Good morning! H and I woke up with a stomach bug. Seriously, my luck can turn around now, thank you Hope everyone and their kiddos are feeling better Ugh no, I hope you guys can get over it quickly and that it doesn’t spread! I went to urgent care today because my sinus/cough symptoms are just getting so much worse. The NP said I have to wait until day 10 before she would prescribe antibiotics. I cried in the parking lot and wanted to say “fuck antibiotic resistance! Just give me meds”. I know her reasoning, and it’s how docs at my clinic practice too, but ugh I’m just so sick of feeling shitty. I want a magic pill dammit.

Sinus stuff is the worst for me so I get it. Maybe try somewhere else, I've never been told I couldn't get antibiotics for a sinus infection if it reached the point where I was in pain. I also understand not jumping to antibiotics (i always try not to) but you know your body and you need relief. I really hope you feel much better in the morning

Last Friday before the 2 bigs go back to school. Having mixed emotions about it, but I’m ready for a bit of a break. Not ready for the mounds of papers and projects that will come home with them.

Is that even a thing or would customs delay it?

Only a few more nights at my parent's house. I need my kids back in their own beds. I slept more with infants, I swear. So tired.

My pcp is a good friend of mine but she’s on maternity leave so I can’t/won’t bother her. This morning I sent a message to the providers covering for her asking for a second opinion and one of the docs sent in some Augmentin for me. Yay!

Hi all! Thanks for the birthday wishes! Sorry I've been MIA, weekends are hands full with N and work's been nuts because our fiscal year ends this month. Sorry for all the sick kiddos! Summer bugs are the worst. Hope everyone is feeling better! N has been so obsessed with Elmo/Sesame Street lately (he points to the TV and asks for "Emmo" all the time; I'm sure the pedi will love to hear that ), so even though he really hasn't shown any inclination towards stuffed animals (only very recently to a stuffed dog BIL got him, and even then not much), I thought he might like a stuffed Elmo. It came last night, so I gave it to him when we got home from DC. As soon as he saw Elmo his face LIT UP. He insisted on bringing Elmo outside after dinner for National Night Out, took him to bed, refused to part with him while I changed him this morning, and I barely got Elmo away from him before we left for DC. I'd say it was a hit lol My C is completely “Melmo” obsessed too. It’s so funny because A was disinterested. We have an Elmo doll that sings the AbCs and A couldn’t have cared less about it. So now it is C’s and it is her best friend. Although she has transitioned to an Abby fan girl recently. She loves her.

cakewench Happy Birthday! jules1614 my brother always liked cookies: Oreos and Chips Ahoy were the most requested non-homemade cookies. thatgolfb A is taking the opposite approach and giving a giant smile, dimples out and saying “no”. Sometimes he puts up one shoulder, head down to that same side and runs off with pure determination in his eyes. Stinker is FAST too. He also won’t stop calling me “dada”, little fart. Hahaha, too cute! DD now sometimes calls him Jason instead of Dad. If he's not listening. Funny, but not cute in public, haha. Omg this is my favorite. 😂

H is taking DD1 up to his parents’ this weekend. It was a little too last minute for C and me to go. But that means I get a weekend with just my little one, the one that naps. 👍

Enjoy!

My neighbor just brought over English muffins, plain and blueberry. They smell so good. A went out to meet her with me and gave her a kiss on the cheek as we were saying goodbye. This kid. So sweet.

Well the cleaners were kind of a let down. They did a terrible job the first time and the person who came back did a better job but I wasn’t blown away. The biggest bummer is I was hoping to convince my H to hire cleaners on a regular basis and this experience turned him off of that idea.
Today we’re headed to the state fair to stuff our faces and then my H is having a huge work party at our house tomorrow. I took Monday off to recover and relax.

I worked on my H for over a year before he agreed. Our lady only comes once a month but it does help. Maybe you can try another service?

Also, a 3 hour nap??? What? E does about 1-1.5 hours. If he slept 2 hours I’d be shocked. But then, he’s not a sleeper so......

What magic is this? I'm lucky if AJ naps for an hour She'd take two naps still if I let her. Don't be fooled by her good napping skills, she's a shit sleeper at night. She woke up four times last night screaming angry, inconsolable screams then was up for the day at 6am.

Jojo naps for an hour and a half typically and on occasion up to 3 hours. It's fine. In bed by 7:30 except the random nights she's up until 9 🥺
We tried getting her to go on the potty today and letting her be bare bum. The morning did. not. go. well. This afternoon went better, but she only peed twice between nap and bed time, right after her nap and before her bath so it wasn't too hard. And I bribed her with ice cream once. But I caught both of her poops and she doesn't mind doing them on the potty so I'm patting myself on the back for that!

H and I need to get away. So we are going on a staycation tonight. We desperately need some time just the 2 of us
Ds3 keeps demanding I tell him what french toast says and my answers are all wrong... 30 mins until the sitter gets here ⏲

H is working this weekend until just after bedtime. I’m having a hard time getting motivated to clean beyond the kitchen and playroom. A keeps taking his clothes and diaper off, apparently he doesn’t want me to clean either. But I was able to start a batch of spaghetti sauce for dinner tonight plus 3 jars that will go in the fridge.

I’m kind of bummed because in a few weeks, I planned DH’s first night away from the kids down in SD. I mentioned my company golf tourney moving to that Sunday. He proposed to his parents that we make a weekend of it, and go to sea world on Saturday. While I’m grateful they are being so flexible to babysit at their small house there. I was really looking forward to a night away from the kids. I might propose to DH that we get a hotel that night. Ridiculous, but I really just want some time to reconnect with him. It’s been a difficult couple of months.
