO ended up contracting Hand, foot and mouth. Our weekend sucked. He was miserable with sores all over his bum and H,F&M. His fever is now gone but the blisters remain. He was up a lot on Sat night but slept 12 hrs last night and is napping again.

LEAVE YOUR SICK KIDS AT HOME - from now on, we're checkin in with this particular family before we see them, bc this is the 3rd time they brought a super sick kid out.

Wow, wow, wow! It totally sucks that they did that and worse that your LO got sick as a result of them being shity people. I think it's a great idea to check with them in the future before you see them. But I would also make sure they know that your LO ended up sick with it too. Maybe it will make them think next time before they inflict their sick kid on others.

kerrigrooves, sorry that you LO is sick! My DS had H,F&M in September. Just keep giving DS fluids! And stay far away from that family!

[kaydee0402]

mishka29, yay for a good night of sleep!

[kaydee0402]

lilyelayne, at mass yesterday, they discussed the Fat Tuesday party. It reminded me that Mardi Gras is coming up so i know you must be excited! Any big plans?

[kaydee0402]

Nothing fun or exciting here. My sister's baby shower with our friends in Virginia is this weekend, so I'm looking forward to that.

I have to figure out what to give up for Lent, as I was reminded yesterday that it's two and a half weeks away. Ugh.

I attempted to get to work today but the trains were a mess and I ended up coming back home. DH is also home with DD so at least we can trade off watching her and both get some work done this way. Our town has done a terrible job clearing the roads, everything is pretty much one lane wide and the parking at the train station was basically not cleared at all. I really can't complain about being able to stay home though.

Hoping we can get a couple pics of E on the sled today, but when she is all bundled up with her snow pants on she has a hard time sitting up on her own.

[dmorgendorffer]

kerrigrooves that sounds awful - so inconsiderate to go spreading illness and also I know DD would rather be home than dragged out to some party when she is feeling miserable and sick.

[aggiebug]

kerrigrooves I would be livid. That is completely unacceptable. I am sorry.


Today is DD's birthday. It's hard to believe she is one. I am so thankful for that happy silly girl. Thankfully she is 100% back to normal today; unfortunately I am not although mostly better and H is absolutely useless. So between that and being snowed in there isn't much excitement here. I am not sure she is even going to get cake

[dmorgendorffer]

aggiebug Happy Birthday to your babybug! Glad to hear she is feeling better and I hope she has a great day!

Once when we were snowed in for DH's birthday I ended up making him this cake from scratch because we had all the ingredients on hand. It was super easy and actually really good. I made a flour based frosting for the top - it was something like this, again picked because I had all those ingredients already on hand. That actually was the best frosting I've ever made.

And after looking at these recipes I'm thinking maybe we'll have a cake in honor of your DD's birthday today.

[kaydee0402]

aggiebug, Happy Birthday to little bug! I hope all of you have a great day! And if you can't do a cake today, just do it later in the week, she won't know

[lilyelayne]

kerrigrooves UGH so sorry your little got HF&M.
kaydee0402 yes!! Well, yes, but also sad because I decided not to go to NoLa this year - though every single day I waver on that decision no idea what I'm giving up for Lent either.
dmorgendorffer yay for staying home but sorry for the reason.
aggiebug happy birthday, S!

Yeah I know it's just a little bit of a bummer. Her make up birthday will be just as great. I am thankful I didn't plan a big shindig!

[aggiebug]

And dmorgendorffer those sound DS yummy! I actually pre-purchased all I needed because I knew there was a chance I would be snowed in, but we aren't feeling all that awesome so that is more the reason.

She has been really fun today though. She lover her anywhere (knockoff) chair and the ball pit she got. It's hilarious watching her climb in and out of both. She is so proud of herself.

Snowed in for the third day and F is cutting four top teeth. He is being a total asshole. I hate teeth.

Big glass of wine for you!

[danitaec]

Whew, I missed you guys today! Musical auditions today were a busy blur. If I can survive tomorrow (and finalize my sub plans) I'll be off to our state music conference Wednesday thru Friday. I shall do all of the internetting then!

[lilyelayne]

badw0lf hope the teeth come through soon, and you get a break.
danitaec so close to your conference! Woo!

Where do you live

Ds liked to eat the snow and watch from inside but "blizzard" and sleds... No thanks
Dressing for snow wasn't as heavy on the crying as expected.
