Today I take DS(5) for an appt with a specialist concerning his sensory challenges which will hopefully lead to OT or the like. Also he has a second appt with his therapist concerning his fear of dogs this afternoon. Yesterday he had feeding therapy and his yearly eye appt. I feel a bit like my head is spinning trying to keep track of it all. I already caught myself double booking appts on accident.
I am leaving work early today so that my H and I can go watch the England vs Denmark soccer match. I feel bad leaving work early since I'm on vacation all next week, but oh well I guess!
I sliced my finger pretty badly on Sunday and I'm already sick of wearing a bandaid on it. It is just in the way for everything. But it's sliced enough that it hurts more NOT to wear a bandaid, plus I need it to heal properly. I probably need to go buy more of them because I have to use multiples every day when they get wet/dirty.

I'm trying to set up internet service at our new house and it's not going well. Can't talk to a person, have to do everything online, no confirmation email, but they've charged my credit card twice. Thank god work is slow today.

wildrice, is it a huge cut or chunk missing? Otherwise this shit is life changing!
I actually kept to my summer “work schedule” so far today! I get to chill for a little bit more and then it’s on to chores/get ready for day camp pickup!
BF got a literal last minute call to be at a meeting an hour away. They are putting him up at a fancy hotel attached to a winery again tonight and I wish I could dump my kids and go get spa services and be bougie!! Instead I’m staying home and taking care of his dog and adulting. Waah.
There’s a house whose landscaping I’ve admired since I moved in. I run by it several times a week. I think I may have even posted here if it would be weird to ask them who did it. Today I saw the man taking out the trash so I stopped and asked him. Not only did I get my answer, I met a SUPER nice person! I’m happy!

It’s my birthday! I took the day off, treated myself to Starbucks, now I’m heading to Home Goods and IKEA, lunch with my mom, and the library. If the weather holds, H and the kids and I will have dinner at a lakeside restaurant because water is my happy place.
I am trying not to be annoyed at H because I make his birthday so special with the whole kitchen decorated, wrapped gifts on the table, homemade cards from the kids, etc., and I’m pretty sure he got me a gift card, with nothing else planned or done.

Thanks! I may have to try it. I did slice a chunk of my finger, but it's still attached - it was like a half moon section that separated (yuck!). I am hoping it heals back together flat. That stuff might work for that.
I cleaned my closet last night and my Apple Watch actually counted it as exercise LOL It's still slightly less organized than I would like, but it is getting there. It's a weird closet because half of it goes over top of the stairs, so I have to like climb up levels to get to things. There is also an attic access in there, but we put a new one in our hallway so that I don't have to move all of my stuff every time H needs to get up there.
I had a follow up doctors appointment this morning for my blood pressure and it was down to 120/64. Apparently it was my anxiety causing it to be high, I've since doubled my Lexapro dose and it's clearly helping.

My h is the same. I'm either very explicit with what I want or I do my own thing. He is a fantastic husband in other ways, decorating for my birthday and making it an event is just not one of them
We have been at the Y for less than 24 hours and my kids have spent 10 of them sleeping and 3 of them playing gaga ball 😂 The started whining 40 minutes into a hike so we cut it short and turned around. I stayed with the big kids so they could play and DH has DS3 on his back for more hiking.
We talked to DD yesterday. She's 9 days into 2 weeks of camp and she said she wanted to come home. She only had 5 minutes to talk to us, and they didn't tell her she was allowed to call us if she needed it before that (I had worked it out with one of the directors over the weekend after hearing from her therapist). She hasn't had a completely miserable time, but she's been pushed pretty far out of her comfort zone.
I asked her last night if she wanted my mom to pick her up (my mom is an hour from the camp; we're 12 hours from it). She said no, she'd tough it out. Now, she has a virus that's going around--no fever, but she's done. So now my mom is going to get her and she's going to spend 3 whole days with my really conservative mom who's having a hard time accepting the idea of having a non-straight, possibly non-cisgender grandchild.
I'm debating trying acupuncture or a chiropractor. Every afternoon I get a headache. And I feel like every muscle in my body is super tensed up. It's to the point where it's affecting my day to day life. And for some reason my face is always red - it ranges from bright tomato red to sunburn red. I know the source is STBX, but he is really dragging his feet on everything and I can't take it much longer.
We had a pretty good long weekend keeping it fun and together for C. But then Monday night he said something like I'm "kicking him to the curb." I shut that down real quick and let him know that I may be the one who filed first, but he gave me no option when he told me he didn't love me, was in love with someone else, took his ring off, and got a lawyer.

I've been going to an acupuncturist for about 5 months for my headaches. Id say it has cut them by 50%. It' also an hour of calm zen like treatment for me.

I met some friends at the splash pad this morning. My kids were great and it was so nice to hang out with my friends for a little bit. But it was hot as hell and now I’m completely wiped out. I took my bra off as soon as we got home because the boob sweat was disgusting. I don’t usually free boob it but I may not put another one back on today at all.

My new-to-me car broke down on the freeway. I got an oil change yesterday, and I wonder if they didn’t put something back correctly (they changed two filters).

Keep an eye on your blood pressure too. H had similar symptoms (frequent headaches, feeling tense, and a constant red face). Turned out he had hypertension going on.

This was my thought too, especially if you are experiencing high stress right now.
DS had his extra tooth removed this morning, so I took the day off. He had to go under general anesthesia, so while I know it was an easy, routine procedure, but I still worried. Anyway, it was all over and done in about an hour, and now we’re home. They gave him a slow-release, non-narcotic pain-relief injection. It’s supposed to work for 3-4 days, so lil’ dude is in good spirits.
We got to keep the tooth. I was *shocked* by how big it is!! No wonder it was jacking up his other teeth.

I got my yearly eval back and got hit on attendance. All of my times off are because I have a child (with some special needs) and 99% of the care is my responsibility. I now have to choose between taking my son to therapy and my job. Technically it’s protected by FMLA (for now) but it’s been made clear what my choices are.
I meet with my manager today, but am so mad I feel sick. I’m damn good at my job and feel like I am being penalized for being a mother.
We dropped my car off last night and magically they called this morning before 10(!) and they had replaced my door handle, changed the oil/fluids and my car is fine! What a relief. Now we have to do the car dance to get my husband’s back to the dealer but at least my car is back and running.
blondemoment123, that’s absolutely not ok. I’m so sorry it’s coming to that. I’m taking DS1 to his therapy appt today and I’m so excited to tell her the boys have been playing nerf wars all morning and getting along. This so rarely happens!

Get some finger cots. Wearing one will keep the bandaid/gauze dry.

Oh well, I am making my own day special!
Happy Birthday!
I can relate to your post. My husband recently did nothing for my bday this year. No card, no dinner, nothing. I always go all out for this and he couldn’t even get me a card…? I’m still super pissed about it.
macmars45, feel free to tell me to mind my own business, but my DS has had tremendous success with feeding therapy and OT. He still has an extremely limited diet, but he’s added a number of safe foods and our children’s clinic always tries to book back to back appointments whenever possible. It does feel like we’re always there though.
