C was up every two hours last night starting at 2. No, girlfriend. We are not going back to that place. On a positive note, she started waving last night and it's so cute, so I guess I'll forgive her for the unsettled sleep.
Today we're meeting some friends up at the pool after B's swim lesson; they're in the area visiting family and I'm looking forward to seeing them, it's been 3 years!

I'm at work but would rather be sleeping.
I'm having lunch with a work friend today. LSS she's going to tell me about her job because they're creating some new courts out here soon and I'm considering applying for a position like hers. It pays $15-20k more than what I'm making right now and most of the people in that job title don't have college degrees.

It's so rainy, dreary, and wet here. I have a couple last minute things I need to grab for my friends shower this weekend so I'll be running some errands this afternoon. Also want to make banana bread so that will also be happening today.

Our echo dots came yesterday and h got them set up in the kids rooms so they has white noise last night. C slept through the night, and two hours longer than he has ever slept before, coincidence? I think not. Then S had a dance party to Moana in her room this morning without needing me. I call them a success already. Is it Tuesday yet? I have VBS starting Monday and so life is crazy with that right now, once Tuesday hits things on that front will be much calmer. We are also moving across the country in 4 weeks, our house goes on the market in 3 and I have so much shit to get done between now and then. So sorry for mostly posting and running I am probably running in circles irl  |

Morning!
I got the email for early access to Nordstrom's anniversary sale, so I'm just over here adding things to my cart for when my wallet isn't in time out anymore.

DH's job is continuing to fuck with him. He got his layoff letter and it's worded that he is in a "temporary layoff due to shortage of work". He asked what that means and they said essentially that he is still technically theie employee and so he can take casual work while he is "laid off" but can't take a position at the other company because they could call him back. Like this can't be legal?

Morning ladies. So this morning I went into C's room and the first thing out of his mouth when he saw me was "mom mum". My heart melted! I don't know if it was just a coincidence but he's been saying it to me a lot lately. Last night he was mum mum muming while patting my chest. He's just so fun lately.

Seriously flamingo how cute is the waving?! I'm dying. Have a ton of fun today! That has me so excited for you tgrimes. What a great opportunity that would be! You're moving across the country aggiebug?!!! Whoa I missed a lot when I was gone!! I hope everything goes as smoothly as possible. The Nordstrom's is KILLING me jubilantsquirrel. I'm doing so so so good with not spending, but I'm missing all the good sales. Holy shit danib WHAT?! I can feel my blood pressure rising reading that. Wtaf do they except from you guys? There's a family involved here that needs to eat and live how can they be this callus? |

M had her music class this morning and now I'm hiding inside until this afternoon. The 'real feel' is already 100 out and it's supposed to get 10 degrees warmer. We have outside family pictures scheduled outside this afternoon.
100+ degree weather with an 8 month old and four dogs who each have a mind of their own. One picture. I want ONE good picture.

danib He's a contract worker right? Didn't you say his contract is up soon? I'd think that would mean that they cannot keep him from getting another job. I'd also argue that if what they're saying is true, then they need to pay for his training. It can't be that he can't get another job, but they won't pay for his training since he's not an employee. Kwim?

danib that's so crappy about your H's employer. I'm sure the second he pays for that retraining out-of-pocket they will miraculously have a spot for him again, too. My dad owns a recruiting firm and runs into a similar issue with candidates who have signed non-compete agreements. A lot of them wouldn't stand up in court bc legally they cannot interfere with a person's ability to make a living. it's always stressful for all involved. Anyway y'all could protest with a similar argument? I'm sorry y'all are dealing with this.

M just realized she can click her bottom teeth and top tooth together and it is the worst sound I've ever heard.

sophiegrace I don't think you missed it here actually o can't keep life straight but I don't think I mentioned here? It's just now public knowledge, but if you remember my convefe post on the FB page it's related to that 😂. goldenlove H just accepted an offer there last week so it's just now happening. 5 weeks from the offer and him starting his new job. We will be near the geographical center of the US so it seems like the obvious choice for a national G2G right? We are excited. I am overwhelmed right now but excited about the new adventure.

I was going to curl up in a ball today but then I'd be a hypocrite of my advice the other day. So...
***TW***
Today is the 4 year anniversary of my Dad's passing. I hate everyday but mostly today. B woke up this morning telling me that he told Gido in his sleep that he loves him. He also asked if he could un-die so he could give him a big hug. Then we both had a little cry.
Blah.
#fuckALS
ETA: for those who don't know he missed B's birth by 4 months and one day so they have never met. Ugh.

Hi guys. Today has been a complete waste. Throwaway Thursday 😕 I asked the nanny to come early today so I could get into work a bit earlier. D woke up the SECOND I was about to leave so I went in and nursed her and ended up leaving my usual time anyway. Total waste of money for extra time from nanny. I went to work and when I got there the AC wasn't working, and my computer was updating. Well once it finally finished I could not get online at all. Everyone else in the office was fine so it's just my machine, not the network. So I left and drove home in traffic. Completely wasted morning, wasted gas, wasted miles on my old ass car... Got home and poured myself a glass of cold brew that I bought at the store to try the other day, with ice cubes and almond milk. Immediately threw it away (spoiler because horrifying) because there was a dead spider floating in it. Now I am finally, FINALLY set up on my home laptop and ready to work. Please FX that I can salvage part of this day. |

So I'm still in bed with baby, DH, and all 3 dogs! I'm calling it #familybonding! L is napping, I'm catching up on UO, and the dogs are happy getting some time in bed! lol DH wants to know if it's still family bonding if everyone is asleep until noon? I'm getting a pedicure this afternoon!! aggiebug, our area doesn't have successful VBS, so what theme/program are you doing? Is it just morning or a few hours in the afternoon? danib, dh says they are messing with him! Is he on standby? Are they trying to get him to quit? Or just make him pay for his own training? vino, I'm sorry! I lost my dad 5 years ago to lung cancer. Take care of yourself today |

Geez dashook . You need a redo of today. And a big ol glass of wine come 5pm. Or noon. 😜 There will definitely be wine consumed tonight! One of my friends from my moms group is moving to Paris for 2 years for her H's job, so we're having a French-themed send off party for her tonight. If there isn't wine at a French party, well, then I just don't know what to believe in anymore. |

Ahem.  Some of us aren't on FB.  Ahem. Haha I started to ask if anyone was from the area we are now moving to because he had an interview and we wanted a realtor suggestion. Well I realized I was about to get on a ship and not respond for 4 days and decided not to. Except.... I ended up posting something along the lines of " anyone here live are". Thrilling story but the convfe comments were killing me.  . |

vino big hugs, I'm so sorry that today is especially hard. I'll say a little prayer for your family tonight. E has been super cute during bedtime prayers. I try to make him sit through them each night and he usually gets up from my lap and picks out a book early or wants to play with a toy. But we always end with amen which he loves to say when we finish. I try to add in a special prayer at the end for someone we know going through something rough or just a general prayer for something going on in the world. Anyways, I've been asking E who our special prayer should be for, last night he said L because she cries a lot. My heart melted! I'm sure he has no idea what we're actually doing, but I love seeing him start to understand these things! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
