Monday's Back...

[judyblume14]

Sup.  Happy Monday.  I have a doctor appt today, which means I'll treat myself to an Einstein Brothers sandwich/wrap for lunch. Yum!

@lildiamondeyes, just saw you post from yesterday - congrats on the weight loss!!

@kait20122014 - how are you feeling?

anniebn - how are your mom and MIL doing?  Did you aunts go home?

Morning all.

Saw Jim Gaffigan last night. Hilarious! He just started his tour so if he is coming to see you I highly recommend it. Worth it to stay out until midnight on a Sunday (v stayed with my parents).

3 day week for me this week. Today is business as usual. Tues and Wed my boss is here from the home office and we have meetings etc and then I'm off Thursday and Friday for family vacation to a lake nearby.

Hope everyone has a great week!

judyblume14, GL at your appt! I sound dumb but can't remember, did you have U/S yet?

This is the 3rd month in a row that AF has arrived on a Monday morning ready to kill me, f you body! My head is pounding, hoping my coffee helps.

Plenty of work to do but not motivated. 2 weeks before vaca, can't wait

[judyblume14]

jt2378, we had a US at 10 weeks (everything looked good), and I'll have my first-tri/NT scan this Thursday at 12 weeks.

[jt2378]

@kait20122014, glad your improving but sorry your still sore

[jt2378]

@giamia923, sorry about AF too, ugh! Awesome about G!! Maybe the book is working?? Was it the rabbit one?

My head might literally explode, it must be hormonal...I had a large coffee, granola bar, blueberries and 600mg ibuprofen.

anniebn from a managerial perspective how does that work? Layoff and then rehire? Mainly curious bc I had an employee that I was asked to let go and couldn't use the term layoff bc that would turn prevent additional hires in that dept.

N40Mom, is that gif a video of you doing the flash dance at the wedding?

[judyblume14]

Appointment went fine. Heard the heartbeat on Doppler. Lost a pound (probably from the stomach issues this weekend).

The ait was forever long, so I couldn't stop at the bagel shop for lunch. BUT... there was a pizza party at work that I forgot about! Yay.

[judyblume14]

@adulruna, he's so, so hot.

[jt2378]

Thanks for the hottie pic @adulruna!

yay about your appt judyblume14

Welcome back N40Mom, we missed you!

[jt2378]

GL @adulruna, your going to kill it!

UGh @giamia923, so sorry I know its been rough. BUT then you guys go to the Cape after so yay!

I'm guessing I can't play Pokemon on my flip right? LOL

Hello all! I am back at work and H is back to work from summer so we are back on our normal routine of dropping G off at the babysitter in the mornings. He was so sad when I left him this morning.

Pretty good weekend. We went down to Dallas Friday, and it was kind of weird with the stuff just happening there. Spent a little time with my parents and they are voting for Trump so that's nice. But is was a fun little trip and G did well. Then last evening we went out on the lake for a little bit which G enjoyed. His favorite part was "driving".

Not much else going on here. Got a free slurpee/ ice at 7-11! Exciting stuff.

[jt2378]

@adulruna, good for you! We got 2% so I know what you mean about measly

anniebn, surprisingly not dealing with wanting out of the seat but just eating horribly in general. Dinner is not fun

[jt2378]

spacedcadet, glad you had a nice trip, sorry G was sad this morning

[vavavictoria]

Congrats @adulruna. 3% is the standard annual raise at my company as well so at least you got a little extra. And it's good to hear positive things from a tough manager. I'm working on annual reviews for all my employees right now and it's not my favorite task.

[jt2378]

Damn it, poor J N40Mom, our first pic will be a swollen lip?!

[jt2378]

N40Mom, OMG I thought you were posting a pic of J to ask us if we thought the lip was bad, LOL

DO NOT post anything until I'm around to see, k, thanks

[spacedcadet]

G is terrible about staying in his seat for meals. And also eating his meals.

N40Mom - I hope J is ok, and it doesn't look too bad.

[vavavictoria]

@annienb I have 7 of my own that I directly manage and then I manage a supervisor who has 8 or 9 of her own and I have to review hers. Bleh. And then I have 6 month reviews for a few people coming up soon too. Most of my employees are great though so it's just a matter of making the time to write them and then give them.

[vavavictoria]

@giamia923 I hope you guys work out what is best for you. I know law school and the bar are stressful but that is no reason for him to be a jerk. You deserve to be treated well. And he needs to be a grownup who can control his emotions/stress. If he is willing to go to therapy once he is done testing, that will be great. And if he isn't, then to me that would be a sign of his level of investment. Kind of harsh but marriage is hard and you have to work to make it work.

[jt2378]

@giamia923, hugs, I know things have been extra stressful with the bar but you have said for awhile that your relationship has been struggling. I hope you can talk with your therapist and figure out what works best for you. A marriage is work on both sides so YH really needs to show that he is willing to try and work on it too.

@adulruna, pee on alllll the things and report back, eeeeekkk

[judyblume14]

@adulruna, our average raises are about 3%, too. I got 4% one year and my boss had to fight REALLY hard for that.
