I seriously have no idea how it's only Tuesday. We have break next week and boy do we need it. The kids in the building are falling apart. We just had Christmas break 6 weeks ago. It feels so much longer than that.

Hi all! It's been quite awhile. Every time I think of checking in I get sidetracked. I saw cnf 's pregnancy announcement today and wanted to come and see how everyone was doing and say congratulations. H has been a total sour patch kid lately but I guess that comes with the territory of being 2. We've had quite the winter: pneumonia for me, sinus infection for MH, me sick again, then a virus for H that took us all down (me, MH, MIL, and both my parents lol). We are finally on the upswing from that last one. I'm going to try and read through and catch up the best I can. Hiiiii! I think about you all the time (in a non-creepy way!) Sorry there's been so much sickness going around, hopefully you've had your share now.

How are you feeling rooskie ? Everything still ok? yep. Just KOKO. I go to the RE next Wednesday for an ultrasound at 7w+2d and after that I should be released (and hopefully done with Crinone!) I'm basically tired all the time and if I don't eat every 2-3 hours I feel like crap, but other than that I'm doing great. I'm pretty sure with B I gave up all caffeine during 1st tri, but this time I'm only making it through the day with a soda or a coffee. Thank you for asking

It feels so much longer than that. I cannot wait for break next week. I'm sending both kids to DC and laying around all week by myself.

My H is taking N snowboarding one day and I will have one glorious day alone at home. I also booked a massage and a facial for the weekend. I can’t wait.

March is by far the absolute worst month. Ever.

Good morning, last night went smooth because dinner was already made. Please spam me with any recipes you use that reheat well as I foresee more traditional meal prep in my future. This is my new favorite, and super healthy! lillieeatsandtells.com/instant-pot-creamy-tomato-chicken-soup/I had it for several lunches and also dinner tonight, haha. It’s one of those that tastes even better reheated.

This is the first year we've ever done DC and E goes to kindergarten next year, so I'm taking heavy advantage of sending them during school breaks since it's the only year I have the luxury 😂 I should totally book myself a massage!

We just found out N is getting another award at school tomorrow. This boy is just killing kindergarten. God, I hope he continues on this path.
Also, I got home last night and my H gave me a beautiful bouquet of flowers for Valentines. And I promptly laughed because last year his response when I gave him a card in the morning was "Oh, Are we doing cards?"

Hi all. sorry I’ve been MIA. Feb is hard so I’ve been trying to focus on myself. My therapy has helped and being on an antidepressant, even a very small dose, has helped more than I realized it could.
January was rough with sicknesses, our house leak getting fixed and finding out our dog has hip dysplasia. We finally have our living room back after it being opened an plastic’d off since thanksgiving while the balcony/stucco work was done and water tested before closing up the drywall. Realizing my dog is on the downhill side of his life has been hard. We had to cancel his dog walks, so he’s pretty down. Meds seem to help a bit.
DS counted to 10 the last two days, which shocked me. I don’t remember DD doing that this early. He’s such a parrot. Yesterday was his 3rd week of swim and he loved it! First two weeks were crying and clinginess with me sitting pool side. This week was like a switch. In fact he wasn’t listening to the teacher some and was playing between his turns. 🤦♀️

My H is at work and I’m parenting with the flu. I feel slightly better than I did yesterday but I still feel like garbage. Counting down the minutes till nap time and hoping the tamiflu (and the flu shot) makes it short lived. Also hoping no one else gets it!

Parenting while sick is the worst.

Hello! We had 2 birthday parties to go to today so both boys are wiped. In fact, C seemed a bit out of sorts and had a low grade fever before bed. He just got over a double ear infection and I’m on my second round of antibiotics within 6 weeks myself so if he gets sick again, I may cry. Blah. Winter needs to end.

So many people I know have gotten it. Fingers crossed it passes quickly and the family is spared.

Is it spring yet? It's been such a bad year for illness it seems.
DD didn't nap today and was actually pretty fine until bedtime which is quite scary. She better sleep until after 6 tomorrow.
I put a deposit down on a RAV4 Hybrid this week. It doesn't arrive until April. They are so backordered that I'm getting one someone else ordered and then cancelled because they didn't want to wait any longer. I didn't get to pick the color, so it's black which is fine. I didn't need something as big as the Ascent. I took the Crosstrek for a drive and liked it, but to get all of the options it got pretty expensive. This is more affordable, the right size and I'll save some on gas 👍 I'm not ready for full electric yet.

Thanks sarahandben108 and pootsen! I slept for 12hrs last night! I’m still really achy/sore and get fatigued quickly but I think I’m on the mend. My H has to go into work for a bit today but he took the boys to his parents so I can rest. Watching some cold case files on Netflix and then I’m going to take a bath.

We went shopping yesterday and went into a store where the guy tried to sell me "buy two bath salts, get the third free" and I was thinking if only I had that much time for baths 🤣

Happy Monday everyone. Nothing too crazy this weekend, took H to a pottery place to finish our V day gifts (vases with his fingerprints as hearts). Had to buy a mug for him to paint because he wasn't feeling the just sitting there. Do we still share pics in the private board? I have some cute vday ones I'm not putting on social media cause they involve my nephew. I'll take any and all low carb snack and meal suggestions. I had an appt with the RE last week to talk about an FET and I know my A1C was an issue last time so I'm starting to watch my carbs to ensure things are on track.

I feel like I’m in denial, DS1 turned 8 on the 15th. We let him invite 3 friends and took them to a local college basketball game. They had so much fun, and we’re more behaved than we expected. One friend decided to take his shirt off, 3 times, because he saw a college guy on the dance cam with no shirt paired with overalls. That was neat, but the best was when I texted his mom, she responded “ I literally just laughed out loud. Oh my!” This is why I adore her, she also generally has more chill than I do.
