Tomorrow I am taking my dad on a brewery tour for his bday, and I am pretty excited, despite not being able to drink. DH and my BIL and SIL are coming also, MIL is watching DS. I think she's pissed she wasn't invited but she doesn't really like my dad so meh.

With my medical history my husband, my doctor and I decided it would be good for me to stop working (any kind of stress is bad for my already compromised immune system) and so this is my last week of work!!! I thought that I would feel a bit sad but I cannot wait to be done! I'll be working all weekend but it'll be my last weekend that I have to work for the foreseeable future! Woohoooo!

I cannot wait to go bowling tomorrow! My son turned 8 yesterday and since it was a school night, we just did dinner and gifts. We are having cake and ice cream tonight and then going bowling, at his request, tomorrow. So much fun!

wildtot

We have an exciting (sarcasm) appointment tomorrow to see if we can refinance. 
Hope to catch up in sleep. DS only woke once last night and DH helped yay! I’ll take it!

We just lost another home because our contract is contingent upon sale of our home. Our offer was actually higher, but since it was contingent they picked the other offer. So we’ve decided to go ahead and list our house, which means this weekend we need to get out some
bulky furniture and get it ready to show. Not looking forward to it at all! I’m also nervous about selling our house before we have another one. I do not want to live in my mother-in-laws basement! 

comealongponds

@powellgirl I do not envy you! We just sold our house and are living with my BIL until our new build is finished next month! Good luck!

wildtot

@powellgirl how stressful! Hope they both happen quickly and you don’t have to go with your mil 

powellgirl

@comealongponds I wouldn’t want to live with my BIL either! I hope you all get along well! We think our house will sell fast, but I’m hoping it will work out that we can sell and buy in the same time frame so we don’t have to live with anyone.

Thanks @wildtot  

SmashJam

@wildtot yay for the help! @busymommy23 I love bowling that sounds so fun!

hillbillywife

@powellgirl best wishes to you. House buying/selling is pretty much a pain. Hopefully everything works out! 

My DD and I caught a stomach bug Thursday night and spent all of Thursday into Friday puking. I’m feeling significantly better now but my back hurts sooo bad from heaving. (Sorry TMI) It’s hard to get moving this morning because I’m so tight. Gonna try a warm shower I think.

@Knottie70796936 congrats on your last week of work. Enjoy the time off!

@powellgirl home buying and selling is such a headache. Best of luck with the showing!

I'm at my wits end. My kid has been crying non stop for an hour and a half. Woke up from his nap cranky and just.wont.stop. I'm sure he's getting sick yet again. I have a huge tension headache and to top it all of my husband is working right now closing shift, then tomorrow opening shift. So aside from being home to sleep from 11 tonight until 6 tomorrow, he'll be gone until 4 tomorrow afternoon. House is a disaster, even my freaking dog is acting sick, what is going on. Oh yay just found out my mom who was here helping this week was throwing up all night last night. 

Sorry rant over, just one of those horrible days where I question if I'm cut out for this whole mom/working mom/wife/adult thing.

Things have been really hard lately. Depression has been hitting and the kids have been rough. DH decided to ask his parents to watch the girls so we can get away for an overnight so we are doing a spa day at a resort today. I SO needed this but I have such a hard time relaxing. Anyone else need to focus on relaxing for it to even partially happen? Makes me feel like such a weirdo that it’s hard for me to enjoy pampering like I should. 

wildtot

@zande2016 oh no I’m sorry! Hope everyone feels better soon!

@LadyJ2949 not a weirdo! I had planned my own weekend getaway in August because i just need time to myself. I had rented out a small cabin in the middle of nowhere. But unfortunately had to cancel because of some last minute surgery. Go for it! Enjoy and your no weirdo. You deserve it!

cseley321

@LadyJ2949 I can't relax at those types of things either. I have never been to a spa experience, but I have had a massage, pedicure, and manicure before. I may lose my woman card, but I hate stuff like that. Give me a full day and overnight with everyone out of the house (so long as i know they are safe!), THEN I can relax

chicxulub

Made my way over to WTE for a bit and I can’t believe how immature that site is. Omg. Grown women trolling each other on different user names. Argumentive know-it-alls. I just couldn’t deal. So that’s over. Lol 7 days worth and I’ve already learned so much. The drama... oh the drama! So unnecessary.

morethanamama

@zande2016 I'm so sorry, that is a lot to handle right now! I hope things calm down soon...
@LadyJ2949 it's definitely not easy to relax sometimes! I'm a little ADD and my brain is constantly going so it's incredibly hard for me to quiet the mind...and I'm a yogi...so yeah, there's that to make you feel a little better!

hillbillywife

@zande2016 this might not be helpful, but I read something that said little kiddos who wake up hard need some protein right after their nap. It helps my DD to have something substantial right after she wakes up. I’m sorry it’s been a rough day. 

@LadyJ2949 I’ve never had a massage or anything but I can see me being totally not relaxed too lol. 

TheQuietThings

@LadyJ2949 I know it is hard and I like Xanax/booze to relax, but you deserve this.   The girls are having fun.   You worked your tail feather off during the holiday season while still being super mom .  deep breaths, so some stretching, try to relax.   

Is there a delicious brunch menu tomorrow?

zombiehoohaa

I should be cleaning...instead I'm laying in bed watching Call the Midwife. #noregrets

morethanamama

@zombiehoohaa I'm on the couch watching project runway!

hillbillywife

@zombiehoohaa call thme midwife is my FAVORITE!

zombiehoohaa

@hillbillywife I'm on season 2. It's such a great show!!!

@kissableviv enjoy it!

Hi ladies. I’ve been mostly lurking lately for some reason. I always intend to interact more but I’ve been struggling with when/where to jump in. Just wanted to put that out there so you ladies know I’m still here for the long haul even though my posts are few and far between. 

zande2016

@hillbillywife the only thing he'll eat lately are yogurt smoothies, which luckily have a good amount of protein. I'm just really confused...he had a low fever last weekend with mild cold symptoms...then he was fine until Wednesday afternoon when he got a high fever and was absolutely miserable. I thought he had the flu but he was fine by the next day, with just cold symptoms and low grade fever on and off. Friday he was fine and went to daycare. Now his fever is back. What the heckkkkk. 

acunamatada

I’ve been really lurkey lately too. @ashbub714

For me it’s a combination of potty training the kid to POOP on the potty #poopwatch2k18, and just generally being in a sour mood I can’t quite shake. Maybe it’s all the shitty pants I’ve had to wash the past couple days. So much poop. 

SmashJam

@acunamatada I'm right there with you. Poop laundry will make anyone sour.

DynamiteTrujillo

I've wondered if I should watch Call the Midwife. I watched a couple episodes years ago and liked it, but I'm afraid if I watch it now, it'll scare me with tv show pregnancy drama - all the TW stuff. Maybe I should give it another go. I love watching/reading things relevant to my life's situation, so it sounds perfect!

The vivid dreams are getting so strange. I can literally remember every second now. Last nights was a weird one. Here’s a short synopsis. 

I’m with the dudes from Big Bang Theory brewing a drink which is basically just combining Champagne and Beer.  Then they ask me to tell them what the constant is (obviously the ratio of Champagne to Beer). So I’m at a black board trying to put together an equation and I realize they’re not using yeast and just combining already made bottle of alcohol bought from the store. 

Then as I get into it I ask them how much they spent on the bottles of alcohol to make their creation and declared this is dumb and you should just brew your own beer cause it’s way cheaper. 

Im not sure what any of this means at all. But it boils to a few things I’m guessing:

1. I watch way too much Big Bang Theory
2. I miss wine
3. Thai food too soon before bed does weird things to my subconscious.

@powellgirl I hope you are able to sell your home and buy a new one soon   we put our house in southern Illinois up for sale 6 months ago and it still hasn’t sold, which has been expensive because now we have to pay for our Canadian and Illinois bills until it sells. Poor house is empty and unwanted. It’s such a nice home but it’s in the middle of nowhere. 

@nimmle lol! I wish my dreams were as entertaining as yours! And you’re not alone, I miss wine too. Soon my friend, soon. 

hillbillywife

@zombiehoohaa I might need to start the show over again! Ive watched it two or three times. I’m waiting for the rest of the new season to air starting in February! Can’t wait! Enjoy!

@zande2016 there definitely are worse thing so to eat lol. I’m sorry he’s feeling not so great. The sicknesses this year are no joke! 

@DynamiteTrujillo I love it! If you’re really sensitive to TW type things then it might not be the best show. But it helps me not over think knowing it was based in a different time period with different medical access and living conditions. 

zande2016

I forgot about call the midwife...I'm gonna go back to that as soon as I'm done with Gilmore girls. 

Just spent two hours cleaning the kitchen and now I'm looking around at the disaster zone that is the rest of my house and wondering if I have the strength. Toys everywhere. Toys and gloves and hats and jackets and shoes and toddler cups and did I mention toys? 

acunamatada

Ugh somehow I managed to hydroplane on the highway on the way to drop DS of at grandmas before work. Spun around 2x before I hit the median and destroyed my poor car. Thankfully we’re all safe, hoping my car isn’t completely totaled 

comealongponds

@acunamatada oh my gosh that’s so scary! I’m glad you guys are okay!

zande2016

@acunamatada so glad everyone is safe! 

wildtot

@acunamatada omg so scary! Glad everyone is ok!! 

hillbillywife

Oh no! @acunamatada I’m so glad you’re all ok! fingers crossed for your car! I’m sure that was SO scary!

cseley321

@acunamatada thank goodness you're okay! How scary
