cornpop Since my mom had chemo this summer I didn't even have to say anything to anyone about the flu shot. It is free for all of us because of my kids anyways. I had to drag my 6' 5" male coworker downstairs with me to get a flu shot at work a few years ago. He is scared of the shot even though his mom is a nurse. Because of our relationship I made fun of him until he got it.

I think J is sick He’s been feeling warm to me and really fussy since yesterday. I didn’t think anything of it since he had a tooth popping up. But he’s been been inconsolable today and he has a fever of 101.3. I guess tomorrow we’re going to the doctor. My arms and back are killing me...he only wanted me to hold him standing up all day.

Aww poor baby auri . Hope he’s better soon. That’s rough for you both. Thanks. He finally fell asleep so I’m sitting down. Think I might go look at the sparkly tiaras in the royals thread. That should make everything better, right I hope baby mermaid feels better too.

I almost just hard a heart attack. I was putting L to sleep and had the video monitor on. The screen must have gone to sleep while I was in there rubbing his back. So when I came back in my room to look at the monitor, I turned on the screen and there was a person standing over the crib. SO SCARY. But then I realized it was me and it was just showing the last frame before it went to sleep. It quickly went away and showed just him laying there sleeping but omg I thought I was going to die.

No Halloween things for us this weekend. We’ll try for family pics again tomorrow and then hopefully get to see my friend’s new baby on Sunday. She’s about to head to the hospital for her induction now. I can’t waaaiitttt. L acting all grown is making me miss newborn days. A little. Some parts. Basically just the brief periods when he was a quiet, snuggly, sleepy babe.

I would have run out screaming with the girls and called the police.

MH will be working most of the weekend so we won't be doing much. I need to bake cookies and meal plan. And my mom's birthday is next week so I need to get her a present.
My 2 year old had a nap today (yay!) but now he's been in bed for 35 minutes singing the bob the builder theme song over and over... I might embrace the no-nap thing because I love the nights he's asleep at 7!

cornpop I have had to push my mom hard to get the flu shot every year since we had kids. This year I made my dad take her to the pharmacy and watch while she got it lol. I have to push my husband a bit too, but he always goes. My in-laws live far away so it's a non-issue with them, but I personally wouldn't make a fuss about it with anyone other than my close family members. I'm too non-confrontational.

Adding to the list of why I don’t have a video monitor. Yikes.

clementine my monitor does that pretty much every time i turn the screen back on and it probably scares the bejeezus out of me like 75% of the time...like sometimes there will be no baby there if it was on after her nap or something😱 auri hope he feels better i the morning mintyblueair i know what you mean with the nap situation...7 pm bedtimes are the best! silver linings and all that h is taking dd1 to swim lessons this morning. i might head to target with dd2. hoping to score a double nap today but i doubt it. i think i am finally looking forward to dinner tonight...it is at a restaurant i’ve been wanting to go to for a long time. we have brunch at my mom's tomorrow then a halloween party at my ils in the afternoon with all the cousins which should be pretty darn cute.

Yikes clementine that would have freaked me out. Our monitor is cheap and must be totally different. We have it set to "vox mode" and it just goes black while there's no sound. I did wake up once in the night and look and saw no baby. 😱 I looked again and realized he was flat against the end of the crib right at the edge of the screen. And the night vision had his clothing blending on with the sheets. That moment of panic though. 😳 I hope J feels better auri. leatherpants 😂 but nope! DS if you try that you will be done nursing.

AFM I've been in a terrible rut of being so unproductive. Bare minimum of feeding and clothing us and lots of sitting around doing nothing really. I feel it's leading to depression and has a lot to do with not going out for a run every morning. The weather is abominable and I don't really have clothes for DS to be out in the stroller when the temp is in the 30s. I think I may go stand in the garage with the door open and do jumping jacks to get some fresh air! 😂 last night I worked on a pattern for a slipcover for our padded folding chairs so I can put DS's high chair on them. I'm gonna use that as incentive for me to clean the house before I work on that so hopefully that works.

I should not have bought Halloween candy this early. Well, I should not have opened the bags and put the candy in an easily accessible bowl by the front door.

]We finally convinced my mil to get a flu shot this morning.
She was against it because she"knows her body" and has never had the flu so she's obviously never going to get it. 🙄
When I saw logic wasn't working, instead of getting pissed,I decided to throw myself at her mercy by crying about how stressful being a working mom is and how lucky she was too sah. Blah blah blah. Eventually she acquiesced.
🙄
She only called me overbearing once so... Victory.

SO keeps asking if we should buy it now because we can probably not eat it before Halloween and I was very, hi, have we met? I will for sure eat the whole thing. Do not buy it

Do not buy it We decided to buy fruit snacks to hand out... and a few chocolates. More so if we don’t have a lot of kids then at least I don’t feel too bad about G having the left overs.

Because 10 bitesized ones throughout the day seems like a lot less (and a lot less filling) than one big one all in one go? Been there.

I’m waiting until Tuesday or Wednesday morning to buy the candy. We normally only have 5-10 kids show up.

E woke up 10 minutes after I put her down. I refused to nurse her and she was pissed and bit my face before spending a few seconds sucking on my chin. She gave me a damn hickey.
