Flame alert. My staff decided to get a puppy two weeks ago so now I may have to travel back to back weeks in early November. Somewhat cool places (Colorado and Vegas) but I am still irritable. Why did you get a dog when you knew you had travel? Grrrr
Since when does having a puppy get you out of traveling? But then again I seem to be on the harsher side as a manager/employer based on some of the posts on here :-)
Not the same as @glitzy but a good friend is seriously thinking about moving into my neighborhood. While it would be awesome to have her there she can be a little high maintence and she is single so I think H and I would become her go-to people for everything. It actually would be really good for her financially and for her quality of life but still.
I'm really confused by your post. Your staff decided to get a puppy and it affects your travel? Huh?
He was supposed to go to Colorado and now says he can't because he got a puppy. I have to go instead even though I am already traveling the following week.
Ohhhhhh that makes the story make more sense. One of your staff members got a puppy. I was reading it as your entire staff got a puppy, like an "office dog," (which would be weird), and for some reason that meant you had to travel.
I don't like the actual houses they are now building in our neighborhood. They don't have the same feel or look. #snob also. Though, this new builder has caused huge issues within the HOA board.
I always said I didn't want an HOA but now I kind of wish we had one. It's a 16 lot neighborhood and we were the 8th house built. The first 7 were built 5 years ago. A builder just purchased all of the remaining lots and is putting huge houses on them in colors that don't make sense - for example, he put a blue/gray house with grayish roof two houses down from a blue/gray house with a grayish (same) roof and is now building a yellow house directly next to a creamy yellow house. The two that are up so far are also identical house plans and prior to this all of the houses were very different. We built here because we didn't want a pre-fab looking neighborhood and I'm afraid that's what we will get.
I live in a new construction neighborhood so I knew that there would be houses that look similar. However the one across the street has a decoration above their windows on the second floor but not the first floor. Drives me crazy
I need to apologize to anyone that I convinced to read Heart Shaped Box, esp sjh722, because damn, that's a scary book. I was thinking of Horns, not HSB. I finished rereading it last night and holy shit, lol.
I'm only halfway and doing ok...does it get worse? LOL! I hold you harmless either way.
I think it gets less scary? Or maybe the beginning desensitized me, lol. Gory, yes.
I have snapped. Dd1 was up at 2. Dd2 up for the day at 6. I'm sitting on the side of a back road while the baby naps in the car after screaming in her pnp for over an hour. My mom decided to break her silence as I tore out the front door by asking, "did she go to sleep?" In the sweetest voice ever. I may have growled.
Crap. I think AJ's awake. He's not supposed to be for another half hour or so.
When the medical assistant was taking my vitals before I saw the NP this morning, she asked when my last period was and then promptly had an "oh shit" face on when I was like "uhhhhhhh....I don't know. Two years ago?" When I told her it was because I got an IUD after Aj was born and my period hasn't come back yet she was visibly relieved.
this pinkeye business is for the birds. I feel fine but am still contagious until tomorrow morning. At least Aj and I got out and about yesterday with a trip to the Zoo and Target.
countthestars, man that is the suck. What you said is exactly why half the neighborhood is upset with this builder. He has like 3 floor plans and he is cramming them in. He is building 3 houses on what should be 2 lots. We bought in here because (like you) the houses were all custom homes. According to emails flying around older homes took at least 6 months to build and this guy is tossing up his "custom" homes in 36-45 days. So frustrating. There is one house he put up that literally looks like it could fit in the foyer of the house next to it. Wish I could take a pic and show you.
As for the HOA...they have been worthless. Many of us think the president is getting a kickback, which is why this builder has been allowed to continue with his bullshit.

I think I over did it today. I was up with O during the night, then picked H up from preschool and took him to get a haircut, came home for lunch. Then I took O to his two day doctors visit and we stopped at Ann Taylor and Gap quickly on the way home as I gave nothing to wear for O's newborn photos tomorrow.
Now I'm beat and sore.?. But both my boys are well so I'm happy.

I'm extremely impressed. When DS2 was two days old I don't think I went further than from the couch to my bed.
I am sitting on a NYC street being MMM to get free parking that starts at 6 pm. But I'm hungry now and can't leave the car so I dug around at the random snacks I keep in the middle compartment.....
I landed a very, very part time job. For some reason I'm stupid excited I got picked to do an hour a day of admin work. It should pay for groceries though and get my toe back into the work force.
