The school I interviewed at Tuesday called me shortly after 3 yesterday and I tried to call them back 4 minutes later and they had for the long weekend. They initially had said they didn't plan to make a decision until after the holiday but I know I crushed that interview and it's killing me to wait until Monday to hear of they're calling with a job offer.

I feel ya girl! I’m still waiting to hear about the job I interviewed for a couple of weeks ago- They said they would call me “the first week of July”, but with the holiday, I’m not sure if I’ll hear tomorrow or not. Fingers crossed for good news for you on Monday!!!

We had a great 4th of July the kids had a ton of fun! We took them to watch fireworks at a place where ds2 could stay in the car sleeping and poor DS1 fell asleep in my lap and missed it all ha! Today they’re off to school and I am off. I posted my maternity clothes for sale and someone is interested in all and I plan to post some baby clothes and toys. I’m excited to free up space but a tiny bit sad for no more babies, but also 100% sure we’re done 🤷🏼♀️

For those of you that have 6:30 bedtimes, what do you feed your kids for dinner? Separate meal from yourself? I feel like we rarely can even get dinner made by 6:30 most nights. Yes, separate meals. Sometimes leftovers from the previous day. H and I usually eat after he gets home and DD2 goes to bed, like 6:30-6:45.

Also, hi! Finally checking back in. I have been busy and also in the celebrity blinds thread. Work was insane on Wednesday, and my parents got here shortly after I got home. We had a really fun 4th at my friend’s house.
I’m at work now but it is slow and I plan to leave early. My parents have already left with the kids. I will come home to an empty house. I don’t know what to do with my hands! I think I’m going to work out, then get a mani pedi, then maybe take myself out to dinner at the tap house around the corner from our house. Or maybe just be lazy and open a bottle of wine at home. The house is my oyster!

Yikes to the earthquakes, but it's good the fault line is letting off steam. Glad everything is okay with those who've checked in so far!
Happy belated 4th of July to the American mamas.
I'm glad it's the weekend, work has been sucking my soul lately.
We went to a kid's birthday party down the street this morning. While DD napped I built her new playhouse. She just woke up, but DH was going out and she wanted to go with him so I figured I'd get myself a minute of peace and she can see it when they're back. My sister should be here for a visit shortly.
Tonight I think we'll go across the street to another kid's birthday party that we got invited to at the one this morning! There never used to be any kids in our neighborhood, but we're finally all having them so it's neat. I mean it took us two years to meet the family across the street, but still.

My kids and parents were at my sister’s house last night. 😑😑😑 Of all nights! I didn’t feel it here, but they all felt it up there. She sent a video of her pool sloshing and lights swinging. Just crazy. No damage though!

Glad everyone in CA is okay!
I have to work this weekend so it’s pretty low key here. Ds1 has been wanting a little crib for his stuffed bear. DH took them to the thrift store this morning and they found a doll pack n play for $2! So that was the most exciting thing that happened in this household today. Seems like everyone I know is going to 4th of July parties still this weekend and I feel v. Lame.

I hope you all enjoyed your 4th (the Americans that is).
I’m having a hard time finding time to respond to much on here. I’ll try to do better. I don’t want the board to die and there are so few of us as it is.

My Monday started out with getting shampoo in my eye, it still hurts! I guess I need the tear free stuff too lol.
I finally signed up for a gym membership, now to actually find the motivation to go.
My H has been working super hard and built a big play set with sandbox without a template and he’s currently in the process of building a giant deck. The boys love the sandbox so we spent all weekend out there and I’m hopeful that by tonight or tomorrow I’ll be enjoying a glass of wine on my new deck! I am so thankful he’s handy because it saves us so much money.

Well my Monday started with this: I told E to go to our living room so I could get my coffee and by the time I fought up to him he had grabbed my cup.

Hello! Happy Monday. sarahandben108 I hope you got another cup! MH decided that he’d use up the rest of the coffee for himself (we have a ninja so he made a single serving) so I *had* to go to Starbucks today. I worked all weekend and now being here on Monday, I’m just over it. I wish they would give us a day off during the week if we have to work the weekend. Also one of dh’s friends texted “what time is dinner on Wednesday?” Basically inviting himself over because he’s in town for work. It’s whatever, but now I have to plan a somewhat nice dinner in the middle of the week.

sarahandben108 "OH NOooo!" as my kid would say. Glad you had time to make more jules1614, that is awesome! Also not something my DH has the skill or interest in. Well, maybe he has the interest. But would rather do other things with his time. Anyway, I'm jealous. Eventually we're going to take down our deck and turn it into a patio because it's only a couple feet off the ground and then we won't be so boxed in. And I won't have to clean a billion white metal spindles every year. Or maybe we'll just move, haha.

I cannot get my kids to play independently to save my life. Like, they won’t do anything unless I’m in the middle of it. We have a full room of toys and all they want to do is sit all over me.

Hi, everyone. I am at the day spa for my terrific lady evening. I am very excited for this massage. Sipping on champagne now. 😊
Work was not bad today. The rest of the week I am at 5 am, and I start training the new tech tomorrow. Training is always tiring, but obviously worth it. Once she is trained, I will have less 5 am shift!

This is DD2 here. DD1 was always great at independent play. DD2 needs me to constantly be with her. It is so tiring.

My H is not that handy either and it’s very strange to me because my father basically could build/fix anything. This is my dad. His father was an amazing carpenter and woodworker and my dad can't nail two boards together for anything. I'm decently handy and my H is very handy so we make do on our own a lot.
