How's everyone's weekend so far?

[Deleted]

Ds fought going to bed last night and h was useless because he has a stomach bug. So I went and picked up dinner after ds passed out and as I sat down with my Chinese food, ds started fussing and it seemed odd but he went back to sleep. I went to bed at 9:30 and at 11:30 ds is saying his hands are yucky and please come. Yep, covered in puke. I throw him in the tub and get him all cleaned up by midnight at which point my tummy starts gurgling and I realize I'm sick. So at midnight, ds was throwing up in the tub, I was on the toilet (tmi) beside him and h was sick in the master bath. GOOD TIMES

Today we are just thrashed but at least I cleaned up the bathrooms and did the laundry. Oy! There goes the weekend!!

I want to hear about everyone else's fun plans as I sit here queasy in my sweat suit...

[cna]

Oh bummer. I hope you guys are all better soon.

I am getting the boys ready to spend the night with grandma. I will order takeout, watch a movie and sleep in tomorrow.

Tomorrow I have to clean or something.

Omg the worst! I am so sorry for you all. But sweat suit did have me laughing bc I've so been there. Bleh.

I took the kids to the gym this morning and then we had a picnic at the park. DH is off tomorrow and I am hopefully going to sneak away to stroll the aisles of target in peace. Aka go on a mini vacation. We are hosting our tea party next weekend and I have a bunch of stuff to grab for it. Alone. With a skinny vanilla latte.

I do! I just watched the latest episode today.

Ah cool!! This was the first season of junior I have recorded and I have been missing out. The kids are amazing and I'm rooting for all of them lol.

[gastro]

@itsbritt that sounds horrendous! Hope you are all on the mend quick!

cna so jealous. Baby has been getting up so early and then of course wanting to nap like an hour later after having woken the whole house up

We went out to breakfast and walked around town. Ds1 ran into a friend so they played at the park a bit. Nothing at all planned for us. It's actually Dhs and my anniversary today but we aren't doing a single thing to celebrate today. My parents are babysitting for us in a few weeks so we can go out.

When it's adults I always find one or two I don't like, but I love the kids! It is amazing the things they can make.

Happy anniversary gastro

Itsbritt that sounds absolutely rotten. Get well soon.
Pretty quiet around here this weekend, it was nice outside so we spent the day outside tinkering around. Not sure what tomorrow has in store.

[justbecause]

We are just getting over the flu in this house. And this morning ds2 asked for "pizza!"
And then proceeded to throw up all over.

No!
Just no!

I will think well thoughts for all of the sick kids.
At least I taught my 2 year old that puke goes in the potty.

Hoping everyone is feeling better tomorrow and we can go back to normal!

[momin2013]

We had my brother and his family over today for a birthday party for DS. It was great - DS and his two cousins played together so amazingly all day, and we basically just hung out drinking, chatting and snacking while the kids occupied themselves.

Only bummer was that when they were leaving to go home, DS cried like the world was ending. Poor guy, he had so much fun, apparently he didn't want it to end.

[Deleted]

@itsbritt - that sounds awful. I hope you're all on the mend and no more barfing tomorrow.

My weekend is boring. I'm so sick of being in the house. Clean, make food, take care of bored, stir-crazy kids, repeat. I need spring!

I'm also feeling like a petty brat, but it's driving me crazy that my parents always bring up how bad they feel for my brother because he's always stressed out about money. I love my brother, but he and his wife live beyond their means and don't feel like they should have to do without anything they want, then complain about being "poor". They are on the top of any income scale I've ever seen and would be considered upper class. Meanwhile, DH live on probably a third of what my brother's living on, and get by by sticking to a budget and only doing what we can afford. We don't complain and I think we're lucky to have the lifestyle we do. But we make it work, KWIM? Anyway, I know it's totally petty, I just can't stand hearing my parents or my brother talk as though he's "poor". (And meanwhile our sister is truly struggling.) Well. I needed to vent.

[Deleted]

@leftie22 I totally hear you! Glad you could vent!

[dizzycooks]

@itsbritt that sounds awful! I am so so so sorry!

[dizzycooks]

gastro happy anniversary!

[dizzycooks]

justbecause impressive that he'll puke in the toilet. We were discussing that with dd1 (4) a few weeks ago and she at least hit the garbage can twice. So much easier
@leftie22 yes! Winter is so confining! We went for a walk today and then played outside for almost an hour. It was so nice! I am ready for some better weather so we can get out more. I totally under stand your beef with your parents/brother. I sit here and just mutter "choices, people, we all make choices" a lot...

[chatterbox]

Hope everyone is feeling better soon! DD threw up for the first time Thursday night. I feel like it was an initiation into parenthood. Luckily, it was just the one time.

Today we went to a train park/museum. It was so nice out and DD LOVES "choo choo" trains right now. It was a really great day. Tomorrow we are planning to take DD to the zoo and then she has a swimming lesson later in the day.

The day my kids learned to make it to the toilet to puke was seriously a great day. I hate cleaning up puke.

[Deleted]

@chatterbox - that first puke is such a milestone! I still remember the first time DS puked. It was like I could hardly understand what was happening, because it came out of nowhere! Then DD ended up being a total puker, so seeing her barf isn't shocking.

[abs]

Yikes @itsbritt! Hope everyone is feeling better today.

My weekend has been okay! Since it was 80 degrees yesterday DD's allergies and asthma are flaring up. She was up at midnight with a nonstop cough. Always fun. We got it under control and all slept after that but I hate this time of the year with the crazy weather swings.

I'm also pretty bummed out with other happenings on the board. I don't know if anyone reads the Current Events and Politics board but there is a post there everyone should read.

[jag01]

abs, is it the one about getting the package delivered to her house? Very disturbing for sure.

[lexus]

I hope all the sick people are rebounding quickly!

My weekend is off to a great start. I finished my grades early (they are due Monday) and got a massage and a manicure yesterday. Today will be filled with errands and prep for the week.

[nowa]

@itsbritt, what a shitty way to have started your weekend. Hope you're all feeling better by now.

Yep. It makes me sick to my stomach that racism is still so prevalent in the year 2016.

Can you give a quick summary of what happened initially? I know that someone got a package at their home and that's fucked up by itself, but then I gather there's this underlying stuff that has to do with a conversation about race which makes it a million times worse. I know I can go back and read all the old threads but...

It's disgusting. Just the act itself is disturbing, but the motivation behind it is unfathomable.

[mamaalysson]

@itsbritt, that sounds horrific, and I am so sorry. Hopefully everyone is starting to feel better.

Our weekend has been great. DH took the kids most of yesterday and I got a bunch of sewing done. Then we went to a pizza and wine party last night, the kids stayed at my parents', and DH and I stayed up way too late watching clips of carpool karaoke. Now DH left to get the kids and will take them to visit his parents for a chunk of the day. More sewing for me!!

And, this is probably going to sound silly, but after 20+ years of struggling with my wavy, frizzy hair, I tried "plopping" to dry it, and holy cow it looks so good and was so simple. It's a whole new world people.
