It’s been a day. But at least that means the week can only go up from here? What does every one have going on this week?
I decided not to DIY DD2’s bday. The nice people at Etsy are going to cover that one for me. I just don’t have the time or the cares to try and manage it all. I’m also looking at throwing money at a service to come clean the house before the party.

It’s been a Monday here too. H is out of town for work and L is super fussy. My cousin came into town yesterday and shadowed me at work today to see if she likes it, so it was nice to have her around for company and to help me hold L down while I put in his ear drops. He had ear tubes placed last Thursday and he hates the ear drops. HATES THEM.
I am going on my third week of being sick and it’s sucks very much. Finished the abx but I don’t think the sinus infection went away. My head is in so much pain so I’m going to bed while it’s still light out.

After DIY-ing only a portion of L’s party, I think Etsy and a house cleaning service sounds like a grand plan. A house cleaning service in general sounds wonderful. |

It was a long work day but it was my corworks 30th so we went out to lunch and that made the afternoon fly by!
I’m waiting on a few packages this week for Owen’s 1yr pics on Friday, it’s all coming up so quickly!

Hi friends! My gosh, I blinked and it’s March. I’ve been getting nostalgic thinking about a year ago this time, and wanted to come over and say hello (and hopefully hang out more often, again). I honestly feel like I’m just finally getting my head above water - at least one of the kids have been sick since January and it’s been nutty. Leaf 🌱 Ditto to Etsy making the birthday party happen! That’s what it’s there for, right? clementine I’m so sorry about being sick, and L hating the ear drops. How did the tube placement go? M is one ear infection away from a referral to an ENT for tubes (which I’m 99% sure is going to happen). mrsmonogrammed Aww, 1 year pics! I’m still kicking around trying to book a mini session to do one for M. How fun! |

katietopaz it was so quick and easy, especially compared to the laryngeal cleft surgery he had in December. We checked in at 7:30 and were on our way home by 9. The anesthesia is given by mask so no needles and he was cleared to leave as soon as they checked his vitals and he drank something. He was a little sleepy the rest of the day, but didn’t seem to be in pain or extra grouchy. I wouldn’t wish surgery on anyone but I feel like it is the lesser of two evils when compared to nonstop ear infections. If M has to have tubes, it will be no big deal and so much better for him. I’m sorry you guys have been so sick. Can’t watch a break! Hopefully we’re on our way out of this sick season.

katietopaz clementine we are also one ear infection away from a tubes referral. I’m hoping getting DD2 on an allergy med might save us. We had a similar issue with DD1 and I’m glad we waited bc she was 100% fine as soon as spring turned to summer. I’m so glad things went well clementine!! This is akin g me feel better if we Need to go that route

Also. It’s 845am here. I’ve been up since 5 and I just cleaned poop out of the bathtub.
Unimpressed.

DS woke up covered in spots from the waist up. Sooooo guess we have to figure up what's up with that. I'm quite sure it couldn't be heat rash cause the normal heater wasn't in his room and it felt cool when I went in. He did have almond butter yesterday and I don't think he's ever had almonds. 😬

nevertoomanyshoes Thank you! They’re doing pretty well, illness aside. C is doing wonderfully with his SpEd preschool program, and M is as chunky and happy as ever. He turns one on Friday 😭 clementine So glad to hear it was an easy procedure! Tubes wouldn’t be my first choice either, but he’s had three colds since December, and a double ear infection within a week and a half of each one. We have a re-check on Monday to make sure this round of abx took care of this infection - we’ve had to do multiple rounds in the past. It’s just a mess. Leaf 🌱 I’m sorry you’re in a similar boat. I hope an allergy med does the trick! alwayscheese Bummer about the spots. Has he reacted to other nut exposure before?

I've discounted reaction to food because there was never anything new in his diet. This time there was but idk. I tested positive to an allergy to the peach/almond/something else? family but I've never noticed a problem with it. Allergies are so weird. |

We woke up late this morning and J was covered in puke. I forgot to give DD her adhd medicine before school. I’m trying to juggle getting my house ready for my parents to visit, planning J’s birthday party, and remodeling the kids bathroom since DD broke the pipe in her shower. Plus I have a big assignment due next week and I’m trying to get it done before my parents get here. This week I’m definitely feeling like I’m barely staying afloat.

I’m sorry auri. What terrible timing for all of that! Sending you some supermom vibes. alwayscheese hope the rash is better. It sucks not knowing the cause. I probably think at least once a day how much I wish L could just tell me what’s going on with him. Or that babies had little thought bubbles that would pop up like “damn, my teeth hurt” or “that almond butter upset my stomach”. Or “I’m just being grumpy for no reason at all”. |

katietopaz hi! auri i hope this week moves fast and you can get everything you want done. that feeling is the worst where do i sign up for spring break? i kept dd1 home on monday to recover from pink eye/cold and i think we were all pretty excited to get back to routine today. i’m having regrets about sending her to school today - more kids were out sick with pukes on monday and another had the flu.

I've been MIA while off. Now my maternity leave is done and I'm v.v. sad. I've missed being around all the time this week.
N is pretty much walking now and it's so cute!
Also I've been sick since Valentine's. 😭

cornpop leatherpants clementine thank you!!! It was a fun day. We got her a wee baby Stella doll and she loved it. And a vanilla cupcake for dessert--she knew just what to do. 😊

I’m here guys. Barely.
+1 to wanting my own spring break.
Also, we had tubes for dd1 sons ago, but no drops? Maybe ask if they’re necessary if it’s truly a fight?
I’ll offer up that my kid isn’t even getting a bday party. Like it’s pretty much going to be a nonevent. I was ok with it until both my parents were like “well that’s sad.”
Yeah well folks we are selling two houses and buying another. Moving ILs in with us and doing everything else life requires these days. I have nothing left. I quit. Except mom’s can’t quit so....eff it. If I don’t want to I am not doing it. So for now, no bday party bc life is nuts and I need to keep a bit of my sanity. Don’t make me feel bad. Sorry, there’s other stuff but basically people need to stfu.
