I bolted straight up in bed at 4 am and realized I left a bin full of customer returns in the hallway of our building at 10 am yesterday, I feel so sick because it's over $50k of product that needs to be credited to customer accounts. There is a good possibility that it was thrown out but maybe not and there is no one I can call until 8:00 to find out if they are there. Instead of waiting, I'm making the 45 minute drive to be there at 7:30 when the building opens (I don't work in the building, I was just there picking up-dropping off stuff.)
I'm praying the janitor didn't throw it all out!!!

Today is DS's 2nd birthday, and he's still asleep at almost 7:30. He hasn't slept past 6:30 pretty much ever. I really hope we all have a good day today. He's been a bit of a bear lately. I'm really looking forward to our day. DH took off, so the 3 of us are hanging out all day. Our neighbors are coming over for pizza and cake tonight. Good luck to your H squirrelymom Good luck with wok kayakjenn
I get annoyed when people complain that it's boring here. If you're bored, you're obviously not bringing the drama, either. So what are you complaining about?

Going to wrangle my 3 kids into my classroom and try to get it ready for my students. This could go either way.
And why, oh why do they give me multiple kids who can only function 1:1 and give me no aide. I'm 1. They are 22. There's no 1:1 going on here. I'm pretty tired of being overloaded past the chance of success. I'm good but nobody is that good.
I have to leave for a work conference this afternoon and I'm having anxiety about it. The conference will be fine, no worries there (albeit a little boring).
But Hart has been a major pill this week, so I hate to leave H alone to deal with that. And money is crazy tight this week thanks to vacation and a busted a/c unit. The thought of having to spend money on gas and food down there (I mean, I'll get reimbursed, but still...). Ugh, I hate that feeling. And I hate to break out the credit cards, but it looks like we'll have to on this one.

I stayed up WAY too late last night. I had coffee with my BFF at 9pm. Then I got home at midnight and was wired so I was catching up on my DVR shows. At 2am my H came out into the family room and wanted some.
3 of my coworkers birhtdays are within the next week. So to celebrate my boss suggested we all go out to lunch together today. Great idea! Except now everyone is complaining about where to go, or should we get delivery. No one can agree on a place...I'm staying out of it there is a whole chain email going around about it and I think we're minutes away from canceling the entire thing.
SUCH a difference a day makes. Leo slept in until 6:15 and was so HAPPY. If he wakes up before 6 am it is just baaaad news. Yesterday was a disaster of a day from start to finish.
We went school supply shopping last night. Spent over $100 and we still have 2 kids to shop for because they don't get their lists until the first week of school. This time of year is so hard on my wallet.
I'm so nervous about my interview this afternoon! It's also all I can think about which is making it hard to do actual work here. I'm so miserable here and am just daydreaming about getting to turn in my notice.
M made me promise her dinner at the pool tonight. We haven't been in a couple weeks because weather has been crappy and we've been so busy.
Also Jack loved 1st grade. We had to fill out a get to know you sheet on him with really funny open ended questions like "My child is frustrated when" My child struggles with" and it was funny to fill it out last night. It actually was helpful to sit down and think about what truly frustrates Jack and what he really excels at.
I've been taking DS to the park for an hour every day after work. He's so much nicer, no more hitting, longer naps, listening better, tantrums are down 90% but he is also waking up every night at 1 am. Ugh.
When my depression got really bad I quit following the news because it was so depressing. Now I'm pretty uninformed. I've got the news going again so hopefully I can catch up on the world.
ETA nope. Apparently the local news wants to show viral videos and not report on Ferguson at all. A guy flipped from his motorcycle to the top of an SUR and car surfed. Also a rat charged and bit a guy in the NY subway.

I'm going to H's work event tonight. I have so much anxiety over meeting people and them asking what I do. I work in retail. It's such an awkward conversation to have with someone with a career. Their eyes always get really big and they say "OH! Yes, I love that store!"
I get annoyed when people complain that it's boring here. If you're bored, you're obviously not bringing the drama, either. So what are you complaining about?
It IS boring here, though. I'm not sure why I need to manufacture drama in my own life just because I openly enjoy watching the drama of others.
I don't complain about it, though. I just stay away. Which is getting easier and easier these days.
I wonder if this is the difference between old ML and new ML. I don't expect this place to be a source of drama. It's just a place to hang out.
And seriously, how high are your drama expectations? I feel like we have at least one "dramatic" post per week. Maybe more? What does it need to be for you to deign visiting regularly? Daily? I need a break from the drama to be productive.
Also when we moved in, the garage door opener broke. The landlord said they would fix it but they had to shell out a bunch to fix a roof leak and do work on the furnace so this took a back seat. We are a on the neighborhood block watch page and a lot of garages are getting broken into. Last night a bunch of houses a block away were hit. I'm nervous. I emailed DH to see if he can do anything as a temporary fix. If not I'll hit up the landlord again.
I noticed that ours is the only house on the block without an alarm system sign in the front.
Good for you! Are you feeling better? Is the worst wearing off, at least?
Thanks! Yeah, I'm actually feeling great! I'm still using the nicotine spray, but less frequently. I still get cravings at night, but I can fight them.
It feels surreal that I haven't had a cigarette in 11 days. I didn't think I was strong enough to quit.

I left my schoolbag at home. Last day of class. FUCK IT, I don't have to teach again...til Monday. Hell, at least the semesters at my two schools don't overlap this year, I'll take it.
I'm going to DC to eat gelato and look at art with zoidberg this weekend! SO EXCITED. And hopefully getting a little LLL action in there too
