My dear friend's baby shower is tonight. A Wednesday night from 6-9 PM. I'm not sure if there was some kind of scheduling thing but am I alone in thinking this is an odd day/time for a shower? Sounds like a B list shower. Both she and her H have very small families and this is their only shower, combining both families and friends, all genders of friends invited.

I don't think I would mind a shower from 6-9 on a week night. I'd rather that then wasting my weekend at one. Also, I have never taken a staycation before and I am enjoying having a week off with nothing to do. It's going to be hard to start a new job on Monday. Another new one? Did I miss this?

I think I see a wrinkle. 😩😩 . I found like 6 grey hairs on my head on my birthday this year. I was pretty upset about it. Wrinkles are happy marks. I have lines next to my eyes that I like to think of as smile lines. I turned 34 this year and it is like a light switch I now have seen several grey hairs

I really need a morning to myself to get my hair done and shop for clothes that fit me.

I laid in bed for an extra half hour trying to decide if I should call in sick or not. So I'm at work, just feeling crummy.

I just got tickets to see Michael Che. Also the mother fucking world cup starts tomorrow. Did you see the US is hosting 2026 World Cup with Mexico and Canada? Awkward because they both hate us but cool because I want to go see some matches in person! We were in South Africa when they hosted a few years ago, neither DH nor I watch soccer but we went to a few random games and it was so awesome.

So my insurance is still rejecting DD’s medicine. WTF. They say it is “too high a dose”
I didn’t know that they were doctors.

Another new one? Did I miss this? LOL. Yeah....the other job was a contract job that I thought would turn permanent, but I wasn't so sure after starting. It was a risk that was worth taking, but it was going to be a long 6 months of dealing with a ton of unorganized BS and then leaving right during their busiest time if they didn't hire me on full time. I figured it was best to leave while I was still training. I had a client from my old firm reach out to another firm and they basically hunted me down. Met with them and immediately knew it was what I wanted. I guess I'm meant to work in small law firms. This one is at least twice the size of my last. A whole 10 people! Yay!! Glad you found a place for you that feels right.

Someday my whole body is not going to hurt 24/7 and I am really looking forward to it. I spent 15 minutes cutting up a watermelon and now I have ice packs on my feet and hips. I promise it will get better!

Just woke up after sleeping for 10 hours, had a quickie, and now waiting on DD to get up so I can go downstairs and make coffee. Not a bad start to this rainy Wednesday.

I send my mom and MIL flowers or an edible arrangement for Mother's Day every year. My step-dad gets a card, maybe, and a phone call. Nothing for FIL.

I have lines next to my eyes that I like to think of as smile lines. Same. They coincide w/ the infancy of my baby. Thanks DD. You officially gave me greys.

Like, it made me want that so badly but then I feel bad because DH gets one day off a week and I want to spend it with him, and when we're already paying our nanny overtime for basic childcare, I don't want to be paying her time and a half so I can get a haircut /mani/pedi / massage / shopping spree day, so then it loops back to well DH can watch N, but then I don't get to see my H on his one day off. FUCK I WANT A VACATION

Do you guys still get Mother's Day and Father's Day presents for your own parents? I get them gift cards in a card because I never know what to get them. Or anyone, really, unless they've asked for something specific.

pobre I am PUMPED for the World Cup! Colombian here, so I can't wait for the game next week and then N and I can wear matching jerseys because my parents got him multiple Colombian Jerseys. They actually bought him the national jersey last year before he was born, thinking he'd fit into it this year because it's a size 12mo.... but my kid is a tank and so they brought him back a toddler size 4 jersey that awkwardly enough fits him almost well. So he can wear a slightly tight jsery or a slight big, but i can finally wear a matching outfit with my son! haha

This is a kindergarten end of year celebration. There are entire extended families of people here, people have flowers for their kids?!?! Am I in the twilight zone? It's just me here for DS since H had to work and I do not have flowers for him. I was just coming to post about this! We had my son's kindergarten graduation and people were dressed up, grandparents, flowers. I feel bad we didn't invite our parents or bring something, but it didn't really dawn on me to

I guess I need someone to send me one from there. He has a US onesie but he won't need that so...

Maybe a lot of their family & friends have a lot of weekend obligations. That's the only reason I could see for a time like that.

Like nurses/ doctors or waitresses or things like that? Sometimes my DH and I only have a random Tuesday off ::shruggy guy::

I haven’t worked Mondays in about 7 years, so normally I would meet up with my mom or dad the Monday after the holiday and take them to lunch. I always get a card, flowers, and wine for my mom (and step-mom), and baked goods, a card, and a gift card to my dad’s favorite nursery for my dad. Since we are out of state now, I’m sending my dad a card and a Home Depot gift card. It was weird to address it to him, to my house.

FUCK I WANT A VACATION It was pretty amazing and totally worth it to do one time! H had just returned from a week long work trip so I saw him a whole 2 hours before I peaced out. I see him every night though, and usually,both weekend days unless I work, so I didn't feel guilty at all. You shouldn't feel guilty for taking a half day or a night to yourself!

In this morning's staff meeting, we were told about a substantial bonus everyone is receiving in their next paycheck. I am blown away.
