He doesn't know what hospital he's at, he doesn't know what they're doing, he didn't get up to go when they called his name. I think he waited 5 minutes too long to call me. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be a sedative, especially if he's agitated and won't keep on monitors etc. Stuff like that is so hard to deal with when you can't be there. I'm sorry. That's my concern.

maize Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 I'm here, just busy and I've got a cold and dh also has the cold except dh never recognizes when he is feeling sick he just starts feeling like everything is wrong with the world and gets depressed. Dd5 was the first to get sick, apparently caught it from a neighbor girl. I'm going to have to be more careful about letting them play together. She had a fever and I did take her to get covid tested and fortunately that came back negative but it is a rather nasty cold. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 In laws are pushing for Gatlinburg again. We are not toting our children 17 hours both ways to spend a weekend with them. No. I haven't even counted the cost but I'm sure we could have much more fun for that much money. I'm sure Gatlinburg is great but 32 hours in the car for 48 hours, of which only about 16 is going to be fun, is just no. And I don't know where this money is coming from because my husband has not worked steadily since March. And I don't want to rent a cabin to share with a total of 10 people. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted October 6, 2020 Share Posted October 6, 2020 Good morning! I am not getting things done because my lab results came in and I am trying to figure out what all these things mean. Most everything is normal. Also I was awake at 4am again and that is getting annoying. Might start taking something. I think we have some 5htp or whatever that stuff is somewhere around here. Cello lesson road trip in an hour, and other things to deal with. Not bad things, but I'd rather read my book. Forgot to run the dishwasher last night. Better get that started.

Slachie, you have a new baby (a preemie!) and you're still healing. That's a loooong drive and you really shouldn't be traveling that far away from your doctor's and pedi so soon. Just my opinion, of course. It's this summer and I honestly wouldn't mind but this is a manipulation tactic so that MIL can come when it's supposed to be just SIL coming down for some brother-sister time. She really needs to be in control and has stifled any attempt SIL has made at visiting us. Also, I'm at a point now where I'm only getting out of bed about twice a week and will not be committing to a trip right now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the thread that never ends You'd best come join it with your friends 'Cuz it will replace Facebook as the latest web-based craze And everyone will post here instead for the rest of their days This is the thread that's always there They'll cheer you up so don't despair The group is growing well as more people start checking in And we'll keep sucking them in because our cheer is addictive This is the thread that never ends It's better than a Mercedes Benz It helps with coffee withdrawal and other troubles, too Eighteen hundred pages of friends all cheering for you This thread keeps going on and on with record-setting length and fun It started forty-eight months ago from curiosity and all the fun and frolic has shown this is the place to be This is the thread that never ends... And the place where one finds special friends, the kind that have hearts that are strong and true Yes, ITT ladies, I am talking to you! This is the thread that never ends Yeah, it's superior to other trends Friends start out scratching their head in confusion, perhaps But then the laughter strikes and they gratefully tip their caps. This is the thread that never ends I had no idea when I entered in That what seems a little nuts might actually save me From going insane on days that are crazy 🤗 This is the thread that never ends....

The high schoolers are back to their regular school, but the younger two really wanted to do more labs. So, I'm doing some basic things (like fingerprinting, water xylophone) with just them through the rest of this week. I am planning to have Lab Day on the 2nd Monday of each month, starting in November. By having lab on Monday we will be able to accommodate multi-day labs more easily. I want to do them early in the month so that if there is a scheduling issue we can reschedule without skipping a month, but doing anything on the first Monday of a month is not.going.to.happen. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any attempt to visit with my brother in person and she finds a way to self invite and it all becomes about her. Huh, I'm just now realizing this. Wow, come to think of it, she does this with anyone I plan a visit with in our family. Grandparents, aunt and uncle, cousins.... We... Invite SIL when we know MIL can't visit. Go visit and make last minute plans with SIL without telling MIL. Used to buy only SIL a plane ticket as a surprise but that's when she was a minor with no job. Specifically plan a visit when MIL has to work so we have time with SIL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
