We converted the crib saturday to the toddler bed scenario. Its going so-so. She is going to sleep in it but ended up in my bed every night, ugh. All random times too of course. Woof...Now it will be dealing with that annoying habit too but some nights I'm so effin tired I just don't have it in me to fight it. Why can't kids just enjoy sleep? Well at least mine! I know some probably do, Lol! We also got new tires like a month ago for our SUV which were not cheap and yesterday there was a giant slit in one of them...Like we hit nothing and it looks like the tire just split so they better warranty this because I will be bullshit if we are on the hook to replace it. I'm hoping its a defect! addymac, how is your time alone going?? I hope you are relaxing and enjoyed sleeping alllllll night! Yay

Js heat is broken, my dad tried to fix it, no go, so he has a space heater in there. He would be touching it constantly if he could get out of bed and so would have no heat. Im all for switching it up in the spring though. I hope sleep gets better.

My big kid turns 5 tomorrow, and it’s the first time I’m throwing him a big party. If all of his classmates we invited come we’ll have like, 40 people in our house on Saturday. Then I’m also hosting Thanksgiving next week. I’ve been running around doing house projects, cleaning, etc bc a handful of people are also staying here all weekend, and MIL will be here for a week.
I think I maybe need to start potty training L bc she keeps getting herself completely undressed, diaper and all. But that does not sound like a fun prospect during holiday season.

I’m frustrated Maria won’t poop in the potty. I know I just need to wait for her to be ready. It’s just the most exiting thing about potty training. No more poopy diapers At least you are halfway there, silver lining? I’m too lazy to PT right now.

No more poopy diapers Just keep in mind it’s really early to be PT’d. I feel like she’s the only one of A17 that is, so I’d try to forget about it right now.

Hi all!
FL was ok - weather SUCKED but it was nice to be in a new environment for the most part. Coming back early has been amazing. Like I miss him but I’m okay. I almost wish they were away for longer LOL. They come back tomorrow and I’m sad I only have one more night of STTN and sleeping in tomorrow. Who woulda thunk? It also helps that he has no interest in FaceTiming with me every time I try to talk to him because he’s too busy having fun LOL.
My last alone night is tonight so I got sushi and beer and am catching up on some bad tv (greys). Going to go to bed soon and sleep in as late as I can.
His sleep is still total shit and we are thinking of getting rid of his toddler bed and set the futon up as a full-size bed for him. Where do I buy child designed full sized sheets? I was going to go for Thomas bedsheets but that is proving impossible.

D1 has a full size bed and I have had good luck at Homegoods or even Amazon should have full size kids sheets. I'm sorry for the sucky sleep, M is a royal PITA too and is now ending up in our bed every night. I"m SOoooooooo over it!

I feel so #new but my kids both have never dealt with diarrhea bugs before. When should you be concerned? No fever but going complete water and it’s been yellow so now I’m paranoid it’s something like a parasite lol

No fever but going complete water and it’s been yellow so now I’m paranoid it’s something like a parasite lol The doctor usually tells me to call if J has bad diarrhea for over 24 hours but usually will just tell me to give him pedialite so he doesnt get dehydrated that after 2 to 3 days they want to see us.

So J has a stomach bug. No fever. Threw up all over the table at dinner last night and this morning. Has thrown up all over both of us twice and had diarrhea so today has been fun especially since DH has been on the road all day. Ive done laundry 3 times, and j and i have bathed twice. I feel like we both just need to go to bed.

Thanks, it stopped today, she hasn’t gone at all so 🤞 I think we are good! D1 on the other hand has coughed nonstop all day ugh. I feel bad and hope it’s not turning into more. No fever thankfully. Obligatory fuck winter!

Oh god king26 that is awful. I’m so sorry. Ns left eyelid is swelling up and I can’t figure out why. we gave allergy meds but it’s still slowly swelling. My anxiety is in overdrive even though logically I know it’s not a huge deal. He had an awful night of being up screaming not wanting to lay down and go to bed. It was exhausting, esp since I got home from work at 12am.

I’m so sorry king26, I hope today is the end of it! I’m sorry about N’s eye addymac, I can totally relate to your anxiety. Mine goes in overdrive too when my kids are sick, especially with fevers. Like logically I know a fever is not necessary bad in kids and they get them to fight viruses sometimes and doesn’t always mean infection but D1 spikes really high fevers MOTN and I freak and worry all night ugh.

Of course right after I posted yesterday, D1 spiked a fever and then high MOTN so I slept like shit because anxiety. It’s so strange because now today she is sneezing eleventy times and cough is much less than yesterday. Her temp is creeping back up though. It’s so hard to gage with her because she spikes high temps in general from viruses but also pneumonia so I never know what to think.

Oh and M pulled her usual PITA antics going to bed, fell asleep on me then put her in where she screamed “no night nights”. I told her I had to check on D1 and I would be back in a minute so she asked if I would leave the door open. She ended up falling asleep and never saw her again till 7:00 this morning 😂🙌 she hasn’t slept in her room through the night in well over a week. I need this to be a regular occurrence

My gosh what is with these kids?! I hope everyone gets a reprieve of the sickness and sleeplessness.
We started slowly sleep training but he is resistant to motn sleep training (duh) and DH is too bc he’s so tired. Which ugh but also I get. I’m hoping we can do bedtime sleep training and then transition to motn sleep training and nap time training I’m going to start again tomorrow. It’s just exhausting ya know. And in two weeks DH starts two months of awful long rotations so while I was hoping I could get the training done by then, neither of them seem to be on bored.
His eyelid has stayed swollen but seems steady so unless it’s worse tomorrow I hope it will just resolve. He burned his hand helping us flip pancakes on Saturday - little burn, nothing serious, of course he wailed, but he recovered fairly Quickly and it hadn’t stopped him from wanting to help in the kitchen 😒 lol but DH is like panicked at him helping. I told him 🤷🏻♀️ He will learn to stay more away from the stove what else can we do but warn and teach him? But between his eye and his little burn my nanny is going to freak on Tuesday 🤣
