    @RQuinlin Your poor DD! I was like her when I was little, and I got strep a LOT. Now whenever someone around me has it I stay far far away because I'm so prone to catching it.

    ETA: I hope she feels better for Thanksgiving!

    @saltyfins You are a strong lady. I'd be stabby by now. 
      
      AFM- My husband is still recovering from his appendectomy, which means my Dad will be driving us up to Camano Is. in Washington tomorrow. We have a wedding for a friend of ours from DH's navy days. After that, it's back down to Portland on Wednesday for Thanksgiving times with our families. All of this means I am doing a metric butt-ton of laundry today. Weee.

    Another random:  Sometimes I wish I were a doctor.  DD has had a cough for a week or so and I'm always so paranoid that it could be something else.  The symptoms are the same for every.damn.virus.


    Typical cold?  Coughing, fever, runny nose.
    Ear infection? Coughing, fever, runny nose
    UTI?  Coughing, fever, runny nose.

    And coughs typically last up to 3 weeks so how the hell do I know when I should be looking for something else?  Sometimes I feel like the dumbest mom.
    I feel the same way sometimes and I'm an RN. One time I ended up having to bring my son to his doctor for these random hives he was getting that I couldn't figure out a trigger for and after looking him over she said, oh those are just from stress, he has an ear infection.

    @RQuinlin‌ Hope your DD feels better and you both are able to get some rest soon. It's no fun being sick over the holidays.

    @JM0848‌ I haven't tried those!

    @RQuinlin‌ I just read your update. Glad your finally out of the dr but I'm so sorry about your daughter. :( Hopefully you mange to avoid catching it yourself! Lots of positive thoughts and vibes for quick healing. :)

    @lisap0924‌ You totally just reminded me that I need to have my abnormal cells rechecked! I got a colposcopy, but now I'm at a new dr, etc. And I guess your son is saying that you need to go with zombie theme for the nursery ... ;)

    @Darbie914 I hope your DD starts feeling better soon. Coughs are miserable.

    I had the craziest dream last night that my mom was pregnant with a boy and due in June. She is in her 60s and I was so mad at her for putting herself and the baby at such risk. And she kept asking me to buy her stuff that I don't even have for my baby. Then I woke myself up snoring. It was quite a disturbing dream.

    Eta: typing on an iPhone with swollen fingers is hard!!!!

    @Darbie914‌ I'm always paranoid about being that mom that constantly calls the doctor about her child, so I tend to wait and agonize over it unless I am sure there is something they can do for him or after he just does not get better for several days.

    Hope your DD feels better soon.

    @chilibeansm0m‌ - I know how you feel. I have zero option to be a SAHM (although my H could be a SAHD). I had a SAHM who did the park, story hour, etc with me and it makes me sad I won't give my son the same experience.

    I try to feel better about it by hopefully being a role model to him - someone with a good work ethic and to show him he can be whatever he wants when he grows up and knowing that he is so loved. And we will go to the park on the weekend.

    Thanks for sharing your story @meowkitten

    Hope everyone's kiddos start feeling better.

    We had DS's Christmas pictures taken Friday, also got a lot of Christmas shopping done (including finding a play kitchen at Marshall's that I wanted to get DS for Christmas for a lot cheaper than I was planning on spending), and I just ordered Christmas cards. Now I don't have very much shopping left to do. I am quite proud of myself seeing as how I am usually a HUGE procrastinator (like, not starting present shopping until the week of and not ordering cards until a couple of weeks ahead and then barely getting them in time to send them before Christmas).

    @meowkitten I just wanted to let you know I am so happy you shared your story! One of my dearest friends had cervical cancer and abnormal cells twice and then the LEEP procedure. She went on to have two spectacularly routine and full term pregnancies with very healthy children. :-)

    @wishiwaspreggo  What are you talking about, lady?  Of course you'll be missed!  Enjoy your week away!

    I wish I could be excited for Turkey Day.  But my GD diagnosis has taken the wind out of my sails.  That and our families are going to be scattered all around two states this year, so we're just planning on staying home.  At least I can watch the MST3K marathon.

    Oh, and in better news, we finally registered at BRU (at the insistence of my mom; we already have a decent Amazon registry).  I'd been telling D all about the wonders of expectant mother parking and knew that there were a handful at BRU.  When we got there, they were all taken, so he parked in a regular spot.  Just as we pulled in, I noticed there were some on the other side, of course.  By that time it was too late, and moving would just a pain in the ass.  But D pulled around anyway, so that I could say I used those spots at least once.  Sometimes it's the little things.


    Sorry about the GD :(. But hello from a fellow MST3K fan!

    This 100%.  I had the stomach bug last Thanksgiving.  I'd prefer not to spend this one sick as well!

    @RQuinlan. I'm glad you got some answers and relief for your LO!  Poor kid, strep sucks.

    Happy Thanksgiving week to the Americans in the bunch! Safe travels to everyone who is loading in cars and airplanes. And plenty of rest and relaxation to those of you staying home. Good luck to everyone working. I spent the first five years of my career working holidays, so I feel your pain.

    We head out to Ohio tomorrow morning. It is going to be freezing and my coat doesn't button and I refuse to get another one because I'm stubborn. Thankfully I have stocked up on warm sweaters.

    I need help from the mommas with pre-teen/teen girls out there (@jennypm‌ @chaysefaith come to mind). I've "adopted" a 13-year-old foster kid for Christmas. She wants brown suede boots and skinny jeans. I know her size in juniors, but where is a good place to buy low to mid-level clothes for teens? All I can think is JC Penneys, but where else? We also have a Forever 21, Wet Seal and Charlotte Russe at our mall, but I've never even been in them. Also, tall boots or booties? What's popular right now for the young teen girls? I think I'm going to round out the gifts with nail polish and other cutesy stuff like that. There is a splurge at Ulta in my future!

    Do you have a Kohl's near you? They have lots of stuff and at reasonable prices.

    I feel there same way too. DS had high fever on the 8th we couldn't figure out why he wasn't acting like himself until we got home and took his temp on a hunch, it was 103.4 f. I don't know how we missed it. Since then he seemed like he was over it about 5 days after the fever he started coughing it was croup. He's much better now but still coughing, if it keeps up by Wednesday he will have had a cough for 2 weeks.

    My family is making me feel like crap for not taking him to the doctor immediately but his fever came down as soon as he took Tylenol and they are the type to believe that without antibiotics you won't get better. my gut tells me virus and antibiotics won't do anything for that.

    @RQuinlin‌ im srry about ur daughter...both my oldest son and my youngest son had to have tubes in thier ears for ear infections..oldest twice. So now when they get sick im like nope check thier ears...i even when out and bought the thing to check thier ears my self for infection.

    I had my glucose test today. They'll call me with results in the morning. I knew it would be sweet, but watching the sugar to water ratio she mixed didn't even make prepared for just how sweet it was. Plus 3 blood draws. But glad it's over and I'll know soon! (Fingers crossed for good results!!)

    So I ordered several things from amazon (including a very pricey breast pump) to have delivered to my parents house. Turns out that my dad is going out of town as well, for over a week, right when all the packages are due to arrive. No way to cancel or redirect and the neighbors that they're friends with are heading out of town for the holidays. So stressed and frustrated about that. :( She's going to try to talk to the kids that do her yard work and see about paying them to come check for packages, which gives me some hope! (More finger crossing).

    Finally, I leave in about 24 hours for Europe!! So excited!! But still no hotel booked for the end of our trip yet. I'm not packed yet. And I have a million things to do tomorrow. Travel is so awesome, but the last minute part sucks! ;) *not a planner*

    Once you find out who the carrier is (FedEx ups whoever) call them and request hold for pickup. Hopefully your dad can get them when he gets back.

    @CoozieInMyPurse‌ for the skinny jeans I would suggest looking at Aeropostale or their kids site if she's a small 13. I get a lot of my kids clothes at Kohls and non gym shoes from there.

    Thank you @kcbizme‌ and @chaysefaith‌! She's a 5/6 in juniors. I have no idea if that is small or not. We have a Kohl's, so I will definitely check that out. It would be awesome to find sales and be able to drown her in clothes. I love imaging their faces when they open the gifts.

    A 5/6 would be doable at Aeropostale :) They're clothes aren't cheap regular price but they usually have really good sales.
