I cut open my thumb pretty badly cutting onions yesterday so I have to type with 1 hand. It's much more difficult than I anticipated
H and I decided to decrease screentime for all kids over the week break. The teenagers are in their rooms all the time glued to their screens. It's been.... interesting to say the least
We all went to the library this morning and while the younger boys were playing I had the older ones go find real cookbooks (no internet) and make a dinner plan. Gave them 20$, and had them buy all the ingredients. We had baked mac and cheese and corn. It was edible 😂 AJ loved it lol

Hopefully more will open still. Most districts haven't posted openings yet.

I’m sorry about your hand quinn, but that sounds like a great idea! I actually got DD1 a cookbook and knives for her bday, we need to look through it and pick out a recipe for this weekend.

Ouch, quinn! Hope it heals fast! We have a snow day today - everything is closed, including N's daycare... except H's work is still open (and he has required training) and my training offered an online option and is still going forward. Either way, it's going to cause problems. H insists it will be fine but his boss is an asshole and even though this will be the second time he's ever called out ever, he will use it to make his life difficult. (I fucking hate the hospitality industry.) But if I bail, it's going to cost my company three days worth of training because we won't get reimbursed (today's training is required for the next two days). There's nobody around who isn't dealing with their own kids today that can come over and help and we have no family in the area. I'm considering calling our neighbor and seeing if she would mind coming over when H would have to leave for his training to help wrangle N while I finish up mine. I'll see what H says when he gets back (he ran in to work to take care of a few things but will be back by the time my training starts). I'm pretty pissed at the whole situation right now.

We did the same thing for ds1 for Christmas. The cookbook was a kid’s one from Good Housekeeping and when we were looking through it, Ds1 proclaimed that everything looked “icky”. He’s in a super picky eating phase so I thought this would help but he doesn’t even want to try any of the recipes 🙄

Good morning! C was up bright and early, crying, at 5:30. I think his canines might finally be coming in. We have no plans for today and it’s snowing. Again. Might make a big pot of chicken and rice soup for dinner.

Thanks pootsen - just needed to vent really. H said everything is OK at work... whether that's accurate or he's just saying it to make me feel better... *shruggy guy* I'm on my training and the other mom who is joining remotely doesn't have her mic muted and her kids are being adorable ("I can sit here and watch tv and then you can work!") Mine is having a post-breakfast meltdown. Poor H lol.

We were supposed to get another 6" of snow last night but as the weather person put it a "doughnut of dry air" popped up over us and we only got about 1". The roads were still shitty this morning but much better than if we got 6". We are already close to having the most snow since 1881. Ugh. I am SO over it. We are going to Florida in 2 weeks and it can't come soon enough.
I have been working on this post for over an hour. A bunch of work stuff just came crashing down on my head. I need a drink already.

C had her 15m well check yesterday. She's a hot mess today after the shots. She is also falling off her weight curve. She's dropped from 18th to 12th to 9th and now down to 3rd. She's still steadily hanging out at 88th for height though. We were sent home with a load of pediasure and told to have her drink up and we'd reassess at 18m. Stinker.
I've been in a vortex of phone calls all week. Trying to secure my rehire at a school district, our builder, the bank, and today, daycare and preschools. I finally got H to consider daycare beyond that of the one at his work, thank goodness because everything out by where we plan to build is so much cheaper!

A little different situation for us because of allergies but the nutritionist suggested we add fat into everything so we do olive oil or but you could just put butter on everything to help with weight gain.

That sucks snuff9861, I'm sorry. Sounds like what I had last week pootsen. I hope yours passes as quickly as mine! Congrats blabbermouth! That's a great idea quinn! I can't wait to get H in the kitchen. MH can't cook anything so I am determined to make up for it with my kid. I'm at work but we're leaving at 1:30. Just ate a quick lunch and cake for a coworker's bday. I almost skipped the cake because I didn't want to waste points on it but it was delicious. H is at MIL's today so I will get some kid free time when I get home, hoping to get the house cleaned up.

Ds1's therapy got rescheduled for tomorrow and my mom is back in town so she will stay at our house with ds2. Maybe ds1 and I will go out for a special treat after. It's super gross here. Cold and rainy. Blah.

Scheduling fail. I need to reschedule DD’s 15m next week because DH is getting his wisdom teeth out and DS has his yearly dermatology appointment. I predict her appointment will now not be until...April.
