I'm at the office today. Hardly anyone is here so I actually got a good amount of work done. Tonight is a retirement party for a coworker. I don't want to go but it wouldn't be a good look if I didn't. I do like her a lot, its just that I have to go get C from camp and then go back to the city for the party with him since Dh can't leave work early. I also think I forgot to put deodorant on this morning. My pits don't often smell but time will tell if I need to stop at the store also. Just slap on some hand sanitizer on them. Isn’t that really painful?! Mine contains alcohol (insert shudder).

wedding lolz. I often think about how bougie (I have no clue how to spell it and know that isn't close) my kids upbringing is compared to mine. (In snooty voice with pinky up) I didn't dare even dream of equestrian lessons. I feel like my dad "back in my day..." but seriously. I was latchkey and spent my summers home with my brother fighting over the tv. My mom did in-home daycare so she was around, but she was busy with all the younger kids (she regularly watched 10-20...in our 1500 sq. ft. house, by herself). So by around the age of 7 I was an "older" kid and expected to keep quiet during naptime and entertain myself. If you went outside you stayed out there and didn't go in and out. I did everything conceivable as far as outdoor play and otherwise played a lot of Nintendo and watched TV.

Also hi! I had coffee with a friend this morning. And basically spend the rest of the day cooking in intervals. Ds has swim class around dinner time on Wednesday, so I make the kids a hot lunch and just give them yogurt or cereal with fruit when he gets home. I made a huge batch of pasta for a friend/coworker who already had a lot on her plate, then two weeks ago her mom was admitted in the hospital for emergency surgery (we brought a huge bag of fancy chocolates then) and then last week her 11mo was admitted to hospital with a respiratory virus. I froze one batch, so she’ll have dinner next week too. Seriously when it rains, it pours. And I also promised my parents a frittata I make that they love. So basically my kitchen looked like a bomb went of in it, gotta love my husband fir cleaning up my mess .

Glad both kids seem to be feeling better today tgrimes. Any update on the xray for M today? E got another good report from her rheumatologist yesterday, no active arthritis. The clock for no active started in January, if she continues on this track until next January, they will change her medicine to an oral, lower dose. H also took her in for her labs and everything was good there. I'm debating using a vacation day Friday to extend my holiday weekend. Which will be spent cleaning and doing laundry. But work is kind of annoying. I think the lady I have been working closest with is avoiding the newest hire because she keeps having me come sit with her, under the guise of showing me additional things, but I'm not walking away with anything to do. So I think she's using me as a shield. I asked her how she felt about the new person (they both have the exact same title) and she just kind of laughed and said it was fine. I asked about how things will be structured since I haven't heard anything and she said she hasn't either. The entire thing is very weird to me. But yeah, it's making me want to be out for a day.

Volunteering at horse riding lessons was a hit. It's a quick drive from my house and gave me 2 hours of quiet to get work down. Win-win.

Today is our 15 year anniversary. I took the little boys to the beach this morning while DH was working. They were having story hour on the beach. T wouldn’t go but C loved it. A teenage girl read a bunch of books and C was the kid that had to comment on every single page (he even told her about the character he met in Disney which was a big lie because he’s never been to Disney). I continued living my best life by having a chipwich and High Noon for lunch. Tonight we took the kids to the boardwalk and ran into my nephew, who we see often, and my niece, who we don’t ever see and who 2 of my kids never met (they are cousins, not siblings) and then my nephew’s ex girlfriend who hung out at our house all last summer. Tomorrow is our adult only anniversary dinner.

It was crazy. That was only during the summer when she didn't have to drive anywhere. During the school year she had to go to about 4 different schools doing pick-ups and had about 12 kids then. She was a single mom so she did what she had to do. She did an amazing job of it though. No way I could do it. She's watched second generation kids.

The dr hasn’t contacted me yet, but according to my chart it shows moderate poop. Lol. I know she had diarrhea yesterday though, after we met with the dr. So I have a feeling I should keep this dose of miralax going. I did buy the probiotic you’re using though. It should be here tomorrow.

I love that probiotic tgrimes Start w 1/4 t and work your way up or it might irritate her tummy. He’s at just under 3/4 t and it took me about 3 weeks to work up to that dose My friend’s 3 year old has similar issues and he’s been on it for a few months. She loves it too. I think hes at 1/2 r I hope whatever regiment you get her on works.

Also tgrimes I know you don’t do Facebook but I’m in a bunch of poop groups (how is this my life???) that have given me a lot of ideas about how to help. Lmk if you do join and want me to invite you to any of them.
