Add me to the tired mom group. Little miss was up between 01.30 and 03.45. May I suggest a dorm room for a our wakefuls? Let them make ruckus amongst each other!

Hi, morning.
I'm at work but dragging. I feel like it's been 10 years since the last weekend, so I'm happy to have a chill morning tomorrow.

joelies , have you noticed any correlation between Chase screaming and Colin wetting the bed? Just wondering if being woken abruptly is making him pee. No I don't think so. Colin's been having accidents regularly since about New Year's, and Chase started a 2+ week string of quiet nights a few days afterwards. You really can't hear him from Colin's room anyway, not that it matters - Colin is one seriously heavy sleeper.

Sorry tgrimes but I'm still laughing over here. It's that or cry - I tried chasing one out of my garage this morning and it climbed up the wall and disappeared behind our electrical panel. I am starting to think we'll never get rid of them.

Morning! B is in school today and despite all the disruption lately, was on it enough to remember that Friday = show and tell day. Which is good, because I have remembered exactly once the entire year. 🤦🏻♀️ We just finished C’s first haircut and she did great! More Princess Charlotte, less Joe Dirt. Farewell, mullet. AW ahead: ![](https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180119/0335fa66f2fb1826bd1b6208af2c0938.jpg)

I'm WFH today so I can clean the house a bit. My BFF is coming for the weekend. This morning E woke up very congested. I'm hoping that it is just the freezing to warm temp change and not the start of the flu. This would be the worst weekend for it since both SD and BFF will be here. I've been trying to think of things to do while she is here but I'm old and can't stay out until entertainment starts and she only has 1 drink at a time. We were going to go to the Arch but if govt shut down then that might change plans. Didn’t you say a few weeks ago that he had the flu? Has he been tested? What makes you think it might be the flu again?

Morning! We all drove MH to work this morning so we can pick him up this afternoon, to see the house I like with the real estate agent, and then go out to dinner. For the good news, there's a Latin fusion restaurant on the way that I'd like to try, and in the super bummer news, I drove by the house this morning, and I hate the neighborhood it's in. We're still going to see the inside of it today because I think it will help our real estate agent get a better sense of what we're looking for if I talk to her about the things that I don't like while were physically there. I can see the good and bad in this. The good is that I don't feel the intense rush that I felt last week to sell here so we could potentially put in an offer there, and the bad news is that my search is in so many different towns that it feels a little scattered, but a few more days of searching with and without the real estate agent should help satisfy that anxiety.

What makes you think it might be the flu again? I thought he did but he was fine after a day. He only had a really mild fever and I thought it would progress into more symptoms but never did. He has had the stomach bug for a day a few weeks after. He hasn't had anything that was serious enough to take him in and get tested. I think I get freaked out right now with every cough and sniffle. Everyone in my office is getting it and they go from 3 coughs in a day to full blown flu. And we got a letter last weekend that there have been some confirmed cases at DC.

guster, huge bummer that you don't like the neighborhood! Curious to hear what you think of the inside of the house.

guster, huge bummer that you don't like the neighborhood! Curious to hear what you think of the inside of the house. I have a feeling I'll still like what's inside. I even like the outside of the house, but all of the pictures, including the Google Street maps show it from the sidewalk to the house and what I don't like are the views from the house to the sidewalk and and beyond. It's just a lot of other houses that look the same and not enough green and trees.

Both of my kids have coughs and Z is stuffed up again but i wouldn’t even suspect flu. I guess i don’t even know the symptoms. Maybe i should ask Z’s daycare if anyone has gotten the flu to be on the safe side.

We have about 10 trees on our property and i still don’t feel like it’s enough because my neighbors on either side don’t have trees. I get jealous of some of my other neighbors because in their backyards they have huge maple trees on the property and they are old and gorgeous. I seriously want to go and hug those trees.

snoopmommymom I think high fevers and lethargic and achy are the main ones. I was looking at a chart of flu vs. cold this week and that was my biggest takeaway.

I hate that we won't have them in the yard part of our property for years.. It was a hay field so no trees. We are surrounded by rows of them but not like in the yard.

You should definitely plant some and take yearly pics of your kids next to the growing tree. That would be cool to see the progression of the kids and trees.

I love trees, but hate mowing around them! Especially the low lying branch ones, that I have to duck to mow under, then they get caught in my hair. And I only mow around 2 trees!

I wouldn't be upset about the trees. Why, you ask? Trees = Raking leaves No bueno. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

We actually cut down 2 trees in our backyard. Mainly because the roots were fucking the foundation, but I was secretly happy to not have to rake those leaves anymore.

This house had trees, but not enough and it wasn't what you notice first -- that was all the was the other houses. And how similar they all were. Not for me.

I also got an email from the urgent care clinic as I woke up with the 4 early signs of flu and a "fickle tickle" in the throat was #1. Followed by body aches, tired and fever. his voice was a little off due to congestion. I'm hoping it's nothing but all of this other info and the timing has me freaking out. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)
