Last night was not my proudest parenting moments. I was in a funk after talking to DH and he told me he was tired. Nope, no sympathy for someone who has been in a hotel alone for the majority of a week and a half.
I'm trying to change my attitude for today. Coffee in hand first dose of caffeine is always the best!
I need some of your productive energy, mrsmonogrammed, mine is gone this week. I also forgot my yogurt at home, so I'm already looking forward to lunch and it's only 9:30.
carrots, I'm also really excited for daylight savings time on Sunday so we can be outside (when it's nice at least. March has been kind of February-ish here). The biggest win? I realized that I agreed on a girls dinner for Sunday, not even realizing it's DST. So H will be doing solo bedtime that night. Or my kid will be awake at 8 still when I get home.

How is it only Wednesday? Ugh. My manager suspended or terminated (not sure which) 3 of our 9 person team Monday, plus one other is on vacation, so it's been a bit rough. To top it off, I got a message yesterday that I would have to finish out some stuff at the station. Okay, nbd, gets me around an hour of overtime. Nope. I earned over 3 hours of overtime, and as such, didn't even get home until 1:30 am.
I will be taking full advantage of double star day today.
carrots I definitely thought yesterday was Wednesday for most of the day!
This week has been pretty busy at work though, so you'd think it'd feel like the week was flying by. My replacement in my old job officially started last week so I've been training her a lot and I'm looking forward to washing my hands of that desk finally. Today I'm volunteering with my work's Women's Network; we're packaging up boxes of baby clothes for expectant families. Tomorrow we're having a team lunch to welcome me and another new girl to our work group. And our kitchen cabinets are being delivered.

Happy Wednesday!
Last night was fun, and I came home to a clean, quiet, house, which is always nice. Except BH is sick, so he was up a little before 10, and I was up until 11. I'm hoping I don't get a call from preschool because he seemed fine this morning, but we'll see.
When is daylight savings time? I need to know when I'm confused about what time zone I'm living in again. I never pay attention.
Today is dentist day. H took the day off since he also needed to go and it's in the city, so with all our appts it just made more sense. DS said he's feeling brave and didn't need to take a special toy with him so yay! He loved it last summer but now that he's older he had a lot more questions last night about going and was feeling concerned.
Tomorrow and Friday are supposed to be back down in the 20's. DH told me last night he can no longer wear his work jacket when he's welding because it has so many holes it starts on fire. (He's been welding off site and the job is all outdoors) Ok, C and I can go out and get you a new one plus the quilted bibs you need. Soooooo windy here that my car was attacked by 3 shopping carts. Causing a big scratch down the back drivers side door and broke my drivers side mirror. (I actually saw one of the carts hit my car and it came from the cart corral.) other than that our morning has been pretty good!

Jeepers sabrinaml, not a great morning. Stay safe!
My aunt just finished with her condo, and because she got all new appliances from Wolf/Subzero she gets free products. She's offering us a countertop convection oven. I should take it right? I feel like we don't really need it, but it can replace our toaster oven....
sabrinaml, I feel your pain. I was just about to come on here and whine about how windy it is. We have the Smart Things in our house, so my phone told me we lost power around 10. I checked the outage map, expected restoration is 11:30 p.m. - tomorrow. So I just hauled about four big grocery bags worth of food over to my mom's house and thanking my lucky stars she lives so close to us, and has a spare fridge/freezer in her basement. Also, we may be camping at Oma's tonight.
Afternoon! So blustery here today, lots of power outages and just walking the block to the courthouse I was getting hit with flying debris. One of the storm windows blew off our building and smashed glass all over the sidewalk, thank goodness no one was hurt! The window repair dude just got here.
My BFF is in town and she brought me a bagel this morning. So yummy. We are going to the mall tonight to look for something for her to wear to a funeral (reason she's in town, unfortunately). I hate the mall, but we will be together so I don't care. Also trying a new recipe tonight, broccoli and provolone ziti. Recipe if interested. www.theironyou.com/2017/02/creamy-baked-ziti-with-broccoli-and.html
Today has been....a day. Two kids from my first class got sent home with pink eye. I wrote a referral for student in my second class. Happy Wednesday.
We're in the process of refinancing our mortgage. Our house is being appraised Monday and we were told to stage it like we're selling. We have so much to get done between now and then. Luckily, Kon-Maring stuff has helped a bunch already.

Hey all.
DH was going to call current babysitter tonight to let her go, but it's international women's day and a pretty big holiday in Russia so I feel bad. Maybe he'll wait to call tomorrow. We're going to say my mom is going to retire and wants to help MIL watch M...And, I'm going to give her a weeks pay is severance. New babysitter set to start next Monday and my nerves are shot.
Between all the new teachers, therapists, and babysitters, I just want to drown my nerves in a bottle of red.
tiffbot DST is Sunday! "Spring forward" so we jump ahead an hour.
DH was working close to my office today so we were able to meet for lunch. It was nice to see him in the middle of the work day:)
Thanks for the heads up!! We don't recognize it in my province so I'm always trying to remember which time zone I'm currently living in and how many hours off I am from out of province friends haha.
Fun fact-I have been from Seattle to Montreal (straight across the entire continent) and only went back an hour to get to Seattle and only went ahead 1 hour to get to Montreal because of the times of year I travelled to each of those places. We are going to Toronto in May, which is closer to us than Montreal, and we'll be jumping ahead 2 hours. Haha! Weird. (And see? Why I'm always confused about what zone I'm in)
Well, I never did make the recipe because our power is out and will be for the next few days, most likely. We are at my parents which has been a nightmare because the kids won't sleep. DS just fell asleep a few minutes ago (just shy of 1am). jillywilly what's your status? We still don't have a restoration estimate.

We don't have power, and my mom doesn't have power - she was our back-up to go to, but she lost it about an hour after us. I just got a text from DTE that a crew has been assigned to our location, so fingers crossed we're one of the lucky ones that gets it back today, because last night it got cold in our house, especially since we lost power right when our thermostat is supposed to kick our heat on when we get home for the day. DS wound up in our bed around 9:30, so we were all able to snuggle and stay relatively warm in our bedroom last night, but I'm not sure what we're going to do if we don't have power by tonight again. Luckily, my office has power, and with as small of a company as we are, I'm here now enjoying electricity, my H is working from my office, and my mom (who also works here, so it's not as weird as it may seem) is hanging out with DS in her office for now.
jillywilly ugh sorry you're also dealing. We still don't have a crew assigned, but our cause has been updated from "investigating" to "wind damage". Umm duh? Anyway, it sounds like if they've got a crew out your way you should have it soon! Fingers crossed! I'm not sure what we will do if we don't get it back before tonight. Last night suuuucked and I don't think we want to do it again.
