Making it Monday

[klong11]

Another week, girls. Lets do this.

[klong11]

My colonoscopy is set for Wednesday. I started "prepping" over the weekend by going low-fiber. Tomorrow I'm on clear liquids only plus the actual prep solution. Joy.
Since I have that on the book I of course caught Cadence's "allergies" from a week ago...yeah, it was clearly a cold. Then mh got it and now I've got it. It isn't too bad, other than the ridiculous cough, but even that seems to be clearing pretty quickly.

Cadence has a monster tonsil stone. I managed to get half of it out and she refused to let me continue. When I mentioned it to her dentist she said to talk to the pedi about it, so I guess I need to remember to do that at her well check in 2 weeks. Cadence also says her right arm randomly starts throbbing, so we'll be talking about that too...I guess. Idk.

The weekend was pretty tame, I spent most of the time on the couch nursing my cold. Cadence forgot her tablet at school, so I made her do some workbook pages since she couldn't access any of her actual school work. She was not pleased.

We had such a nice weekend but I totally spaced on an "all about me" project that Charlie had to do. Miraculously I remembered it early yesterday morning (thank you time change) after realizing I didn't put it on the calendar or in my phone. I quickly ordered pictures from CVS and let Charlie go to town on the drawing and writing portions. It did come out really cute, and he's excited to present it today.
I have to run out and buy some new wrapping paper for Josie's birthday presents and figure out what to make for an easy dinner, but otherwise I'm here all day!

Morning from FL. We got here late Saturday night and it was harder than I expected, realizing my Dad wouldn't be here. Obviously I knew but it hit differently once we got close. My Mom mostly wants to talk but we've also cleaned out some medical supplies, collected all the pills to destroy, and even cleaned out a few drawers. She's not ready to actually donate anything so it'll sit in the garage until she's ready, and we didn't even touch the closet. Then we took a drive to look at new construction, because that was one of my Dad's favorite things to do.

I'm not sure what we'll be doing today, we're trying to balance errands and downtime since the last couple weeks were so tough on her.

E threw up this morning so that was fun to deal with. L was trying to convince me that he also was sick but when I mentioned he ate a donut and he couldn’t go to the park later this week. He miraculously felt better.

I’m so tired I hope C doesn’t have any more overnights for a while.

joelies, that must be so difficult. Lots of love to you and your family.

SSDD here. After having really bad side effects from the COVID19 vaccines, I had hardly anything from my booster. Some GI upset and I was more tired than usual but functional with an hour nap midday. It was a nice surprise since I expected to be down for the count this weekend. C has his first in person therapy session tonight. He was doing better with his fear of me leaving him last week until we had a drop off birthday party Saturday. He walked through his fear but it was hard talking him into it. The bounce house helped!

I'm only working today and tomorrow this week so I have a lot to do but I am so looking forward to time off!

[jewels]

joelies - I'm glad you were able to make it down there, and sorry it's so tough.

chrisy01 I hope it was a 1 time deal for E and she's feeling better already.

[jewels]

I'm back at the office today and exhausted from the weekend. The boys were excited to go to school/day care and tell everyone about their trip.

[wineallthetime]

I'm sorry, joelies. Sending all the love.

[wineallthetime]

I think I'm going to look at a house I really like online! It's less than a mile from my current house. I drove by and it looks so cute.

[klong11]

joelies, I'm glad you are able to spend time with your mom. The cleaning out process is so hard, so I'm glad you are there to help.

chrisy01 yikes! Hopefully its just from drainage and it doesn't happen any more.

[tgrimes]

joelies I tried to get rid of some of my dad's stuff, too. My mother wasn't ready yet though. Sending you all the love hugs. I know this is really hard on all of you.

[mwhip]

joelies I'm glad you are able to be there to help your mom and spend time with your family (minus your sister). Hugs to you all.

Exciting wineallthetime! I hope the house is perfect!

Buying! Thought about renting but there really aren't a lot of rentals around here, at least in the area I want for schools. G is renting in my city but not where we want to send the kids to school.

wineallthetime hope the house works pot for you!

joelies I’m so sorry. That must be so hard.

klong11 that does not sound fun at all. I’m sorry 😕.

Morning. My little one had her 11m well visit today. She’s rocking her tiny ass at 17.5lbs and 27.5inch. Developmentally she’s right on track, now if only she would sleep 🤦🏼‍♀️. She had two shots and poor thing was not happy.

It took the kids to a nice toy store with lots of wooden toys and got dd2 a nice stacker for her birthday next week. I’m almost done with everything for her birthday and Sinterklaas. Wear, read, need, are done, I got some small wants, now each kid can ask for some wants in the coming weeks and we’ll get that. I’m thinking we’ll get some nee wooden blocks since the kids are fighting over those most weeks.

I still haven't received my biopsy results. I called my OBGYN and the nurse said they received the report on Thursday but they're waiting on the dictation from the radiologist. So my doctor hasn't even seen it yet because the nurses wait for the dictation and give her everything at once. I called the place where I had the biopsy and they said the radiologist hasn't viewed the results yet, then she transferred me to leave a message for someone at that location to call me back.

WTF people. I've been worrying for a week now. Someone look at the damn results and call me back. AUGH!

[chrisy01]

[mention]tgrimes [/mention] can you send a message to your doctor. Mine is really good about checking the app

[chrisy01]

[mention]joelies [/mention] big hugs. Please let us know if you need anything

[chrisy01]

I’m home. My boss heard E was sick and C is doing overnights so she sent me home to take care of E. Good thing she did. I came home to C sleeping and E in L’s room in his arts and crafts stuff. Got her re situated in bed and I’m working downstairs monitoring her.

I don't have contact info for the radiologist that did the biopsy.  I left them a message.  My OBGYN won't see the results until they get the dictation report from the radiologist.

I just found soap in her medicine cup so she was also clearly playing in the bathroom. I should have just stayed home.

[jewels]

tgrimes I'm sorry, I just realized how insensitive it was for me to talk about my SIL while you are hear waiting for results. I'm sorry I'm an ass!!!

OMG, no!  You're definitely not an ass!  I was going to post some questions in my reply about your SIL but decided to wait to get my results before I started spiraling.  Lol.

That's frustrating AF tgrimes. I hope the radiologist does their part so you can get some answers!
