Oops I just started a Tuesday thread too. I switched it to be about planner but it won't change the title on mine...
Hi everyone! I've missed checking in a few days. Sumer school starts today and it's a little more planning than I thought but I'm actually enjoying it. I miss planning for classes that aren't all about computers! Also Mh had an interview yesterday that seems promising!

Gooodddddddddd morning! I'm currently just hanging out and drinking coffee. I'm trying to work on waking up earlier since it's getting hotter and I like drinking some coffee before LO wakes up. Not sure what's on the game plan today.
Hi ladies! PNR because I have a depo starting in a little bit and have a tiny bit more prep to do. Clients are already bombarding me with emails this morning and IDGAF.
Today: Job transfer interview possibly en español possibly in English, what a fun surprise Sister arrives for beginning of 8 day stay. Apartment is a disaster zone. Took 2 days off Thurs and Fri to hang with sister which means I have to squeeze a normal week into the next 2 days as I spent all day yesterday trying to prepare for the interview. Big project due 2nd week in July that's a make it or break it thing. If I stay.
reginaphalange3, Glad you're enjoying your summer classes! GL to YH! Mine is still waiting to hear back from his old job, he got the offer but wants more pay. Each day he flip flops on wanting to go back. He likes his current pay and overtime but then on the hot days he'll come home ready to quit. I don't know what is going to happen. BabyStandish, your Tuesday sounds like it's starting off right! dashook, GL on your deposition! bkmama0, That's a lot going on! Just do your best without stressing out! That's how I attack my house cleaning too...what are my worst offenders and once I get those done, I am ok with just a messy house.
Morning! Just working towards the weekend. Hoping to be more productive today than yesterday. And it's not in the 90's today so I plan on taking my afternoon walk.
Clinical today, then celebrating a late Father's Day dinner since my H worked on Sunday. My oldest leaves for Scotland in the morning for two weeks! I'm going to miss her...I'm trying not to get too emotional. I hope the world can behave itself while she's gone.
Coffee, naps, and well behaved toddler wishes for you all!
I did the interview and it was half in English half in Spanish and pretty difficult but I don't think I embarrassed myself and I didn't freeze up so. Está bien The interviewer has a baby too, so we bonded over that at the end. If I get the job, yay, if not at least I had the cojones to try it

Good morning ladies,
Not much going on here today. Just working on homework and projects.
Not to be a Debbie downer but I got into it with DH last night and had a huge meltdown and cried a lot.
He basically told me he wasn't sure if he wanted to TFAS right now and that it's stressing him out.
I'm sooo pissed off I can't think straight.
It's not like this is new news. He's known since December and now that my cycles are semi straightened out and predictable you want to tell me this right when I'm supposed to O and expecting sex.
Sorry for the rant. I'm just still really fucking ragey.
Ok ladies a lot has happened since I spoke with you last on Sunday! DH found a new house to go look at (we are still waiting on the contract for the other house) yesterday so we went last night. The house is amazing. New wood flooring bigger house. But no outside shop for hubby or barn for me and we would need to bring in some fill for the property. Also needs a pool. Well we put in an offer and we are waiting to hear back. Both house are great in their own way. This house is about 20 minutes closer then the other to work and family. So fingers crossed. As far as LO we went to the Peds yesterday and he said his ears are good just a cold with a nasty cough. I have him some lemon to see if it would help break it up. LO is down for a nap so I'm going to do the same.

Well I'm a freaker outter and POAS this morning. Negative. Still pretty early but it gave me some peace of mind for today at least. I'm doing a transportation survey thing for the U.S. Dept of Transportation today and they're going to send me $20 for it. Score!
reginaphalange3 keeping fx for yh! BabyStandish that sounds glorious. I'm not a morning person, but if lo ever decides to sleep past 6 am, I'll probably take advantage of the quiet like you are. dashook hope work goes by quickly for you. bkmama0 breathe, mama, you got this! Sending you all kinds of good vibes for your interview. littlelion I'm enjoying the cooler weather too! kcrus what's she doing on Scotland? What a cool opportunity for her! ourcrazynavylife that really sucks. Hugs to you. babyw15 fx one of those houses works out for you!
laceysbryan I hope that things work out the way you'd like them to. Hugs! There's no right or wrong way to feel about stuff like that.
It's finally nice outside instead of feeling like you're melting the instant you step outside, so lo and I took a walk and ended up at the park. Some older kids were there and were fawning all over lo. He was shy but loving all the attention at the same time. Now he's napping and I should probably take advantage of this time to get stuff done.

babyw15 Wish I was taking a nap! Hope you and your LO enjoy it! ourcrazynavylife Sorry about YH. Did he give you a reason? I know he's looking into getting out of the navy (yes?) so is he just stressing in general? bkmama0 Glad your interview went okay! I minored in Spanish a million years ago but I couldn't do half an interview en español to save mi vida. Can barely do half a sentence. kcrus Hope you guys enjoy your post-Father's Day celebration. Hug your DD tight tonight! littlelion GL on the productivity. I'm not doing a great job at that today. dashook Ugh. Glad I don't have typical clients. MH has clients blowing him up all the time and it's so annoying, even for me. BabyStandish Hope you have a happy toddler and a good day today even with no big plans for the day. reginaphalange3 GL with summer school starting, and fx for your YH!

BabyStandish hope your day is as good as your hot cup of coffee this morning dashook hope your depo goes well! bkmama0 so impressive you went for that job, glad the interview went well! Hope your two work days are productive and quick! littlelion thanks GL to YH too! It's so hard knowing when to try to get more or when you'll negotiate yourself out of the job. Being in teaching I don't get much negoatiation (most everywhere has a pay scale) so it's a whole complicated world to me! Hope he gets the extra pay and that you enjoy your afternoon walk! kcrus hope your 'fathers day' is fun! And how exciting for your dd! ourcrazynavylife I'm sorry that really sucks! Mh goes back and forth about when to tfas and I know how frustrating it can be! Hope he changes his mind back! babyw15 good luck with the houses and hope you enjoyed your nap! laceysbryan yay for $20! And glad that you at least know what's going on for today! ashlantic glad you had some nice weather! Relaxing during nap time is necessary sometimes too!

laceysbryan yes, he's submitted his paperwork to separate. It's been approved and is now up at "big Navy" so they can find a replacement for him. We're looking at a February-ish separation date.
He's in full on CRISIS mode. Has no idea what he's going to do when he gets out. But staying in isn't really an option because he's miserable at his job (and there isn't anything for him to switch to). But he's also adamant about not becoming a stay at home dad and hates the idea of following me around for the rest of my career.
It's causing him a ridiculous amount of stress and I sort of feel like I'm getting the brunt end of it and basically am just kinda feeling a little neglected over here.
LO's dentist appt went well yesterday. The dentist asked me why she was there. I just told him DH had braces in HS, I have overcrowded, crooked teeth, so we're trying to get a good early start on her tooth care. Everything looks great, and we'll be back in a year. Our car is making a funny noise now. It's DH's commuter car and it just died on him on his way home last night. He waited a few minutes, started the car and chugged his way home. He said it's making this funny noise now. Greeeeaaat. It does have almost 250k miles on the sucker. I'm supposed to be calling AAA to have them tow it somewhere, but I hate picking out a mechanic. I would rather go bathing suit shopping. I don't think it's worth fixing and that we should just break down and buy a new (even if just to us) car. He was trying to make the argument of selling his truck, and relying on the car until winter. I'm hoping these new facts will change his mind. I love that truck (despite it's huge) and it's almost paid off. My mom gave LO and me a ride to Target so I could get two things. Almost $100 dollars later, and I'm walking out with new jammies for her and me, and a bunch of stuff for her to play with. I think I spend more when I take LO with me. Triple digit heat wave passing through here today. Yay. Good thing we have LO's pool set up in the backyard.
Lo is currently entertained by picking up dirt and dropping it into the lawn. I should probably get this poor kid a sand box.
He took a pretty awesome nap this afternoon so I had time to make haircut appointments for both myself and lo (not doing it myself again... sorry for the bad haircut, lo), make plans for our anniversary on Saturday, get dishes done and laundry put away, and even read a bit! Now we're hanging out outside again until dh gets home, and then I'm going out to dinner with some friends.

ourcrazynavylife Sorry mama. Big creepy Internet hugs. Whenever MH is stressed I go from partner to emotional punching bag it seems like (not in like a terrible emotionally abusive way, but in an asshole for no reason way).
ourcrazynavylife that sounds like such a frustrating situation for both of you. raven we just got out of the 90s here, I don't even want to think about triple digits! Good luck with the car situation. I agree with you about just getting a new one. My old car was leaking oil and when I took it in they found several more things wrong with it. The cost of repairs was more than what my car was worth, so we traded it in and got a new to us one.
ourcrazynavylife *creepy hugs* I'm sorry you're having to go through this. He's been working on it through the years, but DH can get that way sometimes. I hope it passes soon.
