Why do kids things open at 10?! We are up at 7am here but can't go to the aquarium until 10, what do I do with her for 3 hours in a non child proofed house?

Matt booked our hotel and registered me for the marathon last night! One more month, and St. Louis, here we come!!
He is the best husband ever. Booked a hotel package that includes breakfast room service every day and we're staying an extra day so I can recoup and rest after the race. Love.this.man.
The Daniel Tiger song "I want to play with my sister all day" makes me cry.
Yesterday evening we watched the Daniel Tiger episode about feeling frustrated right before dinner. Then at dinner G told us she was feeling frustrated rather than throwing a tantrum (we were taking a while to get food to the table and she was hungry). I love that tiger!
We use "if you're feeling frustrated, take a step back and ask for help" like 1000000 times a day.

My baby is still sick. He STTN and woke at 6. No fever this morning, so I agreed to drive my H to the train. When we got back he got super whiny and leaned on me on the couch, and promptly fell asleep. He's been out almost two hours, and then started whimpering so I picked him up. He's still asleep but his temp is 101. I can't decide if I should wake to medicate or let him sleep. I'm not a good mom when he's sick because I never know what to do

The rule of thumb is if the fever's not dangerously high and he's not miserable, don't medicate. I'm sorry he's so sick. It sounds like he's on the road to recovery, but illnesses are never fun.

I do the Tylenol/Motrin shuffle, but make sure the last dose before bed is Motrin and give it IN THEIR BEDROOM as they are going to bed so it lasts the longest possible.

This is what I did last night. He had no fever before falling asleep again this morning so I didn't give him anything. He fell asleep unexpectedly this morning so he's had nothing so far. His sleeping doesn't seem very restful though. He's jumpy and whining.
I don't understand how Daniel Tigers class has a pet duck. And then he "makes believe" that Ducky goes to school with them, like it's so hilarious. Dude! You're a tiger who is friends with a cat and an owl! How come Ducky doesn't get to be anthropomorphic?
Suspension of disbelief. A must to get through most children's programming. And Michael Bay films.
I won a filing cabinet at an online auction last night and we're going tonight to pick it up. The thing retails for 170 and I got it for 23. It's sight unseen, so I have no idea if this is a steal or if I'm about to throw $23+gas money down the drain.
I hope it's good, because I really need a filing cabinet and I had no idea they'd gotten so expensive.

He needs restful sleep to get better. If medication gives him that, then my philosophy (....approved by their doctors and my crunchy doctorfriend who hates medicine....) is to go for it.

I am a nervous nelly. I could feel him warming even more, and another temp read 102.3. I woke and medicated. He won't eat anything, and will only drink milk. The doc said that's fine because he needs some fluid. I'm bribing him with milk by making him drink water first.
I ran six miles this morning and now I'm getting a pedicure. I love school days.
I planted more bulbs, turned my compost and am now sitting and eating an ice cream bar. Jamie is only at school 2.5 hours, but it's a glorious 2.5 hours

I sat down at my desk super motivated this morning (which is HIGHLY unusual). Then I spent most of that mental energy sorting out technical problems, then I discovered that the 11am meeting I had been prepping for was cancelled. The cancellation was on the group calendar, but I had no reason to look, since it's a standing weekly meeting. I give up.

I washed and dried two crayons on my most recent load. Ugh. I'm going to try tuck's advice from FB and will wash on hot and add vinegar. I never separate my colors either so it's on my white bed sheets and colored clothing. I'm proud of myself for not freaking out, sometimes even I confuse myself.

Sometimes I lol at my life. So I made a new friend at the playground like 6 weeks ago, and we have gotten together a few times for playdates. I really like her and we click well, it's easy. Well today she tells me that this Sunday she is heading back to Scotland because her 90 day visa is running out. She may not have her affairs in order to be back for good until early next year.
Just my luck, my favorite new person is leaving for months. I feel bad for her, her husband will stay here and work.
