Week of 10/1

[luv2rn4fun]

It’s October! What’s everyone up to?

[luv2rn4fun]

We had a really busy/ fun week last week and I thankful this week is much less crazy!

Today: run, bagels/groceries, babysitting friends boys but only for 1/2 day since it’s a Monday and their oldest has preschool (and I can’t drive 4 kids).

Tues: run, park

Weds: run, preschool

Fri: run, preschool, chores

Sat: soccer

Morning yall.

I'm still sick with a cold/sinus infection. And working for 3 days in a row. I'll have a week and a half off though. Except I will be at school for most of that week and a half.

I just want to lay on my couch and watch TV today.

I can't believe it's October, September absolutely flew by!

Busy week here - tomorrow DH & I are going to the Our Lady Peace concert! So excited. His boss got us the tickets (one of the perks of working in the ticketing industry is we don't have to pay for too many tickets) so we just had to pay for parking and a quick dinner before, so it will be a fun and inexpensive date night! My mom is coming to watch the boys.

TTH auction is this week! Which means I have a few busy/stressful days ahead of me getting everything ready but then the actual event is so much fun. Looking forward to it!

R has his music class on Wed, I might see if my mom wants to take him. I am also hoping to get my flu shot when I go to the grocery store.

DH has a huge project at work this week so he's going to be working extra/be extra stressed. Yay lol.

I can’t believe it’s October! It doesn’t feel like fall here at all so it’s weird. DH and I are missing the change of seasons. I miss wearing a hoodie lol.

Not much going on this week. Getting back on track for losing weight definitely.

Thursday I have a job interview so I need to work on updating my resume and references.

I need to go to Sam’s Club but H wants to go. I like to get there at 7am but he is so difficult to wake up that early. Maybe we will attempt tomorrow. I still need to meal plan for the week too.

[katespade]

H is on a hunting trip, so I'm just holding down the fort this week. I have a therapy appointment today, but that's the only thing on my schedule.

I'm starting a 90 day challenge today. It's basically a set of 5 daily goals to try and get on a healthier path by the end of the year. They're pretty minor goals in the grand scheme of things, but I've struggled with holding myself accountable to the little things lately, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get back on track.

[estrellita]

Not too much going on this week.

I'm proud of myself for finding the solution to a random computer issue I've been having and our IT guy couldn't fix it. It didn't affect my work, it was just annoying (sometimes the menu options get stuck on my screen and it wouldn't go away without restarting). Kinda fun to teach HIM something!

[awick14]

I also can’t believe that it’s October!

We are starting to get into the groove of dh back to work and figuring out stuff. We bought a chalk board the other day and we will hang it either tomorrow or the next day and hopefully it will help with writing notes back and forth when we miss each other.

This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving so we are going back to our home town. 🙂

We leave for vacation on Sunday. First vacation since the girls were born! We are driving a couple hours away and staying in a cabin at a state park. I'm 90% looking forward to it.  


DH is planning to apply for a new job that will be posted on Monday. Same location he is working, different company and position. My head is swirling with possibilities at the moment. I'm excited that he is so excited about the potential.

Have a blast on vacation!! I hope the girls sleep well for you guys and you get to have some adult time when they go to bed!

Wishing you guys all the best with the new job opportunity! Hopefully something with a little more family balance!?! Good luck to your DH! Keep us posted!

Been fighting a head cold since the weekend. It's now progressed to a cough. And A now has the cold part AND is pushing through her last molar.

On good side, H no longer has to work 12+ hour days, AND this weekend is a three day weekend if I can make it to Friday afternoon.

Just working all week. Also have a dentist appointment I think on Thursday?

[bk1]

luv2rn4fun It would be moving to a management position. He seems to think it would give him more work/life balance. Also it wouldn't be as physical of a job which would be a good thing.

[melsamoony]

DS has an ear infection and may need surgery as it appears the hole from his ear tube which is no longer in place didn't close 😣 going for an appt today for more information.

I have a little cold so I have not been very productive while home.

Hoping to get some projects done this weekend.

[wineandcheese]

My interview today didn’t go well. I was fine until I walked into the room and 4 people were staring at me. I do ok on one to one interviews, but 4 made me extremely anxious. Oh well.

[pooh8402]

I'm sorry it didn't go well wineandcheese. Panel interviews make me nervous too. FX it was good enough for them!


I'm so glad I have the next 9 days off from work (even if most of them will be in school). I'm so tired and sick and need some rest. And I had a missed call from them at 5:30 this morning. 😑 Glad I didn't hear it, but I think it woke E up. I'm not scheduled today, I'm not on call, and no I'm not coming in!

[estrellita]

Sorry wineandcheese, interviews like that are so intimidating! I hope it went better than you think it did!

[estrellita]

Cold people.. how do you stay warm? I'm always cold, especially at work. Currently I'm wearing a tank, t shirt, fleece pullover, jacket (like a light one, windbreaker type, fleece lined) and I had a blanket on my lap at my desk. STILL FREEZING. I already attempted to get them to turn the temp up once and was told there wasn't a whole lot they could do because they could only turn it up a tiny bit. We're not allowed to have heated blankets or space heaters. Any thoughts?

[HoneySpider]

Sorry wineandcheese, hopefully it went better than you think.

estrellita I am sweating just reading your description lol. I am so warm blooded.

[estrellita]

HoneySpider I wish I were just a little warm blooded! I just want to be comfortable 😢 lol

[luv2rn4fun]

((Hugs)) wineandcheese. I hope it went better than you feel it did and you get an offer.

estrellita- have you had your thyroid checked? What is the temperature at work? When my thyroid was off I was always cold. It’s 70 in our home and I am in shorts and a tank top. I am envisioning it being 50 degrees at your work with all those clothes on...

I had it checked years ago but honestly it would explain a lot of random issues. I should maybe have it checked again!

ETA oh and it's like 73 (supposedly). So I shouldn't be THAT cold..

[bk1]

wineandcheese I hope it went better then you think. Big hugs.

My dishwasher didn't clean the dishes last night. I'm hoping it was a user error and I just forgot the soap. It's running again now so I'll know soon.

I would have it checked again. I agree...at 73, I wouldn’t be that cold, especially middle of the day. I will usually turn my ceiling fan on low at that temperature and be wearing shorts and a shirt (during nap time...usually it’s warmer downstairs before I turn it on when the boys are awake).

[estrellita]

There's a tropical storm/hurricane scheduled to hit land Tuesday. Where H is going. On Tuesday. Blah. Hopefully it'll stay on course and not directly hit that area but my already high anxiety is 100x higher now.
