Good morning!
Back at work, SSDD
B's day care opened up their slots for "specials programs", and registration was 9 AM. I had to sign up while driving to work and I'm glad I did as all the slots he wanted were taken by 9:15 (when I arrived at the office).
We had a busy Saturday, then Sunday the boys and I got our flu shots then I took them to Target for a small toy for behaving. B hasn't been in a store in so long, he was just so excited to be there lol.

Morning.
I’m at work. It’s definitely a Monday. I had to stop to put air in my tires since my pressure was low because of the cooler weather. Then there was a traffic accident so I got to work late. No big deal since it’s not too busy.
Just got my booster. FX I have no symptoms because I have to work tomorrow, too. Nothing else happening.

I've been reading but every time I go to check in and I get distracted by some thing. I hope everyone is doing well. Nothing interesting happening over here. The kids had their schools fall festival on Saturday and this week's schedule is wonky because of conferences so two half days and a three hour delayed start. I've got nothing planned for today, so I just took an extremely long time to straighten my hair and I am now sitting in my robe.

Morning! I just put in my time off request for around Christmas...can't believe that will be here before we know it. I'm also kind of sad that it will be the first year since Evie was born, I can't take the entire week between Christmas and New Years off, but I don't want to use all the time I have accumulated so far. And since H will likely be home during that time, it's a lot of family time!
I'm also sad that I will likely still be here. I did have a call last week with another job, but I'm waiting to hear if I signed a non-compete at my current job because I don't remember and the other position is basically the exact same position, same type of company. Every day is getting harder here. For example, the newer lady they hired for processes, who does zero to help us out with the day to day shit, sits on the other side of my cubicle wall and talks to our boss pretty regularly. During her conversations, she is constantly lowering her voice/whispering her conversation, which seems childish. If you are having conversations that we can't hear, go elsewhere. I just have such a hard time getting myself here daily.
I'm taking my Jeep back in tomorrow to drop off for them to keep and see if they can diagnose the issue. It's so intermittent, but the codes it throws should still be there for them to see.

I'm sorry about the job situation mwhip. It's so hard when somewhere you spend so much time sucks the life out of you.

This is my 1 day off out of ten 10+ hour days. I have a massage scheduled. My right leg has been really messed up so hopefully that does something. I'm also going to try to get in extra training at TKD because my belt test is Friday night and Saturday morning.

M's birthday is Sunday. Last year we did a themed (Monty Python) scavenger hunt to find her gift. We had costumes and props and the girls had a ball. We did it because with Rona there was no party. Problem is they loved it so now it apparently needs to become a tradition. Unfortunately my boss picked this week to make us all come into the office and with my TKD test I won't have free time for planning and prep. She mentioned a Stranger Things themed game. She has a Demogorgon costume since that's what she'll be for Halloween. I'm just struggling to come up with a storyline. She's also into Squid Games because she plays a cheesy phone game of it and keeps hearing about it although she's never watched it of course. It'd be totally inappropriate but easy to plan as I could just have them play the games from th show and shoot them with Nerf darts. But... yeah... inappropriate.

I'm here. I have extra kids today. First time since the summer. The little girl seems to hate Mallory less, so thats good. Matthew is so congested, and his poor nose is raw. I kept him home 2 days last week for a cough and hoarse voice. Thats all better and now just the runny nose plus congestion. We are off school today so hoping he feels well enough to go tomorrow.
Our carnival on Friday went well. I haven't heard what we made but I know we did good. And the rain storm that we were supposed to get, only lasted 2 minutes. We lucked out.
Saturday we had our last soccer games, which Matthew didn't go to because he wasn't feeling well enough. But I'm glad soccer is over. The boys were over it. Basketball for Matthew starts on November 3rd. The week after we get back from our anniversary trip. So not much of a sports break. But at least it's all indoors and only one practice night a week.
Yesterday we worked in the yard and got our pool completely closed. I need to finish weedeating and mowing today.
We leave Friday morning for our anniversary trip. My MIL is taking care of the kids and I'm so nervous.... I know everyone will be fine but it's just. I've never left them for more than 1 night and this will be 6....

klong11 my building was new when we moved in about 7 years ago but it's still a dumpy POS. The HVAC is completely off. My office is either hot or freezing so I have a cardigan that stays there and never leaves.

Josie got sent home for excess sneezing. The poor thing went through four masks in the morning. She's home now, eating the lunch I packed and binging the second season of the babysitters club. I'm going to take her tomorrow morning to get tested. So annoying.

I think my mattress is the main factor in my back pains. I swear every day I wake up with pain in a new spot in my back. So annoying. It’s only 1 year old, so I may just try to get a good topper for it before I try to get rid of it. If anyone has one they recommend, please do.

I'm sure it's just a cold. I think sneezing into the masks did her in. She didn't put up any fight when the her teacher asked her to go to the nurse.

I was feeling my throat and was congested this morning (I am most mornings, but sometimes I let it get in my head), so I booked another Covid test. I just got the results, negative.
It’s a mess in my house since we’re leaving early Wednesday morning. I’m usually quite organised, not this time arrive… My sister is so happy we’re coming and the kids are elated. But I’m very nervous.

I wish the girls would watch Babysitters Club with me. I tried 2 episodes with them and they acted like they were being punished.

We had a super busy weekend of sports then decided last minute to go to Six Flags last night. It was ridiculously crowded and we were up way too late for a Sunday so everyone is cranky today.
The positive is I got a new para today. She was a teacher in Peru for 15 years but isn’t licensed here but she was fantastic and speaks Spanish so I hope I get to keep her.
