Terrific Tuesday

[tgrimes]

jewels Want to talk about it in the private thread?

[dapostrophe]

mwhip. Yes, he will get tested at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months. He did last time too, but the results got lost due to a "glitch in their system" and we were never notified that there was an issue. We did not think there was anything to worry about until I got pregnant (9 months after the procedure). Obviously, this time we will be aggressive about follow up and the whole office is on notice as well.

[guster]

I’m sorry things are rocky right now, jewels. We’re here if you need to vent.

[guster]

I hope the procedure is quick and effective,dapostrophe. Very glad to hear that the office manager apologized to you.

[jewels]

Thanks tgrimes, honestly there is nothing specific to talk about. I Think I am just in a funk and letting the things that I need to let go of get to me.

[mwhip]

jewels Sorry things aren't good with your H. I question how much longer I can live with mine as well, so I get where you're coming from. I really think his travelling is the only thing that saves us at this point. If you need someone to vent/talk to, I'm here!

chrisy01 You're so sweet, if I win the lottery tonight, no one is going to know for awhile! Except the people I owe money to!

[mwhip]

OMG dapostrophe now that I read that, I remember you saying that. Completely ridiculous situation. Yes, lots and lots of follow up calls this time, I bet nothing gets 'lost!'

I’d like to keep it between MH, a lawyer and a financial planner for a while.
But I have big giant plans in my head about how to spend money.

Hello. I was suppose to be tracking down 310 jello cups, popcorns and waters for DD’s school today but she woke up with a migraine so we are home. C is still not sleeping more than 45 minutes at a time. DH will be late tonight getting home. I’m exhausted.

45 min at a time during the night?

Yup, if I win the lottery, I’m giving it all to a night nanny.

[kim22]

mwhip You have the constant monitoring with Ring right? I have the doorbell and 2 extra cameras but they only record when there is motion. H told me to get the constant monitoring one at Costco.

You have my sympathy.  M would only sleep in 45 min increments as a baby, too.  It was the fucking worst.

Sorry jewels I hope things start getting easier!

Yes, but I don't think it's different than any Ring systems.  We just have our motion turned up pretty high, plus a flag that blows in the wind all day to set it off, so it pretty much constantly records.  Just make sure you pay for the monitoring through Ring, it's like $3 a month.

This is how often ours is recording

Brutal. I’m sorry for the lack of sleep.

[guster]

Yikes, that’s really tough,kim22

[kim22]

C is going to be my handful. He’s 10 months and just this week he has opened the gate on the steps, climbed out of the exersaucer, pushed his ride on elephant to the couch and used it to climb up, sat on the coffee table, and takes the tray off the high chair while sitting in it. He laughs in my face when I correct him.

[lahdeedah]

I’m sorry your having some tough days jewels. I hope something gives and you can relax a little in some aspect of your life.

[dapostrophe]

jewels Sorry things are rough with your H right now. We are here if you need us

I Was just thinking this the other day.  He leaves Thursday and as much as it's a stress on me being alone with the kids when he's OOT, I'm honestly looking forward to it.

He was such a good newborn sleeper from birth until like 7 months. I had to get him out of my room because I distracted him but now that he’s with T, I’m always grabbing him so he doesn’t wake T up. I may need to temporarily move T in with one of the other kids and sleep train C. For s tired kid, he sure is happy during the day at least.

[jewels]

kim22, wow! Climbed out of an exersaucer at 10 months?!? How is that even possible!! You better sign C up for Gymnastics ASAP... I think he has some serious skills!

[kim22]

jewels I’m sorry for the rough time you are having.

I know it sucks but it sounds like it's time.

I guess it was more of a fall out. He’s has learned if he leans really far forward, he comes out. Lucky the dog lays right next to him and he landed on her. I was cleaning a closet 2 feet away when he did it. I’m sad I can no longer use the exersaucer, it was nice being able to contain him so I could cook and stuff.

Is T a light sleeper? I mived Theo in with his older brother at 6 months and just moved Bea in with Evelyn and I am always surprised what the older kids can sleep through.

Hi hi - 3 classes done🙌, phew! My mom was over and I has to get her to a bus downtown to get to my sister's. She wanted to Uber and I somehow agreed to a pool express which resulted in us running a block and a half with both kids and a suitcase to catch her ride, such a cluster. And then n refused to cooperate at dropoff and I legit almost dropped her while carrying sodas for stock the lounge...a mom and a teacher saved me but I was so flustered I couldn't even talk bc I was sure I was going to cry. Thankfully it was a good friend and js teacher, but still super embarrassing.

Now waiting not so patiently for pricing on the house updates. I am ready to get this over with and move in.

[mwhip]

tallb Don't be embarrassed. We have all been there! Evie won't carry shit, while I have 62 bags on my arms, trying to get in and out of the house. All us moms get it and have been in the same position.

Yes! We have said we would establish some sort of blind trust or LLC (or whatever the correct legal term is) so we could claim the money anonymously. And yes, after that the first call would be to our financial planner. 

This reminds me to text mH and make sure he bought tickets!

I bought PowerBall and Mega Millions on my way home from work last night.  I may get more at lunch today.  H is travelling to western KS today and I told him to stop at all the small gas stations and buy some.  Those places seem to be the winners!

Ha! My problem is the opposite, my kids want to carry ALL the things, which means we have to walk at approximately .0001 mph (:pointy-eye thing: at C). 

tallb Don't sweat it, last Monday I was *that mom* running late with both kids (C fighting to carry her backpack AND lunchbox, which she had removed from the backpack) and a tray with two quiches that I needed to drop off at the meeting I wasn't attending. A sweet mom in my MOPS group saw me struggling and swooped in to rescue the quiches and dropped them off for me. Bless her.
