New randoms?

[armpants]

Come on everyone, give a quick update.

[armpants]

I've been so busy between work and M. I'm making it a focus to not be on my phone until after he goes to bed. Some days are better than others.

M has been dealing with diarrhea for nearly two weeks, sui that's been fun. But in good news I got a promotion and nice raise at work!

[armpants]

CestLaVie I saw your post in the royals thread about your anniversary trip! Tell me more!

[flippinchica]

I have had some GI issues for this week. I feel better today so hopefully that sticks. I even poas to be sure (negative, phew)
Work is pretty busy. Ds1 is in threenager mode. Super sweet one minute and a hellion the next.
Ds2 is 9 months and very mobile. He is pulling up all over.
I'm trying not to have a panic attack daily about the upcoming election and then feel like I'm being ott.

[flippinchica]

Congrats on the promotion armpants!

[armpants]

flippinchica everything politics and election puts me at an 11 right now, but I keep following along. Really hoping to see some change in the midterms.

Heeeyyyy, pass me all the coffee. A had a bad dream and came running into my room. Then 10 mins later C was up wanting milk. Then 10 mins later he was up again because his stomach hurts and he pooped himself. TIL, i do not miss poopy smelly diapers. C then preceded to be up every 20 mins until 4 am. He got up and pooped in potty at one point then had diarrhea this morning. Still complaining his stomach hurts and he wants to go to the doctor. The kid LOVES the doctor. I sent him to daycare.

H has been traveling this entire month it feels like. He was home last weekend for like 3 days. He's in DC right now and comes home Sunday. Then on Monday him and I are heading to Philly for a quick anniversary trip away. We are going to relax, play tourist, see a concert (Big Data) and have a nice dinner. I will squeeze in a couple of runs hopefully each morning.

[armpants]

I hope C feels better and no daycare calls RunsforWineandCarbs!

Well looks like flippinchica wrote my update! lol
I haven't poas yet but I feel like I need to, just so I can stop worrying. I've been feeling a little off for a few weeks and I keep thinking my period is about to start but nothing. Maybe my body is trying to gear up for it and just can't quite get there. 
I'm off work today and sent the kids to day care. This is going to be the longest time I've had to myself since V was born on Feb 6! So of course I'm doing major cleaning. Oh and getting a massage!

Congrats on the promotion armpants!
Hoping for less poop today RunsforWineandCarbs. Ugh.

We are going to London in February! That's the plan anyway It's our 10 year wedding anniversary and we are going for a week kidless. I think we will get an AirBnB and see all the things! I am so excited.

We were going to go somewhere hot but both of us want to do something different and we both love harry potter so going to take a tour of all the studios and everything!

[CestLaVie]

Just listened to my coworker shit talk me on a conference call he didn't think I was on. I feel embarrassed for him but basically I'm working myself up to tear him a new one later.

I don't like confrontation but this is totally bullshit.

[armpants]

Fuck that guy CestLaVie! Definitely don't let him get away with that.

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

CestLaVie,


Did others know you were on the call?

[CestLaVie]

CestLaVie ,

Nope because I was first on the call then 2 joined and are started shit talking me immediately. then it felt awkward to interupt. then at the end they say, is anyone else on?
"Yup I am here."



I handled it but now that it's done I feel like crying. It is hard enough for a woman to get some respect around here without this shit from my own coworkers. 

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

CestLaVie, yep. so you announced yourself at the end. i bet it was returned with silence. man that sucks. I'm sorry.

[armpants]

CestLaVie I'm sorry you had to deal with that crap. I rarely hope that gurt feels like the gigantic ass he is.

[CestLaVie]

Thanks ladies I hope he does too. He came and apologized but I am definitely feeling a way about it.

[CestLaVie]

happy friday everyone! Can't wait for the weekend!


update: talked to my boss. He was very upset with my coworker and is going to speak to him so that's good. Tried to stay away from feelings and just point out that it makes the company look bad and it makes me look bad. Especially when I'm second in charge and if my coworker has to miss a meeting and then I have to run it, what kind of respect am I going to get?
I feel much better about the situation and like I handled it without being a pushover. win.

We booked our anniversary trip!! Change of plans from London, we are headed to Mallorca Spain! Ridiculously excited.

[armpants]

That's going to be an amazing trip CestLaVie!

[easternshoregirl]

Yay CestLaVie! I've never been to Mallorca but I'm sure it is beautiful! 
When are you guys going?

Feb 15! It's our 10 year wedding anniversary and considering the rough patches we had been through and the leg break on the 5th anniversary trip, we are really going all out for this one haha.

[Betweenthelines]

Heyo, I have been so busy so I've been lurking mostly. My friends bachelorette party this past weekend was so so much fun and I still need like 14 hours more of sleep.

H has his followup with the oncologist last week and is getting an MRI this AM to check for any growths after the last scare we had earlier this year with the growth on his appendix/colon. He has to get them every 6 or so months until told otherwise.

I also took off tomorrow so I can go to DD's school Halloween parade at 2:15. DS has one too, and of course it's at the same time, but I don't feel as bad not going to his because my mom is going and my MIL works there.. so.. he has people there for him at least. No one was going to DD's and this at least gives me a chance to get a dinner made and ready so we can eat and go ToTing earlier.

Hope everyone is doing good!!

RunsforWineandCarbs, your Philly trip looked like fun!

[CestLaVie]

armpants hows your new promotion going?

flippinchica are you feeling any better?

[RunsforWineandCarbs]

Betweenthelines, trip was fun. the extreme hangover last wednesday was worth it and staying in a 2 bedroom apt instead of a hotel was so much better! but now im sick. boo.
