Why is it that sometimes the littlest things put you over the edge? I tried scheduling two well visits today for my girls and I can’t find time to bring them in without dd1 missing school or being unable to pick dd2 up on time. After going through two whole weeks I finally told the scheduler I’d just skip it. I am so frustrated! I know a piece of it is our schedule and my unwillingness to pull her from school, but honestly, she has 6 days off in The next 6 weeks. How hard should it be to get two appointments?? I’m crying over this right now. So stupid.
In other news dd3s bed is back ordered and she climbed into and over the side of her crib today. I can’t find the little tool to take the side off. Last, my renters took down some curtains and apparently threw out the hardware to reinstall them. I can’t find the wall brackets anywhere in store and now I’m trying to figure out if amazon has them. Annoying. Oh and I have my glucose test today. As soon as that’s fine I’m binging on some junk bc today has not been what I was hoping it would be.

Deep breaths dizzycooks. You have a lot going on right now! Give it a day or two and things usually figure themselves out. And really, the well visits can wait a bit, can’t they? Maybe look at times during spring break? Would any Allen wrench work for the crib or is it a special one? I’m sorry today is so hard. I hope the glucose test goes well and your reward makes it all worth it!

I’m on a cleaning frenzy today. Tomorrow we are going to the zoo and then I go back to work on Thursday. Boo! Not sure where the time went. It flew by. Now it’s time to plan DD’s 2nd Bday party. I don’t want to go too crazy though. She loves kitties. Thinking a little kitten theme. 🐱

dizzycooks glad the day improved. scorpioscuba the zoo sounds fun. I had a bit of unexpected time off with the cold temps here meaning cancelled lessons etc. and it has been really hard to get back into the swing of things.

Dude! You guys! My Tapa was doing something weird for the last few days where only old threads were showing up... but it made it seem like everyone was GONE. I was about to start really freaking out, but now you guys are back! And I see happily posting away. Yay. Don’t ever leave me again!

I'm so over Tuesdays. H has game night, so he goes straight from work to his friend's house. I am alone with the kids from the time we get up until bedtime. Then I'm just alone, which I don't mind so much, I like my alone time to relax. Wednesday game nights aren't so bad. Every other week he's home during the day, and every week the kids and I go to my parent's house for the evening, and then I get more alone time.
Maybe with S's new class starting next week Tuesday won't be so bad. But for tonight, I'm just done. My head has been killing me for days, M refused to go to bed until almost 9, and I have nothing to snack on and no wine because all of the liquor stores near me were sold out of the kind I like the other day.

I’m hoping today is better. The dishwasher repair guy is coming this morning so we will likely miss dd2s gymnastics class, but I’m hoping to get some serious cleaning done.

Also, dinner inspiration? lollipop I think I’m going to try those pizza things you post last week. I’m really feeling light and healthy, but I’m cold and want warm food!

My baby is 2 today! Her party isn't for a few weeks though. I'm pretty sure we've hit the terrible 2s in the last couple of weeks. Everything upsets her.

What the hell is up with Tapatalk? It keeps showing me the “participated” threads only, and then I can’t figure out how to show all of them. Ugh. So annoying.

Something weird is going on with dd2 this morning. She woke up around 4:30 and was tossing and turning for a while. Back to sleep at 5 and mostly slept until 6:45 - which is super late for her.
She was ready to get up, I turned her light on, and she lay back down on her bed and dozed off for a few minutes. This never happens. Once she’s up is like 0 to 100 and ready to play.
She woke back up from her little 5 minute doze, I brought her out to the living room and she lay down on the couch and fell asleep - where she still is.
She doesn’t have a fever, a cough, or a runny nose. What the heck??

Woke up a few minutes ago and started retching like she was going to throw up, but didn’t. So sounds like some nasty illness is about to hit our household. Wheee. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

nellieoleson, that is odd! I'm sure it's nothing but I'd just watch her and see how she does today. I wonder if she's fighting off a bug?

I just said I need a day off. H turns around and says ok, what day? So I'm taking a day to myself tomorrow or Saturday. Maybe tomorrow, so I can have coffee...

I had to lock myself in the bathroom today because I couldn’t even file my nails without some child climbing on me, trying to grab the file from me, or demanding I do something for them.
And the mystery of the dd2 illness(?) deepens. After she came THISCLOSE to throwing up she ate 3 pieces of toast, drank some diluted apple juice and is now fine. A little more tired seeming than usual, but nothing else to report. What the??

nellieoleson I hope your peanut continues to feel ok. Also happy birthday to all the kiddos whose birthdays I have missed with my sporadic posting. L was supposed to go back to daycare tomorrow for the first time since the holiday and now all the schools are closed due to cold temps. I need daycare to happen. I need routine!

Crossing my fingers it’s just an odd day nellieoleson. DD1 goes back to preschool tomorrow, I’m excited but also sad. I’ve kinda enjoyed. It having to set an alarm to get up and both girls have been sleeping till 8am. DD2 has her well child check tomorrow. I can’t believe our babies are 2. H decided that we needed to take the side off of DD2’s crib. She wasn’t crawling out and had just started sleeping well in it. I wasn’t soo excited because “if it’s not broke don’t fix it”. But she slept all night long in it. Hoping for a repeat tonight and maybe have this be the norm. Picture to show how excited she is.

sjames2015 I took the side off dd3 crib this week too. So far it’s been great. Dh forgot (???) to put a diaper over at bedtime last night so needless to say I am doing laundry today. We have also been sitting at the car dealership for 2 hours. Apparently my washer fluid froze. They are working in thawing it out and then need to make sure nothing broken because of freezing. Love multiple weeks of subzero temps.

Anyone heard of Mercari? A friend told me about it and it’s super easy to post stuff I am done with. So far I’ve sold several dresses and a few toys. It makes a label and you bring it to fedex. Kind of amazing.
