KateJuly2013 · October 2014

@valstulas major sadz for you. I am sorry that he is doing all of this. >:D<

@mrshudson618‌ congratulations, you made it

@econmama ugh. 2 things I hate more than anything: 1. Moving 2. Going to the DMV. God speed

merc5411 · October 2014

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been MIA again. Life is hectic, and it annoys me when I have to read threads in short snippets, so I end up not reading at all. My bad! I'll try to do better.

@Valstulas I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of that shit. He's a douche canoe and a major ass. Huge Hugs!!!

coco2787 · October 2014

Ugh, so sorry you're dealing with that childish nonsense. At least he's helping remind you that you're making the right decision. Hugs! @valstulas‌

I just signed up for ebates am so mad I didn't sign up for it sooner. I've done an embarrassing amount of online shopping this past year.

ashie624 · October 2014

@valstulas‌ >:D< What a douchepickle.

EagleWife · October 2014

@atlvol - thank you! I hate the different temps every time! I always feel like I'm doing it wrong!

@robynloureed - that is adorable!

@gutsymama - eggnog?

Bring on the Christmas season! (Come on @kaylakim, get on board!)

@econmama - good luck at the dmv - may the lines be short and fast and the smells not be too strong. Why are they always so stinky? and slow?

@mrshudson618 - thinking of you!

I hurt my shoulder so I have been laid up and a little loopy on muscle relaxers. So, I haven't bumped much because when DH is at work I dig deep and tolerate the pain that Motrin doesn't even touch. I can't take the muscle relaxers when he is at work because I don't want to be out of it while alone Liam.
This is affecting bumping because I am loopy or in pain. (Did I use affecting correctly? Effecting or affecting)

I don't remember everything from spam but hugs to everyone because hugs are good for all situations! >:D<
@valstulas‌ I do remember your post because I was thinking my ex did that to me. I left him so he was vengeful!

sparkymcgeee · October 2014

@valstulas that's horrible. I can't believe someone is that petty and low. I hate that you have to deal with him. I'm sorry.

I'm super tired today because DH and I were up way too late watching the Royals game. It was an awesome game.

Also, I watched Mom's Night Out last night and it was cute. I liked it. I cried a couple of times because it said everything I need to hear as a mom. That being a mom is important. That you don't have to be perfect and that it's incredibly hard. They said that you're not going to be happy all of the time and that's okay but find the moments that make you happy. Take time for yourself because you matter too. I just needed to hear some of that and it was nice to see it in a movie. Plus it has Kepner in it.

macncheese0712 · October 2014

Happy October and happy birthday month to all those celebrating!

Today marks 3 deployment months down for us. I'm sad that DH is missing our anniversary and Halloween this year. But I'm trying to look at the bright side- we are almost half-way to seeing him again!

Between the hours of 11 PM and 4 AM, DS woke up every 5-10 minutes. We are headed home from Pensacola today. It's going to be a long one. I-)

2 years ago we were all getting pregnant. Time flies so fast...

Oh goody, Giles has started shaking his head no.

DS shakes his little finger at me and says, "no, no, no, no, no." Where could they possibly be learning these things??

ashie624 · October 2014

Yep. When I tell Zoe no, she will shake her head and then smile. These kids...haha. She is such a sassy pants.

thegoodpotato · October 2014

@valstulas I'm sorry you're dealing with this.

Jerkwads get their comeuppance eventually, and I hope Luv gets his sooner rather than later.

kaylakim · October 2014

So funny that kids get these attitudes at such a young age!

@cshum24 I'm in favor of a new vehicle. How funny!

martyn17 · October 2014

I just realized that I will not be sleeping in my own bed on a Saturday night until November 1st, and that weekend I will have house guests. Then I will not sleep in my own bed until Nov 22nd. Then I will be gone for Thanksgiving.

So until December, I will be home 2 weekends.

Crazy.

Probably the correct answer. **Insert winking smiley here**

Would you take LO in to Dr? Clear runny/stuffy nose since Tuesday. Loose poops the past 2 days. Diaper rash because of poos (I'm guessing?) Clingy, cranky. Decreased appetite. Grabbing at ears but tends to hold her ear when shes tired. She is grabbing at them more though. Not much improvement in a week, worse if anything because of the poops.

My goto answer: if you're not sure just call your doctor! They'll tell you if you should come in now, or if it doesn't improve by Friday, or whatever 'the answer' is Easier and cheaper than dragging your kid to the doctor if its not needed, and it ensures that you take them in when it IS needed!

I didn't think of that. I will call and see what they say. Thanks!

martyn17 · October 2014

@byjove03 Normally I would say no, but due to the travel I'd have her checked just in case.

And steam showers, snot sucker, saline spray, and lots of fluids

[Deleted User] · October 2014

I've already prepped dinner, eaten pie, made LO lunch and now I'm sitting here watching the Disney channel, because I'm scared if I change it LO will wake up. You know, like men do when they're dead asleep and you change the channel.

It's boring when Haddy's asleep but it is kind of nice to relax.

@econmama - I saw this while looking for snow suits online and thought of you guys: Cheetah

gutsymama · October 2014

I feel just completely defeated right now.

GI recommended a medical daycare, run by nurses, staffed by nurses, that sounds amazing. That doesn't exist in most places - nothing even close. I called this morning, loved the director, got lots of info, felt like this was the turning point that could make our lives almost normal.

It costs around $65,000/year ($250/day), because it's basically a nursing service. They don't have people who pay out of pocket; it's all run through insurance. Neither UHC or BCBS will work with them, but a couple state agencies do and Luke should qualify for child disability. She gave me the number for a health advocacy group that could help me figure out what he qualifies for and how to get the process started.

We make too much money. Even though it would take literally more than we make in a year, before taxes, just to pay for this childcare. Basically the only way we could qualify for the things we need is if I quit working, DH takes a much shittier job, and we drop Luke's private insurance altogether.

WTF. We have no other childcare options. We won't even qualify for the coverage that allowed us to have private-duty nursing anymore, because that was covered due to a special clause for newborns that secures coverage through the first year. I have no idea what we're going to do once my fellowship money runs out in May. I won't be able to work.

EagleWife · October 2014

I'm sorry, @gutsymama >:D<

atlvol · October 2014

@gutsymama I am so so sorry. Huge hugs.

ETA-I am so angry for you. That is ridiculous.

mrshudson618 · October 2014

@gutsymama so sorry after everything else you have to deal with this crap!

littlelegslo · October 2014

So sorry @gutsymama

That's completely unfair.

[Deleted User] · October 2014

>:D< @gutsymama I'm so sorry.

mrshudson618 · October 2014

C just read me a book. Granted, every page said either "faster", "splash" "Wheee" , or "Daddy", but he turned the pages, and said all the right words in all the right places.

Normally he just points out all the dogs, balls, and ducks in the books.

gutsymama · October 2014

Did I mention that we are doing weekly iron infusions, which would normally just be delivered along with TPN and once a week we would just run that for an hour before we start TPN, but our insurance won't approve it at home so we have to go to the hospital once a week for that now?

Remember when I said I quit? I quit.

saphires · October 2014

So sorry @gutsymama Insurance companies are so frustrating... huge hugs >:D<

jennipalmer · October 2014

@gutsymama‌ I can understand not qualifying for Medicaid but what about Medicare. That is not income based anyone should qualify if they have kidney failure, over 65 or any kind or permanent disability. Since Luke has never obviously worked it is based on what you guys have paid

KikiCohen · October 2014

@gutsymama‌ That's so incredibly unfair

Bmore721 · October 2014

Ugh, I am so sorry, @gutsymama! The system is totally screwed up.

@mrshudson618‌ That is awesome! \:D/

Mer and I had the absolute best playdate today with a mom that I met at the playground two weeks ago. Coffee, bagels, intellectually stimulating conversation, cuddles, and fun crayon drawings. I walked outside and was like:

Best first date ever!

kaylakim · October 2014

@gutsymama that's awful! I'm infuriated for you. I really wish there was something we could do!
