Good morning ladies! MHs scheduling completely screwed me today. The way it works right now is that he doesn't know his schedule until the day before at 3. If they dont have work for him by then, they give him a time to come in and sit until work becomes available. He gets paid whether he works or not. Well he went in this morning for 6:30 and sat there until 7:30 when they gave him work. He won't be done until after 8. I am supposed to work today but now I can't. Not only do I not have a sitter, but he has my car. I'm so pissed.
Lots of ice here today. My car was covered this morning but I managed to get J dropped off and get to the train. The road to DC was a skating rink and I almost slid into another car and the snowbank but luckily was able to stop.
I'm hoping the rest of the day is a little less stressful! Yesterday I worked for 10.5 hours so I am planning on leaving early today.
We saw the ENT yesterday for an ear recheck and surgery consult. He decided to post pone her surgery. He was surprised how much better hear ears/tubes looked. So now we go back in 6 weeks and see how they are looking.
It's icy here and all the schools are closed. I made it to work safe and sound. I'm going to call around at some point and schedule quotes for central air. MH and I are finally going to break down and get it. It will help sell the house too in a couple of years.
Gonna be brave and take W to story time at the library, we've never gone because they only had it on days I work, but they changed it up for winter 2017.
Hopefully W does ok. I'm nervous about it.
I'm desperate for mom friends. I realized when my mom went out of town I have no other friends but her. All of my friends moved way out of town, plus they don't have kids and aren't home during the day. My evenings are dinner, cleaning, play, bath, bed, but I need something during the day.
linny12, have fun! I'm sure it will be great. Maybe check FB for a local moms group in your area. They often plan activities and events during the day. I should know, I got kicked out of my local group for not attending any of events that were all during the traditional workday.

I understand how you feel. I want to go to our library story time so badly but I really dont think C would do well. He sits still for nothing. Im waiting until his communication improves a bit.

...you can be kicked out of a moms group? Thats intense. Youd think itd be a lot more casual than that. Im just picturing some bitchy women with thick rim glasses and a slicked back, high bun marking off an attendance sheet and tsk'ing you for not making the playdate AGAIN. God, Honda. Priorities.

It took me a bit to figure out I was kicked out. When I figured it out I just laughed and thought they weren't very inclusive of ALL types of moms. The admin kept posting that if you didn't attend any activities you would be kicked out of the group. The activities scheduled were all in the middle of the day. That's great that all these people that could make it to daytime activities, but I can not. Kicking me out was rather bitchy. I wasn't hurting anything by being part of the group. We talked about mom stuff, stuff to do with the kids around town, recommendations, etc. I guess I just wasn't a "real" member.

That's horseshit. Sounds like some SAHMs that dont want working moms harshing their vibe. How could we possibly find anything in common?!
obi right?!?!?! I remember thinking to myself, "well if you want to be a group just for stay at home moms then say that." We have plenty of other stuff in common, but ok if this is your hill to die on have fun policing that shit.

Exactly! Just call it "city and area SAHM group" and be done with it. Personally, if I were in a mom group id want to interact with working moms. Im sure I could learn a lot. Plus my H isnt always on a day shift so itd be nice to know people who are looking for things to do in the evenings when he is on the late shift and Im alone. Id also be more than happy to lend a hand to a working mom friend who is dealing with something like a daycare closure on short notice. Funny how diverse groups of people seem to be a beneficial thing *eyeroll* but yeah, just stay safe in your bubble ladies.
obi, exactly. If it would have been a SAHM group I wouldn't have joined. I would've respected the fact they wanted a group to discuss things specific to SAH and do things during the day. But hey, apparently mommy wars are a real thing. That's what I love about this place, we are all different and we learn so much from each other and different life experiences.

I mean, Trump won the election so I am just sittin here, waiting for all my M15 friends to start the great migration

I took ds to story time this morning. He sat their stone faced through the whole thing. When I asked him if he liked it, he shook his head no. Lol. Well ok then.
