Thank you! Everything went well. Nothing they see. Took a biopsy. Got a new IUD. Could be early menopause. Retesting labs in a couple weeks. I’m only 39, so if it’s that it is early. But if it’s that then that’s a normal part of life and so I’m fine with that. Being that early they may put you on hormones or such so that it doesn't go all the way through. I went through this at 34. Now I take meds and wear hormone patches to stop it. Thank you for reminding me of this. I remembered you sharing it before. Thank you for your support ❤️

I will likely not be puttimg new flooring today. Dd2 started puking a little after 9pm, and comtinued on until 4:30 this morning. She slept on thr living room floor, and I was on the couch with her so i didnt get much sleep. After I take dd1 to school I need to shampoo dd2 carpet where all of her dinner landed, and then I'm taking a nap. A very long one, preferably in my bed.

rainbowsockmonkey I have almost the same exact curtains and we just had our floors done a few months ago and it is just about the same color. Ours doesn't have the hint of brown. If you need a rug recommendation when you're done, let me know 😂

I'm still sick. I no longer think it's from DD1, since she bounced back so quick. Anyways, I went to the doctor yesterday, and it's the flu. Apparently, it's been going around.

Sorry you got the flu, athena. Hopefully you don't have too many days of it left now, and no secondary infections develop! It's going around a lot here too. A lot. DNW! Healthy wishes to you and also hoping the rest of your family can dodge it! For entertainment: my phone wanted to change 'dodge' (must have actually typed an i not an o) to 'didgeridoo' 😅

So thankful for you all. The older I get I feel that I feel most comfortable being a bit more introverted than extroverted. I have lots of friendships but few that I feel are really close. I find more closeness in family and find less worry about trying to fit in with others. I feel comfortable and safe in this group. Thank you for that. (This coming from seeing many celebrations that I think we were left out of. Either because I am not close enough to them, am not into fashion and nights outs as much, or maybe they know we could be leaving soon and do not want to invest.) Also happy Easter to those who celebrate!

Playdate question. What do you as parents do while your kids have kids over? Involvement? I'm sorry pre pandemic; she was kind of too young to have drop-off playdates. I now don't know what I'm doing.

So…exciting news! H is going to accept the offer and we will move at the end of the summer. We are trying to make an off market offer for a house that has been on the market in the past. The owner is thinking about selling, and will make a decision soon. No one lives in the house now (it needs some work, but we love the location, house size, and yard size), but the seller still doesn’t want to sell it. There are no 4 bedroom properties available so I’m praying she wants to sell it to us at a reasonable price (last asking price). I also just contacted a daycare for ds3 (and possible aftercare for ds1&2). All of this is still secret for at least 2 weeks. We haven’t decided about selling our house here- we are just too attached right now, but I think if we buy another it might make it easier to process the sale. Otherwise we can try to rent it. I really don’t want to tell my boss. I dread it. But since I cannot say anything for a couple weeks I will just try not to think about it. Any good thoughts or prayers are appreciated!!

Exciting and nerve racking@activebaby! Do you have any job thoughts? I hope you hear good news about the house soon. The housing market is insane right now. The only bright side is if you decide to sell your current home, it will probably bring in a good profit.

The only bright side is if you decide to sell your current home, it will probably bring in a good profit. I’m looking at jobs. I contacted a daycare today close to the house we want. It’s all so theoretical, but I figure I’ll be on a waitlist anyway. I am also looking at afterschool care. Once we find a house and a elementary school I can look for aftercare at the school once we register, but I can’t register until I have an address and utility bill. I feel like once I have childcare then I can really start looking for a job. It will be 3-3.5 months until I would need to start a new job so I think the timing is okay to start looking. My license is compact so it’s good in many states. H’s license can take 5-14 months to process. He started this process in early January, and it looks like they finally have all paperwork to start the licensing process finally. Big hurdles right now- need va offer (got one but until all the pre-offer paperwork is completed it is a tentative offer with no $ attached. Until we have that we cannot get financing), need to sign duke and va contracts, need to decide to sell or rent, need childcare and school registration, need to buy/rent/live with family, and need to move (and maybe storage until we can find a house), and I need a job. Before that we need to get our yard re-mulched and add more pine straw.

Congrats activebaby! Maybe think about taking some time off to get everyone acclimated so you won’t be so stressed.

I’m at my in-laws for the first time since thanksgiving 2019. Mil was just telling us how she “hired a cheap Mexican to mow her lawn”. So cringe, yet so on brand.

I see time has changed nothing for your MIL. Mine was here for A's birthday party last weekend and she was on a roll. At one point, she stood in my living room brushing her teeth, stopped to talk to me with toothpaste in her mouth (while I was eating), and then wiped her face on the hand towel in the bathroom 🤬 she also gave A a Barbie from 1991 and told my mom that A has curly hair because her brother had curly hair 🤔
