The day before Friday!

[rivers and roads]

It's 7:25am and I am already trying to get X down for a nap. So that's how our day is starting. Oooof.

[piperhalliwell]

I was already annoyed with work before I got out of bed this morning, so that bodes well for my day.

Morning. H has preschool this morning. I am debating between going to barre class or coming back home with S and just relaxing. Oh I also don't think I mentioned this. I got an email from Panera and I get a free bagel every day this month! So I'm totally going to get one after I drop H off.

That's a sweet perk! Enjoy your month of bagels!

4:45! 😳
I was able to fall asleep when he took a nap (I usually can't sleep once I'm up for the day) so I feel a bit better. We'll see how the day fares!

Nope! I'm just part of their rewards program. The email said they were picking random members for the free month of bagels.

Whaaat?! Yum. Their French toast bagels are the best. I love to toast them and then butter. So good. Whenever I go to GF I stop there and buy a few to bring home.

[trtlcrzy]

I think S might be sick. She woke up this morning at like 7:30. We dropped H off at preschool and she fell asleep in the car on the way home at like 8:45, this never happens. She woke when I pulled into the garage. After we got inside I ran around and did some things then nursed her and she fell back asleep. She's been sleeping since, from about 9:15/20, and it's almost 11. Her forehead feels clammy but not hot like she has a fever.

[piperhalliwell]

Sorry S isn't feeling well trtlcrzy. Hopefully she just needs some extra rest and will kick this soon.

People at work are driving me crazy today. Why is it so hard to do your damn job and accept responsibility when you screw up? And why am I left to clean up your mess??? Thank goodness it's Thursday so there's only one more day of these shenanigans before the weekend.

I'm sitting here trying to keep busy while I know Dh is interviewing (thanks for all the positive vibes!) I'm so nervous and excited for him.
There's a lot we're waiting to to/book because we want to know he has a job before booking extra expenditures. I'm even delaying hair appointments etc because if this doesn't work we will have no room for luxuries

Hope things went well for your H kellybenelly83.

Y'all. I have spent my entire workday searching for a space for some sorority girls to hold a 35 person yoga class tonight. This is not my job, but something I got roped into because one of my space managers screwed up. I'm so annoyed. At least I have an excuse to buy wine tonight.

[EatsRitz]

Good luck to your H, kellybenelly83! I hope he gets it!

I got an email from Panera at the beginning of March saying that if I visited 5 times that month, I would get a free you pick 2. I took that as a personal challenge and completed my 5 visits in the first couple of weeks.

[rivers and roads]

Guys. I just had the strangest experience at the post office. It involved a terribly racist lady, some general threats towards me and another customer, and her telling me my kid stinks.
It wasn't even a poopy diaper :-p

I need wine. I'm so wound up.

[piperhalliwell]

rivers and roads, WTF??? You deserve wine for dealing with that craziness.

So, the yoga room search has ended. After searching for a room all day and getting nothing else done, the contact emails me that they've decided to cancel the event "but thanks anyway." Can I share the wine?

So you were sent a goose hunt for no reason? That's so annoying.

[trtlcrzy]

So I totally forgot I had a work meeting tonight but DH reminded me at 2:30. I apparently had the time wrong, so since I was going to be 30 minute early I decided to stop for Starbucks.

[trtlcrzy]

So annoying piperhalliwell. You deserve more than a glass of wine.

rivers and roads yikes! Some people are awful.

[eyelashedviper]

It sounds like there were some odd days going around.

I hope your husband nailed it kellybenelly83! Did he he say how he felt about it afterwards?

[eyelashedviper]

I just spent the day at home with needy babies because it is dumping rain. L just wants to be picked up constantly in hopes of getting his hands on things on countertops and lightswitches etc.

I can't wait for the weather to clear up, I think we're starting to get cabin fever!

I'm also trying to decide what to do for footwear for L. He's at the point where he could start walking outside but the ground won't be dry here for a few weeks yet. I could probably keep him out of the muck for the most part but I'd like to do some farm visits over the next couple weeks. I was hoping to find a used pair of boots to tide us over but I haven't had any luck yet.

[kellybenelly83]

He said it went well, but the recruiter misinformed him about hours, and it's really not good with what we need. He figures 50/50 on him getting an offer, but it's really dependent on how flexible they're willing to be, and it doesn't seem that likely.
I'm super frustrated. It's the only solid lead in months, were 8 weeks away from unemployment and I don't know what to do to help. We've been looking at everything he's qualified for for any salary range, even huge drops, just to get the hours we need to keep a life at home with our baby. He does pick up in the evenings because I physically can't get home near daycare closing time, and he really wants to keep that up. He doesn't want to lose the already short time with Ryan. This is really upsetting me today, I know we will figure this out, and we will handle what comes, but some conversations were on hold until this got sorted and I feel like it all keeps getting further away.
The worst thing is that we both said this would be a non issue of his mom moved in which Is the eventual plan, but she can't leave her dad now because he's not well, and we of course don't want the circumstances that instigate her moving in to happen, but it would solve this completely.

[trtlcrzy]

DH called my frantically like 5 times in my work meeting. Apparently H got ahold of the oxiclean and scooped a bunch into the sink of her play kitchen. Then S are some. I texted him that I was still in my meeting and directed him to call poison control, and where to find the number. He is no good in emergency situations. Anyways, poison control said that she should be ok, she hasn't vomited or anything.

[trtlcrzy]

eyelashedviper S also likes to be picked up so she can reach things she's not supposed to have. Re boots: will his winter boots work for the interim?

kellybenelly83 sorry, that's frustrating. Would he consider working at Walmart or something like that until he finds something better?

So that whole "just like riding a bike" thing...yeah it's actually not that easy riding a bike when you haven't done it for probably 15 years. 🙈🚲 We took a bike ride after supper. Well, DS and I rode bikes and H walked pushing the smart trike. We need to get our bike trailer out and ready to use!

2 daycare kids are going to the doctor tomorrow morning and will probably be tested for influenza. I shouldn't have went against my better judgment and sent the kids to daycare today. 🙄 Freck. I have a work meeting in the morning and a ton of shit to do tomorrow.
