I need to finish meal planning, order my groceries, argue with the movers, and maybe get some work done...

Nothing says impatient like a kid in the dentist chair with a glitchy tv showing half second clips of Tangled and just finding out they've missed recess. 😬

wedding I spoke to them again yesterday but this time the lady was a bitch. She says she's the assistant manager. I told her she might want to get her IT people to check out their phone system because it kept disconnecting me while I was on hold. She says their system disconnects after 10 minutes. WTF? That's great customer service.... Anyway, their stuff is still sitting in storage in Las Vegas, waiting to be loaded on a truck.

I took C to the pediatrician this morning to talk about his worry of losing us and his obsession with being skinny. We have an appointment with their in house counselor on Thursday next week to discuss both issues and then she will refer for therapy if needed but she will at least start sessions. I feel really bad for him that he has all of these worries. He now won't even let me take the dog out at all without him and he also won't go to the garage to get his shoes on without waiting for me. I'm sure he is exhausted by it, I know I am. he weight thing bothers me a little less just because he isn't restricting his intake or doing crazy workouts. He does look at himself in the mirror a lot puffing his stomach in and out and talks about it a ton but I feel like it is less of a pressing matter. The Dr. talked to him for a long time about being healthy and not focusing on a number, etc but he still tried to run to the scale to weight himself as we were leaving. He told me he wanted to know if he was still in the 60's because that is where he wants to be. I hate this all for him so much.

We've apparently been watching cavities for their progression before we do anything. Now she needs 2 fillings and we go back on the 22nd for those. YAY! I scheduled it earlier in the day so maybe we'll still be able to get to recess that day.

Hey. V and I have just been hanging at home today. Last night I installed the vinyl flooring in the basement all by myself. I need to get a tool to make the joints tighter so hopefully V wakes up from her nap so we have enough time to go before the big kids get home. I have work tonight and H has soccer practice.

wedding, the girls do the weight stuff too, but thankfully are not overly concerned about it or have accompanying significant eating disorder behaviors. I hate that they already are aware of it at this age though. Hugs to you and C. It's got to be hard to see him struggling. I'm glad you're getting him help and hopefully he has a positive response soon.

That's why I got so upset. No one can tell me. Last week the person i spoke to made it sound like they were just waiting on drivers to come in on Thursday and Friday to load up. If I didn't get a call in 2 days, I should call back. Then when I call back they tell me if I read the fine print of the contract, they have 7-30 business days. Also, the people I booked the move with gave me incorrect information. Had they told me it would have been 7-30 days, I wouldn't have booked it with them. They also didn't tell me a 3rd party would be picking up our stuff. It's a shit show and my mother is furious with me. She texts me everyday to ask if I've heard from the movers.

tgrimes I'm sorry the movers have been so difficult, I can't imagine how frustrating this is for all of you. I'm assuming you were able to get their meds filled in the interim, what a PITA.

They do 90 day refills and they recently got it filled. The nurse at the assisted living facility is trying to work with their doctors in CA and insurance.

Hey! I laid 4 of my staff off on Saturday so I now just have 1 left. I now can focus on other projects instead of people managing! I also just changed my days off now that summer is over....so now my days off are Sat/Sun. I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand it is nice to be off when others are. But on the other hand, I liked having days off in the middle of the week because if I ran errands, places were not too busy.

I always just tell her it says shes perfect. This is what I do too, we need to keep an eye on ds’ weight, but we always tell him he’s perfect. We also tell both kids that people come in all shapes and sizes. I try to talk positive about my body too, even though I’d love to be 25lbs lighter. I’m also one of those annoying moms who doesn’t talk about food that good/bad, healthy/unhealthy. All good has a purpose, apple give lots of vitamins, m&m’s make you happy. I started that because we do not want ds’ associating any food as being bad, but I’m liking this mindset for dd too. I’m hoping they’ll have a better relationship with food and their body’s then I have.

Also hi! Between crazy busy work and sleep deprivation (like 2/4 hours per night) I’m barely hanging in. Also our society has opened up almost completely, no more masks, no more social distancing… You do need you Corona pass to enter a cinema, restaurant, theater etc. Over 80% of adults are fully vaccinated here, but I’m still not comfortable with all of it.

wedding Sorry C is struggling in a few areas. I hope the sessions help. The one about weight is tough. Any idea where it’s coming from? Like a kid at school/sports? tgrimes I would be so pissed. It’s been a month how can they not give you an eta by now? I know it hasn’t been 30 days but can you threaten legal action? Any grounds for it?

I'd be so annoyed, tgrimes. I'm sure it will all work out but still frustrating to have to make all of these phone calls and fight with people to get the things when you need them. wedding, i'm really sorry C is struggling. I think it's terrific that your pediatricians office has an in house counselor. That sounds very helpful. I hope he can make some progress with his fears.
