E is 18 months old today where has my baby gone?? Still at the beach we leave sometime tomorrow. It feels nice today the last few mornings have been hot in the morning but today it feels cool. I hope everyone has a good day who is working.

[malvo]

Morning! It's currently 53 degrees. CHILLY! I'm breaking out the light jackets.

M had a rough night. She has a baby cold. She's fairly pleasant, but the snot has runneth over. No fever, so she's going to school. FX she makes it through the day. Poor girl's face looks like it hurts from all the pressure

[ladymike]

I'm at work.

N was up around midnight. Oh my gosh, so awful. She was so warm and sickie and I felt so bad for her. More drugs and she was back to sleep. But, she just looked AWFUL. So red and lethargic, could barely sit up to give meds :-(. MH is home with her today. I hope the worst is over and she's better... he said her fever is low and just a little cranky.

And AF is here so I feel fat and tired. Is it Friiiiiday yet?

[TheTuna15]

Morning guys!! I'm so tired. Why did I stay up until 1am?? WHY!?!

I'm glad that some of you are also dealing with extreme stuffed animal attachment. This is ridiculous.

So, it seems like I'll be getting the legging bundle order today. It's only ten leggings, but they're supposed to be "mystery unicorns." Not sure if I believe that. Hahahaha. We'll see. Maybe I'll go live to unbox. But i don't know if half of Facebook wants to see me nursing J, since that's what she likes to do for a solid two hours in the evening.

H's big interview is today. We are running out of options so he has to get this job today.

Other than that, O is in a mommy phase right now and I'm loving it.

[ladymike]

[sjep922]

Morning. I'm so sleepy. It's like no matter how much sleep I get I'm always tired. Wtf?

Cardinals had a heartbreaking lose last night. Ugh.

Oh and our washing machine broke last night. In the middle of a cycle. Bleh. Calling the HW company today. My H thinks it's covered with the plan we have. Fx it is. Luckily, my mum offered to do some laundry for us! A has her in home DC at my mums next door neighbors house. So I'll be drooling off laundry this morning and picking it up tomorrow. Pretty awesome!

[bekbek]

ajacot924, GL to your H today!
Add my baby to the snotty sick baby list. She was warm yesterday but no real fever. She just felt blah. She acted fine this morning until we got to DC. She did not want to stay. I'm exhausted and need more coffee. We put sod out under the swing set on Saturday and I'm still feeling it!

[jnow]

ajacot924, Good luck!

[jnow]

I kept creepin' this weekend to make sure flat was OK. Glad she checked in!

[maddisonrose]

ladymike, malvo, Sorry for the sick babes! I hope they feel better soon

ajacot924, GL to your husband! FX for you guys

[maddisonrose]

Back from our weekend getaway which was AH-MAZING!!! We slept, had a nap, went hiking and kayaking, and spent the evenings boozing in the hot springs. I definitely need to detox from the beers but everything was so worth it. My child also cried when we walked back in through our door and went to go grab him. He didn't want to leave his grampy and just yelled at me...so that was heart warming. Half an hour later we were back to "mama, maaaamaaa, MAMA MAMA MAMA"

Sorta creeped the threads over the weekend and also glat Flat's okay! I had been wondering how she was doing. Hope everyone else is doing well and I didn't miss anything life changing

[malvo]

Internal struggle. Do I eat them all or save a pack for SO? Decisions, decisions.

[jnow]

malvo, I think you know the answer.

I have a project I've been working on for MONTHS. So many changes and reviews and now we finally got approval from the Press office. This was the last approval we were waiting for so, in my mind, this shit is ready to go. I sent it to my boss on Friday and said, here's the final if you'd like to see it, I'll publish it on Monday.

He sends me a fucking document of ALL THESE CHANGES and then ALSO sent it to EVERYONE in our Division, asking them to review and provide feedback. I am RAGING internally. RAGGGGGGGGGGGING.

HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES DO WE HAVE TO DO THIS. HOW. MANY. We have done this SO MANY TIMES ALREADY. WHY. I've been working on this since I started here a YEAR AND A HALF AGO. Stop. STAAAHHPP.

[ladymike]

So, my task for this afternoon is to 1. job search and 2. book as many LuLaRoe pop-ups as I can. F U, JOB. WHO WANTS TO HAVE A PANTS PARTY!?

[jnow]

ladymike,

[tacocatmom]

We just had H's 18 month well check. She has to switch to 2% milk because she is 100%ile 😂 hahaha love my big girl! Otherwise she is perfect and the Dr said she is advanced verbally.

[sjep922]

A threw up on our way home from DC. Her DC lady said A ate and played normally. She's acting pretty normal now that we're home and out of the bath though.

Fx it was just a fluke!

[Deleted]

sjep922 oh no hope it was just a fluke and not something starting.

[Deleted]

My parents have e. We went shopping and played mini golf. Now dinner and a hurricane for me.

[malvo]

sjep922 Oh no! Poor A. I hope it's a fluke, as I know her puking has a habit of sticking around for a while.

@megaugust10 Have one for me!

[ladymike]

Ughhh. Bebe temp went back up to 104 a bit ago. I dosed her and we went for a walk outside. It's so nice and breezy. She at least ate a bit and just went down to bed. You know your toddler is sick when she grabs her bear and asks to go to bed. :-\. I made a doctor's appt for tomorrow morning just to be sure nothing's wrong.

MH is at the grocery store, I barely ate all day and I wanted to tell him to get fried chicken but he left his phone here. Boooo. I hope he's smart enough to think to get some ... haha.

[ajacot924]

So H's interview went good and bad. He doesn't have experience with one thing they want but has a lot overall. In fact the guy said he has more experience than he has ever seen. He also said he really wants him on the team.

He is going to see if he can move some of his current employees around to make room for H.

So it wasn't a yes or no. He said he needs a couple of days to see if he can make it work.

We are still waiting for 3 other jobs.

I'm not sure how to feel. I think there was a lot of good that came from it but it's still up in the air.

[rvamama]

ajacot924 all the good, positive vibes and fingers crossed for your h that the right door will open soon!! Waiting is so hard. In the meantime, is the one thing he doesn't know something he can learn outside of work? Meaning, can he look into how to get training on that thing and send the guy and email "thanks for meeting me, I am very interested and have signed up to take x training so that I can gain the experience you need"? Something like that?

Speaking of work, had a meeting with my "new boss", C, and my boss boss. Not sure how to refer to them right now! Lol. Anyway, this morning we went through a list of jobs and the statuses they're in. I walked out with a list of things to do and got a ton done plus felt better with what was on my plate. This afternoon c and bb told me that they were a little worried, they felt I was starting to sink. We had a good chat, I told them that I was nervous to fail and that after this morning I realized I knew more than I thought I knew. They reiterated that I am being given a chance to prove I can do this and that I need to gain confidence.

So, queue a lot of feels.

What gives you confidence in your work? What is your one "trick up your sleeve" or go-to thing to do when you have a lot to juggle?
