I just got off work and have 2 nights off- maybe 3 since I requested first call on Wednesday. I'm going to do some Christmas shopping tomorrow so that will be fun.
Flameful @ - I'm selfishly glad a baby in my NICU was transferred to the medical center 2 hours before my shift on Friday because he's not going to make it. I just can't handle that right now. It was a full-term baby with a FREAK thing that happened inside the womb. It's unhealthy how many things I worry about for the peanut. I can't even vent on GP because I don't want to freak out all of the blissfully unaware moms.
I had to take ds with me to the RE this morning for the first time. I felt like an insensitive bitch but had no other choice. He was ok but not amazingly behaved. I'm sure I was all sorts of judged. :/
I'll see you all later this afternoon. We have this INTRA-agency fair. Yup. Your eyes aren't deceiving you...intra. This means we all, as an organization, meet and showcase what we do...to each other. I'm not making this up So instead of getting actual work done...I'll be there the majority of the day
I have a massive to do list today and tomorrow and SO many phone calls to make! (Least favorite thing to do) My H and are running a few errands this afternoon which i'm quite excited about. Low key day for me! I'm also hoping a few of my packages arrive soon. I feel I've been waiting long enough lol!

How sad MrsAggie I don't think I could do your job, especially now. I'm anxious enough about everything and that would only make it a million times worse!
Today begins many months of me complaining about snow. Lol. Schools are closed around here. Why can't my work close? Ever? At least I only drive across town. Blah. I wasn't ready for winter!
I miss you guys jjwritergirl I feel like I don't have much to contribute lately, and Milo still won't nap anywhere other than on me, so I rarely have hands free to type. Blah. I have got to figure out how to get him to sleep!
Now this video is just embarrassing. It features our old building which hadn't been in existence for 3+ years now. And it features photos of employees that have retired or been fired.
I also get ragey about the ergonomics section. Um, those of us poor fucks working out in the field are usually balancing our laptops on an airport lounge chair or in the driver's seat of our cars. There is no proper screen height, wrist support, lumbar support. Just getting shit done, that's what we do.

Will he tolerate a carrier/baby wearing? I'm sorry that you're struggling with getting him to sleep

He loves to be worn, but I only have a wrap right now, and I can't carry him high enough to sit down. He naps for 2-3 hours (when I hold him), so I don't want to commit to standing for that long. But I'm in the process of sewing myself a ring sling, which I can sit in. So hopefully that will be my lifesaver. At least he sleeps okay-ish at night!
@mrsmaggie- ((hugs)) work stuff like that sucks. I did a poisoning in a toddler last week, got into dads meds and I was glad that I was only driving and not the paramedic in the back of the ambulance. I had a huge freak out afterwards. Thankfully the child was ok.
ewall- I hate those type of days, I did part of mine last Thursday. (CPR course, same video since 2010)
katiek- I hope you get a bit of a break soon. ((Hugs))

We are getting pummeled with snow. Lots of anxiety! I'm more worried about the idiots that think they can fly around in this than I am about myself. Hope I don't get stuck anywhere! Anyone want to trade places? Lol
This weekend, H and I hung a bunch of pictures in the apartment. It's nice, it makes it feel more like home, although my main motivation was to get that stuff up and out of the way, less to store in closets! My H is such a perfectionist and measured everything so carefully to make sure things were centered/lined up the way I wanted them. It took several hours, but it was worth it! Here is my gallery wall around my tv:
MrsAggie Your job must be hard to deal with during pregnancy. I went crazy enough when not exposed to the worst case scenarios on a daily basis.
ginkgoleaf Let me know if you want me to watch your son in the future while you go to the RE (hopefully this isn't a creepy offer). I am home during the days. I hope your appointment went well!
katiek You haven't been around much. How are you? I miss you!
Aww that is sweet and not creepy considering I've met you! But the appt was at 7:15 and I think you're about an hour from me.
MrsAggie and awick14 Hugs to you both! I don't know how you do your jobs. I have so much respect for both of you. You are such strong women.
katiek Everytime you post I feel like it is a rare sighting and I get all excited. I hope Milo starts napping without you needing to hold him so you can check in more.
I bought the first part of my SS gift. Woot!
The high is 77* today so I have been running errands trying to get everything I can done. Tomorrow it is only going to get up to 39*. I really need to find my/a coat to be wearing. So far I have found DH's coats but even I just wash up one of his it will be something!

Made it home after spending about 20 minutes or so clearing my car out of a spot. My back is killing me! I'm in PJs already and not going anywhere until Wed morning!
