I slept kind of like crap. I had a bad dream that woke me up because I couldn't breathe from holding my breath and then my heart felt like it was going to pound out of my chest. Thankfully I don't remember what the dream was about.
Morning back to work today. Yesterday I was mostly mia. I have crap service at my parents house and the electric was turn off at the house so no WiFi. They started construction on putting the ac in and needed to have the electric box replaced as well.
H had the great idea that we would "camp" in our backyard with the boys tonight. Our new tent arrived and is all set up. I'm dreading this. Our guys are finally sleeping and napping great (Ahhhh)! And I'm scared of messing it up...
I also had a bad dream last night, rvamama. I can't remember what it was about either, but I remember finally waking out of the dream in the MOTN and being relieved!
Nothing too exciting going on over here. M is doing really well with her walking. She's not great at walking in the grass or on gravel, but she's nailing smooth, flat surfaces! I love that she speed walks to me when I pick her up from DC. The teachers make sure she stands up and walks to me now!
Tomorrow is water play for the kids, so I have to get that ready for her. I wasn't sure if the older infants were allowed to play, but they assured me she can take part. Yay! My mother was not the best parent and wasn't vey present, and I remember having to sit out water play because she'd forget to send my bathing suit and what not. I do not want M to feel the same disappointment. Sounds silly, but it's important to me.
I'm getting my hair cut tonight! Nothing crazy, as I don't want to go too drastic before the wedding. I haven't had my hair cut since December. I'm overdue! It's long and scraggly and in need of TLC.
babys2015, I agree with rvamama - HAVE FUN IN THE YARD, BOYS! and starfish that bed ;-) It'll be fun.. one night shouldn't throw them off!
malvo, Oooohh.. what you gonna do to your hairs?? I'm planning to get one by end of next week, but I can't decide what to do / how short! I'm scared, but I think I need to a huge change.
ladymike I usually walk into the salon and tell my hairdresser to have at it! I instruct her to keep the length, but get rid of the bad stuff, and then she goes to town from there. I do want some face-framing / longer bangs because I have a big forehead and could use some coverage
malvo I know that disappointment. My parents were present, BUUUUTT we often didn't have money for this or that. ladymike I love drastic hair changes. Do it! I like to search hair styles and thought these would look good with your face shape
malvo here are some pretty hairstyles for long hair, gives you shape without losing your length!
malvo, I wish I had your guts! I'd be so terrified to say, GO FOR IT! Hahah. Maybe that's my problem, though. I can't decide so I need to leave it up to the pros.
rvamama, you should see my web broswer right now! The amount of tabs open with hair photos, LOL. I actually have #4! I might even go shorter.. *gasp*! I love my long hair, but I can always grow it back.

rvamama Sorry about the dream - those are awful. Glad the kids slept!
babys2015 I'm torn between saying try to have fun and I would be putting my foot down and saying no. I hope it goes well. I'll be waiting for the verdict tomorrow...
malvo Have fun with your haircut tonight! Pics or it didn't happen.

Sorry I disappeared yesterday. Long story short, they have to drop the transmission in Ray's truck and repair the front pump seal. Minimum 5 hours of labor for the job. Minimum $1k. And they haven't even LOOKED at the AC yet.
Apparently the guy was like "well for a thousand bucks we can repair this transmission or for two thousand bucks we can replace it with a used transmission."
I'm all...........
So for twice the cost I can have a different used transmission? I already have a used transmission.
SOOO.. I found a job I want. In fact, I found it previously but did not apply because I don't think I actually can work for this agency. Now, it's been reposted. I think that's a sign? Right? So, I reached out to see if it's even a possibility. Hoping so and then I'll apply! It would not be a promotion or any kind of pay increase, BUT I think you're all well aware of my current situation, so it makes A LOT of sense to give a shot. Ha!
pearsforpoops that sucks about his truck. Did they say how long gone it will take to do everything?
They're hoping to have it done today, assuming they don't run into anything unexpected. But IDK if that includes even checking the AC.
FFThC - I sort of hope they forget about the AC and he can just deal with it the rest of the summer and we can fix that next spring. Because DAY-YUM I don't want to spend that much on his friggin truck right now.
They said I cannot apply. OH WELL. At least I know! I'd basically have to sever all relationship with our business in order to not cause a conflict of interest. F'in government.

Have to type quickly because the tiny dictator is all sorts of needy today.
rvamama - Sorry about the bad dream! They're the worst!! Also, I'm gonna need you to come style my hair please. It hasn't been cut since Christmas? maybe, and I dyed it myself, I don't remember when...
@megaugust10 - Yay for AC!
babys2015 - GL! Just remember that you're making memories Whats the weather forecast for the night?
malvo - Woohoo for walking and water day! Have fun with your haircut!
pearsforpoops - Ugh! That's the worst! And I'm with you - wtf to a used transmission?
ladymike - I say go for it!! I used to use the phrase, the worst they can say is no, and then I asked for a raise and they said, we're lowering your current rate by $5. Ha. But my case is weird so, I'm going with - the worst they can say is no. Haha. Oh just saw your update. Crap
flat0422 - I'm glad you had a good birthday! Enjoy your visit!
