Dinner was the same as every other night. A battle. Hasn’t had medication since yesterday afternoon. I’m pretty sure it only suppresses appetite for a few hours. Like when the benefits of the meds stop the side effect stops.

Ok, so, girlonabike, Vivint as a whole kind of sucks. We use them for our security and their customer svc is not good. But in the long run vivint is not as good for solar because you won't own them at all until 20 years is up. You also won't get any of the government grants issued towards them, Vivint will. We found a local company that was able to give us more panels than what we actually needed right now (but would need in the future). Vivint won't give you extra panels so this didn't help us because we plan to add an extension, a pool, a detached garage, etc. More things that will use electric. *You can add more panels with Vivint in the future if needed, but the additional panels will have to start a whole new 20 year loan in addition to your existing one. Vivints installation isn't as clean as what some others can do. You see a lot of the PVC pipes/conduits running down the house with them. H is very particular about the aesthetics. We technically own our panels right now. We took out 2 loans through a company they use called enerbank. The one loan was to get the job going, the contractor, etc. The other loan was for the panels. We then got one loan worth paid back to us through a grant in our tax return that had to be paid to the loan within one calendar year. The outstanding loan is lumped into our electric bill. So every month our electric bill is $187. Our actual electric bill is $11 and the difference is the loan payment. It stays that amount all year long, through summer and everything. I think I covered the big things.. I rambled a little. Blame it on the cold meds

Betweenthelines, if you were able to go back and do things differently, what would you do? Go with a different company altogether? Buy rather than lease?

Betweenthelines, if you were able to go back and do things differently, what would you do? Go with a different company altogether? Buy rather than lease? Well we didn't end up using vivint for our solar, only home security. We used a smaller local company for our solar and honestly, I wouldn't change anything. I think we would've really regretted it if we went with Vivint for solar.

Grocery shopping, football and relaxing today.
Yesterday E skipped nap, fell right to sleep. This makes me feel like he could do without his nap but I don’t want to give it up already. My magical unicorn (S1) napped until like 4.5 and still falls asleep during the day at times. FWP right?

We had fun at this jazz fundraiser last night. I think I have a slight hangover. DH let me sleep in, so I'm hiding in my room listening to M trying to convince DH for a candy, going around saying 'trick or treat' lol. Today we need to clean and finalize our appliance purchase.

jedi, I very much prefer when my E does not nap. He was asleep by 8:15 last night! I can't handle the 10:30 bedtime thing.

If I had doubt that the medicine was working... that doubt is gone. My child will not sit still. In the last 2 hours he’s maybe sat for a total of 5 minutes.

When he is up late, he’s not fussy or anything. Just hanging out. I would love to try to skip the nap during the day to avoid the 10pm bedtime, but I'm not the one who has her during the day. I think my sister needs a break in the daytime.

Bless my H's heart but I may be just a little worried about him.. he offered to make me breakfast yesterday morning so I said I wanted to try some eggs. He looked petrified and said I will have to walk him through it .... You can't scramble eggs, dude?! .. ok... It's fine.. I'll make them myself (oh and enough for him and A as well). Then this morning, I was feeling very yucky and weak so I asked him to peel and cut an apple for A... Ladies, I wish I had a camera for how he was trying to peel this apple. You would have thought we was whittling away at a stick. So I told him it may be easier to slowly pull the peeler down toward him and rotate the apple at the same time and he just didn't get it. So I took it from him and showed him and he managed the bottom half of the apple. Then he goes to cut it and instead of cutting slices around the core, he hacks right into it, leaving core and seeds on all of the pieces 🙈 so I showed him how to put the piece on it's side and slice at an angle to get the core out. It sounds like I was micromanaging but I swear I was just nervous for his well being. He is such a smart guy (software engineer and program developer) that I was astonished at his short coming.

taketheshot- I laughed so hard at that story, my incision is now hurting. lol... I’m sorry you’re in so much pain. I would definitely take both the ibuprofen and the pain meds.

jedi- I haven’t kept up lately, but is DS1 still afraid he’s going to throw up? I know that with my DS1,throwing up would have had the effect on him. I’m sorry you’re struggling... parenting is hard enough, but when you throw in all this other stuff, it’s overwhelming. Let me know if you ever want to talk.

It’s so nice to be home. I was a wreck in the hospital, I had so much anxiety about Jack and Worm was having constant meltdowns and insisting on FTing me, which just led to so much guilt on my part for not being there with her. Not sure when I last updated, but they ended up releasing us even though Jack had lost more than 10% of his birthweight abs hadn’t started gaining anything or even holding much down. They did abdominal X-rays on Friday and there was no obstruction and he finally had a couple wet diapers, so they released us. We have an appointment with his pediatrician tomorrow morning and I’m feeling pretty good about Things. He’s holding more down and owes and poops all the time. I feel like he’s always sleeping though and I don’t remember if this is normal. H has stepped up (he did with Worm too). He’s doing pretty much everything. I’ve changed 2 of Jack’s diapers (he’s 5 days old) and only 1 of Allison’s. He did meal planning for the next week and a half and the shopping.

mrspiatt honestly, yes. I think so. I think he’s afraid he’s going to throw up. In June, he went to my parents and threw up twice for no reason. I’m really hoping that the therapist can get something out of him. I found out a few weeks ago that he’s still hearing voices in his room. I plan to bring this up to the doctor too. Today eating was a little better. I’m glad H has stepped up and that you guys are home. Fx for a good appt tomorrow

Had a great time this weekend, but man I'm tired.
I want to respond to everyone, but I just don't have the energy. Really looking forward to only working 2.5 days this week.
