June 24th Randoms

[goldenlove]

It's a new week. What's going on with everyone?

[tgrimes]

I'm at work. SSDD.

I finished Call the Midwife and now I think I'll start on Schitt's Creek.

[goldenlove]

There's a guy at work who wouldn't stop asking me questions last week and now he messaged me this morning asking if he could call me. I'm ignoring him right now. I'm not in the mood for that shit.

[danib]

Just home from the gym and making lunch. Not much happening today other than mountains of laundry.

[elle]

My H is about to leave to go to the airport. He'll be in Ontario until late Thursday for this big project he's been working on for the past few months. I'll be so glad when it's over.

And I'm carrying so much tension in my head and neck, you can feel the lumps of tense muscle around my temple, ugh, that it's making my jaw and ear and teeth on the right side of my face ache. Which is making me freak out that theres something wrong with my teeth and that I need to see a dentist ASAP, which I do as I'm due for a check up, but it can certainly wait until Friday when he's back. Ugh this pregnancy has really ratcheted up my anxiety and I immediately go to worst case scenarios for everything. And I only slept about an hour last night due to all of the aforementioned.

Happy Monday? 😒

[tgrimes]

elle Augh. I'm sorry.

[starbuck]

elle I'm sorry. I hope you feel better. Don't do anything you don't have to today! Just try to relax.

My dad is having surgery today. I got in an argument over text with my mother about it and now she's not speaking to me.

She told my sister about the surgery Friday but she didn't know what the surgery was for so I sent my mother a text asking about it. She said it was for his drooping eye issue from the bells palsey. Then she sends another text saying she told me about it a month ago. Then another one that said "Nice that you can remember."

I got furious. She can fuck right off with that bullshit.

I told her that she mentioned several months ago he was going to need surgery but they were having issues scheduling because of insurance approval, so no, she didn't tell me he was having surgery Monday. Then my sister tells me that he has a spot on his brain that she apparently knew about 2 months ago and he may need a biopsy. Nice that you can tell us about that.

Bitch.

Both my sister and I have tried texting and calling her today and she's not responding.

[goldenlove]

*hugs* elle. I agree, try to take a quiet day to yourself.

[goldenlove]

Damn tgrimes. I know you said you don't get along with her. I'm sorry she's being that way and hope his surgery goes well.

I usually get along with her (i just don't like her) because I'm the peacekeeper and keep my mouth shut.  But I chose not to do that this time.  My sister didn't believe me that I had text her what i did so I had to send her screenshots to prove it.  Lol.

[kleigh]

tgrimes Well damn she doesn’t have to be nasty. And also, very nice she mentioned the discovery. One of my sisters (that I don’t talk to) is like this. Toxic. And I’m sorry about this, as well as the skydiving plane accident - I hadn’t heard until I read your post. I want to understand more why they couldn’t jump out if they had chutes on, I know it said bc they hadn’t ascended enough but given the alternative I want to understand why they wouldn’t have tried? I’m gonna end up downs rabbit hole later.

elle That sounds painful!!! Good luck this week!! I hope A is the best behaved little angel.

goldenlove I am also presently ignoring a coworkers email. I just can’t deal with the hyperactivity of the guy. He is so over the top the only way to deal with it is ignore ignore ignore and then respond in waves. Otherwise it’d be 24/7 tennis match back and forth.

[kleigh]

Hi, here at work. Monday’s are my short day so I’ll be leaving at 2:30 which is actually more stressful than a normal day bc I’m not technically off the clock, I’m just not in front of a computer unless I sign on at home.

I might just bring the kids out and let them play in the sprinkler or with their scooters that our neighbor gave them this weekend.

We’re currently dealing with some behavior challenges from AB. I’m hoping is just a phase, and he’s had a HUUGE leap with vocabulary and talking/sentences/imagination... reading and spelling (legitimate spelling and reading), etc.. so I’m trying to give him a break but, not sure at what point I call the pedi. He refuses to feed himself or drink himself, you have to do t for him. He can do it, rarely he will “slip up” and do it (like if i leave his cup on their kids activity table or overnight), but 98% of the time he’ll just cry and cry and cry). Normal?

[tgrimes]

kleigh I believe shortly after it took off the plane flipped upside down and crashed. It didn't even clear the airfield so I don't think there was time to do anything.

[elle]

Thanks everyone. I'm trying to do as little as possible today. There may or may not be Daniel Tiger on the TV right now.

tgrimes, I'm so sorry. How difficult for you and your sister.

[Cheshie6]

tgrimes, I'm sorry! My parents still saw us as kids and didn't share information with us, I know that can suck.
elle, Is a pool an option? Where you can float and take the tension off your limbs?


We have having a lazy day! L slept till 9am!?! Tomorrow starts Summer Schedule for us. Gymnastics is tomorrow, and I only work Tues, Wed, Thurs afternoons. which will be nice. The only mornings will be for L's speech, playgroup and swim lessons. Summer is usually light and therefore shouldn't be so crazy.

[danib]

kleigh normal. I've learned to expect a regression in a random area any time there is a leap in another area. Usually doesn't last long.
Also, he's not gonna starve himself, so while I'd probably help a bit for my own sanity (quiet), I definitely wouldn't be at it constantly.

That's not what upset me. She claims she told me, hence the 'nice you can remember' comment. That's what pissed me off.

Thank you for this. He’s doing it right now it’s mini m&ms. Like buddy this is a treat, eat up or I’m taking them. Specifically demanding I feed him individual colors one at a time “orange orange orange”.

🙄 ok pal sure

[waitwhat]

tgrimes I’m sorry. That’s terrible. I hope the surgery goes well!

I’m sorry elle. Hang in there and enjoy a quiet day if you can. Let Daniel the tiger do some parenting. We’ve all been there.

[waitwhat]

B had his graduation today! It was so cute. They sang songs and B was v v v unimpressed so he just sat there. But when they called each kid up he got right up and waved like he was super proud. It was adorable. Then, they played a 10 minute slideshow of the year and the songs they chose were total tearjerkers (I hope you dance). I may or may not have cried. I also got a whole folder of all his artwork through the year.

One more day of school then it’s officially summer. I’m sort of starting to go crazy thinking of how I’m going to entertain 2 high energy toddlers all day, EVERY DAY, for the next 2 months 🤪

I'm laughing at this. Freaking kids man 😂

MH and his dad spent almost the entire weekend at Yankee Stadium and didn't wear any sunscreen. He looks like a lobster, except the burn is way worse on his left side. So like the left half of his neck is red and the right is normal. So I guess a strange human-lobster hybrid.

And J got sent home from school with a fever. Mission is to get them to bed early tonight.

you’ve found me

*waves at hangry*

I went to bed early last night but woke up after 7 hours of sleep anyway. Wtf body, I could have used some extra to make up for no sleep the night before. The good news is that my ear, jaw, teeth no longer ache so badly. It feels tender but not horribly sore if that makes sense. What is funny is that at first when I woke up I couldn't remember what was bothering me so much yesterday. An obvious improvement. Ha.

My H is presenting his portion of the huge project today, please send him all your good thoughts.

Both of the kids have been incredibly whiny, crying messes lately. H has 4 teeth coming in so I'll give him a pass. No idea what M's issue is.

Feeding off of H's energy? Regardless of the reason, what a pita. I'm sorry.
