I have a headache, hoping the shower helps chase it away. We have a follow up appointment with M's pediatrician for his concussion. He's been cranky after daycare because he's tired, so this could be fun. Taking all the snacks.

OMG last night was tough. J went to sleep around 8:30 with me sitting in the rocker in his room. Then woke up at 10:30 and we battled until 12:30. Eventually he fell asleep in his bed as long as I had the door open. He's still sleeping now but I'm sure he'll be up any second since I just typed that.

Oh and I tried to just shut him in the room but then he started scaling the dresser and would step on his toddler bed and try to climb over the side. Like he knew if he did something dangerous I would come in. WTF kid?

Sooo happy tapa is back up!! I hate mobile so I haven't been around the past couple of days.
BIL and his family are coming for the weekend, but not getting here till after midnight. I'm really hoping their arrival doesn't wake up my kids. DS will be sleeping in his pnp in DDs room, so... Hopefully that goes better than expected. Finishing up a little cleaning/laundry today.

Hello new friends! I have not forgotten you, just not been around APTM much lately. Work is insane and that's when I do most of my interneting. I have to avoid this place like the plague today or I'll get sucked into FFFC and not get any work done.

Peekaru, yea i don't think the inlaws are making it down this weekend. the round trip flight on allegiant was like $400 total for 2 people. 1 person, 1 round trip right now is about $700. I think they will just reschedule and come down at the end of the month to hang out. But from what i heard, the pilots are striking and planned it specifically for the holiday weekend. Sucks.

How is O Betweenthelines? I was going to complain about putting E to bed last night, but I now am backing away slowly.

I'm eating cinnamon toast crunch because I am an adult.
I didn't sleep great because I was wound up from fighting with h, so of course ds slept through the night. He's still coughing but he's in better spirits today, and no fever. He probably would've been fine to go to school, but whatever.

We are building blanket forts with the furniture today. It's giving my APTM and coffee time.

Happy friday! DH and I stayed up a bit late last night and then both girls were waking up randomly throughout the night. I think teething may be the culprit for each. Ugh. All the coffee please.
Having a lazy day here today then tonight our town is setting off fireworks at the lakefront park down the street from us. DH is going to stay with the girls (who will be asleep by then anyway) and DS and I are going to walk over to the festivities. Should be a fun night!

nenarene , i was wondering where you went. i was thisclose to sending out a gif search party. That would totally work, hahaha. I spent over an hour on the phone with my boyfriend last night sending each other gif's through text. We were talking on the speaker phone and texting each other, haha. The weirdest one was two butt cheeks french kissing each other.

I just made a ped appointment for 10:40. Just to make sure it's not strep or anything. We are supposed to have some friends over tomorrow and they have a kid, so as long as ds is fever free today and negative for whatever, I'm not canceling any plans tomorrow.

J will not stay in bed. He says he's afraid. Of the dark, of the trees, of the sound of fireworks, of the sound of me doing the dishes, everything. He has been up several times each night for the past several nights. It's driving me bonkers. How terrible a mom would I be if I bribed him to stay in bed instead of addressing the fears?

joi922, is he your older one? A, the 4 yo, doesn't stay in her bed. I've spoken about it in the past. We bribe. "if you sleep in your bed all night, for the next few nights, we will go get donuts on Friday." #noshame

joi922, DS too. One thing I found helps it to read a really involved story at night before bed. He goes to bed so much quicker if his mind is otherwise occupied. We are reading a bit of Harry Potter every night (although maybe something milder might be better for a scared kid lol). And I have also bribed him. I started saying, if you get through tonight by yourself, I will sleep in here tomorrow. Then I started to stretch the days he's on his own. Now we are somewhere around every 4-5 days he asks me to sleep in there. The once I discovered the book thing, things have been so so so much better. It has to be kind of a long story, so he is invested and also tires out from it.

Betweenthelines LT for cinnamon toast crunch. O is adorable. I woke up feeling extremely dizzy/light-headed/off balance. Like I couldn't stand up straight without falling over. It was like I was drunk. But otherwise I don't feel sick. It's freaking me out a bit. I am borderline hypoglycaemic so I had a granola bar, but it didn't seem to make a difference. I'm wondering if it's something weird with my ears because I've had a cold?

avocadotoast, sounds like your equilibrium is off - vertigo almost. I'd be calling a doctor honestly.
