I just got a hard copy letter, with cc's on it. I'm not sure if that means I'm supposed to send it to those people or if they also received a hard copy?
I had a great weekend. H and I ended up having a little date night Saturday that was nice, and then my family came over to swim yesterday and my mom made dinner.
One more week of work, and then we leave Saturday for Myrtle Beach. I can't wait!
Bernadine, I would assume that they were already sent copies. I have to do a lot of hard copy letters with cc's and always send the copies out myself, I would never assume that the recipient would do that.
I went to an auction yesterday. I always forget how much fun they are. I ended up buying the world's second ugliest chair, I already own the first ugliest. You all might judge me otherwise I'd post a picture LOL
I can't believe that July is almost over. This summer is just flying by and I feel like I haven't done anything. We aren't even doing a vacation this year because we have too many house projects that need funding. We still have another month before we go back and I'm trying to think of sun fun day trips that we can take that won't cost a fortune. Like, the kids want to go to Dorney Park and that's going to end up being a $400+ day. Ugh.
Also, I think that the woman who sits across the cube wall from me must have 100 different lotions at her desk and she uses them all throughout the day. I've given up making passive aggressive comments about it, but seriously, I can't effing stand it. Every smell is more overwhelming than the last. Who does that? Fingers crossed my transfer gets approved, because if it does, there are only 3 other people who sit where I would sit and none of them use all the smelly stuff that I know of. If it doesn't, I might have to formally complain because it's just too much.

@bernadine if they are cc’d I would think they also received the letter, not that you are expected to send to them.
H is traveling this week and it’s DS’s first day of full day camp. I am out of practice getting him up and ready with a lunch packed before I leave for work.
I know work is going to be a nightmare this week, but I really need to leave a little early each day since H isn’t home for hand off from our nanny. I’m hoping enough management is out that no one notices.
I need ham like water Like breath, like rain I need ham like mercy From Heaven's gate Sometimes ham salad or casserole or ham that’s free range, all natural I need ham
I don't wanna be here today. DH took the day off to brew, so he and DS were still asleep when I left this morning, meanwhile I'm here trying to justify someone else's dumb idea.
DS has his well check this evening, and then we're finally getting him going with real swim lessons this week. DD's at camp all week so DS is getting all the attention
@sameoldstory , yeah. I’m gonna need to see a picture.
PDQ pictures because I WILL delete. I don’t know what it is, but I just love these chairs. I may also have questionable taste. Don’t judge me too harshly
I bought this chair at an auction 6 years ago: *poof*

I really don't want to be at work today. I don't feel well, I've had a cold since Friday and I think it's getting slightly better, but I slept like crap last night so I'm really tired and foggy headed. My stomach also is off, I think it's just a lot of gas. I think I swallow a lot of air when I'm congested because I always end up feeling bloated and gassy.
I have a few meetings today that I really shouldn't cancel, but if I still like this when they are done at 3pm I will probably leave work early.
First day of funemployment week. Took the dog for a 3.5 mi walk, gonna put my desk together (hopefully), hit the grocery store, the library, and start some math prep stuff (more of it!). And maybe get some fun reading in, too, before starting dinner. I have a long to-do list for this week.
I am in desperate need for a mental health day, it was all I could do to drag myself out of bed this morning. Part of it is work stress and part of it is just being on the go, go, go way too much lately.
I got about 3 hours of sleep last night, woke up late (I somehow turned off my alarm), was rushing around like a crazy person trying to get my son off to day camp (first day of this rotation--paperwork, swim gear, lunch, water bottle from which his name mysteriously rubbed off--of course!). Then I had to go to PetsMart to get a cone for my boy dog, b/c he has this weird sore on his side that he licked all night (OMG). He is pissed off.
Then I spent WAY too long entering all sorts of information for our travel next week. And now I get to pay exactly eleventy billion dollars in bills.
I need a do-over. It's only 10:12 here, people. I was supposed to go to HR today (it's 20 miles from my house) to get my salary information updated, but I woke up late, didn't take a shower or get ready, and now they're going to be busy AF, so I'll have to go tomorrow. I have to physically turn in a form to reflect my additional degree/salary bump that I blew off last year (I just couldn't get over there, but that's just an excuse)--I left a significant amount of money on the table, and I am pissed off at myself for doing so.

I had a first date last night. He seemed nice enough, but he didn't eat! We were at a nice Italian place, his choice. He had none of the salad or bread sticks. His meal was 3 meatballs with bread. He picked at one meatball, no bread. I ended up eating only 3/4 of my napolini pizza. I took the rest home, he declined a to go box. He said he wasn't nervous and wants to see me again, but I don't think I can date someone who doesn't eat.

That sucks! That would be a hard pass for me, too. I guess maybe I'd give him one more shot if you liked him otherwise, to see if it was just a first date thing, but eating is such an important part of my life and I'd feel really self conscious if I was with someone who didn't eat. One of my close friends is like that and I never really fully enjoyed myself going out to eat with her.
I had a scary incident while shopping at Kohls yesterday. One moment all was fine and the next I was hot as hell, got light headed and my hands started shaking like crazy. Out of no where my blood sugar dropped. Luckily I was in the front of the store and they had chocolate bars at the registers. I was able to buy one without drawing too much attention to myself.
I had blood work done about 2 months ago and all was fine. This is the push I needed to finally make an appointment with an endocrinologist to see what the hell is going on with my body.
We left my inlaws beautiful house on the coast of Maine this morning. About 22 more hours in the car. But honestly, it was worth it. It was an amazing trip, and I just wish we could have stayed twice as long. Well, and that DDs sleep had been better. But we are already plotting a trip for next year.

We're going to Maine next week--I can't wait! But 22 hours in the car sounds like the 11th Circle of Hell to me. I just did a DC-Nashville-Knoxville-DC trip last week and I thought I was going to lose my mind.
Work starts again for me on Thursday, and honestly I'm chomping at the bit to go back. I was anxious and snappish all weekend, and I really think it's because I'm just over the lack of structure that comes with summer break. My principal sent out an email this morning offering the building to anyone who wants to come in and start setting up tomorrow, and I think I'm going to take advantage of it while my boys are at camp. I've been poking at lesson plans at Starbucks this morning, but I know that I'll be ten times more efficient in my room at my desk.

It's a 24ish hour drive. We are lucky to be in a sleeper van, so we camp at night. The kids are pretty good in the car, but at the end of the drive up there, we were done with the togetherness! Good thing we went to see family so they took the kids and wore them out for us. Also, we were at Pemaquid Point, so we could walk between family homes.

As long as he didn't make any comments about you eating, I'd give him another chance if you liked him.
My H is thin and not a big eater. I love food and am, in fact, a big eater. It's not an issue.
spindle92, that is scary & I'm glad it came out ok! BUT please - in situations like this it is important to speak up even if it's embarrassing! Just a simple "I need help" would make a big difference if you dropped.
Our union is picketing city hall this afternoon and I really hope the board will concede. None of us want to strike--it would be horrible for the kids--but we will.
On the plus side, I'm rather proud of the sign I made. PDQ
katfco good luck to you guys! I love that sign! When do you guys go back? I have a teacher friend who has been posting on Instagram about all the crap she has been buying for her classroom. I wish she would stop, not all of us can afford to buy things all summer long. We are quite lucky in that we have about $400 to spend on classroom supplies instead of giving parents a list of things to buy themselves. But I can’t keep buying things on my own for my classroom. If I don’t have something I’ll have to improvise or say F it!
followyourarrow, if everything else was good, go on another date. There are a lot of reasons why someone might not really have an appetite - Maybe he wasn't feeling well and didn't want to say anything or he had a larger lunch than planned, or the meatballs tasted off.
I'd give it another chance if everything else was good and you felt like there was a connection.
Today at work a customer told me I looked exactly like her friend. She said the friend had passed away from cancer. Then she started crying and told me she could hardly look at me. It was in a sweet way but I felt so bad. I was all, "I can leave if you want..." - I didn't know what to do or say.
@sameoldstory, Those are indeed hideous, but I am a believer or filling your home with stuff you love even if it won't land you on the cover of any interior design magazines. I am glad you found furniture you love!

That’s so awkward. I once was told by a clerk (I was buying a cell phone and he was the employee selling me one) that I looked just like his dead ex girlfriend.
