M is a mess today. He insisted on dressing himself which turned into him not wearing underwear, wearing his pants backwards and a zip up hoodie without a shirt underneath.
He has also changed twice since then because he got a little water on his shirt at the sink.
I'm trying to gauge how sick my H really is this morning so I can decide what our best plan for today is.
Isaac is not running a fever at all, but Omg the pooping. Would you think bug or teething? Or something else? He really does seem to be acting fine, if not a touch clingy.
holly116 have you guys talked any more about your basement? We just did a (very preliminary) layout last night for ours. My FIL is coming over today to talk about what needs to be done. We just hired out structural work but are thinking of slowly DIYing the rest. I'll definitely post the layout too.
I think we're pretty settled on the layout. DH is ready to go pick up 2x4s and start framing... I have a lot of requirements before he starts.. Mainly, we need to clear out what's already down there. I want it all thrown away/donated or moved to the attic.
He's going to DIY it himself, it's his idea of fun. I'm looking forward to a completed basement in about a decade. I'd love to see your layout!

I can still hear L's breathing. Like it still sounds wet and rattly. He's been on abx for pneumonia and EI since Thursday. I thought that the fluid would start drying up by now. I hope we don't have to head back to the doctor tomorrow.

My H is a good man! He just texted me from work with two pieces of most excellent news.
1. He's arranged to have the inlaws come for the day tomorrow to stay with L so I can get some Christmas prep stuff done. 2. He's requested and been approved for a vacation day on Wednesday so that he'll be around to help with all the last minute stuff.
He knows how stressed I've been with all the sick kid stuff and he really tries to help the best he can. He gets me!

Does this exist?
I want to print and frame a photo of H's favourite place in the world (Valetta, Malta) but his pictures are crap. I want to buy the digital rights to someone else's photograph so I can print it. Is this a thing?
We went to something that was advertised as a Santa breakfast. When we got there (at 9 am), DS was handed some munchkins and a cup of ice cream?! And a goody bad with a chocolate dipped marshmallow. Lol.
It was pretty much a shitshow, but DS lit up seeing Santa and got his first set of Duplos. We have Mega Blocks... I thought they were the same, but DS likes these so much more. He played with it for a few hours later. Now I want to buy all the Dulpos.

Getty images used to sell things like that. I've been out of the graphic design world for a while now. Also check etsy if there's something like that in Canada.

Just found a great one on Etsy. $7 to download, about $3 to print, and a $10 frame from Ikea. Such a MM gift!
After reading the retail thread on ML I'm feeling bad about blowing up at Citrus Lane, but I would have accepted any response beyond a we're too busy to respond right now response.
I'm bummed I need to avoid high intensity classes like that until my diastis is smaller but I'm going to take pilates reformer classes which I find fun too!

We went to Buffalo Wild Wings last night, which has never been a favorite of mine because I don't like wings. But 1) they card everyone lol, 2) they have sports on a million TVs, and 3) they give the kids free tablets and it's so loud that no one could hear them if they were loud. The kids announced it was the best restaurant ever, and I pretty much agreed lol.
DD is so fragile today. Every little thing leads to tears.
H is suffering hardcore from a case of non-specific man illness and has spent most of the day in bed. He does seem sick (though his only symptom is "I don't feel well"), but I'm not really that sympathetic because these illnesses always seem to hit on Sunday mornings (usually after drinking on Saturday nights).

LOL @ non specific male illness! I hope your day gets better!
I just tried to upload a bunch of adorable photos I took of my kids with my niece and nephew. They are all fucking gone. I think my card reader is erasing the photos or something because this happened with another card I was using too.
I did something to my wrist Friday night while I was sleeping. It hurts like a mofo right now. I'm wearing DH's brace which is too big, but I only have a right one.
Finally gave DD1 the birds & bees talk. She said she didn't have any idea and giggled for like 5min. She's getting it in school after break & I wanted to talk to her first. Overall wasn't as bad as I thought. lol hopefully she'll respect my request not to tell her sisters but that's probably optimistic.

I just woke up from an hour long nap. Ahhh, so nice. I haven't been able to nap in weeks it seems like.
And the house is quiet still. Everyone else is still napping. Well, except for DS1. But it looks like he's just cuddling on the couch with DH (who did fall asleep) ).
Hopefully this means we are all in a good mood for the rest of the day. We are going to see xmas lights at the zoo.

I am grumpy. Not feeling the xmas spirit this year. Had to miss out on my two favorite xmas traditions this year. Was going to go see some lights last night but realized it was too far. Took M to a holiday play this morning but he only lasted the first half. Instead of doing a nice holiday brunch H had to work so just ended up taking M with me to get my oil changed. I should be reviewing some proposals for work but I don't want too...... We leave early Tuesday for my ILs and I am haven't done anything and the steelers are getting their butts kicked. grrrrrrrrrr.
