Daycare called and asked permission to give B a dose of the Tylenol I have there because he’s complaining the lights make his head hurt really, really bad. Also said his stomach hurts, which is pretty much what happened before he threw up in my car on the way home the last time I had to pick him up for a bad headache. I think that was back in October? I feel so bad for him, but she gave him Tylenol and is having him rest with the younger kids who start nap an hour before his room. He did get up at 5:30 today, all dressed and ready for his day, so maybe he’s tired and that triggered it?
I’m hoping I don’t get a call to come get him, but I also feel bad because I know he could rest a lot better at home and I’m fully capable of WFH when I know he won’t be super active and distracting. But…I’m off for 10 days starting Friday and I feel guilty going home. Sigh. I l just love being a working parent
I'm on week two of having a cold and I'm just over it. I'm allergic to cold meds so I can't take anything, and I used all of my sick leave on bereavement last month (would have been nice to know that they are charged as the same thing.) so I'm at work and miserable and trying to play it off. I wake up feeling like death every morning. UGH. /whine
I'm now hooked on the Serial podcast. Thanks you for whoever mentioned it! I'm 4 episodes in.
Totally random, but you know what phrase really bugs me in regards to dating? "You deserve to be happy". I hate hearing that. Whether I'm on the receiving end of the sentiment or overhearing it. Because, one, why should happiness be tied to being in a relationship? And, two, are there people that you're really like nope... You don't deserve to be happy. Argh!

The roof is being replaced on the home were buying. It was supposed to be finished Sunday. It wasn't due to "neighbors complaining of noise". Then it was supposed to be finished Monday. It wasn't. Because I drove by after work and noticed that it was still only halfway done. I don't think they came at all yesterday. I'm lived that I had to find this out myself and let the agents (ours and listing agent) know.This should be their job.
Then it rained last night, which is bad for a halfway done roof.
My Realtor got a very angry call from me this morning (after she already knew I was pissed last night). I realize it's more of the listing agent who has poor communication, but I don't feel like people are standing up to it in the way I feel it should be dealt wiht. They're all kind of "well, not much we can do right now" which does NOT fly with me.
It's supposed to rain the rest of the week (rain = bad news for roof installation).
I'm getting ready to walk away from this house if we have to.
I just sent out my farewell email. Blerg. Mostly, I am nervous about people asking where I am going, since I have nothing lined up. I don't know how to answer without it being obvious that I was fired. I should just lie.
I had to drop $700 on my car yesterday. The shifting problem was due to a bad clutch master cylinder. But it's running great now! I thought it was really shitting timing, because of the holidays and the fact that I just paid my registration last week, but! it actually is a good time; my parents gave me $200 as a birthday present to go toward it AND I just received a $200 check from my dad for my bday. So, it could be worse.
BF got me a HOTPINK Hydroflask for my birthday. He got me the coffee lid AND the straw lid! LOVE.
OMG I made the biggest mistake at work yesterday EVER. Like in my whole career. I fixed it the best I could but it was on a marketing piece that already went out so there is only so much you can do. I have to tell my boss and I'm scared! Not sure if I should just be all matter of fact or like please please please forgive me! I made a mistake last Thursday too. I've been here for about 18 months and have made 3 mistakes in that time and two were in the last week. I feel like shit
I've totally been there and it SUCKSSSSSSS!!! Go in, take ownership and responsibility and try and go in with a solution vs. just a "hey, so I did this and it sucks". If it can't be corrected, try and let him know what you'll do to prevent it in the future.
The biggest thing is taking ownership and not placing blame on circumstances/people. It will be OK! Mistakes do happen.

I've had to do this as well, so I have just been like "oh, I'm travelling, then I'll figure it out. I didn't like this industry, but I'm not sure what I want my next step to be..."
All is true, but it sounds like it is my choice as well.
Xh is such a genius. He and I were talking to coordinate the pick up for Ps xmas break. He said "now don't I get him Extra days since you didn't let me have my full visit at thanksgiving?" My attorney had emailed his saying this, yet they still filed a contempt charge. I said "no unless you drop that contempt charge you filed". Honestly I'd rather take the contempt charge and have him NOT get extra time with P.
He said "A, I didn't file the contempt charge, my lawyer did". Face meet Palm.

I feel like I'm starting to get a cold, which is just great!
I went back to my trainer today after almost 3 weeks off and I think he was trying to punish me. The amount of squats and lunges he had me do was just not okay!
I started with a new product for exfoliation on my face because I felt like my face was just looking dull and now I'm breaking out, which I know is because it is clearing out my pores, but I still hate it.

I think I am going to quit the Bar Method. I love it, I really do. But I haven't been going enough to really justify the $125 that gets charged to my credit card every month. And with me trip coming up, I don't want to dip into my savings to pay for it so I want to do it the smart way and it seems logical that I would cut unnecessary spending. I'm kind of sad about it, Bar was there for me during a pretty rough time in my life but it just isn't doing it for me anymore.
I went to a bday party for one of my friends last night and took P. He was tired so he ended up being horrible and we had to leave. He's been really naughty lately. He has been telling me he just wants to live with his dad and it breaks my heart.
I had to talk to xh yesterday. He asked what Ps shoe size is. I wondered why he wanted to know. He wants to buy him s snowboard and snow boots. I said "uhhhh you should just rent, he's 5". Plus he already bought him an atv for xmas. I may have gotten through to him but I'm not sure. I hate that he tries to buy his love and at 5 it seems to be working.
xh did this to dd during his brief stay last May. took her to TRU and Target and basically bought her whatever she wanted bc he felt bad about missing Christmas and her last THREE birthdays !
the upside is that she rarely plays w/ what he got her and that includes an Easy Bake Oven ....
My mom wants to me to go through ALL of my email before I leave, to find documentation of some of the bullshit I've been dealing with here for years. Reading through emails from 4 years ago still gives me anxiety.

I texted my mom and sister this morning about how I felt the baby move for the first time. My mom just writes back "I'm super happy for you!!! L is a gift from God. Enjoy your bonding time with her ! I loved being pregnant with both of my beautiful gifts from God!!!! Ummmm, that sounds like someone else wrote it, that is so not something my mom would normally say! I was dying laughing and texted my sister separately asking if mom is drinking and she texted me the same thing at the same time. My mom doesn't even drink, she's just getting crazy as she gets older. Today's comment was kind of cute though. I just couldn't stop laughing.
