I am on my way home from a local Chinese restaurant. It was good. I had two drinks and I am feeling nice. I will be going home to watch power, eat rocky road Oreos, drink a ton of water, and probably take a couple Motrin for good measure.

It's wonderful the baby is looking good, but how stressful. This is a lot for everyone. Maybe he'll calm down now that things are stable. Is there any way you can visit her for a little bit? loony I’m home alone with two kids under 5, 6 hours away. I’m hoping to go next weekend and leave them with my mom while I hang out with her for a few hours. But we basically have to trade off and DD is in school during week days and I have the first week of the Quarter this week at the college. There’s also nowhere to stay anywhere near the hospital, so it’s 2.5 hours each way from my mom’s house. She slept in a folding chair last night, which is why she’s going home tonight. So really, there isn’t a good solution and it sucks. I did get to have a good convo with my BFF on the east coast after her kids went down, so I’m feeling better.

rayann I just binged 4 seasons of Power off Hulu and am DYING to watch s5 but don’t have starz. I need Hulu to release it ASAP. I’ve honestly never watched a show that was riveting all 4 seasons, it’s like a TV law that shows always have a slow season, or boring episodes or drop off, but not power. Every damn episode is amazing!

I KNOW. I get Thai food with my mom and sister instead, or just rename what I make for dinner. “Creamy peanut chicken” because that’s apparently less terrifying than Thai peanut chicken to a grown-ass man. Lol totally something I would do. H is meh on Greek food and I love it, but I will make it at home and he eats it just fine. I don’t even call stuff anything globally regional anymore. It’s just dinner. Otherwise he’s a grown man-child and whining “I don’t like it”

I am one of 12 people assigned to make a main dish for a team picnic. There will be 33 players/coaches plus their families. There could be 100 people, but who knows how many will eat. If I'm making a variety of sliders, how many should I make? This is stressing me out. lol

I just talked to my mom and lost it. The baby is in the right place. The neonatologist conversation was awesome and they are absolutely in the right place. My poor sister is having to do every 20 minute blood draws 24 hours a day. My mom said she lost it on a nurse while my sister finally fell asleep for the first time in 24 hours today. They won’t even let her walk to the bathroom or even stand up and her hips and back hurt. I know I can’t be there, but man, I wish I was there to rub her feet and back and give my mom a break. My mom has her major things, but she’s a good mom. My BIL on the other hand keeps picking fights with all the nurses, my sister and my mom through the interpreters. I understand his need to have a neutral third party, but he can be such an ass and that big man syndrome is just not helping my sister. Good news though, all labor has stopped. She’s not having contractions and her waters have receded and are intact. She’s been at 4cm since 8am. So we’re in it for the long haul. Poor girl is miserable on all the meds though. I’m just home feeling helpless. I cannot imagine what she must be feeling. I remember my tailbone hurt so much after laying in a hospital bed so long. The worst! And you know her husband is probably so stressed out and just not able to help, not excusing his behavior, but you know what I mean. That's all so scary, but I am so glad she's where she's at. Thank you for giving so many updates. I know I am super invested and just thinking about her and hoping for the best possible outcome.

You're right, who knows how many will actually eat and you don't want a lot to go to waste.

The girls do eat a lot after a game, but I have no idea what anyone else is bringing. Thanks!

I bought some raspberry flavored rum I plan to add to something later, not sure what yet, but it’ll be yummy. Trying to find a scary movie for after the kids go to bed. Quoting myself to say that the raspberry rum is a little medicinal tasting, but I'm drinking it anyway. Plus Im at that delightful place where I'm starting to feel the alcohol but not drunk....just chatty. May not last much longer, but I'm going to keep on drinking and watching the terrible delightful Ghost Adventures. It's my "scary movie" for the night.

I mixed it with sprite, I may add some extra lime in the next glass. I really wanted something strawberry or watermelon but the store I went to didn't have any left, so next time.

SO works down there on the weekends so he could help my mom on Saturday. It just happened too late to do anything this weekend and I still wouldn’t have had childcare.

I get off work at 4 (possibly earlier if I need to), which is an awful time through the valley and for kids stuck in the car! I would love to meet you guys for a park date to break up the drive. I’ll keep you posted.

No word on my niece. MIL is currently at the hospital so at this point. I really hope the silence from everyone doesn’t mean she is pushing this whole time. Her water broke around 12 and this is the first baby and she had no contractions as of a few hours ago. I need some updates from the parties out of state soon.

Bad news is I only have 2/3 who have had this bug. I really do not want the last one to get it. She does not care for Baby Shark but she will want to dominate one of the TVs and watch other things like Boss Baby and Secret Life of Pets that I am very much done with.
