I've got the flu, but a suppodely mild version.
Still feels like hell. Too late for Tamiflu. If it stays out of my lungs & me out of the ED I'll be happy.

Trash & recycle pickup will have to wait for the next one & 2 weeks, took all of my energy just to move my car to the end of the driveway for tomorrow's snowstorm.

Oh no! Feel better!

Have we heard an update on clars?

Val, I hope everyone is feeling better soon & that your DH manages to avoid getting it.

She stayed home again today. I believe she's keeping stuff down now but was still more under the weather than over it when I talked to her last night

Honestly I think sometimes it was easier for me because I did not actually produce these children. I don't think I have those same scary mom feelings. Not exactly. I have worries, etc but so far as physical well being, I never was very disturbed by much.

I never explain this well.

And for me it's the opposite. I didn't birth DS but have always worried tons about his physical being. I'ld HATE to be the one who made a mistake and then DH would have to tell the "Mother". Don't want to rock that boat.

Yes. A stinky cheap gas station cigar in my house in the middle of the night. I woke up and thought house was on fire.

He says it won't happen again and did tons of housework today while I was at work. I feel bad for him...he saw his family over the weekend but no one since Sunday afternoon. Nothing like paying for your own airfare, staying a week, and your family blowing you off.

They live less than 1 hour away - you think someone would invite him for dinner!

yep, stayed home again today. She felt good when she got up this morning, took and ibuprofin for achiness and thought she would go into work. NOT......ibuprofin decided it wanted to see the inside of the toilet so she stayed home.

D is the only one in the house who hasn't gotten sick.......................as of 10am this morning.

You will so happy once your attic is done and you have more room, are you getting close to finishing or did you just start?

I can't imagine not having a basement, ours is unfinished and the perfect place to store things, DH made sturdy shelfs for me last year, but now I need another set made. :lol:

I would LOVE a basement, finished or otherwise. It didn't bother me until recently, but now I am missing it!

We're just starting the attic. We were going to start in November, but needed to save some additional money since it doesn't seem like we're ever going to get our foster care "allowance." :lol: :gah:
 
KG, strap that baby on & keep going with your life. The baby will adjust, and be better adjusted, imo. Don't create a little monster by being deathly quiet while she sleeps, either...let her get used tot he noise so you're not prisoners in your home.

I LOVED the snugli & then the backpack carrier thing. I painted rooms, installed a fence & sod, ripped up carpeting, etc. in addition to being able to clean/cook/whatever all with a baby on me. It was fun! :) Easier than when they were toddlers, that's for sure!
 
Yeah babies are easy IMO..............it's when they start crawling and walking that your life gets turned upside down. :lol:

So sad for my good friend(whose baby shower I just went to over the weekend). Her dad just died unexpectedly....so sad that he will NEVER get to see his grandchild...too bad she lives so far or I would try to come to the wake but it is when I'm supposed to be working....perhaps I will try to drop a meal by her home on the weekend...I'm going that way anyhow to see my parents.

Sorry to hear about your friend's dad. I will send prayers and good wishes her way.
 
Dragonfly, I think I read in my semi-conscious state yesterday that you said that your MIL is going to have rotator cuff surgery and will be recovering with you.

Let me give you a few pieces of advice and not to scare but prepare you. I worked 10 years in an orthopaedic office and my MIL had this done last June so I've got a few suggestions....

1. Make sure you have a recliner available for your MIL to sleep in. Laying flat on a bed or couch is nearly impossible.

2. Expect her pain to be HORRIBLE, like off the charts HORRIBLE. Patients complained of it being worse than childbirth or total knee replacements. Small incisions but HORRIBLE pain.

3. Recovery is s-l-o-w. My MIL was discouraged with this but doing the home exercises religiously will help.
 
Are there guys that look like complete dorks, but because their personalities are great, you think they're hot (or at least cool and dateable)?

Me? There's a couple dorky looking guys on TMZ that I would (have back in the day when I was single) totally date! Humor goes a long way in my book.

I think most of it is gone, although this morning at 4 am, I woke up to and took some ibuprofen. That small sip of water to wash it down sent me running for the bathroom.

Thank you, Valerie! I will know Monday when the surgery is scheduled. Delusional DH thinks she will be here for 2 days. I told him I am preparing for at least 2 weeks. I told him this morning that we need to get her recliner over here & that he needs to look into a home healthcare nurse, unless he's prepared to wash her up. :) She is in pain now and I was expecting that to be better after surgery, so I appreciate the heads up on that!

Humor is #1 for me. My exH made me LOL *maybe* 10 times in as many years. It was notable when it happened. :lol:
 
And she might want to start practicing personal hygiene with other hand if needed.

My Dad practiced for weeks before having his right shoulder replaced.

Also was months before he could sleep in a bed, years later still more comfortable in his recliner.
 
What is wrong with some parents?

It is very simple to teach manners, respect and compassion.

Yet some do not do it. When your child grows up and has no respect or compassion for you, don't blame anyone else but yourself.
