M has been drinking a little, but I'm still calling the Dr today. She peed three times yesterday and that was it. Her spots aren't progressing the way they are supposed to....She has no blisters and the spots first showed up Monday. I've been using an essential oil blend that seems to be helping but it shouldn't make them go away, just make her more comfortable. Even my chiro (I know, I know) said it didn't look like chicken pox.
So now I'm freaking that it's measles. Which, lol. But I just want reassurances.
Ugh, that would stress me out, too Elsa I'm sure it's just the chicken pox. Are you taking her back into her pediatrician to make sure? I hope she feels better soon!
Ugh she just threw up. At least she waited until I grabbed a bowl... I'm hoping they will see her. Out if the 200 or so spots she has only two look like they might have formed blisters. Which is totally not how this virus works.

I want to get E started in piano lessons, but MH thinks he would enjoy art lessons more. I can't find anyone who does legit art lessons for 5yos. I don't want to pay someone to just let him paint/color/etc on his own because we do enough of that here. I also don't want art to turn into something he has to do vs something he loves and is really good at. Plus, I'm the one who is going to have to shuttle him to lessons. I think I should get to choose. Who cares what the actual kid wants, right?

I am so sorry. Glad you are getting her checked out. Better safe! Hope she feels better soon!

I'm sorry Elsa that sounds so miserable. I hope you get some answers.
My random is I had disappointing Thai food last night and I'm still bummed about it. We went to a good restaurant but in my attempt to get something I could share with DD, I ended up with a sad looking dish. Every one else's looked so good lol. The bright spot was having a Thai iced tea for the first time.

Yay Friday! My husband only works half days on Fridays so we will meet him for lunch. I can't believe this is the last weekend before school. I am ready to get back into a routine.
I spilled red wine on the carpet last night while trying to kill a mosquito that landed on SDs jeans (this was after DS bashed his chin on the tub and got a mouth full of blood and I cut myself because one of my yankee candle jars broke in my hand. Nice night!)
I just rug doctored the carpet and put some more vinegar on top. Waiting for another pass over. SD2s friend is getting dropped off today and tomorrow I'm taking them to the 1D concert. She's a little emotional because this will probably be their last tour.
I'm ready for the weekend, this week has been nuts.
Today we have back-to-school open houses for both boys. I think I'm almost as anxious as they are to meet their teachers and check out their classrooms. I'm also really hoping that we can drop of DS 1's huge bag of school supplies today so he doesn't have to carry them in on Monday.
Work has been super slow lately so I get to "work from home" today. This means I am going to clean house, take the dog to the vet, go out for lunch with DH and dive the Taekwondo carpool. It will be nice to start the weekend with a clean house!
Dd has decided she wants to do band and play the flute so we get to start that today.
I forgot to tell you guys that mil and fil missed ds's birthday party on Saturday because they left that morning to see mil's cousin that is in a coma. She came by on Wednesday while no one was here and took all but one piece of the leftover birthday cake. I'm so fucking irritated. I told h last night that we are taking away her key or changing the locks because this isn't the first time she's done something like this. Last year, she made a pie and gave it to us, then came and took it back 2 days later because we'd only eaten one piece. In two damn days.
We are moving this weekend. I am excited and nervous. We are moving into a much smaller place so I am going to be getting rid of alot of stuff. H finished painting the girls new bedrooms last night. They are so excited that they got to paint their rooms. We have rented for most of their lives so now paint. A is going to use one wall a her "canvas". She loves to draw and paint. I can't wait to see what she comes up with.
DD & I have had a tickle/sore throat and a headache since Monday. BUT WE'RE FINE. H woke up with a sore throat this morning and all I've heard since in regards to anything we've got going on this weekend is "sure, depending on how I feel"
So help me, if I have to deal with a mancold this weekend I might scream.

I went for a morning run yesterday and H was in charge of getting children out the door for school.
Ava wore her swimsuit to school. She wore the bottoms as underwear under her shorts. She wore the top under a cardigan. H had no clue. I hope to God her teacher did not realize and that Ava did not tell everyone.

Ugh, apparently I'd been paying for Kindle Unlimited for a YEAR and didn't realize. They refunded only part of it, which fine, it was my mistake (I think it was a trial thing I forgot to cancel? I honestly don't remember).
I'm mostly pissed b/c can you imagine how many books I COULD have been reading in this time?? I'd been avoiding the Unlimited categories!!! Ack.

I keep considering signing up for this, but it seems to be mostly crappy self-published stuff available. Did you like the month you used it?
This hasn't been a great week. Had a blowout with Dh the other day, feel like my house is a mess, I never have any time to get it the way I want it, I feel like I want to literally empty my house and buy all new stuff but ... no money, I have to work tonight and sunday at my second job and I am too beat to do it but have no choice, I am at the football field all day tomorrow. Plus our washer broke Monday and dh is all I can fix it and he's still waiting on a part that won't be in until Tuesday.
I am just unsettled. I feel like I can't keep up. I can't keep the house clean, the laundry done, do my job(s), shuttle kids around, cook healthy meals and do all the other stuff mom's do. I know its the added stress of getting ready for back to school but I feel like a mess. My husband is super helpful in that he will do laundry at the Laundromat and he makes the kids food but its not healthy etc. I guess I should just give up on my dream of being the perfect mom. LOL

There are a lot of titles on there. And $10/m isn't bad. But yeah, a lot of them are self published or old school or whatever. I didn't use it! I don't remember signing up for the trial but that would have been the only way this could have happened (it was probably a one-push on the Kindle and then I forgot about it). I do think the library of unlimited books is better recently though. Those Kindle First books have been unlmited titles as well.
If you have Prime though there's the new Lending Library and I read the whole Wayward Pines triology through that. That's much more worth it IMHO.

DH got us tickets to see Aziz Ansari and Amy Schumer tonight, but it's outside and the forecast is for storms all night. I don't mind getting rained on, but I'm a wimp when it comes to lightning.
I have to get through the rest of today and it is vacation time! I got my conditional approval for Global Entry this morning, but I'm sad the global entry schedule isn't matching up with times that I'm already at an airport. I don't want to deal with the light rail on a random day. I need my iPad to update UNITED's silly app so I can access the inflight entertainment, but the wifi is being sooo slow today.

That sounds overwhelming. I hope you get some kind of a break soon. In the meantime, screw healthy meals. Cheese and crackers count as a healthy meal in my house some days. Throw in some fruit or baby carrots, and I call myself MOTY, lol.
