I can't tell if mh is losing his hearing, or just not listening.

The ENT appt this morning was basically a waste of my time and $50 copay. I knew it probably would be though. She confirmed that our current ENT was doing all the same things that she would and the immunologist was ordering all of the same blood work that she'd recommend. She was very nice and said we'd had quite the workup. It took her 30 minutes to read through all of his file and that didn't include any notes from the ENT since he's not part of their network. Lol. She told me I was doing every right and to just keep it up. She also said MH should see an ENT when we were going through family history stuff. inthekitty |

"oh, she doesn't have school?" no, she doesn't have school then or the following monday. "this is the first I've heard of this."  no, actually, no it isn't.
and don't get me started how every day he asks what "lunch" on the family calendar means. It means Cadence is buying lunch.
"I think we need a key or something to explain that" explain what? I just explained it. It's been the same for the past 4 months since we started using a family calendar. It has never meant anything else. "I think you should write 'buy' next to it" WHY????
You know what, nevermind, he's just a dumbass, hearing or not. LOL

@inthrkitty and jewels the good news is that if you do need tubes as an adult they can just do it in the office I’m pretty sure. They only put kids out so they hold still while inserting them. I don’t have a clogged ear but I’ve had this weird feeling in my left ear for probably 2 months. It feels like there is cotton or hair in the outer part of my ear, I asked my OB about it at my last appt and she said it’s probably allergies. But, allergy medicine doesn’t make it go away so I’m just going to blame it on weird pregnancy hormone stuff. |

Ugh. This sounds like exactly what is going on with me. Funny thing is I never had tubes as a kid and according to my mom did not get a ton of infections. So why now? This is so annoying, I can't imagine this going on for months. But here I am a month in and still can't clear my ears all the way! LMK what the dr says - save me the copay  Isn't it annoying? Sometimes it hurts to chew because of the swelling. Lolz. I'll let you know. Copays for just hearing "let's wait and see" has also kept me from going in. Same here with no history of prominent EIs or anything like that as a kid so I have no idea why at 37 this is happening. yes. Beyond annoying. I hope it magically ends for both of us in our sleep tonight  |

LOL I had much of the same conversation with MH yesterday. S is off school that Friday and Monday and I signed him up for camp so he's covered. I realized a few weeks ago the B's DC is closed just that Monday. I told MH since he works from home (and for himself) and he was like oh, ok. I took that to mean, ok, don't worry about it, I got it. I reminded him last night and he's like "what? Why is DC closed? And school is closed too? What are we doing with S? I can't watch B, I'm too busy!" I reminded him about the camp I signed S up for (that I both told him and emailed him the receipt). And called a sitter to spend the day with B. But, like how does he just not retain any of this?!? Similar with lunch - I print out the monthly calendar and sit with him to go over it. We circle the days he's buying and put it on our bulletin board in the kitchen. It's been the same process since September. EVERY night MH asks me if S is buying tomorrow. It's so ridiculous. |

When I picked up Dude, he told me he had a surprise. At first I thought he was referring to the several hoodies he pulled from his pack pack and thought, “yay, more laundry.” But he saved me a kiwi they got from their school garden, and I thought was pretty sweet.

So I am not the only one having to explain the same thing over and over, I see. Every single week, I have to tell Pete the procedure for Dude’s homework.
I don’t care if it was his upbringing and/or gender norms that gave rise to this nonsense.
He’s not a brainless idiot and he can’t pretend to be one. Level up.

Dh has come home excitedly and told me about a new story or something. Most of the time we have already had an extensive conversation about it and he has zero recollection. I bring up certain points that were significant and things he said. He is like “yes that was what I was going to say now!” It’s brand new news all over again.
I admit that I have messed with him before and told him we talked about things when we didn’t. I’m going to feel really bad if he gets dementia or something!

Good afternoon! I hope you don’t need tubes, inthekitty but if you do I hope they work and make you feel better quickly. Stay healthy Chase! I hope it turns out to be nothing, joelies. That sounds like quite the bus stop entertainment, flamingo. I’m glad he’s okay and super impressed (but not surprised) that you keep iron on patches nearby. I took the morning off from my normal errands and house work, and watched This Is Us before I had to pick up Charlie. It hit me real hard in the feels and I’ve been super emotional all day. |

Unfortunately another one in the club here with shaking my head at repeating stuff to my husband. What really annoys me is he's the SAHP so in other words he's the one who should be on top of the house/school stuff and filling me in. Yet he's as clueless as ever. You're a smart man, act like it.

Yes, that is the part that would drive me nuts. Since I SAH, I expect to have to keep up with everything. If I worked, too, there would definitely need to be more give and take. |

Pretty much EVERY time I'm out of town, DH texts with some inane questions related to the boys' schedules. Years ago when I was working in the UK for 6 months, friends of mine crashed at our place with him for a wedding. He called me at a very odd hour (because time zones are hard, too) to ask where the iron was. The apartment was 700 square feet, he would have tripped over it within a few minutes if he'd even bothered looking.
And we all know his history with forgetting to pay our bills...

So I wrote a post earlier and never posted it. Worked 10 hours last night. It did not go well. Tonight is going to be rougher.
C is horrible at remembering things and I have to make pretty much all the decisions. Anything major I will now, after a huge fight right before having E, will follow up any major important conversation with a text recapping what we discussed. He usually respond yea I know or yes or something. Then when we talk about it and he gets mad we didn’t discuss it I bring it up on my phone. He gets frustrated at himself but not getting mad at me over it.
FYI the thing that caused a major fight was signing L up for private school. Luckily he had signed one of the documents and I made a copy so he did apologize, he honestly had no memory of giving the go ahead, just of the multiple discussions of figuring out cost for his current school and the public school we are assigned to.
But if I forget something, oh lord, he lords it over me “see I’m not the only one who forgets things”. Yes I’m sorry I forgot too but not very often.

Which brings me to C’s and mine latest conversations. I want to keep L in the current school for 1 more year. He really loves the 1st grade teacher and she is big into STEAM learning. C wants him to go to public school. We know we can’t afford both kids going to private and originally we agreed only kindergarten but I think we can pull 1 more year and E can go the the daycare there starting next January. So for 6 months both kids going to the same place. It would be magical.
C is just wanting to put more away in savings, which I get, I do to. But his class size is going to be 10 students next year at his current school. His class size at the school we are assigned to is 22.

inthekitty I got tubes when I was 23. It’s no big deal, I went to happy hour right from there. If you’ve ever slipped and let a q-tip slide in to far, that’s all it is. They do that with a q-tip to numb it then just twist then in and you feel nothing. There is no pain after.

T’s class had has 9 out of 17 kids out with the flu. Most of them were vaccinated so obviously it’s a different strain of some sort. His poor best friend has been down since last Wednesday. T likes to visit the nurse for silly things like “a hoola hoop hit his finger.” I told him he better not dare go to her office this week.

Oof, that’s a tough choice, chrisy01. I can see how 6 months of a one destination commute would be most appealing, but I wonder if the transition is easier in 1st vs 2nd. |

Live report from basketball practice: the coach has the kids running actual plays.
Did I mention he is a major in the Marine Corps? His T-shirt on Saturday said, “Pain is weakness leaving the body”.
I’m loving this guy 😂

As it turns out...I'm all YH's. He's constantly reminded me about stuff I don't remember talking about. In my defense it's typically random stuff and nothing significant. I manage the kids schedules, lunches, Dr appointments, ect.
