Oh no @peach, that sounds terrible.
ETA- do you have dry shampoo to spray in your hair?

Both of the kids are snotty messes. H was nice enough to share his snot all over my shirt before I handed him off to his teacher. Thanks kid. Ah, the international symbol of motherhood...snot on your clean shirt which you get to wear all day. Some people choose jewelry, I apparently needed snot.

B spiked a fever last night and it’s carried over into today so mh and I are splitting up the workday. I went into the office earlier and now I’m back here to finish out the day wfh. She is acting totally normal and has no other symptoms, just 102 fever, so not sure what that’s about. Poor girl. I hope she feels better soon.

Another one of my coworkers has the flu. Fuck.
What do I drink to prevent this from happening to me? Vodka? Tequilla?

L is whining in her crib. Nap, girl! You need a nap and I need you to nap! After she gets up we are running to the store for the essentials, omeprazol for heartburn and skittles. I think I'll also have the kids pick out a treat to give MH on Wednesday. Is L still taking two naps a day? I'd be insanely jealous. We been at one up for so long: I could put Charlie down around 10 and wake him right before we need to leave at noon, but I try to wait until I get home at 1 so I can have a full hour and 35 minutes to myself before we go back to pick up Josie.

They have the common charges wrong in the contract. I really hope this doesn't turn the buyer off or delay this process any longer. I'm a ball of stress waiting for it to be over.

Nooooooo! She was up from 2:30-5:30am though for the most part, so she's kinda a mess today! Usually I put her down between noon-1. Otherwise the afternoon is so long!

Morning girls. We had a parent-teacher conference this afternoon. He’s doing great and ds’ teacher loves him. She said he’s sweet, kind and considerate, that his vocabulary is insane and he makes her laugh a lot. She likes that he already has his own approach to things that surround him. It made me really proud.

We just had a conference call about the changes post-merge. I am so glad I'm not staying on.. My boss has moved past anger and is doing this odd laugh instead.. I'm worried for his sanity lol.

Hi! O has been in underwear at night since November and had his first two pee accidents yesterday and today. What gives?! I already ordered that pee pad you guys were talking about because stripping the bed at 4am is no bueno.
MH, O, and Z are all sick. Despite constantly touching their snot, I’ve somehow been spared. I hope i can avoid it all together. The biggest baby stayed home from work today but i sent the little babies to school since they don’t have a fever and are just snotty.
I was hoping for pics of everybody’s flamingo cookies yesterday since so many of you made them. It’d be fun to see how they all turned out. I might try to make them tomorrow if everybody is feeling better. Do not want to spread germs through homemade cookies. Lol.

Morning!
I'm putting dinner together in the crock pot while C naps; she had her 15-month well-check this morning and got some shots, so I think she's sleeping them off.
B woke up with the cold C has so that is fun. Hopefully this is all it is. They've really been so healthy this year, other than B's case of strep and the broken leg, so I shouldn't' complain.
No big plans, it's cold and rainy here today. Hope all the sick moms and littles are feeling better soon!

Valentine’s Day snuck up! I grabbed some rice krispy valentines at the store today thankfully. I got all the teachers king size Reese’s hearts.
We probably will stay home the rest of the day! My uncle will pick G up and take her to gymnastics with my cousin. (My cousin is 9... my parents had kids young and my dad is the oldest- his youngest sister had kids older) But- it works out well! He drives by our house on the way anyways and this way I don’t have to wrangle my kids there.

Morning! At work, and both coworkers are gone so it's nice and quiet. My one coworker was off all last week and today, and I think I much prefer it this way. I don't mind her, but I like the quiet and I'm not getting annoyed by hearing about her poor life choice. haha.
I told DH that tonight we need to purge our closet. I've had a box on the floor collecting old clothes for probably 2 years and I know I have so much more I can get rid of. I've been telling myself to save up a bunch of stuff to have a garage sale but now I'm thinking that is too much work so we'll probably just donate everything. I just want it gone.

I've been keeping some baby stuff just in case my SIL got pregnant. A few of the bigger item things I tried to give to them awhile ago and she tells my she doesn't have anywhere to put it. So i donated a bunch and just kept a couple of expensive things my MIL bought, like the mommaroo swing. I told MH to put stuff in the attic (the stuff I couldn't get up there we donated) and put some things on the curb. I just want the stuff gone.
Last night my SIL announces that she's pregnant. The stuff on the curb was already gone. She asked me what all I kept. Ummmm, I've been trying to give you some of this shit for a year! augh.

I think I mentioned here Friday that our china cabinet was delivered and had fresh damage, and I had called the company about it.
So surprisingly enough, the manager called me this morning. I was all ready to launch into my story but he was like, "Yeah, I saw the pictures. When can we come back out to pick it up?" I was in the middle of trying to get the kids out the door to school so we picked a date and that was that.
After we got off the phone, I realized that I had not actually sent them pictures. (I did take some, but did not send). All I can think of is that the delivery guys noticed that it was in rough shape and took some, perhaps? I would hate to think they noticed the damage at the business before they returned it to us and took some photos but brought it anyway? So weird. Ugh. I just want it fixed, in pre-move condition. #FWP

peachsmama a skunked dog is the worst. C slept 10-4 and 4:30-7:30! Finally did BBM day 2, started laundry, showered, and fixed the jury duty mix up.. Feeding C then running to exchange my next box of diapers for a bigger size. Big kids have a 1:00 dismissal and DD has an appointment to see if she needs glasses then gymnastics. I have a conference tonight with DS1's teacher. How old is your DD? My nephew just got fitted for glasses, he's almost 3. They are so adorable on him! She is 7 which is the same age that I got glasses. It will be a pain with gymnastics if she needs them but she seems ok with it, she mentioned a bunch of classmates who recently got glasses.

I wouldn't even worry about it, give her a list of what you have and let her figure the rest out. You were nice enough to offer it up and hold onto it as long as you did. That said, we held onto all of Evie's baby furniture (crib, changing table, dresser, glider) for over a year for our friends using a surrogate. It should be able to be used this week though!

Morning! Rough night and morning. peachsmama,Hope your day improves and you have a nice date night. Hope all the sick kids get better soon. slenle I signed up with thredUp last month and just got around to putting some stuff in the bag they sent. I had 3-4 big bags of clothes I kept in our guest room closet to go through. I hope I get something back from them. It's so sad that some of the things I put in there still had tags on it. Also went through Ms old stuff for M2 and the stuff I wanted to put in the donate pile, MH was like, should we save this for someone else? NO. I just want it out of my house. I don't have space to just save things in case other people we know want them in the future. I kind of let him have it, because if it was up to him, we would be hoarders.

Thanks y'all. My BIL, is looking at getting a custom made baby carrier. Why, you ask? Because he found a cammo one that has pockets for his guns... Then he makes a comment that he guesses he'll have to get a gun safe now. I'VE BEEN ASKING THEM TO GET ONE SINCE M WAS BORN! That's why I never allowed my kids over there without me to supervise.
