We are headed to the surgery center for DD1 to get her tonsils and adenoids out. I’m feeling nervous. MIL is home with the baby.

We had a busy weekend as well. I had dinner with a girlfriend on Friday, Saturday we had an event out with some of our neighborhood friends, and then Sunday my H took DS to get fireworks for the 4th.

kam3100 Good luck! I went through that with DD 18 months ago. Make sure to stay on top of the pain meds!

Z was up 3 times and J once. I have a huge Starbucks sitting in front of me and I'm still not sure I'm going to make it through the day. Z seems a lot better this morning though. The rash is almost gone after a couple of doses of Benadryl and his fever broke. Benadryl makes both of my kids crazy. It's right up there with steroids and tamiflu.

kam3100, good luck! FX she's a sleeping angel after anesthesia and not an angry drunk! +1 stay on top of the pain meds and drink drink drink! also be prepared they usually have a relapse in pain on days 5-6-- they will seem to be improving a little and then suddenly get worse, but it's normal.

My childcare for next week just bailed. I'm panicked trying to find someone! Thankfully it's just for the big kid, she's a bit easier than the baby.

Finding suitable childcare is difficult enough without last minute cancellations! She didn't realize she had summer school classes. From 11-2. Ugh. I've mostly pieced together the week. |

Just catching up from the other thread... kam3100, there is someone from my other BMB whose kid slept a ton like that too. I don't think she's ever mentioned any medical issues. I can see why it would make you a bit anxious. I think I would just ask about it at her next well-check. |

So today was a little better at the cabin in the deep woods....and I think I'm starting to figure out H's thought process even if I still want to strangle him and think he's a bit ridiculous.
The men had originally thought they would catch enough fish to feed 18 people on 2 separate nights. Apparently they were struggling to catch enough for 1 night, and H put a ton of pressure and responsibility on himself to catch said fish. As a side note, there is a grocery store 30 min away-we won't starve! He told me last night they wanted to get up early and fish because that would be the best time to catch, which meant I would be on kid duty immediately this morning.
When they got back this morning, he told me they caught enough for 1 meal and now he knew he needed to actually pay his own family some attention now. My private thoughts were both WTF and thank for acknowledging that you have ignored us.
He then said everyone was going to a nearby town and that he would stay here with Charlie so that I could get out. I asked several times what time we were leaving and everyone was non-committal. All of a sudden H busted in and was like it's time to go now! I wanted to nurse Charlie first, and he tried to tell me they were waiting, too bad (I did have pumped milk). I LOL no'ed that and then stormed out after feeding my child.
His dad told me later that his brother and BIL left him at some point last night while fishing and made him mad-which I *think* is why he freaked out about leaving right that moment. He also has little brother syndrome. He looks up to his brother and is a little jealous of BIL and his brother's bond. I think he was trying to prove himself.
This is all compounded by the fact that I have barely seen him since we've been here, so we have had no meaningful communication. Today was also CD 1, which probably doesn't help. Hoping the rest of the week is better and so glad we have just 3 full days left before we start the trek home...

Ugh... doublestuf I hope that the rest of the week goes well. The drama reminds me of why I don't like traveling with a big group. You deserve a nice spa day when you get home! |

Thanks klw! I actually have a spa giftcard from Mother's Day I should use. And yes, large groups are tough. H's family really is pretty great and get along well. But still 18 people, 5 families, is a lot of personalities to juggle. His 3 siblings had children all around the same time. But I realized today that when their kids were this age we did not do these big family vacations and certainly not this far away. We did a beach one when the youngest girls were maybe 3? No one wanted to do such things with toddlers and babies for obvious reasons. It's one of those situations where I don't want to wish time away, but I am jealous of how easy they have it with older kids. |

We usually rent a condo for a week at the beach. We didn't go last year so I definitely want to go this year. I love it and so does DD1. But I know it will be totally different with Haley. Last time, DD1 played for hours by herself in the sand. I sat and read. It was amazing. Haha

And changed 2 poopy diapers. 😐
