I leave the boys in the car when I run into the post office. We have a tiny post office and I can see them the whole time I'm in there. In the summer I leave the windows cracked or the ac going and in the winter the heat is on. It's just so much easier to grab the mail without getting 2 kids in and out of the car.

I got a raise this month and it was just short of what I was hoping it would be, and I've been irritated about it. The amount I was hoping it would be is only $1k a year less than what I got so not a super huge amount. I know I should be extremely thankful that I got a raise and I have such amazing flexibility to take off whenever I need to or work from home if I have to, etc, and I've worked here long enough to be up to 3 weeks vacation, but I'm still mad I didn't get the extra $.
I knew our boss was looking at or salaries and I was planning on talking to him this week about mine, but he threw me off yesterday telling me he already put mine in effect July 1st so I didn't have the opportunity to negotiate like I had planned.

I want to get a job in our city's public school district... more money, holidays off, summers off, done by 3pm (in theory).
BUT,
I secretly want to go back to my old PreK class at the day care/early learning center. It's not salaried, barely any holidays off, work through the summer and work til 4.
I mainly want to go back to the daycare because I know I can take vacation whenever I want and DH and I would like to go back to Disney in November.
Obvi I would take a public school job in a heartbeat but I won't be terribly upset if I have to go back to my old school lol. I guess Disney is my priority haha.
I am really disliking my dogs here lately. My bulldog will be 10 in September and he is stinking really bad. I love him but it's gotten to where I don't like to pet him because he is shedding terribly bad and just stinks.
I want to knock Bernie through the wall sometimes. She is SO obnoxious and annoying. She jumps up on you nonstop regardless of the disciplining and runs around like a Tasmanian devil. I know that she is young and doesn't get the attention she needs but she still annoys me. I am thinking about shelling out money that I don't have to have someone train her for a couple of weeks in their home. Plus getting her ass spayed!
We were talking about my going back to work yesterday. DH said ideally he would like me to start looking next month with the goal of being employed by October
I know the only way this would make any sense is to go full time somewhere otherwise the day care cost probably wouldn't even be covered.
I told DH I'd like to at least get through the summer. Secretly, I'd love to get through the holidays too. By then she'll be walking and talking a bit and if feel better about sending her somewhere I think. It's also bitter sweet because we are one and done so this will be the only baby I can do this with. I also know we need the money because we don't really have a buffer for incidents (like the really expensive vet bill for Jacks).
Also need to decide if I want to go back into investing and keep my licenses or if I'd rather use my degree in HR management and look for something new. If i do that, I don't have the experience so it'll be back to entry level but eventually I'll be doing something I like?
Blah. Or I can just stay home and not have to make super grown up decisions. Man, too deep for a Friday lol.
Go with what you would like to do. You're going to be working for the next 30 years (assuming you work until you retire), so it may be entry level to start but that's a LOT of years to be able to move up to get a position you want!

C fell off the bed while we were on vacation. She wasn't hurt and cried just for a few seconds. I felt terrible like the world's worst mom for sure. Fffc: I never told DH. He is crazy about when she bumps her head so I did not want to endure the reaction.

I don't tell my husband when the dog craps on the floor. I just pick it up, flush it down the toilet, clean the carpet and hope he doesn't notice. He gets really annoyed by it and I don't want to deal with. Max (the dog) isn't an aggressive pooper; he's just old and sometimes forgets to go when I put him out about five minutes earlier.

My FFFC: I applied for a job and had a really great interview on Wednesday. I have another interview sometime next week. I'm going to do my very best but I'm secretly hoping that they don't offer me the job, or they offer it to me with too low of a salary. I don't want to make a decision.
I felt bad over my FFFC, so I went home at lunch and gave Bernie a long walk and loved on her. She really is a good dog, it's just hard for me to give her the attention that she really needs (right now). I'm going to sign us up for doggy training classes.
My in laws just got here and I can't wait till they leave. It's just chaos and I hate it.
And I spent way too much on her birthday party and trying to find ways to hide it from my husband. Flame away
I could not have summed up my feelings any better. Crazy inlaws have invaded and DH isn't allowed to ask how much of my "fun" money I've spent on decor.
My FFFC is sometimes I rock P to sleep and stay in the nursery for a bit to avoid the work and chores I need to do. I'm currently snuggling my sleeping baby because I don't want to spend time with my BSC inlaws.

May be time to revive the in law/parent thread. Aug14 has one going too....
I have a whole week ahead with my ILs and crazy BIL. Im sure i'll have lots of stories. I actually already do. Im not making my son a gluten free bday cake just because youre crazy BIL. NOPE.
Also I'm being that special kind of BSC and obsessing over everything that might be a symptom of being KU. I'm ashamed of myself and should go sit in a corner.
I had a meeting with my bosses to talk about my schedule now that LO is one (I work 7-3 with no lunch break). I think I get to keep my schedule (yay!), but in the conversation, the head of my department was saying how important family is, etc., and it made me want to say, "you know, you're right. I quit."
I didn't, but I thought about it. Thanks for the extra mommy guilt, boss-man.

My company is hiring in HR, but you'd have to come out to California and live at the beach...it's rough.
