squirrelymom that is a problem. I'd be clocking out for lunch and going over there. That's a necessity.
One more day of work, then off for one day. Today is my sixth day in a row. I can do this. Also my husband got the alcohol root beer drink last night. That stuff is delicious.
i didn't like your lack of berries...i liked your RAAAAAAIIISSEE!! woot woot!!
so, both boys are in camp this week. ryan is doing that "kindergarten jumpstart" program at school (we are calling it kindergarten camp so he doesn't know he's startign school early) and jonah is starting robotics camp as the cool kids do.
this could have been a very good, restful week for me, but instead i have my friend's 4yo boy all week. should be interesting

I'd go over on my lunch, too!
We have a braided rug that keeps getting rips in it. I stitch it back together when I get a chance, mainly school breaks. I've been working like the devil on it and every day I think I'll get all the rips done.
SO again, I say to myself, today will be the day!
We are actually home today, except DS, who went golfing with my dad.

I have a snuggle sleepy baby on my chest. I don't want to get up and get me and Lucy ready for the day, damn it!
But! Lucys going to camp this week. I can't wait to get in her room with a giant trash bag and throw. shit. out. Then DH will take a turn organizing all the other stuff. Psyched isn't even the word for it!
jonah and i are going to the rick riordan book signing in fairfax in october. he has literally read everything the man has ever written and is a total superfan. i could kiss him for giving Percy Jackson ADHD. apparently, it's a very common symptom of being a demigod. LOL! j recently looked up from the last book in the third series and asked if his adhd would ever go away. i thought it was going to be this whole frustrated, sad thing when i told him no. instead he said, "good!" and went back to his book.
DS was up at 5:30 I think. Maybe 5. The playground opens in 10 minutes, I'm planning to take him to burn his energy off before it gets too hot and we roast outside.
Maybe he will take a nap? Maybe? Please let him take a nap today.
We went to Taylor Swift Saturday, and she was FANTASTIC! Flame away! I love her!!!!! The best part is, is that I seriously don't think I have ever seen my DD happier! It was the best feeling in the world!

Taking Carter to visit his new elementary school. The principal called and wanted to give him a special tour since we are new to the area and school.
Then I will be taking the boys grocery shopping. I really don't mind this since the grocery stores here have kid drop off area with games and toys. They give you 2 hours to shop too. I look at grocery shopping in a whole different light now. :-)
H has the day off today, & is currently on a 'Great Breakfast Search.' He does this a lot on Mondays, & truly can't understand why I don't want to start my week with a 1,500 calorie breakfast? The thought is sweet, but I'll just stick to my Greek yogurt & granola, thanks. Ugh- I hate that I sound like a food snob!! I promise I'm not! If there is a doughnut among his foraging, you'd better believe I'll be all over that As you can see, the struggle is real, yo.
Today I need to call HR and make sure they're actually going to pay me for the work I'm going to do for them this fall. Then we need to get DS 1 registered for his new school and pick up his supply list and the summer packet for 2nd grade so he can start brushing up on his math skills. If we do all of those things early enough I think we may go do the paddleboats or mini golfing as a reward.
Oh, and I have a random that's making me incredibly happy. One of the main reasons why we decided to make this move now was because I was really fed up and just done with the administration at my old school. The kids were fantastic, and I had a great group of core colleagues I loved, but the principal and two of the assistant principals were driving the whole place into the ground through a combination of negligence and attempts to aggrandize themselves by throwing the faculty under the bus. It was a mess, and I wasn't the only one who resigned--75% of my old department left in the last two years for the same reasons. Well, at the very end of the school year the principal was told he could either retire or be demoted. He took the demotion because that's the sort of person he is. The principal they hired to replace him was just named, and his first act was to remove the two awful assistant principals, both of whom were demoted to middle and elementary school positions. I'm not sorry I left when I did because H needed a major professional change as well, but I am so glad that my old school and students will now finally have a chance to succeed again. Mostly, though, I'm glad that karma is finally hitting those two awful APs in such a visible way. SCHADENFREUDE!
I got the boys down to the beach with H's family Saturday - had a great day Sunday and had to turn around and come home last night I'll go back down there after work Wednesday.
I called H to let him know I made it home and he told me that Hart sprayed cologne in his eyes last night.
I couldn't help but laugh.It's just...typical. But I know that had to hurt like a mo fo.
Let's see what shenanigans this kid gets into today.
I have been FREAKING out all weekend because we discovered my damaged iphone was not backing up to anything. I was scared a year's worth of photos and videos would be lost. This morning we were able to back it up to our desktop. THANK GOD
So PSA everyone, even if you think you are back up to icloud or dropbox actually confirm that it is happening.
And I guess I am upgrading my phone because the screen is shot. I feel like an idiot for breaking a perfectly good phone.
Last week my dumb fuck coworker was watching "Obama is a Muslim" videos. Today he's talking about the phone call he got from a guy with a "black accent."

I decided to have a very small glass of red wine with dinner last night. I was worried it would wreak havoc with my blood sugar, but my 2-hour level was 87. (With GD it needs to be below 120 two hours after meals or below 90 for fasting.)
I got up at 3:15 so I could leave my house by 4 for a flight to Chicago. Generally I would roll out of bed and into the car, but I'm going straight from airport to a full day of training so needed to shower and look presentable before leaving the house. I just landed and am in a cab to the office. It is going to be a very long day and I need more coffee.
Glad my boss gave me this opportunity- it's a big step towards promotion. Wish today and tomorrow weren't going to feel like the longest days ever. I work until 6 tonight, 9-4:30 tomorrow then back to NY on a 7:30 flight.
I'm still kinda pissed at H for something he did last night. This never happens, and I'm sure it's wrapped up in my anxiety over my son leaving tomorrow for a long trip. Or maybe I'm just still genuinely pissed at H. I can't quite unwrap it all yet. Blech.
I'm not dreading work *quite* as much today. Maybe it's because I know my raise takes effect so I feel like it's a little more worth it. lol.
I'm in one of those rare lulls at work which always makes the day drag. And my boss is out of town which makes it hard to keep my ass in my chair for the whole 8 hours.
I'm about a gallon of blackberries short on making my wine. This is a very real problem people. I've got to figure out how to get to the greenhouse I bought some berries from--but they're only open during the day during the week.
We actually got a lot accomplished over the weekend so I'm not starting the week feeling behind already. It feels good.

it's a good Monday! weeeeeeee! I had a nice long weekend that was just lovely, I just have to get through the next 5 days then we're off to the shore for a week (hot) Yay! and it is payroll week for me too but it's quarterly bonus payroll so bring on the $$$ baby <)
A shit stirring friend sent me XH's knit page again. I lol'd at the irony that his Fi wrote that "despite [their] long and complicated history," they're finally getting their "happily ever after"
Bitch, he cheated on me with you and now you're getting my leftovers. Enjoy that.
I started a new job and Saturday was my last training day. I start working overnights tonight so I have been trying to adjust my sleeping schedule. It's 7am and I am trying my hardest not to fall asleep until at least 9am so I won't wake up before 6pm... This is going to be a struggle.
We went to Taylor Swift Saturday, and she was FANTASTIC! Flame away! I love her!!!!! The best part is, is that I seriously don't think I have ever seen my DD happier! It was the best feeling in the world!
my feed was full of TS pics. My daughter wanted to go but I didn't have tickets and wasn't shelling out a small fortune at the last minute.

Are you in MA? I could hear her from my house
We live in RI, but obviously we were at Gillette. This is our third time going, and she literally never disappoints!
