I got home an hour late tonight because my fucking train decided to skip my stop and just not pick us up. Thankfully my parents took the kids out to eat. Then as I was giving the kids a bath, the water turned brown which means there was most likely a water main break nearby, so that was fun....
But, H just gave me a good back massage, and now I’m sitting on my new stools with wine typing on my iPad/keyboard that I never use because I never had a place to rest it comfortably.

We are suppose to get 1-2 inches of precipitation this weekend. They have no idea how much of that will be rain or how much will be snow because 1. It’s still early and 2. The temp is forecasted to be right around freezing. According to google, on average 1 inch of precipitation equals 13 inches of snow. We are in the rain then snow area. Hopefully they can get a better idea as the day gets closer. I will cross my fingers for rain!

I am feeling pretty accomplished with house work today. Cleaned out fridge (yay trash night). Though I need to do a good and thorough cleaning on it soon. 2 loads of dishes through the dishwasher. 5 loads of laundry (all out away except for H's). Cleaned my side if the room up. Made the bed. Made dinner. Cleaned up dinner. Got trash together minus reclycles and litter boxes.
Tomorrow will probably be 4-5 loads of laundry as well so I can get the kids bedding washed and also towels and bathroom rugs.
Just told H we need to focus on taxes Thursday. I usually have them done by now, but with my unsuccessful venture into Mary Kay, I have to deal with that and claiming my office finally.

Oh DS, you are quickly starting the day off on the wrong foot with your attitude.

Hi everyone! Hi kaeguri! Just sitting on the couch with the baby, she's sleeping. DH and E are still in bed...E had a rough night. I think DH and I should split a bottle of wine when his last 2 molars finally make it through. All the pregnant mamas, just hold on! Preg with a toddler is no joke.

It's Wednesday. The sun is shining, and we're halfway through the week! I had a dream that it was snowing again today and the two of us were complaining about it here. 😂 So glad that was not real life.

good morning everyone! I finally feel the grief fog lifting a little bit. I went in and asked for my raise and promotion yesterday. I got both but jury is still out on how much of a raise. I think my negotiation shocked them a bit but oh well. armpants I hope you get some rest. Betweenthelines default parenting/householding is huge. We talk about it at work sometimes between me and the 2 other women.

coconutbacon, I'm just here freezing my ass off constantly because I've decided to act as though winter doesn't exist and wear spring clothing. It feels party stupid and partly like I'm making spring happen.

Baby is 3 weeks already. Time is flying. I'm taking 12 weeks for ML. I'm dreading returning to work.
My dad will stay admitted again today/tonight and they will trend labs and make a decision on treatment tomorrow. Apparently he's in a bad mood. I don't blame him. He's been through so much.

They definitely did not give me the raise I was asking for but instead proposed to give me a smaller raise and then pay for my gas since I commute an hour each way. I would have to pay taxes on the income anyway so that is actually much more of a win win for both of us. It will cost them less to get me that money and it means I get more out of it. Did not see that coming!

My 6 week PP check-up was yesterday. I have a laceration that still needs time to heal, apparently. The doc said I COULD resume sex again, but to be careful. I have no desire tho. Husband does. I told him that I still have stitches that need healing (not a lie) and that the doc said to wait at least a week (white lie). No remorse.
Also, the paid portion of my maternity leave is over and I'm entering the leave without pay portion, so this will be interesting. I'm a little nervous (especially as we just had to have a brand new fence installed due to a storm destroying our old one, and it was NOT cheap).

I’m feeling a bit emotionally drained tonight. We had a big meeting with our HR director and we will be firing the girl on my team. Just waiting to find out exactly when this will happen. Apparently they don’t like to fire people on a Friday because of increased risk of suicide. So either tomorrow or Monday. I hate the situation all around. I just don’t understand why people can’t just do their damn job. And then the impact it will have the rest of the team....sigh...i’m Also super salty about the fact that this particular staff is starting to talk shit about me and trying to play me and the other supervisor against each other. Bitch you are losing this game.
Anyways, late day at work and now I’m going to go soak in the tub with a tea (no wine because we are whole 30 again....sigh). We are also supposed to get some bad weather tomorrow, so I’m kinda hoping for an excuse to work from home. We will see.

redandblue, that sounds like a really rough situation. I hope the atmosphere at work improves and that your whole 30 leaves you energized.

I'm sorry redandblue, those situations are always tough. Knowing it's going to happen and waiting is the worst. I hope things improve at work after she is gone.

shellyr, I hope your dad's condition starts to improve. Is he tolerating the transplant okay? Congratulations CestLaVie! Sorry work is so stressful redandblue. I hope you don't have to ride this out until Monday.

Maybe you were having a premonition about me. Because I’ll likely be complaining this weekend.

girlonabike, I hope the next part of your leave goes well a doesn’t create too much financial stress. It’s awful that even as a civil servant you aren’t afforded more paid leave.

Did a spin workout this morning. I work late today so I’m glad I got a workout in. It was semi private (only me and one other person)!

redandblue, I'm sorry. But at least the toxic atmosphere will clear up at work. Let's focus on the positive and hopefully it won't be as draining on you. Do you have to be a part of the firing? I hope not, that is always the worst.

I am trying out piyo this week. It makes me feel not flexible at all. lol. I will also be going running after dinner tonight with a friend of mine.
I took A to the park yesterday and we had chick-fil-a for dinner and meet up with my bff who's daughter is the same age. We love how they are like bff's too. It's too cute.
