Re gun talk (no judgment) I don’t think I’ve ever heard ds talk about guns. Dh and I do no want toy guns (even in the form of a water gun) in our house. I think because people aren’t allowed to have guns in country, the subject arises less often. #jealous

I'm buying my girl size 6 leggings. 6?!@?@!? I've been buying size 6 since last summer. Me and H aren't that tall! I have a feeling Cadence will at least be taller than me (I'm 5'4).

We are finally getting things wrapped up with the insurance company for J's bite last March. They offered him a settlement and I accepted it. So now we have to choose an investment option and age he can receive the funds and then go through probate to get everything approved by a judge. It is a lot higher of an amount than I was anticipating based on his minimal scaring. I'm honestly just over this whole process and the insurance guy. He's very nice but every conversation is physically painful because of how many times he repeats our conversation. Like I'm listening, I don't need you to repeat everything 8 times..

Oh and my SIL had to put the dog down in November due to declining health. I just found out recently and I could tell she was a little relieved. The guilt has been weighing on her a lot and I'm glad the dog went peacefully - but I'm really glad she's gone.

Checking in from my couch. The doctor has me back on all the same meds that she put me on when I had pneumonia, plus Tamiflu, and she said it's absolutely in my lungs already. For now, it's lots of rest, fluids and meds for me, and she said my lungs could take 4-6 weeks to recover. I'm frustrated that they've become such a weak spot for me, but they are, so... This means most likely that a spring marathon is out of the question, but that doesn't seem particularly important right now since I can't even fathom running. I'm too tired and weak. And annoyed.

Pretty sure I caught L's little stomach bug. So so queasy. I have a 1:15 appointment with my psychologist and if I cancel this late I'll have to pay for the appointment. I may need to though. I don't want to get their whole office sick and also don't want to puke in my appointment.

Thats what I thought too. This was relayed to me by the baby sitter. Her son went there and told them all about the hunting his dad did one weekend and she got the letter. So maybe because it was such an elaborate story? I'm not sure. I'll clarify when I re-enroll him this summer. That seems super extreme. C talks about guns a lot and we aren't gun people. We don't hunt or play guns. He just picks it up. I mean, like I said, his 4 year old friend has a whole toy chest just for his weapon toys. He hears things. Agreed. I'm sure guns have come up at preschool (B's class is 8 boys and 2 girls, lol) but B mentions them literally every time we drive on base b/c the MP's and sailors checking IDs at the gate all wear holstered handguns. We don't encourage it and he doesn't have any toy guns, but darn if he won't pick up a wrapping paper tube or a toy golf club or even the thing DH keeps the Christmas lights on and pretend it's ones (although he makes more "laser" sounds than gun sounds, if that makes sense). I think our generation is hyper-attuned to things like this b/c of current events, but with that said we have to remember that generations of kids played cops and robbers, cowboys, etc. with play guns and didn't all turn out to be sociopaths. I agree that the kid Chrisy01 mentioned saying "call me killboy" was disturbing, but I think an interest in this kind of thing is normal. To an extent I think the more we try to pretend they don't exist or hide our kids from it, the more curious they're going to be if/when they do encounter one. It's up to us as parents to educate our kids about the dangers, what to do if you ever find a gun, etc. eta: I am also probably quicker to shoot down (ha) the gun-talk and play in our home more b/c i am worried what will happen if it comes up in the wrong setting...we've all seen the stories where kids were expelled or suspended b/c they 'played guns' on the playground or whatever.

With all that said, hi! We are all still in PJs but it's been a busy morning, I've gotten a lot done around here for a change! I'm so sorry to all the sick moms and kids, hope everyone is on the mend soon. I'll be so glad to see cold/flu season end. And no thanks to stomach bugs, either. We got some good news this morning...DH has officially been penciled in for orders back to my hometown in spring 2020! So barring something crazy, he'll get to do his last four years before retirement there and hopefully we will be able to settle down there for the long haul. In the meantime, he's been exploring options for post-Navy careers, and has about decided to pursue flying for the airlines. So he's excited about that and will start working towards that eventuality (he needs some more instrument ratings, etc). There's a flying club down there on base so he'll be able to do all that stuff, there. I think he's going to pursue his private pilot's license while we're here just for fun

This is my fear. And I agree about having the right conversations about guns and safety. Matthew turns EVERYTHING into a gun which is why I thought we were heading towards obsession. Like a poptart, he bites it into a gun shape... It drives me bonkers!

Nothing new here. At work. It's slow and I'm dragging. My cough is still here and has turned productive agian. I'm a little stuffy, so I think I just have a head cold, possible sinus infection. For those who don't have snap, M2 is crawling now. I need to baby proof big time. It will also be a task to keep on to M about leaving little stuff out on the floor and his snacks within reach. Kid likes to pull up on to things and reaches for all food. I'm not ready for a mobile baby!

We are taking the cats out to my friends house today. The pooping is peeing is getting out of control. I mean I woke up yesterday and there was poop ON MY COUCH. 🤢 And they have peed on the kitchen counter, Gunner’s bed- had to replace the mattress... etc. Like- I’m done. I’ve tried everything. It’s really sad because I do like the cats. However, I think this will be better. They will be outdoors. My friend does 4-H with her kids and they have heated barns for their animals in the winter. So they will have really great outdoor shelters. Anyways... I’m sad about it. Giovanna is sad too. 😞

I mostly just post to my story and never send snaps to individuals. Maybe i'll start to put them in the group chat.

flamingo, C would think YH is so cool. He's been telling everyone he's going to be a pilot like his dad when he grows up. MH is not a pilot. Though in his defense MH is an aerospace engineer, so planes are involved.

We drove by a cemetery this morning and C asked what it was. I said "Its a cemetery". He says "Yeah, but what do you do there?". I told him the truth about dead bodies being buried there. I don't want to freak him out but how do you answer that one? I also asked him who his Valentine was and he said "all my friends. I'm not going to shoot them or anything!" Um..... Then I just read chrisy01 's post about the kid in her class and I worry that C is that kid. On a less dark note- DH picks up C on Tuesdays so I can go to the gym. Since my butt still hurts I'm skipping it this week. Instead I'm going to dinner at my parents where my mom is making her signature chicken dish- its like a gorgonzola/marsala situation- mashed potatoes and green beans. I can't wait! Since I was a kid our superstition when driving by a cemetery was to hold your breath so the spirits don't steal your soul (this was one hell of a challenge in GA because there were cemeteries like every 27 feet). So you won't be warping C as bad as I've warped mine. They do the Joey from Friends breath hold where they just puff out their cheeks but are still breathing through their noses.
