I had such an amazing dream last night. I was in some weird classroom but its ok because Justin Timberlake was there. He was SO nice. He commented that he liked the jacket I was wearing. I really wanted to get a picture with him but the camera on my phone was blurry when I did selfie mode. So I kept asking all these random people but no one could figure out how to use my iPhone. it was strange. I never got the damn pic.

It's pouring here currently. After I drop B off at school I think J and I are going to go to TJMaxx. No real reason, I just need to kill 1.5 hours before story time at the library and there's not a target in this direction so TJMaxx it is.

I really did not want to come to work today but here I am. I've spent the morning trying to gather my thoughts and make a to do list because pregnancy brain has me all over the place right now. I think things will get better in a couple weeks once I get last model year behind me. Trying to work on 3 model years for 3 programs at the same time is.. confusing.

It's going to be around 70 again today. I'm so ready for this weather to stay around.

FX danib!!

[starbuck]

danib, I've got everything crossed for you!

It's Monday. I'm at work trying to get a proposal done so I can move on to the next.

[Cheshie6]

Fx for you and yh danib!

DH is in Houston for training. There’s a guy from his rig on there so he’s not totally alone. He’ll fly home tomorrow. Today we take the girl dogs to the vet. Skye is getting a physical and Nala is getting her Lyme booster!

It’s raining today so I’m hoping this trip wipes both the dogs and the toddler out!

[tgrimes]

danib FX he makes it home!

Yesterday I made a big deal when H pooped on the potty. H is running naked to the pantry to get his M&M reward and I tell M that he pooped on the potty like a big boy. She turns to look at me and in a very sarcastic tone says, "I have 2 ears. I already know that."

Stifling back laughter, I told her it wasn't very nice to talk to me that way. She came over to give me a hug and said she was sorry. Then she looks up at me and says, "It was funny though, wasn't it?"

Smartass.

tgrimes oh my.. she's a character!

I guess I need to include ”don’t let the kids play with the storage box in the office labeled “IMPORTANT PAPERS” with the instructions for putting food away to MIL.

They ripped the very ornate and obvious envelope labeled BIRTH CERTIFICATES.

And I needed a copy for their registration for PreK 3. Somehow by the grace of that same God that dropped a spider on my lap, the actual BCs escaped unscathed.

Also somethings up with her. She keeps cancelling on us, getting here later and later, doing less and less (like I’m not suggesting she clean my house, just comparing her in recent weeks)... les the kids sit on the couch eating popsicles and “chocolate”. I don’t even know what chocolate, but AV “tattles” unknowingly so that’s where I get my info.... “Babcia chocolate” “sit on couch with popsicle like babcia does”. 🥴

[tgrimes]

kleigh I’d be looking for alternate care.

[starbuck]

kleigh can I come over and watch TV and eat chocolate and popsicles?

I do agree with tgrimes. Sounds like she's burned out and the arrangement is probably reaching the end.

[hangry]

danib did your H make it home?

kleigh have you or YH asked your MIL how she’s doing or how it’s been going with the kids lately? I know when you see someone every day it seems like you don’t need to ask that, but maybe she would open up.

[hangry]

I was cracking up at E at dinner tonight. She kept saying “you a bad guy and I’m a pizza box”. I’m sure she was trying to say something different than pizza box but that’s all I could hear and I started laughing so she kept repeating it.

As for an update, set the trap last night and empty this morning. H is setting it again for tonight and then he heads out of town tomorrow. If there is nothing there in the morning I might just move out. Because I am not going to manage that trap and the two kids on my own.

[danib]

DH got home yesterday thankfully. Later flights got cancelled but his made it in just early enough to beat the weather.
hangry you can borrow my cat, he's an excellent hunter.

We can help you look for houses.

tgrimes starbuck hangry Yes it’s definitely at the end and we all realize that. I dropped off the kids preK3 registration so that starts the first week of September. In the meantime, I also posted in my local Moms and Sitters FB pages two weeks ago. One girl is coming over tonight to meet the kids but it sounds like she is more interested in one off oppties bc she nannies for my friends kids (although friend is a teacher and would be off all summer so maybe this girl can do more!). But I only got two hits which is like really really weird, there are tons of sitters looking. I’m going to try posting again but I’d really prefer going with someone I know. I think my mom’s other job is also ending in a couple weeks so I might be able to use her an extra day or two while she looks for something full time. It is hard to give up 2 days a week free care but I think we all recognize that it’s no longer helpful.

hangry She is going through menopause and has a thyroid issue that is not well controlled. I *know* she has other stuff but she says it’s just like high cholesterol, but she always has blood work up orders on her fridge. Also, I do ask, all the time. She does say she’s exhausted. The other issue is she stays up until 2/3am watching trash tv and eating garbage, in general does not take care of her health - doesn’t drink water, get proper sleep, eat decent, etc. anddddd she smokes.

So there’s no shortage of things going on. Those are just the ones I know about, who knows what else could be going on. I’ve been saying she’s done for months now, it’s just the past couple weeks that MH is finally admitting it.

W is watching Paw Patrol and I started chanting "go, go, go!" in the opening credits.

He told he I'm embarrassing him.

MOM LEVEL 2 UNLOCKED.

IDK how I'm embarrassing him we're the only two here. But I don't really care. It has begun.

[starbuck]

I just saw a commercial for a babydoll that cries until you give it a pacifier.

Why in the hell would I want to bring another crying thing into my house?

[starbuck]

I mean I know it's not for me (or is it?) but like...I would still have to hear it.

[goldenlove]

Uuugggh why is it only noon??

[waitwhat]

We were just outside for 3 hours. We took a nice long walk and then played with the neighborhood kids for a bit. They both look exhausted so I’m praying for a nice long afternoon nap outta both of them.

[tgrimes]

Gap emailed me $10 off and Kohls sent me $5. I tried to buy M a skirt at kohls and they cancelled my order. I've spent the rest of my morning looking at Gap. So far I have a skirt & shirt for M's uniform for kindergarten. It's 45% off and with my $10 off I pay $1.00. I'm trying to see if there's anything I like.

I am really struggling today to not tell every person that I come in contact with that they are fucking stupid. The amount of times I ask someone for XYZ and they come back and say here's 123 makes me want to punch things. Like not even remotely close to what I asked for.

Hey, I need the approver's ID and charge code for this product. Response: Here's the PO#. BITCH, THAT'S NOT WHAT I ASKED FOR!!!! EKLHGIA;EGH;IEWOGHRGHIERGH

Ok, stroke over. Happy Tuesday, everyone!

LAME!

Why isn't it acceptable to just leave work when you're over it?

I’m going to get sick! I had 2 swimmers today with obvious colds, cough in my face during lessons today!?! My two little level ones are moving up so I probably won’t have anyone next session for that class. Makes me a little sad but I can’t not pass them because I’ll miss them. Lol

L is saying Bell but it sounds like bill. Translating is very hard. DH comes back from training today so yay! I’m freezing. Gonna try to workout while this kid naps. My sister set up an Apple Watch challenge (similar to Fitbit) and she didn’t realize until today that I’m at an unfair advantage. My job is teaching swimming, her’s is at a desk. I’m mostly a SAHM chasing a toddler and 3 dogs. We’ve got walks to go on and puddles to jump in and rocks to pick up and show but not share!?!
