DH has a huge interview today. It would make such a difference for us if he got this job. I'm barely awake and already nervous as fuck. Any good vibes you guys want to send out would be so appreciated. I've been anxious about this all week and can't wait until he's done this afternoon.
My H got an email on LinkedIn from HR at the large company that owns the smaller company that I work for.
He's not looking for a new job but he's taking the call anyway. If it's a significant pay increase, he'd consider taking it and we could talk about having a 2nd kid. The stars would really have to align for this to work out, but I'm going to try and be positive.
TGIF!! I have an early meeting so am headed in to work almost an hour earlier than usual. Leaving the house when it's dark and rainy is such a tough way to start the day.
H comes home tomorrow night! If his flight is on time, I'll pick him up just after midnight (so technically Sunday). I am so ready for his trip to be over!
Last night h worked late, and my MIL talked to me about Jehovah and the end times for over an hour. I know people will tell me to shut it down, but it's not that easy for me.
I'm going to my boss's funeral later this morning. This is going to be rough.
And somehow DD and I ended up talking about the Navy Yard shooting in the car this morning (she doesn't know it was a shooting, just that there was a bad guy in my office), so I'm all verklempt after that.
It's rainy and gray, which is just reinforcing my sadness about the above.
Thank God it's Friday, and that DH gets home tomorrow afternoon. I am done.
I drive past this house that was for sale every day on my way to work. I noticed the sign was gone so I googled it. It's totes a tiny house! I hadn't seen one in person. It was a flip and sold for 3X what they paid for it. Holy moley!
I kept waking up last night with my hand completely asleep. And not just tingly asleep, but like completely numb asleep.

I'm having a talk with my boss today about my new schedule. It's unworkable. The new routine has me offsite (conservatively 90 min) typically 2-3 hrs, so basically my whole morning.
I am expected to maintain my current duties in addition to new dutiess. This is because of staff restructuring and today is the end of week two.
The kicker is that my boss has been on a "Why are you so behind? / You need to increase your production" tangent so much so that workmates notice.
4 workmates including that 2 held the offsite role as their sole responsibilty have said the current situation is insane.
I'm excited about the weekend. Chinese food for my mom's birthday tonight then going to a Bhangra show. Then tomorrow a movie and dinner with a friend and then Sunday we are going to a dinner at my favorite restaurant for our anniversary. Ooh and on Tuesday we have a dinner and tasting. Most of my excitement involves food.

I take my next licensing exam tomorrow. The last one I took was when I was 9 months pg with B back in September. I'm not really nervous but I just hope I don't fail this one.
Today is the anniversary of the day I lost DD. It sucks, I'm sad and I woke myself up crying multiple times last night. Everything is setting me off from songs on the radio to the rain outside. Some years are harder than others and for some reason, this year is a tough one.
H and I have a wedding to go to tonight. I really don't want to go but H is hoping that getting out of the house for some fun and dancing and drinks will help. Not to mention, it's his cousin/best friend so it's not like we could skip anyway.

We are going camping tonight and tomorrow night. DH took the day off (with kids' bc of Spring Break) to get everything prepped. Somehow he thought I was leaving work early too and so now he is cranky that I'm not.
I have a huge project to wrap up by Monday and I am waiting for all of the data from the Lab Manager to put it together. I have three meeting during the rest of today so NOW would be a great time to do it - but no data yet. I don't want to get slammed later today or Monday and I'm not doing it while camping so come on data!

Hugs to everyone how is having a hard day today. Good thoughts and prayers to all who need them today.
I feel like I have fallen back into lurker mode here. I am trying to finish a crochet afghan for my bff. My plan is/was to finish it by the end of March and I am almost done. I hope to post more again.
The only plans I have for today, are to do 2 small loads of laundry and make meatloaf for dinner.
My H bought me a pair of Hunter rain boots for our anniversary. I can't wait to wear them. .
Last month was the 3rd anniversary of our loss (stillborn) and I have guilt for not feeling as effected by it as I was expecting. It's like a no-win situation. We haven't been to the cemetery in a long time either. Maybe in the spring, but we seem to have trouble making the decision to go.

Twostep, I'm so sorry Take care of yourself today.
Funny boy story:
Boys were up playing in the dark and suddenly one started crying. I walk into their room and Gabriel is behind the door, Marcus on Gabe's bed crying. Marc says "he hit me!" Gabe stands up and clings to my leg and I chastised him, then asked why he hit his brother. Gabe looks up at me, looks at Marcus, then says: "He know."

It's a little chilly but by sunny so I'm going to go sit my ass at the beach all day and do absofuckinglutely nothing until the kids need to be picked up from school.
Tomorrow night is Hip Hop Hooray which is this old school hip hop cover band. Meeting the boxing crew of course. Yesssss to all this.
I am so freaking tired. My neighbours were outside screaming at each other again from like 1-3 am. Then I couldn't get to sleep because of this damn cough I have, and then ilya woke up at 5. I managed to get him back to sleep, but it was on and off. Like, he would sleep for 10-15 minutes, then wake up, sleep 10 minutes, wake up. Then the dog started barking to go outside. You know when you're so tired and coffee doesn't cut it? Yeah.
