Hi all - I'm behind at work, so trying to be productive today. I reactivated class pass last night and went to a spin class.. they had a half price for 3 month promo and I am going to the beach in 3 weeks, so need to get myself in gear. Cher how's the peleton?! I saw in your IG stories and am so jealous! I love it! I do OTF in the morning before the kids wake up and the peloton once they go to bed. The little one is consuming every second of my life (hence my extended absence) so it’s amazing to have something I can do for myself and I don’t need to leave the house for it. And it’s not drinking! (But I still do that.)

Oh god! My friends’ friend just won 91.000 in a lottery! My friend and I just spend the last half hour chatting about what we’d do with the money 😂😂😂.

M’s school is closed on Friday and Thursday they have a class party and early dismissal. They do this for every damn holiday!
I am one of very few working moms and I always feel guilted into going even though it means taking off two days.
But I am making the most of it and Thursday M and I are going to a nice hotel in Galveston for the night so we can hang at the pool all day Friday and then go to our friend’s house there for the weekend with a group

There's an egg hunt at the arcade on Friday. Now I hope I have the day off and the dc is closed so that I can take Cadence.

Hi! I went to my grandpa's funeral and had wine at the lunch after. Now I'm back at the hospital and so tired!

I have never heard of closing for Good Friday or Easter Monday. I will be working. C will be at school.
This morning he was watching a show on my phone in the car and I let him watch it while walking into school. Then he tried to pop it in his backpack and started bawling when I told him I needed my phone back. Then he cried for 10 mins that he didn't have a phone and it's not fair. Then he took a toy phone and stuffed that in his backpack. I'm hoping I have an old phone at home to give him because he is going to lose it when he realizes I took that phone out of his backpack tonight at pick up. Sigh. We were going to get his haircut after work but I don't have it in me tonight. Maybe tomorrow.
Work has been nuts. My boss is crazy and wants to meet on Wednesday because we haven't had time to catch up (her words). We spent a week together in Omaha a few weeks back. What more can we talk about? I know its just going to be her bitching about everyone and I just don't want to hear it. Wednesday is the one day a week I work in her office and I dread it every week. Hopefully we can stop this nonsense soon.

tgrimes I haven’t been around much - what is the pre-K letter you’re waiting on? HISD has a lottery for their pre-k program. I don't qualify for the free pre-k, but they have slots for tuition based pre-k. The way prices were last year, it'd save me $100/mo. They haven't decided on the prices yet for the 2018-2019 school year. It's at the elementary school we're zoned to and they just built a brand new building. It'd be great if it works out, but not the end of the world if it doesn't, since she can just stay at the school she's at now.

M's preschool is at a Baptist church so that's why they're closed. I had never heard of Easter Monday until going to this school and I was raised Baptist. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

My DC is closed Friday, and it is not religious at all. I assume it's b/c many of the teachers are? Who knows. I actually don't remember it being closed in prior years but I could just be forgetting.

Whine ahead:
I have hemorrhoids from hell and SPD so bad I can barely walk. I almost fell down earlier the pain was so sharp. FFMC? I might ask to be induced at 39. I can't handle 6 more weeks of this.
Also, we STILL haven't started our room addition. I called Dog knows how many architects and nobody got back to me. I finally got a hold of one through a family recommendation two weeks ago and I'm still waiting for him to send me a proposal. He said it's coming but he's very busy. How long do I have to wait for this?!
So now I'm clearly going to be lucky if I even have the project approved through the city by the time I'm on Mat leave and going to be trapped in a construction zone with a newborn.
Awesome.

My daycare also follows the school district holidays & inclement weather days. The school district doesn't call it Good Friday anymore though. It's just a "spring holiday."

And if he takes this long just to get a quote from how long will he take to get the actual work done?

And if he takes this long just to get a quote from how long will he take to get the actual work done? I know! Supposedly it will take him two weeks to produce plans from the day the contract is signed. It will take the city at least two weeks to review plans. So best case scenario, I get a proposal today and then we can start four weeks from now...Two weeks before my EDD. My only saving grace is my SD and stepbrother are doing the framing and they know I'm in a rush so they'll get it done as quickly as they can. My SD is coming out to CA just to help me with this so he won't have any other jobs going on at the time.

My big kids are suppose to be off Friday then all next week but we are over a snow day so they are deciding tonight what day they have to go. Puppies are harder than babies.

Now that you've moved, is meeting for dinner occasionally off the table or can we still make that happen? Definitely off the table j/k I get a “night off” every week. MH does pickup/dinner/bedtime and I do whatever I want. So I can stay in town after work and meet up!

How frustrating about the extension for your home, FX it gets sorted out soon, too much stress for a short time cagoldi, Can you take anything for the hemorrhoids? I had them bad with J and it was awful, if you dont have medicine apple cider vinegar works also........or so I've 'heard'

I am off work Friday and Monday, daycare is closed as well both days.
MH has the next two weeks off because everyone had so much leave to burn due to tours. So he wins. Or maybe he doesnt because I gave him a list and he has some online school courses as well.

Poor X. Every time we brush his teeth, he gets so upset he vomits. I don't know what to do. I'll ask the pedi at his 18 month well-check Wednesday but it's probably just something he needs to grow out of.
