I'm up. I actually had 20 full minutes to get ready this morning before my 540 alarm clock boy woke up. It's really gross here today – rainy and foggy. We're gonna hang out inside all day -- my plan is de-clutter one of the big closets in the basement while the kids play.

I had a rejection letter in my inbox this morning. They already planned interviews, but if things would change they might contact me. I met all the qualification criteria, if hadn’t wait so long sending the letter I might have gotten an interview... On top of that I had a hard talk with my boss, I went fine, but it stressed me out so much I just want to cry. I hate that I’m so insecure about my own abilities.

Were are you applying for a different job? I'm sorry things didn't work out the way you wanted them to.

guster I have a masters’ in educational and development sciences with an extra diagnostic additions (F.e iq test, diagnostic interview, adhd questionnaires, observations etc). But in my current position I don’t really do anything with that and I’d really like to. I applied for a job at a school where children that are, or about to be, high school drop outs for whatever reason, would be able to get their education back on track. The job would entail student counselling, observations, iq-tests, meeting with teachers and parents, etc.

I'm on hold with JetBlue. I haven't gotten any boarding passes yet for my flight tomorrow and my online account doesn't show the trip. I have an email confirmation from Disney travel but I want to double check everything.
C has show and tell today and this month they bring a toy that is special to them. He brought his guitar and was so excited for his day he made us leave early and sit in the parking lot. He also asked me a million times if he could be the line leader today and wouldn't accept the answer that it's up to the teacher. Hopefully he can be the leader today.
I'm not telling him we are leaving for Disney tomorrow because he will never sleep tonight. The plan is to get him to bed at 7:30 with melatonin on board so hopefully when I wake him at 3:30am he's had a good chunk of sleep. I hoping Dh and I can get in bed by 8:30.

Just got in the office and I'm packing up to go to another branch. Have to get someone's signature on about 100 pieces of paper and get back here (45 minutes each way) before the snow and ice start at noon. My boss told me to go home if it started to get bad. We have nothing on the calendar and there's no reason to risk driving home in it later.
Matthew was up a lot last night. Poor guy can't stop coughing long enough to sleep. We gave him cough medicine and had the humidifier going and propped him up, although he moves so much, he didn't stay that way. But IDK what else to do. The sitter texted me and said they were barely eating because they're coughing so much. I might just go get them around lunch time.

I'm sorry, @peach. Poor M. Benadryl and/or Motrin seem to work when my kids have a car. We haven't tried cough syrup, yet, but the mixture of the anti-inflammatory to calm thing down and the Benadryl to stop the post nasal drip seems to help.

peachsmama I’m sorry, I don’t think there’s much else you can do. My mom always kept us away from dairy when we coughed a lot, maybe some tea with honey before bed time?

Morning! I came to my parents yesterday! My moms retirement party is tonight. I’m going at 10 this morning for a massage so I’m looking forward to that. My sister gave me a gift card for it for Christmas. I was so glad they could get me in last minute! I was worried the ice would make me have to cancel but according to the news the roads aren’t bad so I don’t have to cancel! nam2013 I’m sorry. Rejection sucks! Hopefully another opportunity will present itself soon! wedding I hope you get your boarding passes soon. I’m excited for you guys to have a fun trip! How’s your shoulder doing today? Still feeling better?

Happy Friday ladies! guster no ice/snow for KC today, we got it yesterday. Our roads were all cleared, although it was 6 on my way in. Everyone who is getting this crap, be careful! There were lots of accidents locally yesterday. So take it slow and don't get it out unless necessary. Sorry about the job nam2013. I know how frustrating the process is. Keep your head up and keep looking, you will find something! wedding I'd be stressing if I didn't have boarding passes! I hope you get them soon! And yeah, I wouldn't tell C until you wake him up early tomorrow...otherwise no one will get any sleep! Enjoy the retirement party lfig! Today is payday for both me and H. I looked at my check stub because my PTO had been messed up the last check and my check is what it was prior to my raise. I talked to HR and the payroll company messed my check up. Not a big deal, it's $130. But when I checked our bank account to compare what it was to my last check, with my raise, H didn't have his check auto deposited. I sent him a check to see what's up. He's going to be livid if his company withheld all the insurance premiums he owed without talking to him, which results in no paycheck. I'm hoping for the safety of everyone at his work, that they had an issue with their payroll service and the deposit is just delayed for some reason. Otherwise, he will lose his mind.

I have the day off which I'm mixed on. Of course it's nice to have a day off, but I'd rather it be Tuesday instead of today because I have class this weekend so I'll just think of a bunch if reading and assignments I should he working on instead of enjoying it.
I'm almost finished with a group assignment I have due. I haven't heard a word from my group. I don't have an effing clue about the topic and what I'm doing and even though at least two of the guys know some of this stuff of course they're not taking over as the lead. Every.damn.time I have to do group work. I think I'll quickly put together my slides, email them to the group, and leave the rest up to them.

Thanks, guster! It's already started here, so I'm hoping my drive home from work isn't too bad! I may try and leave a bit early. There are a lot of school closed, but luckily the kids is open!

Morning! I am bringing the girls to a bounce house place in an hour. I know H will have fun, S is a wildcard. Then tonight my sister is taking the girls overnight for a sleepover so I have to get a bag packed for them. No idea what DH and I will do but I’m excited for it.

H confirmed his entire company is having issues with their payroll direct deposit. He said the mood there is VERY bad right now. I'm just glad it wasn't just him!

inthekitty Group work is THE WORST. I feel the same way and as I am in the working world longer it becomes harder because everyone’s in their routine and harder to break habits, including myself.
