jedi, I hope your low bp issues get resolved. That sounds scary, especially while driving.

mrspiatt, I hope things go well with Jack, and also with you. And I hope A finally got to sleep so you could get some rest.

Only today and tomorrow to work and then I am off until next Wednesday! Can't wait! I am going to bake and clean and I might even read a book (probably not on that last one though).

I'm here. Barely. I could use another day off but I'm supposed to be on vacation starting the 21st. I may end of working the 21st though. I haven't decided.

I don’t do well when I’m exhausted. H took over bedtime with Worm, which means he read a bunch of book to her in our bed and then she fell asleep in our bed. Jack was shrieking for a solid hour or so and I couldn’t get him to stop, I think he was in pain and I was completely overwhelmed. I ended up having a bit of a breakdown after not being able to find my phone (trying to put it on the charger) and then bumping into the bassinet waking up J and not being able to find his pacifier. I’m feeling better this morning, I slept the entire night. H but A in her bed at some point and I woke up for a minute, but J is still sleeping!

I’m taking Worm to story time at Barnes and Noble and then a technician is supposed take be out this afternoon to check our internet. It’s it’s been so slow and keeps disconnecting. We were watching Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid the other night and the quality kept changing, but then during the last 8 minutes it froze at least 5 times. At least it was something we’d both seen before.

I heard back from mil. No indication that they were planning to get bil from our house. I did ask when he was going back to Seattle and she didn’t know 🙄 H’s family is so weird

Definitely need more coffee. L seems to be doing better but I still feel like shit. And got a flat tire on the way in this morning.. brutal! Not letting this derail the day though. We went to my moms last night for cake for DH and it was really nice. I splurged on a bottle of blue label (omg) for DH. He was legit speechless. I can be very frugal/cheap and practical when it comes to money so that was totally unexpected. He was so happy!! Definitely worth it.
His dream was to get a nice bottle and a sharpie and mark the level and occasion every time he takes a bit, so 30th birthday is the first mark 😊
I can’t wait for christmas

I feel bad but I just cancelled my site assessment for tomorrow. I just can't squeeze in another one before Christmas!
Guess what just came in?! My approved application for my Professional Project Manager certification. Woot! Now just the exam is left.

So there is this adorable girl in A's gymnastics class. She is high energy, silly, runs super fast and is crazy impressive with her gymnastics abilities already. And she is small. Like really small, but both of her parents are short (5' 4" or shorter) so I didn't think much of it. Well I was talking to her father today and I said that she is "Small but Mighty" and he said "yeah, not bad for a preemie!" So then he went on to tell me that she was born at 29 weeks (!!!!!!) Completely a surprise. They went to Arizona because that's where his wife's family is and they were throwing her a baby shower, without warning she went into labor and they couldn't stop it, so out comes Mya! Wow .. she is so much fun to watch during class and now knowing that just makes me so much more impressed. So there's your feel good story for the day oh and she's 2.5 years old now

School just called. Isaac is extremely disruptive and unable to control his body. Tackling, not keeping hands to self, being loud etc. They can normally work with him and bring him back down but they haven’t been able to. They bring him to the reg classroom and need to remove him again. I need to go pick him up early when E wakes up. It seems weird that they are sending him home. Right? They want me to check in when Ethan wakes up. January 3rd can’t come soon enough. We need this appointment. I wish I knew how to fix this or help him

So yeah lol I will be buying that bad boy in January with my raincheck. taketheshot that's awesome!! It's amazing how fast and well kids can overcome difficulties sometimes.

jedi that is incredibly frustrating. I think it is kind of strange they are sending him home. If he needs support to stay at school someone there should do something so that he gets that support, not just avoid the situation. I wish there was something the dr could just sign off on that would get you the support you need. And especially the OT since it was helping

CestLaVie I know they’ve tried. They have a lot of things they try to do with him. For some reason nothing is working. It’s either stay in the special ed room with an adult or I come get him.

Well I had to go get him. He seems like he typically is since being home. I really hope this isn’t going to create more problems. Like he acts out just to come home early. I kinda want to crawl in a corner and cry. I’m so exhausted from all this.

You know how people are always like “such and such name is ruined for me. I can’t name my child that because a student I had when teaching”. I am pretty sure my sons name is on that list. Something so silly shouldn’t upset me but It does.

jedi, I’m sorry things are rough right now. FWIW, I went to elementary school with a kid who seemed to have a lot of similar issues as I. I remember some intense episodes even in 3rd and 4th grade, and looking back, I’m sure his mom was overwhelmed. But, they eventually figured out what he needed, and he was an incredibly well liked kid. He was actually our student council president my senior year, and he was one of the people I was most excited to catch up with and hang it with during our last class reunion. So don’t go thinking that his name has been ruined for anyone— he just needs help right now, and you have no idea what amazing things he will go on to do.

Dammit. My fever is back. Because of course.
I was texting my mom saying i don’t remember strep being this bad as a kid. She reminded me i was older so it took longer to recover. Thanks, Mom.
