Morning!
M is staying home. His voice is hoarse and he just doesn't feel good. He's on the couch watching Cutthroat Kitchen. MJ is watching Cocomelon on the IPAD and I'm working on a grocery order on my laptop. All snuggled up on the couch. It's nice. I just got back from putting the others on the bus. I need to get the grocery order submitted soon so I can hopefully pick up when I have to get J from the bus.
How is everyone?
I've been posting randomly but haven't been able to keep up. I am slammed with work and PTO. Our annual carnival (expect last year) is this Friday and we are trying to get everything all wrapped up. It's crazy. This is my first year helping put it on and man. A lot goes into it. Of course there's a 58% chance of rain on Friday but we are crossing everything that it misses us or just rains in the morning.

Morning! Today I am driving to STL to pick up a new golf cart for work. Then driving back. 8 hour round trip. 😩 then tomorrow I am going BACK to STL because S has an appointment Friday morning. 🤪
I’m pretty sure that I am about to get a grade increase at work. Turns out my position was misclassified in 1995. It was discovered in an audit. So now steps are being taken to correct it. So I should be going from a 6 to a 7 very soon. I realize for the majority of you that don’t know the govt system for pay that might not mean anything to you. But it will give me more money and will also help me out in the future when competing for other jobs.

K has been rocking daycare and seems to love it. We are having her stay the whole day today, so hopefully she naps. N has a cold though, so we had 3 glorious kid free hours before she's been home sick. Mh is taking her to the pediatrician shortly (she requested he take her, ha!). We did a binax test Monday night which was negative, but likely getting a PCR today too to confirm.

Not much here today. Just catching up after being out but it was slow so it’s not a big thing. I just met with a landscaper to see what we can do for my front garden and a section in the back that is too shady for grass. I’m excited to see what he comes up with. Nothing else to report🤷♀️

How on earth did they figure that out lfig! I hope they get you what you deserve. Through an audit somehow. There were 4 positions in my field that were misclassified. Mine being one of them. I’m still trying to figure out a few things, but our HR person retired, then yesterday our administrative officer quit. So I’m probably going to have to reach out to our regional office for some clarification.

Congrats on the rate increase lfig! Sucks you won't get any retro, but glad they finally caught it! SSDD here. We have Evie's conferences tonight. Other than that, just the normal getting beat up at work.

Hey all! I have been so focused on playing this game to get Swagbucks I haven’t been doing much else on my phone. Our weekend was good, H had soccer Saturday morning and then friends’ 2 year old’s bday party that afternoon. Sunday we enjoyed DH’s last day of vacation before returning to work. The kids didn’t have school the last 2 days because of the holiday and conferences. I did zoom conferences for both girls that went really well. Both teachers said the girls are very good role models and are helpful in class. I’m glad they behave well somewhere, lol. This morning I had my annual derm appt, and that went fine. I’m trying to get all the things done before I leave for the bachelorette party on Friday. I’m still not looking forward to it but I’m going to make the best of it. Of course AF showed up today to make my mood even better.

We have a babysitter coming tonight and we're going to dinner with my coworker. MH usually doesn't tag along but we decided maybe the guys should meet at some point. Sushi and wine will be consumed.

My pcr test from this morning just came back negative. Which is a relief because dd2 has developed a cough and my brain started thinking ‘what if I have Covid without symptoms and passed it on to dd2…?’ I’m exhausted after these last couple of days. I’ve got my referral, but there a huge wait list every where, so this is going to be a challenge.

Hi from Florida. We are on the skyliner heading to Epcot. Pray for my husband. He’s scared of heights.

My jeep did the same thing it was doing before its 2.5 week stay at the dealership. I sent the service advisor multiple texts telling him this thing has serious issues.

Hi. We’ve been having steady days at work so maybe we’re turning a corner and I’ll get most of my scheduled days. I already picked up an extra day next week. I usually go a little crazy shopping during the Christmas holiday so I’m looking forward to any work days I can get so it’s covered. Of course that means I have less time to be on here during the day.
I have no desire to cook tonight, so it will probably be TJ’s vegetable fried rice and shrimp which takes no time.

mwhip they need to just give you a new car already! I wish it was that easy. Lemon laws are not easy, I have to give the dealership so many times to fix the issue. Its just such a PITA. I'd just turn it in and get another if I wouldn't have to lay the down-payment and my registration again.

I have had 3 migraine auras in 24 hours. I know it’s dehydration because I literally do not have a second to drink water at work. I’m always short paras in my room and someone’s nose is always bleeding but I love these kids so much. Last week I asked one boy if he knew my name. He said “teacher.” I said “I am your teacher but my name is Miss Who.” He now calls me “Miss Who.” 😂
Took all 4 kids for flu shots today. Then I spent far to log scrapping up cash for pumpkin sales and stuff like that.

lfig congrats about the sort of promotion. That sucks about no back pay, but at least moving forward in the long run that's a nice increase. chrisy01 is this a business or pleasure trip? Either way have a great time! MH won't go on the ferris wheel at DCA so years ago I sent him a video clip of us in the swaying cars and just that made him uncomfortable. 😂

The ambiance should be great. They do but your wedding design has to be signed off by James Cameron so it doesn’t happen very often. They are the first couple to have both their wedding and reception there.
