I'm subbing a hot class tonight and this group intimidates me. They are sooooo snobby and picky about what they like so I always panic before I sub for them :-(
It's going to be a long night. The hospital called me and asked if I could be a sitter on a med surg floor tonight. They offered time and a half, which is really hard to turn down for doing twelve hours of nothing. I was up with the baby all day though. I will regret this decision around 4 am.
I just ordered my first RTR dress. It's for a charity thing. I spent/wasted waaay too much time reading the reviews and pondering sizes, but I am excited about it. Sorry if huge and wonky.
Kids are annoying sometimes. They were hanging out with me In the kitchen while I was cleaning out cupboards and they were peacefully eating a pomeganate. Fine. I turned my back for maybe 2 minutes and I turned around to see sofia stomping pomegranate seeds all over my clean floor. Why? What's the point of this? Ugh.
I had an interview for an amazing job today. We've been exploring opportunities to relocate because the job market for my field is pretty sparse here, but it's close to home. Like, 25 minutes from my house. It would be amazing if I got the job, omg.
I really think I nailed the interview. I'm sure they have a lot of applicants, so I'm not holding my breath, but I feel really good about how I did. I was relaxed, was very happy with my portfolio, and spoke articulately. I just felt so comfortable. I should find out in 1-2 weeks.
I've been preparing for it ALL week, and I'm so happy that I can sit on my ass tonight and do NOTHING except read and drink wine.
Oh, and @cse1960, I was the one who asked for interview advice in your AMA thread. And thanks to you, I am now enjoying my clean car, almost-full tank of gas, and organized purse. And mints. lol.

It's TOO COLD here now. We have a freeze warning tomorrow and I had to go downstairs and root around for a coat to wear to work because I've just been getting by with wearing a sweater and walking quickly inside lol.
The kids had a blast ToTing tonight. We went to the most popular ToT street and the kids were able to fill their buckets in our one allotted hour. pantsparty
Not a teal pumpkin in sight. I'm about to check their buckets for razor blades.
I am so happy to be home after being OOT for most of the week.
DD informed us at dinner that while Halloween costumes are not allowed tomorrow, they are supposed to dress up as characters from books they've read at school. Now, DH and I are a little skeptical because her teacher is really good at communicating stuff like this, but just in case, we pulled out an aqua dress, black leggings, and I'm taping big eyes onto a headband and making a bird beak so she can be the Mo Willems bird if it's true. Sigh.

I got a check for my 5 year service anniversary with my company. After taxes it was $63.47. Gee thanks guys. I bought a pair of jeans with it.
DS is in bed all slathered with nystatin. Please let this clear up his butt a considerable amount by morning so he can go to daycare. I can't handle another day working and having him at the same time.
I almost sent beer in J's backpack to his MDO Halloween party (which is at a Baptist church.)
Before anyone calls CPS, it was in there because I grabbed it from my ILs last night (for my DH) and had my hands full so I just threw it in his backpack so I could transport it easier. Thank goodness I found it this morning.
I am a school social worker and we recently had a kid show up to school with a half bottle of vodka-lipstick marks around the rim-in his backpack. Mom claimed they just were cleaning out the car and threw some stuff in his backpack.
I was offered a job today (without technically applying)! I was just promoted, and now our corporate office is filling a role very similar to my old job, in a department I would love to be a part of. It's a step back a bit in seniority, but an increase in pay over my new job's pay. And they told me that they would guarantee promotion to my desired job in the department in a year()if I don't suck).
No interview needed, and they will make a formal offer if I want to move forward.
I told my boss that this was offered and he is super supportive - he knows it is the best way to get to my dream job, which he can't offer right now. And he's promised that if it doesn't meet my expectations, he'll find a way to bring me back to our team.
I am terrified at leaving our team, and at taking a bit of a step back. But love the team I'd be joining and am seriously considering making the leap...
They have decided to shift my work schedule from 1st shift to 3rd. I am not amused.
Ugh what!? That sucks
I still haven't made up my mind about it, but I think I am ok with it. I have worked 3rd shift before with a prior job. The worst part- by far- is the fact that I will be losing my whole team. When I sat them down to tell them about the change, none of them appeared to either want to do it or have the ability to do it. Yay for working retail in the 4th quarter, going into our busiest time and losing my entire team! :Y: /end sarcasm

MOTY checking in. Dd has been a handful tonight. She is excited for tomorrow and she missed recess today due to weather. She has not listened very well. I yelled "little girls who do not listen will not get to go ToT!" I know her behavior is on track for everything going on, but damn it was annoying.

I thought TOT was tomorrow, turns out it was tonight. I realized this before it started do I turned of my porch lights and all the lights in the front of my house. I thought this was the universal symbol for "I'm not passing out candy". Wrong, my bell has been ringing all night. I was really glad when 8 rolled around.

The exact same phrase may have been uttered in my house tonight.
I ordered new glasses on Monday, and even though I was told it would take 7-10 days, I am annoyed that I do not have them yet.
Waiting sucks. I applied for a new job last week, and I've gotten confirmation that they received my cover letter, but I am soooooooo antsy about whether or not I'll get an interview. They are accepting applications until 5 pm tomorrow, so I didn't really expect to hear more this week. But I WANT to.
I am irrationally irritated that my kid hasn't lost a tooth yet. I thought it would happen last year, nope. Still not so much as a wiggle.
Humph! I want to play tooth fairy!
Mine either. She is 7. She has a lot of issues going on under her gums. I keep begging for one to fall out. I do not want to have one pulled to make the rest move. She goes back to the orthodontist in Jan.

Good luck! I don't think DD has any issues. Her teeth are just stubborn like she is!
