I think I might be getting a severance letter. This is based on the fact that my boss had a closed door call (like 45 minutes long) with his boss this morning. He never shuts his door. Not even when him and his wife argue. And I just found "Managers tips for delivering severance letter" on the printer. Then HR called while he was out and left a message for him to call them about Monday.
This is going to eat at me all weekend.

I'm sorry you're having a rough afternoon, @unicorn. If Josie's having a day like that, I know something's up with her. It's not necessarily bad behavior, but inability to explain or express something. Sorry if this feels like overstepping, but could he be going through a rough patch because of the move and the new baby? (I'm assuming your boys know, but I could be wrong.)

So is everyone going to start binging the new season of Stranger Things tonight? Yes! We are ordering takeout once the kids go to sleep and settling in for at least two episodes. ETA: I started Twin Peaks too so it feels like just solid creepiness all around.

Lol, don't ever work for the government. Webinars, slide shows, briefings for all the things. OMG yes! The government LOVES webinars! Ugh, truth! This is what my week consists of next week. Catching up on all my “required learning”. Not looking forward to it! Thank goodness for dual monitors!

But you know, David Lynch.

We "booed" a couple of our neighbors last night and C was so excited. He loved sneaking and leaving it without them noticing. I'm sure he'll tell them it was him as soon as we see them though! I’ve just heard about people doing this, sounds fun! We don’t have close neighbors living in such a rural area. But a FB friend from the city posted this...the kids get “booed” and the adults get “boozed”. We totally threw some beers in for the parents!

cagoldi, The original and I know absolutely nothing about any of it. It's got this odd mixture of kitsch and creep that makes me want to watch more. I figured you and inthekitty would be the two fans on the board. I'm only five or six episodes in, and I have such a crush on Harry S Truman.

I'm so sorry peachsmama. Maybe you can talk with your boss about what you found in the printer and he might unofficially tell you what's going on.

peachsmama that stinks. Is this due to the merger thing going on? Spend the weekend planning the next step instead of anticipating Monday's talk. Also not cool that he left it on the printer to be found. You print that out and wait by the printer for it to come out

I was terrified to tell my boss so now I won't have to. But after a conversation with my dad this week, I was going to leave at the 1st of the year. If I want the severance I have to stay until the merger closes. Thats March 1st, right now anyway. That could change. But I want that severance. It's 2 weeks for every year worked. So 8 weeks + 6 months prorated paid.

So glad it went well mskatiep. I love that girl's sass. She's adorable. tgrimes I hope everything goes as well as it can this weekend. Good luck to your dad (and you for putting up with your mom). xolastunicornxo don't beat yourself up. Ry having one meltdown (no matter how major) isn't indicative of what type of kid he is or what type of mom you are. Go to the Fun Run. Cheer L on and make Ry sit and watch and just be a cheerleader and not a participant.

I'm so sorry peachsmama . Maybe you can talk with your boss about what you found in the printer and he might unofficially tell you what's going on. Welllll.. I copied it (to read later) and left it on my desk and he saw it. So I think he knows I know but he won't say anything.

xolastunicornxo you’re not a bad mom, kids have off days, hell we all have off days. I’d try to talk to him about how he was feeling and what ways are better ways to deal with feeling like this. I would cancel everything. My parents always had the rule that a punishment shouldn’t affect someone else too and I’m sure L would love having his brother there. Early bedtime or no screen time seems like a fair punishment.

Re: undereye concealers. I have had dark circles since I was a kid (lucky me). I'm too lazy to do any sort of regular routine though. About a year ago I read about a recommendation for a concealer and added it to my Amazon Wish List. Every now and then I scroll all the way to the end of my Wish List and go wide eyed for a minute when I see a vibrator on my list before I realize it's the concealer. Happens every damn time.

slenle I forgot to reply a couple days ago but you were asking about dark circles, IIRC? I like Pacifica's concealer for my undereye area, then I dab a little NYX dark circle concealer corrector in the corner if I'm especially dark that day. I just tried Tarte's shape tape yesterday and the coverage is very good. I can see why it's a cult favorite but my skin is a little older and I think it's a little too heavy for more mature skin. So while I like it, I'll still probably stick with Pacifica for the most part. For lightening up the circles instead of covering them, I've found Vitamin C serums and eye creams to help with that. I was a bit disappointed w shape tape for the exact reason you described. Very heavy. I am still using it, but the teeniest tiniest amount. I'm glad to hear this as I was just about to buy it this weekend before the 20% off ends. I thought I liked the it! cosmetics concealer, but the more I use it, the more I dislike it.

Last night M said she wanted me to be Captain Hook and MH to be Tick-Tock Croc for Halloween and he can eat my underwear off. (There's a scene of the croc tearing away Captain Hook's pants and revealing his underwear in the movie.) I wouldn't want to disappoint her but I'll wait until she's asleep before MH and I do so.
