My first day at the job was a blast! I really had fun. I already suffered a minor kitchen injury when the convection oven door swung back at me, but alright otherwise.
I found parking right away today which is exciting. Yesterday it took me a half hour. So I went to get breakfast. I got watermelon at the deli down the block and its sour and slimy. I'm sad. Yesterday I didn't get time for a break, so I was expecting this to be my one meal until I get home. Boo.
Boo for bad watermelon, but YAY for a great first day!
I'm so annoyed with my boss. She is pushing ALL of her work onto me.
J does have a small rotator cuff now, but he doesn't necessarily need surgery, unless the pain becomes unbearable.
I used my American Express points last night to get a Keurig and a Kindle. It says I'll get them within 14 days, but I'm hoping at least the Kindle comes earlier so I can take it on vacation.
Today is my Friday!! It's probably the last week that we'll have Fridays off. Too bad I'll be unpacking tomorrow instead of enjoying it.
I'm regretting picking the tenants that we did for our rental. Not that I think they won't pay or will tear the place up - but that they've had 10,001 questions and they haven't moved in yet! I've checked their histories, they have rented from apt complexes before. So why the hell are you calling me asking if you are responsible for changing light bulbs or will I do it??
Glad you liked work!! And gross to slimy watermelon. Nothing is grosser than slimy fruit. Vom.
Today is my anniversary. Both H and I forgot, and were reminded by an email wishing us a happy anniversary. I mean, I knew yesterday that it was today, but TOTALLY didn't realize it this morning. Oops.
I had a student observing yesterday and she was SO weird. She would say random shit to fill the silence. She out of the blue told me that once, she forgot to move her laundry from the washer to the dryer. (End of story) ummmmm. I am so glad it was only for a day.

I got roped in to helping my uncle out with his last minute wedding. As in, we found out last week that he's getting married this Saturday. My mom, the self appointed wedding planner, is barking orders out to everyone. 2 dozen mason jar centerpieces (thanks pinterest) complete.
I realized this morning that DH's birthday is this Saturday, and I had yet to pick up the gift certificates to go with the gift DD and I had already picked out. Thank God for the internet!
I'm hungry, but have been too lazy thus far to go heat up the breakfast sandwich I brought for breakfast this morning.
DS has bumped up to four 6-oz bottles during the day, and has been sleeping 10-12 hours at night. I feel like he's doing stuff like this so much faster than DD did, and it makes me kind of sad because I realize just how quickly he won't be a baby anymore But then I realize that I got 7 uninterrupted hours of sleep last night and I feel a little better.
I went to the gym yesterday and there is a yoga class right after man. A hot guy came in to attend it while I was putting my stuff away and he kept looking at me. I was thinking "Ooh, am I getting checked out?" (it's been a long time, okay?) and then I realized when I got to my car why he looked somewhat familiar - he's a good friend's brother. He was probably just trying to figure out how he knew me, too. Embarrassing!
Also, I went straight from the gym to McDonald's. Thanks a lot, ML! I occasionally bribe my kids with McD's to go to the gym with me and last night I couldn't resist it for myself. Oh well.
My cousin writes a kid related blog. The other day she wrote about her experience in trying to get her son to sleep when he was younger. This child would not sleep. After trying everything she got a doula to talk her through CIO for 3 days, which worked wonders. She got loads of comments, but the one that stuck out most was the one saying that letting your child CIO is the same as a husband beating his wife so that she wouldn't talk to him during the soccer game. Mmmk.

My parents had to put one of their cats to sleep yesterday. It was really hard for my mom because the cat originally belonged to her twin sister, who died 6 years ago--so he was the last piece of her sister still with her. But he had a massive seizure and the vet told them he really only had a week or so left but it wouldn't be a good week so they chose to put him down. Mom's having a rough time with it, even though she knows it was the right thing to do.
It's been a bad week for pets in my family (my sister had to put her cat to sleep on Friday).
I feel really overwhelmed. I get up at 5, get ready for work and get the baby ready. Take him to daycare, come home, cook dinner, do dishes, clean DSs bottles, get his bottles ready for the next day and I get to sit down around 9:00 pm. I managed to work a little overtime so I can leave early Friday afternoon and have some peace and quiet (I mean, DS will be with me but he's no trouble). SD1 came down last night and said her brace wire snapped when she was putting on her headgear and all I could think was "GREAT! There goes my overtime, I KNOW DH is going to stick me with dealing with this since he has school on Thursdays". This morning he initially tried to stick me with it but then I copped an attitude and he said he would take off work for the day to write his paper and take SD to fix her braces. I feel like such an asshole. I hate that SD broke her wire and my first thought was an assholey one.
On top of it, we are broke and my tenant was evicted. He hasn't paid June rent, obviously won't be paying July. He ripped the carpet in the family room and tried to patch it himself by butchering the bedroom closet carpet and did a Frankenstein job repairing it. We will now have to replace the entire room and decided to just do tile in the main room and the kitchen since these tenants keep ruining my house. Rough estimate from DHs cousin (in flooring) is about $2K. I just want to go to sleep until my life gets better.

CurlyQ284, that really sucks. I can totally see why you feel overwhelmed. Your thoughts weren't crappy. Your DH should be able to take the day off so you can have a couple of hours. As far as the tenant eviction, that is the worst. Could you take him to small claims court?

Our pool went a little green while DH and Lucy were camping and I was really sick. It's finally clear and sparkly again- it's raining. Wah wah wahhhh.
Today is my Friday, woot! Monday thru Thursday classes are awesome- so. Inch less review necessary and you feel like you get to know your students a little better,too.

Yeah, we have a debt collector down there that we used for the last eviction. The house is in a Memphis suburb, we live in the DC area now. DHs cousin took a pic so I can throw it in with the rest of the money he owes us.
