Morning ladies!bI’ve cycled over 10 miles today and while that is normal on a working day it isn’t normal to do that between 08.30-13.00. It felt really inefficient. My mom watched dd this morning, did laundry and cleaned my house! So I’m sitting in the garden drinking coffee while watching the kids play.

I'm a Debbie downer today. My aunt is not doing well and they don't believe she'll make it through today. I'm a mess of emotions because of it. I don't get to see her often. She's been in a rehab facility or a hospital for the last month and a half, and I haven't been to visit because I always have at least one kid with me. I try to text her daughter, but she is inundated with people wanting to know how her mom is so I don't want to bother her too often, but also I don't want anybody to think that I don't care or am self involved. And of course, it makes me think of my mom. When my cousin texted me this morning that said that my aunt has been saying my moms name for months and saying that she wants to see her. I'm heartbroken for them.

Oh guster, my heart just broke reading that. I’m sorry 💜 Are you able to get to her today? Can YH come home to watch the kids?

Morning. I’m hoping for lots of snow melting today. Nothing really planned for the day but I’m considering taking the girls to the library.

I'm annoyed. Our CEO sent me a meeting invite this morning for a 1pm meeting today. A vendor is coming in and he knew about it last week, but of course, didn't invite me until today. So now I have to get stuff ready for this meeting.
I guess the guy I used to set across from complained to HR Friday. He was upset that he has been here 13 years and hasn't been able to get nicer furniture or a bigger office during that time. It made me laugh when they told me. Our boss is going to talk to him and tell him he needs to start doing more, or at least doing his job consistently, or he is going to start being written up.
We finally got the walls complete in the bathroom. Putting up the new light fixture was difficult since the builder didn't put an electric box in the wall to mount things. While we were hanging the light fixture, I could hear something dripping occasionally and had to break it to H that the toilet was leaking. He had taken the tank off to paint behind it, and thrown away a rubber washer in the process, which he couldn't find replacement, so he tried to make something work. Apparently the toilet isn't standard (I now know more about how far off the wall a toilet should be then I ever wanted to know) and H can't find parts for it. He was able to find one toilet at Home Depot that will work for the placement we require, so I think he is going to stop and get it on his way home from work and we will be putting in a new toilet tonight.

I might be able to drive down there this afternoon after he leaves work, but he's going to have to take days off for the wake and the funeral to watch them. It would be frowned upon by his administration to take so many days off if it's not an immediate member of the family.

guster I'm so sorry about your aunt, that is so hard. Hoping you can can over to see her. mwhip We had the same issue when installing out bathroom light fixture. I remember being on the phone with H looking at a million different options in at the hardware store as he tried top talk me through which one to get. Needless to say he had to make his own trip. trtlcrzy We got your snow! Noooooooo!

guster I am so sorry. Is there a mother's day out program you can take the kids to so you can go visit her? Or maybe they can hold the phone to her so you can talk to her? I know it wouldn't be the same as seeing her, but it would be something.

Hugs guster. Can you call and speak on speaker phone? I got a lot of closure being able to do that with my grandma. Thinking of you.

I drove all night to come home. I said my goodbyes to the house and just wanted to be home. So today will be spent emptying my overflowing car and picking up our new cat, Lady Jaye! So excited to finally be getting her home.
Also need to clean up the house. Looks like a tornado ripped through here.
Update on my foot: very bruised, but probably not broken.

Good Morning Ladies! I had a nice weekend in the city with my friend and then spent the day yesterday picking up a train table and then some stools from Ikea for the kids. I got the train table off craigslist thinking it would be nice to use it as an activity table in the basement once it's all finished. It is one of those Imaginarium ones with mountains and bridges and the guy had all the pieces. My kids played with it all day and night yesterday and all morning. Best $40 I ever spent!
Not much in other news, just staying in today because of the snow. I have a little work to catch up on, so this is probably a good time to do it.

Hugs guster. Can you call and speak on speaker phone? I got a lot of closure being able to do that with my grandma. Thinking of you. Thank you. I spoke with her this morning. And let her know we love her. I'm selfishly feeling like I might be judged for not being there. The other two families (the three sisters) are extremely close in location and the "kids" own a business together so they see each other often. Since my parents passed, we've been removed from lots of details. Not excluded, just not kept in the loop bc of lack of proximity. My cousin's husband ( my aunt son-in-law) just told me on Thanksgiving that he's been annoyed/angry with me for the last five years because I only sent flowers and a card to his moms wake, and I didn't attend the funeral. Selfishly again, that story is stuck in my head.

guster I really understand your feeling, but for what it’s worth, imo that is not selfish on your part whatsoever. It is hard having kids and not having relatives nearby to fall back on. It is also hard to be around people that cannot/will not place themselves in your shoes, or see things from your perspective.

Morning. I'm home today since N's daycare is closed for in service..it's going to be a productive day😂. I was a bit ambitious with putting away winter clothes, and now have nothing to wear since it's back in the 50s.
My sister started a maskcara makeup webpage, so I feel like I should try to do a before and after that she can post, but I'm not very good at it..
