I had forgotten how sucky it is

to be sick and be a SAHM.

I haven't been sick in awhile, and when I had been it had been when my husband was home on the weekend.

Migraine + stomach bug + loud and chatty toddler who gets into everything and asks why every 3 seconds = misery

Related, but WTH is with my almost-3-year old talking non stop?  It isn't remotely quiet here unless he is sleeping.   I don't remember him always being this talkative.  If he's not talking, it's a car noise.

Re: I had forgotten how sucky it is

  • LOl, just wait 'til you get KTFU and can't seem to get off the couch for weeks!  I thought I was going to have to send DS away for a trimester or two! 

    I was just telling MH this morning before E woke up to enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts because soon he'd be awake for the day and he does NOT shut up!  It's mind numbing.

  • I'm sorry you're feeling bad. It totally sucks having to SAH with a crazed toddler when you're under the weather. It always seems to work that P and I end up sick at the same time, so I know your pain.

    And, ditto the non-stop talking. Seriously, P does not shut up.

  • Mind numbing is the perfect way to describe it!  Ahhh.

    And yes, getting KTFU is probably going to coincide with Jackson taking an extended vacation to his grandmother's house.  LOL... I kid, but it sounds kind of nice.

    I do get some peace if I turn on Thomas & Friends, but that is equally mind numbing and irritating in its own way.

  • I can relate to the non-stop talking.  Eric has been like that since he was 18 months old.  He hasn't stopped since.  It is EXHAUSTING on a daily basis.

    Hope you feel better soon!!!

  • Yeah...sometimes I hate the sound of my own name :)

    Although...I can't really complain yet....my children aren't even awake yet!

    I HATE YOU LUCYFOX!  Although it's 9:30 where you are.

    Jackson usually sleeps until around 8-9, but this morning he was up at 7 b/c he took his diaper off and peed in his bed.  It was a great start to the day.

  • That was super sweet of him!

    I'll tell you what works here but it's like 6 of one half dozen of the other as far as headaches go- for some weird reason he gets enthralled (i.e. super quiet) with Calliou.  I HATE CALLIOU and can't decide if the break of the toddler chant is worst than the sound of Calliou's whiny wussy voice....buuuut something to consider.  He doesn't move a muscle when that little brat is on.  Calliou is a huge punk but it might buy you 20 min of toddler silence?

  • Yeah, it totally sucks.  And ditto Bellisimo on the 1st tri.  Lila started telling everyone that "Mommy lays down and closes eyes".  Awesome.

    I hope you feel better soon!

  • Yeah Jackson will quiet down for Thomas & Friends, but that also means I have to listen to Thomas & Friends.

    I am never quite sure what is worse.

    I just hope if I get KTFU I don't have m/s like I did with Jackson b/c then he'll go around telling people, "my mommy throws up all the time," which is gross and I can't imagine anything worse than me getting sick, Jackson peering at me through the bathroom door and saying, "why you doing that?"  Me: "I'm sick."  Him: "Why?" and on and on and on.

  • Eclairs...yeah, the m/s sucks because to this day (hmm, like a year later??) Jett walks up to the toilet and starts spitting.  Nice?  It's making potty training interesting.

    Yes,  It's like someone flipped the switch and now DS's behaving like a three year old.  I had fair warning...everyone said "just wait until he's 3" back when he turned two.  It all makes sense now.
