RunsforWineandCarbs is right hiimjamie I was listening to your governor today and I think his exact words were something like "you can find a new job. You can't replace your family"

abominationsnowman, I hope your contractions have eased up! Sorry littlest is under the weather skinandbones! Keeping your dad in my thoughts, Betweenthelines. My dad had a very similar situation a couple years ago. It is routine, but even routine procedures are nerve wracking.

I know time off without pay isn't really doable for a lot of people (it wouldn't be for me) especially knowing you may have a lot of expenses coming up.

It has been a day. And its nowhere close to being over yet.
The morning started with Liam throwing an epic tantrum because I wouldn't read Goodnight Moon to him in the rocking chair while he tucked his bear into bed at 7 in the damn morning. No kiddo. It's morning. We get up and eat breakfast.
Finally got breakfast in him, and went to get ready myself and promptly threw up (luckily I hadn't had breakfast yet, so it wasn't much). So much for the diclegis helping.
Then it was off to take mom to chemo, which meant entertaining a 2 year old for 90 minutes. I contemplated going to the local mall, but I was exhausted. So we stayed in the parking lot in the car, and I let him roam around the car and watch "Malmo" (Elmo) on the tablet.
Then home for lunch. Threw up again. Liam ran around the house like a banshee.
Dropped Liam off at the sitter, then came home to relax for half an hour before driving into work (didn't want to throw up on myself).
And now I'm at work, and well, it's work so it sucks.
For all those going to be affected by the hurricane: stay safe and take it seriously. Mother Nature does not fuck around. I really hope there is no lasting damage for anyone here.

hiimjamie this just came up on my phone right after I read your posts Hah! What a coincidence. They're letting us take time off excused. If we have time we can use it to get paid, if we don't have time we can take unpaid excused time. Thinking of missing my best friends wedding is eating me up. They just put out the 5pm update and it's even more went (towards us) now.

Trigger kid napping and sexual adult mentioned
There is a 15 yr old girl who has been missing for a month in a city about 2 hrs north of here. They suspected foul play because of how she went missing and what was left behind. Well, she was found yesterday, alive. She was kidnapped by 3 men and assaulted many times. I know this is depressing but this young lady (15 yrs old) managed to escape her captures. They had her in a duffle bag in a the back of a truck and she got out. When no one was around to help her, she tried to find someone, she swam across a fucking lake. A lake! She found someone, who recognized her, and then called the police. She said they had attempted to kill her 3 times. You guys my Goodness. The strength and courage this 15 year old has. I hope she gets the help she needs to cope and move on.

Poppy has started singing John Lennon's "oh yoko," but she sings it, "oh yo-poppy!" It's super cute.

Path directly aimed at orlando, this should be fun. Said no one ever. I'm glad I took this serious from day 1. I am taking a half day unpaid to finish securing the house and packing up for my moms. A few hours unpaid is worth my piece of mind during times like this.

hiimjamie south Georgia is going to get hit, but up closer to me it won't be nearly as bad. Let me know if you want me to check hotels in the area.

Hi! Late checking in today (obviously.)
My cycling meds are still giving me annoying side effects. I had a two day headache that turned into a migraine last night. So glad I had my H, he did everything for M, cooked to ensure I ate, and green this morning went into work late to clean the kitchen.
We had our second session with the new speech therapist. She is such a better fit than the previous one. The session is basically both if us interacting with M as she points out key strategies to me to build his vocabulary. I feel so much better about this process now.
