At the airport, waiting on starbucks. I cried all the way here. I hope I can shake this guilt and sadness once we're there and enjoy myself. I wasn't prepared for how I would feel. 😕

So glad it's Friday! peachsmama go and have a great time! Not only are you a mom, but you're a wife. You also have to take care of that relationship, besides just your kids. Who are in great, loving hands, and will also enjoy their time away from you!

My dad hasn’t been eating or drinking the past 2 days. Last night I tried to feed him some dinner and he only took a couple bites. Maybe had one sip of apple juice. He just kept falling asleep. That’s pretty much all he does is sleep all day.
My half siblings and their spouses arrive this afternoon. Should be a special kind of awkwardness.

Sitting here listening to my kid get her teeth drilled. It's the first time they've only used laughing gas and no sedation. I haven't heard any screaming, so I'm assuming it is going ok.
I have to run errands later to pick up random items for Halloween and her birthday party.
Other than that it should be a quiet day.

tgrimes I'm really sorry. It's hard to see ones parent decline. I wish I had amazing words or gestures to lessen the pain, but sadly there really are none. I love you and your family, anything you need, I'm there....or I'll send my brother since he's closer. 😉

Morning. Still a very sick dd2 over here. It sucks. It’s day three of high fevers. She’s a little more lively today.
I went shopping with my sister for a little bit & the kids had a blast building a forest fort and roasting hot dogs on the fire. They smell like a chimney. I wish dd2 could enjoy it a bit more. Help my hope she’s at least better tomorrow, we leave early on Sunday again…

I know it’s hard, but please don’t feel guilty for spending quality time with Yh and taking a break from life. You deserve it and I hope you can unwind and enjoy this vacation!

Sierra is having another rough day. She can’t walk and her eyes are rolling back in her head again. I’m at a loss. Everything I mention to the doctors as a possibility gets dismissed and they want to punt to a different specialist. I’m currently waiting for the neurologist to call me back. I feel like it has to be either 1. Shunt failure or over draining (scans when this happened 2 weeks ago were fine though). 2. Her chiari malformation becoming symptomatic. 3. Her meds. I’m just frustrated because there isn’t a clear answer.

Hugs tgrimes. I'm so sorry. peachsmama I hope you can shake the guilt and enjoy yourself soon. I remember the first time I was away from the kids for any length of time I felt so bad at first, but they truly were having a ball without me. Kids need a break from their primary caregivers every now and then too to shake things up. lfig that must be so hard to see your girl having a tough time and not know what's going on. I hope you get answers soon.

SSDD. I'm trying to knock out as much as I can today because on top of everything going on this weekend I have to put in some OT.
My master and grandmaster gave me two different styles for brick breaking (with some common elements) so I'm hoping whatever I do works and that our bricks dried enough last night (they won't break if damp). My test is in two parts tonight and tomorrow morning. I can't wait until it's done. But I'm also super proud of the women who do it with me. There aren't a lot of adults and most are women. One of my friends will be testing for black belt tonight.

Hi. I’ve been going through the boys clothes for the past couple hours. Why is this so much work? 😩 I got the rest of their winter stuff out but needed to make room for it so I weeded out all the summer stuff and had to sort what can work for spring and what will be recycled and then two other piles for hand me downs from each kid. I used to love doing this when M was a baby, but with two kids it’s such a task. I also have bought clearance items in the next size already so I needed to sort and put those in the right bin. I’m taking a break and need to go run errands.

lahdeedah, ugh, I hate doing that too. My sister is a major hoarder and holds onto crap forever--like has passed down an outfit from one kid to another 7 years later and then another 4 years later. Woof. I could not stand holding onto clothes that doesn't fit anyone for over a decade. The girls have way too many clothes and I'm doing my best to not buy anymore until the outgrow and we get rid of what they have.

I have spent most of the day sewing a headless doll for Cadence's Wednesday costume. I need to find what I'm going to wear for my costume.
They measured Cadence at the dentist this morning. They said she was 4'7". At this rate she's going to be taller than me by 4th grade. ðŸ˜ðŸ˜
