LO and I are in the ER. He woke up again with a fever and ibuprofen didn't bring it down. They have him Tylenol and it's still going up. Currently sitting at 104. I know they don't worry to much at that temp but I am freaking out. He's just nursing and whining and I feel terrible I can't do anything:(

There’s a lightningin your eyes I can't deny Then there’s me inside a sinkingboat running out of time Without you I'll never make it out alive But I know, yes, I know we’ll be alright
I don't remember the last time I was this hungover. I feel so sick to my stomach. DD is being a crab. And we have lunch/dinner with DHs grandparent today. FML
Oh no @shakeyjakey! I hope they can get it down. Poor baby
I am at work trying not to let the negativity of my office suite get to me. There is no joy in here, just a bunch of curmudgeons. As soon as my collegue opened the door she let out a huge sigh. I wish I could move to a suite with more life in it.
I hope your little guy feels better soon, @ShakeyJakey!
I am tired this morning. Our air conditioner broke last night at around 9:30, and the service tech didn't get to my house until 11:30 then left around 12:30am. Of course all this happened the night before I have to be at work at 6:30 this morning. DH brought me giant coffee on his way home from this morning, but I have a feeling that won't be the only giant coffee I drink today. (:|
Hi. I overslept so I'm calling in to work... oops. Also, I was only able to pump 1.25 ounces for DS, but he needs at least 5oz for the time I'm gone. No way I'm leaving him without enough milk. My boobs are lazy.
Here's a weird story: DD discovered her vagina last night. She was sitting on the potty waiting for me to come wipe her butt. I got in there and she was all like, "Mama, what's that little hole?"
So, to be blunt: I'm really worrying that she won't leave it alone, and that she will hurt herself. I'm also having panic attacks over the thought that-- if she were to hurt herself-- people might think the worst about DH and me and accuse us of things we'd never do.
Another story: When I was a child, my father was accused by our neighbors that he was sexually abusing my siblings and me. Dad is innocent, and courts declared him so. But I remember how stressed out my parents were during that time. At my school (I was in Kindergarten), the nurse gave me a vaginal exam without my parents permission. They didn't even know until I remembered it a few years back and asked them about it. I remember lying there wondering why the hell the nurse needed to look at my butt. I thought, "Maybe she thinks I have trouble peeing or pooping. I could just tell her I'm fine" I remember that she looked extremely concerned about the entire ordeal.
Anyway, is there a chance something like that could happen if she hurt herself somehow?

You had a service tech come out in the middle of the night? That has to be a huge cost. Was it that hot in the house that you couldn't wait until the morning?
It was 85° in the house, normally set at 79°. I could have dealt with it and just made an appointment to have someone come out today, but my husband insisted. I guess he figured by the time they made it over, it would be too hot in the house for him to sleep after work. 90° at 9am makes for a warm house quick! It was only $300, which is actually the cheapest we've paid for service on the dumb thing.
i'm having a hard time finding enough cares to get up and be productive today. the day is nice, have a little fun money to spend on the kid, and i don't want to do anything but lay around the house.
Up early to take SO to the airport. Hope sam doesn't melt down cuz we have to wake her. Then SIL promised to come over and hang with sam so I can get caught up on a few tHings. I hope I get allot done on that time so I can relax a little
@ShakeyJakey I hope your LO's temp goes down and he starts feeling better soon! Fevers are scary shit.
@bearsbearsbears Im sorry you're struggling with the work/stay home decision. Honestly, if I were on your situation,id probably be reacting/struggling in the same way. I hope you and YH can come to a decision that you're all happy with.
I'm having a really bad day today. I feeling bitter and sad and resentful and angry. My mom set me off this morning (unintentionally) and it's all just spiraled. One bad thought leads to another and another, and it all just feels like it's piling up on me today.
It was storming like crazy early this morning. It woke up DS and he ended up in our bed...where he proceeded to kick DH in the nuts several times in a row. I am sure that's how DH wanted to wake up today.

It's my last day of maternity leave. I cried so fucking hard last night. MH and I are starting to discuss whether or not I should stay home. I have a pretty cool job and it's really flexible, but I hate feeling like I'm just living for the weekend.
I'm going back tomorrow and reevaluating these thoughts in a few weeks. Can I have some side hugs?
((side hugs))

@bearsbearsbears We are in the same place. I think I'm going to call off the job hunt and just stay home. I'm struggling so much dropping them off. Hugs to you!
I'm not having a great day. I spent way too much time on the sex offender site yesterday and triggered the first nightmare/flashback in a long time. Dh was at work so I was alone. Fun times.
I'm not feeling that hot myself, DH worked late last night and DD has been demon toddler yesterday and today... I'm actually kind of glad I'm at work and don't have to listen to the whining/crying
I just faxed my transcript request to my old school and emailed and admissions Rep. As long as I don't get the job I applied for (my current job would be paying for school) Im going back to school. I am both nervous and very excited!
I'm back from my conference. I didn't make a complete cotton-headed ninny muggins of myself. But utter boredom took hold toward the end and I kept spelling campaign as champagne in my notes! So yeah.
Champagne campaign for all, plus hugs and hopes for better days ahead ladies (and gentlemen).
Good morning y'all. Hugs to everyone whether you need them or not.
I'm avoiding the majority of the active posts on the board today because I'm in a good mood and I'd like to stay that way. So I'll just get comfy in here. If y'all start anything controversial in here I'll burn this bitch down!
I decided to get DH something for Father's Day even though he never gets me anything for Mother's Day, because I'm a better person than him. :P I'm thinking like a man cave kit type of deal. Comfy/lounge outfit, snacks, beer, etc. I also found a nice case for his phone on Amazon for $9.99 so I'll probably grab that too. I'll do the kit from the girls and the case from me.
M's taking her math SOL (standardized test) today. She was so nervous this morning. I hope all the extra after school and Saturday study sessions pay off.
@PrivacyWanted my in-laws live on Lake Tippicanoe in IN. We're driving through a bunch of small towns heading towards Grand Rapids, MI.
Middlebury, IN.
Who was it that was talking about the PretentiousGlasses website for father's day? I ordered the black and tan glass for DH and want to buy him some beer combos to go in there. Ideas on what might taste delicious together?
We got a letter at daycare drop off that there is one confirmed case of measles in town and a suspected case in the infant room. My son isn't in that room but it has made me have a internal freak out on the repercussions of the anti-vax movement in our area. That, plus my DS getting hand, foot, and mouth, and ear infection, and pink eye all at once last week have me irrationally wanting to pull him out of daycare, stay home, and be in our bubble. I know that isn't what I will do but it's where my head is at today.
ummm don't read this bearsbearsbears (didn't want to tag her & call her specifically to it), & hugs to you if you do see it......
I freaking hate being a working mom. Today sucks.
DS was up half the night running a high fever. Ibuprofen took him back to normal but I could just see it in his eyes that he didn't feel good this morning. I left him at home with my BIL (he was fever free this morning). I'm leaving at lunch to take him to the dr b/c hes had the fever off & on since last Thursday (but was good Sat-Mon so I thought we were over it, till last night). I should be there with him, not BIL. I'm his mom, sick kids need & want their mom, not their uncle. But I have so many projects that I need to finish up at work before my maternity leave starts & I'm starting to feel pressure (from myself mostly) to get them done.
I hate that I feel so obgliated to my job that I'm putting it above my sick child (I'm maybe being a little melodramatic here but you working moms know what I'm saying). I hate that I have to rely on other people to watch my kids because of work. I hate that my dreams of having a large family have come true & now are clouded by bills & finance. I hate that I'm a seasoned salary employee & held to a higher standard when it comes to balancing work/family (in my corporation). We've tried me doing the SAH gig & while our bills were paid that was pretty much it. We had no extra money to put into savings, no extra money for extra curricular activites for the kids, no extra money for vacations or fun....Every week was living paycheck to paycheck & borrowing from peter to pay for paul. It was so stressful.
Most days it is an easy balance but today just totally sucks
