Omg, I’m so freaking tired and just trying to drink my coffee and Ryland has been arguing with me for 15 minutes about if we can get a cow. A COW! Wtf??? Whatever kid. Leave me alone for ten minutes and I’ll buy you two damn cows. Four year olds, man. Dude keeps insisting we need an emu, bats, and sheep. I love bats but not many domesticated so, no. We'll see what we can do about the emu and sheep. Someday.

I 100% get not scolding again when it's something that has been resolved, but MH and I will often talk to C about his behavior the next day. Like if he's acting out at bedtime and MH addresses is, the next morning I may say something like, "Daddy told me you weren't making good choices at bedtime" and then we'll talk about it a bit. I don't get angry with him, but we chat about it even though I wasn't involved. We do this in our house too. And often the other parent will address the issue with S. Like "I heard you were giving Daddy a hard time, etc" and then we'll talk about it with him. It seems to work for us, mostly to let him know that daddy and I are united, no matter what. Same. But I agree with klong11 I don't think her H has quite the right approach about it.

Congratulations, nam2013! This sounds so perfect for you. When will you give your notice? Is two weeks customary there?

Oh man, wedding. That's too long to suffer through this. There has to be something they can do to make you more comfortable until then?

Can you get on a waitlist if someone else cancels wedding ? I hope at least the pain can be managed until then. I'm laughing at the dental museum yummeecookee ! Is this dental hygiene month or something? B's school had a dentist or hygienist come talk to them this week and I think later this month they're doing some sort of flossing-with-legos exercise, or so says the calendar. Woohoo and congrats nam2013!

OH man wedding , I'm so sorry! Do they have anything they can do in the meantime to make you more comfortable? That sucks. Aside from pain meds, not really. I am prescribed to take them up to 4 times a day but I take them once a day usually. One horrific day I took 3. But I don't want to get hooked on them either and I can't drive while on them so it's not a super great option.

Woohoo and congrats nam2013 ! I am going to ask to be on a waitlist. Unfortunately it also requires a lot of coordination. I will need to be out of work for a week and need a lot of help at home. I have a business trip the first week of March and DH has one the following week. So unless its in the next two weeks, it wouldn't work for us. I think I just need to buck up and deal.

I'm working but taking some flex time in a bit to go to a school district meeting about kids who will be attending TK or Kindergarten in the Fall.
I'm so not ready for this!

Anyone watching the opening ceremonies tonight? Aren’t they tomorrow night? I watched a little downhill skiing and curling last night.

I wanted to update you on the school situation. S officially moved into the the PreK classroom on Monday, after doing a few days trial last week. He is the youngest kid there, but there are only 10 kids in the class (there were like 19 in his old one). It is amazing. In just a few days, he has learned more than he did in months in the old class. He is writing his name, learning to spell things. It is mind blowing. I am so happy with the decision. And he is so excited to go to school every day!

+whatever of get better sickies. It's been a brutal year for illness. Congratulations nam2013!!! That really sucks wedding. I hope you find some decent ways to manage the pain until then. Also LOLing at the dental museum. I just might be an anti-dentite. Same old around here. Work. Sunny41 I didn't even know the opening ceremony was tonight. I thought it was tomorrow. I'm an Olympics geek--love every minute of it. But I have class this weekend so I won't get to watch much. :/ At least reading the updates will keep me awake from the utter boredom. I get annoyed with my husband with riling the kids up. There's time to play, and time when they need to calm their asses down and it always seems to be when I'm trying to get them to settle that he gets them acting up. Annoys me to no end. Also, since they do tae kwon do, he kept encouraging Cass to practice kicks in line at Disneyland. Not the time or place dude. She's around 43" and a very solid 40-ish pounds and often throws herself around roughly and hurts herself and others. I don't need her kicking others on top of it. ![B-|](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/notamused.png)

flamingo yummeecookee - my calendar from day care says it dental hygiene month. I just thought it was just a thing at our school but maybe it's a thing everywhere. We have a pediatric dentist come visit and bring the kids toothbrushes and stuff (Along with business cards) Great marketing for that dentist's office! However, we are not going to the dental museum. I didn't even know such a thing existed. I'd be curious to see what it entails.

Maddie wants to get rats. I encouraged it. She was talking about stupid hamsters or something like that (don't ever let your kid get a hamster--they are the fucking worst) and I mentioned rats. Her first response was "ew" and I showed her adorable internet videos of domesticated rats and she was instantly sold. I would love ratties again someday but not until the kids are old enough to clean the cage.

My dad lives to do this. And if he can make them scream- he's even happier. Drives me bonkers!

Hi! wedding, your situation sounds miserable. I'm sorry you may have to deal with it for so long. Hope all the sick kids and moms feel better soon. So glad S is thriving in his new class and you are happy jewels. Get you some supplies for home. Once M started learning his letters and how to write them, it's all he wants to do.
