Hope everyone has a great week!!

We actually don’t have a lot going on at all. We were supposed to have a play date today but it won’t happen because the boys are sick and it’s gusty winds here (totally not the norm).

We need to do grocery shopping and Costco at some point (today or tomorrow). Also need to stop by the party store and pickup the stuff for DH bday (probably Weds). Preschool like usual.

We don’t have soccer this Sat so we originally thought we would go to our previous city (where my mom also lived) so DH can golf (he has gift cards to a course there, like almost $300) and I could see my aunt and family on my mom’s side. But she is OOT. So we decided to still go and see my step dad and church mentor and take the boys to the park C used to go to all the time and the apple orchards...except there aren’t any tee times for golf because they have a tournament. So we will just go another time. I was surprised how many feelings I had when we made the plans...I would be very close to where my mom lived and it definitely brought up sad feelings of her being gone.

We might go to the zoo in San Diego if the boys feel better instead. Not sure because we need to buy our passes again but kids are free so we can hold off on getting C’s pass.

No official plans this week. Our college's homecoming is this weekend (after they stopped doing it for a while.. my college has a very bad drinking reputation and they keep getting rid of things that encourage drinking around here). I haven't really heard of much going on that we'd be either interested in going to or that we'd have friends coming back for. I wouldn't mind going out to the bars or something but not if no one we know will be around!

I had 2 job interviews this morning and I received an offer and excepted one. It’s going to be a few weeks for HR to process everything but I’m excited!

Our fire house kids are coming to visit this weekend!!!! We are so excited. They arrive Thursday. Thursday we will just have a low-key night since nice H has to work. Friday we are taking them to Kennedy Space Center. Saturday and Sunday will be beach days/around town. I think we are going cosmic bowling Saturday night, I can’t wait.

Congrats, wineandcheese!!!

Nothing too crazy going on here. I have therapy today, and then couple of @-related appointments later in the week.

Vent: I'm definitely relieved that I have a therapy appointment today, because I need it. I'm such a mess right now, and it's been snowballing for the past couple of weeks. Some of it has been caused by unavoidable stress, but the amount of nonsense that's been happening has caused my anxiety to go out of control and my food OCD is controlling my life. I've had two total breakdowns in the past week over completely ridiculous things, and my life doesn't look like it's going to calm down for a while so I need to do something before it continues to get worse. Ugh.

Congrats wineandcheese!

DS was sick last night so I am super duper tired today. Will take it easy the rest of the night.

DH and my 10 year wedding anniversary is next week and we are going out of town next weekend I am so excited. we are planning our dinner reservations now 😊

Doctors appointment and school assembly for DS on Wednesday but otherwise a normal week this week.

[luv2rn4fun]

Congratulations wineandcheese!!! That’s awesome news! I hope you love your new job!

katespade- ((Hugs)) friend.

Feeling overwhelmed with work and life in general. Thinking of a mental health day on Friday. But that will probably turn into a go get my flu shot and an xray of my ankle since it is starting to hurt again after falling almost three weeks ago.

Might go to Boo at the Zoo on Saturday if weather isn't too cold.

Congrats wineandcheese! (( katespade))

Not much over here. Chiro appointment tomorrow, also getting my flu shot and annual TB test. Need to go to ulta for shampoo and moisturizer. I do have an exam in one of my classes on Thursday.

Friday is fall festival day. Daycare in the afternoon, and our church sponsors a local elementary school, so we'll volunteer there Friday evening.

[wineandcheese]

((katespade)) and ((grover))

Thanks ladies!

Congratulations wineandcheese! 

How was your therapy appointment katespade?

DH just called to tell me 2 guys he works with had their debt card pins stolen and money withdrawn from their accounts last weekend. Because the guys on site live all different places, they are assuming it happened at a local quick trip by work. So DH was going to call our bank just in case because it is a place he also frequents. What a PITA. 


DH did have a 1.5 hour phone interview for the new job this past Sunday. He is waiting on an offer now. We are keeping our fingers crossed that it is a high enough offer to make the transition worth it. With the amount of OT he is doing he is actually bringing in more money then he ever has, but it is taking quite a physical toll on him. Taking the new job would be a pay cut, but we are hoping with salary + bonus it would even out to not being too much of a pay cut.

Tomorrow is my anniversary! We're planning to go out for dinner on Friday since my parents will be here and can watch the kids.

We came back from my parents' yesterday and R is staying with them for a few days until they all come back here on Thursday. So with just having T, I'm trying to get a bunch of errands and things done around the house that are easier with one non-mobile kid. We'll see how much I accomplish. I actually still need to get DH an anniversary gift - I spent more one his birthday gift than I was planning so I am going small for this, but nothing like waiting until the last minute.

Friday morning I am giving a presentation for TTH which is great! Except it's on the opposite side of the city and I'm going to be sitting in rush hour traffic to get there. Boo. I also have an eye doctor appt Friday afternoon.

The cooler weather means I'm making the first chicken pot pies of the season on Thursday. YUM.

I figured you ladies may enjoy my gym experience today that I posted on H&F. I need to find a new gym lol.

I’ve be using the stair master lately. I’m the person who normally trips walking up stairs. Today I wasn’t paying attention and fell off of the stair master. Que fits of laughter, no injury except my dignity. As a really hot bodybuilder type guy comes to help me up, I fart from laughing so hard. Guys, I think it’s time for a new gym lol. I left immediately, my workout was 7 minutes long.

My husband things this is the greatest story ever, no sympathy at all. 😂

OMG I actually laughed out loud. I would definitely have to change gyms.

[luv2rn4fun]

wineandcheese- I totally laughed too. Sorry you fell but glad you aren’t hurt and have a sense of humor about the entire situation.

[estrellita]

wineandcheese I'm sorry but 😂😂😂 Glad you're ok! Physically at least. Lol!

I so would have done the same, including the fart. Haha. I'm sorry. You definitely have to change gyms.

I’ll go tomorrow with my head held high since I signed a contract lol. I’ll just stay away from the stair master.

I regret telling DH as he thinks it’s the funniest thing ever.

I was hoping to do a solo Disney day prior to working full time but DH is throwing a temper tantrum. I wanted to do the attractions he doesn’t like but he makes the most pathetic sad face. I wanted to do the rides he hate!

I would totally do a solo Disney day! You deserve it! I actually dream of going to Disney by myself (or adults only...but I would totally go solo). My parents and I did a kid free night and it was nice to do things we can’t normally do. Or...tell him he can come but here is the list of attractions you plan on doing 😜

DH was contacted back on the job. They want to do a follow up in person interview with the regional manager also attending. I think DH is a bit nervous but also glad to hear something back. It's going to feel like a long two weeks waiting for the interview. 

[pooh8402]

Omgggg it won't stop raining! This front has settled over Texas (likely being held in place by warmer air in the Gulf) and the whole state except like El Paso is getting dumped on. Plus there is a tropical storm just west of Mexico that may veer in our direction over the next week.

All the lakes are FULL and the dams are like wide open. The river in my home town is already at moderate flood stage, and close to being at major flood stage. (Which means another cattle drive that has made regional, if not national, news thrice in my lifetime)

I am dying at your story, wineandcheese! That is usually the kind of stuff I thought only happens to me!

I am soooo excited. I entered my amazing mom into a room makeover contest through our local paper, and she made the five finalists! She finds out if she won in mid-November. My mom is the most generous person and never spends money on herself and has wanted a new kitchen for years. I am so hoping she gets it!
