I wish I could say I'm up so early because of my kid...but I keep waking at 4:30. Every. Damn. Day. Not a big deal on work days, but I have today off so it sucks. I managed to lay in bed til 5 but gave up. So I'm drinking coffee in silence.
I emptied the bottom half of the kitchen last night and H took the sink out when he got home. Now I can't make anything for breakfast.

Post cool pics if you're okay with sharing nam2013! It's so cool that you get to see things many of us (at least me) likely never will!

I’m wfh for part of the day today. DC called yday and told me C had a rash on his body and I needed to come get him, so he’s not allowed back today. Nothing to be alarmed about. His so called rash is where his pull-up chafes against his skin on his hips and belly. I wish I could get him in underwear and then this wouldn’t be an issue. I’m frustrated w the zero progress he is making w PT. He just dgaf. B was nearly done w PT at this same age. I don’t know what to do w him!

Morning! B has his "fiesta" at school today (outdoor picnic where they show off the Spanish they've been learning this year), so I have that at 11. Of all the days, this is not ideal, but oh well. While he's at school, C and I are going to run out for flowers and to get new placemats. I got all the cooking done yesterday except for icing the cake, so I am in a good spot. I think. mwhip sorry for the unnecessary early wake-ups...I've been doing the same but at 5:30...then by the time I fall back asleep (usually well past 6, almost 7) it's nearly time to get up.

Good morning! My sleep has been crap for the last two nights -- I think it's the house stuff that's getting to me, although I got a phone call yesterday that it looks like we're in good shape. Josie went to bed at eight last night (late for her) and was up at 6:30 this morning. Somethings going on with her because she's extra grumpy lately. I can see her brain really trying to work things out because when she gets frustrated with me asking her to do something that's a non- negotiable, she tells me, "let me think that through." I find it infuriating because I know what the end result needs to be, but I grit my teeth and don't say anything because I know she trying really hard.

Would you consider trying the 3 day method and see what happens?

Morning! Today should be fun. The girls are going over to the ILs this afternoon to spend the night because DH and I have a wedding to go to. This morning will be spent packing the girls stuff up (which feels like a lot because I’m sending S’s potty and a probably a bunch of extra pants/undies) and playing outside.

Morning! Yesterday was super crazy at work. When I got home the smell of dinner made me nauseous so I ate what I could then went to bed. Now I'm just waiting for LO to wake up so I can take him to school.

trtlcrzy, yes mh and I have talked about the 3 day method for C since it seems to be so successful (both on the interwebz and w ppl we know IRL!).Problem is nailing down a weekend to just do it. Next 3 day wknd we have is Memorial Day and we are going away, so not ideal. Anyone think it could work (or at least make serious progress) if I try to cram it into a regular 2day wknd? 🤔

My sister is dropping off her 1 and 5 year olds in a bit so she can visit grandma at rehab. I'm hoping C will nap so I can juggle the puppy and the 1 year old. Grandma won't be able to return to her apartment so we need to find a long term place for her and clean out the apartment so we will be researching that later. I feel bad and wish I could take her but we are busting at the seams here already.

I think if he’s already made some progress a 2 day weekend could work.

How's H's ear this morning, tgrimes ? Still draining. One of the teachers at daycare this morning asked if the office called me yesterday about his ear draining. I explained our ENT visit and she said he was screaming so they thought his ear was bothering him. They didn't tell me that when they called me though so now I feel like shit that I didn't pick him up yesterday.

Today is tough bc I’m still working but once I’m done for the day I can really go all in.

tgrimes they didn't tell you, don't beat yourself up. When do you know if it's a 'regular virus' or the super bug? I just want H and you to get past this ridiculously long phase!

So I thought Cadence had gotten in trouble yesterday because she was sitting at the "trouble table" by herself during lunch. Nope. She was having an attitude and told the teacher she didn't want to sit by anyone. The teacher put her lunch on that table so she could be by herself. Cadence threw attitude, but refused to used words to say what was wrong. She just does this angry grunt/growl thing. She's been doing it at home and it's annoying as shit. So it apparently continued into naptime where she threw her blanket and hid under the table in the home center. The teacher just left her alone and she eventually crawled over to her mat and fell asleep for a 2 hour nap, double what she normally takes. So clearly the girl is exhausted, and I don't blame her she has been up at least an hour later each night this week because she just won't fall asleep. I asked her what was going on at lunch and nap time and she just said she was angry, but didn't know why. I told her that it was fine to be angry and not know why, but that she needed to try and start using her words rather than grunting, because no one knows what the growl/grunt means except for her.

Morning! Lady came into our room in the middle of the night with a brigade of stuffed animals and then proceeded to toss and turn for an hour. She has done this a time or two recently (which is not the norm), so I think we need to nip it in the bud.
Then my mom sent me a text at 2am to let me know she's heading to Italy for a week and proceeded to send me all her life insurance info. She's so funny about traveling sometimes and forgets about the time difference apparently.
So, I had a tossing turning toddler and my phone blowing up in middle of the night. Needless to say, I am dragging this morning and I have a million things to do.

mwhip guster They sent it to the lab Wednesday so we probably won't know until Monday. The nurse said she'd check on it today but the lab they use tests against way more viruses than your normal lab corps/quest diagnostics so it takes a bit longer.
