I had so much fun getting out of the house, meeting katfco and her family and taking Micah to the zoo! So much fun! Unfortunately, when I got home, it was as if the whole family had gone away for the weekend, because the house was EXACTLY as I'd left it. Micah's snack bowl from Friday was still in the living room. All of the clean dishes in the strainer were still in the strainer. Dirty dishes still in the sink. Random crap laying around was still laying around. Toys still a mess. While I will give MH credit for at least starting to mow the lawn, he did NOTHING else, as if my absence meant fewer responsibilities for him. In fact, there was more random crap, because he leaves clothes, socks and shoes strewn throughout the house. He had two full baskets of clean clothes to put away from 2 separate weeks of laundry. One whole basket was still full and on my side of the bed. I think he slept with it.
My SIL is a cleaning nut and will clean up things 14 seconds after you're done using it. While it annoys me, I wish I had the discipline to do the same. I wish I could make sure that the house was back to "clean" before going to bed. But I can't do it by myself, and MH doesn't help enough, and I'm sick of nagging him and getting yelled at for nagging too much. (Excuse that run-on sentence, please.) I had Micah alone from Friday morning until Sunday afternoon, and he was starting to overwhelm me. An hour away from getting home, MH called to tell me he was going on a multi-hour bike ride to his friend's house, then hanging out, and his friend would drive him home. I asked if he would be home for dinner, and after a long pause, he told me he could try to make it. So wait, you haven't seen your kid since Friday morning, and you're about to go out for the rest of the night? You suck. So not only do I have to continue single parenting, but you're going to continue hanging out ..... oh never mind. He ended up staying home and finishing some other stupid unnecessary project instead of changing his brake light that's been out for a month, despite telling me he'd get it done "today."

Steel city, oh man, I think it may be time for a reminder to him you are a team. You are not the only parent here. Nor the only person who has to clean. I am sorry. I am mad for you!!

I have a sick baby on vacation. She is running a low fever and is such a mush. She isn't comfortable anywhere and is a whining mess. DH is currently trying to get her to a nap, as she cries and yells because he still thinks that holding her still works... why, yes, it does. She cries until she is so tired that she finally conks out. Not my preferred way AT ALL, and I've told him that sooo many times. Somehow I manage to get her to nap without the crying, so obviously, making a straight jacket out of her blankie is not the only way (okay, its not really a straight jacket, but still).
We won't even mention the tantrums DH threw the other night because she was jet lagged and thought her bed time was really her second nap and was up from 11PM-3:45AM before it was "bedtime." And he got mad at me for not actively trying and attempting to just relax in bed with her instead. Sorry, but if my baby is going to be up all night, I'd like to at least feel a little relaxed and rested if I'm not sleeping instead of in pain from being hunched over and rocking her, or having my arms feel like they'll fall off from standing and bouncing her. Sorry you can't get your precious sleep and you have to be a parent to a difficult child for 1 night.
It's going to be hot out today, but I have jeans on. Why? Apparently I've developed a bit of a sun sensitivity. So, while at the beach, some parts of me that never see the sun developed tiny little hives. Not a burn, just hives. I've been taking allergy meds for it and they're almost gone. Except for my shins, which look like I have chiggers or something. Ew. No shorts for me today. Hopefully they'll go away soon.
I worked on our pool deck yesterday morning in my swimsuit top. It was hot, I was sweating, and my sunblock must have sweated off in about .5 seconds! My back is so burnt and hurts to move!
I'm watching calories again. It's about damn time. But that means I'll feel hungry. I'm not overly restricting myself, I know I'm getting more than enough food, I just have to feel hungry for a bit until I adjust. I just hate feeling hungry.
C has a fever again. Well she had one yesterday and last night. She felt cooler this morning so I took her to daycare. I hope it is just her mouth and not what she had last time.
Today is my first day back at work after being gone a week. My emails are ridiculous and I cannot get my 2nd monitor to work. My VPN and other crap to open encrypted emails still doesn't work.
While on vacation we had our brand new beach canopy and all of Lillian's beach toys stolen on the second day we were there. Who steals beach toys?!
Lillian started a fever on Wednesday morning which finally just ended on Saturday. When we got home Saturday she broke out into a rash. Pedi said it's roseola. Fun. We were only able to spend 2 days on the beach.
L is teething again and it seems worse than it was with her first 2 molars. She is a clingy, whiney, crying mess. I can't even go to the bathroom or put her down. She is refusing to take her advil and the trick of putting it in applesauce is now failing. Thank GOD she went to daycare today!
I love my child dearly but it was rough being on vacation, away from home with a sick child.
Macy is soooo clingy lately and only to me. She needs me to be holding her at all times or she's crying and screaming mommy!!! I think I posted awhile ago that she wasn't clingy at all and would go to anyone and it was bothering me, now I wonder wtf I was thinking! My back is killing me from constantly carrying her around all the time. Even if DH goes to take her to give me break she starts balling which is really frustrating for him too, he is usually a HUGE help with her and now it's like I can't even set her down to go pee I have to take her with me or she's screaming.

I've self diagnosed my right foot with sesamoiditis. It's thrown off my gait enough that my right knee hurts. My effed up left hip is killing me lately. I hate being 67 in a 28 yr old body.

We are a bit late to the teething party because Ty got 4 bottom teeth months ago and nothing since. Well it now appears he is getting all of his top teeth at once. I think I see at least 3 poking through but I am pretty sure he has 6 top ones coming it right now. He is a whiny mess.

what sort of pain is it? I still wonder what my foot issue is, have had an issue for years.
I feel like it is because of my foot issue that I now constantly get hip and knee pain on that side I'm all out of whack. Blah.
Do you have a foam roller? If I roll enough I feel like I can stay on top of the knee/hip pain, but I want to just not have to do anything, do as much exercise as I want with no worries... just feel young again!
What is your hip issue, I can't remember if you talked about that before? I recall you saying you have Addisons disease but I'm not sure if that is connected?

The foot pain is in the ball of my right foot and it lines up with the big toe. I know I pronate inwards. It helps that I've been fitted correctly for shoes the past few years, but it still acts up. I had surgery on my right hip two years ago and thought that might help with the foot and knee issues on that leg, due to gait changes, but it doesn't appear to have done so.
I have femoral acetabular impingement and labrum tears in both hips. The impingement is congenital, the tears are a result of having dysfunctional hip joints and years of tennis and running. My right hip has been surgically repaired: both the head of the femur and the hip socket were shaved and reshaped and the tear was repaired. I need surgery on the left. Simply put, my hips and pelvis are pretty jacked up and a source of chronic pain. It's why I had a scheduled c/s.
The Addison's disease, while a serious illness, gives me very little grief bc I'm fortunately a well managed case. Not connected to my orthopedic issues.
I do think gait impacts a lot, but it's a chicken or egg problem! Which came first, ya know? What's your foot issue? I do have a foam roller and I love it! It helps so much with the muscular issues I get in my glute due to the joint dysfunction and overcompensation.
Thanks for the hugs!! I hear you on the frustration.

Oh no that is rough. So if you have the surgery will it reduce the pain, take it away completely?
I feel like my foot might be some kind of joint thing? It's around the second /third joint, just have general ball of foot pain/discomfort. Podiatrist, orthopedist ... Useless.
Anyway perhaps some day all our pains will be magically gone!
My H has a crappy work schedule since he took a new position, and I still hate it, a year and a half later. I'd like for him to go back to his M-F 8a-4:30p, thankyouverymuch. Instead, he works Sunday and Monday whatever hours they feel like (right now, it's summer hours, so 2pm until at least 10 pm) and then Tuesday-Thursday 8a-4:30p.
This week, since I have a board meeting tomorrow night, they've decided to make H work 2p-10p on Wednesday. Apparently, my family doesn't need to spend time together this week. Hmmmph.
