I hate teeth. J cut his first tooth like s champ. This second tooth is driving is booth crazy. I wake up each morning and feel for it. Still hasn't cut his gum.
And I'm taking my car to the dealer for the 6th? 7th? Time. I've lost count.
Son of a bitch J has pink eye. Luckily we could take him to H's grandparent's house instead of needing to take off work. H was getting off at 4 to take J for his second flu shot already, so I guess we need antibiotics now too. Do I need to call and change to a sick visit? His cough has also gotten worse when it was starting to get better. Ugh, I better call I guess. I don't want to point fingers, but J was wiping his nose into his eye all weekend and H wasn't cleaning his face off...
I would call and let them know you think that he has pink eye and his cough is getting worse and see if they need to recharacterize the visit to be a sick visit. And try not to be too hard on your H. Pink eye is super contagious and if its going around, pretty likely your kid will get it even if you are being very careful.
Thanks, that's kind of what I was thinking. I'll have to remember to call on my break. I won't say anything to him, but when the baby doesn't leave the house for two days... I don't know. Pink eye won't kill him, so it's not that big of a deal. At least we had somewhere to take him. Although I'll feel bad if his grandparents get it. I told them to wash their hands well after touching his face.

I honestly don't know what to do today. I want H to move and finally it's warm out, but rained all night and it's still raining. Everything is soaked, so we may try the play space at the mall and some shopping. I must be nuts to be thinking about going to the mall, but I'm really low on options.
Anybody have good appetizer suggestions for Thanksgiving? My mom has all of the main meal covered (turkey, potatoes, vegetables, pies, etc), so she asked us to bring something that is sort of "noshy" (lol) to have before dinner is done. I was thinking of trying lefse for the first time, but I've never made it before. Do people usually just add butter and cinnamon and roll?
First night in the big boy bed update: went totally fine, completely uneventful. H checked on him at 3 am, and he was asleep next to the bed, but in the morning he was back in the bed, so he must have fallen out and gotten back in.
My CWs keep talking about how my CW is dropping (she's 39w PG) and I want to punch them in the face for her.
I am officially down to one pathetic, stretched-out old nursing bra. The underwires in ALL my other real bras broke within the last two weeks. H forgot to switch the laundry over last night so it's damp today, to boot. I guess I should probably just buy a shitton of nursing bras at this point anyway.
I have 5 days worth of work to do in 2 1/2. And... no motivation.
I need to leave a little early today for DS's parent-teacher conference tonight (for a 13 month old, L-O-L)
And of course, Wednesday is the DC Thanksgiving day feast at 11:30. My work lets out at 1, but really didn't want to have to take extra time off to leave at 11. I was hoping to skip it. I asked the teacher this morning if they normally have a lot of parents. She said yes and that parents usually bring the kids home at that time too. Such guilt. I don't want to have DS be the only one without a parent there. But DH can't tell me confidently that he'll be able to attend because of his weird schedule. Sigh.
All this to say, it seems I will be working at some point this weekend to get everything accomplished because this work week is shot.

My mom decided that the appropriate time to approach DH with some "constructive criticism" on how he interacts with my nephew was Saturday night, after he'd been solo parenting while sick for 7 days. He is super super hurt, and I am raging. Now he doesn't want to go to Thanksgiving with them, and I don't really want to either, but I know I will regret it if I don't.
And when I tried discussing it with my dad, he tried to turn it around on us - saying things like "well it's not our fault he took it the wrong way" and all that bull that absolves him of any responsibility. Ugh. Plus he brought up the fact that we don't let them babysit. Again. I really don't want to deal with all this right now, I am still exhausted from work and this f'ing sucks.
It's a beautiful day here, it's already 60 and supposed to get up to 70. I'm going to enjoy the weather as much as possible before we get four inches of snow Wednesday.
DS was up at 4, wtf, and lasted all the way until 8:45.
Dh texted me that my physical therapy for my knee is $303 per visit, at least that's what they bill insurance. I found a receipt from 4.5 years ago where it was $155 per visit. Wow inflation. And that was in a higher cost of living are.
ALSO whoever mentioned that the Y takes kids at 6 weeks (scribellesam?) for their daycare is my hero. I had thought it was 6 months. Yay for the 6 week mark (3 weeks away lol)
Going to try to take my 7 week old today if I can get my act together! I have to get there by 8:30 if I don't want to wait in line with all the Zumba SAHMs for a childcare slot.
It's my first day back at work and I have far less to do than I thought (famous last words). My boss isn't coming in until 1 either. On the other hand, DH is swamped. Poor guy!

Mine takes them at 3 months, so I think it varies. Just call ahead.
I'm getting really annoyed over ds2's sixth sense regarding exercise. He takes very predictable long naps every morning. Except days when I get the motivation to jump on the elliptical while he sleeps. And this morning, once again, no sooner do I put on my exercise clothes and find my ipod, but he wakes up. So, since I have to run errands today, i now have to go get him, shower, go out, get lunch and then put him down for an afternoon nap. And since I will be full of food and already showered, I'm once again not going to exercise.
Baby, WHY DO YOU WANT ME TO GET FATTER? (ok so some of the blame lies with me and my sweet tooth, but the damage wouldn't be so bad if I burned some calories!)
Capital one canceled our main credit cards because of the Home Depot breech and I'm having a hell of a time trying to update my cell phone auto pay. In the meantime, they've turned off my data so that helps NOTHING. I'm going to cancel cable today too. And I need to call about a mistake charge on part of our mortgage.
True random - a house around the corner from us has a snow making machine permanently set up in their very small front yard throughout the ENTIRE winter season (like - late oct thru April).
I am SO CURIOUS as to why? I saw their kids out over the weekend all bundled up "sledding" down the very small incline in their very small yard. (And these were elementary aged kids - not toddlers).
Bas lovvvvves signing all done when we ask if he's all done eating. But he does not understand what it means. Dude, you can't sign all done and then immediately throw another bite of toast in your mouth. Lol, but also arggggh weekday mornings.
B does this too. He signs it, looks to see if it registered and just as I'm starting to unlatch the tray, grabs more food.

I feel like such a flake this morning - I couldn't find my wallet anywhere (finally located wedged in the couch underneath where DD was sitting) and then I got a call asking where I was for my biweekly OB appointment. I could have sworn it was scheduled for tomorrow morning, but nope - it was supposed to be today. I hate the feeling of dropping the ball!
