The little Miss was up for the day at 5:30. Alllllll the coffee. I'm crossing my fingers that my inlaws will have enough room in the car to take us down to the shore early or else this day is going to drag. I hope all the little sickies and under the weather babies are in the mend judyblume14, ellabee, and carrots

Thanks Lakes. M was miserable all morning yesterday but was totally fine after 1pm so I'm glad I didn't leave work to get her. Hoping your kiddos start improving judyblume14 & ellabee! We're heading to the zoo with my MIL this morning and my childhood best friend is coming by this afternoon to meet M. This evening we're hosting a happy hour for the families in our neighborhood with 2017 babies. We have 9 families confirmed and 8 maybes so I'm feeling a little overwhelmed but excited to see so many friends.

My kids are asleep but I am up. We are having a morning thunderstorm and my dog is freaking out. She doesn't sleep in my room but when I heard the thunder I brought her in but now she is keeping me awake. On the agenda today is a grocery pickup and cleaning the house for my brother and kids to come over while they are in town moving my oldest nephew down.

Ugh. So much to complain about today. Trying to be positive.... B is home with me with a fever. DD was able to go into school, but had an epic meltdown at drop off because she realized B was going to stay home with me. She also took her pull-up off in the motn and peed in her bed so I have to do an extra load of laundry today. I put off my cleaners because I wasn't sure if I'd have 2 sick kids at home so I'm not getting my clean-house mental therapy. I haven't been productive at work for 3 days because of sick kids. Combine that with zero sleep and the fact that I'm solo parenting tomorrow again and I'm just about beat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

ellabee, sounds like a rough day in the Bee home. Hope B starts to feel better and that her fever comes down. Lakes and carrots (glad LO was fine by afternoon) - A is better, whew! After her spiked temp Tuesday night, I workd from home yesterday so I could nurse all day. She woke up without a fever, and was fine this morning, too. So, she's at daycare. I, on the other hand, have the splittingest of splitting headaches. I only slept 4 hours last night, and went to the gym at 6 on an empty stomach. And it's HOT out. I just scarfed down and egg and cheese sammy and will be hitting up the advil if i don't feel better in a few minutes.

@ellasmom, breathe. Count to 10, close your eyes and meditate for a minute. I see nothing there that you have any control over, just go with it and soon enough it will be over. *hugs* J'17, help me girl. I'm not very good at it. I have this dress These shoes What would be acceptable on my legs? Like, can I wear white leggings with them? We're going to a wedding and that just doesn't seem formal enough. But my legs are beat up from softball. Someone told me people don't wear pantyhose anymore? I suck at being a woman. Seriously

pibblemom Team No Leggings. It's hot out. I'm not a fashionista but I think that's fancy enough for a wedding! I bruise easily so that wouldn't bother me.

I'm irrationally upset they changed the Canadian Mountie outfit on this tv show I'm watching. The pants now have that puff on the side of the butt which I guess is more authentic but please bring back the straight leg pants of season one, they were much nicer to stare at. The butt puffs are distracting and not in a fun way.

pibblemom, please do not wear white (or any) leggings under that dress. I'm not up on what the kids wear these days... but I'm pretty sure it's NOT leggings with that ensemble... to a wedding.

I didn't think so, but I did this 2 weeks ago and it's still not healed It's not as bad as that but it's scabby and scaly. I'll lotion it up today and see if it helps.

pibblemom, coconut oil that baby up! And if you're worried for the wedding maybe just put some powder on it? Lol at me giving makeup advice. I went to fil's fancy retirement party in February (2 weeks after dd!) with no tights. People on the street were looking at me funny. I said the same thing to mh, I didn't think pantyhose was cool! But I guess tights/stockings kind of are but only in the winter? Whatever random strangers, I'm from the north! This isn't cold. Behold my bare legs!

#teampastybruisedscrapedlegs it is then! Let me see what I can do with shaving and coconut oil to make these girls presentable Plus the old saying: if you're not the bride, no one will be looking at you! In most cases I agree with that completely. However this is the 2nd wedding for both of them and C is the ONLY baby girl in a family of boys. She has literally been the center of attention at every family gathering we've been since she was born. Including another baby's shower 🙄 Edit: but even if she gets the attention, I'm just the accessory holding her 😂😂

Ok, guys, I have a story for you that will kind of explain my absence. Not looking for hair pets or anything, but wanted to loop y'all in.
TL/DR: They found a golf-ball size tumor in my husband's brain last Thursday and my Fri wish is for him to get the fack out of the ICU. He's okay.
I can't remember if I've mentioned at all that MH has been having these crazy headaches and nausea since about March that have been getting progressively worse. Recently he had been spending whole weekends in bed and I've been solo parenting on top of crazy work. I was convinced he had PPD or maybe migraines brought on by the stress of the new baby. He had a really bad episode over July 4 weekend, which prompted them to schedule an MRI last Thursday, and the found the tumor.
It's a benign, slow-growing tumor that he has likely had since birth. They operated on Saturday and removed everything, and they don't think it will ever cause him a problem again. He's recovering *mostly* well, but he has been having occasional periods of vomiting and some other stomach issues and they won't let him out of the ICU until these things resolve. It's been an exhausting couple months, but this has just been unreal with the back and forth to the hospital and juggling visiting hours and the kids etc. My 2 year old has been kind of a mess lately and freaks out any time something reminds him of daddy. Ugh.
I am super thankful everything is going to be okay but man I am ready to get the fuck out of the hospital. And I need a day off.

Holy shit rinny. I'm glad his surgery went well and hope his remaining symptoms clear up soon. I can't even imagine the stress of handling this and two littles. All the positive and healing thoughts for you and your family ❤️

Oof ellabee. That is so much on your plate. I really hope it lets up soon. Hang in there! pibblemom rock the bruises! No to leggings and if you can't handle bare legs, I think panty hose would be a better option.

Oh rinny how scary! I'm so glad to hear he's going to be ok but that sounds so stressful. It sounds like you're doing an amazing job holding down the fort. Hoping he can be home soon and his recovery continues!

Oh rinny I cannot even imagine. I'm so glad the tumor was benign and they were able to remove it. I'm so sorry for the stress, you are a rockstar. Do you have friends or family that can hold the fort down for you for even an hour or two?
