Massive layoffs are happening today. I'm nervous. I'm still in my probationary period as a new employee--8 months into the 9 month probation. I know I'm in extremely good standing with the agency right up to the ED, but if they are having to cut union contracts, they might be forced to eliminate my position.
FUCKING SEQUESTER.
Even if I get to stay, this day is going to be horrible. My staff doesn't know about the layoffs, so its going to be a shitstorm when everything goes down.
Someone on another forum I frequent posted a link for shark gloves that have upwards facing thorns inside them so the glove can only be removed by being cut off. They look really cool, in a novelty sort of way, too bad they are 720 euros a pair.
We finally finished all our spring cleaning, and got rid of so much clutter. I can't believe how much crap we managed to accumulate in our closets. It feels so nice!
Ugh, sequestration does suck. On the bright side, my agency's weekly furlough days start the week I come back from maternity leave, so at least I get an extra day home.
Next week is DH's first OOT trip since DS was born. I'm scared of having both kids on my own for a week, thank God my mom is available to come over for the dinner-bath-bedtime circus.
I had an argument with my mom yesterday because she is literally keeping score with the in-laws w/r/t how often she sees DS and what the ILs get to do with DS. She told me she was keeping score last night as I was walking to get DS his birthday cupcakes and I hung up on her. I don't know when I am going to feel like dealing with her again. I am not putting up with DS being used as some sort of a pawn or tool for manipulation. Eff that.
DH may have made a $2K mistake last night and I am going to kill him if we lose that money.
My bio dad (with whom I have a very limited relationship) is really starting to annoy me with regards to the wedding.
He's planning on getting into town on Tuesday when the wedding isn't until Saturday. And I'm sure he's expecting to be entertained. Plus I'm still angry that he hasn't said anything about it being fine if my step-dad (who I consider to be my father) walks me down the aisle.
DS is in preschool today. I plan on getting groceries, mopping the floor, and going to costco all by myself. Which I'm happy about. What I reeeeeaaallly feel like doing is getting a manicure and watching a movie. But I promised h I'd cut back my spending.
Yikes, that sucks miss. I hope it isn't as ad as you think.
I am home today because the workers are finishing up the new deck and stairs off my kitchen. I am so excited. No more walking around the house to get to the garden.
But now I think I need to win the lottery so I can stay home all the time. Even though I got up 30 minutes after my normal wake up time, it was wonderful. Now I am having some coffee and checking work emails before getting ready to work in the yard and to start work on my DIY tumbling composter.
I'll keep my fingeres crossed you Miss. I'm also dying at your sig pic. OMG, what a cutie!
I did day 2 of the C25K. I really, REALLY didn't want to do it but I did! My thighs are fucking killing me and my ankles have blisters so bad they bled through my bandaids and socks. BUT I FUCKING DID IT!!
Thank you!!! How hilarious is he? He was being so goofy that day making faces at H, who was watering the garden outside. He cracks me up.
Also---awesome job on C25k but omg, you need new shoes.

I am disappointed in Jack. I knew this day would come as he is one of the oldest at daycare/preschool. Yesterday we found out he was pulling mean girl crap all day. "You can't play with me. You can't sit by me." Then the icing on the cake was when he told a kid that he had to show his booty if he wanted to play with the group. Obviously he got in big trouble at daycare. The other parents were notified. And we had a long talk last night and no tv for a week. I hope we all put the fear of god into him and he knocks off that crap. He is such a tender little guy but being big guy on campus has gone to his head. I am pretty laid back about a lot of things, but but being rude to other kids is something I take very seriously.

I feel like a Sue Sue sheep bc my baby is waking up clearly hungry once a night lately (maybe a growth spurt?) and I'm like PROTEIN!!! I've introduced him to rotisserie chicken, black beans, and this morning we're trying a scrambled egg.
He's small for his age and BF'ed and I'm sensitive about him being hungry still, like I'm not feeding him enough. When my in laws comment I want to throw things.
My mil watches him now twice a week and told some long story about how he was staring her down as she ate dessert- a lollipop. All it made me think was who the F over the age of ten eats a lollipop for dessert??

Good for you! Are your socks too short or something though? That sounds painful!
My house is a disaster right now and I don't know when I'm going to have time to actually really clean it. There honestly are not enough hours in the day for me to do all that I need/want to do.
I've been studying my CLEP study guide and am taking my first exam in 2 weeks. If all goes well, I'll be able to get some credits before I actually start school in the fall.
I had a horrible dream that H cheated on me and when it woke me up at 4:30 this morning, I had to refrain from punching him!
I think I have a tapeworm that only takes in water. I am SO thirsty and dehydrated the last few days. I don't drink much anyway, and my body has learned to deal.. But I've been trying to drink more, and now I'm always parched. It's like I switched of the coping mechanism. lol
IDK puddle, I feel like blisters that bad shouldn't happen in new shoes. What kind of socks were you wearing? There are running socks with these little squishy rolls on the heels, those might help.
But if its not too late, I might try returning the shoe. You may be certified BA enough to run through bloody socks, but...you shouldn't have to ;-)

We had something very similar recently. My ds is 4. It sucks so bad.
Hang in there. We just reinforce everyday how we should behave and treat other people.
Eta: it's kind of hard to deal with right? I haven't ever been "really" disappointed in my ds. It hurts my heart and makes me question myself. But I am a worrier by nature anyway.
puddleofgrace, get thee some new shoes, stat! You are a rock star for keeping it up but it will be better if you aren't killing your feet in the process! ETA: Just saw that they are new shoes. Hmm. Can you exchange them? Your poor feet shouldn't be bleeding!
He is OOT for work until Friday. I'm looking forward to having complete control over the TV after the kids are in bed.
Another snowstorm is headed our way. WTF, MOTHER NATURE??
I didn't realize until a couple days ago that angelaa73's app sig is from a song. I'm slow.
I hope your day is as calm as it can possibly be, missusbee.
We are taking our admin. assistant out to lunch for her birthday and I was just asked to drive. I need to straighten out my car. It looks like I live in it right now!
