We are currently trying to find a way with our schedules to get one in. The thing is, I am in an inbound call center and cannot get time off the phones to interview without arising suspicion and she only has certain times of day ....

I wish I had teh balls to get bangs. My forehead feels large, but I don't know about the commitment. I've also stopped dying my hair, so I worry that most of my little short weird looking grey hairs will end up being the bangs.
I'm really loving this 5-12:30 work day. We've been interviewing sitters to help us out with Em, since we don't have a daycare spot yet, and one of them turned me down after meeting me, Tuesday. I feel rejected! I didn't think to ask why, I was kind of stunned. I'm going to tell myself it was pay-related.
Husband is possibly meeting up with a group of guys at the brewery tonight, I introduced myself to a small group of runners at the park and they said I could join their club and then C got to talking with the menfolk and they invited him to their weekly gathering. I really hope it works out, he needs to meet some people!
Got our gym all set up earlier in the week - I haven't lifted weights in a little over a month, and I'm hurting today! I think I'd like to not move.

That's a tough situation to be in! Would it be worth taking some PTO to get it in?

Good Morning says Uncle Grandpa. I think I might change my screen name to that. Ha.
I have a minute or two before taking Tman to school. Normally, I would spend this time doing housework, but since James is sleeping, I can't make the noise. So, my house is getting gross and I'm sitting around doing nothing.
Tman has no school tomorrow, so it's like our Friday. SWEET.
ETA: I got shipment notification for my bag and Tman's M&Ms. Exciting!
@uwhuskygirl you know the rules... PIP those new hairs!
Yay Thursday. It's going to be busy. Hoping to fit in a run. We have church small group turned wine group tonight. It's day 28 of my whole 30 so I have to watch everyone drink. It will be fun to hang out and see everyone though.
Good morning. I'm back from Puerto Vallarta, I never wanted to come back everrrr. Seriously just wanted to live there. We ate a lot, slept, got lots of sun, went to town for shopping and sight seeing and just hung out. Definitely a great babymoon. There was a show every night at our resort, there were lots of activities and stuff too.
We had a fiasco on the way home. Long story short, we had a layover that was cutting it close, then when we landed and got to the gate they wouldn't let us off the plane, then customs took forever (poorly run, extremely inefficient), then having to recheck bags, security, and running through the terminal for our gate to get changed, we missed our flight by like 10 minutes. Stayed overnight in Phoenix, and flew standby home yesterday.
I'm back to work, but ready for a three day weekend. I've already finished unpacking but need to finish laundry. Then it will be nesting time.

@uwhuskygirl - I wanna see new hair pics! minion - Do you mind sharing which resort you stayed at? Was it AI? I'm hoping to convince H we need to do a trip to Mexico at an AI resort...I've always wanted to do it. Plus, Costco travel has some great deals on trips.
Not a whole lot going on, just work today and maybe going to wash my car tonight.

It's opening day for the Bellevue Thursday farmers market so bkb and I are going to the park this morning and going to that this afternoon.
Her check up yesterday went great. She's still fine. No answers. So we have to wait for children's, but they are preparing us to not get any answers because it's actually not uncommon for kids to have seizures. Doc said there are studies out there about seizures in stages of sleep like going to sleep or waking up such as bkb was, so I will probably look some of those up.

I'm glad that she seems to be doing fine, and that they don't think that you need to be worried!

karebear219 - glad bkb seems to be feeling better! I'm sure it's hard to not have answers, but reassuring to hear this isn't uncommon.
Not an exciting day here. At work, then picking the kids up from Boys & Girls Club to take P to lacrosse practice. Pizzas on the grill for dinner tonight.
I will say I've been going to PT for the past few weeks for my back/glute issue and is has made a world of difference. Not totally pain free, but much greater mobility and minimal pain. I even ran a bit on Monday when I was in Montana!
karebear219 I didn't realize that market opened today! I'm eagerly waiting on the Wednesday market to open in a couple weeks. Maybe the bellevue one can tide me over. Also, glad to hear bkb is doing ok at this point
minion my H just had the same experience with customs in PHX coming home from Cancun. Thankfully he had a long layover and was able to make his flight but said the whole thing was a mess. Sorry you got stuck in that.

Doctor's appointment that happens to coincide with her open time frame to call?

We have a time on the books today after I get off thankfully, but I may need to scoot out the door a minute or so early.
hey all! so ready for this week to be over. Back to work after vacation weeks can suck my balls.
Good stuff happening on the work front, so loving that. We have a consultation w/ an interior designer Saturday morning to re-do our bedroom - it's in need of an overhaul! can't wait to see what she says.
Aw, thanks for asking @uwhuskygirl. I swear, I am SO TIRED of feeling like a senior citizen with all my constant pains, injuries, and aches. I also get grumpy when older people tell me "just wait until you get old" and I'm like "BITCHES: I HAD ARTHRITIS AT AGE 8! I *KNOW* what it's like!"
Got home yesterday and laid on the floor with no pants in the bedroom because it was a sunspot and read my book. Finished the second Mistborn book (thanks for the loan @aellasbeth!). Had dinner and then tried working on my slide presentation but didn't get anywhere really. Tonight SOMEONE needs to go to the grocery store so probably be me as I make H do too much stuff. Then I'll attempt more homework progress.
Last night, I swore it was Thursday. Today sucks because it FEELs like Friday but nope nope, one more day, sigh.

@ktsa I have asked "what day of the week is it?" and meant it waaaaay to often lately.
Hi everyone! I keep hitting moments at work where I wonder "I know we all say that what we're doing is a crazy idea, but we're doing it anyway. Does anyone realize just how crazy it is! HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU!". Also, mancolds.
On the plus side, I've been able to get to the gym a lot for the first time in a while.

you are welcome.. i have a whole library of similar genre if you need a rec or a loan!
I had to get our big grocery trip done today so our fridge looks like we actually do eat. Now I am just trying to clean up a little since my dad is coming to watch the girls for all of 30 minutes between when I need to leave for my stress test and when H actually gets home. My big FWP for today is I need to wash my hair but I do not want to go to my apt with wet hair, which means having to blow dry it all. That is such a timely task and I don't want to do it. But that could be the difference of a pound or so when I get weighed. Like I said FWP lol.
I wish it were Friday. but I'm slogging through. I made a maybe foolish choice today - I'm going ahead with an FHA refi on our house. I'm just so damn tired of all of it. There's so many details that it's just exhausting. Bottom line - we'll lower our interest to 4.25% (from 7.5%) but we will have to pay mort insurance now. And we have to button up some of the projects we have going on in the house. So if anyone feels like coming and doing some sheet rock & mudding, painting, or installing flooring...that's what I'll be doing all weekend long. Go me. @#$#@$^@#$% And we will probaby refi again in Dec or January depending on rates in order to drop the mort insurance. Thank you everyone who walked away from their homes because you didn't feel like paying anymore (sorry to anyone who was truly in a rough spot - you're forgiven. But to those of you who just stopped paying because you're irresponsible FUCKTARDS - FUCKYOUTOTHEMOONANDBACK). phew.
We also have a big car show to get ready for on Monday - no rest for the weary. So if anyone is in Everett on monday and you like old cars - there's always 700-900 beautiful cars lining the streets of downtown Everett. I'll be there on the corner of Colby and Everett with a booth for DH's shop - stop and introduce yourself (if we haven't met already!). We'll have 3 or 4 cars out there that we've restored...or are in the process of restoring! It's fun, mostly. But it's a lot of work too.
see now i almost wish i was working monday because i work on Colby

This makes me feel so much better. It was an absolute shit show.
