I was just going through the kids' backpacks and getting ready for camp and found old sandwich bags. At first I was like wtf, gross but was then informed that they are "sandwich fossils" lol. The theme this week is dinosaurs and fossils ("bad to the bone") and for one of their projects yesterday they stuck sand, dirt, and rocks and Swedish red fish in between bread to see what kind of impression it would make overnight. Cute idea
i went to the chiro for the first time yesterday. in under 3 mins he'd fixed my hips so that my right foot no longer turns out 30 deg like it has for MY ENTIRE LIFE. im blown away. why didn't someone do this for me when I was 2??

Good luck @peggyolsen !
I'm skipping the gym this morning. I'm a little crampy and blah. L and I are going to go to ikea to get some stuff to organize for 2.0. I'm getting antsy about being ready for this one- I don't think I was this bad about L, definitely not this early. Maybe it's that the baby is coming in 2ish months and I will be gone for a couple of those weeks, and H will be gone for another one of them.
I left the room for 2 minutes and came back to find Elijah in the bathroom, scooping water out of the toilet with his hands and happily drinking it while saying "yum, water" and smiling.
My youngest was up at 12:15. I eventually just brought him into bed with me which means I didn't sleep. The is day 5 of 9 of solo parenting. My babysitter is coming today and even though I neeeeeed to clean, I may take a nap first.
I really need to switch out clothes which is one of my least favorite tasks. DS1's shirts were looking a little short so I got out the next bin yesterday. Yup, my 3 yo is apparently moving into size 5/6. My 22 month old is about ready for 3t. DD is in this weird no mans land of 4t being too small, some 4s work, some 5t and 5s do. So that's a pita.

Thinking of you, Peggy!
I'm waiting for the pedi office to open. DS Has been running a fever since yesterday and there have been two cases of strep in the toddler class so I want to have him tested. In other news, I just looked at my pay stub yesterday and realized that my STD never went through. I have no idea why. I applied in March but I guess i never remembered to check on it after i submitted it. I'm super annoyed be aide I'm hoping to be pregnant and then I won't have any coverage. I'll have to call HR today and see what can be done. Does anybody know if i do the forms now and I am pregnant but don't know it, if they will cover my pregnancy?

cricketwife - I don't know if the same would hold true for STD, but my last job's HR department was *horrible*. They randomly dropped my insurance at least once a year (including three times while I was pregnant, the last time being resolved a week or so before I delivered). Every time it happened, the insurance was activated retroactively to when it was supposed to have started, so everything in that timeframe was still covered. It just meant a huge chunk of money was taken out at one time to cover the missed premiums. Hopefully the same will be true for you and it will be in effect from when you submitted the paperwork.
Day 1 of drugs is complete...lol. I feel calm. Which is good. Also drunk. I need to take these things ASAP in the morning I think. The dr. had me take one when I got home at 130 and I felt good but I was wide awake most of the night. The dosage isn't even strong at all...I"m apparently a huge lightweight.
It's going to be a fun morning I think. Pouring rain so the kids can just hang in the playroom they haven't seen most of the summer and I can clean. Maybe will bake something. Maybe I'll put on a new movie.
I never thought I'd be this glad to be at work. It's amazing what a mostly miserable husband does for my willingness to get out of the house. (lest anyone think I'm a horrible wife, he feels fine besides the fact that his throat hurts and he can't talk.) He says the Nystatin seems to be working but I'm not yet convinced he'll be able to go to work tomorrow.
I'm starting to panic about going back to work. I have no idea how we're going to get anything done once I'm not home all day, and I've got a ton on my plate this semester. I feel like I'm barely keeping my head above water right now, and I haven't even gone back to work yet.
Our realtor told us yesterday that we had an all cash buyer come see our house last week and we were his second choice - he made an offer on a newer house yesterday. I'm so bummed, I almost wish she hadn't told us. At least people seem to like the house, just no one likes it *enough*.
Almost every showing we've had the feedback has been "it shows well". What does that even mean? Is it realtor-speak for "eh" or "no comment"? Or is it actually a good comment? This whole process is not fun....
I'm home today waiting for the GE repairman to take a look at our smelly dishwasher and one oven that I think needs to be calibrated. I have a noon meeting at work but when we scheduled it I said that I might have to push it because of this appliance appt. it's just to go over stuff that needs to be covered when I'm out on maternity leave so it's not a big deal to push it.
This morning DS had his leg up on the crib rail, trying to climb out. I'm thinking perhaps it's time to convert it to a toddler bed!
I left the room for 2 minutes and came back to find Elijah in the bathroom, scooping water out of the toilet with his hands and happily drinking it while saying "yum, water" and smiling.

A had started to try and take off her sleep sack about a week ago, so I started putting on her backwards. Last night, I forgot and put it on with the zipper in front.
Guess who took off her sleep sack this morning?
We will cease putting it on regular way, that's for sure.

Sending good thoughts Peggy!
I have zero motivation this morning. I am 10 dpo and tested this morning - negative. I stared at that test way too long and left it sitting on the counter while I got ready. You know, just in case it changed.
