Omg I love her klong11! I don’t know if you’ve had an orange female but IME they are sassy! I've actually only had male orange cats. I think she'll be an interesting dynamic to our house. Her foster mom says she is super laid back. She was very vocal while we were there, but I think she was stressed being away from her babies, being surrounded by cats she didn't know, and dogs being brought in by customers of the pet store.

C has a cough and it’s starting to sound yucky. I gave him his inhaler. He’s acting fine otherwise but didn’t nap partially due to the cough. I also think I might have an infection. I’ll spare you the details but I’ll have to call my Dr tomorrow. Sigh. Dang it! I’m sorry.

Anyone else having issues logging in on Tapa? Or is it just me? I’m on mobile right now which I hate. Also, hugs to wineallthetime. Things will be back to normal soon. wedding tell C he isn’t allowed to get sick this week...you need him to go to DC so you can heal.

I'm hoping it's not infected, wedding. Yikes. vino what's the latest with Miss J? Feeling much better, I hope. I'm sorry wineallthetime. I'm sure that's really hard. The kids have had their routine turned upside down and they're just getting used to the new normal. I can see why that would be hurtful though. You're doing your best for all of them. ❤️

MH is planning our future trip to Puerto Rico. He wants to stay in the same room and has a special spot to take me on the beach. Considering I dragged him on our family vacation to California last year this is a huge step. In fact I don't think he has ever planned a trip big or small for us.

FIL is driving me nuts.
He agreed to come over around noon to help with a couple little projects (put up a new light fixture and disassemble a treadclimber). He showed up at 9:15 and put the ladder up and was getting frustrated that the kids were wanting to climb it and get into the tools.
Right. I could have predicted that, which is exactly why we discussed noon because then X would be napping and I could take Dude out to Chuck E Cheese so he'd be out of their way.
So he spent the next couple hours on the couch watching soccer and remarking how I was so busy and had so much work to do. Which he clearly didn't like because that meant, gasp! Pete had to supervise his own children while I did dishes, laundry, made lunch, etc.
Dude, your wife had three young kids too but you were always at work or oblivious to everything she had to manage when you were there.
It's so weird hearing men from my grandparent's generation talk about the division of household labor.

Also, I'm probably a little extra grouchy about it because you know, I just got back from Chuck E Cheese...

Hopefully he sleeps ok tonight. +1 on the Zarbees nighttime.

snoopmommymom I'm sorry about O and not pooping. Feel is abdomen if it's hard he has poop but if it's not he may not need to go poop. If it is hard call the nurses line for recommendations.

Work has been crazy today. I just got a moment to catch up here. I called boss B and said we need to find away to get S and K caught up on doing basic things in the office. They were by themselves on Friday and so much chaos was left for me today.
Edit: it sent it to early

My pregnancy app wished me a happy 33 weeks and told me I should start thinking about a birth plan. It made me giggle a bit.

Sorry I'm delayed this weekend... vino I'm glad J is on the mend, that's such a scary type of ER visit. wineallthetime everything is just a phase, but I'd probably have the exact same reaction. Lots for everyone to process and things will settle down, I'm sure it's impossible not to take everything personally though. Hugs♥️

C is acting totally normal and just sitting around he’s not coughing. No fever. I gave him some Benadryl to help with the post nasal drip. When he was younger it used to make him hyper but last time I gave it he passed out. I’m hoping for the latter! He can’t stand Zarbees and refuses to take it. He actually takes pills mostly because he doesn’t like liquid meds. He’s an odd kid. I’m feeling better. I’m hoping my infection fear is just anxiety about Work tomorrow. Time will tell. Thank for listening to my endless chatter guys. 💗 I’d be pissed at your FIL too cagoldi. He sounds like a lot to manage when you aren’t a million years pregnant.

Oh and my parenting fail of the day. I put a lavender bath bomb into Cs bath hoping to relax his cough or something. Yeah, his eczema didn’t like that too much. Luckily it was a quick reaction and cortisone lotion right after a good rinse took the itch down. Benadryl will help that too I guess.

Interesting about benedryl, wedding. C had it once when he was younger and it definitely made him hyper, he hasn't had it since either. I hope it's just anxiety and not an infection. My anxiety has me convinced that my appendix burst and that caused my water to break and now I've just been hanging out for 2 weeks with a burst appendix.

Yeah I was pretty certain the Dr was going to find a huge mass during my surgery. Ugh anxiety! He’s fast asleep now!

Happy end of the weekend. I don't know where the day went. After my run and workout, we did the grocery shopping, went to skating, I made obscene amounts of muffins, packed a few bags full of my clothes for donation, and played so much baseball with Colin. Chase and I also spent a lot of time before nap and bedtime kissing and laughing - this age is so freaking cute. And DH and I finally settled on Old Orchard Beach for our August family vacation. So it was a productive day and I am exhausted, as always.
Oooh also DH made bread pudding for breakfast this morning using extra soda bread. It was insane. YUM.

snoopmommymom The miralax doesn’t make them go like a laxative. It’s just supposed to make it soft enough for them to go easily. How much are you giving him? We started M off on 2 tsp and then upped it to 1 tbsp. M at first didn’t want anything to do with sitting on the potty. The dr told me to set a timer for 5 min and when the timer went off she was supposed to get up, whether she pooped or not. Even if she poops in the first 30 sec, she’s supposed to stay there the whole 5 min. Does he have some toys that could keep him occupied that long? Any books that you could read super slow? The dr said to just make it routine. Just like a nap or bedtime routine. Does he like pear or apple juice? Raspberries or blackberries?
