MY Monday!!!

Tangerine · Guru

Good morning! Bunny woke up with a normal temp and energy to spare.
He came bursting into my room to tell me his good news: the juice in his cup was still juice and it didn't turn into cheese water like milk does.

You can have Monday all to yourself, I don't want it.

It's a holiday for me. #2 threw up last night. Too many s'mores most likely. Today we're off to meet the DC Wizards.

Good to see you, ladyloonatic!

Yeah, I don't like Mondays either. No one wanted to get up this morning. The dog changed everyone's opinion on that issue..

Who turned the heat off??

It was 94 degrees here yesterday. It is now a brisk 52, with a high of 61 today. And the wind!!

DH wimped out and turned the heat on this morning. Yeah, A/C yesterday, heat this morning.

Good morning all.

Czech, have some coffee.

I'm back from the store...Still fighting with DH about flea collars.

flan

ladyloonatic · Regular

What is the fight about flea collars? Brand vs brand or yes vs. no? I'm in favor of anything that might prevent fleas. Fleas are no bueno...

~takes deep breath~

I have had dogs for 18 years, and NEVER had a flea problem. Last year, a family moved in & they let their dog run free.

BINGO!

FLEAS...we use Frontline, flea shampoo and Capstar (an oral med). Older Doxie is actually allergic to fleas.

DH bought 2 flea collars because a co-worker recommended them. After doing some research, I did not feel comfortable putting them on our dogs.

Fight begins.

I called our vet this morning & was told "No way." In fact, if someone brings in an animal with a flea collar, they cut it off.

Frontline works great for our dog. We have never used a flea collar.

Last year we battled fleas all summer. This year, we didn't have so much as one flea. :)

Good luck, flan.

jlbear71 · Guru

Good Beautiful Morning! Sun is shining, temps are cool at 60 degrees.

Schoolwork is on the schedule for today as well as switching over clothes from summer to winter. I am so unmotivated for this last class.

Thanks.

We lost Abby in June. I could not stand it if Wolf or Dingo got sick.

Too strong poisons.

They kill fleas & hurt the dog.

Good afternoon all.

Fall break here. Boys may go to a movie later.

They go back Wednesday. Short break.

Glad Bunny is better.

#2 too.

It's cool here too. But sunny.

Sigh, I hope today is better. Yesterday my son had an episode. Was not pretty.

I'm so glad he is feeling better. Nothing worse then when your child is sick. I feel so blah. I just want to feel good again. Tummy issues and now a bad cold. Ugh!!!

Thanks. He's autistic. Some days are really really good and some days are really really bad. Yesterday, bad. So bad we get a call from the police. Off to get him. He's now grounded from going out after dark. EVER.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Oh, and I wish you'd feel better soon Lindley. Feeling sick all the time wears you down.

Lindley · Guru

Thank you NJN, I'm going to a GI Dr. next month and I hope to find some answers. It gets old. I know it could be worse though. I can't drink coffee and don't have much of a appetite. I really miss my coffee. (my husband misses me having coffee too!)

I do get to go see my grandson tonight. I'm so excited to see him. He is such a sweet little boy and has such big feet and long toes.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Wow, no coffee? That must be hard.

Lindley · Guru

It is... That is something I can't have right not that I miss the most. When I get better I think I'm going to drink a whole pot of coffee.

FNW · Guru

How old is he, NJN?

We had fun at the Verizon Center. They had stuff for the kids to do. Corn holes, basketball shoots, tattoos, hot dogs, and watch the Wizards practice. Bought them each a t-shirt and they got an autographed picture of Gortat.

ladyloonatic · Regular

It's been a long boring day at work. Seems like we're bored to tears or all he!!s breaking loose. No happy medium.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

I just got the coolest tea brewer ever. You put in a spoonful of loose tea and pour in the water over it, let it steep 2-4 minutes, and then you set the brewer on top of your mug which pushes in the bottom and drains strained tea into your cup. It is fabulous.

He's on the list for services for MHMR. That's mental health mental retardation. The guy told us they've just never updated the name. He qualifies but we're waiting on our number to come up for services. When it does DH and I can get a paid babysitter for 12 hours a month. It would be lovely to have date night without him calling constantly. They also have places to go during the day and he will get assigned someone to take him to activities. Right now it's just really difficult. At this moment he's at the local pet shop doing some volunteer work. We love him but he'll never be able to live independently. We'll have a string of really really good days and then a couple really bad ones. It's difficult.

FNW · Guru

I hope his number comes up soon, NJN. It must be very difficult, I'm sure.

Whenever I have a particularly bad day with the boys, I remember my cousin whose son was born with some defect where he cannot walk, talk, has to be fed through a tube in his stomach, and has been completely dependent on her for all of his 17 years of life.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Thanks. I think the worst part is my son looks so normal. You would never know by looking at him that he has issues. I think that's the hardest thing to deal with.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Jesse is going on his first date tonight.

He is meeting her at the movies.

He's nervous.

Lindley · Guru

Hope he has fun. First dates can be both scary and exciting.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Thanks Lindley.

I'm very proud of him.

Just last year, he wouldn't have even thought about asking a girl out.

He lives with autism as well, so this is a HUGE step for him.

FNW · Guru

I hope J has fun on his date! I hope she's worthy!

Oh first dates! Those were the days... I hope it I'd a success.
I hope Bunny and #2 are doing ok.
NJN I hope DS is feeling calmer now.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Thanks gals.

NJN, those bad days can be excruciating. I feel for you. And him.

So..Saturday I bought new work shoes. They were black sketchers. It took a while to purchase them due to Belk being busy and the person waiting on me kept bringing something similar. The pair I wanted was a wider relaxed fit shoe. I left the bag in the car since they were for work. This morning I started to grab them as I went into the building. Not only were they two different styles, they were both left shoes, lol. New shoes are on order because they didn't have anymore of what I wanted.

Two left shoes?! That's a big mistake. I hope you get the pair you wanted soon.

Tangerine · Guru

And I spoke too soon. Bunny was up to 102 this afternoon, so he will be staying home from school for the first time tomorrow. He seems to be feeling better at least.

Awe, Lindley, I so wish they could find the problem and fix it for you.

Glad you got to see your grandson!
