Made it to work after my dr. appt. This Dr. was great, I really liked him. @lfigge you were right, it's my acid reflux causing the cough. Apparently the medication I've been taking for it is only half of what I need, so new prescription for me. And the lump on my neck (the real reason I went to the ENT in the first place) is a benign lymph node, not a fat pad. Apparently my skin and fat on my neck is so thin that the node is pushing through the muscle making it protrude. He said if it gets bigger or bothers me cosmetically then I can get it removed, but medically it really isn't necessary right now, which is good because I wasn't interested in the whole general anesthesia/hospital visit aspect of it. Had it been a fat pad then he would have been able to remove it there in his office.
I've got a bunch of filing to do today, we have a big acquisition coming in so I need all the little stuff to be done so I can just focus on entering and proofreading the new materials.

klong11, will the lymph node go down though once you are feeling better? I had an instance a few years back where I had one too - it looked like a freaking marble under my skin, it was so obvious! But I was also really run down and had been sick for weeks. It did eventually go away.

yummeecookee, I don't think so. I've had it for several months now. I guess only time will tell, though. It hasn't really changed size at all since it appeared. He didn't think the lump was connected to my cough at all.

He didn't think the lump was connected to my cough at all. How did he determine it was benign? J has one of these and we have been watching it for months. His pediatrician thinks it is just a hard lymph node but she keeps an eye on it.

Morning! Hope everyone had a nice weekend. Slow start to the day because I spent the morning helping former coworker with her resume, linked in page, etc. She's being such a professional about working through the end of the month to transition her projects.

Lazy day so far here. My biggest task is to tackle our basement. It needs to be cleaned and organized. It's also where our cats live the majority of the time so it needs a deep vacuuming.

Congrats yummeecookee! When you went in for your interview, how many people did you meet with? I have a job interview tomorrow. It's the one from last week that was postponed. I'm a bit nervous because I really want this one so I put a lot of pressure on myself. Trying to see it as just a conversation with 4 strangers (yea right). Z is doing great at school. She didn't cry today or Friday at dropoff. And today O's teacher told me that Z was so happy today, like really enjoying herself. I'm so glad that she's starting to like it.

The AC guy came and said our compressor was out so it would be a few days a pretty expensive. It suppose to be back up to 90 tomorrow so I was not happy to hear that. But then he came back 20 minutes later and said he needed to check one more thing. Turns out that's what it was and he had the part so he switched it out. The AC is running and it didn't cost near as much. Whew.

Well that had to be a huge relief, slenle! I wonder how often that happens - techs returning because they kept thinking about a situation and second guessing themselves.

Hi from the pedicure chair! I'm actually "working" right now. Lol. I had to drive to a town 2 hours away to pick up some supplies. The guy I need to talk to is out to lunch. So I had some time to kill. My schedule is off this week because I had to change my days off to accommodate some of Sierra's appointments at the end of the week. We see genetics and neurosurgery on Thursday and Friday. I'm squeezing in a hair cut and color while I'm in town too.

The biggest part of our great purge took place in the basement. It's incredible to have it thinned of so many unnecessary things. We always talk about moving the cat'a litter box down there, but it's the only carpeted area in the house and I think it's easier to clean the litter on a hardwood surface.

It's been hard for me to get on during the weekends lately, so I tend to just read along until Monday.
We had a good weekend. Took the boys (well just S, B just sat in the car seat and was held) bowling with some of S day care friends on Saturday. It was fun, but chaotic.
Yesterday we had a birthday party that he had a blast at. My parents were watching B so I could take S. On the way back I decided to go grocery shopping quickly since it's easier with 1 kid than with 2. I was unloading the groceries and putting them in the fridge and dropped a jar of sauce from our island (higher than a table) onto my big toe. I'm pretty sure I broke it. Pain was the worst, I actually got the sweats and starting to lose my hearing like I was gonna pass out from it. Thankfully my mom was still there so she stayed for another hour while I figured out how to get it together. Needless to say, S got to watch TV the rest of the evening, and dinner was frozen chicken strips and yogurt.
And apparently when I was packing up my pump parts last night I missed one piece so I can't double pump. And I single pumped for 10 minutes and got only an ounce.
Can I start this week over?

Seems to be the best spot that the kids and dog can't get to! Ours is carpeted too, but we luckily have a workroom right at the bottom of the steps with a cement floor!

Oh, and S has a dentist appointment on Wednesday, and I had planned to take the day and get a pedicure and go shopping since I wouldn't get to work till noon anyway. Now I can't do either of these things.
BOOOO...

Congrats on getting everything you wanted yummeecookee! Ouch jewels! That sucks. I did that on my 16th birthday and shattered the bone. It hurt so bad and I screamed so loud people came out of their houses to investigate. Question....do any N13ers live in Laurel, MD? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

C pooped his pants...again... and purposely moved his underwear/shorts so it'd fall on the ground. My dog immediately started eating it (gag) and as soon as I ran over there my dog then ate my lumch! I'm especially pissed about the lunch because I'd already started eating it and it had the exact amount of protein and fat I need to eat for this meal.

HI! I had an unexpectedly busy weekend. It was tax-free weekend here so I was out running errands (read: shopping) this weekend. I got the rest of M's uniforms for school and some things for M2. He's officially out of Newborn and into 3 month. 😢 He's also 1 month old today. Time slow down.
M starts swim lessons today. It's the first time he will have to do it on his own. I'll have M2 in tow so I hope M is agreeable this afternoon and will go in by himself. It will either go really well, or be a shit show.
