 I will forever equate chicken salad with vaginal health. And I don't mean that in a positive way. “Would you like my chicken salad recipe for vaginal health? Wait...what? No, you eat it.” |

@wine, salad help! Can you tell me what was in the blueberry/feta/Greek yogurt/lemon juice salad? I feel like I’m missing an important ingredient.

trtlcrzy fx for a good raise for you! Perhaps you should just start a babysitting service.

cagoldi, and if for some reason you want bacterial vaginosis you swap out the chicken for tuna.

Thanks, @wine! Such a perfect summer salad. I subbed pistachio for walnuts and added olive oil— so refreshing.
ETA: no cranberries added here, either!

My niece is watching the kids so my sister and I can go out to eat. Of course M is a total terror because she’s overtired, then runs into a wall and gets a bloody nose, and cries before I leave because her eczema is burning. Good luck with that! Lol.

trtlcrzy in our Kinder welcome packet it suggested a timer for lunches if kids aren’t used to that. It took about a week for C at his preschool to learn to eat and not socialize in their allotted times. Our preschool was great in that the made the time for lunch less each class until they got to the 20mins so they are ready. I got nothing for bedtime. I’m still drugging C up with melatonin.

I’m less dizzy today. One of my coworkers told me when he gets vertigo he does handstands and it clears right up. So one of my friends spotted me, but not so great the first time and I hurt my neck a little. But I did another and some back bends. I don’t have the constant dizziness now but still some when going from sitting to standing or doing a lot. So hopefully we are on the upswing.
Work has been busy as always but I had some people that stepped in for me while I was out and that was great. Tomorrow through Sunday we have a heat warning. Of course we have Pawsox (minor league) tickets for Saturday night when the feel will be 105. They have fireworks after the game so I think we will just do the last half.
Oh and I had a great talk with dh last week. It was really productive and he is going to go to a therapy session with me. I actually feel like we are both feeling a lot of the same stuff but expressing it differently. We have a plan moving forward to get us in a good place so it’s looking up. Of course the day after this talk was when I got the vertigo and have been laid up since.

DH left with the boys and the dog an hour and a half ago. It’s very strange being totally alone without even my dog but I cleaned so I can at least come home to a clean house on Sunday. I went for gas at the closest station to my house that I never go to because the guy there is creepy. I told him to fill it but when I got home, the tank is not all the way on full. I knew something was off there. Have to pick up DD soon and head to meet the boys.

I’m bummed. I got my glowing review, exceeds expectations on everything, but no raise info in the envelope  I think it’s effective the next pay period so I’ll find out by the end of next week, either way. |

That sucks. I’m sorry you have to wait to find out. You work for a hospital system, right?Most of the systems I’ve been in only give you a 2-3% raise... which is not much. I wonder if this is a regional thing?? I hope you get the bump in pay that you want. Especially since you voiced your concerns to your supervisor. |

M just said he and MH saw a snake in the back yard when they were cutting grass.
Noooo! Abort, Abort!
There is a pretty nice sized gap in our back fence underneath it. The yard slopes down a little and backs up to some woodsy ditch/creek area. I’ll be making yet another Lowe’s visit to get something to fill in the gaps. My dad suggested bricks when he was here a few weeks ago.

tgrimes enjoy the time with your sister! lahdeedah I hate to tell you that you will not fill the gaps enough to keep snakes out...they can fit in tiny spaces. At least you won't have mice? peachsmama sorry about the sitter, but you do know kids this age fight...and never stop.
