Tomorrow I'm dropping off M with FIL's wife and I'm doing a paint & sip with two friends. We are painting a goat. Yes, a goat. It's actually cooler than it sounds. I'll make sure to share my masterpiece. I'm excited for my goat painting and to have some "me" time. Clearly I'm a teensy bit stressed and grumpy. I love my baby, I love my pets, I love SO... but I need to escape from all of them for a few hours!
I'm here as well! Gotta leave work in a few because N is sick and MH has work to do. So, I came in the for the morning.. just to make an appearance, I guess. No fever anymore but she couldn't go in to DC. I actually have no idea how she is because no one gives me info. Hmph. Oh well, just pumped to GTFO of here and have a 3 day weekend!!
Also, I bought grape leggings this morning!!!! I hope they are slightly more attractive in person? Like, less puke green, more... hunter or dark army green. We'll see. I just know that I'm supposed to have grape leggings.

Whelp, we did the doctor this morning. M had his 4 month appointment-he grew so much since 2 months! He has shot up to 99% in height. His head is a mess-he scratches it so much at night. So now we have to put oil on it and some hydrocortosone cream. I hope we can get it better because right now it looks like I swung him through a briar patch by his heels. Miss Jo had her 18 month appointment (a month late) and she actually lost weight, which is weird. But she is taller and thinning out. I also put her hair in a ponytail today for the first time and she looks like such a big girl.

There is a huge Folk Festival this weekend in RVA, and one of the acts came to our school to perform this morning! It was a Tejano band from Texas and they were so good! The kids were all dancing and they really liked it.
Plus, I got out of teaching my least favorite class. SO maybe today won't suck!
malvo, me time sounds great! I'd love to paint a goat! Can't wait to see your results. ladymike, I'm sorry N feels bad. I hope it passes quickly. But it's a long weekend so yay!! I'm ready to leave work. I'm so excited about going to the fair tonight. We drive past it everyday and all I hear from the backseat is "go to fair and see animals!"
Afternoon. Went to the consignment sale this morning. E will be a koala bear for halloween. They had brand new costumes with the tags still on for $9. We got 8 different things and only paid $7 for everything
I totally posted in yesterday's thread instead of today's. That shows the kind of week it's been. First week as an agent in the books!
I get my hairs done tomorrow and need a change. Bah. I wish I had more hair to work with, or smaller frame so I could go pixi or something dramatic like that.
graciest719 f still hasn't had her 18 month appointment. It's on the 18th because I had to reschedule. Twice. Also, I didn't realize the folk festival was this weekend. Ducky weather for it again.
Morning! I'm finally here. Feels like I've been up forever. malvo- enjoy the goat paint & sip. Curious to see how it turns out! sjep922- I hang out with my mom a lot too. Hope you guys have a great time! ladymike- of course you must buy all the grape things. They will prob look very cute when it's an entire outfit, not just looking at the one piece. babys2015- Enjoy the outside time! I'm sure the boys love that stuff! graciest719- poor M! Hopefully the oil and cream will help!! Also- I love a good toddler ponytail. Wish V would let me do it. Her hair is long enough, she just acts like I'm trying to torture her when I do her hair. bekbek- Trip to the fair sounds fun!! @megaugust10- Koala bear costume for Halloween?? Adorable!! I hope we get to see a pic of E in it!
So the friend who offered me her double stroller for our trip went to pull it out and it had a major flat. Needs a new tube. Ok, I went to bike shop to get it, they're out of that size and target doesn't seem to have anything either. Going to text another friend about her stroller, and after that I freaking give up. If I didn't know my H would hate me for it, I'd just go buy a double! Everyone who's done it recently agrees we will need it for our 4 y.o. Also, packing sucks and I hate it. I know I'll be happy when we get there, but leading up to trips and all the prep stress me out. Off to do some shopping therapy/buy "things we need" and want for the trip and the quick lunch at Olive Garden with my sister. I don't think I can adequately express how much I love their minestrone soup and salad lunch.

malvo, Have so much fun at paint night! Also just piggybacking from yesterday....don't even stress about your feeding debacle with M. Kids are picky, and there are way worse things to fight over. TBH I would live off of nachos given the choice so obvs one day M will expand her palate

Morning!!
Not much going on for us around here......our friends wedding is tonight and then we have to be up bright and early to go and *hopefully* get a new truck tomorrow. Thank god its a 3 day long weekend.
OOH also....I have to see my ex tonight at the wedding. He was a really really awful person and did some pretty bad stuff and I have successfully managed to avoid him for 3+ years, until tonight. MH wants to kill him and I just want to be invincible and not see him. I feel like I shouldn't care, but I am just dreading the entire situation. Thankfully, our friends put our tables on opposite ends of the place
maddisonrose we are going to see girl on the train!! It comes out today, but we can't see it until next weekend. Also, gl tonight at the wedding. Fx you can avoid him.
malvo glad you found someone to watch M! Were closed Monday for a training and i had a heart attack. Its usually only at our school but this time its like an hour away, the whole district will be there plus corporate so i cant bring P and no one thought to tell me this before yesterday. Uhhh HELLO my H hasnt been home since March and the daycare is closed. What do you expect me to do with my kid? I cried to MIL and she is watching P, thank god!
I talked with the recruiter today and someone else handles setting up the interview. I should get something Monday on when it is and if early enough in the week will know next Friday if I have it or not. They are hiring for 3 positions
