Morning and Happy Easter! We didn't hide eggs, we just put baskets together. Our plans for the day fell through so now we have to figure out plan B. It's gross out so I am feeling less than motivated.
Last night was a shit show. DH kept making fun of a new shirt I bought, to the point I changed right before we left. Then he wouldn't shut up about being sorry which only made it worse. It's not the first time his "joking" has been way too much but it was certainly bad timing.
So we get to the party and it's for DH's friend and they were so late, which meant I tried to keep the boys occupied while he socialized. Then his friend's (brothers) kids are Colin's age and up, and he wants them to like him so much. But he's so shy and awkward (and these kids tend to stick together), which breaks my heart. I worry a lot that he's going to be bullied. DH thinks it's related to when he starts school but I think it's about his personality. He reminds me a lot of my brother as a kid, and he was always a target. So yeah, add that being in my face along with DH annoying me... I just wanted to go to bed when we got home and he wanted to talk. Argh.
Anyhow I'm feeling a bit anxious about the social events that school hosts for the incoming kindergartners, though maybe those will serve as a barometer for how he'll do socially.

joelies are any of the kids from C’s preschool going to kindergarten with him? Oddly enough, S does great with older kids, usually charms the pants off them and they wind up playing great together. But he seems so shy around kids his age that he doesn’t know. K is still a year away for us, but I know at least 4 other families from day care that will be in elementary school with us so I feel like that will make it easier. If not, hopefully these events will make him more comfortable. Maybe you can arrange some park meet ups with some of those kids so he really remembers them?

Mh woke up at 7 and hid the eggs. Cadence just came running into my room. He finished just in time, but probably woke her in the process. Oh well.
We'll hang out at the house this morning, then head to SIL's for lunch.

A few kids will be at his school though we don't know about who is in what class yet. They give the parents contact info once the assignments are made so the kids can have playdates before school starts, which I definitely want to take advantage of.

joelies O is very shy too. We went to an art display at his school the other day and it was all kids from his class and their parents but he clung to my leg the first 15 minutes. He wouldn’t say hi to any of his friends that were calling his name. I know our school will have 6-7 K classes so the odds of him being with friends are not in our favor.

Happy Easter! S is at it again, this time she woke me up to the sound of vomiting. She has terrible sickness timing, she was sick on both thanksgiving and Christmas this year. Aside from that she’s acting fine. I got H up and we came out to find their easter baskets. S was playing and then threw up again, all she had was water so it was clear. I’m trying some Cheerios now. DH and H left for church a little bit ago. I don’t think S and I will be going to brunch later.

She ate some Cheerios and has already thrown them up. I wonder if I could crush up one of my zofran pills and give it to her in applesauce.

trtlcrzy we missed so many holidays when DD was younger due to sickness. joelies I don't think when he starts K matters, shy is shy. My oldest is super shy, my middle ones are not at all. Hockey has helped the big boy a lot.

Hockey has helped the big boy a lot. Thanks kim22. We're hoping sports help too. His T-ball league starts next week and he's so excited. He's probably more introverted than shy, TBH. He's very outgoing when he's surrounded by friends, even in less familiar places. So I think the more kids he can get to know ahead of time, the better.

Have I mentioned that Chase's favorite song is Ring Around the Rosie? He sings "ashes, ashes, all fall DOWN" constantly. This morning he was whisper singing as fast as he could, which sounded extra creepy. He's so odd.

trtlcrzy I hope S feels better soon. I wouldn't mind missing out on going to Hs family for sickness, just don't want anyone to actually be sick. H's family events are an ALL day thing, MIL is always trying to get E to be with her, not me, they just annoy the shit out of me. Like why can't we go, say hi, eat and hang out for an hour, then come home? But nope, we likely won't be home til 7 or after. Smilz is waiting to get lab results this morning to see how he's doing, if he will be released from the NICU. She's in a lot of pain from the C-section so she couldn't see him overnight. H got up just before 6 and hid a bunch of eggs outside. Evie was so excited, but it is 28 degrees so we made quick work of finding them!

I hope S feels better soon trtlcrzy and that no one else gets it! Luckily, mh hates family things as much as me, so we won't have to stay at SILs for very long. Unless she serves lunch late, which she has been known to do.

Happy Easter! We opened baskets, did the egg hunt, and found the lollipops we planted in the garden. Now I'm cleaning and H is cooking for the party at 2. We will do an outdoor egg hunt with all the cousins later.

We are just chilling at home today. MH his eggs outside for S. It took her a while to catch it n but she finally started picking them up. It was cold though so she had to be bundled up pretty good.
My parents are headed back today to stay this week and help with S since MH has training this week in STL.
I’m feeling a little better but still have a good bit of pain. I’m trying to space out the pain meds so they last me. I took a shower earlier and shaved...I can’t fully bend and rotate my body so it was challenging and I ended up slicing the back of my thigh open.
I was hoping to go to work tomorrow but I don’t know if I’m going to make it. I will probably run in and get my laptop and some paperwork and do a little work from home.

mwhip this is why I usually skip her house. Had I known it wouldn't be until 4 I could have taken Cadence to my mom's this morning to see my niece and brother and still been back in time. Now it's too late.

E slept until after 7! Then we got up and did inside egg hunt. It is so cute watching the little legs doing excited running! I ended up putting some eggs aside and hiding them outside. Not much else for the day.
