No. Thursday’s are my most boring day ever.
I think we may venture out to this play cafe near my house. Or run to target. But target with two toddlers sounds like hell. So the play cafe it is.

How do you do a spoiler? I know it’s been asked multiple times but I tried to search and couldn’t find it.

I'm in a budget meeting for a huge proposal we have due tomorrow, and then I have 4 or 5 more to write before Christmas break. Ughhhhhhhhhhhh
I did hear about me coming on 5 days per week. They want to talk in January after the layoffs kick in and they have a good idea of the finances for the year. It will happen and we're going to put a date on it when we meet. So that's good.

I'm finally starting to think seriously about Christmas gifts. I figured it's about time, especially if I want to order Canvas prints for my parents. I created cards but haven't ordered them yet because in my head I will still try to get better pictures of C by the Christmas tree, but I know that's a long shot so I should just go with what in my cart.
I also need to finish shopping for my secret Santa and get that mailed out soon. AW post has been created on the private board for when people start receiving their gifts!

I’m nursing a mild fever. I think L is reacting to the Hep A and flu shots from Monday. His temp has been on a steady incline since Tuesday.
He had his 6-month evil for his ISFP and with all the new signs he’s learned in 6 months and how he was with the evaluator yesterday, he still needs to keep going (still not many words) with Speech Therapy. They kept saying how sweet and how smart he was.

starbuck Did you ever reply back to the boss that wants you back? lol yes and it's so typical. I let him know that I had concerns about going back given that the person they hired to fill the job left after 6 months, and that I remembered there being a lot of red tape and process issues that made it hard to get the work done (I was really diplomatic in my phrasing to him, I think). And that while I am not necessarily against the idea of coming back, I'd want to have some deeper conversations around all of that. His response was like "Those are great questions, let's find some time to talk about it soon." And then I told him I could talk Friday, just let me know the time, and he never responded.

I was up until midnight trying to bust out some paperwork and now have the TV, YouTube, and all the craft stuff out parenting M so that I can cook dinner and go to bed at a normal time tonight. We had music class this morning and she was just so stinking cute I could have eaten her face.

I'm trying to keep my bridges intact but ya lol no thanks A girl from my current company took a job over there just before I came to this new job. She works in a sister department...but they've soul-crushed her and she's already reaching out about coming back. Edited for clarity

Daycare just called and H has thrown up twice. She said she was just letting me know and if anything changed I'd need to come get him. I'm shocked she didn't want me to come now.

jubilantsquirrel do you have a good gingerbread recipe? W wants to make gingerbread men this weekend. Cook's Illustrated has two really great ones! One is a thicker, chewier cookie and the other is a thin, crisp cookie. You have to pay to use their website, but I have their recipes in a book at home. I'll take a picture and send it to you when I get home this afternoon.

I wanted a spoiler in case it’s a TW for anyone... announcement below: I’m pregnant! I got a positive test yesterday. I had a squinter on Tuesday but I needed to take more to be sure. They are still really light but I think it’s ok to call it now. I’m a little shocked it happened so soon but we are excited. I’m due in Aug. and my first appt isn’t until Jan.

Anyone have anything exciting going on today? The opposite of exciting but even so it's perfection. It's pouring rain outside and I'm sitting snuggled up with the dogs on the couch, sipping a peppermint mocha while A is reading her books and playing with her toys in the glow of the Christmas tree.
