I have a billion phone calls to make but I know as soon as I start the doctor will call and I’ll miss it.
We are going to keep practicing in the evening with swallowing tic tacs and eventually pills but I’m not going to try did the actual pill anymore. It sounds like the medication worked yesterday. He was calm and able to participate. Today I had him chew food, spit it out to see that it’s actually bigger than the pill and put the pill in the chewed food and told him to pick it up and swallow it. He refused. I tried to talk to him about it. It’s afraid of choking and he’s afraid he’ll never see me again if he takes it. We live about 5 miles from Prince (the singer) house and Isaac always asks about his house and him when we drive by. We’ve been vague with details for his very reason (him not wanting to take medication because Prince took medicine and died) but my gut is telling me thats were some of this is coming from. We haven’t talked about Prince in months so I don’t remember what we told him. But he was asking lots of questions when we’d drive by and there’d be a ton of people there and balloons and signs etc.

Funny story. So a lady was selling these supperhero things on our online garage sale fb site. I decided to purchase them. I had to stop at the bank for cash but the ATM wouldn't give me the exact amount i needed. No problem. I can just stop at the gas station to grab a coffee and get change that way. I get my coffee and go to pay and they tell me that I don't need to.. that the coffee is on the house. I said... actually i need change which is why i was buying coffee. So they gave me change and still didn't charge me for the coffee! So funny!

Pizzaslut I'm so glad the ultrasound went well! I hope you start sleeping better. Glad j is sleeping though. jess213 what a terrible call to get. I know it won't be a fast recovery but I hope your mother makes a full revovery. jedi, RunsforWineandCarbs, and so many others I am so sorry for your worries, your losses, and your fear. I do not recognize this world of mass shootings being so frequent and getting worse. avocadotoast I recently saw Tom Petty on his last tour. I cried when I read that he passed. There have only been a few celebrities that hit me hard and he is definitely one.

Thanks for the well wishes all. She's actually supposed to be released today! She'll be in a neck brace for at least 3 months and really can't do anything. No stairs, no lifting, no bending, etc. I reached out to one of her friends and she's going to coordinate a meal train to help them out. And in a few weeks, once she and my dad have settled into a routine, I'm going to run some freezer meals down and stay for a weekend to clean/help out. It's not much, but it's what I can do between DS in school and DH's long hours.

Thanks for your response on my post jedi... I’m too exhausted debate anything with these people. I went to bed last night knowing the people that were going to comment and just hoping they’d unfriend me instead... That’s my Aunt, my entire family is insane... all passengers on planes should carry guns? Did you see that part????? They get crazier and crazier by the day.

Went and met with the daycare people at lunch and paid the deposit. Ahhh such a relief!!! It's a nice place! 1 down, 1 to go.
DS will be a little more tricky with the day on day off kindergarten BS.

Jury selection was interesting. I was sworn in and am under oath so that's about all I can say at the moment. I do know what case they are selecting for, I know when the case will be tried, and the expected length of it. I will find out if I've been selected for further questioning or as a juror the first quarter of next year...
So until then I've done my civil duty as an american...

And I'm tired. I'm an emotional mess about this shooting. My heart is breaking for the victims and their loved ones.

RunsforWineandCarbs I feel similarly. I'm having a hard time talking about it, but also having a hard time that so few people around me seem to be talking. It's so heartbreaking, I feel helpless to make a difference. So I'm holding onto trying to raise a compassionate child who can in turn make the world a little kinder.

jedi- did you get to talk to the doctor today? Finally at like 430! We are trying a new liquid med and going to try to work on swallowing tic tacs but I told s1 we’d take a few days off. The liquid wasn’t available at the pharmacy here and I didn’t feel like driving in traffic to the nearest pharmacy that had it (30 mom drive) so H is going to get it after work tomorrow. It’s about 10 min or less from his work. What’s weird, is they do have the same medication we’ve been trying but he’s need3 doses a day and we’d have to crush the med. I think we could make that work but they wanted to try this. I do trust her and love her as a doctor. So we’ll see.

I am drained. Between Vegas, the guy that killed himself at H's work last night and the rumor that the depot near my house had received a threat (found out later that was false information) my stomach was in knots all day.

Also, I am going to put a plea out! If anyone is interested in joining my Usborne books party tomorrow on Facebook, let me know. Even if just to play games and possibly win some books. :-)

The world is a very scary place right now. I feel that if I am going to give information to my LO about all this scary shit, there needs to be a balance in how much is given and how it is explained. I think some more basic terms like 'ggod guy/bad guy' can be tricky, because little ones can be very concrete and over generalize the concept (ie/ bad guy shoots people or he doesn't eat his broccoli). It's such a difficult situation. I also feel it is somewhat dependent on your own child, knowing what they can and can't handle.
I hate that it's something that needs to be discussed. I am truly heartbroken for all those families impacted by this horrific tragedy.

jedi- I hope it works... med changes were always so nerve wracking with DS. FX the liquid does it’s thing and you guys can just take a break from trying to get him to swallow pills. 5 is still pretty young.

If money is the same see who has better closing terms (do you want out quick or a long time to move out) and who is asking for more extra stuff. Or play them off eahother to bump the offer up! So I got home from late work meeting and we had a chance to talk to our agent. We have two more people scheduled to come through tomorrow (waiting for Thursday's people to see if they want to view tomorrow as well). Our agent has gotten in contact with both offers and seeing to extended the expiration time to tomorrow at 8 pm, and also let them know there are two offers on the table to see if they will come back with better offers before us even having to make decisions! Lol. My hope is that tomorrow night we will have 5 offers to consider. Thankfully both offers have accepted our closing date and a couple other things. I'm excited and hoping that it may all be wrapped up by the end of the week!
