Interviewing a potential new sitter today. So I'm running around like a mad woman trying to clean my house. It's always messy after the weekend (I don't get much cleaning done on work days), but add in sicknesses and well things get bad lol. As long as I can get it semi-presentable I'll be happy. H is still sick (coughing and sooking) but his fever seems to be gone and no more puking. I woke up Friday with really and chest pain. It still hurts so I'm struggling to get things done as quickly as usual. No clue what I did to myself, must have twisted in my sleep or something.

We did so much yard work yesterday and I’m paying for it today. My legs and lower back are so sore! The yard looks amazing but I think I over did it. We have new mulch coming soon so we were prepping for that.

Not much going on this week.
Potluck at work tomorrow and a teammates birthday on Friday. Other than that just a regular week. I'm dragging ass today. I wish weekends were longer than 2 days.

If your friends and family busted their asses for you for 2 days, what kind of gift would you give them? We're thinking of giving something big especially to a couple of them who were over all day. They literally saved us thousands of dollars so we can splurge a bit.

goldenlove, I second the fancy restaurant gift card and wine. Allergist went well today! She thinks all will be fine with baked in dairy and eggs. Cooked at at least 350° for 30 minutes. I may wait till DH gets home before introducing them. I still have to worry about icing as many contain egg whites. Obviously no milk and no eggs for breakfast. She also thinks we have a bad cold and not allergies causing our noses to run and cough! She said a bad one has been going around. I told her I work with preschoolers in the pool and she said, that probably did it! Lol Otherwise, we went to a park after the appointment so that he didn’t have to sit in the car for another 1.5 hours with no fun! Nothing going on for the day! Nobody has signed up for pre-team so I may have reduced hours! My boss said she’ll rework stuff to give me more if I would like.

When I was in the hospital with my hip and DH was offshore, my mom used her vacation time to stay with me and MIL took C for the entire 2 weeks. We gave them restaurant gift cards as a thank you.

It's cold* and rainy today and I'm loving it. I opened the windows so I could hear the rain and smell the petrichor, I adore that smell.
My H had to get up at 4 this morning to catch a flight, which of course woke me up. Unsurprisingly, I'm tired. I think I'm going to order pizza for dinner tonight because I don't feel like cooking plus we never order pizza since my H has celiac and most places can't guarantee their gf pizza is free from cross contamination.
*relative, obviously, but low 60's is chilly for this area, especially this time of year

Add me to the dragging ass Monday group and taking the easy way out for dinner with my H out of town.
Also E just spent about an hour to fall asleep. I was asleep within 5 minutes of crawling in. I know she still needs a nap but it really cuts into my alone time at night.

The speech therapist cancelled today because she’s not feeling well. So we are hanging out at home. It’s rainy and cold so we are stuck in the house.
Did I mention that my H applied for a management job in his company? Well he got it and he starts in a few weeks. He’s taking off from Thursday this week and all of next week! We have a lot of things we want to do around the house (clean out the garage, finish the mudroom, assess the playground damage, etc) and also some day stuff planned for the kids (museum and zoo). I’m excited! Also because I don’t have to lug both kids to school drop off and pickup!

I went in M's room to wake her up this morning. I got into bed with her to snuggle and she starts whining and moaning for me to move. I told her I was just trying to get my hugs in for today and she said, "I give you hugs all the time so get off."
Oh.

Similarly, I went into J’s room to get him this morning because he was awake but just laying down in his crib and I said “hiii!” And he goes “no mommy get out”.

tgrimes, I’m not ready for these kids to not cuddle with us us! I still have a cough and my nose has been clogged for days otherwise, I’m not as sore! L seems to be on the down swing. He has the cough and the runny nose and he’s opting to lay down. Lay on the couch, lay on the floor, not sit but lay!?! He’s also very itchy but no fever.

Congrats mr waitwhat!! Is this going to have any family benefits (outside of an expected pay increase)? When my H was promoted years ago he was actually working less late nights bc the people under him were doing the dirty work (wish I could say that was still true today; he’s been promoted again since then and now stays late more, booo).

When my H was promoted years ago he was actually working less late nights bc the people under him were doing the dirty work (wish I could say that was still true today; he’s been promoted again since then and now stays late more, booo). His hours should be significantly better! Before, he worked til 5 with a day or two rotating with his other coworkers until 6pm but he won’t be expected to do the 6pm shift. And, because he’s primary focus will not be selling like it was previously, he shouldn’t need to be working from home at night and on the weekends like he usually does. I mean, when he takes a half day he comes home and plugs his laptop in and makes calls/quotes etc. so it’s basically working from home. Now he should be able to relax more. But he’s a workaholic so we’ll see how this all unfolds.

It's cold and rainy here too so I don't want to do anything. Feeling very lazy. I need to go to the copy shop and maybe Barnes and Noble.
So I realized last week that M knows all his colors. We spent teach him directly so thanks YouTube. Today I found out he also can identify numbers 1-5. I'm so shocked. Now I have to figure out how to tell what else he knows since he is nonverbal.

That's amazing sarahwithanh. H can have a full blown conversation, but then every single colour is blue.
