Oh, dovahfel, that sounds awful. How unprofessional of both of those subs. And I am angry for you about your H. I don't understand why he would back out. Huge hugs to you.

dovahfel Hugs. I am sorry you aren't having a great week. I hope your asthma has calmed down and you get back into the swing of things at work (totally inappropriate for a sub to conference with a parent!).
H and I got into it last night and I think he's still upset. I got home late and he had already worked out and asked me "what time will dinner be ready?" Dude, the right question is "what can I do to help you".
We have a dry erase board where I do my menu planning for the week. I always assign H one night a week to cook dinner. So this morning I said "hey since you're working from home today lets switch your dinner night to tonight". Cue H whining about how he doesn't want to cook tonight and how it's not his job. Too bad!!!!!!
I use to do that and haven't lately. I need to start again. It just stinks when he gets to be home an hour before me and complains about cleaning the cat boxes, while I'm standing in the kitchen trying to make dinner, pack lunches, and clean a whole sink of dishes.

The meal planning is drastically helping us not eat out so much. And I will say H will start dinner if he sees on the board its something he's capable of starting.

We meal plan (it saves so much $) but he is bad about coming home and going straight to the treadmill. I told him last night it would be nice if I could come home and work out instead of running around the house.
My work is getting crazier and I think staying late is the new norm.

dovahfel I'm so sorry you're having a rough week and your H is being a pill. Mine has had his moments during all of this stuff where I wanted to throttle him. I hope things turn for the better soon!

Good luck with the SA, mustloveerica! If you don't mind sharing, I was just wondering what a pet sitter like that costs? We pay $50/night to board our lab and it would be SO MUCH EASIER not having to load her in the car.
And +1 for a dry erase board for meal planning. I plan the meals and make sure there are at least 2 out of 5 that MH is able to make. (It's usually tacos and some sort of pork loin). MH had zero cooking skills when I met him, but he's come a long way with a little practice and patience.

MH is usually home and hour or two before me and this drives me crazy...he tried to tell me the other day when he was complaining that the house was messy (and I suggested that this was something he could actually help fix)...that he spends "an hour or so" cleaning every day when he gets home...I nearly died laughing. I don't know what he's cleaning...since I do 90% of the dishes, laundry, vacuuming, etc...maybe he's spending a lot of time cleaning the keyboard on his laptop because it always appears to me he's playing a video game on it when I get home...humph.

This pet sitter is charging us $35 a day for 1 dog plus $5 a day for each additional pet. We have 5 pets so it's $55 a day. Which seems a steal to me. She will stay overnight, feed everyone twice a day, let the dogs out 3 times per day (or as needed for the puppy in the evening), and she will take the dogs for a long walk in the evening. Plus the usual litter box cleaning and what not. She works full time as well but she is nearby enough that she can come by on her break to take the puppy out for a mid day break. I looked up some other prices on care.com and it seems $50-$60 a day is pretty standard. I might never go back to kennels if this works out. Kennels seem to want about $70 a day for my dogs and they don't even get all of that personalized care of playtime.
kleigh , My run group trains for half marathons. Tonight's run will be about 5 miles.
nuggetrn , I still need to make reservations, but we want to try to go to the Melting Pot (fondue) one night and a Brazilian rodizio the other. We are going to go to some museums and maybe see the Body Worlds exhibition. Sleeping in is also a priority!
So jelly. I love Body Worlds.
Make sure you have a strong stomach though... That exhibit is definitely not for everyone.

FX for H's SA today mustloveerica dovahfel I'm so sorry about the bad week and being benched now.
It's Thursday so I am working from home today all snuggly and warm and in PJ's. I love Thursdays. I'm waiting for my meds to arrive today, it has me real nervous for some reason.

That does seem like a steal! Especially if she is staying there.
I love staycations! One of my favorite things about where we live is how much variety is within a couple hours. I hate going to the city every day for my commute...but love it for a night out! I'm trying to plan a ski weekend for H's bday and a couple of his friends and SOs. I love planning trips but feel like they want me to "work" at work...I'd rather compare rental options and finalize plans, thank you.

Ugh the next 3 nights are going to be rough at work. Damn daycare germs giving us all colds! Also dear god I walked by the toddler 1 classroom after dropping DS off and there was a sign that said they had one confirmed case of ringworm. NO. Why are kids so gross?!
I'm sorry about your crappy week, dovahfel. That really does suck. Hugs to you!
mustloveerica - That is a great price for having a sitter stay at your house to take care of all your animals! I wish we could find someone like that for when we go on vacation. Though, my dogs absolutely love going to Camp Bow Wow and I'd almost feel bad not sending them.

dovahfel, that sounds like a rough week. I have asthma, and now that I'm an adult, it seems to only flare up when I'm sick. It really sucks.
I'm loving the idea of a staycation. My city really does have some amazing things to do, but we just never think to do them. Although, summertime is a better time since a lot of our outdoor things are free.
This week has been a hard one. I was in the ER last week with my very first athsma attack. I didn't even know I had asthma but there it is. Die to that emergency my sub plans were terrible. The sub then complained about me to the principal, my mentor.....and about every other staff and faculty member in the school. I've had FOUR people talk to me about it. So embarrassing. I also was laid up with a fever (athsma was from being sick) so I missed more days....one of the other subs took it upon herself to conference with a parent because they knew each other outside of school. That parent came to me yesterday to ream me about bad communication because the sub told her about some kind of project that doesn't even exist...
I'm also trying to not think about the fact that today we were going to do my husband's SA, but he backed down because it was too hard to get to the clinic, so he effectively benched us for 4 months at least.
As a sub, this makes me irrationally irritated really fucking mad. Subs should know that you can go into a classroom and there are ZERO plans. Some days you just wing it. And under no circumstances are subs supposed to talk to parents. I hope you're feeling better!
Also big hugs. I hope your H changes his mind. I have a feeling it's more than just too hard to get to the clinic though because that seems like a huge cop out excuse. Maybe you could talk to him more about it?

Uuugh ringworm sucks. One of the chinchillas at the Petsmart I work at somehow got it. Poor babies
H is going for another SA today. I'm feeling incredibly anxious about it because it's going to determine our next plan of attack.
Other than that, we have a pet sitter coming over tonight to discuss watching our zoo next week when we go to Mexico. I had originally booked a boarding appointment at a kennel for the dogs and was going to have my mom come care for the cats but then I started having a lot of stress over boarding a 4 month old puppy. A girl I went to high school with out of the blue posted on her Facebook a reminder about how she does pet sitting. So I immediately called her up. I feel sooooo much better about this. She will stay overnight too so it'll be someone watching the dogs, watching the cats AND watching the house. Much better idea.

Just got this text from H...
"You know you're a regular at the Splooge in a Cup Shop when the nurse doesn't even call your name but walks right up to you in a crowded waiting room and greets you by first name like old friends."
"You know you're a regular at the Splooge in a Cup Shop when the nurse doesn't even call your name but walks right up to you in a crowded waiting room and greets you by first name like old friends."
Hahaha.
Did you tell him that all of your friends are cheering him on?
Also, good luck!! Hope the labs come back with good numbers!!

I had to go in to the office last week and the office manager had a bad cold and was literally bragging about coming in to work sick. No one wants you here! Just stay home for the first few days until you are not dripping snot like a leaky faucet. To make it worse her boss is 8 months pregnant and high risk due to AMA, the last thing she needs is to get sick.
