I had a migraine last night and suddenly dh couldn't seem to handle the kids by Himself and the baby was up every 3 hours. Speech came today and is coming tomorrow for ds1. He refused to work today so shes hoping tomorrow is better. He also will not eat. At all. Unless it's pasta. Update: he ate half his breakfast sandwich! I just had to cut the crust off, cut it in 4 squares, put ketchup on the side (which he didn't touch), give him 3 billion napkins, and a handful of meltdowns over 3 hours. But hey, he ate real food. I call today a win.
bibliothecary, I don't think it's tacky - if someone is asking what you want/need tell them! We always try to steer our families that direction so we don't have to pack and fly home with a bunch of stuff. Sometimes it works, sometimes they don't pay attention.
We're having a lazy morning. I'm currently nursing A in bed and eating Greek yogurt and drinking my coffee. My only plans for today are to finish some thank you cards, and watch baseball. Crockpot chicken was a success last night and we have leftovers for tonight so I don't even need to think about dinner. It's a good Wednesday.
bibliothecary, not tacky, but the real question is will they comply? We ask my ILs because fil likes to raid dollar stores for our gifts, and is incredibly wasteful, but they never listen when they ask what we need and still just buy random shit.
Let me introduce him to my mother. They can shop together. She's finally starting to get it, though. Her last few gifts have been on point.
We need to run errands today. Luckily H is home to go with me. I also need to start making A's costume. I have all the supplies, she just won't let me put her down and screams when H holds her.
Well E was going on 10 hours so I got her up to eat since I'd like for her to do so several times before I have to take her to sitter. Now she's sitting in her mamaroo trying to follow the cats with her eyes while they chase each other around.
Thanks for the well wishes! I already got an email asking for a second interview. Problem is, I hated it. Didn't like the lady id be working under, the job sounds awful, and the three people who separately interviewed me all said that there would be resentment in the department because a few of the people showed interest in the position but weren't qualified. They said they have "strong personalities" a AKA bitches. The lady who would be my supervisor basically said there wouldn't be a lot of time to train me either. It was almost like she was trying to make it sound awful.
My gut says heck no but it's a lot more money than I'm making now and Monday through Friday so I'm so conflicted.

Ugh. That's frustrating. Is this a position you can use as a jumping off point?

I'd do the second interview. At the very least you are getting practice interviewing. If they offer the position to you then you can decide.
I find it extremely unprofessional that they would tell you there would be resentment from other employees. Sounds like the supervisor is making assumptions which isn't fair.

True.
All three people I interviewed with it said that.. Which seems to me like the department is a mess. And I think it's insane too that they said that to me.

No. It's not even what my degree is in but there are no jobs here in my field right now.. Basically, I'm a librarian and this is a book/entertainment distributor. But my position would be a glorified call center person...

I just got done purging a ridiculous amount of toys from DDs room. My ILs love to buy her things(mostly cheap plastic stuff that wouldn't hold up very long) for every occasion, so I end up giving away a ton of toys. I had 2 trash bags full and my last purge was only 2 months ago. I hate clutter and am trying to do a better job of getting rid of it.
Interviewed a nanny yesterday. We liked her but the family she is with now and would be with on days she's not with us doesn't vaccinate. She's had tdap and flu but I'm not sure if it's an issue for me or not. I guess I need to look into any other vaccines that maybe she could get to keep us covered.
Observation: no one IDs you (for alcohol) when you have a baby with you. Finally.
Except in Utah where apparently it's frowned upon (read: Illegal) to bring a baby to a bar (that serves food). Such a killjoy. I was really looking forward to bar food.

That's annoying. I'm not sure what I'd do. I appreciate her honesty. On one hand i'm sure the chances are small that she'd bring something to B. But on the other hand what if.... Ugh good luck with your decision. Maybe ask the pedi for advice?

Did I ever tell you I was on a family vacation when I turned 21. Any guesses what state I was in? Let's just say it was memorable and it's been just over 10 yrs. Lol

Ah, that's lame. Little B went to a bunch of vineyards this past weekend for wine tasting... Wonder what Utah would think about that.

I am a mess. My emotions are getting to me. ***trigger death mentioned***
On sept 1 a former collage (at a job I had about 5 yrs ago) posted that her mom was feeling off so she went into the doctor. They found a brain tumor. It was cancer. She died 41 days later. What the fuck.
elizabethnevadap did you post about the nosefrida?? I feel like I read it during MOTN feeding maybe??
Well it is amazing, after trying to clear up L's nose with a bulb thingy lots of crying and no luck, I picked one up. Few drops of saline and was able to clear her nose out, it's gross when you think about what you're doing...literally suck snot out with your mouth. But works a thousand times better and has made for a more wonderful Wednesday now that L can breathe easier!

First day back at work. Just counting down the hours until I can leave and pick up Liam! I went ahead and requested Friday and Saturday off, since the in-laws are visiting. So I just need to get through today and tomorrow.
