Today started with a cancelled meeting, a coworker blaming a system admin that instructions weren’t properly written and their manager changed the request on them, and me pulling my bodice of the dress I need in 2 1/2 weeks apart to fix the lining.
Bonus I didn’t rip the fabric and only need to fix the lining and re-attach it.

I'm drowning. In everyday shit plus the extra. The kids had snow days last Thursday and Friday so I made a poor attempt at WFH with 3 kids. MH was out of town on his annual guys trip this weekend so it was 4 days solo. Exhausted. Today I was going to get caught up on work buuuuut the kids had a 2 hour delay because of the condition of the school parking lots and sidewalks...UM wtf were you guys doing this weekend?! The storm finished up on Friday, gah. I guarantee if parents knew the school grounds needed attention they'd have gone and shoveled that shit themselves. Also the baby woke up burning up last night and has a sour belly, so he's home with me today. MH calls and says he's on his way home early around lunch time to help, gets here, and must take a 40 min poop. I will never understand why that is a thing and why it must be immediately upon arrival. Not helpful, man. So I was an hour and a half late to pump because clingy baby would not allow me to put him down and poop takes priority. Anyway, not much catching up on work has happened. Just getting further behind. Welcome to the PBJ sob story. The dog's surgery is Thursday so I'm anxious about that.
One bright spot: I convinced J that we needed a sectional. Our couch and loveseat a la 2013 still look great but they are shallow and uncomfortable and damnit we deserve better. Come April we will have a beautiful, deep, comfortable sectional and I am so very excited.

We had a 3 day weekend because of the snow on Friday. It was nice to have nowhere to be all weekend but I’m happy to have the girls back at school today. Why do they fight and bicker and constantly touch each other?! Does this ever end??
I’m looking forward to some warmer temperatures this week (hitting 40 degrees for the first time since November! Yay!). Hopefully the side walks all clear up because the girls are dying to take their Christmas scooters outside.

I have a customer who hasn't paid me $$$ for a year. I finally signed on a lawyer and she wrote him a wonderful demand letter. I love it. This customer is a total ass and I want him to feel scared that I'm going to take him to court (which 100% I will at this point - I should have done it sooner).

Monday mornings are always so blahh. Today my dogs are at daycare, testing out a boarding option for when we are on vacation. The lady seems great and has a huge fenced backyard so my boys are having a grand old time running around and playing. I had 45 minutes this morning where I was alone, at my house, with no other humans or animals here. I am not sure when that has ever happened before, at least since having children. So wild. I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the couch and that was that. Other than that we have a normal week scheduled. Weather is looking warmer this week so hoping to spend lots of time outdoors.

Ran a few errands when I got up, including picking up the new leggings I ordered. They're so cozy lol. Got home just in time to tune in for a work meeting which I have no clue why I was involved in it and basically just sat there while 2 people yelled at each other because management kind of screwed up and basically gave them both the same job. It's a shit show. Finally got around to having my coffee, which was very much needed, and called speech therapy to return a phone call - we're going to start back up soon I guess. I still need to call the dentist office back, but that'll have to be a TIT because I was exhausted after all of that and they're now closed.

Normal Monday here. I got one cup of coffee in this morning before needing to get ready for the day. New client started; I like her, and I think the dog will respond well to training.
Then, I ran some errands and came back to take the dog for a good walk and then catch up on emails.
I made a pour- over mug of coffee with a tiny bit of milk and a cinnamon stick.
R has a hockey game tonight, so looking forward to watching that

pbandj714 I hope you’re surviving the week 💜. You deserve a break! Thanks for thinking of me charlotte! I am surviving, though not sure if it's getting better or worse. The baby was home with me Monday and Tuesday with a tummy bug, which I then came down with Tuesday night. I slept just about all day yesterday. So glad to be feeling better today. Just talked to the vet and the dog's surgery went well today; however, he's not sure it will even help with her limping because he found significant bone growth in the leg and took a sample for histopathology. Won't speculate on what it is just yet but my mind immediately goes to the C word. She's a boxer after all, it's so common.
