Huge hugs purple, I hope you found something fluffy to read and you feel better. We're here if you need us. Well, it's 5am here and I've been awake since 2.30 so it could be better. But I am reading fanfic so it could be much worse. I've just been accepted into the Firewhisky and Honey FB group and I blame you :-) The thing that set off this particular grieving spell was a conversation with a friend who innocently said how great preschool is because it gives her solo time with her younger child. I suddenly realised why I haven't been as productive with L's time at preschool as I had intended to be. I should be spending the time with my younger children. I should not be going back, alone, to an empty house. We started trying for a sibling in February 2016 and six losses later, I'm currently trying to accept that she might be an only child. |

May I come in and say hi? I’ve been gone a while. Basically since I had my third kid in August. She’s a joy but man the juggling the three of them is hard when they are all so young. Welcome! Good to see you. Life must be crazy if you have three kids now! Our old BMB is a private proBoards board now. Let me know if you're interested, I'm sure people would love to "see" you. Here's a recent photo of L. She found a tree to sit in, so she sat and sang nursery rhymes to the trees for about ten minutes. Poof |

marygracerich, G is gorgeous. I bet she and L would get on. L is very keen on her doctor's set at the moment too.

Awww purple she’s gorgeous. I think I’m still logged in there actually. When I can get back to posting here regularly I might pop in there and say hi. All my love to you. mischief Hugs to you. Thank you for the welcome back. I’m sorry about your insurance. You fight that bill. Like some others said, they expect people to just give up. |

marygracerich, G is gorgeous. I bet she and L would get on. L is very keen on her doctor's set at the moment too. Play date! Lol that is of course if I didn’t live in NY and you didn’t live wherever you live. Lol I was hoping the dr kit would make going to the dr easier. Nope. She still fights the whole thing. My kid is also fascinated with commercials for medicines. She could be a busy bee and stop what she is doing if a commercial for like Tremfaya or Paxil comes on. 😂Here is hoping for a future in medicine. 🤞🏻 |

Prescription medicines? Wow. Another thing about the US that would never have crossed my mind in a million years. That would be illegal on so many levels here. We got the doctor's set after she had already been playing doctor for about six months. We thought some accessories might help, and she's certainly enthusiastic! I live in Scotland. So no, no playdates, alas! |

So no, no playdates, alas! We have A LOT of prescription medicine commercials here. I am currently watching the news and I have seen one during almost every commercial break. The healthcare system in the US is sort of fucked right now as we can see by mischief ‘s ridiculous bill. Scotland is on my list of places to visit when the kiddos get a little older so don’t right off a gtg yet! Lol |

I may have the flu. I woke up fevered, sore throat, fatigue and nauseous.
My temp went up 101.1. I took Motrin which killed the fever enough for me to eat something. I’m currently drinking tea with lemon and honey in order to try and soothe my throat. Baby goes down for a nap in about a half hour and G doesn’t come home for at least 2 hours later. I am going to
Nap too.

So you have my sympathies All around. I hope you get better. |

I’m trucking along with new lifestyle change. It hasn’t been too hard.
I’ve been cycling every day. I’ve become pretty obsessed with it. I’ve notice I’ve lost inches too. So I’m goong to hold off on buying clothes because I’m in that weird losing weight stage where my regular size fits loose, (did I use loose right?) and too tight to size down.
So yeah. We’ll see.

MH works until 6 every day so I am solo for most of the day. He comes home for about an hour and half in the middle of the day for lunch. He is off Saturday so I will spend Saturday morning in bed if I still feel crappy. I may also seek a Drs advice at some point. |

My sweet little girl had mercy on me and asked for pb&j for dinner. She is happy and didn’t have to cook. The baby and I had leftovers.

G wouldn’t get on the bus to come home. I had to pick her up. 😞. I had to wake the baby and carry him into school. This was not part of my plans for today. I am still pretty weak from being sick so the baby seemed extra heavy.
I am supposed to work tonight but I think I am going to go tomorrow instead.

On an encouraging note, babies are resilient. You’re doing a Great job managing all of it. They are both alive and something that’s the main victory. Hopefully working will help reset your mind. Sometimes that brief break from kids helps. |

Sometimes that brief break from kids helps. Thanks. Today I am barely managing to be honest. I feel like crap but MH should be home in a little more than 2 hours. That should help. I don’t think I can manage work tonight. I’m just too weak. I have to lift boxes and I just don’t think I could do it today. I’m going to go tomorrow. |

I'm sorry, marygracerich, that sounds so stressful. I hope you were able to get some rest and that you feel well enough to work this evening. The time away from both kids will probably do you good if you're able. Thinking of you. |

I don’t really want to but I’m going. I just want to bury myself in my bed and sleep until I feel better. |

I am so anxious about G getting on the bus. School lets out in a little more than an hour. At that point I could get a call if she won’t get on the bus. My stomach is in knots wondering if she will or won’t get on it. I really hope she does. I cannot pick her up every day.
