Schipperke. They're little black dogs. I had never heard of them until we got Manny.
I have a schipperke, too ... well, a schipperke chihuahua x. Total. Couch. Potato. But the only living thing that runs to greet me when I get home, so she stays.

My H got his picture taken with a giant check for the newspaper. He is so embarrassed and I think it's the most hilarious thing ever. Cambria was in the newspaper yesterday. We're pretty famous, yo!
I have an ultimate first world problem. I am ANNOYED that we are going to the Jay-Z/Justin Timberlake concert in November. JT's new music sucks and I've already seen Jay-Z with Eminem, and I have a feeling he was better in that venue. I probably wouldn't be AS annoyed by this whole thing except it is the day before Thanksgiving and guess who is cooking - ME! Now I'm hella pissed everyone is going to want to stay out late when I have to get up early the next day and get both the house and all the food together. And my H is all, "I'll help," but let's be real, although he may have good intentions, he is not a cook and cannot be trusted with Thanksgiving dinner.
I know this is stupid, and I'll get over it, but I said from the get-go I was not interested in this concert, and I wasn't kidding. I was my friend had JUST texted me and not my H as well so I could quickly put the kibosh on it.
I hate to admit it, but as much as I adore JT, I was underwhelmed by this concert. Probably because I'm not really a Jay Z fan.
I'm sorry, dude. I know how stressful cooking thanksgiving dinner is :/
today is day 4 of DH being gone for 7. We are going to be totally fucked for getting ready on time because I am just done and can't muster the motivation to get everyone ready. They've eaten, which is a huge step in the right direction, but I can't handle the whining for everything else.
I'm on Day 3 of 5 and I'm already completely over it. The kid is being a dream. It's the fucking dog that's busting my ass...

Did he win the lottery?
I wish! No, he is the general manager of a water district and he was accepting a grant.
I had a tick embedded in my leg last night. I spent the morning at the doctor, CVS and Public Health this morning with the kids. Antibiotic that the girls will be exposed to via breast milk. The only times I feel shitty about extended breastfeeding is with any medication.
My husband is the best. I mentioned a few weeks ago how I wanted to repaint our dining room and foyer to match our upstairs hallway. When I got home from work yesterday, he had done it.

Your daughter is your little mini-me! She's so pretty.
My random: the girls and I woke up at 9 today. It was heavenly. Now they are outside running out in our backyard while I sit under our umbrella and enjoy this beautiful day. Plus, it's supposed to rain tonight & I love rain in the evenings!

I have another one.
This is frustrating me and is likely a tl;dr. I reached out for a job opportunity earlier in the summer. The interviewing went well, but my certifications are woefully out of date ( It's for fitness, and when we got married, I moved and stopped teaching so I let my certs lapse). The coordinator said that I could get an online, easy peasy certification to bridge until I could re-certify with one of the big groups. Then later said that plan was no good. I understand their position and the "need certs with in 3 months of hire" that most, if not all, facilities have.
It was a relief because it gave me time to study up and to work on my health at the same time.
He just called and sounds desperate for someone to take a class in the fall. So I'd need to get certified between now and October. I have a call in to my preferred company to see what their winter schedule is like. The other company has something in our area, but it would only give me 4 weeks to study, is super expensive and for a different type of class than what I teach. I"m not willing to fork over the time/money and stress for my 2nd choice.
I have a feeling I"m going to be calling him back tomorrow to say it's not going to work. Sucks. Totally sucks. I want to teach again and it fits in with ds' preschool schedule.
