Morning! I really hope Tapa is updated soon because I feel so disconnected without it.
Still no air-conditioning. It was 78 here last night. We set up a ton of fans in the kids' room, and they slept comfortably. I didn't really mind it. I'm always cold, so it was a welcome change. MH on the other hand had a rougher time. We should find out this morning what needs to be done. Hope your day is cooler.

I'm going to whine for 2 posts then buck up buttercup for the rest of the day.
After cleaning out some of our woods last Wednesday, A got poison ivy/oak on his legs and arms. I had a small patch but was okay. Until last night.. My legs are covered! I'm itching like crazy and we have our trip this weekend! I have this beautiful dress to wear and now my legs are going to look awful. I'm so sad. Can I still get a pedicure tomorrow? They wear gloves so it should be fine right?
My mom forgot about this weekend and volunteered to work. Idk why she can't think things through for more than half a freaking second. Now the boys are going to be shuffled around from my moms and my in laws and my FIL has to come over at 4:30 am when my mom leaves to sit with them. She drives me nuts.
The boys won't sleep! It was almost midnight before we got them out last night. They just talk and talk and talk.
Wednesday is Ana's due date. She would be 2 this year. It's not hitting me yet and I hope it doesn't. I need this to pass easily this year.
I need to TW the last one. See next post..

TW: animal death, not a peaceful one
Sometime Saturday night, 2 of our goats got out. We have an old cistern at the back of our barn that hasn't been used it 40 years and was covered with a wooden lid. Well the goats jumped on it and fell in and drowned. My brother found them Sunday afternoon. He then filled it in immediately because all any of us could think about was what if it was one of the kids. Rest in peace Fudd and Ali.

S hasn't thrown up again since Saturday night so I think whatever that was has passed. guster I hope your AC is a cheap/easy fix peachsmama sorry about your goats and I hope the poison ivy clears up soon. DONT SCRATCH!

I hope Tapa starts working soon. I can't use work computer for Proboards, and it's cumbersome on my phone. Work today. Coworker S has finally caught on and is now telling us a week before when she's not able to work, giving us enough time to move schedules around so we are not all working so much. Apparently she heard that I had a 60 hour week when she only work 25 hours that same week. She's not working this Wednesday and most likely most Wednesdays, we will know more on Thursday.

I'm 30 minutes early for my Dr appointment. I'm sitting out in my car coughing my head off. It just won't stop this morning....you know, until I actually see the Dr. I'm sure I won't cough once.

After all that pneumonia talk, I was going to ask you if you had been to the doctor. I'm glad you have an appt.

peachsmama - I hope the poison ivy clears up quickly. I would prolly not get at pedicure out of embarrassment, if my legs looked too torn up, but that is just me. Sorry about the goats =( guster, I am glad you are not suffering too much without the AC. Hope it can get fixed soon.

AFM, I was contacted about a job interview later this week. I think I will go through with it, but am really torn on if I want a career move right now. My current job has been a good fit for me. I mean I don't really have much growth potential and don't feel super challenged, but that is what has worked while my kids are so little and needy and while my home life tends to be stressful. So I'll see how the interview is and go from there. It would give me a lot to think about.

Morning. Dd slept like crap, so I'm exhausted. Annoyed by the fact tapa still isn't working. Landed in the hell hole of packing with kids, ugh I tend to forget that this reno basically means moving out and moving back in within four months, in between most of our stuff is going to be in storage, so I need to pack very wisely. Ordered a new car seat for ds, it has one of those shields in front of his tummy and they're strapped in the regular seat belt, but in a seat, it scored great on safety tests, any of you girls had experience with this?

How does she know that she won't be able to work wednesdays? Are her treatments every Tuesday or something? of this Wednesday they show some progress she has to go in every 7 days for the treatment and all her appointments have been at 1pm so by the time she gets done it's not worth it for her to come in or something. I'm just grateful that's she's trying to let us know a head of time. That means we can limit meetings and whatnot.

So I'll see how the interview is and go from there. It would give me a lot to think about. I understand how you feel. I've been at the same job (sort of... my company was bought out about 10 years ago, but not much changed) since 1 week after I graduated college (in 1995). I have literally done everything here, and for the first 20 years or so considered it my home. A lot has gone on here in the past few years that has drastically changed that, and I just finally did my resume and started applying to jobs. I am terrified of change. My job has a lot of really bad points. But is is beyond flexible. I extended my maternity leave without really asking anyone. When I came back, and MH was OOT for so long, I just told them I could only come back 3 days per week for the first few weeks till he came home. That was January and I'm still P/T. My job really doesn't lend itself to being PT but no one will ever say anything to me about it. So I'm scared of change b/c I fear I'll never have the flexibility. But I know in my heart that my time is done here.

I know someone that got treated for it but it was on her face. I didn't think they'd do anything for me since it's just my legs. And I'm so terrified of getting it on my face, I won't touch it. Even after washing my hands. I used a tissue to wipe my eyes this morning. DNW this crap on my face!

guster We were without AC for about 10 days last year while they figured out what was wrong with our unit. We bought lots of fans (which we've found uses for) and borrowed old window units from anyone we could. It wasn't ideal but it got us through without too much fuss. Hopefully you'll get things in working order far quicker!!

I was nursing Colin at the time, so she actually put me on an alternate treatment routine, since what she normally prescribes is strong and not BF-friendly.

Good morning! I took today off for a "me" day as a birthday present to myself. I took n to her first day of swimming lessons and she did pretty good once she got comfortable.
Now I'm on the couch with coffee. I'm going to get a message at noon and then get lunch with a friend. I'll run some errands this afternoon and maybe squeeze in a nap. Not a bad Monday.
