Hi from the dr office. We are part way through the peanut challenge. So far 1 peanut butter m&m and he licked the peanut butter off a cracker (he refused to bite it). He’s acting a little weird but I think I’m just hyper sensitive right now.

Morning.
I’m caffeinated and on task. I did what I could last night so I didn’t have to miss my workout this morning. Trying to stay consistent, especially since I ate bad this weekend. Have to Get back to healthy eating.
The boys have a dentist appointment early this afternoon, so I have to go check them out and M has a baseball game this evening. It’s going to be a long day, so we’ll probably do pizza for dinner. I have to squeeze in a grocery run at some point, too.
Happy Monday!

hello from the office. Cadence is with me today and will likely be here all week. I'm not cool with mh just giving her the damn answers to her schoolwork, so I would prefer she not school with him any more. He's probably done it on purpose, who knows. (Everyone raise their hands, because we ALL know he has likely done it on purpose so that I would bring her to work with me and not leave her at home).
Picked up the office grocery order and they left off a box of coffee pods, so we'll have to swing back by during lunch to pick it up.
Really looking forward to Wednesday. I have the day off because Cadence has dance photos and dress rehearsal, so I need to get her ready for those and take her.

H had his audiologist appt this morning and everything looks fine. We meet with one of the doctors from the palate team this afternoon and then M has a pedi appt at 4:30. She's complaining about her ear hurting. There's too much wax for me to see her eardrum with the otoscope so I made the appt just in case.

I'm in the pedicure chair. Just got my nails done and then I have my pre surgery physical. My mom and aunt have MJ and will grab J for me. My aunt and uncle are in from AR. So we have family pictures tomorrow night. 4 days until surgery 😬

The offer was accepted for the golf course property!!!!!!! It's a private sale so we're going to meet in the next couple days to sign the paperwork, submit to a lawyer and transfer money hopefully by the end of the week. Then its clean up with a garbage bin delivered, garage eaves and shingles replaced, electrical inspection, overhead door install. Once that is done I can move my vintage truck to the property and hopefully find some retired mechanic that wants a small project to get it running.
Phew. So much to do.
oh and the dealership called this morning and the trailer is ready, because of course it is, another thing to arrange and manage!

My clumsy ass husband shot himself in the finger with a nail gun yesterday and it's very sore and swollen and he can't move it. He's leaving work shortly to go to urgent care. Lord.

inthekitty Technically no. There are a lot of postings all over the country and we've been 'lucky' that the farthest he has had to go is 2 hours away and we just did IR and he was gone Mon-Fri. Between his education, jobs and promotions his jobs have always been here since it's a large base. He is up for promotion in July and his job will be here again, so he is good for a least a year. He is pretty close to retirement, I think 4 years now, and we've had many talks that if he gets posted we'll just deal with it. He can be posted and we'd stay. It is not for everyone but for me to leave my good paying govt job, our home, kids school to go to a lesser quality of life for a short period of 3 years it's not worth it to us. I know it's not for everyone and I feel we get judged a lot when it comes up esp with military folk but we've had extensive talks about the future. Now if we get a postings to another country post pandemic, we'd consider it since the kids are older and it'd be a good life experience for them.

Warning, bitch rant ahead.
This is seriously petty on my part, so don't feel you need to read or give me head pats, I just need to get this out.
Over the years MH has had "daddy daughter" days that usually involve taking one kid out of school and doing a bunch of fun activities with her. Great, right?
Over time though they've just left me annoyed and bitter. The other kid is always in a total mood when it is not her day (and in this case with us all home I get to deal with it). I'm not an under-no-circumstances-miss-school person, but I don't think it should be done routinely and they have a couple absences on the books lately due to the days I'm not physically home to ensure their schooling gets done because of course he's incompetent to do that when I'm not around nor does he prioritize it. And when distance learning is only a few short online sessions I'm not ok with skipping. M would have been done before 1100 with the only online class she has today but I know he won't ensure she does it. M's room is also a giant mess of which she's made no effort to clean after weeks of me being on her about it so she's being rewarded for not listening to me.
The girls also talk about DD day nonstop, and here's where it gets really petty, because I feel bad that all the stuff I do with them is ignored since it's not branded "Mommy Daughter" day and I'm not pulling them out of school. I take them all over the place and MH only joins along on family activities about 1/3 of the time but gets all sorts of praise. It feels like when divorced dad swoops in and takes the kids to the amusement park.
I've also asked him in the past to not do it like this anymore and instead to coordinate with me and we'd schedule it when I can take the other kid. I have a massage today at noon so it's not a good day for me and I'm very much on the standpoint that they should do their schoolwork in the morning and we can do something fun in the afternoon. I'm probably taking C painting this afternoon and she'll enjoy that, but because it's not "daddy daughter" day she won't give much of a shit about it.
TLDR: MH is taking 1 kid for a daddy daughter day and I'm annoyed because the other kid is in a mood until it's her day and no one gives a crap when I take them to special outings on a regular basis.

vino makes total sense to me. I don't think I'd want to move either in those circumstances especially when he might be gone for training or even deployment part of that time. That's awesome that moving doesn't necessarily have to be a part of the lifestyle. Some of the other branches here don't move as often but the Army tends to. I think they'd have much better retention if they'd work with people more and only do some moves if necessary.

Totally get this. I take my kids places constantly and it's meh. My mom buys them wendys and it's oh my God the best day ever!!!! Pisses me off.

inthekitty For sure, when he has his career talk they are always asked their top 3 posting locations, and there are quite a few guys who take up the offer for postings, some people dont like the west so they long for the Nova Scotia life where a house is cheap and the life is quieter. There are some that love Ontario and have family there so it makes sense, and then others go where the houses are cheap esp with a promotion cause it's more money in the bank. I think with a blend of people and bases it allows us to choose here a little easier. In saying that he is a a higher rank on the NCO side and there aren't many positions so HE is worried that will take him out east, but I'll believe it when I see it cause its been since March 2007 and he barks 'BUT I COULD GET POSTED' a few times and year and still....here we stay. I'm not borrowing worry at this point.

MH travels so much, and so much of his business is in DC (about 4 hours away) so many people don't understand why we don't just move there. But it doesn't make sense for us. I have a good job here, I have a major support system, and the kids have a good life. Together, we decided that was more important then uprooting all of that. But I feel judged sometimes too.
