Umm that's really fucking weird that those people make snide remarks about you, especially in a passive aggressive way so that you hear it.
I talked myself out of getting up early and running this morning, and I'm beating myself up mentally. I really need to get back into a routine.
I chalk it up to them being young and stupid. Or I avoid. I deleted that part because I just needed to get it out. It doesn't happen a whole ton, but they just hired in a bunch of new young kids and the one made a comment about how I dress to take my dog out.
I can't wait for hard cider from the local farms, fresh cider donuts, apple picking, pumpkins.....can you tell I love it LOL
Yes! It is my favorite season EVER. And we go from super hot to 2 days of fall and right to winter. I'm so excited with the possibility of a longer fall. My husband keeps crushing my excitement by telling me this just means we will have a long winter. (His favorite season)

BF and I are getting into a nice little groove. Too bad I am leaving the end of the month on this temp move. I feel like we hit our stride and I'm the jerk who's all "Exit, stage right".
Also, a former client unexpectedly rang me yesterday to ask if I was interested in another project. I thought he wasn't happy with our first collab since I never heard from him again. Nope, he's just been on tour!
I posted yesterday about DSs afternoon teacher saying he was aggressive (ML consensus was that he's doing normal baby things) I was planning to ask his morning teacher just to be sure but before I could say anything she said "Henry is such a good, sweet boy". I mentioned what afternoon teacher said and morning teacher told me he gets excited with the other babies and can be a little rough but its just excitement and curiosity (taking other babies pacis) so that's good to hear.
Now I'm home sick. I'm going to laze around until noon and then try to WFH from 12-4 so I don't have to use PTO (I can make up the other 4 hours later in the week).
BF texted me frantic this morning. He had to send his passport and some other docs to a lawyer to sort out his severance. He sent it special delivery to be signed for. So he tells me that someone with a sketchy signature, which does not belong to the lawyer, signed for the envelope.
He was freaking out that now someone has his passport and visa and he would have to try to get new ones and someone out there has all his info and he'd have to go to the police.
Turns out he sent it in the wrong kind of envelope and it was returned to Edinburgh.
J and I cannot decide how/when to get married. The only thing we've vetoed is having the reception in the backyard.
We could wait until May and go to Cape May.
We could do it here this fall, and just go out to dinner with our family/closest friends.
We could do it here this fall before a Ravens game, with a tailgate reception. This is the one we'd really like to do, but tickets to the game are like $200 each. Which, I guess not everyone would have to go to the game? But I feel like a dick making people drive all the way to Baltimore if they can't afford tickets to the game. Although we were originally going to ask everyone to go to Cape May, so I guess this is cheaper in comparison?
Can someone just tell me when and where to show up and take care of all the rest? Lol.
squirrelymom, fingers crossed for you. Big time. I'll be holding my breath all day.
Andy slept a little bit better last night and the night before, so that's two nights in a row that he has been OK. H leaves today for a business trip all week. I'm nervous.
I just realized I meant to drop off my co-pay at the PT, but forgot due to illness. I hate them thinking I just skipped out.
I am praying tonight both of my kids will sleep all night and in their own bed. C woke up again last night with a fever (101.6) and ended up in bed with me, poor thing.

We got married in Cape May in May and it was absolutely gorgeous. I don't think you'd regret it if you went that route.

My brother finally moved out of my mom's house, and we're meeting with the realtor this afternoon to get the listing photos done! The house should be on the market by the weekend. I'm relieved, but sad, too. It's the house I grew up in, and it's hard to sell it.
I was trying not to rush Fall this year, but this weather lately - especially in the mornings - has officially won the battle. I'm so ready for sweater weather and all of the things that come with Fall. Favorite season ever.
My sisters are trying to organize a shore day for us for next Friday, but I just remembered I have an ultrasound at 9am. I'm hoping they'll wait for me to get done, but I suspect they'd planned on heading down much earlier.
My old boss that retired last year is throwing a pool party this weekend with lots of other coworkers invited. I just declined because I really don't feel like hanging out with a bunch of coworkers in my swimsuit. I feel bad because I like the old boss and I know my kids would have fun but it's just awkward.
DD, DS and I survived the long weekend/two 9 hour car rides (with my parents) visiting my sister and niece, and I am so, so happy to be at work this morning.
Glutton for punishment that I am, I'm looking at localish long weekend ideas for a short family vacation for Labor Day weekend.
Flameful - I don't find those "nipple beanies" to be cute. Someone on my FB is currently spamming my newsfeed with comments on give-aways for these beanies. I have no desire to see babies in beanies that look like nipples.

I had a job interview on Saturday for a production manager position with a local(ish) publishing company. They said they're looking to fill the position ASAP so the new hire can shadow/train with the current employee before they leave. I'm really hopeful they offer me the spot and that the salary is hefty enough to cover daycare/commuting expenses.
So ready for fall! Last year was the first year in ages that H and I didn't get it together to go apple picking. I'm really ready for a day upstate, outdoors, apple picking, visiting country stores, eating pie and cider donuts.
I promised myself we would start house hunting in the spring. It's now August. We're ready to own a home and get out of the city, but for some reason I'm scared to start the search.
Squirelly, I'm praying for good need for you today! I can't tell if DD needs something in the night, or of she's crying out to make sure I'm still aware of her presence. Lol I have to give a massage tonight. While I'm glad for the extra cash, I hate going in for one appointment.
