I’m so sorry peachsmama, what an awful thing to have to see and deal with. vino that all sounds so amazing! I’m jealous! tgrimes oh no! Sick again?? I’m so sorry! Thanks everyone for the vertigo advice. Dh said he feels completely fine today, so who knows. I’m also in a funky mood, but I usually am on mondays. I just hate when the weekend is over and I have the whole week stretching in front of me. Lol, I’m usually ok by Wednesday because then I feel like the weekend is in sight! And this week is crazy, we have baseball/tball games or practice every single night.

joelies and jewels, we have a lot of the same concerns here. Josie is very much in her head. She's actually having such a hard time right now and I'm awful with anxiety issues so I feel like I'm contributing to them bc I constantly say the wrong thing in an effort to help. I can relate to this, too. It seems like Dude is just the type to have trouble finding joy in everyday things and I suspect that's something he'll always have trouble with. We take the same approach as you, joelies and hope we can help him more as he matures and has an easier time explaining things.

I'm sorry about your brother's dog, peachsmama. So hard for everyone to have to see that. Poor dog. @sands I feel Iike Vitamin C serum and The Ordinary EGCG solution has helped my dark circles.

OMG guys. I lost my shit on the contractor. I called them about 20 minutes ago for an update and they told me that they had just called the guy who was supposed to be here this morning and had sent him a text an hour ago, and they hadn't heard from him. I asked if there was no other crew that they could send and she said the other guy in the area had called in sick so they had to reschedule all his appointments. The next dates available were 5/27. The 27th!!!
I told her I was very frustrated, that I had taken the day off work to wait and I was worried this was how the rest of the week was going to go. She asked what else we have scheduled. Um, you are scheduled at my house 4 out of 5 days and you don't even know? She barely apologized and said I'd hear from her by the end of the day, which I know I won't.
I called the local Home Depot we bought all this through and talked to the flooring manager. She called and talked to the contractor as well and they said they would try to get someone out tomorrow, otherwise, it would be the 27th. Fuck no it won't. I have all the stuff. I can find someone to install tile this week. I told the local manager that she needed to let me know my options because I'm frustrated and am not waiting until the end of the month, for product we paid for over a month ago.
I'm beyond angry.

My best friend had her baby last week. I'm taking dinner over later. She just texted me, she apparently forgot to tell HR where she works that she was pregnant lol. She works for a large hospital. So her supervisors knew. But no one told HR.

Chase's doctor squeezed him in with 3 days notice - very much counter to his own policy - because his ears were so bad. And he was a brand new patient. Adding in an extra 15 minute procedure isn't a huge deal, especially when you consider how many parents show up late or didn't have their kids fast, etc. Remind me - is he just getting new tubes or are they doing something else as well?

yummeecookee , I know I've said this before, but sometimes I prefer when MH is OOT. It's terrible to say, and I hate the fact that when he's out, I have no options (like I can't ever go to the store by myself or with just 1 kid), but more often than not, S behaves so much better when it's just me! This. MH is OOT at the end of this week and I kinda can't wait. It's been over 4 months since he has been away and I think its too long. M's behavior is much better when he's gone and although I don't have help, I'm okay with it for a few days.

MH has ZERO scheduled time away for at least 1 year. ONE EFFING YEAR! This is the longest time in the 11 years we've been together that he will be home. ::breathes into paper bag::

Just to keep live blogging the lack of work being done on the reno today...the flooring manager at the local store called me back and said the contractor is trying to rent a van for the guys whose van broke down this morning. If I don't hear from them by 4:45, I'm to call her back so she can contact them.
I'm pretty sure no one wants me to talk to the contractor anymore. And it's day one of (no)work.

Hey hey! Work has been non-stop today. You all in a grumpy mood was me last week. I just couldn't kick the funk I was in. Things finally turned around Friday. This week is starting out better. I have two more patient's then I'm out. I'm planning to go to the gym since we have leftovers for dinner. I need to go today and tomorrow because I'll be picking the boys up for the rest of the week while MH is away.

tgrimes did you ever get the culture back? That’s so frustrating mwhip. I’m having flashbacks of my experience with Empire.

I had a hearing for a speeding ticket so my parents were picking C up. I got dismissed right away so now I’m waiting at my parents for C and for my mom to make dinner. I offered to pick him up but they said no because C was expecting them.
