"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
I'm in a bummy mood this morning. A family friend died last night kind of suddenly--she was hospitalized last week with encephalitis and it all happened really quickly.
Andy perked me up a bit this morning though. His new thing is singing. If you start to sing and hold a note he will join in and it makes him SO HAPPY.

I'm sorry @missusbee
My former boss from my old job is now a rep for a lighting company, and he'll be in my office today. I really didn't like working for him for various reasons. I'm weirdly nervous about it. I am antsy right now.
ETA: Former boss just cancelled because he's "sick". I put that in quotation marks, because he would mysteriously get "food poisoning" about once a month when I worked with him. This usually occured on Mondays or Fridays.
i'm sad about the death of katherine chancellor/jeanne cooper. i quit watching y&r back in october when my dad died (so weird, but when he retired he started watching it with my mom and even though i have watched it for almost 20 years i can't watch it right now because it reminds me of my dad, lol.) but anyway, i don't have any idea how they handled this on the show. i might start recording it again.
and WHAT will they do when victor dies?!? they should just end the show at that point.
1. Excited for my sister graduating tomorrow. She called me yesterday evening to ask if I could bring my Caruso rollers to do her hair, and she never tries to get dolled up. I think it's really sweet how excited she is.
2. Doc appointment today, I'm already basically ready for this pregnancy to be done. I'm on the brink of the "everything is a shit storm" downward spiral of the third trimester.
3. I hate that when my boss is out she doesn't tell any of us. This directly affects me, I do all her stuff while she's gone. LET ME KNOW WHAT THERE IS TO DO, LADY.
Work is kicking my butt lately. It's SO busy and I only have two more weeks before I'm out for three weeks. I'm half worried that everything is going to fall apart and half worried that things will go better without me here and they'll figure out I'm replaceable. I need to get over myself
H got asked by our neighbor to go play softball with him last night. H struggled to adjust when we moved and, while we've fallen in with a great group of couples, he doesn't have many guy friends that are just his friends. He was all giddy when the neighbor called him.
And then it started raining, lol. Maybe he'll get invited out again
And, today is my Friday! I'm taking off tomorrow to chillax on my birthday
And, in my continued effort to actually start promoting my letter art - and you know, maybe even sell something - I made this cover for my fb page last night.
Maybe I should just move it to etsy, because I'm getting nothing from the art gallery
I tried to play a small joke on H, and it ended up backfiring. He's always complaining about having to pick up the dog shit and how the shovel he uses messes up the grass and whine whine whine.
You guys, he loves this thing. I've never seen him so excited about something. I was totally prepared for a "what the fuck is this" reaction when he opened it, and I had this whole speech planned out.
No.
He ran right outside and started cleaning up dog shit. AND THEN showed it to our neighbor, and cleaned up his yard.
At least it got him to clean up the yard, but it was definitely not the reaction I had thought.
I am going to a big college rowing championship tomorrow so today is my Friday. Woooohooo! Even though it wasn't my championship in college I still get nostalgic about it because of what a big deal it was for everyone on my HS team. We used to take the day off and go watch races with our parents approval. It was awesome.
DS isn't adjusting well to his new classroom at dc. It has been 2 weeks now and he just doesn't like it.
It's my last day of work before I go on holiday and to Vegas. We have a beer tasting/tour tonight, then the Tulip Festival tomorrow, then Vegas. And the bosses aren't in today. Whoo!
I'm excited and nervous about the marriage vote today! I wrote to my legislators, but I didn't hear anything back from them (not too surprised about it).
I was doing bedtime with prayers with the kids last night and DS said he wanted to pray for our family, so we did. I asked DD who or what she wanted to pray for and she looked at me and said very seriously, "Maybe the reindeers? Yeah, the reindeers. And the puppies and cats, too." <3 my kids!
Stephlove, that's awesome. We've created a new jobtitle in our house: Minesweeper. It's for whomever goes out and cleans up the bombs in the yard before DH mows the lawn. DD was surprisingly excited about taking on this new job.
DS #2 gets his last cast off today and goes into his brace! In just a couple hours too

I'm trying, lol. Photography was a big part of my previous job and I've missed it, so I've been trying to keep doing some sort of photography for myself and get it out there. I wanted a niche instead of selling regular scenic stuff. Sometimes I wonder if it translates well, though
I was told yesterday that Em is probably moving up to the mobile baby room in June. I'm not thrilled. I know she'll be fine but she's not mobile yet!! They are pushing the move for her and some of the other babies because they have a fleet of new babies starting. Thank God I love the teachers over there too. It's just all going so fast.
This is the stuff that makes me mad about day care facilities. Because my niece has been walking since 10 months and they still won't move her until she's 13 months, but then they get aggravated when she messes with the tiny babies that are in her room, b/c she's one, and is in the same room as 8 week old babies!! UUGHH
My random: I'm in a foul mood today too. All of our administration is leaving after this school year, and I'm close with them, so it sucks. But I have a friend who wants to apply to work here last year, and we don't have an online application, so I emailed the superintendent yesterday, asking when a decision would be made about new admin, so that my friend could send her resume to them. The superintendent was nice, and we had a VERY brief conversation, where she told me the new admin would be named in the nest 10 days. Then my principal came in and gave me shit this morning for asking about it. He's mad that he's basically being ousted from his job, and that the superintendent came here this morning, to talk to someone else who had asked to MEET with her about the same thing I had emailed her about. I understand that he is stressed, and sad to be leaving, and mad at the super, but I DIDN'T ASK TO MEET WITH HER. I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHE WAS HERE THIS MORNING! So it's frustrating to me that he was crappy with me about emailing her.
ALSO, someone from our school just put an anonymous note in my co workers mailbox about how many days she has missed, and said that they had seen her out with guys and girls on nights before she has called in to work, and asked if she had any work ethic. I am SHOCKED that in our tiny school someone would do that, and not just come to her face to face about it. She is really upset, and I feel bad. I also am nosey and want to know who wrote it!
I had a rough night and was basically up from 3am on. When the baby woke up I brought her in bed and we've been napping all morning. I love that she was so good and let me sleep!!
My mom is flying in today and while I was looking forward to her visit, now is not the best time for a house guest. Ugh.
For the fourth freaking Thursday in a row Jack's soccer game is going to be rained out. He is SO excited. We will have to do something fun tonight because this is just getting crazy.
Also this is a bragplaint, but mostly a complaint. Gap is on my shit list again. I ordered stuff like I swear two weeks ago and it finally arrived. Nothing was on back order. They just have the world's slowest delivery. Everything I ordered is too big. That is the brag part. So that is fun that I am getting closer to my old size. But it is silly that a Small is just hanging on me. And of course everything is now out of stock online. I am annoyed.
My mom had surgery and she isn't supposed to lift her arm. My dad is back in the hospital, kidney failure (they have failed temporarily throughout his liver issues before the transplant, they think that's what it is again). My mom hinted that she wanted me to take off work to clean her house and take her dog to the groomer but I avoided it because I don't want to use vacation time. I'm moving in 2 weeks AND DH is out of town so I'm by myself with the baby so I can't do it after work either. She said she would get a maid service but was too embarrassed because the house is such a mess. It doesn't look any different than it normally does, I don't know what she is talking about.
My brother did it. He is over there today. I alternate between being annoyed that my mom is so dependent (she asks for help with reeeeealy small things all the time, its frustrating) and at my brother for being a doormat then I feel like a selfish asshole.
I am moving on Saturday and hardly any of my house is packed. I need to get my ass in gear and get shit done. I estimate I'll be up into the wee hours of Saturday morning finishing up.
I can't wait to live by myself, in my own apartment, for the first time ever. I've only ever lived with my parents or and SO, so this is huge for me.
