It’s been insane here the last 48 hours.
Today I’m training day 2 for the new members of my old team and get to eat at a nice restaurant care of my old team. They are celebrating my temp assignment that I start on Thursday. School work is killing me. I feel like it is over my head and struggling to keep up.
C is no longer in a traditional cast but in the air cast again for at least 3 weeks. So hopefully it’s the last of it. It’s hard doing more housework around the house, plus my schoolwork, plus working 50+ hours a week.

A is using the last of his vacation time before it resets so he's off the rest of this week. I stopped for a muffin, paid property taxes (buh bye money!) And got a chipped nail fixed. Now I need to go run some other errands and try to get home by lunch.

chrisy01 Sorry things are so overwhelming right now. I don't know how you do it...there is no way I could handle school on top of a FT job AND kid(s). I hope you get a break soon.

BIL surgery is tomorrow. It’s scary. It starts at 8 in the morning & should be done by 4. Which feels like a really long time. It sucks we can’t be with my sister and help her kill time.
I had breakfast with a friend this morning. Which was a nice distraction and welcome 2 hours without kids. We’re ordering Indian food tonight, tons of food in the house, but not in the mood to cook.

morning! I'm exhausted today. I haven't been sleeping great, and S actually peed the bed last night. He woke me up at 5 AM and was soaking wet. He literally hasn't had an accident since he was 3, so I was so confused. He told me he had a dream he was peeing and woke up wet. I stripped his bed and washed him down really quick and told him to go sleep in the guest room so I didn't have to remake the bed. Then I never fell back asleep

Damn jewels, that's a horrible way to start your day. I also have dreams I'm trying to find a bathroom, then wake up needing to use the restroom BAD. I hate those dreams because in most of them, I find a restroom, but something is wrong, toilet seat missing, toilet clogged, etc. They're like my version of a nightmare.

I did my civic duty and voted. I had been putting it off because I wasn't in the mind frame to sit down and research. Turns out there was just one levy and that was it. Now I'm trying to find the motivation to get through some work this morning and take doggo on a walk.

I have those dreams ALL THE TIME! And then I usually can't find a bathroom and have to pee somewhere random, like a potted plant or something. I often wake up thinking I peed the bed lol.

I always check the sheets just to make sure. I'm sorry you couldn't go back to sleep after cleaning him up.

I'm at the office. My sister has bene playing Mario with H since I left this morning. We got extra wii remotes and he's obsessed with playing mario & donkey kong 2 player because you play together, not games separately. He also talks you through the game. while playing Mario he'll call you brother and when we play donkey kong, he likes to be the little monkey and he calls you dad. It's hilarious.

HR just came over and asked if I would have time to discuss how things are going. I know she talked to another buyer yesterday, so I'm not surprised by this. I have to figure out how honest I'm going to be, so that I don't get myself fired!

And you all have heard the stories of my last job!! I'd say tell them.

Last night was A's first night in his bed. I woke up excited thinking he'd slept in it all night. Get up, he's not in there. Not in any other bedroom. I ran downstairs and he was just passed out on the couch! I'm shocked he didn't come in my room!

Long day here. Everyone was whiny. I’m glad I get to go to work tonight. Only 23 more days till school starts. I was texting my sister earlier and I can drop the big kids off with her on Thursday and then it’s just me, dh and V for the weekend!

We are having a great time and have walked a ton. We are headed out for dinner soon.
I texted my MIL to FT with C. We have each night and it’s been great. C shows us everything he has done and is happy to talk to us. My MIL texted tonight when I asked if it was a good time that she would rather not FT every night because it made my niece sad. I assume she was sad after talking to her parents? Idk. I’m annoyed but don’t want my niece to be sad or put MIL in a position where she allows one kid to do it and not another. I miss my boy though☹️

Lol @ A. wineallthetime You must have a super comfy couch. chrisy01 Sorey you are overwhelmed. Anything C can do to lighten your load? Meal plan or cook? Laundry? Anything? Vent away here if you need.

Hi. Today was slow at work, but somehow I managed to keep busy. I had some annuals to get through so I tried to knock them out. MH made it to his conference. I’m just hoping he is safe and makes it home covid free. I may make him wear a mask over the weekend and get him tested. School starts next week and I don’t want anything keeping the kids home yet again.
