Just got back from DSs appointments. He has actually grown 1 and 3/4 inches since August, so he is almost 5ft2in. Since according to the growth chart he would be still under the projected height (6ft 2in to 5ft 10 in?!) They want to do the test. Waiting for scheduling to call. They said it was good timing if he does have deficiencies because he bone age is 13, 2 yrs behind.


Dh finished the master bath and will move to the hall bath this weekend. I'm going to have to get out of here because he is a talented, yet cranky handyman.

I got a letter from our Attorney General today saying they have contacted ATT. Nice to know they dont ignore the calls.

I had a phone screen for a job that would be perfect for me. In my former industry, 100% virtual with a flexible schedule. It’s also about 1/2 of what I was making, but same level. Because it’s a nonprofit in a very-much-for-profit industry, they are having trouble finding people that will take that $$.

But it sounds awesome to me. I’m supposed to move on to the next round next week. Fingers are crossed.

DD1 had bloodwork for possible PANDAS/PANS. Awaiting the results. It would explain so, so much, but it’s not an easy fix.

Not much going on here. Survived the polar vortex and the snow shoveling injury. Spent some time last weekend getting some vacation and spring shopping done. Pretending it is spring and vacation is my favorite February pastime.

DS started basketball and got a basket! Yay because last year he would cry that he didn't get basket, and he only got 1 or 2 all season. I had to coach him that his strength was defense which was probably a lie last year, but helped his self esteem.

He did dance on the court, so need to work on that. Now he is the biggest, and so he is basically wrapping his arms around the little kids, but not touching them. So we will have to discuss that he needs to put his hands up, not around.


Otherwise just surviving DH's work travel, and random school stuff like 100 day. I bought them the stupid bracelets, and I don't think they wore them, but now every year I can throw them in their backpack and say you have something. And half day today luckily PM K went (that DD is in) because if it doesn't then I have no morning care until 11am because the school doesn't allow the aftercare to start until then.


Sat, I have no DH and 1500 things to do, so that should be fun.

My new second level manager sent out an email yesterday to my work group across the country with my March start date and my background. Within an hour, my inbox was flooded with warm welcomes from my future coworkers. Makes me feel good that I made the right choice to change jobs.

H's new landlord said the current tenant will be out next Friday and he can start moving in Saturday. It can't come soon enough.

DDOT: I needed new tires and I chose the wrong day today since there could be a snow storm tomorrow. 2+ hour wait. But at least I have the time today.

Picked up DD for her broken ankle follow up (healed! Two weeks of PT) and the nurse handed me DS, with a fever. His birthday sleepover is scheduled for Saturday but it’s looking unlikely - if he has no fever tomorrow is it lame to downgrade to a movie and ice cream with his buddies?

Our cap planning shows I am way under resourced. As in, missing multiple people at various points this year. I felt so much better seeing that. Then I came in today and all the work is still there. While it’s nice to know that I’m not insane, cap planning isn’t super valuable until it translates to people. I feel like an idiot for not seeing that clearly yesterday and am totally overwhelmed today.

My mom is officially out of my house and she has furniture that she got a pretty good deal with FB marketplace. Plus the the guy delivered and carried upstairs for her.

My Uncle (31) and wife (27) are going through IVF right now. They did the embryo transfer last Sunday, but we are still waiting to find out if it took or not. I am cautiously optimistic for them, but they should find out Monday or Tuesday.

Owner of our company called me to talk about a project and he told me he sees me taking over the department and I should start thinking about hiring someone to back fill my current role when that happens. He sees my manager retiring. I'm kind of terrified. And also he's told people in the past they'd take over a department and what instead happened was the person he told that to ended up being pushed out of the company. So it's not like he's handing me a big gift with this news.

People in this company freak me out. I feel like I need a xanax right now.

Also DD's teacher told me today she was going to send me an email with more of her thoughts on DD being a repeat kindergartener. Also I emailed DS' school and about if they allow redshirting.

I don't really have any chill moments in life anymore.

mustardseed2007 - maybe the push outs were people who wouldn’t hack it or didn’t want to be managers? Being an optimist over here but Xanax also sounds good.

I came home and my crock pot malfunction/died. My steaks were not cooked. DH thought they were done and were goin to feed them to DD. Then he tried to tell me they were just marinating all day and could be thrown on the grill. I told him he was trying to poison us. I threw them away and made emergency spaghetti. I was really looking forward to steak tips in gravy over my bake potato I cooked in the same crock pot the day before and saved in the fridge.


DD did have the water on and boiling when I got home but they couldn't decide which noodles to boil so were waiting. Good thing as it made it easy to switch to spaghetti. She also had fun at the Harry Potter library event. DH said it was boring. DD asked for DH to pick her up today as she wanted more time to read. DH started coming up with excuses on having a busy day, working late, etc. I told him she needs to be picked up by 6pm and if I do it I will pick up right before 6 and I really doubt he was going to be working past 5. His boss gets really upset if DH isn't back to the shop by closing time. In other words he just didn't want to do it but I'm making him anyways. Totally expecting a text this afternoon saying he is busy and I need to do it.

One guy who got pushed out was given a big severance and access to a head hunter ...that sounds pretty good right now. I like my job and all. A lot actually. I wish I could see the future and know I'm going to get through this sticky part though.

2chatter, if it were me, I'd definitely downgrade to a movie and ice cream. It will still be fun!

All that hype about valley snow was a bust. I'm at work and we have clients calling wanting to come in and drop off today. DD was pissed as she wanted me to stay home and DH is planning and dragging her all over town because he doesn't want to be home. I was really waiting for DD to just ask to come with me to work and this is totally why she hates running errands these days.

I survived making8 billion PB&J sandwiches for charity while dragging 2 kids with me (one for Cub Scout credit). We got there early which worked out because they were out of seats, knives and gloves later in. Then left later and booked it to dance. She missed the tap portion but got ballet in- oh well. Oh and got gas.

They were crazy during lunch at home all amped up so I sent them for room time.
