First of all thanks girls for last night. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate you all. I hate feeling this anxious & hope that once my sister is here and we go on vacation it will lessen, because otherwise I’m thinking I might need some help. Ds’ fever was gone this morning, but since my sister is coming (I’ll believe it when I see her) I wanted to get him tested to avoid stress if the fever would get back at the end of the day. It was negative! He had a beautiful report card (no grades, they write about how he does) and the teacher made a verse for him/about him. He’ll say that every week next year on the day he was born (Wednesday in his case). She made a wonderful drawing too ☺️.

It's my office day too. I hope not too much extra work comes in but if today is anything like the rest of the week, it will.

Raining over here too. My child(who finally stayed in her bed last night, but my brain didn't get the memo and woke me up anyway to get up and pee, which I guess is better than not waking me up and allowing me to pee my bed) has requested pizza rolls for lunch, so I'll need to pick some up on my way home.

Morning.
Not much happening here today. I thought I would be starting work Monday, but that isn’t happening. I got an email yesterday from the people doing the background check that they were trying to verify my high school and career program and it could send them my diplomas from both. I have my rad school stuff, but I have no clue where my high school diploma stuff is. The school probably isn’t staffed right now so that’s why they are having trouble getting it from them. My dad is supposed to be checking at home for me. If you verify my college degree, then what’s so important about high school? Really? I hope I can start one day next week. I need to make some decisions about aftercare for the school year, but waiting until I know more about what the work situation and schedule will entail before I do so. There is 19 spots left for the at school aftercare so time is of the essence.

lahdeedah, gah, I hear you. I needed to turn in everything under the sun for my jobs and it's exhausting. I was always perplexed why they needed my HS stuff too. nam2013 thanks for asking. It's gone down to the normal summer temps thank god. I wasn't the least bit surprised, but the heat killed a lot of elderly people. (atrb_partsz) If it kept going we would have had a lot more fatalities. On the last day of the worst heat (113) our power went out for a few hours. ??? While the temps are back to usual, we haven't had much rain at all so I'm worried about drought and forest fires. Last year's fires were devastating and the worst I'd seen. They made the air too toxic to go outside. It was so nasty. Really hoping that doesn't happen again. Sometimes I start to spiral about how human beings have fucked over the planet, but then I have to get it out of my mind because it leads to nothing but feeling helpless.

MH was watching a gun show yesterday. One of those sporting channel shows giving you recommendations for good shooting. He told me one of the typical bits of advice (for people who carry for self defense) is to not have a round in the chamber and they ripped that apart saying that's horrible advice and to always have a round in the chamber. This is one of the reasons we have so many gun deaths in the US. Dipshits acting like they are professionals when their only expertise is being a member of Y'all Qaeda and encouraging every vigilante moron to eliminate some of the safety precautions to not accidentally shoot anyone. Chambering a round takes a fraction of a second with practice (and if you're going to carry a gun to the grocery store you should sure as shit practice a lot) so if a fraction of a second is what causes you to die you probably would anyway since you likely don't shoot like Annie Oakley. But if a kid gets a hold of that loaded weapon they might automatically pull the trigger, but they would be highly unlikely to chamber a round first.

We are suing one of our past drivers, he stole a trailer and owes us about 12k. We have court on the 27th and unfortunately that won't be the end of it. This is just a motion hearing so he can ask for more time. But it's killing me. I am anxious and nervous and responding physically. I'm terrified of the driver, was while he worked for us. He's threatened us, our company, our farm, everything. My dad is hoping he's there, we don't have to appear but we are. He's hoping he'll fly off the handle and judge will rule in our favor. Idk. But I feel physically ill everytime I get an email from the lawyer or a phone call with a Dayton area cade... I need this to be over. Preferably with him in jail.
I'll poof later.

@lahdeehdah that’s ridiculous. I’ve never had to show my diploma from high school for a job, without one you can’t even apply to university so why would they want to see that?!?

inthekitty the abundance of guns available is still mind boggling to me. I’m glad guns are not allowed here (with a few exceptions of course).

Has anyone every used this website? eshaktiIn theory it looks awesome, you can completely customize to make the exact dress you want. But I am worried the quality would suck.

I am so tired today. I’m on my period and wonder if it’s an anemic reaction or something. I have been bad about taking my prenatals lately so I took one last night. Always something. The big kids went to the library with MIL after lunch and while they were gone I ran a couple errands. We have a bday party tomorrow so I had to pick up a gift. peachsmama that sounds awful, I hope you can settle or something so you can get it over with. @man2013 hooray! I hope you have a great visit with her!

I’ve never used them, but I’m intrigued. jewels Seems like they have a hassle free return policy, so you could order one item and test it out and if you don’t like anything about it, return it.

Oh my God! She’s here and she met dd2! The kids almost never wake up in the evening, but of course tonight they did. Ds was shook, big time. He cried for more than an hour until we finally said, ‘we’re going to take you to bed’. It was to much for him, bless his heart. He had missed he so much. Dd1 was just in utter disbelief, but in a happy way, she was on my sister lap within two seconds. It was chaos with all the tired emotional kids, but I’m over the moon!
