Basically forcing him to pay for the training. So this potential other work that they could call him for, he could wait and not do his training until then and THEORETICALLY they would have to pay for it then, but there is no timeline as to when that is and he wouldn't be able to do any casual work in the meantime (and we can't cover our bills on unemployment alone). So it's pretty much a game of chicken. And he can't "quit" because then he doesn't qualify for unemployment and the 2 companies for this type of work are sister companies and have an agreement not to poach each others employees, so even though the other company wants him (and are free to give him casual work while he's laid off) DH is afraid they won't be able to "hire" him if he quits because it could be considered them taking him.... It's so fucked up. He wants to go to the labour board about it but he's afraid because they aren't unionized so he has zero protection and they (both companies) could decide he's a trouble-maker and just not call him.

vino I'm so very sorry for the loss of your dad. I've worked with patients with ALS, and damn, does it suck. Is there a favorite memory of your dad you want to share with us? I'm glad you're with B today who seems to have quite a sensitive side. Big hugs.

So we are on day 5 of potty training and it's going pretty good. But last night shocked me.
DS came into my room at 330am, woke me up, told me he needed to go pee, held it the whole time, went pee, and then went back to bed! I was so impressed! Maybe we won't need the 80 overnight pull ups I just bought!

Happy birthday, amberlie! danib I just don't even know what to say. All of this is so shitty and sooo shady. Like it's hard for me to imagine how it can be legal for them to play games like that. Obviously I am a total outsider to the situation but it just makes me ragey.

Well my dreams of salvaging this day have been dashed. The cloud is now down completely so I can't access anything from my laptop at home, and no one at my office can access anything either.
I have about 3.5 hours until I need to leave for my friend's party. Both of my kids are napping and my nanny is here so I can technically leave and do anything I want. Pedicure maybe? Or maybe I'll just nap for several hours. Maybe read a book? I feel so lost having actual free time to spend!

Maybe we won't need the 80 overnight pull ups I just bought! That's awesome!! DS1 sleeps like a rock at night, so I'm thinking it'll be a while before his body wakes him at night. But we've been doing the potty training thing for just over a week and it's going pretty well! I still have to remind/ask him if he needs to go, but once I do he jumps up and runs into the bathroom.

M just realized she can click her bottom teeth and top tooth together and it is the worst sound I've ever heard. ::shudders:: Oh just wait til she has more teeth and grinds them back and forth. A bunch of N13ers went through that delightful phase, including B...utter torture.

vino Lots of hugs. dashook I'm sorry the day was such a bust. I hope tonight is great! danib That is really fucked up. It seems like that shouldn't be legal. What an awful way to treat people. Happy birthday amberlie!! jubilantsquirrel I also like the 1st one, but I can think of a few colors that would look great with the 2nd. So both? Whoa sophiegrace. That's some heat. Hope your pictures go/went ok!

Dh and I went to a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse for the first time in forever. It was really fun! We split a pizza there and saw The Big Sick which I enjoyed. My mom watched the girls and they seemed to have a good time.
It's nap time now and I'm thinking I'm going to watch episode 6 of Big Little Lies.
I was thinking about something I wanted to say but now I can't remember what it was. Oh well.

Like 5 houses were just listed on Redfin in my neighborhood and it's making me want to sell ours.
