I hired someone four weeks ago. She started last Tuesday, called in sick Wednesday & quit today... My vacation roster is a mess and there isn’t enough time left to solve it. My back is killing me, I really need a massage or something and school emailed yesterday evening that there is an event on Friday that starts at 5. Sure why inform people earlier, it not like we don’t work 🤦🏼♀️. And worst of all, my stomach still isn’t back to normal, so no coffee for me 😭😭😭.
ETA hope your days started better!!!

Morning! I'm waiting to give blood, but they're short staffed and running super late. We'll see how it goes.
Today is Colin's last day as a kindergartener and I am having all the feelings. He got to meet his first grade teacher and see who's in his class yesterday, so he's pretty excited. He was actually sad this morning about missing school over the summer. Pretty sure he'll forget all about that once camp starts!

I am just exhausted. I feel like I'm running on empty but I slept 11-8 with no interruptions. I should feel fine.

Hi! Im sorry for the rough start to the day, @nam! I hope the work stuff straightens itself out soon! I think it’s great they didn’t wait til late summer to let Colin know who he has next year and which kids will be in his class, joelies. I’m glad he had such a good first year. |

Morning! The pool company was here early this morning to fix a broken valve. He wanted to show me all the stuff I needed to know about it so I spent about 15 minutes in the pouring rain with him. My hair will not recover today.
He’s coming back this afternoon to do something else— so we’re home bound until he shows. Looks like
Playdoh and tv over here.

Morning. Funny how productive I feel when I get to work before 9..or a bit pathetic. I'm going lunch shortly with N's class, so that should be cute. And then I called the ped yesterday about a lump on J's cheek from a fall 6 weeks ago that is still about the size of a dime. We also will discuss his constipation and drop off forms for school, and check in on if we should challenge N with gluten. Basically a general catch-up with the ped. We haven't gone since Jan, which was a record for us!
Otherwise cramming for a demo tomorrow and nothing is working right 😒. My Nemesis is out this week, so at least she won't be on the call to complain, so whatevs. Also got 100 on my crappy final project proposal...4 weeks left of this class🙌. Granted another starts next week.
Oh and I kinda want to do an impromptu NYC trip this weekend, there are $200 rooms in time square (I know, but j would LOVE that) which is pretty cheap all things considered. Mh thinks j will be disappointed that we'd drive and train in since he wants to Amtrak. I think he can survive not getting everything he hopes and dreams of🤷, and he'd still have a ball.

Morning! Hope your day has improved nam2013 ! B is at golf camp, I think he may have ended up with another kid's driver yesterday but I'm not actually sure; when I asked him today B said "Trust me, Mom, it's mine." (Trust me?? Mom??? Are you 15?) I stopped on our way home to look for a golf bag tag, since every other kid has a red bag that looks like his. Going to have to order on Amazon. It's maybe 5 degrees less hot here today so C and I went out and potted some new flowers we bought over the weekend, and watered everything. That is the limit of my outdoor activities for the day  |

Morning ladies! Work has been crazy lately.
I am sending some hair from my kid for a DNA type of test I bought of Groupon. It tests for allergies to colors and sweeteners used in foods, which is I think the culprit to my kid going potty all the time. I'm really hopeful it provides me with some good information.

Ok, here's a question...what do you get for a 5 y.o. girl who has literally everything? Not exaggerating. This is a friend's bday party this weekend so under $20 ideally.
I hate to do cash but worst case, I will put a couple $5 bills in with something small, lol.

Morning. More orientation today. This morning is all about #selfcare. Pretty much info on about how we can do things to make sure we are in balance so that we can better serve our patients. It was refreshing and I know I need to do better. Too busy taking care of others and not enough time spent on self. More speakers and meeting with my supervisor for lunch. So far this organization seems like a good one to work for. I’m hopeful. Hope your day turns around nam2013. Make sure you rest if you need it peachsmama. |

Pretty jewelry (necklaces and charm bracelets) , beach bag (canvas tote) with a towel and a cool mister or a bunch of headbands, clips, and hair ties,any arts and craft package, water bottle and a cool set of sand toys. |

flamingo as the mother of a 5.5 year old who has EVERYTHING, I always ask for clothes or money to put in her bank account. The amount of toys we have is overwhelming and I'd like to throw most of them away.

I also like the idea of making a small cookie bake set, flour, sprinkles, a few cutters etc. Eta I also like clothes or something like a magazine subscription . Dd loooooves washi tapes in all sorts and forms! |

Rest isn't an option. Had to take grandma to chemo and the boys are home with me today.... so I'm in the waiting room with the boys while she gets her treatment. Hoping it goes quick.

Thanks y’all, these are great ideas. I will check out the links when I get home.
eta: this is my friend so I feel bad talking badly(?) but the amount of sheer stuff her kids have make mine look downright poverty-stricken. And the clothes are insane. We were over there the other day and the 5 y.o's closet doors were open...picture a standard closet with 2 bi-fold doors. Upper bar all the way across literally stuffed with hanging clothing, and then stuff in future sizes on the shelf above all the way to the ceiling. Bins below with accessories, etc. I know my friend is a shopper but this was just beyond my imagination.

tgrimes, that lip balm making kit is so messy, but it actually is pretty decent lip balm.
