How's everyone doing today???

[amch8]

I have dinner tonight with a bunch of the school's Deans (I assume to ensure that I'm a culture fit), and then I'm on campus doing tours and meetings all day tomorrow. There are a few items that are up in the air (salary and living requirements, to name two), so I'm just hoping that everything falls into place!

[ncjulia12]

Good luck, amch8! I'm sure you'll charm them!

Good luck today amch8!!! I have everything crossed for you.

[rach]

Sounds like a lot of fun, amch8. Good luck!

I had a dream that H was leaving me for a much younger woman and couldn't understand why I was being "so mean" doing things like making him refi the house into his name. Poor IRL H is dealing with me being irrationally pissed off at him now. Better drink some more coffee!

amch8 do you get to live on campus? Or just have to be within a certain radius? I loved when I lived/worked on a campus

I'm hoping it's a certain radius and that I fall within the radius... Either way I'd have dorm duty once a week!

Tuesday! After a dose of nyquil I had an amazing sleep. This cough is slowly killing me.

I have to pack all my interview stuff tonight since we're leaving as soon as I'm done work tomorrow. I'm getting so nervous! Hopefully I can make time today to brush up on my knowledge. I also found another to apply for, I might throw together an application later on.

My big kid is so sweet. He brought me cereal and strawberries in bed. I love him.

Delaney has decided napping is for the birds, which is lovely timing now that this baby can come any day. Play date with lupincat today so hopefully we can relax outside and just let them run all their energy out in the yard. Probably wishful thinking.

[ashiscute]

Good luck amch8!!

rach I hate dreams like that! It always takes me awhile to stop being annoyed at H even though he didn't do anything. It's hard to be rational sometimes.

Kids are on spring break and H is at work and it's raining so we'll probably have a lazy morning at home in our pjs. At some point I need to get to the store but nope octopus to doing that in the rain with all 3 kids.

Unexpected day off with my under the weather toddler. I'm cool with it. He's been off the last few days. Dude needs a day at home to rest.

[lovemyirishtwins]

Good luck amch8!

My bigs are back in school today. This will be interesting considering that ds and dd1 were up past 10 last night. I cannot blame them, they were so excited to see one another.

[catladymeow]

Good luck amch8 and wineandcake! Link to skirt please, sharebear05! @justinslovo I hope that the talk goes well. @katechristine18 I hope he feels better soon!

It's a beautiful spring day and I'm in a fairly good mood. I'd rather be outside though. I have nothing else to report.

My baby is sleeping amaaaazing but poops himself awake just before 6:00 every day. It always hits at a bad place in my sleep cycle so I feel worse than I do for motn wake ups.

The back of my car is FULL of glass to recycle. We have to take it to the dump here, curbside doesn't take glass. I wish we liked beer in cans - 90% of it is beer bottles and I'll look like an alcoholic dumping them today.

[jacks15]

Good luck amch8! The university near me has a faculty member that lives in each dorm. Apparently it is pretty coveted and people scramble to get in when there's an opening.

[jacks15]

kristhegirl Our glass recycling is like that too. I always feel so shameful as I dump bags upon bags of beer and wine bottles into the container.

So I dropped an earring down the sink last night and decided to channel @traceyos and retrieve it myself. Thanks to Google, I was successful and no leaks upon reassembling the drain pipe!

We have had death talks with P @justinslovo. Like lawandorder said, we were very frank and told her about it honestly using correct terms. I don't know how much she really understands (hell, I don't even understand it sometimes), but I hopefully explained it to her in a way that she at least gets it a little bit.

[lonegalathome]

cornpop311, how is the paci cold turkey going?

@justinslovo, oh man death is one of my kids' favorite subjects. They say some crazy things. We also are just direct and honest. But, I've agreed with A that if you are holding something when you die it can go to heaven with you (he is very concerned about his horse lovey not coming with him).

[hereiam]

Today is looking better than yesterday. A friend of mine is loaning me a car. It's a real life saver this week.
Today we have the dentist for both kids and then I'm using my gift card to get a mani pedi.

[Deleted]

cornpop311 does she watch Sesame Street at all? There's an episode about saying goodbye to the pacifier. It helped my niece a lot.

[beepers]

amch8 wineandcake good luck!!!

sharebear05 link to the amazing Banana skirt please and thank you

@katechristine18 hope y'all have a good snuggle day and he's better tomorrow!

Edit: or I should have just copy/pasted catladymeow

It's rainy and crappy today. Laundry and house cleaning and hoping the toddler doesn't lose his shit over not being able to play outside.

[beepers]

R did surprisingly well on his mattress on the floor. He's been in our bed all night since he broke his arm (for those not on FB he got mad at my sleep training attempts and fell from his crib). I had so much anxiety about it so I'm very relieved.

Also I have an obvious farmer tan from working outside all weekend which I'm sporting in my sleeveless shirt today at work. Ugh 😑

[rachydc]

Really regretting that I left my box of Mike N' Ikes at home rn

catladymeow Did you ever end up buying that Ruffle Butts suit??

No - I'm going to a consignment sale tomorrow and I told myself that I should wait until I see what's at the sale. If I don't see a suit there then I can order it.  

[wineandcake]

kristhegirl can you not return your empties? Here you can return your beer/wine/other alcohol bottles to the beer store and get money back. We don't have recycling here so we collect the empties until we run out of space then return. It's always a nice little pay out. Back in our childless days we had a lot more to return, we could get up to 100$ every 3 months or so (no, we're not alcoholics, we had the best house so people always came over and left empties so we collected a ton).
