I was off today so I took the kids to DC as soon as they woke up. Made h and I breakfast and got him out of the house. He seemed to be feeling much better and I think being a part of society again made him feel better too. We went to whole foods and trader Joe's, got lunch (and margaritas for me), drove around to the beautiful beaches minutes from our house, went to the town hall to get our town parking passes, hit bed bath and beyond and got a shit ton of stuff for the house, beer distributor, and then got the kids around 5. It was a really great day overall.

Thanks ladies.
H got a prescription for steroids to see if that helps with his pain. His doctor told him that the positive test could be something more or it could be nothing. We are praying that the steroids help and it's nothing more.
I think it was a positive appointment for H. He seems in better spirits.
Thanks again for listening to me.

We took the kids to Black Panther today. It was a great movie and I was pleasantly surprised that DD behaved because it was long! like 2.5 hours. So that was fun/nice.
I'm having a really hard time concentrating on anything with the burning/itching going on half my back. But I think this is the final push I needed to start making some diet changes. I seem to be just collecting diagnoses so I am going to give the autoimmune diets a try. I don't do well with restriction at all so I am starting with cutting gluten first. Once I get used to it, I may try the rest of the protocol but one thing at a time.

I’m currently sitting outside the room S1 is sleeping in at my parents house. He came here on Tuesday (without H and me) and during that time frame he’s become scared to sleep here. He wants to go home. (Home is 2.5 hours away) last night he had to sleep with my dad In my parents room. My mom slept in the living room. I’m not sure where this is coming from.

CestLaVie hit me up if you need for gluten free. There are so many resources and options now for gluten free, really you can make pretty much anything gluten free.

Turned out to be a decent day. Went and got my hair cut after work. Not a big change. Took about 2 inches off and cleaned up the layers around my face. Picked up the kids and H and went out for dinner. K is now through day 2 of no potty accidents! They put a diaper on her because she was having a hard time passing a BM earlier and she still told me when she had to go potty while we are out. I am stoked!!

Sending love your way Pizzaslut. I’m sorry things are so rough for your H and your family. I hope the steroids give him some relief and any autoimmune disorder ends up being easier to manage than you anticipated.

I’m sorry about your H Pizzaslut- your feeling are totally valid and not at all petty. I completely get how you feel. H doesn’t have a physical illness, but he has bipolar depression and while It’s not the same, it kind of is. Sorry lady, I hope you guys can get some answers and get H’s health managed. I knew he was having issues, but missed the heart part. What type of episodes is he having?

Guys, 6:45 and everyone is sleeping. J woke up around 5:45 and was sleeping again by 6:30. Wormy is still in her bed! I don’t even remember the last time she stayed in her bed all night. Yay!

Did it change? I’m still seeing my old name so I gave up trying to fix it. H starting giving me a hard time about my lack of internet stranger danger, so I thought a name change would be a good start. 🤷🏻♀️

Egghunt at our friends house today and then we’re supposed to go see Ozomatli, it’s an early show and it’s technically “Ozokids”. I don’t want to do anything, but I need to. I stopped taking Lexapro a few weeks ago after I started having the same issue I had with Zoloft. been keeping myself so busy and things felt manageable, I had asked my doc for something else, but she said to wait a while to see how I felt. I was trying to wait until my appointment on 4/16, but realized my mood has been a little erratic and I’ve been short with kids. So my doc started me on Wellbutrin yesterday. Having 2 days at home was awful, I spiraled and and completely lost it. H realized last night that Things were bad and made me talk to him. I’m not sure if it helped, but at least he has an idea of what’s going on. Wellbutrin scares me- I know 3 people who have taken it. H’s mom (I didn’t actually know her she died when H was 17). She switched from Prozac to Wellbutrin and it was it a good change, she committed suicide a short time after she changed her medication. My cousin who is related to me on both sides of my family (my mom and her dad are siblings and my dad and her mom are siblings- not incest), she takes it with celexa and loves it. DD1 became schizophrenic witching 2 days of starting it and then attempted suicide after we got her off it. I know many people take it and everyone is different, I started it last night so H will be around the next couple days and my sister will be here next week.
TL;DR Stopped Lexapro and started Wellbutrin

fierymama, I completely forgot to send this bc H worked super late last night, so it’s probably too late, but just in case, here’s his stuffed cabbage recipe (his Grandma’s): Alma's Stuffed Cabbage 1 lb ground beef (her mother made it with half ground beef and half ground pork) 1 medium cabbage 1 med onion (I grate it) 1 grated garlic clove (I use 5-6) 1/3 cup rice Salt and pepper 1 large jar sauerkraut 1 can peeled tomatoes Use knife to cut around core of cabbage. Boil about 1 inch water and put cabbage core side down to loosen leaves. Steam for 5-10 min, remove leaves, steam some more. Use knife to shave off thick part of cabbage leaves so they can be rolled easily. Combine meat, onion, garlic, rice, salt and pepper and mix together. Take about 1/3 c and roll into cabbage leaf, tuck end into meat to hold at the end of rolling. Put into same cabbage water you steamed in, top off with sauerkraut, chopped cabbage not used, and chopped tomatoes. Cook on stove on medium for about an hour or so. I just made up the veggie version substituting the mushroom for the meat. I usually would double this if making for 4 adults so we could enjoy leftovers. ETA: directions/ notes are his

Thanks coconutbacon I decided to simply dinner tomorrow down to baked ziti because I knew we were going to be out of the house most of today and I wasn't going to have time to prep. I definitely want to try it another day though!
