That would bother me too wineallthetime. Especially when she already said she wouldn’t use the same nicknames that you use. It would be different if it was a far off cousin that you don’t see often but your sister, who you see all the time, should know better.

Are we counting today as part of the weekend or are we going to do a new thread? Either way, I’ll update here. I am at work and am trying my hardest not to sniffle or cough. I caught the girls’ cold and Sudafed isn’t completely stifling it all. Today is supposed to be nicer so hopefully we can spend the afternoon outside when I get home…or I might just take a nap.

Hello! I think we are going to a park and a RESTAURANT (outdoor). I don't know if my kids even remember what a restaurant is.

One of our favourite boy names is very similar to the nickname my sister calls her boy, we did not even consider it 🤷🏼♀️.

Crazy busy weekend over here. On Saturday we went to the zoo again, because why not. Yesterday was my birthday, but since today is DD’s we celebrated her. Lots of ‘door visits’ except for the grandparents & my grandma (all have been vaccinated and we sat in the yard). She got rollerskates, a blue prinses dress, silk fairy wings and lots and lots of other goodies, safe to say she was spoiled rotten. Today she handed out threats at school. I got a bunch of those ribbon streamers, you typically see at weddings and popcorn, she was very proud and adorable. I’m a little sad we couldn’t be in her class, they normally tell the story of the kids life (highlights) and it’s very sweet and emotional. She crashed hard this afternoon, so tv it is and I’m keeping her home tomorrow .

Happy birthday to you and your DD nam2013! Sounds like a great day. I had a chuckle about her handing out “threats” at school! Autocorrect is funny.

We got back last night from the Cape. It was dreary but the kids had fun and were able to swim for an hour during a rain break. The pool is heated but I don’t know how they tolerated it! Today I need to do a return to Target and get a couple of groceries. Later we have dinner at my parents and it looks like the clouds will clear by then.

Cassidy's ankle is doing much better so I think I'll take them for the falls loop walk (it's really short) so they can see the salmon ladders.

I got home from work and discovered that S has a red goopy eye, so now we are waiting to check in at urgent care. Fun.

Okay... this was more than just crashing. She got a fever and since she had the tiniest runny nose (seriously in normal times I wouldn’t even have noticed 🤦🏼♀️) I tested het with a home COVID test. Which I to not recommend. Because I was scared to not swab deep enough, I probably went in to deep and hurt her... it was negative thankfully, which was expected.
I hate hate hate when the kids are sick, I get extremely anxious, heart palpitations, I have upset stomach and feel nauseous with worry, when I can rationally see that this is nothing big and she’ll probably be a lot better tomorrow. I feel so stupid for feeling like this.

Happy birthday to you and J, nam2013! So sorry she's sick now, hopefully short lived. Doing an at home Covid test sounds awful.

Happy birthday to you and J &nam2013!
And I totally get the same way with the boys about being sick, esp at the first hint of tummy troubles. I literally make myself physically ill over it. I never used to be that way but now I can’t control it at all. I try to talk myself out of it but it doesn’t work

I forgot my actual point nam2013. Don’t feel stupid. It’s not something you can control. Just try to take deep breaths and remind yourself that everyone will be ok. If you need to check on her 8000 times to feel better , that’s ok too.

nam2013 Happy Birthday to you and DD! Hope she’s feeling better soon. I totally get where you are coming from and Covid makes it so much worse. I’m already anxious about being in a new school next year and assuming my kids will be sick a lot since they have not really been sick at all in a year.

nam2013 I’m sorry she’s sick. Our wait wasn’t too bad, we got eye drops and antibiotics. She hates the dye drops, good thing we have to do them 4x a day. 🙄 S and V have had runny noses and coughs for 2 weeks, and now the rest of us have caught it. I am heading to bed shortly because I’m exhausted after working 3 days in a row, and then working in the garden for a few hours this evening.

Previously I would put a matras in the floor next to her and stay with her until she would fall asleep & just sleep there. Now that dd2 is here and keeping me up at night, I let her fall asleep in our bed and I asked my h to sleep next to her. Fingers crossed she wakes up better. Eta and yes with tummy troubles especially! Seriously ds threw up 3/4 a week for almost a year, and I was used to it then. But now...

It was never 3/4 times per week but he had that period of time when he was 2.5 - 3 where he was waking up middle of the night and throwing up, and during that time I was mostly alone with them. I ended up keeping a towel laid out next to his crib to help with the clean up and as silly as that sounds, it really helped my anxiety. Like, it was one less thing I'd have to worry about (cleaning up the carpet in the middle of the night by myself with a sick kid). I kept a towel there for a good 6 months after that cycle was over. MH thought it was ridiculous, but it helped me feel better.

Ds struggled (well still does) with food, so if a bite wasn’t feeling okay in his mouth he would projectile vomit... it was fun. He also threw up easily if he was upset, I also kept an entire spare set of bedding on the changing table for forever and always double up on his matras, the things we do to survive 🤦🏼♀️.
