I had told myself I needed to adjust my attitude and figure this out. Then as I'm going through emails this morning, I see an email from the lady (I will call her MA) I work with that just reiterates why this is not the place for me.
Wednesday, we received an email from our Philippines facility to change a sales order. I told MA that I was pretty sure I understood it, but I wanted her to go over it with me, so I didn't mess things up. This is for a large customer she is supposed to be handing over to me. They are complicated, but she's picking and choosing what she has me do. I told her Thursday and Friday that I wanted to review it and I would handle it. She never took the time to go over it with me. Instead, she sent an email at 6pm Friday to everyone that she made all the changes. She could have taken 5 minutes out of either of those days and confirmed what I had questions on, but instead, she chose to stay late (as usual), making herself look like a martyr, and did it herself. This is a consistent happening here. And no one will talk to her about it.

mwhip I certainly am not. I wish I could be a stay at home mom. I simply do not care enough about work…

Morning. Day of little things around the house, nap refusing 10mo, picking up kids etc. I’m getting drinks with coworkers at 4, just to catch up informally. It’s nice, but also a sinking ‘we’re back’ feeling…

Today is the girls' skip day. We're taking them to the fair. Since it's a weekday it shouldn't be too crowded and masks are required. They have hand washing stations everywhere. I think the mask requirement will keep most covidiots away.
I can't wait for Fiesta corn.

E is still sick. So I’m starting later so I can take L to school so E and L don’t have to be in a car together. If she’s not better by 1 I will be working from home tomorrow.

mwhip Do you BC the boss you talked to on emails to her asking for guidance? I would start doing that so he knows you are, in fact, making the effort to do those things and she just isn’t willing to let someone else do it. Let him know that you will start doing that so he knows you are making every attempt to do what she takes over. Sorry this is so frustrating. chrisy01 Hope E feels better soon.

Hello! Rough morning here. L wouldn't get on the bus. Like screaming, clinging to me. I couldn't even walk on the bus and set her down. It was awful. I ended up driving her. Was a bit of a struggle getting her to stay buckled in the car and she cried the whole way. I hope tomorrow is better but don't have high hopes.

Morning.
We got our negative results back yesterday. Since M2 was back to his normal self yesterday and no fever since Saturday afternoon, off to school he went this morning. I’m off for a couple days. MH is also off today and I will try not to be annoyed. He already had questions about what I was going to do today and I was just like dude- can I get out of bed and have my coffee first?! Lol
I have a facial scheduled after lunch and will hit up the gym before lunch. That’s all I got.
When I first opened my phone this AM, the first thing I saw was Pfizer’s announcement about the kids vaccine and I was like- is this real?? Lol. Then I had a moment of- wait- do I want M to take it ASAP?? I don’t know why because I’ve been waiting for this, but I definitely had a moment of pause. Please universe, let M be safe and free of covid until he gets his shot. We are so close.

wineallthetime, did something happen that makes her not want to ride the bus? Or not want to go to school? Or is it just a Monday morning?

Got in the shower this morning to find that Cadence had smeared conditioner all over the edge of the tub and filled a bowl with body wash. When I woke her up I stated that if she's going to continue to waste the products, then she'll be paying for the next bottles. Her response was, "I was working on the cure for the common cold."
...well, f@ck. Fine, waste it all, but if you find the cure be sure to share your millions with me. LOL

lahdeedah I almost forwarded the email to my boss this morning. Of course, I had just told MA over our cube wall that I wanted her to review it with me, so I don't have proof that I tried. And I don't think she did it trying to get me in trouble. More of a, she won't take the time to show me and just does it, but then people expect me to be doing everything for this specific customer and I'm not. Like last Tuesday, we have a call every Tuesday at 8pm. Our ops manager tried to call me out for part shortages for same customer. I have been asking MA for MONTHS to review the suppliers with me, because they're weird, and she hasn't taken the time. So I get called out and I very bitchy stated I needed MA to sit down and review them with me. MA and the account rep both piped up quickly with where things were, but it irritates me that people expect me to be the expert on it and I'm clueless because she's too busy to show me things. She has poor time management, the inability to tell people no, and control issues and I'm the one who has to figure this out.

wineallthetime that's so sad. Does she do the same when your ex has to take her to school as well? That would make for such a rough start to the day. klong11 Evie likes to waste shower gel as well. It drives me crazy. I don't let her use my good body washes, only the ones we buy at dollar store.

I discovered I left my work ID at home. I was past the point where I could turn around. C is meeting me at the school parking lot. While I wait in the car drop off line. It takes 30 minutes to drive to school. He’s annoyed but oh well. All he’s going to do today is snuggle with E so he can take an hour to bring me something for my job.

chrisy01, mwhip, both good ideas. I'll have to get her her own and put it in the travel size container. Shes always making weird concoctions when she's in there. Bath paint, soap, shampoo. Whatever she can get her hands on.

And thank you to everyone who clicked on the link. Both kids get to do the “cookie party” at school in a few weeks because we have enough shares.

Hey. I just caught up on this weekends post and I had things I wanted to comment on but I forgot most of it by the end. Saturday was very busy. H had soccer in the morning, both my parents and ILs came to watch. She is getting much more aggressive getting after the ball. It’s a lot more fun to watch soccer this year. At the end of the game she got kicked in the stomach by one of the other kids so of course the world was ending. Then one of our friends rented an aerator for the lawn and asked if we wanted to use it before he returned it so DH did that, then took it (and the big kids) to his parents house to do their yard too. In the evening we went to H’s neighbor friend’s baptism at the Mormon church. It was interesting, her dad baptized and confirmed her, they do it in a big bathtub thing that is built into the floor. V didn’t want to sit, of course, but I don’t think she was too much of a distraction.
Yesterday DH had soccer in the morning and after he got home we went to the apple orchard. It was high 80s and super windy which isn’t perfect apple picking weather. We found enough good ones to fill our bag. The orchard changed owners this year and they added a bunch of new fun activities, like a corn pit, zip lines, and bouncing pillows. V really enjoyed crawling around in the corn pit. We stopped at my sister’s house for a little bit afterwards. I ended up taking a nap when we got home, so then I was up late.
This morning it was raining pretty good so H convinced me to drive them to school instead of riding the bus. Of course while I was sitting in the car line waiting the rain slowed to almost nothing. I have a few errands to run today. V is now stuffy and coughing like her sisters.

wineallthetime, did something happen that makes her not want to ride the bus? Or not want to go to school? Or is it just a Monday morning? She doesn't want to go to school. She said it's boring and soooooo long. She also only does this days I'm home because she wants to stay with me. It's not so bad when G takes her, especially because he goes to work right after.

ugh I'm sorry wineallthetime those mornings are the worst! I would do a bribe of if you go to school without complaining X number of days then you can get a specific toy or whatever. Then mark the days off so she can see. Once she breaks the habit of it in the mornings, she will hopefully be fine and you won't need to keep it up.
