They've also done Dads and Donuts at school. There has not been a Mom/Kid anything yet, not sure if there will be.
There was a school in Texas last year that did some kind of father kid activity and asked for volunteer dads and ended up with a HUNDREDS of men turned up. It definitely made me sniffly.
Thanks, mellym! Yes it’s my right foot. If it were the left foot it would be no problem to drive (assuming you were off any heavy pain meds).
My parents are here the next two weeks and will help with driving me around. After that we’ll see how I’m healing. They said I technically could drive later on after I can put on a more normal shoe, but that if I had to come to jam the brakes I could mess up the foot again. I expect to do some uber-ing and hitch rides for a bit after that.
I plan to go to work on Monday, with my babysitter dropping me off

supertrooper1, congrats on a small but significant step. I remember how physically strange it was to stop wearing my ring .... to not feel its weight anymore. And it took a while for the indentation on my finger to go away. But sometimes I swear I can still feel it.

MIL had the MRI on her kidneys yesterday. They are functioning at 40%, which she said she was told is in the "not good" category. She's waiting to hear from the radiologist about what exactly is going on and what the next steps are. We see her tomorrow, so we'll be able to talk more with her about it.

Still have not had any indication that we have successfully reached the owners of my neighboring house. I'm on the HOA board and the HOA president and I figured out how to shut the water off to the home this morning from the main line in the yard.
However some neighbors informed me that they looked in the mail slot (I did not look through their mail slot!!!!) and the house has water all over the floor inside.
HOA President is wanting to talk to constables about opening the house up but I...don't want to do that. Even if it's possible I don't think I really understand who owns the house or what kind of person they are (I'm starting to think the family that lived there were renters).
mustardseed2007 - that is wild. You would think the owners would make sure the HOA had their info! I wonder if the police can help locate them. Have you looked at property records for your county? It may help locate the owner or a property management group.

I should get paid next week! Yay. I know we'll be back in this situation February 15th if the government shuts down again. But at least I'll get my money.
TWERK: My division just had an hour long argument in my office with me facilitating - not at my suggestion. It was... awful. Not productive. Nothing solved. One person left crying. Another stopped crying before the conversation was over. Overall, feelings are hurt and it's probably made things worse. This is why I hate working with women. Men are much more likely to call someone out on their bullshit, cuss them out, and then get over it.
I have fond memories of the father/daughter dances my all girls high school put on. My dad did do the suit thing and I wore nice dresses. There were pictures and dancing or as my dad always explained it "the girls sing and dance and occasionally go back to the table and check on their dads along with the occasional slow song with dad". My dad loved to dance so he would be out on the dance floor with a bunch of girls. He also enjoyed meeting the dads of my friends as since we came from all over, the parents didn't all know each other. The annual mother/daughter event was more brunch style event.
My brother went to an all boys school and junior/senior year they had Mom Prom. Formal dance for the boys and their moms/other female relative. Senior year, my bro and his friends bought matching corsages for their moms. Pictures and all. I like that the boys go that to as you hear more of father/daughter stuff than mother/son

That sounded terrible. Were you as the facilitator able to cut it off and say this isn’t working/ productive?

I actually did call the constable only because we can submit a vacation watch if we are going out of town, and I would THINK that if you were MOVING OUT but retaining the home, you would do that?
But when I contacted the constable to ask, rather than answering me directly they said they were sending someone out to check the house. For what I don't know, to see if someone was dead??? No one is dead...I don't think.
And by the way, I DO NOT HAVE TIME FOR THIS.
Another reason why I don't want to get with the constable and try to open their house (if the constable would even do that, which I doubt). I don't have time to re mediate someone else's flooding from a broken pipe. THEY NEED TO DO THAT.
waverly, after the first person walked out, I asked the other person (who doesn't report to me) to leave and continued the conversation with my direct report. I think things are okay enough between the two of us, but that's it.
She said something - whether intentionally, or just insentively - that was incredibly insulting to my co-worker. She afterwards expressed remorse about it... but to me, not to the other person. I'm 100% sure she won't appologize about it or even acknowledge that perhaps she said something that could be interpreted wrong to the person who actually needs to hear it.
