FREAP CHAT Part 2 ~ Everyone Welcome to our new digs

[maddhatir]

I have been haunted by those fugly green undies for months (for some reason I cannot throw them out ). Hopefully they came to some use if they managed to make Kellie smile .

I KNOW! Cut a hole in the crotch to put your head through and wear it as a shirt!

Could your pain be coming from the numbing shot place healing? Or can you tell that it is from the tooth fer sure?

No- I have had the pain since before my root canal. And I did not get a shot today.

He tapped on both of my teeth in front and behind the tooth and neither one of those hurt- I then had to bite down on a bite stick so that he can test each tooth with that.

It was always the same one.

It just seemed like it all started b/c a few months ago- I needed the tooth refilled. It was fine and did not hurt before the filling.

Sometimes it seems they do more harm than good.

Can't blame you there.

does that help any?

Does he have wads of cash in his pocket??

Okay, I had to share this photo of DD and Tiki since I mentioned them already. This was taken about a year ago but it was such a cute moment. Its one of my favorite pictures.

Cute pic! Your daughter is adorable!

Sometimes it seems they do more harm than good.

ITA! Don't mess with a good thing! It will cost ya. Literally!

everyone must be busy.
I am still in the hold pattern with the DRS. They want the infectoin to clear up some before they open me up but that is not working out.
My stomach can not handle the pills anymore so hopefuly they tell me by the end of the week what is the plan.


But on a good note John has a job interveiw on Fridaycool1: :

Kellie- I hope you are feeling better soon-

Hopefully there is good news for both you and John any day now!

I'm with you on this one-I'm not crazy about DDS myself. We had a great DDS before we moved here, she would only do what needed to be done and tried to save us as much money as possible but not this new DDS-he seems to like our money and I hate switching DDS now that I have had x-rays with him and the start off procedures. Its just YUCK I tell ya! I wish there was a way we could get a refund on procedures that don't work or were the wrong decision.

I just changed DDS last year. The old DDS was a bit spiteful about transferring my records over. When I requested the entire mold of my mouth, they said I had to prove I had paid for it...otherwise, it was staying with them. What DDS makes an entire plaster mold of a patients' mouth out of the goodness of their heart!?? Yep, it was past time to move on.

Congrats on the 500 milestone!!

I'm so upset and frustrated with my son right now. I don't know what we are going to do with him. He has decided this week that he is no longer going to nap. Every day I read him a story, put him down and he says "I'm going to take a good nap today Mommy." Then 10 minutes later he's yelling at the top of his lungs for me. I go down and threaten him with assorted punishments and then 10 minutes later he's doing it again. I worked last night and slept 3 hours at the most when I got home, so I REALLY need a nap too. DD still takes a nap also and she can't sleep either when he's screaming and yelling. He has never been a good sleeper and very rarely sleeps through the night without DH or myself having to go down to appease him. I am so insanely tired of it after over three years. Maybe it seems worse this week since we got the kitty and he kept us up for a few nights too. I am trying not to cry I am just so tired and wondering where we went wrong with him. He also fights, hits, throws things and yells A LOT! I feel like such a bad mommy. I hate punishing him all the time especially since DD ends up being punished as well. We got them one of those cheap water slides to put in the yard last weekend and we still haven't put it up because every day it's something else terrible he does. I told them this morning that I would take them to see WALL-E tomorrow or Monday IF they would let me take a nap today but I guess that's a no-go now. And I wanted to see it too. What am I doing wrong? I really don't have any ideas right now. At this moment he's down there alternately screaming "Is it morning yet?" and "Turn my music back on!" And the worse part is alas, the rum is gone.

Awww....I have no advice for you but can offer you a

My DS was the very same way for years and I just spent all that time sleep deprived. He NEVER did take a nap and DH would 'take over' when he would come home from work....I remember falling asleep sitting up many many times over those years.

ETA: I know you can't go much longer without some more sleep. Would you be willing to lay down with him so that, if he gets out of bed while you are sleeping, you would feel it/know it?

I am now officially a DIS veteran!! I hit 500!!!

Okay I am still waiting to hear wth is going to go on with me.
When they called me today they wanted to know if I am still running a fever. I said no. They told me that is a good thing. I knew that.
But one DR thinks I need to stay on the antibiotics until my blood work gets better. One Dr wants to deal with this now. So they are going to get in touch with my onocologist to see if they believe I am strong enough to go thru this now. So me being me ask if I could at least go back to work until they get a plan. I never heard my DR laugh so much.

Threaten them with going to work if they do not give you an answer soon!

I hope they can agree on something soon for your sake and it does not turn into a Pi$$ing match between docs!!

Marna- you know I do not have kids- and the only advice I can give you is what I see on Super Nanny But if you are desperate, you can try it

I am sure you seen the darn show and who am I to tell you this! She said if they come out of their room or get out of bed- you do not speak a word to them and just keep picking them up and putting them back into bed- still without saying anything. One episode I saw This poor woman looked like she was going to DROP from exhaustion just from having to keep putting her kid back to bed- he was like the energizer bunny! But he finally went down.

And you have to use the naughty spot! Don't give in and be consistant.

It always works on TV!

That is all I know

Take a deep breath.....and......WHY IS THE RUM GONE!!!!

Madd: You take pretty good notes! I have to say that this is worth a shot to try. I know its tough not to lose patience when you are soooo exhausted. Heck, I have a hard time not losing my patience when I'm not exhausted! DD doesn't take a nap everyday but I would say she takes one every other day. Some kids just don't need the naps like others i guess-which sucks for us moms!

You are not a bad mom. He is just testing the water. DD did this also. It was a mess. So I did an alarm clock in her room. When it went off she was done from nap time. She learned fast to keep her self busy.

Threaten them with going to work if they do not give you an answer soon!

I hope they can agree on something soon for your sake and it does not turn into a Pi$$ing match between docs!!

I had talked to my good boss today and told him I was going to be coming back if they do not decided soon. He said sure as long as your DR sends him the paperwork. He said he knows I am bored but I need to do what they say.
Plus he said he has my work job under control

I have to share some excitement with ya'll! I just reserved a five day stay for WDW the week after Thanksgiving!

I have to have you alls help though-with encouragement to SAVE SAVE SAVE!!! I am doing videos for Expo TV again and I am doing surveys on Myview for money so that I can use that money to pay for our trip and that it doesn't come out of DH's salary. Any other money making ideas I could do from home that would be easy to do with having a 3 yo at home with me? I have even started CVSing to save money on necessities.

 

[maddhatir]

Madd: You take pretty good notes! I have to say that this is worth a shot to try.

I was always curious to find out if parents tried this out IRL? It all seems peachy keen on TV, that's for sure!

There are some things my SIL does (or does not do) and DH and I will say, "Super Nanny says......." she gets PO'd

So sorry you are dealing with this. 5 is a pretty typical age for giving up the naps. I used 'quiet' time when my DD was letting napping go. She would be required to lay down and read or play quietly for a set period of time. If after 15 minutes or so she was up and about, I knew that a nap would not be in the cards for that day, but there were a few times when she would fall asleep.

It is especially hard when Mom needs the nap more than the child.

WOW! That is awesome news!

We have been to Disney the past few years at that time! The weather is nice and the crowds are not too bad!

Have you even been at that time of the year??

Good for you. I would love to go around that time. We have been at everytime of year except Thanksgiving and Christmas.
What is Myview? I have never heard of it.

By brother needs super Nanny to go to his house. His kids I love to death but they are out of control.
Not with me anf John they know that does not fly with us

Take a deep breath.....and......WHY IS THE RUM GONE!!!!

It never worked with my son. The only thing that did was create an all day focus on trying to keep that kid down...it would turn into hours of repeatedly putting him down. Until I had to stop to make dinner. Then, I would tell DH what I did all afternoon and he would look at me like I was and ask me wth I didn't get anything else done all afternoon. Then, the next day, DS was ready for a full day of negative attention again. We got so we gave up on pushing nap time but we would put DS to bed early. That was a regular routine of bath time, quiet time, reading a book, and then lights out. It helped that there were 2 of us enforcing the night time routine. But, that experience still doesn't help Marna out. She has a different dynamics at her house in that she has to sleep a certain time and has to work a certain time.

I can guess why the rum is all gone! Marna, pick up 2 bottles next time!!
