Mid week mutterings

Hello carpet is being installed as we speak. Holy heck it's loud. I think we will be in the backyard soon.

All good at my postpartum appt. but MIL called about an hour after I dropped G off- he had a 102 fever. He told me when I picked him up that’s why he was sad this morning (he had been unusually cranky but I figured he was just hungry.)

FX the baby stays healthy.

[aggiebug]

lilyelayne I am glad your Dr appointment went well but I am sorry about G. Hoping baby boy stays healthy and G feels better quickly.

lilyelayne hope G is better soon. Fevers suck!
aggiebug hope you love the carpet!

I had another busy day. We went to an outlet mall. Mostly for the disney store but we actually stayed for a long time and went to a lot of stores! I was so happy that I brought out the stroller (which literally was collecting dust in the garage haha). I thought she'd surrender by the end of the shopping trip but she surprised me by wanting to be in there from the start. Helps me keep two kids wrangled so, thumbs up! I found some fun Little Mermaid merch btw! And I let the girls pick out something for themselves too 😜😉

A had a random fever of 102 Tuesday night, but was fine and cheery yesterday and this morning.

We had my sister over for game night and played Disney trival pursuit. It was fun but some of the questions are crazy. Either super easy (like who said this, and the multiple choice is Lady or Meeko) or incredibly obscure (like asking about the longest running show in Disneyland). It lead to lots of laughing, especially when my sister's SO kept getting all the obscure ones.

Crazy busy at work so I haven't been around. H left for a 13 day trip to Malaysia for work Monday. Tonight is the first night I haven't had to work at home after getting DS down. It's tough without H. My house is a disaster and DS has been moody and I've been moody. I'm either a pushover or a hardass so it's hard to get him to take no as an answer the first time.

His new daycare class is ok. I don't like the place anymore, but H won't move because DS has his friends there. I don't know if they're staying beyond this year. I want to consider a different place next year, especially if they switch. Probably won't be the same place, but our current place is really high pressure academically. They're preschoolers and they want them doing 2nd grade work in kindergarten. The owner/director is also a nutcase. She had multiple meetings with another family fighting on them wanting to hire a teacher who quit to part time nanny for them in the evening. It's not like they hired her away.

I'm still job hunting and getting closer. I had a positive set of interviews for a scrum master position. Didn't get it. The other candidate had a stronger Agile background, but I'm learning more. Plus I'm creating a conference talk and starting to draft a book outline around leadership and continuous improvement.

My dad's house for robbed. A friend was helping clean it out but had to go out of town. They took everything of value down to the pennies the friend was finding. My sister refuses to file a police report. She's mad that I didn't come down and get things like the grandfather clock she said I couldn't have rhat she now says she didn't want. It's been 8 months since my dad died and she's only now making plans to get a dumpster and actually clean it out. Toys for Tots just needs the VINs for the old cars and they'll do the DMV title work and figure out getting them out of the yard, but that's too much for her. My family thinks I'm cold, but I would have had it done the first month and the house would be sold. I know she's under a lot of stress with her fiance sick and now 3 kids, but she refuses to let me just do it.

seamonster that's a long trip, hang in there. Keeping fx for a new job op to come along. That sucks about your dad's house. A police report should definitely be filed, instead of getting mad at you!

I need to stay home and clean today! My sis and her family is coming in tomorrow for the weekend. Her husband is not my favorite person to put it nicely so I'm really going to have to bite my tongue a lot this weekend. Anyway, since we've been so busy this week the house needs alot of work!

Tonight we are going to the first (for us) summer nights at the zoo! I'm excited!

Dd1 was away this week at a bike camp and stayed with my IL’s. So we’ve been missing her all week. But she got her training wheels off the first day and is doing amazing on a two wheeler!

Dh is going on a road trip this weekend so it’s just mom and the girls.

Just got home from helping a friend move. Glad I was able help her out but I feel bad cause she still has a lot to do. She has a ton of old, heavy wood furniture that was her grandma's, almost impossible to move some of the l0arger pieces.


mishka29 bike camp sounds awesome, did she mind being away so long?

seamonster that's a long trip, hope the rest of it goes by quickly. Sorry to hear about your dad's place being robbed, you definitely need a police report. It's too bad your sister is being so stubborn admit this, it's not good to let this kind of stuff drag on. Is your sister the executor?

[lilyelayne]

That’s a lot going on seamonster glad you checked in. I hope the job hunt finally bears fruit soon. I’m sorry about your dad’s place and the family drama on top of that.

[dreemkin]

kartish there comes a point that you need to hire movers. I'm too old for the Sh*t now haha.

She did okay. She got a little sad a few times. My mil does a great job of keeping her entertained but a week was a long time.

My sister is the executor. She originally wanted to walk away from everything despite the house being paid for, so I don't know why it's so hard for her to let me handle clearing out the house. She and her fiancee are making payments on his late mother's house because they haven't sold it. And she moved pretty quickly on cleaning that place out. In some ways I think my troubled relationship with my dad let me move on quicker.
