You guys. I was in a meeting today and someone called someone whose initials are JG jaygee. The way I jumped thinking they were talking to me. Btw. My initials are not JG. Nothing about my name is close to my screen name. I’m laughing. But we all know your name is Julia Guglia though...

I am a Debbie Downer today. I keep crying at my desk like a weirdo, but the bathroom is too far away to walk to every 5 minutes. I'm changing all of our financial stuff from his email to mine and it's physically painful. My hair looks fucking awful. I despise the sweater I'm wearing. My new makeup is a shade too light, so I look like one of those ghost children in that movie The Others. I want to go home and curl up on the sofa and try it all again tomorrow. I really need to find a young widow's support group.

If it’s too much and you have someone you trust let them change the emails. And yes find a support group if that will help!

Please don’t hesitate to PM me- I know my situation is very different now but I was in your shoes 13 years ago. Sending you more love. Be gentle with yourself.

Do you have someone you can ask to find a few and send their info your way? If not, just text me your zip code and I will find some for you in person and virtual. I’m DMing you my # in case you don’t have it anymore. 💛💔

We're taking a last minute trip to Disney too! For the first time ever, DD's school has a week off in February. For some reason i thought it was on ExH's week, but i double checked and nope, it's MY WEEK! My parents were nice enough to let us use their DVC points so we can stay at the Grand Californian. I'm so, so excited! We are taking my kinder and 3rd grader for their first time to Disney on Leap Day. We're telling them it's a once in a 4 year opportunity so they don't ask to go every month the rest of the year LOL.

Please dm me if you’d like to connect.

Wakanda Forever was eligible for Oscar consideration and did in fact get nominations and won one. Best Picture just wasn't one of them which I cannot say I have an issue with. To me, best picture is a movie that knocked you off your feet. I am not a member of the Academy so there's that too.

Also with the Oscars at least this is my theory, they will often fuck up and then the next year a person will win for a role that wasn't as great as roles in the past where they might not have one the Oscar you thought they deserved.

This year has been off to a horrible start for so many people I know. I really hope that January is the worst month and its all uphill from here.

Doing a rapid travel turnaround. I bought tickets for me and my family to go see the Lions watch party at Ford Field. I was supposed to get home last night but my flight was delayed so I'm going to have to go home, do laundry, repack and leave tomorrow, plus I'm leaving from Detroit to go to Vancouver. Bit of a crazy trip but I'm really looking forward to seeing my family and enjoying the atmosphere at Ford Field. Go Lions!

It's 75* outside today, my kids were confused on how to dress for school today and all the plants in my yard are dead from the freeze. What is this place we live in?

I’m not even a lions fan but my family is and the excitement is real!

We had a few days of really cold and snow. Now it's 55, raining, the snow is all melting- my snowdrops are coming up, my rhododendron has buds on it. Gross.

We had pretty gross wintry weather this morning but it must have snuck up on everyone and there were no delayed openings. It looks like it will turn to rain by dismissal time.

I am still having sciatic nerve pain, so working on my feet for seven hours a day has been…tough. I am almost out of sick time, though, so I am hobbling around with a cane.
I also have one of those deep, almost barking coughs, and it is not helping the leg thing since all of my muscles tense when I cough. Not sure when I should go to the doctor for the cough because I’m not sure what they’ll be able to do, but it all sucks at the moment.

We had a nature program this morning and it was so cute! Nephew and DS2 loved it. We met up with SIL and her kiddos and had lunch which is our Friday tradition.
All 3 littles napped at the same time (a small miracle because niece (6m) fights sleep like no other) and I got so much done!
It’s not so bad out so I’ll be bundling up nephew and DS2 after nap for some outside time. I might trek all them out for a nice walk- but we shall see how much energy I have.

DD1 for the last two years has been talking about the gifted program for 8th. It is a STEM based program and she has been wanting to place into it. She loves science and math and also LOVES the teacher for it. (She does DDs science homebound). The placement test is in a few weeks and I am a ball of nerves about it. Mostly because I know she would be devastated if she didn’t place in. Luckily there are other factors besides the placement test (teacher recommendation, grades, Benchmark tests, etc) I definitely am checking my nerves though about it because I don’t want her to be anxious and worry.

I applied for a position that would have been a step up (go from coder to auditor/educator) but got the rejection email today. It was a long shot but I'm still bummed.
