Monday RAWV's

[mamaalysson]

Anyone else?  I'm mostly venty this morning.

V:  After our lovely dinner last night, DS woke up around midnight screaming, and would only sleep completely on top of me.  He was running a 104/105 degree fever and was miserable.  It came down with ibu, so we will see, but I am anticipating a trip to the pedi this afternoon.

V:  Because I "slept" with an almost 2-year-old stuck to me all night, my back is all kinds of screwed up.

R:  DS is wearing his sister's leggings as pajama pants because I could not find any clean ones for him last night.

AW:  Thank god for a preschool with an all-day option.  DD will be staying through the afternoon today so that I can deal with a sick baby.

Sorry mamaalysson, you can't catch a break! I am happy for you that you have care for your dd. Hope your day improves and your ds' fever comes down. Poor guy and poor mom!!

Well here goes for me:

R-I'm craving smoked salmon and cream cheese but no bagel
Aw-DS is on a wait list for our top pick preschool and it looks like he will def get in July. Excited for him but nervous for me since depending on what h and I decide, I will either have DS go half days for 5 days so I can pick up more hours for working at home or DS can go 5 full days so I can return to work full time! It's exciting but bittersweet too. I wanted to be a full on SAHM but for many reasons, it makes the most sense for me to keep working even if part time. But I'm so stoked to have child care options. Piece mealing it with a sitter and no family help has been rough.
V-I am super bloated today because I had a burrito and whoppers last night. Damn pms

mamaalysson - sorry your DS isn't feeling well. I hope that he is better soon!

R: I have so many things to do today and very motivation to do any of it (getting off of the computer might help).

AW: DD2 has been independently playing nicely this morning and it was nice to drink my cup of coffee while it was still warm.

V: I have to go to the store today and replace all of the items from our fridge since it broke last week, which it did THE DAY I went grocery shopping and we didn't find out until the next morning and had to throw everything out. Our fridge is only 4.5yrs old, but luckily we bought the 5 year extended warranty and didn't have to pay for parts and labor when they came this weekend to fix it. Perhaps the fact that it took over 48 hours to get someone out here to look at it should be another vent.

V: I am learning that the only way to get what I ask for at work is to lie. I am disgusted by this fact, but it's being proven again and again this year.

R: I hate winter. This isn't new, but I feel the need to say it again given our impending snow and trip back into the deep freezer.

AW: I managed to check on a our garbage bill and schedule an oil change for the car today. I think that's pretty productive and I'm happy about it.

[lyingliarlies]

R: ds generally speaks very clearly but he pronounces paleontologist as "peewee-ontologist" & it's the cutest/funniest thing.

AW: a couple of weeks ago I did a 5k & Polar Plunge for the 2nd year in a row. I killed my old PR for a 5k by over 2 minutes. The plunge was amazing. The event is a fundraiser for the Special Olympics - I am so glad to be able to help.

V: we've been sick the past couple of weeks & i have this awful nagging cough that I get almost every time I get sick. Been on antibiotics since Friday & felt good enough to go to the gym today. Biked 10 miles & the coughing stopped, didn't cough once the whole time. Once I was done, boom I'm coughing again. What the hell?

Another V: DS is getting up early & getting into trouble. We finally had to flip his doorknob & lock him in last night for his own safety

[ashb62]

R: I really need to get some chores done, but I have zero motivation.

AW: My boys seem to be learning new words almost daily. Their language is really exploding and they have the cutest little voices.

V: DD has a stomach bug. Poor kid's had it coming out of both ends for about 36 hours now. We've been sick so much this winter. I'm over it.

R- ds2 only wants to watch the Sesame Street where "Elmo wears all the hats" and sadly I know exactly which one that is.
Aw- we got to play in the snow today for the first time in weeks. It's 30 degrees today!!! We are also bottling our beer today. Two weeks until it's ready to drink.
V- having a good day so far. Except ds2 skipped his nap so that should be fun later.

Ooh what did you brew?

[justbecause]

We bought a kit for an India pale ale. It's been a long time since we brewed so we are starting with a kit to get back into the groove.

DS2 read me a book all by himself. I didn't realize until halfway through that he was reading drop as burp on every other page.

@itsbritt, I think we are twins today?! I have had THE WORST PMS for nearly a week. I am fine all morning and then once lunchtime rolls around, I feel bloated,crampy, and...like a raging bitch! The only thing that kept me sane today? Smoked salmon & cream cheese on a bagel!

V: I got nothing

Aw: DDs dance teacher lets each kid pick a dress up theme once a month. DD picked wacky wear. She just sent an email reminder with the quote from dr Seuss "why fit in when you were born to stand out" she says it reminds her of DD. She is amazing I adore her teacher. Everyday before they leave she has them look in the mirror and say "you are beautiful" then she cups their faces in her hands and says "yes you are inside and out". DD will never be a dancer but the confidence and life lessons she has learned are so worth the money.

R: there is still snow on the ground for like the 5th day in a row. This might be the norm up north but it's crazy down here.

R: dd loves the rain because it is an excuse to wear her new rain boots.
Aw: I ran 2.83 miles yesterday! Almost ready for my first 5k.
V: I had a meeting with a parent today who thinks I should grade her ninth grader's work everyday and then email her to let her know if he did it. Um no? This is high school, lady. I have over one hundred and fifty students. That's not happening.

Nice, IPAs are my fave.
