Im up because I have food poisoning or a virus. 8 of the 12 people in my office have it. It started after a catered lunch on Wed. I have vacation days scheduled on the 17th and 20th. All my plans went down the drain. I have a meeting with an estate attorney in ATL on Monday. I planned to take a watercolor class today and leave for my family’s house after. I was really looking forward to the solo trip and learning new skills. I need to call the attorney to see if we can do virtual or reschedule for a later date.
My anxiety it through the roof that everyone hates me. I haven’t been able to keep my meds down. I’m also worried about Lexapro withdrawal. 🥴 I’m going to try again in the morning. I’m on the verge of crying just thinking about my poor family who was excited to see me.
I've got the same thing and I'm just hoping against all hope my two littles don't catch it. I want to drink coffee, as is my routine (I'm on another continent) but the thought is not appetizing at all.
I'm missing out on a fun adult birthday party tonight but the thought of booze SERIOUSLY churns my stomach. Whyyyy?

Reading the word Coffee about sent me over. I sympathize with you. I’m worried DS will catch it. He had strep before spring break so he’s been home nearly 2 weeks. I need him back at school. Feel better and skip coffee.
I’m up with DD at our friend’s house, waiting for them to wake up so we can go get our numbers for the 5k later this morning. I have a splitting headache from too many cocktails last night too.
Today should be fun, it’s DD’s first 5k. I’m not sure how much of it she’ll be able to run but I’ll stop with her when needed. After that we’ll go to a restaurant for Irish dancing and music and hop around to different places after that. DD has hockey later and H is going to take her home for that so I also won’t have to parent later on!
Mysterious wife and wiserita, hope you’re feeling better soon!
I’m excited for dd’s day today- she has a roller skating party this morning (fingers crossed I don’t have to skate too, lol) and a tea party with friends this afternoon. She’s going to have so much fun! And I’m looking forward to the nap I can take this afternoon while she’s at tea, lol.
Then brunch tomorrow morning with my sisters, which I’m also really excited about. It’s a new place that we’ve been dying to try out. The food looks amazing.
Today we are gearing up for about 5 hours at the softball field. Whew. DD can't wait. I'm already exhausted and I'll do is watch! We have to start thinking about next season. DD is growing out of rec softball but I don't want the commitment of travel ball. Why is there nothing in between?! She can either play 10 games in a 6 week span twice a year OR she can play tournaments every weekend. Why are those the only options? Youth sports can be so annoying.

Dh just tested positive for Covid this morning. This is his first time having it (any of ours really, ds was an asymptomatic positive once but that's it for our immediate family), which is just crazy to me. Luckily I had been sleeping in the guest room the past week because I had a stomach bug (but had been testing negative for Covid) so hopefully I haven't been exposed even though he's been home all week (he's had symptoms for a few days already). Fingers crossed the rest of us don't get it. Dd is already spiraling a bit on how disruptive it will be if we do all pass it around and I'm trying not to join her.
DS and his friend didn't fall asleep until 10:30? I think? And then starting around 5 were up off and on to go to the bathroom, ask a question, etc. I haven't even dragged myself out of bed yet and I know today is going to be a struggle 🥱
The kids slept at my ILs and they are dropping them at Saturday school so I get to wake up slowly, run some errands and slowly make my way to school to pick them up! 🥳
I washed their sheets and made their beds yesterday and their rooms are nice and clean for more than 5 minutes!
I hope everyone who is under the weather feels better soon!
Our dog is so perplexing. When I take him out of the crate in the morning he has no interest at all in going outside to relieve himself. He immediately jumps onto the couch and falls back asleep for AT LEAST another hour. Usually 2. It’s not like he’s sleep deprived. We’re talking anywhere between 8-12 hours. I know labs have bladders of steel but still.

Our lab will not go outside to pee until he’s had his breakfast. Food over all else!!
DH had the tummy crud earlier this week. He thought food poisoning from a bottle of wine that was a little off-tasting but we felt funny sending back. I had some but didn't get sick. DS had the same entree and didn't get sick. I'm guessing virus. His birthday was Tuesday and we had to reschedule.
My cousin is visiting mom. I should head over there later to see her. It's been nice not to have the full weight of entertaining mom for a couple days.

Why is 10 games in 6 weeks twice a year not enough? That sounds like plenty to me! If you are already spending 5 hours at softball in rec league, no thank you to doing more!

We flew to MT last night and landed sooooo late. I got a rental car choice of Maxima, Dodge Charger, or Nissan Rogue. I picked the rogue because I was worried about snowy roads and thought the charger without snow tires was impractical. Now I regret it haha.
We are visiting my friend who's husband died the day after Christmas. I am going with her and holding her hand while she deals with life insurance (she is getting it!!!).

I have a pitbull mix like this. The other weekend it was beautiful weather, he'd been asleep for at least 10 hours already, I let him out into the backyard and he just immediately went to his outdoor bed and started sunbathing. I had to drag him on a walk an hour later.
DS1 got sick early Friday and was pretty feverish and lethargic all day. I am hoping he’s feeling better this morning. We’ll see.
I have book club in 45 minutes, so I’m up. I am looking forward to seeing my friends, but I am exhausted and waking up was hard. I have no obligations tomorrow. I swear to god, I’ll probably wake up at 7am and won’t be able to go back to sleep. I feel preemptively annoyed at my tomorrow morning self.
No other plans this weekend. Looking forward to a low key one and getting some stuff done around the house.
Health anxiety question: my IUD expired a month or so ago. I need to make an appointment to have it replaced but things have been nuts. I haven't had a period since it was inserted and I spotted two days ago and again this morning. This is expected right?
I’m trying to decide what to do with my day. I think DS1 and I are going to go to the gym. I might go shopping at the outlet mall? I might hang out at home although that’s what I did the last two days. I’m making a stir fry for dinner tonight and unusually make those over rice but I’m thinking about doing it over noodles. What’s a good noodle to use with a stir fry? Rice noodles?

I’m kind of grumpy.
A volunteer event I was helping with this weekend was canceled because the location is absolutely trashed from recent storms/wind. We tried to reschedule, it just wasn’t possible. You would not believe the heinous reaction us volunteers have gotten from grown ass adults because we chose to cancel. Feral ass people.
And then, I started a weight loss medication this week after discussing with my doctor my various risk factors and health concerns due to my weight, and the *pharmacist* judged me upon picking it up.
Basically, I think we need a rocket headed toward the sun and I would like to pick the passengers.
I got suckered in to those TikTok ads for the rompers, except I bought a dup on Amazon so it would be easy to return if I hated it. Um, I freaking love it! I’m a size 18 and it does not make me feel frumpy at all and it’s super comfy. I’m going to need to order several more colors.

My kids aren't into sports clearly.
Because she loves it and wants more? Softball is her thing. Usually we just have an hour and a half game every weekend. Today is pictures plus a double header. 6 weeks is pretty short.
I am pining for a tea kettle. I don’t drink tea. But, you know, I might have friends over and invite them in for tea. FTR, I have less than 5 friends that live close enough to invite in for tea. And H doesn’t like people coming over. This makes no rational sense. But damn if I’m not craving middle age suburban friends and life.
This reminds me of the fit I had about 10 years ago, when family was coming for thanksgiving or Christmas and I had no fancy dishes. I went to every thrift store in the area and ended up with a set of pretty basic China for $35. But man do I love it.
There is a high probability I will own a tea kettle by the end of the weekend. And I’ll never use it. 🤣
expectantsteelerfan, anything can happen! The first time, we all got it, one by one, except DS never did, even though we didn’t even take a lot of precautions. It was super weird. And I think my youngest got it from school, not from the family, as she got it just a little later than the rest of us. Since then, DH has tested positive with super mild symptoms a couple times, but no one else has gotten it. And recently, DS finally tested positive, but nobody else got it that time, either, despite not really taking precautions. Good luck!
mysteriouswife, I am sorry! Everything’s seems awful when I have a stomach bug. It totally sucks your plans were disrupted, too. Hang in there, I hope you turn the corner soon!
I was at our friend's March Madness party yesterday and a friend offered me a THC gummy at like 4:30pm, never had one before. I had all night since my mom was with DS, and I wasn't driving home, so I figured why not. This turned out to be a big mistake. I didn't feel anything for like 1.5 hours and then all of a sudden I felt like I could barely stand up. I was so numb and tired and my mouth dried completely out and I could barely feel my face. I started to get paranoid too thinking I was going to die or that I would have to be taken to a hospital or something, ha. Bless my H who was so patient with me and was like its okay, just go take a nap. I took a nap in their upstairs living room and slept some of it off, and then ate some pizza, and was probably mostly OK by around 8:30pm, just really tired. But wasted 3 hours of my life basically feeling awful, and I am now the weirdo who was sleeping upstairs at a party (though I doubt anyone will remember). Ugh, never again! I will stick with booze for which I already have a high tolerance lol.
I stopped at Target and found outer space bedding that matches DS’ mint green walls perfectly which will allow me to kick the can down the road of repainting. Bought it and just read the reviews of the comforter and they’re terrible. Really not in the mood to return. Ugh.
Guess I need to sell the glider in his room and shop for a big boy bed. I’m more attached to that glider than is reasonable but it’s time is done. But I nursed both my babies there!!! 😭

You know what’s awesome? Paying a co-pay for a virtual visit and the doctor dismissing you completely. It was also combined with fat shaming. Apparently larger adults can’t get dehydrated and I am eating all the wrong things. I haven’t eaten more than a few triscuts and drank mostly clear fluids including liquid IV for the last 36 hours. My gut (no pun) is telling me I need fluids. I will wait it out at the woefully inadequate doctor’s advice.
We had fun last night at a school fundraiser. Sat with people we already had met and liked, and I got us one of the big prizes (weekend away) to use with my parents. My mom was really excited.
