I promised Josie we would make popcorn balls this morning. I'm already regretting this sticky decision. We have dance and school (the fire trucks are coming today!) And then Charlie and I have some diapers and wipes to pick up at bru.

I am home with T today. We got a text yesterday that there were 3 cases of Croup in his class. I thought "good thing this is my kid who doesn't get Croup." He woke up with the cough around 5 and started screaming "help fever!" He's only had 1 fever ever and doesn't have one now but I guess he didn't know how to say he didn't feel good. I had a super long day yesterday and my stomach isn't happy with the antibiotics so it's probably good for me to be home too.

Morning. J is singing away in her crib, so I should probably get up.
For a while B was waking up MOTN asking me to come tuck him in, he hates the normal blanket on his bed and just uses an A&A dream blanket. Well, I tricked him and bought a warm duvet, for the inside of his duvet cover, and before i go to bed I make sure it's pulled up on him. He's so warm and cozy now that he's been sleeping all night and to about 7.30am. Parenting is part trickery.

I was thinking they would probably be the size of clementines. That seems manageable. I was also going to put them on popsicle sticks so you have something to hold onto.

Just finished making pancakes and bacon for breakfast and am about to put C down for her nap. It’s another hot, rainy day here in FL, er Virginia. Not delightful. I think I’ll take the kids to the trampoline park later this morning.
On a bright note: DH said they’re taking a break from flight ops this weekend to see if the army and other agencies can get this stuff done without them. If yes, they’ll start looking at dates to come home. My fingers and toes are crossed that the army and other agencies prove competent.

I hope everyone is feeling better soon, kim22 . GL with your dog, mwhip . I hope they're able to fix that paw up quickly.

And I just called H's dr office about his scripts. The nurse said my dad can pick up the scripts for me, with his ID (he's also a patient of theirs and personally knows the receptionist). My dad lives about 10 minutes from their office, and has E today, so it's much more convenient for him to grab them, then for me to drive 45 minutes to pick them up, then 45 minutes back to work. I almost cried.

A teacher I work with got hurt at work pregnant and ended up delivering at 29 weeks. She was paid on it. Thanks for the heads up! I put a call into the workman's comp lady yesterday and, of course, she didn't answer. I was really wondering about if this would qualify.

FB reminded me with a video that 3 short years ago Cadence started walking. UGH, those are the types of memories I love/hate. Her and her diaper butt waddling around my house. I also like to see all the comments my Dad made on pretty much everything I posted. It't Thursday, I'll be crying all day. When does this get easier?

He would have been crushed to miss it. He talked about it all night.
