It's wet and rainy and windy here today. And apparently it's here through the weekend. I had planned on the zoo tomorrow but we may have to rethink that..

My boss is traveling today so I plan on watching netflix and doing the very least.
I have to go switch my mom vehicles at lunch. Since hers is getting repaired and she needs to pick up my boys so she needs my car with the car seats. She was supposed to get off at 3, plenty of time to come get my car and go get them. But then she STUPIDLY agreed to work until 4:30 which leaves her 30 minutes to get to my sitters on time. I'm pissed because her schedule goes out 6 weeks at a time and I asked about this 2 weeks ago. So she knew. They knew. Her boss knew. And she still couldn't just say "no, I have to get my grand kids" I'm volunteering at the food pantry for family pick ups and she's like "well can't they just do it Thursday" Sure mom, I'll tell the hungry families to wait 24 hours because you have to work an extra hour. I was boiling last night. I know it's not a huge deal but that comment just pissed me off sooooo bad.

Morning! Boo November, that means my baby will be 4 in 16 days and that’s not ok. Who’s moving to neverland with me? In other news, H had her last dose of antibiotics for her EI yesterday and woke up with a fever this morning of 101.1. She still has to have the bedtime antibiotics in her system so idk what this is about. I’m just going to monitor her today and see how she is (hopefully the answer isn’t grumpy).

Halloween hangover over here. E went to bed late and really didn't want to wake up. I hope they kids aren't too crazy at school today. I'm sure he will nap the whole time today. I have a meeting this afternoon that I don't want to prep for.

My dad called an electrician last night and the guy said he would be out today. Showed up at 6:45 am. WTF. Who works that early?! He was told no one would be home and to just go on it. I was about to lock the door and call dad flipping out when he called and told me. I'm like uh thanks for the heads up. Some strange man trying to get in the house really freaks you out!

MH checked my tires last night. Then a little while later my tire was flat. Uh..... So he went to an auto parts store and bought a new valve and with the help of youtube fixed my tire. I do not have the money for new tires right now, so dude is very lucky it worked.
I'm tired and sore. I took my last steroid dose yesterday morning. My arm is still sore this morning, but I have full range of motion, so I'll just deal. I am starting to worry it might be related to the enlarged lymph node in my neck, even though the ENT said that it was nothing. Maybe I'm just paranoid....I just feel off lately(physically, emotionally and mentally) and can't pinpoint why.
I hope all the kids had fun last night! MH got pissy when he told the TOTers they could take as many as they want and they took all the Snickers. LOL
It's rainy and muggy here. It is supposed to be 87 degrees today, which mean it is going to be humid and gross. Yay.

peachsmama, I think you need to let it go about your mom. They do a lot to help you guys out and you are super fortunate to have that. My dad would have likely said "I got to work, your kids your issue."

Otherwise it’s 50% off candy day today!

Morning! How are you today tgrimes? I’ve been thinking about you. We had a lot of fun ToT last night. We went with our best friends and their two kids, like we do every year, and then another friend also joined us. Second friend and her dh are going through a not great divorce but agreed to TOT together for their three kids and I think she was grateful to have us as buffets, but there was a few awkward moments. Our neighborhood gets pretty into Halloween and a few houses had haunted houses to walk through. Ryland really wanted to go through one so I went with him, but halfway through he got scared so I carried him. Well, when I bent down and twisted around I think I pinched a nerve in my back. I can barely move my right arm Or twist my neck to the right without shooting pain. Any suggestion besides Tylenol that are pregnancy safe??

Morning!
We ended up changing our TOT plans at the last minute when there was no one out in the condo complex we were planned on going to. One of Moms at the daycare parade had mentioned that they live in a development in town and that it's a great place to go on Halloween, so we ended up doing that. It worked out perfectly! There were tons of families out, so the boys got a true TOT experience. We covered ~10 houses in about 10-15 minutes and that was plenty. Colin was perfectly happy to go home for dinner and see my SIL, who was waiting for us.
Anyhow poor Chase's cold isn't going anywhere and his 2 year molars are coming in and he is PISSED. So much coughing and crying! I feel so badly for him. I also miss sleeping through the night, since his coughing fits keep waking me up. Pass the coffee please!

Morning! We ended up with a whopping 12 ToTers last night. I was hoping for 30 or so, which means we have soooo much candy left. I brought some in to work to get rid of it, but so far I'm the only one eating it. That was not the point, slenle. Stay away from the candy!
So my girlfriend (from the terrible vacation) texted me this morning to go to lunch. We haven't spoke or texted since vacation, but I don't think it's been intentional. I was going to text her today anyway to see if she was going to girls night friday, so it was good timing. I think this is a good way to ease back in to it, lol. Just the 2 of us having lunch, no kids involved.

Morning time.
Just had N's ENT appointment and he recommended tubes (shocking). Said we didn't have to but to expect more abx and he'd want her hearing checked. I am leaning towards canceling our appt at the children's hospital next week just bc he seems good and frankly, I don't feel like schlepping there when this doctor is already recommended. He suggested the week of Thanksgiving to make sure her pneumonia is cleared up.
Otherwise I loved Halloween, I think it's my new favorite. No huge expectations and just fun. We found some neighbors and j ran around with the almost 6 year old - it was so weird seeing him run between houses and being such a big kid.. and his costume was just adorable (not to toot my own horn or anything, ha). He was all excited about the candy and said we could all share the one full sized Hershey bar one time when we all have a good night.
