Wednesday morning randoms

[keyslover]

Woohoo! (that's for finishing the dress squirrelymom)

I am up because of intense sinus pressure that makes my eyes want to pop out of my head.  

I saw a doc last night and they gave me doxy for a sinus infection.  I haven't had doxy before so I am waiting to take it until I eat something this morning. 

DD1 has swim lessons today  I love not having to go into the water, huge parenting milestone!

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Lucy is coming to school with me today. She is so excited, she woke up earlier than she needs to for her own school. My one class today is 2, lol

[jreeds]

Signing DS up for Pre-K in the fall today! It seems like he's grown up by leap and bounds these last few months.

I've been going to bed before 9 every night since Sunday and today I finally feel like I've caught up on some sleep.

DH was really sick last night but refused to let me take him to the ER. He's better now, but I'm staying home with him just in case. He's going to call his oncologist when the office opens & we're hoping they'll let us go to his gastroenterologist instead of the hospital.

From his description of the pain, I think he maybe had a gallbladder attack. #notadoctor

[stellas]

I hope it's something minor, Amelia!

keyslover, I'm with you on the sinus pressure. I went to bed with a standard cold and woke up in the middle of the night in so much pain I was nauseous and panicked. My sinuses and head felt like they were going to explode. I couldn't find the ibuprofen, and I'm not supposed to take a decongestant because I'm still nursing. At that point, I didn't care. Hope your meds work.

We had JUST decided to stop looking at houses & be content with what we have. That was Sunday. Yesterday a a listing came up that looks perfect & is way below market price. So far, my agent hasn't found the catch, but I'm sure there is one. I'm heading over this morning to see it. She also has a lead to list a house for relocation that fits all of our criteria, but she doesn't know what they will list for yet.

Day 3 of being trapped in the house.  I've completely run out of ideas on how to entertain my child.  Today we're going to bake and after that I'm at a loss.  It's raining today so it's not like we can even play outside. 

[stellas]

I'm so happy to be moving forward with a plan now.

Painters will finish early tomorrow, we're starting to stage now. Had one realtor out for an estimate last night and another will come tomorrow.

We're pre approved to carry this house and another house in the budget range we decided on, and are going house hunting this weekend.

I'm mailing back the registration paperwork for Payne's new school today. We'll go see it this weekend as well.

Cleaning lady is coming to deep clean the house on Saturday.

After three months of waiting, stuff is happening!

 I don't remember how old your LO is, but I always head to Pinterest for ideas to keep us busy on snow days.  I look for things that are easy, minimal mess, and only use what I already have at the house.  A favorite was wax paper "ice skates".  Just rubber band wax paper on their feet & let them go...just make sure you stay on carpet or rugs!  We've also found lots of fun, easy science experiments.

Good luck!  It's been a long winter here, and my kids have been sick a lot, so we've been using it a lot!

[justemily]

Home sick from work (sinus crap) and also dealing with having 3 moles on my back removed yesterday (excisions - ouch!), and now a lovely f'ing cold sore on my lip.

Just waiting for something else to make me feel worse! Ugh!

Eta: oh wait! AF is supposed to start today! FML

[wambam]

I am not nearly as into pole as I’m into hoop, but I like the idea of taking two classes on that night because I’ve already paid for it. I’m considering burlesque. Where is Evie when you need her?

[happyholiday]

Day 5 of stomach bug in our house. Trying my best not to lose my mind.

[Serenity9]

Ugh. I've lost my voice. I can make weird croaky sounds but that's it. Otherwise I don't feel that bad. Just a sore throat and a cough. I've been taking my temperature a lot, and I'm not running a fever. Weird.

[candreco]

Aaaaaand more snow tomorrow, I'm sure we won't have school and almost certain my office will closed as well. At least DH is home now to entertain kids with me and shovel. I'm hoping this doesn't mess with DH's vasectomy appointment Friday morning, it's already been rescheduled once.

DS is so talkative and opinionated lately. It's so cute, if not terribly convenient most of the time.

I ignored a call from MIL last night, and haven't listened to the message yet, or even told DH it's there. I don't feel bad about it either.

[nahoku]

I was home with DS yesterday, he has strep. I caught his cold, blah. It was nice to have a snuggle day with him though.

There are 50* temps in the forecast. I could cry with happiness. Maybe I won't freeze my butt off during the Get Lucky 7k this year!

Thanks!  Wax paper ice skates it is!  Off to Pinterest!

It's going to be 30s today, spring is in the air! Dip back down tomorrow and Friday and then 40s this weekend!!!!!! Ahhhhhh!

I'm taking DS to the park to ride his bike and burn off some energy. Yay! So glad nice weather is creeping back in and days of playing outside and tiring DS out are on the horizon.

[picaflora]

Warm & rainy today, ending in snow tomorrow. Glad to see VA weather is as temperamental as it is in NC.

This week has been flying by for me - which pretty much guarantees the rest of it is super slow.

I missed being in town for my Dad's birthday, and it's really bumming me out. It's the first year I've missed - ever. I miss him, but seeing him now means seeing both my parents together. Which isn't a bad thing at all - just Dad and I talk better when it's just us.

[venice2007]

My in laws arrive in 3 hours
:-(

What will they put me down about, indirectly masked as a compliment, this trip??!?!?

My h isn't looking fwd to it either. Thank god they only come every 2-3 years for a visit. Plus they are so boring. They just sit all day long. Not even watching tv. Just sitting on the couch doing nothing. Wth?!? Lol

[ninjabridemom]

Boys are sick and I'm coming down w their sick so we're all home being so lazy. They're watching Justin Time in my bed while I laze and almost nap.

It's nice, hopefully it keeps up with no fights etc.

[styme46]

I'm staying home with ds today since he spiked a low fever last night. Poor baby just had a little coughing attack.

[Deleted]

Poor J had to work til 10:30 last night and didn't get home til 11:30. His job is so ridiculous and the commute is killer. I feel so bad for the guy Hopefully he gets out at a decent time tonight so we can see each other.

Tomorrow will be 3 months

[Deleted]

We've all been off of our schedule for the last week or so, which has been really tough of E. H is starting his new job today, so it's back to our routine this morning. I just put him down for his nap and he is screaming. It's his 'I am really pissed I am not getting my way this is bullshit' cry/scream so I'm ignoring but the screaming is so hard to listen to.

I have my first therapy appointment today. I'm really nervous for some reason, even though I've been to therapy before. I'm also really nervous about H's new job. I really hope this isn't another let down waiting to happen.

[ladystardust]

I was on vacation last week and I have a designated back up for one if my duties. He's trained and said he felt comfortable with it. I get back and stuff has been sitting in there for over a week never touched. He said he didn't have access to those accounts. He ended up only doing 3 of the about 50 items that needed to be done.

My boss asked multiple times last week if he was having any issues and he said no. I check his account settings and he 100% has access to everything. So all the ASAP stuff that I was catching up on after it was a week late wasn't done because he didn't feel like it. Great. I need a new backup person.

3 months of dating, over a year of being close friends. 

[eddy]

This morning around 4 am Leo was really restless so I laid down in bed with him. He turned on his damn music machine that he has had since he was a baby. It was so funny to watch that thing just knock him out even at 2.5. He went from rolling all over and whining to slightly snoring in 3 minutes lol.


Also the thing is so old. We had it for Jack too. It now goes through four C batteries a month. I am pretty sure Leo will never give the thing up though.

[pittsmcgee]

It's supposed to be 43 today, but then it's going to snow again tonight. NO MORE.

I took Monday off, but this week is still painful.

I'm starving, but it is only 10:45.

[Deleted]

There is not enough coffee in the world this morning.

Last night I had a dream that I was laying in bed and a spider was crawling across my forehead. It was tickling me so bad. Now I'm wondering if it was like when you have to pee really bad when you're sleeping that your dream becomes all about finding a spot to pee, and there was really a spider crawling across my face.

Volcano paint!  Pour a thin layer of baking soda in a 9x13 pan, use vinegar dyed with food coloring to paint.  We used eye droppers from the pharmacy, but could also use paint brushes.
