Sleeping in the guest room again. My diet today consisted of ice cream and ginger ale, but damn if my abs aren't in the best shape in years from all the violent coughing. I'm starting to worry a bit about it traveling given the damage we're still trying to fix from when I was sick last winter. I miss my steel immune system. My boys broke me.

So I haven't been watching the Bachelor this season but I saw they were in Paris tonight so I have been idling paying attention, and now it's the 2-on-1 so I'm totally sucked in. Darn you, Chris Harrison and ABC. Arie just seems so bland. Anyone else watching? Not watching tonight, but have been watching the season. I agree about Arie. I feel awkward watching him for some reason. He's also a lot more... feminine for lack of a better word....then I'd expected.

Hi! Work was crazy. I worked 10 1/2 hours today. Just me and S. I start working Sundays again because if I didn't we would have rotating days off to cover Sundays. I rather have consistent days off then a random schedule. But I will get Easter off, not even up for debate. I don't know who will get it but oh well.
K came back and I handed off things to her. She seemed to appreciate what I did but did comment on a few things saying i wouldn't do it that way. Oh well...

Crazy moms. I was told last week that someone wished they could call child services because we vaccinated LO and plan to do the same with E. I was so confused by this.

Someone in the anti-vax group said they were going to call child services because I DON'T spank my children. Someone hits their small child because they think it's good for them but won't vaccinate because *that's* abusive. Just think about that...

The cats seem to be integrating. MH came home to them both sleeping in E's room.
I played a game of fetch with Olive and a milk ring. She kept hoping on the bed and dropping it then looking for where I was going to throw it. Meanwhile Shadow is content licking her belly on the couch.

Just fetched puppy and did a target run to get Valentine's for both kids classes. Thanks for talking me down from the minted ones, I got 2 dog/cat themed ones that will work. I also got random Valentine's stuff for the kids and minimal other things...$70 later, gah. I had to check my receipt bc I was confused how it got that high. I did get j his first boys section shirt on sale. 😭 Where is my toddler?!

We had to put Sinny on Miralax and whoa, his poop is stinky since then. I hope this is short-lived. We also got his labs back and his kidney values were stable, yay!, but his thyroid was a little low. That's a little bit out of the blue so we're going to redraw when he goes for his dentistry and take it from there. One day, when I'm living under a bridge because the cat vet took all my money, I'll take some comfort in knowing my Sinny Bear was well cared for. wedding doesn't Max have thyroid trouble?

I went to Aldi on my way home and was going to get some fruit and unhealthy snacks. Then I got to checkout and remembered my wallet was in my gym bag at home. Now I keep wandering the kitchen wondering where the heart marshmallows and chocolate cookies are.

cagoldi did you tell the school that A learned the middle finger at the bar last weekend. I can't believe they said anything about it at this age.

I talked with the director of our preschool today about a little boy who is teaching LO bad things. I caught him teaching LO about guns and pretending to shoot at LO. He also told LO to call him killboy. There are other things but those are the red flags. She knew who I was talking about and said she was working on it. I told her that the teacher in the room didn't say anything to the little Boy and I ended up telling them that we don't shoot at people or things. She said she would talk with the teachers and have them keep a better eye on it. I feel like she was just placating me. I told her I was going to pay extra attention when the little boy is there.

cagoldi when we made the switch to the limited ingredient food the cats got crazy stinky due to the raiders level of protein. Now their bodies have adjusted and the smell is back to normal. Ace seems to have lost more weight on it, but the vomiting has almost completely stopped. If Sinny needs meds for his thyroid I recommend the ointment that goes in the ear. So much easier than popping a pill.

Dude can curse but I assure you he had no idea what the finger means. Tonight I asked him what he wants to be when he grows up and he said "a Gremlin. Drinking at a bar."

Ugh, I'm sorry. I hate that they are already learning things from kids at school. I hope they take some action and deter it.

LO told me he wanted to be a cowboy pirate. The things these kids think of.

chrisy01 that is frustrating but I think at this age kids are heavily influenced by older siblings. The one we have issues with fire almost the same thing knows about all the older kid stuff that are stereotypical boy stuff. The teachers are good about general stuff with this kid and calming him. It has been good opportunity for me to talk about what is ok for others may not be ok for us (name calling, saying you died, potty words). I even used it when I talked about turning around yesterday because I thought the roads were unsafe but other cars were driving.

I’m sorry about the situation at the party cagoldi. Sounds awful. And I just love Dude. Flipping people off with his painted finger and none the wiser. LOL. trtlcrzy Glad you got it checked out. It seems like they being thorough. chrisy01 I hope the teachers are actually trying to discourage the behavior for all the kids’ sakes.

tallb I'm scared of what that little boy will do if someone doesn't correct it now. I just reread your description and I hope that he doesn't really know what the words he is saying mean or that an adult in his life can correct him.
