I got a second job to help pay some bills. It is supposed to be PT but during the orientation period you have to be FT. I go to my regular job at 8, change clothes and leave at 1, start my second job at 2 and get done at 10:30pm. I get home around 11 and go through the kids papers and mail that H leaves out and then sleep. I have barely seen the children for the last month, and I can't force myself to get up early enough in the morning to work out so I've gained 5 lbs.
I woke up at 12:30 because of flashing lights outside my bedroom window. I was freaking out that someone was in my back yard with a flashlight, but I checked and couldn't see anything at all. Then out of the corner of my eye I saw another flash, but again, there was nobody, no cars, nothing. Obviously my only thought at 12:30am was aliens. Turns out it was just a lightning storm, lol.

I'm moving in two hours. it's just a few blocks away but still difficult to leave my home, the only home my son has known. I'm excited to the fresh start for us but sad about leaving all the places where memories were made with my husband.
I have a new "nephew!" My BFF had a baby boy this morning. Tomorrow I'm going to try and meet him, if they're up for visitors, and am meeting another friend's 1.5 week old boy. It's baby season!
This is all dependent on h being able to pick up the kids tomorrow (I've had a hh planned for weeks too). He's been super busy and overwhelmed at work and hasn't been able to stay late because of ds's football schedule (he's the asst coach). But I want to see my friends, dammit! I'm kind of being a whiny baby about it.

I fell asleep on the couch last night after dinner for 2 hrs and it was the best sleep I ever had.
Also, I think my H is using the baby as an alarm clock lol. Every time his alarm goes off in the morning, the baby kicks him like crazy. It has gotten to the point that he doesn't hit snooze so often. I think I would kick him at 5am too if he kept hitting snooze and ruining my sleep.
I ordered a home try on box of bras and one of them is the SUPERBRA. I am SERIOUSLY SO PERKY
yayyyy boobs
What's this now?
True & Co.
This sounds spammy but I really like the company. You fill out a long questionnaire about how your bras fit, and they generate a fit profile and bra recommendations for you. You pick 5, they send them to you to try on, you keep what you like and free return the rest. They are not cheap bras but they run all kinds of sales.
They gave me a referral code, you get $15 off if you use it.
I'm actually having a girls night tonight--which is just going to be dinner with my closest friends. We are leaving our kids with our husbands.
It's been like years. Years people. As far as just me without the kids or DH. Maybe 4 years..? I lost count.
You haven't had a dinner out with friends by yourself in 4 years? But... But.... Why? I love my family, but I love them more when I get some friend time every once and a while! Heh.

Well I get out sometimes by myself to go shopping or run some errands but not too hang out with friends (by myself anyways).
Bad timing I guess. My closest friends have 2-3 kids as well around the same age and it just really hasn't worked out with our schedules or our DH's work schedules. I also work from home so it's not like I'm out there that much and have the opportunity to make new friends. Then there is the majority of my work being done in the evenings when my girls are asleep. Building my business was more important too.

I have had a hell of a morning. I slept wrong and now the left side of my neck hurts, road work started in front of our house that should have been done last week, and I am probably going to have to run home and take me cat to the vet at lunch. He may have been showing signs of being blocked this morning and I know my boss is going to love that. One CW is on vacation, the other is brand new and boss doesn't really know how to do much service work.
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

My son's daycare is set-up like school where once you are 2 you start moving up in classes. Since his birthday just misses the cut-off, he is always the youngest in his class. Anyway, I got the letter yesterday stating that he starts his new class after Labor Day...I cried and I cried this morning after dropping him off. I looked at myself in the car mirror and was like WHO ARE YOU?

I had a conference call go so fantastically shitty last night that I am still angry about it today. Not pissed, straight up angry. I have never been spoken to so poorly in my life and the third party on the call was basically stumped and trying desperately to mediate. My husband looked at me after the call and was like, "Are you sure you can't have a glass of wine?"
And I have to go to a conference with this bitchface next week. Fan-fucking-tastic.

On a related note. I have put myself in a very bad sittuation today. I need to get totally undressed to pee as I am wearing a snug fitting 3/4 sleeve dress and a pair of spanxs with straps. There is no way to pull down the straps without taking the dress off. It took me 10 minutes to pee this morning and my boss was texting " Where are you?" I was not about to explain that one to him.
There's this guy that got accidentally added to the acolyte email list for my church because he has two first names (it's similar to David Michael, only his name is Michael David). Every time a new email gets sent out, he replies all LIVID that he's again received this email. I get that it's annoying, but the people on the email list truly can't do anything about it so I have no idea why he's reply alling.
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!!!

Any update?
Thank you all for your wishes for a good outcome- I'm happy to report they were right where I left them!!!! Lesson well learned to make sure I don't get distracted and put them down again!

I have a random question for all the teachers/day care providers out there.
DD started preschool with before/after care when I started working in Feb. She continued going throughout the summer and tomorrow is her last day in the classroom she started in. She will move to a pre K room on Monday.
I had her pick out 2 thank you cards (one for the teacher and one for the assistant teacher). I bought each teacher a $15 gc to Starbucks. This will be sufficient, right? I don't have the time, desire, or talent to make a pinterest-y present or project but I don't want my kid to be labelled as the one with loser parents either.
I've been working for hours on my classroom. It's so damn messy. I can't wait until it's all put together. I've also been purging things I haven't used in two years, it's a lot.
