I just spent the last 10 min sobbing in my kitchen. I am certain we aren't going to win this OT battle. Latest update is that the only option left to see if my husband's company will change the policy. Laughable in my opinion. I'm sure they will be eager to change it. #sarcasm
I called OT to see what the out of pocket option is and it sounds like it might not be an option because of our outstanding balance even though we make regular payments towards it. They don't want our balance to get to high.
We are pretty much out of options. He'll get OT at school but private OT is what made the difference.
While I was on the phone Ethan threw his bowl of cereal/milk at me and about 10 min after that shoved my coffee cup off the coffee table.
I'm suppose to meet my moms club for a park play date but I don't want to do or go anywhere.
While I was crying S1 found me and asked why I was crying. When I didn't answer he handed me a tissue and said "are you crying because I'm going to go to kindergarten on 12 days?" Which made me laugh. Then he says, "if you still have boogers I have another tissue" then he said things like "breath mommy. It will be ok" he also gave me a hug. Love that kid. But makes me more sad. I feel like I've failed him.

Happy Friday! Wife is taking Jake to get his hair cut this afternoon bc she gets half day Fridays in the summer. I'll meet them for dinner. I ran to TJ Maxx on my very early lunch and got an outfit for Jake's pictures that's VERY similar to last years. Oops. Basically the same shirt but tan pants vs jeans. 😂

Hugs jedi you're definitely not failing your ds1, you're an amazing mom. I'm so sorry for all of the stress you've been dealing with. It's too much and I hope you're able to get a day away soon to recharge.

And I went to go pee and Ethan threw my tablet. It broke. There was a protective case arriving tomorrow. Guess I can send it back

jedi, as for the shower thing...I shower every day. Not showering isn't really an option for me (stinky European genes!). But I also wear a shower cap about half the time because I have so.much.hair. and dealing with it is a pain in the butt. I'm getting some cut/layered out tomorrow so that always helps a lot! And about the OT...you are a great mom! You are working so hard for this. You will get him the best you can, I know it.

jedi - Hugs mama! You aren't failing him. Any chance that you have a warranty on the tablet?

HIIIIIII!
I have the worst headache and cannot take my usual mix of medicine (sudafed and advil), so here I sit, suffering. Also, J was up at 4:45. Not cool.
Otherwise, I'm excited for the weekend. J is staying with my parents Saturday-Monday!!! H and I are going to an Indians game tomorrow and then who knows. We were going to get a hotel, but since I can't drink, I figured we would save the $200+ and I'll just drive home. I told him to pick out places he wants to eat on Saturday and Sunday though since we won't have the kid. I'm excited to actually sleep in!

We took the kids to their first MLB baseball game last night. We all had fun and the kids lasted until the 6th inning before they decided it was boring. That's a lot longer than I was expecting so I consider that a win. Baseball is really big here so it was nice to expose them to it. The highlight of the night though was riding the metro train to and from the game. DD1 has been asking to ride it for at least a year now so this was a good opportunity to indulge her. The kids were so excited!

I bought dry shampoo a while back, but apparently I've been doing it wrong. I have been putting it on in the morning. I will have to try the night time trick.

We had our appointment this morning for flooring. 3 hours and I have 10 sample board that I have brought home. Honestly not sure if I like any of them. Sigh. Feels like such a difficult decision to make.

Feels like such a difficult decision to make. This is why I could never build a home. Way too many choices and decisions. I would constantly second-guess myself!

Feels like such a difficult decision to make. Are you doing hard wood? We just did upstairs in the spring and we will do downstairs in a couple of weeks! We did pre engineered and sort of a medium-dark color. I think 3 inch upstairs and downstairs we decided to mix the widths to make it a little interesting!

More dry shampoo questions.
Should I ease myself into this? And start by once or twice a week?
Avid sweaters... I sweat a lot when I workout sometime. Like my hair is dripping in parts. Makes me feel weird about sweaty hair and not washing

Same, but if it's just around your hairline, take a little water to it and dry it quick. Then dry shampoo after it's dry if you need.
