tgrimes I'm really sorry poor girl is sick again. I was thinking the same thing klong11 mentioned because I've heard of that before but don't have any personal experience. Or I was wondering if it's reflux. Either way I hope the docs take you seriously and get to the bottom of it soon. peachsmama that sounds awful. I hope the water gets fixed soon. We have a cistern. So we literally ran out of water lol. And the truck we use to haul it, wouldn't start. And it Ran fine yesterday. So dh had to get his dads truck, hook up a trailer, use the bobcat to load the tank and then haul water. Normally takes 3 hours to do 3 loads and that'll last a month if we get some rain. It's been 3 hours and we have one load..

tgrimes I also researched CVS for a bit when S was puking a ridiculous amount on and off for so long. In our case it turned out her shunt had quit working and the fluid building up on her brain was the reason for it. Obviously that’s not M’s issue, but I would definitely keep record of it and if it continues this week you may want to see about getting her into a pediatric gastroenterologist. Could be CVS, could be something gastric related. But definitely frustrating for you I’m sure to see your sweet girl getting sick so much.

Would magic eraser work in my leather couch? M drew on it with marker... I’m way late but if it hasn’t come out yet, what about leather wipes? I think Weiman makes them, I get them at Bed Bath and Beyond. Also, you can buy conditioning cream online in a variety of colors if the dye from the leather lightens while you’re cleaning. We got some for our cocktail ottoman recently and it looks brand new.

tgrimes DD had a stomach virus thing the summer before she started kindergarten. It was 6 weeks of some vomiting but mostly diarrhea. The boys got it too but for like 3 days. I took her 3 times to the pediatrician and once to the ER. No one did anything, labs were clear. They kept saying she must have picked it up by swimming in a lake. She's never been in a lake (and never will be since the doctor's all insisted a lake caused it.)

Morning. Ds is still sick, so my plan to go to my sister in Amsterdam by train fell trough (it’s her birthday). Dh watched the kids so I could go. My other sister had planned to visit a museum in the afternoon but skipped it in lieu for a stroll into town with me and dd, I was really glad that I could spend a little extra time with her! Pizza on the menu tonight, with lots and lots of cheese. Can’t wait!

The party went really well. T loved it. Just told DS1 he's going to an orthodontist for the first time tomorrow. That didn't go so well.

My ILs stopped by to talk about the Murphy bed FIL is going to build for our guest room. I need to decide whether to have it fold out the long way or the short way. The room isn't big so there's no real good answer. But I so want to turn it into a playroom ASAP so I need to figure it out...

Also everyone here is sick, even Col has a cough. My swollen lymph node is slightly less swollen, I think. But we also seem to have some mild GI thing going on, too. We're just gross over here.

I'm in the middle of an energy spurt. I rearranged Cs room, organized his books, and tidied up everywhere. I also put up the Christmas lights but won't turn them on for a couple of weeks. I figured while I was on the ladder to take down Halloween stuff, I may as well. I want to put my tree up but I'm holding back.

I also want to send some love to our TX ladies. I hope none of you were immediately affected by the shooting but being so close must be incredibly scary. Love you all!

Now I think I want to get Cadence one of those giant LOL balls. I'll have to keep my eye out whenever I'm at target, see if I can't snag one.

inthekitty what was the magic age again? They turn into angels as they blow out their candles on their 4th birthday, right? I'm going out of my mind over here and mh is useless at bedtime.

Anyone else's N13s totally pressing the boss barrier? Cadence straight up laughs in my face or gets up in my face and says no when I tell her to go to her room for bedtime. If we are talking to her she starts clapping and singing so that we know she is ignoring us. She gives zero fucks about getting things taken away and timeout is laughable. I'm trying to stick to my guns, but I'm on the verge of losing it with her, especially since it is every single night. I'm sure the neighbors think we are torturing her the way she screams and cries during bedtime. No, we are just trying to get her to sleep. Oh, and she says she loves bedtime.

You could try ordering ship to store. They are sold out online and it says stock is limited, so they can't ship to store. It's not really a must have type of thing, but if I see one I'll get it.

I really wish I could take tomorrow off. I just want to spend some time by myself after all the family time and party. But I'm taking Thursday off to be with MH so I guess that will have to do. I also need to get back on my diet and workout routine.

klong11 your description sounds exactly like what the teacher said at conferences about E 2 weeks ago. He really isn't like that normally so I couldn't help but laugh. She did mention that it seemed like many of the kids started acting that way in the last month. I think it was part growth spurt and part "wonder week". It took a few weeks but I think we are over it now for the most part. I hope the same of C.

Sunny41 she's an angel at school. I think I need to.start focusing more on positive reinforcement, rather than punishment for the negative behavior. She has the type of personality that if you push, she will push back even harder. Strong willed....well, and just plain strong.

How's you back, peachsmama? So many sick kids on the board today. Hope you can get some answers, tgrimes. It's so frustrating when they can't tell you what's going on.

We had Dude's party today. It was at a park and we almost got rained out but it let up about an hour before everyone was due to arrive and I think a good time was had by all.
I'm so wiped out.
Oh, and Amazon Fresh is canceling service in my zip code. Now I'm going to have to haul my pregnant ass and shortly thereafter 3 kids to the grocery store?!
It's inhumane.
