I had a phone interview Monday morning and they offered me the position. I'm scrambling around cleaning the house, purging, and packing so we can be in a position to sell and move asap. H doesn't have a set start date for his position until they find someone to replace him in tx, but I'll need to be on mn by the end of August. This is all happening very fast.

I bought my tickets to see Plan B, a reggaeton group I love! The venue is a questionable club (they also hold bikini contests per the sign) but that means more opportunity to maybe meet the artists!
I'm still recovering from being sick, but my boss is awesome and is sending me a stack of papers to read. So I can work from home today, not use leave.
Ughhhhh. We had friends over last night and we drank quite a bit of wine. I have the worst headache. Also, I'm going to be late for work if I don't get moving.
My kid seems to be putting himself back to sleep after he eats in the middle of the night. I thought it might be a fluke, but he's been pretty consistent about it.

My friend from hoop is competing in a pole contest on Friday night and I want to go, but it's waaaaaay past my bedtime. Why can't pole dancing competitions be at like, 4 in the afternoon??
And speaking of hoop, hoop 3 is HARD. Waaaaaaay harder than the lintermediate levels. My back is all scraped and bruised. But I'm excited it's getting more challenging!

When my grandmother died in June, my cousins and I wrote the eulogy and joked that we would start with, "Grandma WTF was a goddamn legend." It's been a running joke with us since then.
Last night, we all got together, and one of our Coke cans said "Share a Coke with a legend."
Maybe it means nothing, but it meant something to us.

Thank you! We're going to try to head up next weekend to house hunt. We have a few friends in the area I could stay with, and the company gives us a nice moving stipend that is meant to help with temporary housing. H really only needs to stay until they fill his position here, but he'll likely be here until we sell. Houses sell quickly here, so I'm hopeful it won't be too long. Unfortunately, the boys will probably stay with him, or we may "divide and conquer" and I'll take the oldest with me. I'm really excited and nervous.
Today is going to be a long day. I can tell already.
I need a raise. Like need. I hope I hear something this week. There has been mention, but quit stringing me along. And it better be worth it. Not like waiting all week for Jared Leto to announce they are doing shows in Los Angeles only. Don't do that to me.
The good/bad part about having friends in HR - layoffs are coming on Friday, with potentially other plans.
HR doesn't even know, and will be sent a file Friday. I'm not nervous that I'll be cut (I work in a niche dept & one of two people that knows the systems really well), but it has the possibility to add more to my already crazy workload.
I dreamt last night that the company was moving everything back to NC & I was so ready to go. It would mess H up with his job, but we'd be able to move back to the house we own instead of renting it out.
I'm pissed at H for something he did on Sunday. We aren't speaking to each other. At all. Its awkward. I hate it. But I did nothing wrong so I'm being stupid and stubborn and headstrong as I feel he needs to make it right.
Today is my last day of vacation and I'm actually ok with that. I spent some quality time with my kids, which was the plan, and my 15 year old didn't even complain about it. My 12 year old loved it. I consider that a win. And I was off the entire time H was home.
Last night DS1 and I were driving home and I got pulled over for speeding. The cop let me go with a warning, which was so cool. I deserved a ticket. DS took pictures of the flashing lights behind us and posted them on Instagram. Thanks kid!!
OMG I never want to move again. I forgot how much I hate this process.
Every time we move I think, "WE ARE NEVER DOING THIS AGAIN." It is the worst. Hugs and drinks, my friend.
:Y: :drink: Thanks! Lol my MIL was over this past weekend helping us pack and she said "when this is over I am buying you a ton of wine" Just another reason I love her
Ugh woke up at 5 with a horrible stomachache/upset stomach. I've been on the couch drifting in and out of sleep. This sucks. I had a dentist apt that I had to cancel because I can't be away from the bathroom for more than 20 minutes

I won tickets to Colbie Calliet on Friday! DD is going to be so excited. I just ordered our dinners for the picnic on the lawn at the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. I'm excited about a night out with her.

I submitted an inquiry about a house on one of the real estate websites last night around 815pm. I immediately got an email from a broker, at 820pm I got a voicemail asking to speak to me about the house then another email after that, I woke up at 630 am and there is a text from the guy. It's a little....intense and seems really unprofessional.

I seriously love all of this.
And I was just about to post my random, which is that I had dreams about my grandma (who passed in May) all night. The last one involved us on a speed boat, and she was driving and floored it so hard that my Uncle (her son-in-law, who was one of the primary people ransacking her home for valuables IRL) fell off the back. I woke up chuckling.

I'm starting to think the universe wants me to make babies RIGHT NOW because I've had to reschedule my birth control appointment like 9 times and today I have to call before I head over because the ob/gyn has a patient in labor so we might have to reschedule it yet again. SUUUUUUUPER

It's been a shitty morning - the stupid fridge people are coming today (supposedly) so we had to take what few things were left in our fridge and put them somewhere, which meant I had to go to the store to buy ice at 5am, then the top of the coffee pot fell off while I was pouring coffee so I burned the shit out of my hand, and THEN DH decided to get pissed because while he told me yesterday "don't worry about me for lunch, I have stuff at work." What he really meant was "You should save something for me because I'm going to bitch about not having lunch and how you don't think about things." So. That's fun.

I've been staying up too late and L has been sleeping extra poorly, so I have been a zombie for about a week now.
I'm glad it's Wednesday already. We have our work BBQ today, so that will be a nice two hour break midday.
I'm trying to convince H to go down the shore with his Dad and Uncles this Saturday, because, if he does, he'll stay overnight at his parents' when they get back. MIL offered to keep L (I am working 12-5), which means I'd have our place to myself. Yessss.
