wedding no heat yet, he said they are basically the lowest priority on the list for Facilities staff. They’ve got space heaters going and I think everyone is just wearing lots of layers! Gee, bet that makes them feel good knowing they are low priority. Lol.

We’ve been going at a snails pace on the bus to work, yes people it’s cold and snowy but we’re used to this shit. I expect better. And If people aren’t comfortable driving THEN GET OFF THE ROAD.

mwhip that stinks! My dad is a recruiter and had a candidate recently who failed the drug test, essentially bc this guy drinks water all day non-stop; apparently being overly hydrated is a red flag bc it raises the suspicion that you are trying to flush something from your system 🤷🏻♀️ so LSS he had to retake it and all was fine. I hope it’s something like that that is a simple fix, if your H still wants the position.

wedding I’m sorry your still having so much trouble with your shoulder. I hope your appt today is helpful! Re little girls and haircuts: Sierra’s first haircut was at the ripe ol age of 4 days old. The neurosurgeon that did her surgery didn’t even attempt to make it look ok. But he did give us an envelope with her “first haircut “ in it. Then 3 weeks later for surgery #3 they moved her shunt to the other side of her head. So she had a Mohawk with a mullet in the back. It was...something. I joked with the neurosurgeon that they obviously don’t have a semester on cosmetology in their studies. So when she was about 6 months old I had a hairdresser friend even it up for me.

Morning! Work was busy but great. The idiot manager did it again. He handed off a project to the team that will be maintaining it and told them to go to me for everything. I know nothing of this project I just paid the past due invoices. I can't wait until he's gone.

After three days at home alone with the kids (during the day) I’ve run out of ideas what to do. I’ve painted, cooked, played board games, drew, played with wooden animals, build duplo zoos, took strolls into town. Can’t wait for Dh to get home and join in.

mwhip, if that is the reason, i really hope they would work with him on that. I had to take a new hire drug test for a previous job. It was a few days after I had been in a car accident so I had been taking Vicodin for pain. I told the examiner and brought in my bottle. I guess nothing cane out of it since I was able to start. vino, what is the song?

mwhip that's not cool. I will say for me to take Vicodin I had to jump through hoops at my work even though it's a prescription. Oh, he doesn't take the pain pills during the day at work. He works on heavy equipment and could jeopardize his safety, as well as the person who's truck he is working on. His current boss is well aware that if the pain gets bad enough that he needs a pain pill during the day, he will just take the rest of the day off, unpaid, and go home. As soon as he walks in the door, he is taking a hydrocodone or tramadol, depending on pain level. I believe the urine test was completed in early December, so ~2 months post surgery that can take up to a full year of recovery. I'm just frustrated for him that he has done so much to try to get this job, they were talking about how badly they wanted him to start as soon as he could, now this. He told me it's a blow to his ego. I told him to be patient. When we get the letter from the background check company, we can send an email to the company.

flamingo, have you cut C's hair before? I've never cut L's and have been wondering if I should be giving her a little trim here and there or anything. I'm not going to give her bangs because the poor girl has some funky cowlicks in the front that I think will be easier to manage with no bangs. No, other than a couple little snips with manicure scissors, she hasn’t had a real cut. When I took B in last time the stylist said something about most little girls get their first cut at 3. But I feel like my kids have a lot more hair than ‘average’ so Idk. It’s just awkward now...my goal is a little bob/pageboy that I can scoop up on one side with a bow, but We aren’t there yet. I don’t know if anything can be done to fix the Joe Dirt look she’s rocking while the sides grow in, though. ETA: my friend’s daughters both had crazy hair as newborns that stayed that way the first year or so. With her second, she said she took her in and had it trimmed/evened up at some point, and her hair grew in much better and more evenly than her older daughter’s. So that’s been in the back of my mind... sorry for the novel, I have a lot of thoughts about this! H had her first haircut at 2. Her hair is really thick and I don’t think there was any difference in the rate of growth or thickness after the cut. The ends weren’t as straggly I suppose. She did lose the little bit of curl she had. Eta: no haircuts for S for a long time. Because of the curl you can’t tell but her hair is getting so long. When it’s wet in the tub it comes almost halfway down her back. My kids’ hair grows straight forward so they pretty much always have a ponytail or clip in.

mwhip that’s crap that they aren’t communicating with him. It would leave a bad taste in my mouth about employment with them. I hope you guys get some answers soon.

I hope S feels better lfig Ouch wedding , your shoulder sounds painful. Do you need a referral to physio? Or are you waiting to see what the Dr says today? This appointment is with an orthopedic surgeon to see if I need surgery. I don't know if he will want to do an MRI. I am hoping not. Then I think the plan would be PT. I need to ask for more pain meds since I am going to be away next week and I hate doing that. I always feel guilty, like I am drug seeking. But I don't want to be in Disney and not have anything if its bad.

Morning! We had a good time at the wild game last night, but the night started out poorly. Part of this package was a shuttle service (basically a party bus... for 4 people lol) Well, the bus was supposed to pick us up at 5. The game started at 7 and its about an hour and a half to get there. Long story short, the driver didn't show up for work, I had to call the owner several times and he had to call in another driver. We didn't leave town until 6. I was not pleased. We missed the whole 1st period. I don't care that much about the game, but we lost an hour of our fun night out so it was a bummer.
We had drinks on the bus and at the game and made an 11pm stop at mcdonalds. I feel gross today.

trtlcrzy, L's hair is halfway down her back as well. Like S though, it's got curl to it so it doesn't look that long.

Every now and then I hear about couples who work together and I think how do you not go insane or divorce? My parents running this business until I start - I think that daily..

Morning!
Just work today and straightening up the house. Exciting stuff.
Atticus wet the bed for maybe the third time ever. Not sure what's going on since the other two times he did it he was sick, guess I'll just watch the fluids a little more closely before he goes to sleep tonight.

Well I’m glad I took S to the dr. She just finished 10 days of antibiotics on Saturday for strep. Well, apparently it didn’t kill it totally so a new antibiotic was prescribed. Plus she’s wheezing and has some inflammation in the lungs. So a steroid and breathing treatments for that.

Hi all! mwhip that sucks, I’m sorry for your dh and hope they clarify everything soon. Re: working with your spouse: I think I could do it, as long as we didn’t report to each other. Big no to dh ever being my “boss” in any aspect. Nothing much here. Lucas has speech, which is an hour away from the house. I thought about cancelling since my dr doesn’t want tmw venturing too far from home at this point, but I didn’t want him to miss it. After that I will drop him off at school and then just a lazy day at home. It’s rainy here and I didn’t sleep well again last night so hopefully I can get in a nap.
