I didn't think that was legal but I would so be out of there if they're going to be assholes. Wow. You didn't think what was legal? To not pay out earned vacation time. I dunno. Doesn't seem like it should be legal.

MOTY here. B had a brown paper bag for me when I picked him up from school. He was so excited for me to see what was inside so when I got him in the car I opened it up. It was a little ceramic pot that he painted with a flower in it. Well, he tried to grab the flower and I didn’t want him to break it but somehow I lost grip and dropped the bag in the parking lot and the pot broke. He was so sad. He had a pouty lip the whole way way home. I felt terrible. Lol. Aww how bad is it? Maybe you can glue it back together? yes for sure! A small piece broke off so I’m going to try to glue it.

TGIF! Glucose test this morning! It’s so hard to eat a breakfast without sugar. It’s hidden in everything! I told H last night that Disney was not feasible this year. He was upset but said he understood. I told him he could go down and stay with his family for a little bit if he wanted to. He declined lol. Good luck! My doctor requires fasting for the gtt, totally sucks. Not looking forward to it at all.

I'm at work. MH won't be getting paid to stay home today, even though he has vacation days. Why you ask? Because his boss is an asshole. Since he already put in his notice he won't allow him to take vacation. Not sure what his sick/vacation time will be like at the new place, but I'm sure he won't want to take off right away. So he's at home with the kids. That sucks. Does Texas make employers pay out any unused vacation? Eta: I see this has been covered. Sorry about all the rain/flooding.

AND he's not paying out earned PTO?! What the fuck, this dude is such a loser.
Every job I have ever had paid out PTO/vacation time when you left, assuming you put in your 2 weeks. The only exception being any floating holidays. And I think most jobs won't allow you to put in a vacation request after you've given your notice, but I would think most places would make an exception for sick time. Assuming you're not just calling out sick for the remaining days or some nonsense like that.

L has another fever! I can’t catch a break and how much you wanna bet, as soon as DH gets home all this will be water under the bridge. Darn spring!
He screams when I put the ointment on to make it better. (I have to do it twice a day) As soon as his sleeves are off, he’s scratching himself bloody. How do you tell a 2 year old not to scratch? I’m just at wits end and I’m going to bed crying a lot this week because I just feel like I’m failing him all the damn time. I feel like an AW because if it’s not his speech, it’s his food allergies, or he’s sick, and now we have no clue what’s causing this flare!

Good morning! Just came in from a walk with the kids. We can’t pass the elementary school anymore without epic meltdowns bc one or the other (or both) want to play on the playground. Little stinkers. It’s kind of cold (50* ish) but otherwise a nice morning.
So today I need to put together a raffle basket for a fundraiser next weekend. My friend’s second daughter was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome and they are putting on a fundraiser for WS next weekend and I asked to do a basket. i think MH needs to get his butt in gear, we got a dumpster last weekend to do a major spring cleaning = like old stuff from the old house that has lived in or garage and basement for almost 6 years now and hasn’t been touched. Also supposed to go to a winery with my brother and his wife but we’ll see if childcare happens.

H has another fucking ear infection.
I feel like the f word was accurately used in this sentence.

The last culture they did there were 6 different bacteria. Main one being streptococcus. They were just checking for a super bug in case they needed to change the meds. He was diagnosed with chronic sinusitis when he was 4 months old. The issue is he should be able to fight off most of this stuff. Every time his nose runs he ends up with an ear infection. This is like #43. Absolutely ridiculous.

Happy mother’s day ladies! I am thankful for you all!
I’m laying in bed currently. DH is up with the kids for the first time since probably last mother’s day. We have mimosas and Belgian waffles on the menu today. My mom is probably going to stop by at some point but other than that we have nothing else going on. I really just want my H to wrangle the kids, do nap time, diaper changes, the dishes, that sorta thing.

Happy Mother’s Day!!! I, too, am laying in bed waitwhat !!! FINALLY. Omg this is what it feels like huh? Not even when’s I’m sick have I been afforded this luxury. Last year Mother’s Day MH tried but the kids were just screaming nonstop so not very relaxing and I ended up storming downstairs anyway. I hear them cooking downstairs, I hope it’s pancakes (and not the healthy whole grain crap I recently bought...), coffee, OJ, sausage. Better to have no expectations though in case it’s instant oatmeal 😂 MIL told MH yesterday that’s FIL was gonna come over today o help do some stuff around the house (projects). What? No. On mother’s day? I’m sure he thinks he’s helping r giving us the gift of labor, but then I am watching the kids... no. My sister also invited everyone over for 2:30/3 Drunch (brunch/dinner? Lol).

Happy Mother’s Day N16! Hope everyone gets some relief of responsibility and quiet relaxation! tgrimes I just can’t, for you. 43 ear infections is outrageous. And we know you are doing everything you possibly can. I’m sorry. Well I got to sleep in til 715 this morning, but I also spent the majority of the night sleeping in a ball at the foot of O’s bed because he has had a high fever since Friday night and wouldn’t sleep without one of us. I guess a true representation of motherhood!
