Anyone want to weigh in on money gifts for a wedding? We're going to one this weekend, good friend of DH's. His second wedding though that doesn't really factor for us (we did do to the first and give a gift).
glitzy07 I'm sorry Can you ask for feedback to understand why?
I did get feedback with the "rejection" and it was completely fair. It said that I have a strong understanding of the merchandising and analytical side of the business but I lack experience in the digital side, which is true. But I've been doing research and learning a ton about it to prepare so I was able to talk to it. I knew that they were looking for someone with experience in both sides, but I at least thought I'd have an opportunity to at least shine in what I know and prove that I'm a good leader and a fast learner who could learn the other side quickly. I'm just so bummed. And I really needed a change to look forward to.

I'm leaving work for 3 hours today to go visit an old coworker and her 2 month old baby. I feel bad but in a way I think if I'm going to take time away from my very busy work day I want it to be with my own baby.
So overwhelmed right now with work and household duties, ugh.
Dh woke up feeling sick today, he is currently sleeping on the couch. (He didn't want to come back to bed after he got up because he doesn't want me to be sick. I'm happy I'm going out of town today for a few days because he will be a grumpy mess the next few days.

Ah that is disappointing. Is there any way you can cross train with the digital side to get the practical experience they are looking for in case something comes along in the future?
DH and I are at the spa for massages. We came early to use their pool. At at 10am I drank a Bellini with gelato in it. It was delicious. I was a bit tipsy since I had no breakfast. And I'm the asshole who keeps texting natariru to tell her how nice it is.
We also went down this awesome water slide. Twice. And it's getting hot again so it's almost time for more drinks and lunch. And more water slide.
raangoli Maybe. But we're a small company and I highly doubt another opportunity will come up in any near future. My only options are likely to look elsewhere to see if I can find something that sounds just as interesting.
DD has been asking we we can "sit on the deck and have drinks" for the last 2 days when I pick her up from daycare. My husband said "What kind of example are we setting for her?" LOL

Hugs to everyone who is having crappy days.
After a string of meh haircuts from the person I've gone to for the last few years, I'm about to make an appointment to try out a new salon. I feel like I'm cheating on someone!
I have not been handling mornings well the last few weeks and DH has been awesome about getting DD breakfast before he leaves for work. Usually she then comes up and hangs out in bed with me. Playing with toys, looking at books, or playing on my phone. I am kind of half awake during it. Today she played in her room and downstairs and let me sleep in til 9:30, it was great. I am being spoiled and having a baby is going to screw it up, lol
I think DS has HFM. He doesn't have a fever and seems to feel more or less ok, but he's rashy and irritable and was wide awake for most of the night. Of course we just moved and I haven't found a new pediatrician yet. I called one that a local friend recommended, and have been waiting for a call back for over an hour. I get it, people are busy, but we're about to run into nap time, and since we were literally awake all night, I am not going to be happy about skipping that.
I think we're about to sell our house. We have an offer and they had their inspections yesterday. I haven't heard anything and I'm starting to go a little nuts, but I assume at this point that no news is good news (we moved out of state so obviously we aren't there anymore). I think we fixed all of the big stuff that we knew about, so hopefully nothing major comes up and we can get this done!
I'm having the best day off ever! My aunt took the kids to the aspca to look at cats. (J kept saying he already has a cat at home, haha) and I'm eating ice cream and enjoying the quiet, empty house
I thought I'd have to wait until my AS to find out (I'm 16 weeks), but the doctor wanted to do an extra ultrasound today, and I asked the tech to check. It was kind of weird finding out without DH (I texted him first to see if he minded), but I'm excited - it will be fun to have two little girls running around.
Damn it...DD4 cried and kept saying she was scared at drop of this morning. Jinx'd it by saying how well it went yesterday.
On a positive note I took all 4 kids to an ice cream shop after school yesterday. A guy had been in there a while and comes over to me and says...you have the best behaved kids I've ever seen. I joked that with 4, it's a necessity. And he says no it shows good parenting. Anyway, I usually get dumb 4 girls, your life is gonna suck type remarks so that was a nice change.

I am having a hard time deciding to shower or not. I am am actually working and the kid has been sleeping well. I don't want to waste my precious time in the shower... but I stink. Ugh.
One month until WDW and our cruise! Also I joined the FB group for our cruise and its pretty much all talk about Fish extenders which we aren't doing. I'm sure its fun but I don't want to spend money on that crap and don't want all the trinkets!
Took DD to the eye dr this AM and she no longer has to patch woo hoo! Dr said to give her something to celebrate and she requested brownies so we will make some tonight.

I'm feeling a little sad that I'm not pregnant (since I would be 8 months PG had the pregnancy stuck), but I know it wasn't the right time. And we would not have done the amazing Spain vacation.
I have a huge pimple on my chin, and its embarrassing.
My Casper bed came in today, and I think I will spend the rest of the day lounging in bed instead of curriculum planning!
