I am sorry you are in such a tough spot w those offers snoopmommymom. i am sure the recruiter is frustrated too as it sounds like she has to go through a lot of bureaucracy to get decisions.

I'm sure the hr people are hesitant whether I'm the right fit because of my non-traditional (education) background.

I'm sorry snoopmommymom how frustrating! It sounds like there are a lot of people involved in hiring for one position, which IME, makes it hard for everyone to get on the same page.

sorry snoopmommymom, you are right, and I have been saying it all along, this is like dating. It's terrible. And I haven't even gotten an interview yet, so you're ahead of the game on that!!

I am so unbelievably exhausted right now. Like I don't even feel like I have the energy to take a shower. In the next hour they'll both be asleep, and I can collapse on the couch.

I am so excited right now! I mentioned that 2 friends had babies right before Chase was born, one via adoption. She learned later that year that she had undiagnosed Celiac's, which can cause infertility. She's been following a strict diet and they were planning to adopt again soon... But now she's pregnant!! I'm so freaking excited right now!

Too many cooks in the kitchen... My dad sees this frequently in the recruiting world. Usually that's when the client comes to him for help b/c they haven't been able to hire someone on their own. It's obnoxious.

wedding he is doing a bit better. He is out from under the bed and I gave him both wet and dry food at dinner and he ate a little of each. He's laying on my bed now, so I guess he's sleeping with me tonight.

Awesome joelies! How exciting! Hopefully it all goes as planned peachsmama, my rule is to add 30% of the quoted time onto what contractors tell me. I know, I know...I'm a total buzz kill 😐

What a long day.
B got stung by ANOTHER bee. Or maybe a yellowjacket? I'm not sure. Cannot make this stuff up. We survived dinner at the lobster pound, then got home and C spilled a full dish of puree on the living room rug; 10 minutes later I dropped a full cup of applesauce in the kitchen (applesauce makes a huge mess, if anyone is curious). Got C down, then 5 minutes after putting B to bed (they share a room here), C starts wailing and B is yelling downstairs, "Mommy, C's crying". Come to find out, he woke her up by "talking to her". Why, B? "Because I do." Well, then.
Pass the wine.

Jack's excuse is "that's why" well when you put it that way..
