Active shooter(s) in Vegas at the Mandalay Bay... the closest hospital is at capacity and only taking life threatening injuries. They’re transporting people by pick up trucks to hospitals. Now they’re reporting shots fired at the front desk of New York, New York. They’re also saying an all black vehicle with wires at the Luxor... this is insane and so freaking sad.

No ladies here in Vegas that I know.
It's such a depressing world out there. I just want to stay in my bubble and not think about any of it.

redandblue - bringing this to monday. the spines are basically calcium deposits if i remember correctly - they will disintegrate by themselves. But it is painful in the mean time. When he's home, have him soak his foot again in vinegar. it helps the sting and breaks it up. The urchins are everywhere in St. Croix - i stopped going in the ocean barefoot and always wore water shoes.

In case you are wondering a giant straw to hide the pill on does not work. I’m fucking over this. I told them that he wouldn’t be able to do this. But of course no one fucking listening to me.

jedi, stop killing yourself over this. remember you are in charge. pick up the phone and call the doctors office and ask for a different drug. let them know you gave it your best shot but he is too young to swallow pills. He is unable to do so and they need to prescribe something else. Doctors don't' want to make your life more difficult - they will work with you.

Unfortunately, his doctor isn’t in on mondays. Planning on leaving a message. We’re at anothed 1.5 hours almost we’ve been trying to get him to take this.

Good morning, ladies.
Nauseated to see the news about Vegas .. It's so difficult to try and live without being in constant fear. I've always said I don't want fear to keep me from doing and experiencing things but it's getting harder and harder to feel comfortable in crowds.

I've got 4 loads of laundry to do and I need to switch out the summer and fall clothes. The mornings are super cold but the afternoons are nice so it's really hard to know how to dress around here.
I wish I had the energy to do something more with these girls. I have a billion activities pinned on Pinterest but have no time to actually do or make anything. Maybe this afternoon I'll go through my boards and pick out a couple easy things to make.

Also, I'm going to vent about H for a second. He was doing good for awhile.. Very helpful and hands on.. Would help me with A or pick up around the house without me asking.. Awesome 👍 but this past weekend he was just a bump on a log and hardly helped at all. We had 2 birthday parties and yesterday we were going to be out of the house all day..I had to plan, prep, and pack everything. When we were at the parties, he didn't lift a finger to help. He could have gotten A a plate of food or sat with her to eat or taken her to the bathroom once or twice... Anything.. Just something to give me a break but nope. Just sat on the couch or ate/got his own food without even thinking A may need something. I was too tired to address it last night with him but I fully intend to bring it up tonight. I was so effing irritated with him.

I have a mom friend from when I was pregnant with C that was at the concert in Vegas. Thankfully, she and her family are okay. As are other people that I know in Vegas. My thoughts went to them immediately this morning when I saw the news and I'm so glad they had already updated on FB. This world is scary.

Yesterday was a pretty low-key day. I had to do a quick grocery run and then took C to a bounce house place with the neighbor and her son. H put K down for her nap and did some cleaning up so we could hang out with the neighbors in the evening (we ended up at their house, but hey, I'll take a jump start on the cleaning). Then we had dinner and played a game over at the neighbors while the kids played. It was definitely the low key day that I was hoping for!

Low key weekend of resting my back and getting some family time in. W has been connected to me by the hip/boob. Usually he's happy to hang with H on the weekends but the last 2 he's been nonstop asking for me and crying when he leaves me. They had fun at the park without me but I'll be happy when W is back to his nursing twice a day and loving hangout time with his dad.

DH is in Vegas for a conference less than a mile from the shooting. He texted early this morning to say he's fine. I'm so glad he let me know before I saw it on the news and freaked out.
This is so tragic. Our lawmakers need to get their heads out of their asses and change our gun laws so this doesn't happen anymore. What is it going to take?

Never got him to take it. I did not like who I became when trying to get him to take this. I am so frustrated right now.

jedi, what happens if he doesn't take it today? I would leave a message for your doctor but also call the nurse line and let them know you really need an answer today or a new prescription. The doctor might not be taking patients but he might be working - you know paperwork and stuff. I've had doctors who were "off" respond to me in the past.

The doctor might not be taking patients but he might be working - you know paperwork and stuff. I've had doctors who were "off" respond to me in the past. Nothing major will happen. They will likely struggle with a lot of impulsive behaviors and not being able to sit still. He won’t be able to focus or listen. The good news is it seems like the previous medication he was on quit working so it’s likely they won’t notice much of a difference at all. I left a message with the on call doctor but I am 99.9% sure they can’t help me. When I needed them to fill a different prescription (this was when he was taking a stimulate and stimulate medications can’t be sent to the pharmacy. Must take physical copy) they wouldn’t do it. They made me wait. I thought IF this medication was somehow available in liquid (she had said some extended release medications are available as liquid but are pricey) then they could maybe prescribe it. I called the pharmacy and it’s is only available in pill form. At least I didn’t waste 14 dollars on a pill straw I know won’t work. We found a regular straw that was wide enough for the pill to fit but didn’t work. He thinks he’s going to choke. But swallows other things bigger than that whole.

Morning. I'm having a hard time with the Vegas shooting. That's the hotel I was just at last month. It's really hitting close to home (especially coming off what happened in my city this weekend). So horrific.

avocadotoast I just caught up on the news after dropping the older kids at preschool. It is horrifying. I am so sad for the victims, and for our country that we continue to have these things happen. It's terrible thinking about all the families that are getting calls this morning that their loved ones were killed. I am so grateful that my H was able to call me to say he's okay.

Yes, so many victims. I can only imagine the chaos and fear and heartbreak. I'm so glad your husband contacted you and that he's okay.

aydee glad your H was able to contact you. So sad. I was so worried about my family in Vegas. My cousin was posting “prayers for Vegas” so I was sure her family was all safe but asked anyways. Thankfully they are all ok. My cousins son (also my cousin i guess) had friends at the concert. So sad and terrifying
