Today is my first classroom observation. It's my first Writing lesson being observed in 5 years. I've exclusively taught math in the past. It's also my first year co-teaching. I'm nervous as hell!
Good luck squirrelymom I've been training all week at work so my GBCN time has significantly dropped off this week. I hope the training will be much less next week.

Good luck!
I had an amazing interview yesterday. I really hope I hear back from them today. It was, by far, the weirdest interview ever but apparently I did well. I'm just ready to have a closer commute and only have to work one job. The dream!

I should hear back from 2 places I interviewed and demoed for sometime today. I realllllly hope I get these. I really could use them and loved the classes and students!!!! Fingers and toes crossed!!!!
Last night I went to a retirement party with people in my field and I don't even know what to say, it just sucked. I have come to dread any time I spend with other people in this industry.
I was so frustrated after the party last night I came home and ate candy and skinny cow ice cream. Shit, I wasn't hungry, just frustrated.
Today I'm having an uncomfortable conversation with HR about a co-worker who they are trying to transition into part time or retirement and he's so upset it's effecting my territory (he's calling on accounts that belong to me because he feels like he doesn't have enough to do. These accounts are calling me confused about who their rep is.) he's 79, I've known him for almost 20 years and it's tough.

We accidentally got some of the neighbor's mail yesterday -- the neighbor who plays the drums all day and has obnoxiously loud band practice sometimes at night.
He listed himself as "CEO of such and such trio" for his magazine subscription. LOL. It completely made my day. I love that he describes his job as the CEO of this random trio. We Googled their name and absolutely nothing comes up. And the magazine was not even music-related, so why he would put his "title" as part of his address for this makes me LOL too.
I had a dream that my neighbour was keeping all these exotic animals and they escaped and were all over my back yard. Then a cow came charging up my driveway and bite me on the back of the head. Then DD got up at 6:15, ugh I'm tired.
I paid off a big chunk of our cc debt yesterday morning. It felt amazing. Then I went and checked our bank accounts and the account it came out of was almost at zero! After some email searching, it looks like I put a big chunk of money on TWICE. Let this be a lesson: never online bank during 2am nursing sessions : /
I was going to call to try to cancel the payment, but we just moved some stuff around so it'll work until we get H's next freelance payment. So now we are at our lowest amount of cc debt since we got married!

Going to do some shopping today and relax. I worked the last two days. Plus um I'm 99% sure I saw a ML'er but now don't want to be like yeah hi! Noticed you post on ML etc etc. I'm still newb around here and such. Don't want to freak said ML out. Lol
I hate that clothing is all tagless now. I get up before H and 9/10 times I throw my clothes on in the dark. Without the tags I usually end up with something on backward.
I got up a few minutes early and put ingredients for chili in the slow cooker, so we'll have dinner ready when I get home tonight. That, plus the sunny fall weather, is making me so happy. Walking to the train this morning I realized how much happier I feel just living away from the city in a neighborhood where I'll notice the leaves change.
I need to lay off Dr. Google. According to google a bicuspid aortic valve may be contradiction to pregnancy for someone 'like me'. I am devastated beyond belief now and at this point I am hoping my Dr says otherwise but I will not know till Tuesday
Tonight is B's first hip hop class. Last spring she said she was bored with ballet and tap so she wanted to try hip hop. Poor kiddo was so nervous about it this morning. "what if I don't know the moves mom? What if I mess up. Do I know the teacher?" I tried to calm her down a bit but I'm anxious that she'll be anxious all day. lol!
I can't believe it's Thursday already, not that I'm complaining!
L only woke up once last night, at 1:30, and H fed her... which means I slept all night - 10-6:15. It was amazing. I am hoping she's finally gearing up to STTN.
We're going apple picking with friends this weekend, and I'm really looking forward to it.
Baby had a good night! Wouldn't go down in the rock n play, but when I picked him up, he passed out again... so I tried putting him in the swing and it WORKED. 4H of sleep on the couch! He woke up hungry and gassy, but never screamed like the night before. And after 2h of feeding/burping/changing, he went down in the rnp, and I got 2 more hours IN BED. *angels chorus*
I need to be on a webinar for work later, which blows.
Good luck squirrely and all those with job interviews!
Finished packing last night. It is done. Today the truck comes and it all gets loaded. It's also my last day at work. I'm hoping I can scoot out of here early and go help DH clean the house. I mean, they don't pay out vacation days and I have 3 left. The least they can do is give me a couple hours...

Isn't paying out pto required, since it's part of your compensation? Maybe it varies by state or something.

It's legit in NC. I got a fair trade out of the deal. The company purchased study supplies and paid for 2 of the 4 tests for the CPA exam. Since I haven't worked for them for 2 years after passing, I'm technically supposed to pay it back. But since I'm leaving for a spouse relocation and didn't get the chance to finish, they aren't making me pay it back. It comes out to about the same.

Lots of luck, squirrely fam
I have these two girls on my team who, I think, expect to be captains bc they're in eighth grade. But they show NO leadership skills, or team spirit, or, like, a consistent attendance record soooo. And one of these girls is gonna be pissed when she finds out who MY picks are.
I was so mean in practice last night. I love that they have fun in practice, but it was getting to be too much fun and not enough work.
I'm really glad DH has a lot of school work to do. I'm rally in the mood to go to target by myself haha
