Whine and wine?

[shemarie82]

I am already dreaming of the bottle of wine I will be drinking tonight.  Give us your wine & whine of the day!

[shemarie82]

Wine: I went and bought some "kid" stuff that I had been putting off, but now have an excuse to buy (cute tub mat/fishy faucet cover). The twins that we are doing respite care for are not walking yet, so we will hopefully be able to keep them contained easily. I am glad we have over a week to prepare/child proof.

Whine: I am fricken TIRED! Tomorrow B leaves for our 30th birthday party (hold up your right hand, we are headed to the tip of your pinkie) and I will be headed up on Friday after work. I am supposed to meet some childhood friends tomorrow night for ice cream, but I may flake and sleep instead.

Whine: cookies and cupcakes are taking over my life this week. I just keep telling myself it will eventually be Sunday. I couldn't turn down an order for a dance school- it could generate some good business.

Wine: we are having patty melts for dinner tonight. I haven't had one in years.

[BurritosAtEveryMeal]

Wine: I have a huge jug of 'sweet red' at home waiting for later.
Whine: DS has a fever from vaccines so I took a day off to snuggle. Work is getting ridiculous and I also needed a mental health day. So the timing worked out, but I wish DS weren't under the weather. Poor fella.

[requiressnacks]

Wine: Park near my house plays movies on Friday nights during the summer. This Friday is Beetlejuice. I LOVE that movie! I'm still convincing DH that this is something we need to do.

Whine: HR messed up one of my new employees login ids/passwords. They've been sitting here all morning with no way to get into their computer. YOU HAD ONE JOB, HR. ONE JOB! (ok, maybe more than one job. But only one job I care about) Grrrr

[butlerfan]

Wine: It is Wednesday and we leave for vacation after work on Friday.

Whine: I have a lot to do at work and home between now and when I leave. Help!

[badwolf]

Wine: I have no meetings on my work calendar today, the social activities committee decided to bring in an ice cream truck for the employees and I have nothing scheduled for this evening...YAY for today!

Whine: I'm exhausted. I haven't been sleeping well this week and have had two late nights that are starting to really catch up with me. I can't wait to go to bed early tonight!

If they only have one job, I want to come work there! Wait, don't you have to wear shoes there?!?!

That is when I get my best work done, last minute. With the exception of packing, I do that a month in advance.

haha - yes - we are definitely a "shoes required" workplace. The funny thing is that after I wrote this, the HR lady called and gave me a login id/password for my employee. So my whine is no longer a whine. I officially recant.

[TheEleventhHour]

starbuck27 Which grey did you use? We think we want to paint our new bedroom a light grey but I have been nervous it will still look too dark!

Wine: Moving in 9 days! Our house is under contract, the home inspection is next week, and we should be signing the purchase and sale a week from Friday. It seems like everything is going smoothly (more smoothly than previous potential buyers) so we are excited!

Whine: As mentioned in randoms, DH passed his sick on to me. I woke up at 530 with a killer sore throat but luckily was able to fall back asleep after some water and a cough drop. Though DH is home from work again which means he is going to bitch when I want to watch PLL or HGTV. I just want to be sick and enjoy my TV in PEACE.

Oh we sometimes feel the same way. I don't know why or how but it gets done somehow.  It doesn't help that IL's keep adding things to the list for us to bring and then having to find it.

Wine: Our church Vacation Bible School is in full swing and my kids have been sleeping in every day because they are so worn out.
Whine: H and I have been in the nursery for VBS and I'm tired. There are only two babies but they are still so young they are very hands on. H has retracted his previous desire to have twins after helping all week.

That makes me nervous for my upcoming weekend with twins. I have always said I wanted twins, but we will see if I am still saying that when they leave!

I used to work in an infant room where the ratio was 1 teacher to 4 babies. Two isn't bad once you get used to the schedules. H has just never been around small babies (DS was 8 months old when we started dating)

Whine: see ransoms thread andplusalso teaching my SM to do anything technical is so difficult... Ok I'll google for you...

Wine: my dad's surgery went well! Added bonus now I won't have a house guest tonight

[mosdub]

Wine: Finally home after being on the road to visit friends/family!

Whine: All I want to do is chill for a week after all of that socialization and driving but I'm leaving Friday for another fun (but not relaxing) trip.

I am thinking that since we only have them Sat morning until Sunday afternoon that we should be good. We only have to do one bedtime, which is what I am most nervous about. And, it is 2 on 2... They sleep better in separate rooms, so my guess is that we will each take a room/kid, since there are beds as well as the playpen/crib.

A) You have twins placed with you!? I missed a lot recently! How exciting! How old?

B) Not to be creepy, but I think I know the area you're going for your birthdays pretty well! It's beautiful- I hope you get the best weather!

No, it isn't a placement at this time, we just have them for the weekend, but it could end up potentially being one.  They are a sibling set of 4 that are staying with a family that also has 3 kids.  The parents are taking the older kids on a trip, and cannot handle 11 month old twins as well.

Not creepy at all.  We LOVE it there!

Wine: Attended a great work event this morning - it was like speed-dating, sort of like networking, except the point was to tell our stories about why we do public interest work with other people working on local issues. I thought I'd hate it, but I left feeling really inspired.

Whine: I'm feeling really exhausted about WTO this cycle, maybe because it is my first back on the bench and I'm putting too much pressure on us. MH requested a day off from sex today, which I totally don't blame him for. I wish it could all feel a bit more laid back. Sigh.

[wannabmama]

Whine: my whole job revolves around the number of hours I work so I've been busting arse coming in early and staying late to make up hours from when we were slow earlier in the year...and in about to run out of work again, it's so frustrating to be here willing to work and then have nothing to go and get hounded for not having enough hours. I switched to this firm (making 1/2 my salary) for less stress and now I'm constantly stressed anyway...and stressed about money to boot!

Wine: Wednesday is almost over so we are on the downhill side of the week toward the weekend! And I'm leaving work on time tonight! And we have 1/2 bottle of wine waiting for me while I cook dinner!

Edit: words. Also: did not get to leave on time. And found out I screwed something up. Ahhhhrgggg. This job is the pits. But, still, yay wine!

[notthedroids]

Whine: work is taking over my life and stressing me out to a new extreme.

Wine: literal. I'm drinking some. Plus I do still love my job and was complimented three times in the last two days on my work. So it's worth it?
