My friend and I successfully watched the entirety of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt within a timespan of about 38 hours.
Now I am on my way to the airport.
I am looking forward to getting back to my routine and the SoCal weather. But i have a bad case of house envy from being in LCOL Atlanta for a week. Damn.
ugh, I had a bad meeting with my boss this morning. I'm not even working right now (I'm off for summer). I came in to discuss some plans for next year and she lost it on me (yelling without actually yelling). I'm sooooo glad that I decided to dress up a little rather than slump in wearing summer clothes. I was able to hold it together and stay professional and firm without giving into the tears that were threatening. It was all over my hours and, as an underpaid professional who only does this job for the work/life balance, I will go to bat for my 7.5 hour days. I consider it part of the agreement (and the previous boss who hired me and I actually did have an agreement--it was part of our negotiations on salary) because I'm paid at least 20% less than what I'd be making at a traditional 9-5, no summers off kind of job. I don't even get it either because I totally was agreeing to the hours she wanted and I might have made a comment like, "Oh that will work well for our daycare schedule" and at one point she was like, "I don't care what works for your family!" which is fine, I guess, but seemed unnecessarily mean. There was more. It wasn't very kind or professional. After she finished, she immediately apologized, told me that I was absolutely meeting all expectations, gave me a hug and was near tears, claiming that she was just so overworked. Ugh. I think I might need to look for a new job.
DD repeated me this morning when I called our dog "you fucker" for pulling our curtain rod almost entirely out of the wall. It was kind of adorable at the time, but I hope she doesn't say it at daycare.
The nanny who canceled on us three days before her start date via text message is none too happy with the review we left her on Care.com. She wrote a looong response on Care full of fiction and sent me a long text message about 'her attorney' and 'slander'. Umm, okay little lady, you have that 'attorney' of yours gimme a call and we'll sort this right out. Lolz.
Stay strong! Don't pull that review down! I remember your OP, that woman is a super flake, and reviews like yours are the only way other moms won't get burned the same way you did.
I got a (very used/faded) double BOB on a FB garage sale group for $25!!! I am picking it up tonight and am excited. Hopefully it's not in too bad of shape, but I'm not sure what to expect for $25.
DS was whining "I so hungryyyy!" I pointed out his afternoon snack, a banana, on the side table 3 feet away. He says "I can't reach, I too busy with Legos." FWP dude.
Do cordless/wireless lamps exist? I can find...one. lol. I really want a lamp for the end table in our living room, but the table is in the middle of the room basically so I don't want a cord running across half the room.
I'm doing better today! E is feeding without screaming. And I saw my therapist.
Bs first word upon waking were "cat poop" though so I guess he's still traumatized that we yelled at him last night.
So glad that today was better for you. And meh? You can't traumatized them that easy. He probably just thinks it's funny he touched cat poop or that he got a big reaction.
