I have not yet started my web search for this so I might have an answer in five minutes from now but I thought I’d ask the hive mind first.
Does anyone have a dangly charm bracelet for your kids that you can choose the charms?

Omg tgrimes...this is ridiculous. I can't believe you are dealing with such ding dongs.

Having your wisdom teeth pulled. Will you be knocked out? I hope you're off work for a few days!

It’s just the top two. My bottom ones were taken out when I was eight. I have to drive myself home so no good drugs for me. I only took today off.

[yummeecookee]

Omg to ppl driving after wisdom teeth removal! 😮

[wineallthetime]

Lol at tgrimes all nonchalantly, "Oh I'm just going to run up to the dentist and have some wisdom teeth pulled like no big deal".

[trtlcrzy]

Hey. H finally has her play date today. They should be here to pick her up shortly. I spent literally the entire morning cleaning up my living room and kitchen. I need to invite people over more so I keep it clean like this, lol. It’s rainy outside, which is a bummer. It’s supposed to be nice starting tomorrow for a few days at least.

Good luck at the dentist tgrimes. I was knocked out when I got my wisdom teeth removed, and would do it that way again if I had to do it again.

Hello!

Busy morning here. My car is acting up so we dropped it off this a.m. at a Volvo specialist. I started googling online about the issue and am now worried/pretty sure we are going to be out about $2K. I freaking hate car maintenance.

So I have DH's car but we are just hanging out around the house so I can catch up on laundry and housework. I did get dental appointments made for all 3 of us so progress there. Also, we are going to move forward with an eval for B's speech, so I researched SLPs in the area and we have that ball rolling.

good luck today tgrimes . That does not sound delightful.

I get so much anxiety when dealing w car issues flamingo! I hope it’s nothing too costly.

I had a fun night out last night. I met my sister at the mall for lunch today but C just kept falling asleep in the stroller (just after a 2 hour nap) and looks super sad so I left early and now he’s sleeping on me. His temp is 99.4 so not super high but something is off. I so desperately need to grocery shop but can’t get a pick up slot for today and can’t drag this baby out again.

Morning.

Mr Vino had extreme pains yesterday and we spent the evening at the after hours clinic, he thought it was a pulled muscle. Went to the base hospital this morning, got blood, urine tests and an xray and it looks like he has kidney stones. He's heading to another hospital with a referral to find out his options. Poor guy is in so much pain, but I had a laugh out loud giggle yesterday cause he was mimicking the sounds and movements of my labours with the kids, it was interesting to be on the other side. When I burst out laughing and explained why he started to laugh as well, i probably would have thrown something at me.

[nam2013]

tgrimes oh my goodness what dimwits are you dealing with!!!

vino ouch!!! Poor mr vino! Hope it gets resolved soon.

[klong11]

Working on getting a reimbursement form when my transmission/shifter cable broke on my car. Apparently they have now recalled them, so I can get reimbursed. Their website is, of course, not working.

[wineallthetime]

vino, ouch! Poor, Mr. Vino!

The lab couldn’t do the testing on his tube because they said it wasn’t in a proper container. 🙄

Oh for fucks sake. What kind of amateurs are we working with here. Whose ass do I need to beat?

This.

AFM, just trying to work myself and kiddos back into a routine after having been away on back to back trips.
Amazingly, B’s face is starting to look better. I cancelled her appt w the ophthalmologist bc she’s been able to close her eye again. I’m hopeful everything will look back to normal in a few weeks. We have 3 weeks left on the abx.

Good news!

This. I chose to be put to sleep for mine. It was easy peasy and Mh had to drive.

[lahdeedah]

Hi! Back to work today. It’s busy and I have to catch up on emails and what not. Where are you 5pm?!

[vino]

I'm glad B is doing better yummeecookee!

Good luck with your teeth today tgrimes, hopefully the recovery isnt too bad.

[jewels]

Oh no mr vino!

kim22 were you in the path of all the tornado warnings last night? We had a bunch and my phone started going crazy, I got worried and I thought I was going to have to wake the kids up to go to the basement. Then MH started texting me that I needed to do it right away! (part of his job is dealing with weather ops and plans for weather emergencies so he gets every notification on his phone). I then realized S fell asleep at the foot of his bed for some reason, which is literally under the window. So I went in and just moved him to the other side of the bed (he has a giant double bed) and then was watching every single news channel and looking at every site to see if I ahd to run tot he basement.

Fortunately it passed over us and I never had to wake the boys. A few towns not far from me had some significant damage.

We are in Jersey... this is not supposed to be tornado country... and this is the 2nd warning in my county in the past week!

[tgrimes]

Poor Mr vino.

MH has had kidney stones before and it’s a little funny to hear them moaning.

[guster]

Poor mr. vino. Hope things heal quickly and the stones can dissolve/pass on their own.

[tgrimes]

I’m home on the couch with gauze in my mouth. They gave me a prescription for amoxicillin so now 75% of my house is on antibiotics. The pharmacy is making a fortune off my family.

I’m seeing things for this afternoon that say heavy thunderstorms with hail and gusty winds. I feel like it’s been happening more often than not.

Also, paging joelies, is the rubber duck thing big in your town? By the time next weekend rolls around we will have been to three separate towns’ duck festivals.

I know. My husband typically deals with this stuff and doesn't even tell me how much it costs b/c it just stresses me out...I shouldn't have googled  

Good (?) news is that the guy just called and it looks like it'll only be $7-800, ha, and they're going to do my oil change, tire rotation, etc. while they have it so I should be fine for awhile.

[flamingo]

wow tgrimes that was fast!

Sorry for your H, vino. I've never had kidney stones but I hear they are just miserable.

[guster]

flamingo, good luck with the SLP search. Can your sister pint you toward anyone in the area?

[yummeecookee]

I hope those stones pass soon for yh vino. I always hear how awfully painful they are. 😬

Our pedi, who I love, has 3 she recommends, and one is literally right around the corner from us, so I’m going with that one, haha.

My sister is actually the one who pointed out a couple things I had noticed, but until then I guess didn’t think were a big deal at his age. He’s completely intelligible but he makes a couple consistent errors (that likely go back to the tongue-tie) that I am hoping we can nip in the bud.

[joelies]

guster - We definitely see the ducks everywhere, we've managed to avoid them up until now. I'm sure with the kids getting into the school system, it's only a matter of time...

[kim22]

jewels no tornado watch here yesterday but lots of lightening. Lucky for me I was happily drinking margaritas with my new friends at a Cuban restaurant for the entire time.

vino I’d have a 5th c-section before I’d have another kidney stone. Hope Mr. Vino gets rid of them quickly.

[kim22]

guster what is the duck festival?
