@scoop I'm loving that you've been posting so much & congrats on the thing we do not talk about! Fx it's not a fluke.
I'm really tired today. I really think I need to get my thyroid levels checked. I know it could still be remnants of the flu, but I'm due to check my levels anyway. I've been putting off calling the dr bc I owe them money, since my insurance company doesn't pay for physicals after 19 yrs old & I didn't know that. It annoys me that the dr office didn't tell me ahead of time. I know I should know these things myself as a responsible adult, it just never occurred to me that it would ever NOT be covered. /end rant
Really fucking sick of this snow and ice. Just got back from taking the dogs out and now I'm cuddling in bed with them. SO has the baby because it's my birthday week and I get to "sleep in" everyday. Also getting my hair done today and can not wait! I think I'm going to do something fun for color.
stinybean, budders, hope you both are feeling better soon. It took my doctor about a gazillion blood draws to finally get my thyroid medicine right again after having DS, but I've finally been feeling energetic again the last two months (at least, when DS decides not to be a monster at night).
I have nothing exciting - hoping I can find more motivation at work today, because yesterday I was at about a zero. It's freezing here too, but at least the sun is out today. Also, I'm having lunch with my mom today and I'm already trying to decide where we should go.

Good morning ladies. I find it's almost impossible lately for me not to want to complain about the weather or how tired I am, and I hate it. I'm usually pretty positive but this lack of sleep is driving me nuts! O has been waking so often during the night the last two weeks. Nothing helps him settle except a bottle. He's of course teething, but meds don't seem to make a difference either. He had 4 bottles from 7:00 pm to 6:00 am...Ridiculous. In between bottles he's comfort nursing constantly and settles only if he's held. I need to fix this guys, but he screams bloody murder and wakes up the older two who have school the next day. I'm usually of the thought process that "this soon shall pass" but H and I are beyond exhausted. Any advice? Thanks for letting me vent here. ETA just saw the sleep thread. Sorry guys.
I'm thankful today for big pots of coffee, and having Tuesdays off from work. I think last night was one of A's worst nights of sleep since he was an itty bitty. I sincerely hope that he has some new teeth to show for the hell he put us through.
On the bright side, it didn't snow here like they were predicting! (after it was 80 degrees on Sunday) And I have coffee! And the opportunity to take naps when A does today! Trying to remain positive after less than 5 hours of sleep.

Lol at her "we're number 1!" pose @scoop
stinybean I was JUST thinking about how I'm pretty sure my thyroid levels are off and that I need to call to get blood work ordered:( hoping yours is an easy fix! And I feel for you budders, I don't like that my thyroid doc isn't as thorough with my symptoms as I'd like him to be...but he's the only thyroid doc covered by insurance and close to me:(

Woman in front of me at Panera has on black tights with black cloth flats. It looks like she has no shoes on.
Also, got offered a full time position at my current job this morning. I've been wanting that so DH can quit his job eventually. They offered exactly how much I thought they would- basically my same hourly rate plus benefits. I counter offered 5k above that so we'll see!
Also, a friend miscarried last night. We're not super close but she doesn't have many girlfriends. I sent her flowers and am going to bring some food over in the next couple of days. Any other suggestions are welcome...

Kristykristyleelee thanks soup is a great suggestion... And yeah, we need to crunch the numbers, but I think we'd both work for a few months and pay off one last credit card, and then he'd quit! Just need to find interim childcare.
Congratulations! carolyngrace Just a normal Tuesday here. It started snowing like crazy now so we won't be doing a whole lot. B had her first swimming lesson yesterday and is the oldest baby in class. She wanted to be all over the place while the other babies were content being held. We have Baptism class tonight and I am very nervous about leaving B at home with my mom for bedtime. I feel like it will be a disaster. Who has a class from 7-9? B's bedtime is normally 7:30.
Also, Kristykristyleelee, have you heard of an app called Waze? DH has a nightmare commute, and it's changed his life. It will route you real time through traffic, and it'll even take him through subdivisions and other crazy paths that he would never think of, but they work. And apparently you can earn points and be super cool, too - I don't use it since my commute is about 5 minutes, but he's obsessed.
Congratulations carolyngrace! That's great news for you!
I'm so sorry about your friend though. Good luck to you and her as you go through this time.
We are going to a joint 3&4 year old girl's birthday party this morning! DS is so excited about it, and oddly enough not awake yet, so I'm even having time getting me and DD ready lol.
Hope everyone has a good day!
ETA-I just got invited to do an escape room with some friends in a couple weeks too!
We woke up to snow here too. Not surprising, but annoying. We usually go away somewhere warm for our anniversary next week, but didn't book anything this year. Meanwhile, a bunch of my friends are going to Mexico this weekend and I'm jealous.
LO has been crawling around with toys in her mouth all morning. She hangs out with the dog too much.
carrots We decided late to Baptize B so this was our only option. I wish it was on a weekend but it's only 2 days so we will figure it out. sugarkissed B crawls around with toys in her mouth all the time too. We don't have a dog in the house so I assume it's the best way to get her toy to where she wants to go.

I'm at a DIR/floor time conference today for treating individuals with Autism and I just started crying during one of the videos the presenter showed. Obviously I know it's a continuum of abilities, but some of the videos we just saw are completely jarring.
I really didn't understand that many "severe" and "low functioning" kids could be cognitively intact or even gifted -but the severity of the motor disorders completely mask that. I know it's a range but I didn't realize someone who presented so low could be so smart. All too similar to CP.
Eta: Carly's Voice and Wretches and Jabberers if anyone wants to google.
Sorry for all the snow. It's going to be in the high 80's low 90's here today. Not ready for this kind of heat.
C has this little shiver thing that she does a couple times a day. Pediatrician saw her do it and asked me how often she does that. She says it's most likely nothing, but wants us to get it checked out by a neurologist. Ok, fine. Well, the neurologist says we need to get an EEG before the appointment. Ok, fine. I called yesterday to make the appointment. It is going to be a total fucking nightmare.
She has to be sleep deprived for the test. So, the night before the test, we're not to let her go to bed until 9 or 10 at night (her bedtime is between 6 & 7). Then we have to get her up at 5:30 in the morning and not allow her to nap at all until the test at 1 pm. Then she's supposed to sleep through the test. I told them my child doesn't fall asleep easily when she's overly tired and she does not sleep in unfamiliar places. What if we can't get her to fall asleep? I'm not doing the sleep deprivation thing for nothing. And I don't want to have to do it again. They said they can do the test if she's awake, but it's better if she's asleep.
mrsdee1982 I'm so sorry you have to do that. I hope everything comes out completely normal for her.
Thanks. Me too. I'm sure it's nothing, but just in case, early intervention is always better, so best to get it checked out. The ped isn't too concerned. She just said "eh, whenever babies have something like a shiver or a shake, it's best to just get it checked out for peace of mind"
OFFICIAL CRAWLER up in hurr! He's on the move! Finally, sheesh. Still hasn't rolled over yet though, haha. I don't think that's ever going to happen.
It's a busy day at work so I don't think I can be around much. I have a pile of new files to open in a wide variety today. A drunk driving, a drug possession, an alleged date-rape and oh, a murder. The usual.
@scoop - She has to be sleep deprived and is supposed to sleep through the test. But apparently the sleep deprivation is the most important part. DH calls it her Pee Shiver. She does it a couple of times a day. It last for a second. She doesn't get tense or anything during and she is completely fine before and after. It's just a little tiny shiver. I truly think the neurologist is going to be like "You're wasting my time for this? It's a pee shiver. Go home." That's what I hope anyways.
