And I’m pretty sure that’s why my knees are in such bad shape now. I have no desire to bother with that running nonsense again! 😂 I've taken up a barefoot toe strike running style partly in the hopes it will preserve my knees. With a forefoot strike the foot flexes to absorb the impact. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheres Toto Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 My babies were 7 pounds 1 ounce - water broke 4 weeks early, induced because no contractions at all, kept losing heartbeat so had to lie on side which made epidural only work on that one side while other side felt full pain, forceps delivery after 12 hours 7 pounds 9 ounces - induced 2 weeks late, kept losing heartbeat and I kept passing out, middle of the night emergency c-section. Occurred to us that I may not react well to the induction medicines. 7 pounds 13 ounces - c-section scheduled for MIL's sisters birthday (and mil complained she didn't want dd to have her sister's birthday), started contractions on my own for the first time 4 days before her scheduled c-section so the one time things should have been completely predictable things still went screwy. She was delivered by a covering doctor due to the early arrival. Tubes were tied during c-section with youngest so no more kiddos for me. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Morning, Happy Thursday. Today is one of my easier days, although I do have a teen hangout and tutoring after classes. Teen hangout will just mean getting out supplies for some projects if they want to do them, checking in every so often, and making sure they clean up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Sleeping in another room doesn't help because he is so loud. He has started waking the kids at night. Actually he has started wasting himself and then he yells at me for waking him up. He stopped wearing snore strips because he believed that they were injuring his nose, but he does wear an insert thing that used to work. The problem is that he has gained an insane amount of weight since we moved here because all he does is sit all day. I think I might make him stop eating. Does anyone know all of the places in Scripture that have a list of character qualities for Christians like Ephesians 4? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Good morning! (((Slache))) Dh has worn Breathe Right (nose strips) for years. No nose injury. This situation needs to be First Priority on the Kanban board. Can you soundproof a large closet somewhere and make him sleep on a cot in it? No tutorial until after New Years, so we just have regular lessons and cello lesson this afternoon and orchestra rehearsal for me tonight.

Kanban is an organizational technique that limits the amount of projects you have going. Each section on the spreadsheet is only allowed a certain number of items. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Took my dog with me to the clinic I work at to do some workup on a leg problem. She's mad at me because I sedated her and then poked on her, and she thought we were friends, and then I had to go be a doctor, and she'd forgotten I did that periodically. Dogs. She's sleeping off her drugs on her bed. Now I have to get some writing done. but it's gray, cloudy, and I want to eat rice pudding and go to bed. DH are looking forward to the day when we can have separate bedrooms. He's not a horrible snorer, but I'm a very restless sleeper, and sometimes I get hit with ideas in the middle of the night, or have insomnia. It's absolutely on my list of things to do when we have the space. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which should have been impossible to grow a kid that big considering I'm only 4'11 and dh is 5'5 (or 6). Dh introduced me to arroz con leche and I liked it before I realized that it was just a type of rice pudding (I think). It's all done on the stove top though. We make it on cold days. I may make some tomorrow morning. It snowed today. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
