*snip tgrimes was it ever determined if H has a super virus or what was the plan from here? Poor little guy. No super bug. His ear culture was growing out 4 different viruses but they were just normal cold viruses.

Question: how do you ladies do it when two kids are sleeping in the same room and one is a nightmare to put down and keeping the other one up? I drink.

Question: how do you ladies do it when two kids are sleeping in the same room and one is a nightmare to put down and keeping the other one up? We had a period where that was the case with Josie and Charlie. Charlie was a nightmare -- super light sleeper, everything would distract him, so Josie would go down first, and then we'd bring Charlie in. She could sleep through anything so it worked.

Something the ENT did tell me was that a lot of times kids are misdiagnosed with sinus infections when it may actually be an adenoid infection. Your adenoids can get infected just like your tonsils can but since you can't see them, they write it off as something else.
FX that's H's issues so he won't be as sick as often when all of this is over in a couple weeks.

Hi! We are spending the day together. MH leaves Friday.
In other news... MH bought a virtual reality thing. It’s crazy. The first game he put me on was a Stranger Things game and I was frreeaakking out. Too real.

You’ve raised a handsome young man, ladystrat . Thank you! It's inside and out and comes from his father. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It's a half day for seniors, but he's staying through lunch to eat with a couple freshman guys he befriended who were struggling with bullying. This literally made me tear up. What a good kid.

cagoldi, you're amazing. I feel so proud of myself when I just get in one work out class or BBM video! You should be proud! I'm hardly sitting down at all except to feed/cuddle the baby. Even then, she fusses when her reflux acts up so I walk her in the carrier and that settles her most of the time.

FYI Costco has 10 mg off brand Zyrtec tabs on sale for $10 for 365. It's a hell of a deal and works just as good as name brand. It's recommended for age 6+. Cass' doc was fine with her taking it because she's the size of a 6 yo. I suppose you could cut pills too if you wanted a smaller dose. They both struggled with swallowing the pills at first, but then we covered them in nasty Kraft cheese like we do with the cats and they go down easily. My dad, and his BFF who's a pharmacist, both swear by this stuff. I probably need to go get some for DH, he's a bit sniffly lately.

Also hi. Work is so damn busy, trying to get lots done before our user conference next week. I really need to find a way to take at least a half day off, I'm still super stiff and just plain TIRED. But yeah, too busy. Also I need a pedicure in the WORST way but I'm not sure anyone gets paid enough to deal with these feet.
The boys are so into playing outside right now. The problem is that DH is glued to the TV on a good day, but right now he's really struggling with allergies, so it's all on me. Last night, I was "running" (i.e., trying not to keel over while walking quickly) after Colin and also playing hopscotch in the driveway. Aside from just not having the energy, my legs literally feel like they're going to snap underneath me. But after such a long winter, I just want the boys to get out and play as much as possible. Plus with me being away 3 nights next week, I don't want them missing out NOW too. Sigh...

Somehow, by the grace of the good Lord above, I survived Hallmark with 2 kids and came away with all 7348956 cards we needed. I feel like HM is one of those stores that demands quiet and good behavior b/c it's an older crowd, people are trying to read cards, etc, and of course both kids were dancing on my last nerve. This sweet older lady--BTDT mom--approached me and was like, "Honey, your kids are fine. You're doing great. This isn't a library, if they make a little noise it's alright." And then after that both kids magically settled down, and she gave B a high-five. Wherever you are, BTDT mom, thanks for the vote of confidence. ...maybe i should write a blog post about this ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png)

How is the reno going mwhip ? Tile is down on the floor in the basement, but no grout yet...I should have asked how long it would be before he can do the grout. He's removing the tile in the main bathroom, which is right off our living room, so super loud up here. But I can deal with the noise since work is getting done.
He thinks he can get the bathrooms close to finished tomorrow, then finish them up Thursday and do the backsplash Thursday as well. Except I didn't ask if I could work from home Thursday and H has to go back to Nebraska. So I'm trying to decide if I ask if it's okay to WFH again or if I think my dad, step mom and Evie would leave the guy alone Thursday to get the work finished. I'm thinking it would be best for me to be here, but I don't know what my boss is going to say...

Awwww flamingo, that was very nice of her. It's always nice when other mom's let us know our kids aren't the little assholes we sometimes think they are!
