Friday Friday Gotta Get Down on Friday

[FastHands]

You're welcome for the Rebecca Black.

It's our last packing day!!!! WOOOOO.
And I just replaced a sink and faucet like a boss. In 10 minutes I can turn on the water and pray there are no leaks, or else I'll start cursing like a sailor with a stubbed toe.

Then it's time for last-pass packing aka throw every fucking thing in a few boxes of random shit. Lol

I'm so ready to get the fuck out of here.

Happy Friday!!

I am beat. Yesterday was DS's pre-k "graduation" and then a mom of one his classmates threw a big, end of year bowing party. Tons of 4 and 5 year olds hopped up on sugar for 2.5 hours. I was ready for bed at 6.

This is one of my last weekends without a job and it's so bittersweet. H and I are surprising DS with an overnight trip to the shore Sunday into Monday. It's supposed to be gorgeous and I am looking forward to sitting on the beach.

[Jalapeñomel]

Yes!!! Congratulations! I'm jealous!


Although I did received a closing date of June 23rd today. OMG. 23 days after the contract date, but at least I don't have to find a place to live in July!

I was in a wreck a on May 6th, and I'll finally get my car back today. Probably.

Also, I was cited for the wreck and required to go to court, but the officer talked to the judge before we ever saw him and already had it dropped to a warning.

So today MUST bean awesome day. I need one of those!!

After a suuuuuper existential and somewhat pointless discussion about whether or not we can feel/are aware of our genitals at any given time, my H got up to let me go to sleep and said "babe, you are the weirdest person I know and I love you so much."

My husband is the BEST.  (heart)

It's gross and rainy this morning. It was fine when Stella and I started our walk but 3/4 of the way through it started pouring so we ran the last half mile or so. I dislike running, but I dislike getting rained on more.

I started weight training with my trainer last night st the gym. I'd told him I want to work on lower rep, heavier weight stuff. I got up to 135 lb on the squat but could only do 1, lol. I'd done 6 at 115, but the extra 20 lbs did me in!

Work sucks, but it's a gorgeous Friday, I'm going to get outside for lunch, and then DH and I are going to a beer festival this evening that's walking distance from home. The weekend will be awesome with sleeping in tomorrow morning, the pool, and getting my hair cut and colored Sunday evening.

Last night was DD's school's STEAM showcase night, and it was so fun! She was giving tours of the gardens the EcoAction club she's in has been working on, plus had art and science projects displayed, and she was just so proud of all of it. Her teacher told me yet again how much she loves having DD in her class, and that DD makes her happy to be a teacher every day. Even DS was cooperative with all of the activities, and insisted on finding the teacher that does childcare during PTA meetings so he could say hi (this past Tuesday evening was the only time he's been there, and he looooved it).

Working at home today and getting some busy work done. It's preschool graduation today, so daycare is closing an hour early. H, MIL, and I are going to take the girls out for dinner - we figure since we will likely be eating at like 5:00, it shouldn't be TOO busy so we won't have to worry as much about keeping the girls perfectly well-behaved. DD1 is fine at restaurants, it's DD2 who, at 15 months, cannot sit still through an entire meal. I'm mostly excited for the wine LOL.

[sawyerthedestroyer]

I took today off because my computer is being repaired and bothering with setting up a backup seemed like way too much work.

I planned on doing laundry and cleaning the house and buying things for H's birthday party later this month, but I've done nothing but sit on the internet and drink coffee.

[TR]

Someone brought bagels into work! This is the best day!

[tigress]

Paid off a credit card today, woohoo! Its had a balance for a ridiculously long time because it has a low interest rate (6%) and we recently buckled down to finally get it paid off. Good feelings!

DS hopefully gets his cast off Wednesday morning. WE ARE SO CLOSE. So close to being done with 6 weeks in an immobilizing cast on a 2.5 year old. He is so stinky I cannot wait.

So I was reading an article about Emmanuel Macron, the new French president. The article mentioned his "much older wife" so I googled her. She's 25 years older than he is! I was pretty surprised there is that big of a gap. That's pretty rare when the woman is older.

She was actually his teacher and they met when he was her student

We had 3 part time staff in the office yesterday, they're all out today and we're on fumes, good job scheduling. This morning was crazy putting someone on hold to answer another question. Hopefully it calms down, I'm ready for Friday night and the weekend...hoping for some wine drinking and Netflix.

Also I had to tie my sweater around my waist, I feel like I'm in middle school. At least someone gave me the heads up.

[Captain Catnip]

I'm cranky today because I now have extra work because a different department keeps screwing sit up. I have to double check their work.

[tellmesomethingood]

I gave DD melatonin for the first time last night. She slept like a dream. I'm not sure if it was a fluke or what, but thank goodness. We've had so many sleep issues with her the last few months and I have no clue what's up.

[BaliHai]

I'm currently watching old episodes of Glee and attempting to get M to sleep in her bassinet. She will only nap on me during the day, which I don't *totally* mind, but my leave is over in five weeks and they are not going to hold her at daycare for her naps, so I need her to learn to fall asleep elsewhere.

L is moving to the preschool class starting Monday. Between that and her turning 3.5 four days ago, I'm having all kinds of feelings. My baby! ❤

Not sure what we're doing this weekend. It's going to be hot, so I'm considering seeing if we can take the girls to H's parents' place on Sunday so L can swim, but we'll see.

I'm glad it is Friday - I get to spend the weekend in Boston, I'd rather go home and sleep.
Crazy week at work and yesterday someone hacked our mobile account has made my headache even worse.

I got a text about an $11.37 credit to our account from a VS that wasn't one of ours. Several hours later come to find out that someone had ordered 4 new iPhone 7 plus on our account, using what was most likely a stolen credit card. They were being shipped to DH's name but some address in Philly. They'd changed the email address on the account so we weren't getting the notification emails about the activity. Sprint got the shipment stopped and locked our account so we had to make a new login and whatnot. Sprint got all of the upgrades reset so I can get my new phone at some point.

I think I have scabies on my back. Maybe syphilis. PM me your number if you want a pic.

Holy crap! Thank goodness they found it. That's a scary level of hacking

[bbdoll]

I'm nervous. Our office is fairly small. Yesterday, they let three people go. Today, we know of at least one more. We are all walking on eggshells.

[silva]

Vacation starts in 1 hour! Headed to Jackson Hole, WY. I haven't packed a thing. I have so much to do. My mind is not prepared for this at. all. Squirrel!

[themysteriouswife]

We are in negotiations on our house after inspection. I so freaking worked up. I wish buying a house was easier.

[Leeham Rimes]

I ate my weight in caramel M&Ms. I kind of hate myself right now.

But they're delicious, so I'm also kind of not sorry.

I want to watch OITNB today, but I have to parent.

I probably won't be able to stay awake to watch it once the kids are asleep either.

OITNB, Kimmy Schmidt, Sherlock... Netflix is an evil taunting thing. We need to have the whole house packed today so I've been able to resist, but dude. Not easy.

[sewf]

H has to work all day and then work at a fundraiser tonight, so he won't be home in time to see DS before bedtime. We told DS about this this morning, and he got misty eyed. Then he put his hand on H's cheek and said, "It's going to be ok, Dada. Grown ups come back."

So either too much Daniel Tiger, or just the right amount.

It's also why I --for some reason--just can't lose weight. Lol.

I lost interest in kimmy Schmidt after a couple episodes of the current season, I'm not digging it like i was. Boo.
