This may seem bragplaint-y too. We are going on a cruise in August, DH's whole family, and it will be amazing. It has sent my anxiety into overdrive. Not the OMG, something terrible can happen type, but the I have to plan every little detail NOW type. I bought a new carry on for myself, one for the kids and a little clutch for the formal nights yesterday. I have half my travel stuff ready. I have lists of things to pack and have watched tons of videos about our boat. My SIL hasn't even confirmed the reservation yet! I have to stop.
I might take a valium tonight to calm down. The really scary part is that I used to do this shit all.the.time and never recognized it.
I watched an episode of Donny loves Jenny. IMO that the last thing that she needs is another soap box. I just wanted to check out Donny, he was my favourite NKOTB. I feel so dirty.

I think all the planning leading up to a big trip is half the fun! I love the anticipation and planning out every little detail before hand. Have fun!
With my new RA meds I have the option of doing shots at home (which is what I usually have) or an IV infusion every 4 weeks.
I picked the IV infusion because I hate the shots (true) but mostly I picked it because my Dr.'s office is 45 min away and the infusion takes an hour so I'll get 1/2 a day all to myself.
I sent my kid to daycare this morning on the tail end of a pink eye infection.
He started the eye drops yesterday and this morning he woke up with just a tiny bit of drainage in both eyes. I truly don't think he is contagious, but I still feel guilty about it.

If he's got the contagious form he is still contagious. It takes 48 hours. Someone can pass the virus even if they're no longer symptomatic.

When did he start the drops yesterday? Our pedi said they shouldn't be contagious 24 hours after starting the drops.
Jack now has the flu, and we desperately need groceries. I've just been behind all week. There's no way in ever loving hell I'm taking two sick kids into the grocery store (for their health and the health of every one else) so... we're having Sonic for lunch and I'll go shopping after H gets home from work.
Because kids with the flu need the uber healthy and nutritionally sound SONIC LUNCH. I do see the irony here. And do not care.

Why did you send him? Did you have to because of work, appointments, something pressing? I'm trying to decide if I am going to throw shade on this or not.

Yes I had a pressing thing at work I had to take care of. He started the drops at noon yesterday and I dropped him off at 8:30 this morning. I'm not even sure if it's a contagious form of pink eye.

Oh I love the planning. The problem is, at this rate ill have us packed next month and drive DH and my SIL nuts. It's become all consuming. I wake up planning, go to sleep planning, etc.
I pee in the shower. On vacation with my family last week I was shocked to know that only 2 out of 8 of us did this. I thought it was normal when clearly it is not. But even if I go right before I get in, I have to go immediately after standing under the water.
Whew feels good to get that off of my chest.
ETA: I spray the shower regularly with cleaner...like every 2 days regularly.

Dude all bets are off when little ones are sick. I have not taken DS anywhere this week due to his virus either. I don't want to spread the plague and I don't want to get groceries which a sick kid either. So we have been getting by on frozen foods and lots of snacks!!! Wish we could have sonic for lunch lol we don't have them here...

I have just about had it with the general public diminishing and dismissing the work of research scientists and feeling like they know better than years or decades of peer reviewed research. There are a lot of places in our lives this is seen (from food supply to global warming to vaccines to carseat use) and it annoys me to no end. No, your little google search is not equivalent to experts in the field doing real research, compiling that research and having other experts read and verify it prior to publication.

I can't stick to the budget I created for myself. Dh changed jobs and is making less (will for 4 years, then a big promotion). I did go back to work (but it's only 1 day a week when dh's mom is available to watch the kids). I am in charge of our total budget. Dh keeps suggesting things,just like going out to dinner, buying a gadget he 'needs', and I keep telling him we don't have money for it (which we don't). But I keep buying things for the kids and myself. Mostly it's Target clearance plus cartwheel stuff, so it's great deals that just can't pass up, but I seriously just spent $60 at Target when I told dh we didn't have $20 to order pizza.

But their pockets are lined by big govt!! How can you trust them? Do you really think they care?
This likely doesn't belong here but I am pissed off. There are at least a few parents who send their kids to school sick knowing they are contagious when they don't have a good excuse.
Strep Croup Mutant flu Stomach bug
I'm pretty sure at least 3/4 of those were brought home from school.

No judgement. Just jealousy. A sonic chili dog sounds so good right now.
And I actually might judge you if you took flu-y sick kids to the store.

ok, this kind of stuff irritates me.
I know having a sick kid and unexpectedly missing work sucks. But I really think exposing other kids to potential pink eye sucks.

Generally I agree, but if it's a situation where you cannot miss work then what are you supposed to do? Lose your job, lose a day of pay, worse? It sucks and she said she didn't feel awesome about it, but it's not black and white sometimes.
