I get to pick up steroids for the elder boy, he's got the worst croup I have ever seen. It's day 2 and I have no idea how long it will stick around. Just waiting for the other two to get it.
I am SO glad it's Friday. I have been so exhausted all week. My parents made it to Kauai for their final days in Hawaii and I am so excited to see their pictures. I wish I was there with them.
Today I have a phone interview and an in-person interview. One for HR and one for higher ed. I would LOVE the higher ed job, so cross fingers. Then hanging out with the very handsome guy with the puppy. Tomorrow is a huge beer festival. It may be storming, but it says rain or shine, so beer will be had. Sunday I'm meeting some SO ladies for brunch and mimosas, which will be a lot of fun.
Tonight I'm having dinner with some friends, YAY! Tomorrow we're doing family/PF's 2 yr photos in the park. Then H is doing an evening study group. Sunday H and I are going on a date!
We had a party for my boss when he became a naturalized citizen, he was extremely proud of it--his wife wanted to do something, so we had Russian food, party poppers, and French booze

Go Gault and PS! Good luck on your interviews. Last year in school my little brother made a summer bucket list. It was adorable and I ended up taking him to do a bunch of the things on his list. It was so much fun! Except I got a really bad sunburn when we went to the zoo.
Boyfriend's work has a summer dinner party tomorrow night. I think it will be fun. One of his coworkers has a giant crush on him and he has no idea. She flips her hair and giggles at everything he says and I think it is hilarious.
The Utah pride festival is this weekend so I will be doing some volunteer time at the HRC booth. Getting sunburned...

Good Luck, and Lots of Job Dust to partiallysunny and gault!! And hugs for cuddlyevil! Sick kids are a bummer! Hopefully the steriods help him recover quickly!
H was supposed to be gone all weekend, but those plans were changed earlier this week. So my wine drinking, movie watching gtg with my girl friends has been changed a little bit. But the end result is the same, he's getting kicked out for the evening and the girls are invading! I would only be more excited if I had a babysitter!
Other than that, I'm just planning on enjoying the sun that we're supposed be getting for the next few days. I might take DS to the petting zoo, maybe the Farmers Market on Saturday... Nothing's really planned tho.

Yep and MIL is all "it's probably just the same VIRAL thing his brother has" because the elder one now has a runny nose and seems to be improving. Ugh. She doesn't believe it's croup because he's feeling better. I have a call into the pediatrician about the baby

I love it when other people try to tell you what is wrong with your kids when they're sick... My FIL is the main culprit in our family. He's constantly trying to tell me why DS isn't feeling well (mind you, that kid is almost never sick but FIL thinks he is all the time), and my diagnosis is NEVER right. I mean, after all, what do I know? I'm only the mom!
This was me yesterday. Finally at about 3:00, something set me off and I closed my office door, turned up my music and had a good, 2 hour long, ugly cry. My eyes feel completely devoid of moisture today, but I slept really well...

I am currently sitting in bed watching Master Chef and shoving my face full of peanut butter M&M's. I think I will get up and start sewing, I usually find that to be really relaxing/destressing. I also took some of my tension headache meds because I have one of those and also they have a little bit of anti anxiety in them too. I feel so useless on days like this which only increases my anxiety levels.

I know. She was at the doctor's office with me yesterday too so she heard the doc say "Well it's probably croup".

I usually try to do something with my hands when I'm stressed. Most of the time I crochet, but baking a pie or making homemade tortillas is really theraputic for me to... I'm not sure why, but it works. My neighbor calls me "the pie lady" because I never eat the pies, I give them away. All I want is the satisfaction of making one. I'm a wierdo.

I like doing things with my hands, too. We should meet up sometime.
*wink*
Make me a banana coconut cream pie and I will love you forever!
