Monday gah

[sarenu]

It’s the Monday after our spring break.

How is it going?

[sarenu]

I know I’ve used this gif before, but it feels very appropriate for this Monday.

It’s sunny and 20 degrees.

We were slow but got all 3 to where they need to be today.

Plans this week include washing bedding, cleaning clothing out cause PTO has a spring clean out event this weekend and I want them to get some money for it, registering kids for school next year, and doing taxes.

I may take a day off this week to deal with everything.

Same weather sarenu here. My kids are on spring break this week and begging to go out and play but it's just a bit too cold to spend significant time out there.

I have a job interview in about 30 minutes.

We are headed to my parents cabin for a few days at the end of the week. It is going to be muddy but warmer so the kids should have a blast tromping around the woods.

Back to the grind, here. Coffee with mint-cookie creamer and no real breakfast (just scraps from lunch making lol)

I have found that I really enjoy taking the dog to the bus stop park in the mornings so we can work and play for 15-20min first thing. I think it sets a good tone for the day and helps her settle a little better, too. It's good for both of us.

Now, I need to get in a quick workout before prepping for two new clients.

Good luck rhymeswithdisco!

Work is mostly what's happening this week. It's end of month and I'm trying to do some extra work so I have maybe don't have to pay for my dentures for the next 2 years (by my quick back of envelope calculations).
I do need to get to Walmart at some point today to pick up some sugar (it's on a big sale) and then run down to pick up some stuff that I won in an auction. I really want to start putting together the kids Easter baskets but trying to tell myself it's too early lol.

I had 72 emails in my work inbox this morning. 🙄

This morning I registered DS1 for summer soccer camp. I’m taking Thursday off of work because I have a few appointments.

One of those is the dentist, which means I’m panic-flossing while bleeding profusely every day this week.

[rhymeswithdisco]

Well, my kids just completely ruined my interview. Fuck.

[sarenu]

Omg, I’m so sorry disco.

Kids home during work is always a shit show.

That just sucks.

[mc13]

Ugh so sorry rhymeswithdisco!

[mc13]

Same weather here! We have about 3 inches of snow. 😩

R is home with me until at least Wednesday, potentially all week. Luckily, she is more than happy to entertain herself most of the day.

Other than that, it’s going to be a quiet week.

[charlotte]

Uuugh noo rhymeswithdisco. So frustrating. I hope the interviewers were understanding.

ugh rhymeswithdisco that sucks.

The weather here is total shit today, and was yesterday as well. It is so cold and windy and I am just angry about it. IT IS SPRING!!!! The wind feels like it has come straight down from the north pole.

I did have breakfast out with MH this morning with lots of coffee and a nice and spicy bloody mary, so that helped my mood a bit. I think I mentioned that MH submitted his resignation and is starting a new job in June. Well, his old employer called him last week and offered him a real sweet deal for some part-time work so he signed that contract today and will be starting that in July, in addition to the other new job. He is really excited about both, but he will be away for several days at a time instead of a night or two at a time like we are used to so we will see how it all goes. Even with both new jobs, he will be working less days overall than he is now with the 1 job, but he won't be working 5-15 min from home anymore. Anyway, change is afoot. At least we aren't moving because I love it here and would be crushed.

It’s an exciting day learning about Jira.

I’m in the calm before the storm of 2 projects. So I’m trying to get some training and skills completed while I have spare time.

[rhymeswithdisco]

Well, in a completely surprising twist, I have a second interview on Thursday. When my kids will be at my parents.

[charlotte]

Yayyy rhymeswithdisco! That’s great. I’m sure you’ll knock their socks off in an interview where you can fully focus.

[tj]

rhymeswithdisco you totally deserve it! Rock that second interview gal!
