it's the weekend!

[toadandbuggie]

Long week so I'm so happy it's the weekend! I love these 4 day weekends. I think everyone in the office is super jealous!

I'm back in the swing of things at work and don't miss feeling like a "Bad guy." I'm a health inspector so people generally don't great me with wide open arms. Especially at times like yesterday, when I had to ask a restaurant to dispose of like 30 cartons of milkshake mix because the refrigerator broke and they had no idea (it was in the basement). So this stuff was not refrigerated for an undetermined amount of time.

The owner said, "No problem, I'm going out of business anyway!" and wanted to kill me, but what were you going to do - serve bad milkshakes and potentially get people sick (ESPECIALLY children, who frequent this place!).

I swear, from the things that I've seen... I don't know if I ever want to take my LO out to eat. At least not around me!

[aggiebug]

Good morning. DD woke up at 4am and she was afraid she wouldn't go back to sleep but she did. Yay.

[toadandbuggie]

badw0lf, Ugh that would make me feel uneasy too.
aggiebug, Better luck than I did last night! LO was up ready to party at 5:30 and has not gone back to bed... but he did just pass out on my boob.

[lotsofdotts]

Good morning, ladies! Nothing like waking up to a poopslosion. Great way to start the day. :/

Today will be another day inside trying to avoid the heat. I'm over upper 90s to 100 in good ol' NC. We are having the final inspection today of the work we did on the man cave. Once it is signed off, we can start cleaning out the garage and selling stuff. Yay for decluttering!

[mrsclark731]

Morning!

toadandbuggie, what a bad ass job! You protect the public...very admirable. I was just reading the health grades of all my favorite local restaurants in the paper. It freaks me out.

aggiebug, I feel your pain. LO does that to me a couple times a week. On the bright side maybe that means a long morning nap is in the future?

H is traveling to his office in NYC today, which he usually never does on a Friday. There is some big vendor meeting he must attend and it won't be over until 5. He is taking the Acella train back....but he still won't be home until after bed time. First solo bed time for me

[toadandbuggie]

mrsclark731, Thanks. I do enjoy my job. I wish we had grades for our restaurant inspections. I know in some states and in NYC they have to post the letter grade on the front door. But in my state you don't have to do that and so it's not really that obvious when a restaurant is having violations.

I know there is an app that you can download and it can show you all the violations restaurants in your area have.

[miniwheat]

Morning. The kids both slept well last night but I was still up from 1 to 5am last night with an upset stomach. WHY!!!
I could have slept almost all night!

[miniwheat]

toadandbuggie, I think if I had your job I would never eat at a restaurant again!

Oh, they have to post them in NY and NJ. I'm always looking. I agree with miniwheat ... If I had your job I'd probably never eat at a restaurant again!

Morning ladies. Taking DD to my parents' house later today for the weekend. DH's birthday is today so we're taking some time to ourselves to celebrate his birthday and relax for a bit. We'll go over to get her on Sunday and also hang out for a bit for Father's Day.

Not much else going on here. I'm looking forward to having some uninterrupted video game time with DH and actually play together instead of taking turns!

[mmarie]

DD slept from 7pm to 6am last night and the night before. Also I have an interview for my dream job this afternoon! Today is going to be a good day!

[mmarie]

toadandbuggie I totally respect what you do! And I know there is no way I would eat anywhere if I had your job.

[mamabisme]

Morning! Yesterday was rough for DD. We got home home around 4 and she pretty much spent the next 4 hours in tears. She was super hungry but couldn't eat anything. She was in pain so I gave her the pain meds she was prescribed but since she wasn't eating they made her sick. Poor kid just couldn't catch a break. She went to bed around 8 and slept until 6:30 this morning.

We had a few tears this morning as well. She woke up in pain again. Still won't eat much so this time I just gave Tylenol. The vomiting yesterday was really upsetting for her and I'm sure it hurt as well. So, no more strong meds until she can eat some food. Tylenol seems to have taken the edge off and she's been slowly sipping on a yogurt smoothie. Poor baby. Here's hoping today is a better day than yesterday.

I think having the grade on the door to some restaurants would probably save me from eating out a lot more! If it didn't have an 'A', I'd probably leave.. lol

throwing up is the worst feeling in the world after you get your tonsils out. Hope she feels better really soon!

[michelle142]

I walked 4 miles at lunch yesterday on the trails near my office. My legs were paying for it last night.

DD slept 7PM until 5AM last night! A quick feed at 5 and she was back to sleep, still sleeping when I left for work.

Be prepared for lots of random posts from me today, I'm so close to Bronze Reg!

[WittyLittle]

mamabisme your poor dd! Feel better soon

Just finished presenting. It went ok but my head is with ds. Apparenrly he only wants half his bottles and keeps arching his back when hes in thd bouncer or on dh's lap..."like hes annoyed". I dont know what that means but i dont like it when im far away anyone know what dh is talking about? :S

[mels823]

My best friend sent a group fb message last night saying that for her 30th birthday in January she wants to take a 5 day trip somewhere warm and tropical.... I can't imagine just leaving on a trip for 5 days and leaving my husband alone with LO who will have just turned 1 the day before.....

Am I the only one who finds this a bit ridicuous? After plane tickets, hotel rooms, and spending money, this will be over a grand. I am not made of money!! She says she is telling me now so I can start saving... I don't want that to be where my savings go though!

Sounds like he's got a gas bubble that needs to get out.

I would be all for this trip... if she were paying for it!!
It seems a bit ridiculous to plan a 5 day vacation for your own birthday and just expect your friends to tag along.

Aaaaah! Hadnt thought of that! Its been a while since we had gas issues! Thanks

My child literally forgot how to sleep. He was up at 1145 fussing-fed him and put him back in the crib-he stayed awake for 3 hours!!!!

When oh when does this horrible regression end.

[taberbtb]

osumegs I think I jinxed myself saying how well B slept with the Merlin suit. Last night was AWFUL. Merlin, we miss you and all your sleep magic goodness!

DD is going for her first sleep over without me tonight. I am going to help a friend move after work and didn't want to feel rush that I had to get back for her. She also has a 14 month old and a 6 year old and we really didn't need to add another one in to the mix or we may not get anything done.

I was having a really hard time with being a part from her for the first night ever, but after her performance last night it doesn't feel as difficult anymore?

I think I'd laugh in her face. That sounds so self-absorbed, expecting people to just be okay dropping all that money. Then, on top of it, I'm sure she'd expect to only do what she wants to do while on the trip, because it's her birthday, and you might not even be able to enjoy the trip like you'd want to.

Hell to the no.

If she had talked to you and *asked* about what might be something good to do that's one thing, but just expecting you to save up a ton of money and just go off on this trip is just crazy.

[miniwheat]

mamabisme, Poor kiddo! I hope he has a better day today.
mels823, IMO that is very ridiculous. And to give you a heads up to "start saving"?! Umm.. no.

[jensoprano82]

This falls under my "destination wedding" rule: you want people to travel? You pay. Period. Unless it's super mutual and not planned by you (like a group of friends gets together and decides)

My DH's bff is getting married August 1st (the damn three hour drive childless wedding I was bitching about before) and the bachelor party was an overly extravagant white water rafting trip to Portland. We spent like $800 on the weekend!!! But who wants to be the one guy in the group who won't go? Aaaarg

toadandbuggie - I own restaurants and we welcome our health inspectors. We run a tight clean ship and we're proud of it. I'll take my A now please!

Ladies: please don't EVER eat at a non A. It's actually kinda hard to get bumped down a letter grade, you have to have something pretty wrong going on.

My Dad worked for OSHA for like 36 years. He started out as an inspector so I know what you mean. People didn't like him coming around but it was for their safety... keep up the good work!

[mels823]

michelle142, dacora, miniwheat, badw0lf, thank you! It blows my mind that the other girls are like "ok sounds great!". Granted, none of them have kids or mortgages to pay.... but to me it just seems crazy. I feel bad saying no because she was my MOH and has put in a lot of time for my wedding and bridal shower and then came to my baby shower... but I just cannot leave for a whole week. I'm down to celebrate her wedding and kids if she has them, but for a 30th birthday... I just can't. I'd love to do a night out in Boston or something, but not a week, probably out of the country.
