Scorching weekend

[guster]

Hey! I got a new phone and have been locked out since. If kept asking for a forum password, but not for N13, just any board. I could read, but I couldn’t like or post. I don’t even know what I did to make the change, but here I am!
We ended up leaving to head upstate yesterday and are having a decent time (more good than bad). I don’t think I was ready for a hotel stay and MH is so much work on vacation that I need a break. I have also learned that we are definitely house not hotel people as a family. It will certainly inform my vacation choices going forward.

guster if it's just me and C, we hotel, but if mh comes along we house. Cadence loves a good hotel. LOL

chrisy01 I hope you were able to get home safely. *Hugs*

mwhip Did you say your H isn’t working again? Did something happen with the new job?

Yes...its a long story so I'll try to keep it as short as possible. Basically, the new company was unorganized, disrespectful to employees, and expected crazy hours that were not discussed during the interview process (like 1pm to 10pm). There were multiple exchanges between him and accounting that were very unprofessional.

He had still been communicating with 2 companies that he was more interested in. He met 1 of them for lunch a week and half ago. They requested he complete the background check and said it should be back in 7 days (anytime now), then they would need a drug test and an offer would come. Like, this is a done deal.

He was supposed to have gone to Phoenix during this last week for training at his new/now old, job and decided that was a dick move, knowing he'd likely quit when he returned home. Plus if the drug test order went in while he was down there, it might look questionable if he asked to postpone...so he quit.

So he is waiting to hear from them. Nothing should come back in his background check that would make them not move forward.

Hes leaving tomorrow to drive to Waco to talk to the 2nd company Tuesday morning as well.

We joke about his inability to keep a job, but I'm seriously stressed. I will have to get into savings this month, no way around it.

We’ve done both, and single night or a weekend in a bite is doable, but beyond that everyone needs the space and the comfort of a house. I’m hotel all day every day.

Three hours in a closed terminal we were able to get back on the plane. It was a bumpy flight but went fine. Luckily my ride was still able to get me so I wasn’t screwed.

Morning. We started this Sunday like a true Sunday, meaning we were all in pjs until 12 😂. Met a friend for a late lunch at a patio, it was nice! Even though it was only 1.30 we treated ourselves to a glass of wine, just because .

It is a warm evening and since my late lunch I’m not hungry, so we’re giving the kids a snack plate dinner and have dinner ourselves after the kids go to bed.

Morning. I’m at work. I figured out the issue with my alarm from yesterday. Somehow the volume got turned almost all the way down. So dumb. Anyway, I made it to work on time today. It got to 99 degrees yesterday and it’s supposed to be 93 today, no thank you. We might have to find a pool or lake to go to this afternoon.

I’m so tired. 🥱 I didn’t get home until after midnight. But I planned E’s zoom party with my family. Tomorrow is her actual birthday. I went to pick up the cake. It did not look like what I ordered. They asked to redo it. I went to get Dunkin’ and then when I came back it was close enough. Now I’m waiting for party city to open so I grab the balloons and head back home to start the zoom call.

[klong11]

Just got back from the party at the park. Cadence had so much fun playing with her friends. She was drenched in sweat though, and no one else was. I've always known she was a sweater, but didn't realize it was so different than other kids.
Mh is currently doing the lawn then after lunch he and C will go to FILs for a little while. I need to go to Old Navy to do a return, but I have zero motivation. I may just mail it all back rather than going in store.

trtlcrzy Crazy that it will be in the 90s for you and down here in MS and LA, it’s barely in the 80s.

chrisy01 Goad you made it back last night.

mwhip That sucks. Hope he finds the right fit soon. That stress is no fun. Did you both make a decision about the house? I think I remember you saying if something didn’t happen within a certain time frame, you would find out if y’all could step away from it.

Hi. The kids had a blast playing last night. They got to sleep in, but I was up early for reason, so I got the TV to myself for a little over an hour. I never finished Falcon and winter soldier, so I caught up a few episodes. I have 1 more to go. We’re at a play place now and it’s not too busy. The weather is so sucky here, but the kids are having fun without being outside, so not too big of a deal.

[slenle]

Hi. We’re on our way home from north. It was a hot weekend with no ac, but we survived. we spent most of the day in the lake yesterday which helped.

Our city pool opened yesterday so the kids are asking to go when we get home. I’m sure it will be super busy since it’s opening weekend and so hot. We might wait until a little later and hope it’s not as busy. Then maybe we’ll watch raya tonight since the kids have been counting down the days for it to be on Disney+

Well, he had said if nothing had happened by this weekend, we were backing out. He sent a text to our agent Friday asking when they were breaking ground...we finally had a rain free week, so work should have been being done. Our agent said they're supposed to break ground tomorrow. H said he would give him this week, then if the hole isn't dug, he would request we back out.

I stay out of all decisions and communication because I'm so pissed about it all.

[klong11]

Returned $110 at ON, then turned around and spent $127. 🤦
I should have just returned them by mail!

[kim22]

DS1 somehow cut his face on his hockey helmet at his game tonight and I had to take him to urgent care to get it glued. Tomorrow he gets his second covid shot and my nephew is having kidney stone surgery so it will be a stressful day. Also not looking forward to working in a mask in 90+ degree weather.

Look at this! It kills me! This is the forecast for this week, wtf!

[mwhip]

Thats crazy trtlcrzy! You're warmer than we are here. And look at all these chances of rain...threatening to make it so the hole for our house doesn't happen this week...

[nam2013]

trtlcrzy I’m just so sorry & hoping you won’t melt. That just the worst 😖😖😖.

[tgrimes]

chrisy01 This is way late but CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so proud of you.
