I'm so bored. I thought I should show my face at work today since I am planning on WFH so much the rest of the next two weeks (my boss is overseas). And I don't have much to do.
I'm waiting on a few people to answer emails and it's all people who are awful at responding. So I'm just over it. We have a staff meeting at 3, which is the only reason I came, and I am running for the door as soon as it's done.
What's new in your world?

It's incredibly non-eventful around my way. I've been having a tough time getting childcare lately. Still don't have anyone to be my "consistent" person and all of my back-ups have been busy. I just need to get through 6 more months of this and I'll be good.

A job where butt heads not answering emails can't stop my entire day.

I didn't actually expect to change careers and just changing companies isn't really a viable option. I can't think of anything interesting (to me) that doesn't involve some sort of evening/overnight work, and that's pretty much out of the question.

Dh is off to his ship... he left Saturday and was stuck in NYC for 17 hours (he was pissed he could have stayed home an extra day) starbuck, I’ve been thinking of my 2nd career after L gets into full time school. I’d love to get back into books but I’d prefer a library over retail. I’m watching a show on RFD TV (rural America’s tv) called I love Toy Trains and there’s a kid who loved Thomas at 3 and now has a huge model train collection and even drives some trains at a local station for tours in NJ!! I may be in the train thing for the long haul y’all!?! 😳 L is just sitting here... “diesel train, steam train whistle, yellow diesel train, train shed!”

Cheshie6 a library would be interesting work. I bet with your experience working with kids you would be good in a children's library section doing fun activities.

Aren't we all supposed to start a business together?? I need to do something new too. Still no idea what interests me. Being in the NICU for so long watching the nurses made me consider it for about 30 seconds this morning but then I realized there's a shit ton more to nursing than changing feeding tubes. Ugh.

I sent O back to school today. It’s been 10 days at home, he can’t stay home forever... At our follow up yesterday, ped said he’s still constipated. So we did 2 enemas (traumatic and awful) and now we are on miralax 2x a day. I never saw the actual blockage pass though... I think I might ask for a referral to a ped GI just to get a specialists opinion on the right course of treatment.
On a positive note, I took D to Target today. It was so nice to focus on just him today and get out of the house.

What does everyone’s kiddos want to be for Halloween??
O keeps saying he wants to be a snowman. Lol I was trying to wait in case he changes his mind but there was only 2 left of the particular snowman costume I liked on Amazon so I got it. I didn’t want Olaf bc he doesn’t know who that is.

Anyone else's kid surviving off air lately? H has not been eating his meals lately. So I started cutting out snacks. If you don't eat your meal, you don't get snacks after. Figuring that the snacking is just filling him up and that's the problem. Well apparently not because even without snacks he's still not eating more than a few bites.

A wants to be the witch from Room on the Broom. We've gathered most of the pieces, although I still need to buy her some grey tights and a yellow bow with red polka dots.

Ugh yes.. he might eat one or two small meals but he hasn't been eating dinner lately. Yesterday he ate cereal.

C still doesn't really know what dressing up is apparently. When I ask what he wants to be, he just names Halloween things like ghost or witch. I need to take him to look for something. My parents showed him costumes at Costco the other day and he didn't want anything. Figures Halloween is his birthday and he has no interest.

Good morning! I’m all packed up, drinking coffee and waiting to go through customs when they call are group. School is out today so when we arrive home the kids will be there. I’m hoping we can time it right so it’s not right before H naps.
