Happy Weekend!
I've progressively gotten a little more sleep each night and this morning I'm feeling almost human. We have swim lessons this morning and then I'll think we'll do an egg hunt over at the firehouse. Not too much else planned, which is fine by me.
Saturday!!! My last relaxing day of the week. H flies south for an interview Tuesday, I fly down for my interview Thursday and he boys are staying with my sister while I'm gone. I don't know who's more excited, my sister and BIL or the boys. They always have so much fun there but this is the first time they're keeping both for a full day and doing bedtime, I'm sure they'll be needing a drink after dealing with Hunter that long.
I'm trying to prepare for my interview and I'm so nervous. I'm so socially awkward and don't do well in new situations. I'm also not telling my boss at the hospital that I'm interviewing, she's a bit of a bitch and I don't want her to know. I told my boss at the clinic since she seems to like me, hopefully she'll be a reference. I need this job so badly, my sanity can't take the hospital anymore. I have so much studying and learning to do this week.
I thought I'd have some solo time this morning to do bills and wash my hair. Oh no! Kiddi was fully awake at 6:30am. How do you teach a toddler what weekends are? I hope I can do her hair while she naps or she'll be looking like an orphan at the Easter Egg Hunt
YES! Everyone come to Chicago. They already do this at my grocery store and it's weird. I was checking out yesterday and the guy behind me had a pint of beer in the cup holder of his cart.

I am watching my nieces and nephew until noon. Then I am taking viv to my parents house so dd1 and I can have a fun day. We are going to a movie and not sure what else. I will let her choose. I am excited for some time just the two of us.
@wafflesfriendswork will the place I interview think badly of me for not using my current boss as a reference? This job is similar to what I do at one position I hold at the hospital so she would be the one who knows my abilities. Could I just use my back up coordinator as a reference instead? I hate giving references, that causes me more anxiety than the actual interviews. I have the executive director and director of nursing from my last job, my boss at the clinic hopefully, and then I could do coworkers. Is that enough? I feel like the hospital boss won't give a good reference because if I leave they are completely screwed for staffing so they don't want anyone to leave.

You give references after they really really want to hire you. No one should be contacting your current employer until they have hired you. Most people job hunt while employed and need to stay employed there until a better job is offered!
Do not tell current employer anything. I wouldn't have even told clinic boss because it is no one's business. You owe zero people a head's up.
I don't know how it works in Canada, but in America a "reference" now can basically only officially confirm employment dates and title/duties. Bad-mouthing a former employee could lead to a lawsuit.
Little man knew it was Saturday, so he was up and ready to party at 5:45.
My spring break is over. Aside from our trip to Orlando, it was pretty frustrating. I had so many things to do, and my child care kept falling through, so I got none of it done and I'm feeling stressed about it. I don't want to go back to work, but I have to, obvs. I know the rest of the school year will fly by...it always does. But I'm just feeling so OVER IT. I have all these ideas on how I want to change my class and my teaching next year, but it would require working on it allll summer, and I just don't think that will happen. I'm stuck in such a work rut. Bleh.
I have brunch later today with my besties and it is very needed today. Mimosa me.
W is at my parents for the weekend. I woke up at 745 and have done absolutely nothing productive. The house is a mess, and I just sat on the couch. I have to leave for work in 30 min, so I'm not starting now.

Oh actually I will be coming to Chicago again in June 18 for my brother's graduation!!
My H and I had a good talk last night and this morning. We just got back from the park with the boys and Henry is eating lunch and just had a meltdown because I ate a carrot. He has a full plate of his own carrots, so. It's nap time.
We're meeting friends in the city for a bday dinner. Reservations were at 7:30, but got pushed back to 8:45pm. WHO EATS DINNER THAT LATE?! VAMPIRES?! Ugh. I found out that my friend is also KU and due a week after me (!) so we'll be miserable together tonight. At least that's something

Today is the perfect day to walk to Friends for cheesecake. Unfortunately H has my wallet in the car at work with him so it can't happen. The second he gets home tonight I'm running there and getting all the baked goods.

I think it was @traceyos but maybe it was someone else who mentioned that they have written to a mom about having their child forward facing too early... was just wondering what you said? Or what anyone else would say! I don't want to offend her, but I also know her kid is less than 25lbs. The seat also looks weirdly reclined. This kid is just the greatest so it would kill me if anything happened to him.

CA law changed in January so under 2 is required to be rear facing. Would that info help in this case?
She's in Florida, which I think is a little more lax.
Oh dear God. This is the most hood kids birthday party evar!
Go on...
The paternal grandmother-cussin, takes video of all her food, doesn't speak to guests. The Dad and his buddies dipped out and didn't come back (we left 30 min early). Some guy comes over to my Dad and Hubs to tell them they could get shots of Hennessey at the apartment (it was 3pm and a 1st bday party) The kids- hog wild! No regard for the toddlers there, took over the ball pit, throwing stuff. The women- lots of bad weaves and chest tatoos. I couldn't even stay for cake. It was just too loud and it was sad to see the birthday baby crying while Mom is trying to hold it all together while her husband was MIA.
