tgrimes, can your H take off any time? I was reading your post on GD the other day and the surgery sounds like what my friend's daughter had around the same age. She was born with a cleft palate and has had a bunch of surgeries so far and, while I don't recall all the details, I remember her talking about a flap a lot with this one. She said recovery was rough, and keeping her 4 year old from eating was even tougher. Tons of smoothies and ice cream and applesauce. But she actually healed at a faster rate than they told her. She took FMLA for the surgery for a month (I believe) and after 2 weeks she was out and about with her and she was mostly ok. I remember her coming to a birthday party like 10 days later, and other than us all watching her like a hawk to prevent her from grabbing chips or something, she was fine. She said the best thing she did was buy a shit ton of little toys. Every time she had to change the dressings/bandages, she let her pick a wrapped toy. Her son (our N13s age) got jealous though so she ended up buying him a bunch of stuff too. I'd be happy to ask her more details (or not, if I misunderstood what his surgery is)

jewels Yes please ask her about the surgery. H will have the pharyngeal flap surgery for the VPI. I'm so happy to hear she healed faster than expected.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Cadence and I are just hanging at the hotel today while she plays in the pool.
We head back tomorrow and I'll drop her off at my mom's. Then I have Wednesday off to get my license renewed and recooperate from the trip.
I need to stop believing in Cadence's ability to apply sunscreen to my back. I ended up with several bright red, painful patches. She faired only slightly better with red shoulders and pink cheeks.

Enjoying peace and quiet right now. I have a 90 minute massage (I'm treating myself to a extra half hour) this afternoon and that's my only plan for the day. The house is decently clean so I can enjoy it.

TV Talk: I finally started The Haunting of Bly Manor. So far it's good. One of Netflix's auto-prompt previews started for Hill House and just that scared the crap out of MH. ![(rofl)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/rofl.png) Community is my current workout show. I really enjoy it. Goofy fun with the right amount of heart. Army of the Dead--I learned from all the commercials touting it as the new Zack Snyder movie that I never need to see another Zack Snider movie. Your typical egotistical director who takes himself too seriously and turns something that could be scary/fun into long and boring. Wonder Woman 84--lots of fun. Really enjoyed it. The girls did too.

tgrimes I will ask her if it's the same surgery and if she has any tips for you. Will he be in the hospital overnight? I believe she had to stay 1 night, but maybe 2?

My MIL just cancelled picking up the kids tomorrow. I’m bummed because I have appointments in the morning and was looking forward to sorting out some clothes for dd2 without the kids around. Now I’m playing taxi again (Dd needs to be picked up at 1 and ds at 3).

Tomorrow is C’s last day at the sitter. She’s moving on Wednesday. I am not okay. I’m so sorry 😞. Have you found alternative childcare you’re okay with? He was going to be done with her next week anyway because I’m home for the summer and he starts pre-k in September so for the week, he will just be home destroying the house while DH is here working.

My vice principal just gave a 45 emotional goodbye speech (I love him but it’s a win for me since I am no longer working at that school and he is leaving to be principal of T’s school). Right after that since I was already worked up, I wrote the goodbye/thank you card for the sitter. DH is at a golf outing/beefsteak for the night so I will probably drive thru fast food of some kind and eat my feelings before taking DD to gymnastics.
I have been slowing making plans to celebrate each of the milestones we have in the next 2 weeks. DD has elementary graduation Wednesday and then we are going to lunch, invited family to “cocktails and cupcakes” for our birthdays next week, invited DD’s friends to a water park for her birthday the next week. DH is in charged of dinner reservations for my birthday and our anniversary. We will find a beach bar with a cover band next weekend, pay my nephew to watch all the kids, and party like it’s my 21st with all our beach friends.

Hey! DH stayed home from work so I was able to run errands with just V while he was home with S. H is at her second week of camp and I’ll be going to pick her up soon. I got all the tulle I need to make V’s skirt for her birthday party and the thing I hang on the front of the high chair. That project doesn’t sound like fun but I gotta get it done. We got some yard work done and I plan to stay inside for the rest of the night, probably. Happy birthday klong11

Happy birthday klong11! Busy day (and week!) here. Volleyball, swimming lessons and tball for the kids plus our towns “festival” week that we are big part of. My calendar looks insane. L just passed the 3 hour mark on his nap, which allowed me to get a lot done. The house is clean and laundry is caught up on so I don’t have to worry about that stuff this week.
