I don't have much, but figured we needed a fresh thread for the month.
Anyone making (have) big plans for the holiday weekend? I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to take Friday off. No one will be at work and my sister is potentially coming for the weekend. I suppose I need to decide at some point.
I don't want to jinx myself, but DD has had 2 pretty good nights of sleep in a row. I need them to continue for my sanity.

I'm off on the 4th but we have to submit numbers to our parent company so may have to work a little. We are going to a parade in the morning and maybe the pool in the afternoon.
We work 1/2 days on fridays in the summer so I need to come in but have a massage and facial scheduled for the afternoon.
I'm off monday because I'm going to the NKOTB concert sunday night with friends in another city.

They were in Long Island last night and they are playing in jersey tomorrow. I really want to go to the jersey show but it’s not looking good. All things considered, I should not be upset about not seeing them tomorrow. I have seen them about 7 times in the last 8 years. 😬 |

I will likely be busy for the 4th.
TW: illness and family death
I don’t want to drag the thread down but I posted it on my old bmb and realize I didn’t here. My grandmother is dying. 3 weeks ago she was diagnosed with leukemia. She is 90 so she decided to not go ahead with treatment because it would only extend her life by a few weeks or maybe a month and she would be very very sick. Well she is deteriorating pretty rapidly and it’s basically any moment now. Hospice checked in on her this morning and they said her heart rate is slowing and her breathing is super labored. They said probably no more than 24-48 hours left.
My 4th will probably be spent at a funeral. If not my sister is having a bbq because my niece and my brother are coming up from Florida and Tennessee.
End TW.

Thank you. She passed away about an hour or so ago. I am glad she isn’t sick anymore. |

Thanks everyone. The positive that is coming out of all of this: my sister and brother are coming from out of state. I haven’t seen them in a long time.

So sorry for your loss marygracerichWe are all suffering from a round of stomach flu. I hope we are all healthy tomorrow but it's not likely. This is a neverending illness. I had to do final grading for SNHU while miserable. It was....awesome. DS1 is feeling better today. I should have sent him to daycare but since he had diarrhea before bed last night I didn't want to risk it. DS2 woke up this morning with a 102.8 fever. Zofran was my BFF yesterday. Hoping to do the parade tomorrow morning and then go to the lake. |

Happy 4th of July!
I’m Canadian so I had the 1st off. It was a great long weekend. I bought the baby a bunch of shorts a month or two ago and they are all still a bit too big. So I pulled out the ones from last summer (most are 6 months) and the majority of them still fit! They are probably a bit too short but at least they aren’t falling down.

Hope everyone had a great 4th! Hope you’re all feeling better jessijeanI think the baby passed his pinkeye onto DS1. Luckily we have eye drops already and we planned a low key weekend of just hanging out with my parents and my brother who is in town visiting. |

Hi! I am sorry I have been super MIA. I had a ton of family in from other states for grandmothers funeral. Between that and moving and unpacking, the last week and a half have been crazy hectic. I am happy things are finally settling down for me.
Right now G is at school and the baby is playing. His is really loving all of the extra space in the new house.

Hi. I’m struggling with life RN. ST did not? Is not? Going well. O would scream for hours and then DD1 wakes up and is in our bed all night kicking us both. So for everyone else's sanity... I'm back to being up with her most of the time. She's also basically a little leech. E would play by herself at this age even just a little bit god forbid I set her down and pee, I get screamed at. I'm really, really tired of the screaming. All of that screaming has basically put me in a bad place mentally so to speak. I'm really struggling right now. Work is also really stressful and overwhelming because we're understaffed and also keep getting more work. But I got some pics of the girls and I done and theyre amazing.     |

Lt for the pics sunfrogger I am sorry you struggling. So far July can gtfo of here. This. sunfrogger (( marygracerich)) I'm riding the struggle bus too. Work sucks. I've been looking for a while with no real luck. I got blown off for a scheduled phone interview last week, but the latest follow-up is that they "got caught up in other stuff, but want to reschedule with me this week." We'll see where that goes. DD's sleep has been crap. I feel like the boy who cried wolf with teething her canines though (mom who cried teeth?). We're hemorrhaging money with the house this year, seems like every month there's something new that breaks. |

See I really like my job. I'm just dealing with a business partner who is very untrained and very rough around the edges. My work is customer facing but still support work and she's the Account Manager... And it's frequently embarrassing to be on the phone with her.

sunfrogger I get it completely. H is so much more high needs than DS1 was at that age. I can’t turn my back for 2 seconds or he’s into something or he’s melting down because he wants to be held but not snuggled. He still ha yet to outgrow the witching hour at 6 o’clock every night. Add in top if that I’m working 10-12 hour days (work my normal at work and then get back on the pc when I put the kids to bed) for the foreseeable future I’m burnt out.

DD got sent home with HFM today. I'm really hoping it's a mild case.
