Wheres Toto Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Morning. Happy Saturday. I tried to sleep in and was still up around 7:30am. Home Depot was supposed to deliver siding or something today and despite dh telling them the situation, they brought too big of a truck. We have narrow streets and lots of turns in our neighborhood with limited places to turn around. Evidently the guy couldn't even turn off the main road into our neighborhood. So still we wait. Our windows weren't available so we had to reorder from Anderson. More $$$ but they'll be better windows so I guess that's okay. Septic system isn't working and seems to be full so emptying that is on the agenda as well, with a replacement moved up on the schedule. By the time all this is done, nothing is going to resemble the original house. I need to take some before pictures pretty soon. I'm spending today setting up school and doing some straightening up around the house, then tomorrow I"m going to my mother's to do laundry. It's going to take all day but I can do some work on classes while there (I refuse to plan school there, too many books to haul over). I don't want to go to laundrymat in covid-times. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 (edited) FIL was diagnosed with Covid in (I think) May with the usual, unpleasant symptoms. In July he began exhibiting neurological symptoms that MIL believed was a UTI but didn't take him to the hospital for a week and they got worse. He did not have a UTI so they did all the scans they would normally do and his condition has continued to decline. They were supposed to do an LP a week or 2 ago but had to put it off. I was unaware they got it done at some point but apparently he has unrecognizable proteins in his spine. They're saying it's from his Covid infection. We don't know what this means for him. They're talking about months of antibiotics but I don't know if his neurological symptoms are from damage so they won't heal or the infection so they will or what. I don't know if they're 100% sure that's the problem or not. MIL says he's like a goldfish but Matt talks to him all the time and hasn't noticed anything.

KrissiK Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Good Morning!!!!! COFFEE!!!!~D Saturday!!!! It’s not smoky outside, so I got the doors open.

73349 Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Pantz for DS have not been shipped yet. This is not helping the laundry situation. We are Doing Things. I gave DH and DS hair cuts, DH has made ice cream, I took down one set of blinds and prepped the window and we're going to put the film on it, DH replaced the kitty litter, I vacuumed upstairs, and hopefully there will be a small appliance recycling drop-off. DS will wash his sheets and whatnot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 Oh, poop. I have to read TWTM middle school history chapter. Why did none of you remind me? And watch the lit dvds. Hmmm. I should make a list. School starts in a week! So, Isaac has really been struggling with food lately and I went against doctors orders, followed my gut and put a little bit of rice cereal in his bottles and he's been much happier. We've been playing this game of trying to prevent him from starving to death while he tries to throw everything up and it wasn't fun. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 1 minute ago, Dobby's Sock said: DS always projectile vomitted when he was a baby - it decreased a little bit when I fed him the really thick, pre-made formula but almost completely stopped when I started feeding him real food at 3 months (when he got his first tooth). I used to put Brinta in his formula (a dutch cereal). That works better than powder but would be about $200/week and it doesn't work as well. He's definitely not ready for real food. I'm not even putting a real serving in, just enough so it stays down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrissiK Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I went to the Afsa. That’s 2 and a half hours I will never get back. I hate that place. And it’s hot outside.and I am grumpy. But not as grumpy as I was when I got home because I was also hungry. But I am not hungry anymore.

Wheres Toto Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I set up the kids school for the week. It's not everything but more than easing back in. I'm doing task boards for them so I have magnetic whiteboards on order for their rooms and more magentic cards to write tasks on. I'm hoping it works better than our current method where they keep "forgetting" things. I wrote out the plans for dd's literature to the end of the book, ds's health to the end of the book, and a bunch of math for each of them. I'm still working on history and geography. Tomorrow I get to go to my mom's to do laundry after dd and I work out. yipee. 😕 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 I made a weekly schedule. Now I need to figure out what I need to do to get that weekly schedule accomplished. 28 minutes ago, myblessings4 said: Good! Our older kids were eating cereal at six weeks. It's what ya did back then. We didn't put it in bottles, but I know lots who did. Ds13 grabbed my pizza crust off my plate and gnawed it at 2 1/2 months Doctors will tell you not to do that because formula is the perfect combination. I am of the opinion that you are supposed to be breastfeeding and since your breast milk changes based on the pheromones that the baby puts out and the formula doesn't that it is Mom's responsibility to compensate for that. I have found myself more than once watering down a bottle in the summer when the baby was very clearly dehydrated and using cereal when the baby needed more thickness. If anyone freaked out over the idea of my watering down a bottle, don't worry I only did it once in a blue moon when the baby was very obviously dehydrated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate carpet and can't afford any expensive stair finishings. I removed carpet from stairs. It was an old house. We pulled up the green shag to expose a pad that had disintegrated. That swept up and there was a horrible glue, old with age. It took me months to remove/sand it all down. But they looked beautiful once stained. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if you could post a baby picture here soon, that would be great. Or Servie or Spuds or Bookie or mms or Dancer or anyone with a baby who is comfortable sharing!!!!
