How is your day so far?

Mine has been

I don't want to share details because it's work, but I have officially the worst parent I have ever met in my life bringing her children here. Thank goodness this is a temporary arrangement. I cannot even....I can't even......it was an epic drop off at my house this morning and I am blown away.

I want to throat punch my co-workers today. Not that I don't everyday, but today is bad.

[peach]

Well, I GOT punched today. By a kid. In front of their mom. (}) And that was after I held out my hand to them and they slapped me.

Can you fire a family or are you contractually obligated? I'd consider if the added stress was worth it.

I am exhausted. I don't have a ton to do at work today, so I've been messing around on the internet and with some house stuff. H is arguing with me about the circumference vs. diameter of 8" pendant lights. I don't care if the lights are 4" larger than you thought, I just want to order the damn lights and be DONE with it.

Also, someone just came in and asked if I was "getting fat". WTF? (In her defense, she's about 70 and also told me several months ago, "You look good pregnant. ((pause)) I didn't think you would." Thank you?

OMG SJH. That is awful!! Wop should get out her anger and throat punch that old lady for you.

My response would be "Wow you're looking old today. You look like you're about to die. Have a great day!" ;D

I feel sweaty and nervous. And these shoes are not good for the sweaty, so I feel like I might fall which makes it worse.

Also, I have never resigned from a job before (I got laid off from my only real job that didn't involve "moving for college") so the idea of that makes me nervous too.

[peach]

Are you resigning today?? Does that mean you got the new job???

I was up until half past a freckle last night and up early this morning doing last minute crap for the same co-irker I had to deal with last week. At least this time I get all the records I need. Plus some bonus pay. LOL

I've been posting on a thread on MM about a food stamp challenge. Basically, if people want they can try to keep their grocery budget to the amount that they would get on food stamps. This is similar to what Cory Booker is doing in NJ. Anyway, the thread is bringing up all sorts of bad childhood memories. I started thinking about when my mom and I were on food stamps which lead to thinking about my mom's illness and other issues that came afterward. It was not a good time and now I can't get it out of my head.
On another note, DS is home from school today. He has impetigo and it looks gross. I can't tell him that because he would be self-conscious about it so I am just going to mention it to you guys.

There is a laywer here that everyone wants to throat punch. I'm pretty sure we could sell tickets to it she's pissed that many people off.

And now there's talk of giving me another big project. NOOOOO it's not my fault you gave it my coworker who is unreliable, your fault, not mine! I planned this pregnancy perfectly with my work schedule and I don't want to have responsibilities now.

[bunnymendelbaum]

Sounds like there need to be a bunch of throats punched!

My day is good. I'm hella tired because now that my sciatica is better I'm SO freakish itchy I can't sleep. Goal for the day is to drink 2 gallons of water. Only one more month of being PG!

Drywallers/ painters came but there was a slight misunderstanding so they didn't do that much today. No biggie though.

It's been decent.
School is good because the kids are. Had some computer issues this morning but all is well now.
I'm tired because I've been up since 4:00. I'm farming before I go to school as MIL still isn't back from BSC SILs. She'll be home tonight apparently though.
Spent all of my lunch break at the freakin' post office. It took me 25 minutes and there wasn't a soul in the place other than me. And the Post Office wonders why they get a bad wrap. A Christmas ornament to France and the next town over shouldn't take more than 5 minutes to process!
Rubes started a new daycare today. I hoped she loves it. She was sad when I left! This will be better all around. It was the daycare I wanted her in originally. This somedays Dad has her, sometimes a babysitter, daycare 1 day a week, sometimes grandma routine was wearing on me. At least now I just write down the days and drop her off. She loves kids and to play so it'll be better for her too. Nobody's called that she's made anyone bleed yet so that's a good sign.

Awesome bc for the first time in four days I don't feel like death. I have had an awful virus.

Relative to normal, eh, average. I am babysitting a friends kids for a couple hours this afternoon and they are tornado. My house is destroyed. I am so glad I decided not to bother to clean before they came over.

And even thou I am much better, food still sounds awful so for the fifth night in row we will be having something frozen and reheated for dinner.

[tarheels]

My day, um, hasn't started yet. It's 1:30 pm.

It's finals week, so my only place to go is the library. I'm there til midnight most nights. I seem to do my best studying in the afternoon and evenings, so I just go with it.

But I'm wearing a super cute outfit (schlumpy outfits = schlumpy studying and we can't have that ), just discovered frozen crockpot stew in the freezer from earlier this fall and it's DELICIOUS, and I'm feeling good about my exam Friday. So all's right in my world
