romymichele - You're going to have SO MUCH fun! If the traveling show comes back anywhere near me next year, I'm absolutely going again.
I am getting nervous/excited/want to vomit about Saturday's comp. I have an actual chance of getting on the podium for this one, so I'm hoping the stars align and I can just kill it. Previous comps have been mostly for fun and to challenge myself so the pressure has been very low.
As a corollary, I get to eat potatoes and rice at every meal the next two days and and I very excited about this.

I was really surprised at how NOT SORE I was when I woke up. Yesterday I scraped the wall paper paste from the bathroom walls at the new house, washed the walls and then washed almost all the windows (which were sooo filthy, omg ew).
Yeah. I'm sore. So sore. It just took a while for me to wake up. Pass the Advil omg
My coworker came is sick as a dog Monday, went home early but not before hacking all over everyone and everything. Stayed home Tuesday/Wednesday at the request of our boss but tried to come back today, still sick. Employee health sent her home. A second coworker went home early with it yesterday and is out today still sick as well. Her kids have it too and share the same daycare with my kids. I've had a sore throat the last few days (although it's better today)...I don't have the availability to be out. If the kids or I develop this cough of death thing I'm going to be pissed.
I locked myself out of my work blackberry yesterday, and I think I have it working again without actually having to talk to the helpdesk, fingers crossed.
DS fussed and whined in his sleep ALL NIGHT thanks to this most recent growth spurt. He didn't really wake up, but OMG I am so tired this morning.
H and I both have our annual reviews today. I know mine will go well (we get a copy of the review with peer and supervisor comments 24 hours in advance to prepare). H anticipates his review won't go as well.
The best part of my annual review season is that it is followed by an annual raise...
I just got off a conference call where they outlined commission cuts/changes for the remainder of the year.
My particular division has been a sinking ship the last year and a half and the new plan focuses on cutting reps payouts who are in exactly my position- bleeding existing business faster than I can bring new business in. And the new business is next to impossible to bring in because we now have a reputation as being unreliable.
I've been with my company 19 years and so scared of making a change.
I accidentally gave out my cell phone to a work contact instead of my work phone number. I only realized this after they called me on my cell and I told them I would have to call them back when I got to work. I fear I'm going to have to get a new cell phone number now.
We found out yesterday that Ellie has a lazy eye and needs glasses to help correct it.
I'm bummed and trying to get over myself. The thing is-I LOVE glasses on adults and teens (FFS H has glasses-dorky guys with glasses is kind of my type) but glasses on little kids makes me sad.
I know this is SO lame and they make really cute kids glasses now but...
Apparently I'm vain about my child. I need to get the fuck over myself. (Sorry Kev-you've already had to deal with my crazy whining on this ❤️).
lilafowler Ellie is seriously going to be so deliciously cute with glasses, just you wait. Will she have to do any other type of treatment, like patching?
This morning my cw walked by my office and said "OMG YOU'RE ACTUALLY EATING."
I can't wait to hear back from HR.
NO SHE FUCKING DID NOT.
I'm going to kick some ass, Betty. I'm pissed for you.
I don't even get her angle. She's like 30 years older than me and she always looks good at work, so I don't really see how she would be projecting anything on me. Fucking weird.

Morgan has been wearing her glasses for about 3 months now (starting at 15 months) I felt the same way at first - don't be sad about it! You'll notice a big difference in how well she can focus & do things that you'll be glad for the glasses.
I'm not sure how old Ellie is but we had to go into it with a lot of patience, she would only wear them so short periods of time but gradually got used to them. The first pair lasted exactly one week before she broke them, second pair lasted about 6 weeks... Get a good strap to help keep them on and consider getting a back up pair (we just did this). Also - depending on age, consider taking them off in the car at first, this is when she would pull them off & bend them & I couldn't reach her to get them from her.

Thank you! No, they think that the glasses will be all she needs. They said this may correct it and she might not even need them in a year or two.
bex1973 she looks adorable!!! Those frames are cute! Ellie is 4 btw.
I went home yesterday with the intention of skipping the gym, making myself a drink, and watching OITNB. Instead, I passed out on my bed and didn't wake up until H got home 2 hours later. I then proceeded with my original drinking/tv watching plans while H spent 2 hours doing yard work. I also made him help cook dinner. At least I cleaned up? I still feel like such a lazy ass.
