Monday of a Holiday Week!

[penguin129]

Hi all! I hope your weekend was wonderful.

DH may have got shorted in his last pay from the old school. They gave us a lump sum, but the numbers just aren't adding up. I can't get on his ADP and we don't have a paper stub yet. I'm going to have him call them later.

Sorry it wasn't the amount you expected, penguin129. Hopefully he was shorted (as then they can fix it and you guys can get that extra money versus it being right but lower because of being taxed higher or something).

We had a pretty good weekend. I got more done around the house than I expected, though it was somewhat different stuff than planned. I had hoped to get a bunch of dishes done, but my hand just wasn't up to it. I got all of the trailer unloaded though instead, which needed to be done ASAP. I also finally rearranged the living room. I even managed to squeeze in a place to have my cutting mat and ironing board on a table, so I am not trying to work with fabrics on the floor.

Happy Monday (or something)! Sorry for your difficulties, penguin129. Hopefully you get it sorted soon.

Today I need to meal plan/grocery shop. Work on laundry. And figure out what to do about the blood draw I need for my thyroid meds, since the normal doctor I go to has no appointments this week. Guess I'll call my primary care and get him to rx it instead.

penguin129,Hopefully it gets figured out soon.
gnomesweetgnome, That sounds frustrating (about your thyroid blood draw issue). I recently had an issue trying to get a blood draw ordered for my thyroid. After having my baby I knew I was going to need a blood draw but my doctor didn't order one and it took several calls to get it all figured out.

I'm sitting in a room waiting for my girls to be done with their sibling class. I was hoping I could leave but I have to wait. Oh well.

I was just laid off too. My pto and severance will be taxed at around 45 percent. They automatically tax 25 percent at the federal level, plus SS MC, etc... and then whatever your state has for taxes. there are calculators out there that will estimate for you. Also I was told my severance would not be in my last check as they have to hold the release I signed for 7 days. not sure if any of that applies to him but could be why the check was smaller.

[penguin129]

Thank you for your input prmommy.

penguin129, ugh thats annoying. Hopefully you guys can get that figured out asap!
3timemom, What is a sibling class?


afm. I'm fucking sick and I hate it. I rescheduled a dr's appt today in order to hopefully get some rest for my job interview tomorrow.

[penguin129]

DH called the school to reset his account so we can look at his pay stub. We'll most likely have to wait until tomorrow to see it since the bank put his check in a day early.

This past weekend was graduation for DH's students. He gets two weeks... well, not off, really, but he's going to take some leave and we're going to Colorado and Utah. Then this whole insanity starts again. Ugh. A couple weeks does not make up for what they expect.

gwapes it's a class kids can take when mom is going to have a baby. They talked about how babies eat breastmilk or formula, how to hold baby, what they can do to help with baby. They watched a movie, read a few books, for a snack which was the highlight, then we went on a tour of L&D and they got to see a baby in the nursery and see a room that mom could be in. They also have them each a big sister/ brother shirt.

3timemom I hope the girls enjoyed their class. DD really loved it.

We had friends over to play this morning and it was obviously raining so the kids were going crazy inside. It was nice to have another mom to talk with and she's pregnant with her 3rd too so it was fun to commiserate.

Today was pretty low key. We had our anatomy scan and then we went to the zoo for a little bit. It of course was raining so we did the indoor rainforest and called it a day. I'm so sick of this weather.

[3timemom]

ashiscute they did like it. My oldest said I already know all this stuff. But she still had fun.

[amelandre]

I'm trying so hard to stay awake until this baby conks out. Seems like if I even breathe her little eyes flutter open. After 3.5 hrs last night and no nap today, i'm starting to feel more than a little loony.

Sadly, no big plans for us for the 4th. DH has to work as per usual. Holidays & weekends are never very exciting for us. I'll probably just roast some hot dogs with DS and watch the neighbors battle the neighborhood across the lake for firework supremacy. Maybe i'll go get glow sticks to pass out to the kids on our side. Maybe. They do like yelling during DS's naptime a whole lot....

They do. It's one of the classes you can take, all 3 hospitals I have delivered at offer it. This is the first one we have actually gone to though.
