Why is it Monday?

[chrisy01]

What’s going on ladies?

[chrisy01]

I’m super tired already. I woke up at 3 and couldn’t get back to sleep. Now I’m at work trying to find motivation to actually work. Hoping the day goes by fast.

Morning! B had a string of nightmares last night for some reason, so I am tired. But he woke up this morning super happy, so I guess it didn't bother him too much. So now I'm drinking coffee trying to focus on work while listening to S doing school.

I have his conference this afternoon (virtual) but I don't really expect to hear much. He's been in school a grand total of 5 mornings this year. She doesn't really know him at all. Not her fault... Just this weird year.

Morning. I’m still not feeling great. I can definitely function/mom but I’d much rather lay in bed. H almost missed the bus this morning, but made it just in time. I was planning to run errands after I take S to school but instead I’m going to just come home. This evening I have a work training from 6-10, I am hoping it’s not actually going to take that long.

jewels H’s conferences are in a couple of weeks, and will be over zoom this time too. She’s generally well behaved so it always goes quick. At least we don’t have to round everyone up and go somewhere. I hope S can go to in person school sooner than later.

Since temps didn't go up the snow is still there. Cadence's school is completely remote today, but delayed until 9.
My coworker is out today. She is in the district north of us, even though she only lives like 5 minutes from me, and they are closed completely, which I don't understand. Anyways, if the district closes then the dc closes, so she has no childcare.
I couldn't cover for her today though. I feel like I've gone to work at 8 more days than her and it's her scheduled time, not mine.

M's new teacher officially takes over today. I hope she does okay this semester. I'm still a little peeved about the way this was all handled. I'm at work freezing my ass off. My coworker turned on my floor heater when she got here and it's still freakin degrees inside.

[klong11]

wedding snow is still there, but slowly melting. Sun is shining today and Cadence is desperate to go out before it melts away.

[tgrimes]

klong11 M is pissed that C got to make a snowman and she didn't. Lol.

Morning! It’s cleaning lady day, my favorite day! MH was supposed to be in training all week at work and it was canceled due to one of the instructors having a COVID exposure. So he will probably cramp my style this week and work from home 🙄.

We got a new fish for our fish tank a few days ago and the other fish were assholes and beat up on him so bad he died. So that was a waste of $50 (saltwater fish are pricey).

[tgrimes]

lfig OMG to paying $50 for a fish just so the other fish could kill him. RIP fishy.

[lahdeedah]

Morning.

M has done his one teams meeting and I’ll let him finish the independent assignments after they go out and play in the snow. I wish MH was here to go outside with them because i don’t like being out in the cold. 🥶 Hope they want to be out there too long.

I have to catch up on some things I neglected yesterday. I started Tehran and have 3 episodes left. If I can get everything done this morning, I’ll finish it this afternoon.

[guster]

Morning! Groundhog Day over here.
MH Is eligible for the vaccine so he’s trying to get an appointment at one of the local New York hospitals, but everything is so filled up. His doctor hasn’t receive the vaccine yet so I even though he’ll be relative close to of the top of the list there we don’t know how long will have to wait.

My thoughts exactly! This was 💯 MH. I was against buying a $50 fish because we have seen these other fish be jerks before. They have all been in there together for about 2 years so they are fine with each other...just not the new kids...aka fish.

Morning.
MH is back at work, B is back in school today, J was off to daycare and I am working from home. The silence is glorious.

I need to find a new show to watch while working, I might just put on Golden Girls since every day is better with Betty White.

Have you watched Crashing on Netflix? It’s not the HBO one. It has Anthony from Bridgerton in it. And the girl from Fleabag . It’s super short and I really enjoyed it.

I have not!  Just looked it up and added to my list.  Thanks for the rec!

I just realized my promotion was screwed up and entered two days into the pay period which means the offices in DC won't actually make it effective until 1/18 instead of 1/4. They never retro anything so I am stuck losing pay due to someone's mistake. Grrr!

That sucks!  I'm so sorry.

[klong11]

lfig, is that your friends' only child? Do they need anything? Do they have a gofundme set up or anything?

No, he is their middle child. They have a 7 year old and a 1 year old also. They don’t have anything set up right now. But I think they are okay right now. They are a few hours from home but have a huge supportive family that has already taken them lots of stuff.

That’s nuts! Ours almost never get processed on time, but we ALWAYS get back pay to when it should have started. I’m so sorry that you will be missing out! How frustrating!

[klong11]

I'm the only staff member that showed up to work today. Granted, there are only 3 of us, but still. I'm always the only one that shows up.
Smokey stayed home. Who knows why.

[lahdeedah]

MH got an unofficial offer(not in writing yet) from one company and the preferred company called with details of their package and two more positions opening up. Now I’m anxious because we want the preferred company, but of course it’s no guarantee that he will get it, so I’m anxious about what we should do. I’m hoping the interview for the better package is the next day or so. From what we’ve heard, they let you know same day if you got it or not.

[jewels]

I hope you get what you want lahdeedah! This must be so nervewracking

[klong11]

I was accidentally up until 1am reading last night. I forgot what it's like to get so engrossed in a book you lose track of time.

[jewels]

I had a phone consult with 2 different therapists to work with B. Now I need to pick one and I don't know how to do that! This is so hard.

[klong11]

jewels, can you look up reviews for them?

I'm sure they are both qualified.  So you just need to pick which one you think B will actually listen to, lol.

I did. I had trouble finding much.  One was recommended by my pedi, so that's good.  I found the other recommended on our local facebook group.  The first one I have to travel to (about 20 minutes away).  The second one will come to our home, b/c she said it's better to work with kids in their comfortable environment.
