Where's Wednesday?

It's almost 10am on the west coast and no thread for today? Slackers!

I just made it to work a little bit ago. The pedi suctioned out H's nose & ears and sent a culture to the lab. I start drops in both ears for 10 days. I have a prescription for Bactrim if I haven't heard from the dr by Friday and H isn't getting better.

I had B’s parent teacher conference today. I was a ball of nerves but I think it turned out ok. Initially, she was concerned about his shyness but I told her that he is a completely different kid when he’s not at school. She was also unaware that he receives speech therapy so I’m glad I got to mention that. But basically his shyness really holds him back. He is so smart and can do so much but because he’s so shy he doesn’t shine at school. It breaks my heart a little. He didn’t score well on the screenings they did but again it’s because he can’t really show them what he’s capable of. I really hope he breaks out of his shell. I’m not sure what I can do to help him.

The entire time we were there, he was playing with J in the room just like he does when at home. The teacher was amazed at how open and comfortable he was and how much he was talking. I told her that is how he is all the time and she was really put at ease. I also feel more at ease. I just need to instill some confidence in him somehow.

I really hope both H and M can finally kick these infections.

waitwhat I'm glad you feel a bit better. He probably just needs more time in a classroom setting to feel comfortable. M still gets shy when she's around other people.

Poor H. I hope he gets better.

waitwhat That's gotta be hard when you know they're capable of more but I'm glad the teacher got to see him a little differently today. I'm sure it'll get better with time.

Hope they all feel better tgrimes.

I'm working from home today. I have no meetings on my calendar so I was planning on putting C down for a nap and jumping in the shower. But C didn't want to nap yet and then H said he would come home for lunch and right before he did, I got a phone call asking if I can join a conference call. At some point C ran into the room yelling "MAMA" so I tried to mute my phone real quick in the middle of answering a question. It was fun. Luckily it was only 2 people on the call at that point and it is someone I've known for years so it wasn't a big deal. H asked if we've gotten to the point where I can't WFH and watch C, but really it just depends.

Oops. Totally posted in Tuesday without even noticing that it's Wednesday.

I'm sorry tgrimes. Poor H.

[tgrimes]

Y'all. I'm so embarrassed. My attorney just pointed out that I have 3 tampons sticking out of my back pocket. I put them in there this morning to put in my purse. I went to the ENT, daycare, gas station and grocery store like that. No one said anything.

Awesome.

[elle]

Oh tgrimes, that is quite embarrassing. Maybe no one else noticed?

[starbuck]

We have 4 houses lined up for Saturday, which is also H's Bday. Should be a good day.

H says he wants to tell his mom tonight that we are making alternate plans, but she's not home and we have no idea when she'll return. I also have to work on some stuff tonight so may be another conversation between the two of them (or maybe not happen at all).

Hi I'm here finally.

I went into work today (left early Monday and called out suck yesterday). I worked most of the day but left early again.

I just want it to be the weekend.

I have no idea why, but I’m always so embarrassed with my tampons.

At M’s two year she opened up the diaper bag, grabbed the one I had in the front compartment, and proudly handed it to her (male) pedi. I’m getting hot and red in the cheeks just thinking about it.

Anywayyyyy are you doing ok? This is all a lot and has been a lot for...idk...the last two years? You always handle it with grace and an amazing KOKO attitude. And since I’m someone who falls apart when a breeze is blowing the wrong way I think very highly of how strong you’ve been.

[sophiegrace]

Has this been a stinker of a week for anyone else? Of course I work Saturday so it’s really only my Tuesday, but it needs to be Sunday. Bahhh.

I might be reaching, but does anyone have any experience with nondisclosure agreements? It seems pretty straightforward, but there’s a lot of tiny writing in a language that H and I don’t deal with. I’m not sure if I’m missing something or if they’re really NBD and just a matter of pretending like what’s being talked about isn’t being talked about.

I have signed a few but they were REALLY simple and straight forward "do not discuss anything revealed in this meeting" type of shit. They were NBD IME. But I imagine yours may be more complex if it has to do with possible investors in the business.

I’m not sure if it’s actually complex or just three pages of word salad making me think it’s complex. I keep trying to look through it to find something we need to question, but it really just seems like paragraph after paragraph of finding different ways of saying, “don’t say anything to anyone”. Is that really all this type of thing is? Legal stuff always throws us for a loop. So many words. Too many words.

Are you feeling better? Has the great east coast head cold made it west?

Send it to me. I can have one of my attorneys look it over if you want.

[starbuck]

There was no screaming. I mean she still kind of pushed back that we should try to make it work but ya. It could have been worse.

I am.

It was bound to happen, last week everyone on my team minus one person was sick. But I'm feeling better tonight, thankfully. I for sure am guilty of getting man colds. Although I'll take sinus irritation over a stomach bug any day of the week.

Yo me too. My poor husband. I can’t just sit down so I keep trying to do everything, but making sure to remind him again and again now terrible I feel. It’s got to be insufferable. Hah! I’m so glad you’re feeling better!
