You can come do my budget templates and I'll do your laundry lilyelayne. Fair trade?
Today we are rolling out the budget and presenting it to the managers. Is mostly the same as last year but there are a few new folks. But we just had training on presenting so now I'm nervous that my presentation will fall flat.
Anyway I've got a gardening date with my sister tonight so hopefully the meeting doesn't run late.
My sister and her crew left this morning after a whirlwind visit. I am sad they were here for such a short period of time, I miss them! Thankfully my H found suuuuuper cheap airfare to visit them. A one way trip was $83! And just like that we go from no trips on the books to 2 plane trips for S and I in the next 6 weeks. I knew the lack of trips wouldn't last too long.
aggiebug glad you'll be able to see them again soon!
kartish I seriously wish I enjoyed gardening. I just can't. I really really want to but I can't. I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm not good at it lol.
lilyelayne ahhh laundry is on my list for today too. My least favorite chore besides grocery shopping.
So we just got home from lunch at McDonald's. My sister and her two girls were with us. My sister heard her youngest (just turned two) crying in the playplace and went running up to get her. When she came down she had a huge chunk of my niece's hair in her hand and said a little boy had her pinned down and was ripping her hair out. It was so horrible. There were literally clumps of hair everywhere. My niece is super petite and this boy was like 3 or 4. I feel so bad, she was hysterical. And to make it even worse, the kids dad was acting like it was not a huge deal.

kartish sounds like a fair trade to me. Hope your presentation goes/went well! And I'm with tortor4 I wish I loved gardening but I really don't. aggiebug I'd totally be down for that suggestion if I hadn't already baked a batch of cookies and eaten the whole thing once this week. Also yay for family time & travel plans!
tortor4- that. is. terrifying. I don't even know how I would react to a parent who played that behavior off as no big deal.
lilyelayne my sister wasn't going to say anything because she was so upset but I told her she had to. I mean, she showed the dad the clumps of hair she was holding and it didn't even seem to phase him. It was disgusting.

Kids will be kids and some amount of rough housing may happen, and it's hard to say what goes on between kids without seeing it first hand, but pinning a kid down and pulling out her hair? No amount of "kids will be kids" comes close to touching that. IMO. Especially for a 3 or 4 year old.

Yes! My sister saw it happening and described it as he was attacking her. And I completely agree, this went way beyond rough housing, which I KNOW will happen. Ugh. I can't stop thinking about it.
tortor4 that's sad =( kartish hope your presentation went well. Go out for drinks or diner tonight! That's why you've been quiet lately on here aggiebug. Glad you had a good visit.
I went to the zoo even though it's still miserably hot. I've really missed our trips and we took it easy and only saw a few things. Then it started raining, DD2 got fussy on the tram, and to top it off, a capped sippy dumped in my purse...all at the same time. So we headed home after that (and the storm wasn't letting up). I took my sister too because summer is quickly ending and we won't have many more weeks to go together. My girls adore their auntie too
The presentation went well. The whole meeting got a little side tracked with technical issues but overall went well. And afterwards I found out that I was chosen as one of eight people for a new team that they are creating so that is interesting news. Not sure what all it entails yet.
tortor4 that is the scariest thing! My first thought was that you should report them, but how to you report something like that? So scary.
OH and the gardening date was really nice. DH grilled us steaks while we weeded and talked and V had a blast playing around and helping us out.
tortor4 and lilyelayne it's not always fun but I always feel better after playing in the dirt. Plus the veggies this year are going great, nothing beats cooking up some squash you picked two minutes ago!
H and I had both a productive and lazy day together. Got our new drivers licences and registered to vote and then had lunch and saw Ghostbusters. Loved the movie.
I didn't screw on the lid to my water bottle right and the whole thing leaked in my purse. Our passports took a but of a bath but are ok after drying under the hand dryer. And my phone survived.
