I just called a company to pay an invoice and I had to be transferred 3 times, then my account manager couldn't find the invoice and asked me to scan it and send it to her. WTH? It is a large global company too. Why do they make it so hard to give them money?
we had a fun morning at the pumpkin patch and DD was tired so is now napping! woo! So rare she naps at home anymore. I was able to finish the budget/spreadsheet for September and get a few other little things done.
I am stressed about work but trying to just put it out of my mind.
I am spending 4 days with my best friends next weekend, can't wait!

I have a CW who just got engaged and I'm over it already. She's all about how everyone is going to make a weekend out of it, and it's not going to just be dancing, and if it rains or snows, people will gladly just sit through the out-door ceremony, and there's going to be a fire pit, and games, and she's apparently going to decorate everything herself day-of (while all the guys set up games), and she's already on her wedding-diet, and she want's to lose X lbs by this date, and another Y lbs right before.
I try to be polite and listen, and I am excited for her (they've been together 5 years), but I don't know if I can take another year of this.

My parents are watching my kids today (no school due to fall break). They live about 35 minutes away, but instead of spending the day at my house/in our 'hood, they picked up the kids, took them to their house, then will drive back with them this afternoon. Sometimes I have to go pick them up, which isn't so bad since they are doing me a favor, but I don't understand why they hate my house so much that they choose to spend all that time driving lol.
I saw in the IL issue thread that two people are having birthday parties on Nov 1st and now I'm wondering if it was a mistake to schedule DD's party for Oct 31st (her actual birthday is earlier that week). But it's too late to change it now, we printed the invites this morning and they went to her whole daycare class. Hopefully some people actually show up.
I'm beginning to seriously wonder if I'll be able to solo parent while in weeks 9-15 of pregnancy. I've been exhausted and pukey and DD woke up THREE TIMES last night needing assistance to fall back asleep. Fuck, kid!
12m well check resulted in another ear infection. This one never goes away completely. An ent referral was sent and we will hopefully get tubes this month if we are lucky
I'm so embarrassed. I picked G up and we went to the new house to kill some time while the inspection was going on at our old house. I pulled into the driveway and freaked out because there was a strange car in the driveway. I called H all panicked.
My husband is working late so we are watching Peter Pan. I am super winning at parenting
DS2 and the baby actually napped at the same time today (actually still are) so I just slept in the couch through all of Peter Pan while DS1 watched it. I remember starting the movie for him, laying down on the couch next to him and then next thing I knew he was waking me up because the movie was over.
I haven't gone grocery shopping in 2.5 weeks and my kids are revolting at the cheese free eggplant parm that I just made with the bottom of the farm basket. I can't blame them. I'd pay someone $50 for a hamburger
The little Halloween treat bags are on sale and free shipping from PBK so I ordered DD one. I hope she likes it! And I ordered her a little petticoat to go under the Cinderella dress I made her so it's extra poofy.
It was one of those perfect autumn days - sunny but crisp and a little cool - and I spent the afternoon sitting on the patio cuddling DS and drinking hot apple cider while DH and DD raked leaves and played in the backyard. I kept looking at the three of them and thinking how this is the little family I've always dreamed of having.

Scintillating shoe update: booties were sold out in my size, which was a sign. Instead I found comfy black ballet flat. Considering I wear ballet flat so often that my previous pair almost has a hole, this seems meant to be.
Also, I can wear them when I fly tomorrow and avoid being the unfashionable jeans+sneakers person lol.
H got a job! And it's for $10k more than he made at the job he lost, better for his resume, and as close as his last job. And he just got an email from a recruiter who wants him to apply for another that is closer and even MORE money!
I went to the dr today after coughing for two months. I got the WEIRDEST diagnosis... GERD. Apparently a chronic cough is a typical but rarely talked about symptom of it. So we'll see if I start to get better after a couple days.
