Tuesday... is Tuesday

I can't come up with anything better.

I finally found my luggage claim ticket and the frontier guy put the wrong persons tag on my luggage. With the difficulty I've had getting a hold of anyone at Frontier I may never see my bag again and I may never get reimbursed for the things I have to replace like my video monitor.

Also last night was the first night my nightmare of not being able to hear Doug if he cried came true. I had my good ear covered and without the video monitor I couldn't hear him. Thank goodness my mom did.

so far no puking today and Doug and I were able to eat a little breakfast. progress.

Posted at the same time. I'll poof.

[finnaroo]

First of all, big congrats to JEMandtheHolograms and kfran84!!! Very excited for both of you.

What's going on on today?

Yesterday was hot. Florida seems to have forgotten about a season called "spring". Today is more of the same.

DH had his first soccer game last night. They won, like 10-0. It was bad. The captain of the other team thought he was going to head a corner throw into the goal and become the next David Beckham or something. Dude fell flat, and I do mean flat, on his face. I was trying really hard not to laugh at his pain. Insult to injury, he got a yellow card for his efforts.

B was really engrossed in the game. She kept saying, "Ball!!!" and trying to run onto the field.
This was the shirt that I made for her.


We've got the gym and errands today. My MIL is coming Thursday and I need to pick up the house.

kellykinns, how are y'all feeling?

[kellykinns]

great minds I guess. Haha

[wineallthetime]

kellykinns, that sucks

@finneroo, so cute!

Anyone have any good tips for when you want something sweet, but trying to eat healthy? I just ate my very satisfying and healthy breakfast, but now all I want is chocolate!

[finnaroo]

wineallthetime I give in to the craving, but don't go overboard. Otherwise, I just eat more trying to satisfy myself but fail to do so. Maybe a handful of chocolate chips?

Home with a sick boy who just fell, bit his tongue, and now I think is getting a shiner. There was so much blood from his tongue. I feel like the worst parent ever.

OMG the mouth bleeds so much. I remember a few months ago DS tripped over my foot and fell on his face.. one of his sharp little teeth tore the inside of his lip and I felt like it was SO much blood. And I felt like a total asshole because he tripped over me and I should have moved faster.  

[ljgs1010]

MEK, hugs. A few months ago E fell face first into an concrete pool umbrella base. I've never seen so much blood (from his mouth) ever, and it turned out to be nothing -- no tooth damage, his lip was fine, etc. He just bit himself in the process. It happens to all of us. I hope your day gets better!

Morning!

Gloomy here today, winter weather advisory for some ice, slushy precipitation until noon. But then it's supposed to hit 40 degrees today so the commute home should be okay. 40 degrees!!??!!!! SUMMA YA'LL! Haha.

I had a meltdown of vast proportions yesterday morning over my weight. I'm usually a very, very level headed person, so DH was like whoa. I haven't gained much, I just feel crappy. I love to run, but despise the treadmill, I'd much rather run outside. The weather has been so awful I haven't been able to in a few weeks, and I think I just feel in a rut. It's supposed to be decent this weekend, so I'm hoping to get back to it, and have a clear mind again. I also need to be more concious of my food choices - as an email just popped up on my screen from a co-worker who brought in bagels and cream cheese for our meeting today. Sigh. No bagel, no.

Sorry you had a meltdown. I know what you mean about wanting to run outside and the awful weather holding you back. I'm in the same boat. Besides carrying DS up and down the stairs, I get no exercise and my body needs to move! I also hate watching what I eat, but it's a necessary evil until we thaw out. UGH go away winter!!!

Working at a branch 30 minutes farther from home than my normal one and we're supposed to get freezing rain today.. Awesome.

@peachsmama When do you start your new gig?? You won't have to drive to other branches any more right?

We are supposed to get freezing rain tomorrow too and then it's going to stay below freezing for days, so I imagine the entire city will be shut down for the next three days, minimum. We are trying to finish a BIG job (DH's company, that is) and the freaking weather is killing us.

I hear that! I question why I live in the midwest, annually. You'd think I'd be used to it, living in the area my entire life. Between here and Michigan, all I know is cold and snow during these months - but I still hate it all the same!!

I'm pretty pumped to push my jogging stroller with my 26 lb son in it. That should kick my ass into shape real quick.

Edit: spelling.

[finnaroo]

mellochello tell me more...

I was going for a winky face. Not sure what happened.

aH, yes, I feel lucky because Tulsa can be pretty mild Nov-Jan, but we get our asses kicked Feb and March annually because the precip starts and it's still farking cold. Snow and ice do not go over well here. We got one of our biggest snow storms ever last April Fools Day. So it can either be 20* or 80* by April. It's crazy.

[kkry123]

kfran84, sounds like your weather is bi-polar.

[finnaroo]

mellochello the stupid is strong with that one

[kkry123]

mellochello, Smh. Glad his procreations are out there running around, unvaccinated.

[ljgs1010]

@mothereffer, we're fine! I'm still a bit gimpy from the accident, but otherwise fine. E has been in a good mood for the past few days (which is a change of pace from his normal crankiness lately), so that's helped.

[ljgs1010]

@sing2phins, that's why I've just started letting H handle those kinds of issues. I have a tendency to either cry, or go from 0 to annoyed in 2 seconds. I'm sorry you're struggling with your reaction to ineptitude....but it's just so hard to deal with it, especially when it comes to your kid!

[kkry123]

@sing2phins, I'm sorry the communication at your DC is falling by the wayside. I hope that turns around. All we want is a place our kids can call home, away from home.

[JoeLies]

MEK - I've seen C bleed from falls twice now, and both times, DH and my parents were right there with me. Your DH is right, they are boys (really toddlers in general) and we're going to see far worse in the coming years. It's still so scary those first few times!

kfran84, I don't think I said congrats yet, so congrats!

I am livid for you, kellykinns. I've lost luggage too many times and had it handled so poorly time and time again. I don't get it, it's your job to get me and my things from point A to point B. When something goes wrong, FIX IT. Grrr...

[JoeLies]

OH and regarding that job in Tempe.

So they have realized that there's no way 1 person could do all of marketing/sales/PR stuff AND build/train/manage a team internally at the same time. Which was pretty obvious to me once I started the interviews. Anyhow so they haven't found that face person yet; they haven't liked anyone who applied and they actively went after a few big names in our industry and were turned down all around. So no idea what they are going to do there. Not my problem.

On the internal side, they are toying with contracting an entire team from a consulting firm that specializes in what I do. They're also considering creating that team internally from the ground up, or some hybrid of the two. They don't even know, though if they need someone to manage a team, I'd be a great candidate as long as I move to Tempe. For a non-career changing job. Newp.

She also let me know that one of the guys who interviewed me liked me so much that he wants me to join his team. The role is somewhat interesting but it involves a lot of travel. It's also another road to nowhere for me and I'm concerned how it would impact my resume.

So at this point I truly feel like I just need to position myself as best as I can for a post-LO2.0 job search. The team manager job would be great and I'd stay focused on something I truly enjoy, but it's just not an amazing enough opportunity to move across country - and away from both our families - for. And I'm not sure I want to put all our eggs in the basket of an allegedly "global" company that's so hellbent on having most US-based roles in a specific office. Especially an office that is so inconvenient to the majority of our client base.

TL;DR: The whole thing is annoying.

[mamasoup030]

@sing2phins I used to feel that way too, but I was hiding my impatience with DC. Recently I did lose my cool, and they have been much nicer ever since. DC teacher takes me much more seriously these days, and we get along better. Sometimes it's good for Them to know they can't get away with the same shit when dealing with you!

@kellykins that stinks about the luggage, since they know what went wrong, is there a chance of recovery now? I agree, it might be time to social media pester them to get some better help

I just had a pop tart, it's been 15 years at least since my last one, wow, sooo good.

(Edit - somehow a several days old update on my moms car accident got mixed in there,oops)

[ljgs1010]

kellykinns, if they know whose luggage tag was put on your bag, can't they reach out to that person? I don't understand the incompetence. That's outrageous. You'd think that person would be wanting their own luggage back, too, because I assume their luggage was also wrongly tagged.

Also, how do you put the wrong tag on luggage? Doesn't that happen right at the desk when you check in and it prints out specifically for your account? Does. Not. Compute.

[klongoria11]

Took Cadence to the dentist this morning. Her frenulum is too long or something like that and when she is older it may need to be snipped so that it doesn't cause a large gap in her front teeth. They said that we can wait until her permanent teeth start coming in to see if it will be an issue or not and that it is possible between now and then it may tear on its own(ouch!) if she falls or whathaveyou. This is quite possible because, while I don't have a boy, she is very rough and tumble and I also see stitches in our future @mothereffer
They also said her front teeth are starting to round out because of the paci, but so long as we get rid of it by the age of 2 they should straighten back out on their own.
They brushed her teeth, counted them (one more canine to go!) and then put a flouride seal on them. She was pretty pissed by the end of it, but once they gave her a balloon she forgave them.

She has a cold right now, the viral rash is pretty much gone, but her nose is running, she has a lovely cough and her eye is constantly tearing up and she slept like crap, which means I slept like crap. I knew when she slept through the night Sunday that it was just a fluke.

kellykinns, glad the voms have stopped. Hopefully you can enjoy the rest of your vacation illness free!!

[cagoldi]

housewifehair Congratulations! How exciting! This is weird, my spidey sense was tingling. I woke up this morning and randomly thought of you and B, and wondered if you guys were planning to have another.

kellykinns I would lose it. It's annoying enough, but to lose equipment you need for D would be so aggravating.

A was up for an hour or so MOTN. He didn't want us to help him though, he just rolled around petting Mama and taking an occasional sip of water until he fell back asleep.

Also, he did finger painting last night. With Sinny's vomit. I was bent down by his highchair cleaning what he'd dropped at dinner, and out of the corner of my eye, I see him dragging his finger around quickly on the wood floors. I went over, and he was standing in a pool of cat puke.

[htk1113]

@kkry haha, I think it was in the 30's here yesterday and I thought the same thing. Summer! You know it's cold where you live if the temp hits 40's and you think it's warm enough for just a sweater.

[housewifehair]

Thank you sings and goldi! I'm a really private person IRL but as soon as I got those positives yesterday, N13 jumped into my mind. I know I lurk a ton and love tit the shit out of this place, it just feels like home. I really love and appreciate the support that everyone gives to everyone, even when they mostly lurk. I guess what I'm trying to say is you ladies are kind of the best and thank you!

[htk1113]

@mothereffer E has bleed from the mouth several times since he became mobile. I agree it is the worst feeling ever especially when I'm right there and wasn't fast enough to catch him. Also, the blood, so much, and that he won't let me keep a washcloth on his cut. Glad your hubby have you some reassurance.
