Cher sorry hun! Real estate is the worst sometimes. kim22 they call us with the results and I told them to put a Note in there that we didn't want to know. And then I told the dr even if I said I changed my mind not to tell me, lol. Sometimes I feel girl, and sometimes I feel boy so I have no idea. I had no idea I was going to get a text but I don't think mine was Mat21. It was Panarama.

We did the water park and lunch. Then the regular playground. But there was a mean kid there and his mom didn't seem to care that he was punching my kid. So we left. I got tired of yelling at someone else's kid. I was afraid to get yelled at by the parent when she finally decided to care. And I'm not picking on the kid, no one understands difficult children more than me. But he was full-on punching Matthew, and he had to be six or seven. I would have yelled at the kid and the mom I yelled at the kid a couple times. He kept following M around to pick on him. But his mom had a fresh newborn and was chatting with her friends. She couldn't of cared less.

kim22 did you ever call the builder about your house? How many bedrooms do you have now? I won't do anything until after the baby is here. We have 4 bedrooms so everyone is on their own now. The rooms aren't big but have big closets. 4 bedroom houses with all bedrooms on the same floor like we have are basically unheard of and 5 bedrooms are nonexistent here. We may be able to get another room over the garage but it will require a variance (which took us 7 months to get last time.) I also don't know that I want to be taxed as a 5 bedroom, our taxes are about 11,000 already and our property is 50x100. We will not move farther away from NYC though to get more space because without traffic, DH's commute is 18 minutes and mine is 6 minutes. Probably, T is getting a roommate although right now DD is requesting the baby be with her.

I need to get H a new backpack for preschool this year. Last year I just got her the pre-k backpack from PBK, but her new preschool requires a "large" backpack. I asse it's so they can put folders and full size paper in there. I've been watching for a good sale on pbk but nothing yet. Im also considering ll bean too. We like our ll bean one, but we have the smaller size.

Well, 14 vials of blood and 4 hours later...
Immunologist is not sure what's going on but he is sure he knows how to go forward.
He's running extensive labs. He gave me a pneumonia vaccine and then I go back for a redraw in 4 weeks. The redraw will tell him about how well my immune system is functioning based on how many antibodies I've made in response to the vaccine. He wants me to get allergy testing.
He also wants the kids to have Immunology/Allergy testing because if there is a problem (which I don't suspect) then he'd rather know about it now.
So. Not much to report except he seems very confident in his diagnostic skills and that's encouraging.

Oh my goodness cagoldi, they would've had to pick me up off the floor. That's a lot of blood! But I'm happy he seems confident and has a plan to figure this out.

We've been sitting on an extremely hot plan for 40minutes. No communication about take off. The guy behind me is watching some show loudly in another language. No headphones.
I think I want to get some Beats by Dre. Does anyone have them? Are they worth the money?

I love the princess one but it has been excluded from the sales. I'm not going to pay full price for it, so she can get a different print. I know- it's pissing me off that they won't let you use a sale or promo code w it. I was kinda hoping later in the year they will, that's why I am holding off til Xmas. I realize that doesn't help you now for the upcoming school year. . . I just gave H some options to choose between and the first thing she said, before seeing anything was "I want the one with all the princesses". I showed her the catalogue like a month ago. Of course she remembers.

I am MOTY. J refused to wash his hands after the bathroom at dropoff and resulted in two of our time outs and me being stuck there for a solid 15 minutes of him acting like a nut. I finally took him to the gate and said bye, don't poop in your pants today, and sped away.
2 hours later I get an email from his teacher saying he said he wasn't behaving bc he wants to spend more time with me. And they made a to do list of the morning dropoff (complete with real pictures of his actual water bottle, backpack, and sunscreen) and he has a new chart for bathroom success. Fack. I'm the worst. I should start a fund for the therapy he will need for being my kid.

No but M has some princess head phones that my sister sent her that she's currently in love with at the moment. I think you'd look adorable with a crown on top of your head while sitting on the plane.

tallb I'm laughing because our daycare is way too lazy to ever come up with something like that. Also because on Monday, this was my conversation with them: Daycare: How are you this morning? Me: Do you ever have one of those days where you regret having children? Daycare: ::laughing:: Me: Yeah, that's me this morning. Daycare: It can only get better from here, mom. Have a couple of glasses of wine when you get home tonight.

I think j yelled dammit last night, not telling me since I know it's from me😬

Potty training day 2 update: Failure.
Zero success on potty...unless you count the time I forced her down on the potty while she was pooping against her wishes.
I thought after that I was in the clear for poop because she typically only goes once a day. So right after she peed on the floor one of the times, I figured I had a bit till she would go again so I took a few minutes to go in the other room to put away laundry. Biggest mistake ever. I hear her making a funny noise so I peek out to check on her. She pooped again. On the floor, stepped in it, tracked it, had it down both legs, and then tried to "wipe" it off her legs as I was walking towards her. So hands were covered, then went to brush her hair out of her face, thus getting it on her face and in her hair. Straight to the bath! Then I spent nap time cleaning and sanitizing the living room. We've had a fabulous day here 😬.

Oh no lfig, that sounds terrible for both of you, and really disgusting 🤢 I'm sorry tallb, you're not the worst. It's so hard with two and balancing the time. Are you able to spend any one on one time with him? There was also this link that someone posted here a while back that was like '64 things to say to a child' or something like that, sounds cheesy but it's helped remind me that words and actions matter. So I tell him a lot that he's my favourite boy, he's such a good duplo builder, big brother...etc all confidence building words. It's made me more aware because it was not pretty here for a while and his acting out showed it. Hugs friend, this shit is hard

lfig, I'm sorry! tallb, why do they think you don't spend enough time with him? One rushed morning (or all the rushed mornings) doesn't really tell them that. I think it's kinda crappy they'd say his behavior is because of that!
