I haven't been around much today. My mom is really ill and was admitted to the hospital. She will remain there for 3-4 days until her WBC increases. We came to my parents house, so I have been cleaning like crazy, so she won't have anything to worry about when she gets home. I am SO tired.
T&Ps for your mom. Hope you get some rest tonight.

Adulting is hard. I put some family members before me in my early years and didn't finish school when I should have. I'm starting again this fall and I just did my financial aid counseling and promissory note. This crap confuses me so bad. Also, I'm not quite sure how to juggle two jobs, 2 kids, and full time schooling. I mean I have DH but he also works full time, plus an occasional side job. I need a clone, maybe 2 or 3.
mrsclark731jensoprano82 I haven't tried booking anything yet because I haven't had too many problems yet. It's bound to happen though. Plus, I have to maneuver my pumping times every day around different meetings.
The reservations are bogus, they are standing instructions for Monday-Friday that people have made. They are blocked out most of the day and the reservations for each room overlap each other. You would think they wouldn't let the reservations overlap the rooms since there are only 2 rooms available. Both in the morning and afternoons both rooms are booked. They have an employee that "manages" the area, it's called our benefits manager. Who knows if she follows up with these people with reservations to see if they still need them.
Since both rooms are booked from 3-3:30, I went over to the rooms to pump at 2:15 and both rooms were full. So I waited until 2:40 until someone finally came out. I didn't get back to my desk until almost 3. I feel bad for my coworkers because I lose my spot if I go back to my desk. There is no way that I can pump in my car, it's 100 degrees outside.
If it starts becoming a problem with getting kicked out of the rooms, I am going to talk to someone in my actual building to see if there is somewhere for me to pump. I don't care if it is a storage room with just a table and chair. Or I might just tell the reservation person to hold on, I am able to pump in 10 minutes max and be out of the room. Some of these ladies are using a full 30 minutes to pump. Who knows if it really takes them that long or they are using the pumping privilege to get more time away from their desk.
wow that's not ok, if the demand is too high they need to make another room available so everyone can have their slot, no? Im one of those inconsiderate people that would need the full 30 minutes. I was EPing and it got harder and harder to pump with time and would take me half an hour.That's one of the main reasons I had to stop. I envy you for being able to do it in 10!!! Awesome!
Thanks lilyelayne, cougarette, and GeekBeagle. I try to talk about other things on here, but this is just such a consuming part of my life right now. Thanks for listening.
I'm so sorry. What does WBC stand for?? I hope she feels better soon!

I think white blood cell count. Hugs mommadozer!!! Wishing you guys all the best. Xxx
mumomma13, I hope your mother recovers soon! If it's too private, you don't have to tell me - what illness does she have to cause her WBC to tank?
I'm a bit curious because I naturally have low WBC count since birth, it gets flagged every time I have my physical exam. Nothing is wrong with me except I used to get sick a lot as a child, and have developed OCD habits to keep myself healthy. Just want to know what conditions out there that could make it go even lower.

IIRC, mumomma13's mom just started chemo last week.
