Good luck csho!!! Oh no jlaur21! I'm so sorry to hear that. Giovanna is at bible school this morning. And then she has a fancy tea party Birthday to go to tonight. Nothing in between beside preparing for MH to get home in less than two weeks (unsure of the day yet) I start orientation for my new job on the 21st. 🎉 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry about Sunny's job jlaur21. Is it a temp layoff or permanent? I know here, the unemployment rate is so low, depending on the industry, finding a different job isn't too difficult, as long as the money is comparable. I can't imagine rearranging someone else's furniture. Is she moving sofas and beds? Cause that shit is heavy and there's no way I'd attempt to do it on my own. Our furniture has been in the same place for 2 years, no desire to move it. Except E's room when we took out the crib and put her twin bed in. Our living room and master don't allow for much different in the way the furniture is laid out though.

flamingo, It's immediate but he gets one more month of pay. mwhip It's permanent, his company just doesn't have a lot of work right now and they have been having budgeting problems. He should be able to find something relatively quickly, it's just a rough time for this to happen (not that there is ever a good time)

I would never rearrange someone's furniture, but sometimes I do it mentally. Or I'll sit there and think, "what would I do if this was *my* house?" I'll put my furniture in, imagine different paint colors/decor, etc.
Hazards of being an interior designer, I guess--even a sidelined one. My design brain never turns off.

Good Luck csho! Sorry about Sunny's job jlaur21I'm very particular about putting dishes away. DH is not. And it's clear he gets it from his mom when you look at her kitchen. I try not to nag about it since I know I'm a little crazy. I've asked nicely and DH will put them away wrong right in front of me. He might get kneed in the groan one of these days

I'm tired. Lucas started summer school, which I'm so grateful he got in, but the school about 45 minutes away. During the school year the district picks him up at our house and busses him, but since its summer there's a meeting spot for the bus kids. The meeting spot is about 30 minutes from My house and he has to be there by 6:40, which mean I have to get all the kids up by 5:45. Tomorrow I think I'm going to just drive him to school and see which is the lesser evil. Driving him will by about 1.5 hours round trip, but at least we don't have to leave the house till 7:15.

I had to make my mom promise when she stays with us she wouldn't rearrange the furniture. I use to come home and all the furniture in my living room was moved around. This is really weird. Of all the things to do, rearrange furniture? Really? I could almost see my mom doing this but I guess this is when I'm glad she's tiny. No way that all 115 pounds of her could move the stuff in my living room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm sorry, jlaur21, that stinks. One of my co-workers got laid off and found a job within a few months. He was only there for about 5 months before they decided to discontinue his entire department. Fortunately he found something within a couple weeks. It was kind of crazy there for awhile but he's so much happier now in his current job. I hope Sunny ends up in a better job, as well.

Morning! With their early morning activities, both boys were bears this morning. Actually add DH into the mix - no one wanted to get out of bed! I guess the weather IS pretty perfect for staying in bed.
I spent the morning looking into activities for our week at the Cape later this month. I'm nervous about keeping the boys occupied in our smallish, not kid-proofed rental if the weather isn't ideal. I came up with some ideas - kids' theater, library story time sessions, a mall with a play place, etc. - but it'd be so much easier if they were a couple years older. We'll make it work, one way or another.

peachsmama I don't remember if you posted about it or not but is your computer all fixed? Yes and no. Yes I can't use it but it's not right. I have to use work arounds to get in all my systems because they can't figure out why my computer is all of a sudden rejecting it. Whatever. After over a week dealing with IT, I'm just using the work arounds.

Good luck today csho!!! @jlaur I'm sorry about Sunny's job. I hope he finds something soon! I am exhausted after yesterday's craziness. But today S is at Day Care, I am off, the AC guy is coming, and MH is gone for the day. So I will catch up on my DVR and relax. I am fighting the urge to go get a pedicure and go shopping. But it's an hour drive 1 way. So by the time I drive there, get pedicure, go shopping, then drive home, half or most of my day will be gone and I will have not enjoyed any lounging at my empty house. So I think laziness is going to win and I will do nothing. But currently even though I am off, I came into the office for an hour to take care of a crisis. I am waiting for a phone call then I am out of here!

Hey all. I tweaked something in my back. It feels like any wrong move could put me down for the count. I'm walking around the office like a brittle old lady.
