I was so excited about my gel manicure until I googled "are gel manicures bad for your nails?" and found out I am RUINING my nail beds and will DEFINITELY be getting finger cancer. So...fuck me.
BF is meeting a friend/coworker this evening to check out the neighborhood country club for a possible corporate membership. Tennis lessons here I come! Also it means I get to order takeout Chinese that BF doesn't like.
Finger cancer? What the whatnow? But yeah, they do weaken your nails. Similar to acrylic, but not as bad IME.
I didn't think I was going to be able to get out of my driveway this morning - and not even, like, at the end, but from where I was parked at the top to begin with. I basically slid into the street at the end, lol. Yay winter.
Daycare was on a two-hour delay this morning, but thankfully today is my late day at work, so I was able to drop L off and get here on time. Her teacher had told her on Monday that if she put her pajamas on inside out, put a spoon under her pillow, and put ice in the toilet before bed, she'd get a snow day the next day, so of course we did all of that on Monday night. I sent her teacher a picture and she forwarded it to the other teachers, so they all made a big fuss about her getting them a snow day when I got her there today. lol. It was really cute.
I was planning on going in late today once I dug out. But DS woke me up at 3:44 because he was sick so instead I'm taking the whole day and kept him home. DD was so excited to take the bus instead of being dropped off. I'm hoping DS falls asleep at some point because I desperately need a nap.

I have my 3rd interview for the promotion im going for today. I know there are 4 people total left in the running, including my arch nemesis who looks a lot like me but is annoyingly perky. I'm nervous, but dressed to impress.
My poor DH is a rock star. 18" of snow with 24" drifts and he's out shoveling our entire driveway. Lesson learned. We are either hiring a plow company or buying a snow blower next winter.
Everything is still closed up here (western CT). It feels like 8 degrees, so I can't even kick the kids outside for long. Daycare tomorrow, no matter what. I am dying for some peace and quiet.
H left this morning for a work conference in Vegas. I am so jealous that he will be in warm weather, and wish I had insisted that DS and I go, too.
Instead, I'm taking a few vacation days to get stuff done around the house, try to catch up on sleep, have some time to myself while DS is at daycare. Schools in our town are canceled again because of the aftermath of the storm, but thankfully daycare just had a 3 hour delay. I just dropped off DS and am now lounging on my bed, thinking about a long hot shower, or maybe a bath!!
I typically don't like to deal with things car related but had such an easy experience this week I'm feeling empowered (LOL). Monday I rammed my mirror in to the side of the garage backing out and I called a place we used previously that day, they ordered the new mirror and it came in the next day and I stopped by for installation on my way home from work. Thankful it was so easy because I was so annoyed at myself for breaking it.
We are trying to be better about meal planning because we save so much money when we do it but I'm feeling uninspired H does the majority of the cooking which is awesome but it also means he shoots down a lot of my plan ideas. Need to get it back rolling!

Today I sign Jackson up for kindergarten. I went at the first time right at 9:30 and I was number 19. They only had one lady and it was taking 20 mins per person. I left and went to my nail appointment where I am now. I will just have to go back at 1:30. Hopefully it is less hectic.
Last night I went out with a guy who possessed 2 bachelors, 2 masters, and 2 doctorates and is a navel officer. While I liked that he had much brains, He made some comments about fat people that I totally disagreed with and flat out told him. (Im a bigger woman) he texted me later and said he enjoyed sparring with me. While I was flattered I'm saying NEXT!
This waking up in the dark sucks.
This was a first date? He has none of those degrees.
Although spending that much time buried in books would explain why he is so lacking in social skills.
My H was in a accident three weeks ago and the adjuster still hasn't gone to look at the car. He was not at fault in the accident and we had basic insurance on the car so we are going through the other guy's insurance. Thing is, we all have the same insurance. Can I call and complain? We have a rental in the meantime but this is getting really old since I can't go forward with getting a new (new/used) car until someone looks at his old car.

Nah, he was one of those geniuses who lacks common sense. He was very well read on most things. We definitely talked about textbooks and stuff but he definitely reminded me of a real life Sheldon..

Yes. Absolutely call your contact-Even if you had different insurance, your company should be your advocate to get things moving.
I decided since I get motion sickness I need to find something to take when I'm fishing in Alaska. We aren't going to be in giant boats, just tiny 2 person ones. I don't want to commit the whole week. Dramamine puts me to sleep, though, so I don't know what else to take though. Any suggestions?
kicks you could try the Pittsburgh method of setting a chair in your spot?
Go to the dr and ask for the patch. I am not sure what the medication is actually called but I just always call it the motion sickness patch. It is a small little circle sticker that goes on your skin, behind your ear. It lasts about 3-4 days so for a weeks vacation I get two and just switch it out half way thru.
I get severe motion sickness on boats, cars, buses...you name it. That patch is a life saver for me and has no side effects.
We got to the end of Charlotte's Web last night. For the last two chapters, I was reading through tears and Henry was sobbing. He cried so hard, I thought he was going to vomit. It was awful and wonderful at the same time.

Ask your doctor for a scopolamine patch. Each patch is good for three days and it doesn't make you as sleepy as Dramamine.

I love this so much! I mean not the vomit part but you know what I mean!
How old was H when you started chapter books with him?
Someone please come kill me. My baby didnt want to nap yesterday then slept 7.5 hours last night but I slept like shit so I'm exhausted. Also i caught a cold. Also I'm peeing out my butt. Please please kill me 😢
Can antibiotics make you throw up? I know lower GI symptoms are common, but this is new. Wondering if I should ask them to call in something different... it was like 90min after I took it, which seems like a long time for nausea/vomiting to kick in.
Augmentin makes me puke if I don't eat a real meal with it.
It's amoxicillin, subbed for augmentin. I actually think that it may have been the flonase that I had used like 15min before. It made me super dizzy yesterday, and I'm betting some dripped into my stomach, and I guess I'm sensitive to it.

We are the only one in our group friends with kids. They cannot get it in their thick skulls we need more than a 24-48 hour notice for invites out. It never fails one of our single male friends will plan something last min, then gets butt hurt we cannot both make it. They also do not understand why H can't randomly drop what he is doing and go to the moves on nights I work. They assume he's free. No ding dong, he's taking care of his kids. Our female friends are a lot better at planning.
Yes, I know my kids are not their problem. I just expect after years of being friends they would understand.
Uuuuggghhh. Saw an email from Nextdoor pop up, someone posted asking if anyone else had lost power. Look at the power company website, and yup, my neighborhood, DD's school, and DS's daycare are all out. Expected repair between 4 and 9pm.
Even better, I'm pretty sure I can't even get into my house. Garage door needs electricity unless the door is detached from the carriage inside, I don't have my front door key, and I didn't take the chain off the front door this morning anyway.
Crap, crap, crap. We're having dinner at a friend's house, so hopefully it's back on before we get home at 7:30. I'm scoping out nearby hotels just in case....

I had my interview. I don't know how I feel about how it went. On 3 separate occasions I was referred to by the wrong name. The name of my arch nemesis (who kinda looks like me but personality wise is the opposite) that also had her interview today. I'm really pissed about that.
Made a doctor appointment for tomorrow afternoon. I really hope it's my gallbladder bc that seems like the easiest and most definitive fix. We'll see. But it was definitely time to make an appt because I didn't feel like eating lunch today and that NEVER happens to me, lol.

I'm getting really annoyed with living on a street that's still under construction. I couldn't get in my driveway since a cement truck was pouring a driveway next door.
I was royally screwed by my firm when my eldest was just one week old, so I immediately started looking for something else. Fast forward to 8 1/2+ years later and I'm still at my "new" firm and couldn't be happier. Good luck.

I read Charlottes Web to DD this winter. We had a talk about it beforehand, so she knew but we still cried so hard.
