DH worked all morning and afternoon and then took the girls to his parents house for pizza. While he was working, we watched Mary Poppins (I forgot how long that movie is!) and then went for a play date with DD1's preschool classmate.
YOU GUYS -- I have a family crush, lol. The little boy is so cute and he and DD are the sweetest when we walk home from school together. Like so sweet. And they live a quick walk from our house. They're whole childhood friendship is flashing before my eyes. I'm so ridiculous. They've got three boys and they just seem really down to earth and our speed. This is probably the first time I've ever met a family through our kids and feel like we could actually be friends.

nowa we have new neighbors and I'm really excited they have a child near my dd1s age, but at the same time it's hard to have people *right there* all the time. I don't want to see them every day and I don't want to send dd over to play daily not host their child daily. I think finding the balance will be hard. I don't want a new forced friendship just bc they live there and I'm not sure we'd be friends if they didn't live right there. Reading that I sound like a bitch. Ugh. Kids are hard!
Afm, I'm at church and took dd3 to a quiet nursing room bc she was freaking out in the atrium and I thought she might crash if I found a cozy rocker. She did and then another lady came in and changed her child in the floor, set the used diaper on the chair and then tossed it in the garbage by the door. Am I the only one who thinks one of the many bathrooms, a family restroom included, would have maybe been a more appropriate choice? I'm sitting in these chairs feeding my child, you just out a dirty diaper there! Overreaction on my part or rude on hers?
I only have a vent. We're all sick. I'm on day 3 of a fever, DS is on day 2, and DH is on day 1. Thankfully today I feel a 'little' bit better so I'm able to function to be able to take care of both of them.
DH has been moaning and groaning since this morning. Earlier he came down moaning "Call me a cab! Call me a cab! I need to go to the clinic right sway, I'm dying!" Then when I started looking up the numbers he said that maybe he'd drive himself. Then after I made him some toast to eat and put a cool cloth on his forehead he changed his mind and went back to bed. His fever is 103 so I'm cutting him a break; that's what mine was up to a couple of days ago and it was.not.a.fun.feeling.
I don't think we've ever been this sick before. It came on suddenly, our fevers are pretty high (although thankfully DS's has been responding to Tylenol ok), and we all have chills/body aches/stuffy noses/bad coughs. I don't know if this is the actual flu, but man, does it suck.
a) dizzycooks team throw it in the bathroom trash and please wash your hands.
b) I don't think we've ever all been sick at the same time, knock wood. That sounds miserable momin2013
c) i'm loving the quick tags
Oh also dizzy, this family is about a ten minute walk from us so that's good. Though, I can already see that when we walk home together, they will both be begging to do a play date every time so that might get old but for now I think it's so cute.
I very rarely get sick, so I think I'm just not used to this. Feeling crappy myself and taking care of two other sickies that seem to be feeling even worse than me really bites.
I'm trying to figure out how much money a sane person would pay for a hunk of metal whose sole purpose in life is to sit in my kitchen and keep food cold.

Someone hold me please. The dog ate the single poopiest diaper I've ever seen while we were at church. It was a cloth diaper and dh put it on the back of the toilet to deal with spraying out later since we were running late. The diaper survived, but the dog cleaned it for him. ?? all I can say is if the dog pukes poop I am leaving. Those symbols are the pukey face.
Hope all the sick people feel better soon! It's been such a crazy month for illness. I keep saying that, but every day someone else seems to go down.
We are having a great weekend over here, finally! DD had her second soccer game yesterday and has really hit her stride. She scored 6 goals and is just loving it. Her stamina is amazing--I think she would have stayed out there the entire hour if she could have. Take that, hypotonia. Then DH and I finally got to have a belated Valentine's Day dinner so that was nice.
I wish we had neighbors with kids DD's age. We have one family 6 doors down with a kid just a few days younger than DD but they do not get along at all. Sigh. Oh well. I bet we will meet more people in K next year.
I got a super small part time job. I was super excited and I mentioned it to my mom and she is all ZOMG how are you going to work so much (it's 2 hours a day from home). I'm so tired of her comments. It's omg how will you have four kids, omg you are so poor (we aren't), omg how will you work, omg why won't you let the kids do this, how dare you let them do that.....blah blah blah. I'm almost 32 years old. Get on fucking bored with my decisions or get out of my life
Hope you all feel better today!!!! Yesterday we had no plans and it was glorious. We basically got ds' party 90% booked and planned. We are expecting 50 or more people and opted to book a taco cart and as it turns out, one of my all time fave places caters! Beyond stoked!!! Mainly, it was nice to chill. We turned down an invite which we rarely do but it was much needed down time.
Ds woke up crying at 3 am and although he went back to his bed within a half hour, I was awake for awhile at least ds and h are getting me Starbucks right now.
