klong11 imho probably never. I cry. A lot. Such sweet moments and memories. ETA just wanted to add that I'm so sorry, this must be so hard. I cannot imagine life without my parents...

margaerytyrell, I would def. look into workman's comp. At least to pay for the hospital bills and days you missed at work.

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? I don't that this will help the crying.. but I always loved reading your dads comments. I think of him and you everytime my grandma comments on something. Such proud grand parents. She always tells everyone who they are "These are my great grandsons, they love dinosaurs. I love them so much!" Oh shit. Now I'm crying.. I'm going to miss those comments.

I'm sorry klong11, grief definitely has a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it. Hugs, friend

Yay! Talk to your union rep about filing a workman's comp claim. 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. Hopefully workman's comp will work out and you'll also get to go home today!

I'm not sure if it ever gets easier. I think your coping skills just improve. It will always be hard and you'll probably always be grieving because of the close relationship y'all had. Big hugs to you.

I keep trying to respond to your comment, @klongoria, but I keep tripping over my words. I hate that you're going through this. It sucks, and I'm sorry. Hugs to you!

I took H for his flu shot yesterday afternoon. It was just with the nurse so I didn't think we'd have to wait very long. 50 min later, he got the shot. He didn't even flinch so that was good. M had to have a lollipop on the way out even though we weren't there for her.

Atticus had 2 hash browns and a big bowl of grapes, now he's working on an enormous cinnamon roll before he heads off to school. Hope this doesn't mean he will hardly eat lunch at all.

The mattress topper helped! S slept through her normal first wake up (she woke up 2 more times after that still so not a complete success). She stayed in her crib all night too. I hope nap goes the same, yesterday she only napped for like 30-45mins I’m the crib (I’m not 100% sure because I only have a general idea of when she fell asleep and woke).

Sending hugs, klong11 and peachsmama. Grief is so hard, plus it's in no way linear and can sneak up on you when you least expect it.

At work. My sinuses have turned on me and my head feels like it's about to explode.. Going to get some of those nasal swab things on my lunch so I can hopefully breath out of my nose sometime soon. The boys are all stuffy too.

I'm at work. J called out today and since S is on vacation and K is pulled to his real team I'm all alone. Please pray for me.

@klongoria big hugs first off. It's hard for awhile and different people go at different paces. I still cry when I see a letter from my grandma or something she wrote to me on facebook. While it's hard I rather have it remind me then forget the memories.

Thanks guys! I feel like I'm completely overwhelmed, I almost cried as I was leaving the house this morning. I might have thought about getting in my Jeep and just driving forever, but only had 2 bars of gas, so I wouldn't have gotten very far.
Paige has an infection in her toe. The tech and vet both asked how long her paw has been in the condition it is...I have no idea, I didn't even notice it. I feel like such an asshole. She is now on antibiotics and an anti-inflammatory and I need to try to soak her paw in epsom salts. Uh, sure, I'll get right on the salts.
When I took her home, H wouldn't stop talking about the pain, that he just wants a few minutes with no pain, then he started crying again.
I plan on drinking wine at work before I leave today...even if I drink by myself, although I know I can get someone to join me!

margaerytyrell so glad that baby is staying put for a bit longer! @klongoria big hugs! vino trickery for the win!! I do the same with S. She hates covers if she’s awake...but I go in after she’s asleep and cover her up snug as can be.

mwhip I’m so sorry. You have a lot on your plate right now. The role of the caregiver is never easy. Especially when your also working full time, parenting, and doing everything else.

mwhip I'm so sorry. Big hugs! If I lived near you I would come over and help. Do you have anyone to sit with your husband for a little bit so you can do a target run or something
