I woke up late, rushed to get ready and hauled ass to get to school in time only to discover that it's some kind of teacher work day and class is cancelled >.<
I should probably check my school email more often.
I have a customer who is a company of 4 people (only one person smaller than my company). But the 4 of them NEVER talk. And I get frantic emails and phone calls from all of them all day long because they never talk. They also have absolutely no idea what’s going on. Case in point: I sent an email to them that said “I made formulations X and Y and shipped them today. The tracking number is 123.” I get a reply, “Please ship formulations X and Y ASAP.” Head, meet wall.
FIL and his wife are watching Andy this weekend while we are at a wedding. I'm working on an email to send him about, well, how to take care of Andy, and I feel stupid writing it. I don't want to come off as this over bearing stressball type, but at the same time, FIL and SMIL live 4 hours away, aren't really involved grandparents, and aren't good about making sure there is food in the house when the 3 of us visit. So.
I feel like I need to say "Andy eats three meals a day plus morning and afternoon snacks". Which is obnoxious to most people, but I can't assume they get that. UGH
Send a couple boxes for crackers or whatever his fav snack is and then just be breezy "Oh I didn't want you to make a special trip to buy more food. These are his faves."
That is always an easy way of saying "Here feed him this" and they won't suspect you are trying to boss them. :-)
I also find grandparents have zero problem pulling out food when there is any sense of issues lol.
I whined about it on SO already, but I found out a bunch of stuff that I didn't know about my stbxh last night. I couldn't sleep last night and just feel so sad, scared, disgusted, and anxious today.

We need to move before the baby arrives. All the plans are in place, just waiting on a confirmation email from ONE GUY giving us the final green light. RESPOND TO OUR EMAIL ALREADY, DAMMIT!
DD1 is sick, day 3 of fever. It's my first time home alone with the 2 kids (DD2 is 3 weeks old). So far so good, but I'm counting down the hours until DH gets home.
I've been awake since 4:30 because I was having awful dreams. I was afraid to go back to sleep because I didn't want to pick the dreams up where I left off when I woke up.
Ds has a rash of some sort. I'm trying to decide if I should give him allergy meds or just wait and see what it does. I showed his daycare teacher today and she asked if he had a sore throat or anything. I said no, he didn't have a fever, didn't complain about it, ate fine, etc. and she said it looks like a rash kids get sometimes when the strep virus is leaving their systems (shout out to @smace for saying this last night!). She is going to keep an eye on it and call me if it gets worse. I think I'll hold off on the allergy meds until I see him tonight.

The office I was moved to last year is so busy that I didn't realize how easy I had it before. They used to have 2 social workers here but due to budget cuts it's all me. I don't know how I can be expected to handle 100+ kids and growing by myself. I'm overwhelmed. It's going to impact my ML and tv time.
WBCIIY: A very beloved Minnesota composer, Stephen Paulus, passed away Sunday @ age 65. It's really sad and the MN musical community is collectively very bummed about this. It's always sad to lose someone SO talented who probably had so much more to give! He had a stroke 1.5 years ago and never recovered.

I cashed in$320 worth of coins at a constant machine and got an Amazon gift code for it (you don't pay a percentage when you do this). I've been on Amazon for two days now and there's NOTHING I WANT. seriously, this has never happened to me before!

Christmas is coming though! you could use it for a gift
I have to put this somewhere because it is irritating the crap out of me...
What is UP with Gap's conversational promo emails? It is so weird. They intentionally put the subject line in all lower case and use phrases like "seriously!?" and "sooooo ready for this". It's fucking weird, Gap. Do you think we aren't on to you? Your sizing sucks, your materials are cheap, and trying to sound like a cool 16 year old girl is not going to change anything! Go back to school.

Gotta love it when you don't know whether to be proud or insulted. Someone sees a picture of our daughter. "How did you two make such a beautiful daughter.?" ummmm...
I turned 40 years old last week which I thought I was okay with but people keep saying "welcome to the club" to me and for some reason that freaks be out.
OMG! I'm so happy! David is getting an award at school on Friday! I am PSYCHED. It's one of five possible ones so I guess I'll find out Friday. He also is getting an award for perfect attendance (which is amazing since we are all usually super sick in the fall).
kaylie and I convinced our Hs to dress up as Harry Potter and Ron Weasley for a Halloween party, and we're going to be Ginny and Hermione. I'm so excited, but I'm annoyed my H is being so grumpy about it. He knows how much I love HP, and I promised if he did it this year I would never ask again. I just wish he would learn one spell, and get into character a little bit.
