Congrats mskatiep! So happy for y'all Have you told L yet? cagoldi Glad the glucose test results were good news. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. Always tough to see; I hated watching my parents go through it with their parents. Hope she can be kept comfortable and you'll be able to visit soon.

Hi. DH just took B to go get take-out BBQ. C missed/skipped both naps today and is a crank, I probably should have offered to go get the food myself. I am plying her with snacks and letting MMCH parent. So the ENT/audiologist appointments were torturous, but at least I can check them off my list. As new patients we had to arrive 20 min. early...a combined 15 min. of appointment time (audiologist and ENT) for an hour and a half of waiting. Kids needed tranquilizers and I needed hard liquor by the time we left. cagoldi as it turned out B's tubes have come out of the eardrums (which have healed over) but are still hanging out in there somewhere (he told me but I had a squirming C in my arms...missed half of what he said). Anywho, he thinks they'll fall out naturally now, but we're following up in 6 months and he can remove them then (in office--no anesthesia, etc.) if need be.

She's strong though, she'll be alright at the end of the day. I know this sounds grim but she'll feel better about it if it's kind of quick and she doesn't suffer too much. It's her SM, but her biological mother was terribly abusive so she's more of a mom than her "real" mom was.

Yeah, at his 4 y.o. check-up 2 months ago, the pedi said the tubes were still in place. So not sure if they have moved since then, or she was mistaken, or what. I was pleasantly surprised to get the news that we did.

flamingo we haven't told her yet, and can't really until I'm ready for my work to know. She wouldn't be able to keep it a secret and her DC teacher is my coworker's son... Small post lol.

It's her SM, but her biological mother was terribly abusive so she's more of a mom than her "real" mom was. Not grim or terrible at all; we've seen a grandparent suffer a long, lingering disease, and a couple others fortunately went very quickly, and one was somewhere in between. Quick is best, IMO. Hugs to you guys, esp. your mom.

Thanks for the anecdotes dapostrophe and xolastunicornxo about bot stretching. I think it's the right move, but hard to pass up a 15 min commute for me and arguably one fo the best high schools in the state. I'm also slightly freaked out about the rising rates, but it's not even Feb, so there will be more inventory soon. I'm going to focus on what we are comfortable paying and which elementary schools are good in the areas we can afford.

S had a really great day in the new class and asked me if he could always go to that class now. Our meeting is on Friday but i think if they leave it up to me I will choose to move him

Cadence helped me make dinner: honey mustard baked chicken, roasted brussel sprouts and a pasta side. She let me know while making each and every thing that she would never eat it. And she is sticking to it.
