I am only working today and Thursday because C is having his tonsils out tomorrow. I am trying to keep busy but plowed through so much in the first hour being here that I am sure to get bored soon and my mind will wander. I do have an errand to run at 9:30 so that will break up the day a bit.

I got up to shower this morning and normally if the boys wake up they come stand in the bathroom and ask me if I'm done yet lol. But this time I was drying off and heard them get up and shuffle out to the living room with all their toys they slept with and they didn't barge in on me. It was amazing. I got in my robe without hearing "is that your butt?" Lol.
Trying to meal plan and make a grocery order while at work today. We have a customer that passed so we're dealing with his children and wife. Who are in a fight over what the will says (last updated in 1967..) and what his accounts list as beneficiaries. Boss thinks that they're all money hungry jerks and won't deal with it. Mean while I'm getting 4 calls a week from them and it's driving me nuts. Just finish the account so we can get them off my back!

Morning! Just popping in to say hi, we're still in unpacking/settling-in hell.
We seem to be in a great location (the all-important ChickFilA is less than a half mile away) and once I get the house all set up I think it'll be very cute. It's a classic ranch style and I've never lived in one before, but I'm liking it!
Kids are doing well; I drove them up on Friday and what used to take me 8-9 hours to drive now takes closer to 11 😜🍷🍷 They were amazing so I really have no room to complain, although my voice was hoarse at the end after 11 hours of Disney sing-alongs and answering all 7000 of Bradley's questions, ha.
Hope you all have a great week!

Morning! I'm staying home with a sick h who is currently running around like a mad man. He had a 102.6 fever last night and still at 5am. I'm not sure what's going on especially since he's been on antibiotics for 6 days. Luckily he has his 15 month well check this afternoon so they can recheck his ears.

GM everyone. Glad you made it safely w the kiddos flamingo! I think the ranch style is great for not having to lug kids and clothes/toys/everything else up and down stairs. Hope H feels better slenle.

Morning! I have a busy later part of my day so we are just relaxing this morning. Today is day one of the slow wean. No more nursing during the day, just wake up and before bed. S is going to be mad at naptime. This afternoon I have my annual physical, in which I will be bringing both kids. I plan to bring the kindle for H to keep her occupied. Then I work from 6:30-9:30 tonight.

I am going to officially accept my offer today. I just had one last question for the recruiter, trying to negotiate a better leave accrual rate for myself. I don't actually expect them to do it since the salary came in as more than I expected, but hey - doesn't hurt to try! It would be nice to not have to take our Thanksgiving trip as unpaid, since I wouldn't have enough leaver accrued to cover it otherwise.

I'm on the shuttle on the way to work. I almost called out, I'm just over it. Boss L keeps having pull data for a meeting with legal and then never does the meeting. Either have it or don't have me do the work. I know it's her cancelling it too because the admin keeps calling me asking why she cancelled. Grr...

Morning! It rained this morning and was substantially cooler than it's been, which was amazing for my run. Then the boys slept in until it was time to get up - apparently all the bouncing and walks with DH's family tuckered them out thoroughly, haha. Anyhow just a normal day in the office, but I've got a dinner out with a couple former coworkers tonight, which I'm super excited for. I'm sure I'll come home to the place looking like a bomb went off and the lunch bags still full of dirty, used containers, but I'll deal with that later.

Morning! I'm eating breakfast on our front porch and it's down pouring. I love it, I hope it rains all day!
Not much going on here today. We're going to the gym once I get moving, and then I have some errands to run and should really go paint, but if the rain keeps up I may be convinced to make it a movie day!
