yummeecookee hmm. I think you’re smart to investigate with her pedi but if you get the all-clear, then yeah 🤔🤔 Does she seem anxious about school/being out of the house at all? Maybe it’s an attention-seeking thing?

I’ve noticed B develops debilitating stomach problems at night, requiring the heating pad, lots of hair pats and sympathy, etc. So weird how they always come on as I’m trying to leave the room.

I have been wondering if she had any anxieties about being in a brand new school. She just seems so well adjusted and happy. She gets up each morning on her own, gets dressed, doesn’t fight w me or try to delay going. If you ask her, she says she likes it there.
I’ve let her teacher know as well so she can be on the lookout in case B is showing any behaviors during the school day.

(Thank you for not judging me BTW. I was wondering if by sharing that I had doubts, ppl might just jump to thinking I’m a shit mom who doesn’t believe my kid.)

Oh my goodness - never! 50% of the time S complains about something I doubt him. I had cramps once and was holding my stomach and said ‘ouch’. A few minutes later he said he had a stomach ache like me. I don’t think so kid!

Oooooh electric blanket, thats a good one to bring lfig! The prefect addition to any chilly night.

I'm sorry tgrimes ...hopefully the meds kick in fast. Poor kid. Surely he will outgrow this at some point, right????

God I hope so.

MH bought so much stuff for this 2 night camping trip. I don't even want to tally up how many hundreds of dollars.

[mwhip]

I'm eating Pringles. Seems relevant.

Damn, it's hard to stop. But once my hand doesn't comfortably fit in the tube, time to stop!

[nam2013]

@yummeecookie no judgement here! I send my girl to her first day of pre-school after she was complaining about a tummy ache, thinking it was nerves. Half an hour later daycare called, she threw up all over herself, Whoops! Normally my mom gut feeling radar works better, I’m sure yours works great too!

Eta hope the doctor can give you some clarity.

[lahdeedah]

yummeecookee Girl no. If that would happen to my kid, I’d be wondering if he is trying to pull something on me, too. Hope the doc can give more insight on what may or may not be going on.

tgrimes What? I know seasonal allergies have been taking over lives. Could it be allergy related?

lfig insert You in danger girl gif.

[mwhip]

tgrimes I hope the meds help quickly. It's always something...

[tgrimes]

lahdeedah I don't believe it's allergy related. Parotitis is usually caused by an infection or stones, if I remember correctly what the ENT said last year. IF it's recurrent juvenile parotitis, they usually can't find the cause.

[jewels]

Poor H tgrimes! He’s got to stop these infections soon, right? Right?

Hello from the pool. In an effort to be “the fun mom” for a change, we picked B up from the bus and came straight here. The snack bar is closed due to Covid, which is unfortunate bc an adult beverage would be really nice right now.

Do y’all have ‘love bugs’ where you are? C ‘met’ one today in the car after her haircut. Oh my word, the screaming...you would have thought she was being attacked by a shark. I couldn’t figure out what was wrong and jerked the car into the nearest parking lot. I think the whole thing took a couple years off my life. 🤦🏻‍♀️😅

[tgrimes]

flamingo OMG. I'm dying at the attack of the love bugs.

Nature girl, Caroline is not.

[guster]

I hope the meds help quickly, tgrimes. Does it cause H any pain?
No judgement here, @yummee. Hope the ped can set her at ease.

Yes, it’s painful. I’ve been giving him ibuprofen and doing the warm compresses but it didn’t work this time.

It’s basically like the mumps, but only one side and it’s not contagious.

[mwhip]

Evies teacher emailed me earlier today, saying she's been watching her during recess and noticed she's very stiff when running. I asked evie about it after school, like normal, then poked some more, and she finally admitted that she wants to run, but her body won't let her.

We have an appointment already scheduled for a week from Monday, but I'm sad shes clearly in pain and didn't want to tell me. And if her teacher noticed, then other kids probably did too.

Her teacher told me she was worried I'd think she was singling her out and i told her not to worry about that at all. That the goal is for her to have a 'normal healthy life and we have to figure out what mix of meds makes that happen.

[inthekitty]

tgrimes and mwhip. I'm sorry. Your poor kiddos.

[wedding]

flamingo what is a love bug?

I’m sorry mwhip. I hope they get the right cocktail soon.

I don’t camp. I did it with friends in HS and o don’t remember much from those trips due to beer. Dh tried to convince me I would love it and made me go once. We were on the outskirts of the site and I really needed to pee and the restroom was far away. So I did what any lady would do and popped a squat. I slipped a fart and heard laughter from others which caused me to laugh and I got pee on my pants.

Dh doesn’t ask me to go camping anymore.

The principal just emailed a nice recap of the week and accolades to the staff. He lost noted that when school was pushed back the calendar changed and Monday is no longer a professional development day so kids are in school 🎉🎉

Is Call the Midwife good? I need a show and saw it has 9 seasons so I thought why not. The first two episodes were a bit slow so I wasn’t sure if I should trudge on.

[vino]

Oh goodness poor E mwhip. I hope they’re able to give her something to feel better.

I loved it!

[tgrimes]

mwhip That makes me so sad.

[kim22]

tgrimes and mwhip hope the kids are feeling better soon. I really think I need to go to medical school. DD had a gastro virtual appointment and I feel like I told the doctor what we are doing next, not the other way around.

Just got off the phone with one of my oldest friends. She had her first baby yesterday but she lives in Florida so I won’t see her for a long time. She’s a teacher and her water broke at school. That was my biggest fear and I don’t know any other teachers that had that happen so I’m glad I’m done with babies (and also that my water never broke with any of them).

[yummeecookee]

We don’t have love bugs here but I am very familiar w them from our trips down to see the ILs.

Ped appt was ok. The rapid test showed nothing but her dr is still going to send it to the lab jic, so I’ll know Monday. She did have a look at B and there was a tiny bit of redness. She said I could put diaper cream on her and maybe it’s just some poor hygiene going on.

[flamingo]

Poor E mwhip , I'm glad her teacher is observant and I hope yall can find something to help her feel better going forward.

kim22  Congrats to your friend! Water breaking at work (esp. school!) would definitely be on my list of 'FWP worst nightmares'. 

wedding So we have 'love bug season'...Sept. and May. They're small flying insects, completely harmless, they don't bite or sting. I think they're called love bugs b/c they're usually in pairs, they somehow attach and fly around together.

[jewels]

mwhip I’m sorry I hope they are able to find a way to ease her pain

[lahdeedah]

flamingo LOL to C’s lovebug meltdown. I don’t know a life where there aren’t love bugs. So am I to assume lovebugs are regional?? TIL... wow.

mwhip Awww. I’m sorry E is still dealing with the pain. I’m glad her teacher noticed to clue you in. Poor kid.

kim22 Congrats to your friend. Water breaking at school not ideal.

[wedding]

I’ve seen love bugs. Never called them anything. Just thought they were sexing while flying.
