Going to look at a house with the kids today! They looked at it with her parents yesterday. Exciting.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Laura, House~ma to the kids.
Ugh, toddlers.
Toddlers be toddlin'.
Toddlers be tantruming.
Bronchitis sucks. I'm going to the doctor again tomorrow.
And DW had to pick up F from preschool for hitting. Again. Whyyy?????
Because hitting is very satisfying. Sad, but true.
Ugh, Glam. No advice but all the parenting empathy. ltc decided over Thanksgiving at Mom's that one of us had to be in the room with her when she fell asleep. It was a strange room and she was terrified. So, we obliged. Now she wants us sitting in the rocking chair in her room until she falls asleep at nap and bedtime. I stayed for a bit today and then left her to scream for a couple of minutes.
Ah, kids. Why so difficult?
sj, I feel you. Peanut used to be fine with me cuddling her for a bit at naptime & then putting her in her crib & walking away, but ever since we took the trip down to my parents, she's wanted me to stay & rub her back until she falls asleep.
Also, since it took 30 bloody minutes to find parking today (after a short jaunt to GG Park wherein most of the playground was soggy), she sobbed all the way through her lunch. Which I don't blame her for - I felt like breaking down myself after that ordeal.
I went to the doctor again today, got a steroid inhaler prescription. I'll see if this helps.
Also, ugh. I have to find a new primary care doctor. I asked if I could switch to Steph's Awesome Doctor (since I've been seeing someone else in the same practice, but I've had way too many issues with that person, so I want someone else), but they said that he's not taking new patients. The doctor I saw today was yet another doctor from that same practice -- just whoever had an appointment available this morning and wasn't the one that I hate -- and he was OK, and he is taking new patients, but the way he reacted to my walker and seeing the pain meds in my file sent some pretty big red flags, so, no. There's a Cincinnati EDS Facebook group that keeps a file of doctors that people recommend, so I guess I'll start calling around tomorrow.
Or, well, first I need to call three (crap, wait, no, four) other doctors that I already see, because I had to cancel appointments with them in the past few weeks for various reasons.
Dealing with medical stuff is practically a second full-time job, sometimes.
