Not the weekend

[LED]

I'm over today already. Fx it goes quickly. I've been up since 1a thanks to insomnia. I'm really hoping for an easy day.

Tomorrow is my mother's helper's last day. I hired her to play outside with R, but now that it's cold and wet every morning there's no point in her coming over. Boo. I'm really going to miss that time to sit still and drink my coffee.

[loveswaffles]

LED I agree, boo! Can’t she still come over and entertain R for a bit inside while you enjoy peace and quiet?

[loveswaffles]

I woke at 3:30 to DD coughing the scariest cough I ever heard, I thought it was croup. And she was all panicked because she was coughing so much she was struggling to breath. Turns out its just a cold and post nasal drip.

I have a work trip in just over two weeks and I want to be excited but DH is being a downer. Oh well, going shopping because I am sure I need some new clothes for this trip.

That's what she's doing today, but it seems an unnecessary expense if they're just staying inside.

I'm just about done with the lady that calls me for sub jobs. I'm about to take my name off the classified list (which is everything besides teaching.) When I first started the time they called averaged at the 8-8:15 being pretty late for jobs that day & the usual time is around 7:45-7:50 she calls. So once 8:30-9 rolls around & I haven't received a call, I'm in the mindset of okay, I'm not going in today unless something comes up on the website for teaching jobs.
There's been times now that she's called later & I've gone in & today she called at almost 10:15 for a job starting at 11. I was out grocery shopping & then I hit up another store. I ignored her call the first time & then she called again so I picked up. I mentioned I was out & I would most likely not make it on time so no, I can't & she made some stupid joke like "oh you're in a land far far away?" like wtf? what does it matter where I am? I am saying no. I like how in the beginning when I said no, she told me well, that's why you're a sub, you can make you're own hours, you're fine & seemed understanding & now I'm getting a lot of passive aggressive bitchy comments when I'm holding my ground & not saying yes to every phone call I get.
Like why don't you go take the job on your lunch break? Gahhhhhhhhh

Yeah, fuck that, NamasteBirches. I would want to take my name off, too.

yea & then payroll basically referred to me as not an employee yesterday so there's that.
They're lucky I'm pretty much just using them as current job history to help my resume, let's just say that.

Today is shaping up to be shitty. I got a phone call from the animal curator at the children's museum earlier. He was calling to give me the heads up that their opossum passed away. This is my son's favorite animal, he is obsessed and has his own stuffed animal opossum that he brings with him whenever we go. We even "adopted" the opossum for my son's birthday. I really appreciate that they called, the people who work there always go above and beyond for my son. I'm just really dreading telling him when we gets home from school.

Thanks. I’m hoping he won’t take it too hard either. He still doesn’t completely grasp the concept of death.

DS is home sick with a fever. I had to pick him up from school yesterday. Poor buddy is just so sad and tired.

I'm cleaning and crocheting since I'm home today and tomorrow with him. I can't get the fever to go away so I'm planning ahead. I'm glad my school is so understanding.

[skategirl128]

I hope ys takes the news ok yellowwallpaper. Poor buddy!

[skategirl128]

NamasteBirches we sometimes need subs part way through the day. I had to have my school call one for me yesterday at 1 when my DSs school called. It's hard for everyone on short notice. They shouldn't been giving you a hard time through. I continue to side eye this schools of yours. They need to get it together for sure!

it's not so much the short notice of needing me, I know that comes with the territory. It's the tone that I've been getting from quite a few people that is starting to get old. I'll be thoroughly surprised if I last this entire school year, let alone the rest of '17.

Hope he feels better soon! skategirl128

Hope your little ones feel better, skategirl128, and loveswaffles!

And I'm sorry for the continued frustrations with the subbing, NamasteBirches. The lack of notice would really bother me as well.

I've actually been pretty productive at work today! H has grad school tonight, so DS and I are having dinner at my mom's house and I'm looking forward to it. She said she was going to take him to the playground today, so I'm hoping that happened and he's nice and worn out for an easy bedtime tonight.

I made R a PB and cream cheese sandwich in pita bread and I have no idea why I haven't been doing this for months. Pita bread is so much less messy!

It’s always nice when they are worn out

My son was heartbroken when I told him, crying and yelling the opossum’s name 😞 He’s doing a little better now, I’m letting him watch funny YouTube videos to cheer him up.

I drove 100+ miles for work today. I'm tired & ready for bed. It's only 7. 😴😴

Ridley has reverted back to two naps a day recently, I'm assuming growth spurt. But it's been really nice. Instead of rushing lunch and getting her down for two hours, it's a nice break midmorning for like 2 hours, then leisurely lunch and another convenient break for another hour or two in the afternoon. I never truly appreciated her frequent naps until she dropped to one and became a hurricane.

My sister is pregnant, DS is going to have a little cousin! She just announced, and while I'm super excited about our little niece or nephew, she and her H are not exactly in the best financial position. As in, she just found out last week, is already 16 weeks along, and doesn't have health insurance. I know my parents and his mom will help make sure the baby doesn't need for anything, but I'm really hoping it's the kick they need to get their acts together a little. It's also bringing up some feels about not having another baby ever myself, but I did also just give her basically all of my maternity clothes, so at least those will get some use again! And, I'm trying to stay focused on a squishy baby to love that I can return to owner when I've gotten my fill, lol.

Aw poor buddy yellowwallpaper I hope he feels better tomorrow.

Congratulations jillywilly!

H has started a home yoga series for some reason and appears to have found the most annoying yogi in all the land.
