Morning! It's supposed to be rainy here the next few days. Hoping to get outside this morning with the kids before it starts. That's all I've got!

I saw the title of today's post and thought Uh Oh, what happened with Nam's reno now? :-) I got to work early, not having to get Evie up and around makes my mornings so fast! klong11 I think you asked on Snapchat last night if we know when we are coming to TX? I just read it quick before I went to bed and didn't respond. H is supposed to call the potential employer today and schedule his interview, so I should know this week.

Does anyone want my Old Navy Super Cash- good through 10/29. Use $10 for every $25 you spend up to $40 discount. I won't use it in time. Let me know and I can send you the code to redeem online.'

Also I spent $50 at Kohl's yesterday but liked a pair of boots in store that they didn't have my size in. So I spent another $100 online after and then that gave me $20 Kohl's cash to start using today and I just spent another $80. But I did get a couple things for C for Christmas so I guess it's productive...

Work work work. Should be a busy day today. Hoping we find out something about our jobs. A lot of people found out last week but the head of our department was away at a conference. But he's back today so I'm hoping we find out something on our weekly call. I'm so frustrated with this whole process. They've really dropped the ball on communication with this and I'm flat out pissed about it.

Morning!
Now that I've trained the new girl, I have nothing to do! I should probably just enjoy it because I'm sure I'm about to have a shit ton dumped on me. I'm just planning to spend my days on here and Pinterest till I'm loaded down again.
We had such a great weekend. Layla was surprisingly well behaved so that made it even better.
Tim is gone for school this week, so we are on our own. I both love and hate the weeks that he is gone. I love the alone time, but hate the solo parenting.... and fucking bath time. I loath bath time.

Hi guise! Maybe I’m back? I moved offices - literally one door over from my previous one- but I seem to be getting a better signal. So maybe I can post in the dailies again!

mskatiep, I hate bath time too. I spend 20 mins trying to convince him to take a bath and another 20 trying to convince him to get out. Last night I was able to get him to shower with me, which was amazing and took 5 mins total. I'm hoping I can do that again.

Every time I shower with Layla it is just a shitshow of her complaining about the water spraying her head. Bath time is normally Tim's job, on the rare occasion that I have to do it I just find it so frustrating. He is so much better than me at it.

Morning!
I finally swapped out Chase's 18 month shirts for 24 month ones yesterday. It's so odd to NOT see his belly sticking out of his clothes in his daycare pics. Meanwhile Colin picked out a 4T shirt that I meant to hide away a month or two ago because it was getting too short. Except it looked fine, I guess he's still thinning out. I noticed it a lot earlier in the year but was somehow surprised that it's apparently ongoing.
I'm off tomorrow to chaperone Colin's class's first field trip. It's only a couple hours but I have so much random stuff to get done around the house, it'll be nice to tackle it without one or two kids following me around or physically attaching themselves to my legs.

Not a single thing was mentioned about the state of our jobs. He said we should know in the next 7-9 days. Gee, thanks.

There are 3 companies bidding to buy the company I work for, 2 are direct competitors (one who wants to take our designs and customer base and shut our location down, the other states they'll leave us in tact, but I don't believe it) and the other is our current CEO. Bids were due the end of September, this week all questions have to be in for our Controller to answer. It's hard to just work as if nothing is going on. I did email the recruiter I spoke to last Tuesday for an update and she said that my resume had been forwarded on but that some of the people who would interview, had been out of town, so I should hear something by Wednesday. She also said she is positive I will get a call for an interview, unless they are oblivious. Oblivious was her term, so I take that as a positive sign.

Letty was up ready to hang out at 4 am so I got up to give her a bottle. The weird thing is that the lamp in the living room was on when I got up then but it was unplugged when we got up at 7....... I guess it could have been the cats??? 😬
So anyways when I finally got back to sleep... I was dreaming about a tornado. And we were in the car and I was telling my big kids to run into this bank and I had to get Letty but the wind was so strong I couldn’t get to her. It was horrible. We ended up getting inside but my van got destroyed. I wasn’t to mad about that though, lol.

I just put in another application with a different lab rescue. I'm pretty sure my adoption anxiety is transference from the grief I am feeling about Max not doing well. He didn't eat for three days last week but is eating again. He's very clingy but seems happy. DH is in serious denial and it makes me feel worse. This happened with our dog too. I had to convince DH he was suffering and then I felt all sorts of guilt. I don't think Max is suffering per se. But I also haven't booked a pet sitter for when we go to Disney in January...

Also the next month we have to log what we are working on throughout the day for a work measurement study. I've online shopped, applied for a dog, and gone pee like 5 times. Misc Admin tasks I guess...

Like productivity is at a crawlllll. No one knows if they will have jobs soon so why should we be bending over backwards for you all? And it's not like we got to interview and compete for our jobs. They're using a 3rd party company to determine the positions that should stay and then letting the management teams decide who goes in those positions. Honestly, I have one foot out the door. But I'm anxious about severance (if I even get any offered) and how to tell my boss. And what his position will be and if I should be getting ready to hand everything back to him or if they'll be filling my position.
