The joint where my left femur connects to my pelvis has been hurting for awhile, but today it's really bad. I can't really put pressure on my left leg. I feel like my leg is going to fall off lol
I am hoping this is just pregnancy related because I have absolutely no idea what to do to make it better.
Attended my 20th HS reunion on Saturday. It was a bit of a bust. Out of 500+ alumni only about 20-25 showed up. I was able to catch up with a few people which was great and made the best of it but it could have been better.
Then, we came home to discover that one of our cats was locked out of the house the whole weekend! She's fine but we felt terrible. She's not an outdoor cat but always wants to go outside, I think at some point when we let our dog out, the cat escaped and we didn't notice or M did it and didn't tell us.
Missusbee, I am so sorry I think everything you're feeling is completely normal. I hope you feel better soon and that the police figure something out. Hugs.
Hugs to you, curly.
DD is sick again...surprise, surprise. I feel so bad for her. But I do love the snuggles I get when she isn't feeling well and really wants her mommy.
I hate shitty customer service. I just heard the lady that sits at one of the front desks tell a guy that came in to "just ring the bell and someone will come help him". Really? You were standing right there to tell him that but couldn't just find out what he needed and help him? Plus she's walking around here all slow and shit because her back hurts. I'm taking bets on how long it takes her to go home sick. And we can wear western wear this week since it's rodeo week. She's wearing jean capris and flip flops.
On the plus side, we can wear western wear this week so I'm wearing jeans and my boots! YAY for jeans all week!
luckyval What a little troublemaker! How did you react??
Curiosity got better of him - I had an old husband pillow from college in there that had a tear at the seam and he just kept pulling and pulling at it.
This is the first time he's been straight up destructive like that. And, clearly we weren't too mad because I took a picture before we cleaned it up, lol
When I saw it, I asked him what happened and he said, "Mommy, it's snowing!"
H and I tried to hide our amusement and then made him clean it up and take it to the trash

H and I got a lot done this weekend. We went and looked at bedding, furniture, tile, and cleaned out the garage. I'm pretty excited about our purge progress. We won't be packing up things we're not using anymore.
We've had the hardest time finding a dining room table we both like. We ended up going to an Amish furniture store Saturday and found one we love. They custom build and stain the table for you, and will also build a custom bench to match. So we have to order it, and then it's a 10-12 week wait. I feel so grown-up buying REAL furniture instead of Ikea furniture, LOL. It will also be kind of cool to have something made from the midwest in our house.
I found one of my all-time favorite childhood books while cleaning the garage yesterday: Danny the Champion of the World. I plan on reading it this week.
When H and I were at BB&B, I saw this Breville One Touch Tea Maker.
Ohmygah. I wish I didn't know it existed. It brews the tea on the exact temperature based on type, steeps depending on how strong you want the tea, and keeps it warm. You can even set it up so you can put everything in the night before, and it will make it in the morning. Like coffee! I suggested to my H it might be a good birthday gift, heh.
I'm having a really hard time getting motivated at work since I was told I'm getting laid off. I'm supposed to be devoting all of my time to writing a grant under which I was previously told I would be covered. Now, nope. So I'm essentially writing all of my work into it for someone else - someone who has been here at least 2 years fewer than me - can do. I'm so freaking pissed and just can't get past it.

Next Saturday my H and I are going out together. Since my SIL that lives out of the state will be in for the family pic with her H and kids, it was decided that we would go out with them and other SIL and her BF for the night and my nephew will watch J and all of the cousins will hang out together.
I haven't had a night out with my H since J was born 5 years ago. We don't ever have a sitter. I'm excited.
I'm miserable. I know worse things happen to people than having some crap stolen from your house, but I can't shake this off. I feel like crying, at any point, like we fucked up buying our house in this place and feel trapped with no place better to move. Like we failed at providing a safe home for our son.
Also I feel like the police are barely doing anything, which fucking sucks because we know who it is that did this. And still nobody's taken a god damn fingerprint or made an arrest. what the mother fucking fuck
ETA: and its my birthday today. which is only depressing me even more.
It's a violation. I would feel the same way. Hugs...

I think they are going to retest N's range of motion tomorrow at PT. I'm so nervous. I'm scared that I'm not doing enough at home with her and that if she ends up in braces/casts it's going to be my fault.
My period is going to start any second now and I'm crazy mad and ready to cry but I have no idea why.
It's 9:30 in the morning and I would kill for a stiff drink.
Hugs....
Whatever happens you will feel like you could have done more. Don't do that to yourself.

It would be do hard to keep going back there and working. I give you tons of credit.

I'm keeping my eye on the unemployment "prize". If I leave now, they won't have to pay me a dime while I look for a new job.
It's hard not being stabby, and I'm not always doing a very good job of keeping my bitterness in check, but I'm trying.
We're getting rid of one teenager (she's going off to college) and gaining another in our household. Last night, we officially let little BIL's 16 year old friend move in with us.
His family was just evicted or forclosed on. He's #8 (or 7?) out of 16 kids. The 5 youngest, all under 10, are with the mother at a family member's house. The older ones have all split up and are staying with friends. It's so sad.
@utahlove13, what does your employee handbook say about working from home for medical reasons?
I'm sorry you're in so much pain
Nothing. lol. We don't even have a printed employee handbook available, it's all online in different places on the intranet. Unofficially, it's at manager's discretion but since this is a medical issue, my manager has passed all responsibility to HR, which I get. There are several people (not in my department) in this office that work from home frequently, so it's really frustrating to have to fight tooth and nail to get one small concession.
The HR person implied that diabetes isn't a disability and that I really don't have a medical need but they'd wait until my doctor wrote a more detailed note.
I just made the best sandwich. Over easy egg, spicy Morningstar "sausage" patty, laughing cow French onion cheese and smoked paprika on an English muffin.
And now I am back in bed, because I'm on vacation, and I can.

I'm sorry Ruby. I think it's good to keep in mind that HR is not automatically going to understand your need. Many people (myself included) would probably think one with diabetes would not have to work at home. Obviously yours is a different case, and it sounds like they need more information.
I also agree with nama that you need to pull it together. If you are in so much pain that you are crying on the floor, maybe it would have been best to call in sick.
Ruby you know I <3 you and feel badly that your diabetes/pregnancy are going poorly right now but surely you recognize that crying on the floor at work is unprofessional?
Did your h get the job that would allow you to SAH?
No, you're right. I know that it was and believe me I feel pretty stupid for acting that way. I've just had a crappy morning dealing with doctors and HR that I really didn't have any patience left and I just lost my cool. Which rarely happens.
Yes, he did get the job! And his current employer is going to let him stay on PT until he finishes his training, so I just have to stick it out here until a. he goes FT in 90 days or b. the baby comes. or c. until I get my ass fired for being an emotional wreck. lol.
AutumnRose25 and pantsparty It was unprofessional and I know that. This is honestly the first time I have ever cried on the job anywhere ever. I always have much more control over my emotions at work. It's just so frustrating meeting wall after wall after wall and feeling completely helpless.
I am taking PTO as needed but it sucks taking that PTO for an issue I'm protected for under the ADA. Oh well. I just need to suck it up and get on with it. This stress isn't good for me or the baby, and I know that.
@missusbee, I didn't get a chance to respond to your previous posts, but I am so sorry you are going through this. My sister and her H had their home broken into last spring, while they were sleeping and she was pregnant with her first baby, and it took them both a long time (plus a new dog and security system) to stop having nightmares and feel comfortable again.
I hope they're able to make an arrest soon. Big hugs.
