I have a case of the Mondays

Pokedot

It was just DS and I pretty much all weekend. He was a gem. I really wish my weekend was longer with him. I actually really miss him already today and it's been an hour.

My brother got engaged this weekend. He called yesterday to tell us the news. While I'm happy for him and his family (they have a daughter and she has a son) it's not who I would have picked to be my SIL. I'll get over it and I truly am happy for him. I just don't quite get her. She's young, 22 and knows everything about everything yet she doesn't. I don't see her as a  person to say "hey I was wrong." I gets my goat.

My colleague announced today he and his wife are going on WW. His wife is like 5'9" and so skinny. She just gave birth 6 weeks ago and BF. He said she gets like 40 some points but thinks thats too many so she's giving herself 30. Ummm, how about you concentrate on your child and forget about WW for a while. She doesn't need it. Maybe I'm annoyed because I'm a person who really does need WW and here's someone who truly doesn't.

I'm cranky. I need to workout and get some stress off my back.

I'm having job frustration this morning. I really love what I do, but sometimes it feels like I care about what happens to the clients more than they do.

I have two clients, a couple, that will lose their temporary housing 10/1. I've been calling them since Friday to go to Social Services today to help extend it. I finally track them down at 9:30 after 3 days and they say, oh, we're still sleeping, we will call you back. This is the only day I can take them, so they better get up.

Then I got a subpoena to appear in court on Wed. for a client at my old job who hasn't addressed his warrants. This guy took off in April and I haven't seen or heard from him. Now I have to take time off my new job to drive an hour to another county to deal with his problems and he's probably not even going to show.

On the bright side, Ethan's party was a huge hit yesterday. He was so excited about the trains.

I need to start working out more too, it really does help with the stress.

We had Aedan's birthday party this weekend.  I think everyone had fun and we had more than enough food.  However, it was the most disorganized I've ever been for a party, so it really stressed me out.  We hosted it in the community room at our apartment complex.  Since it was close to home, but not actually in our house, I didn't think through every detail very well.  So we had to run back to grab a few things, which was really annoying.  I can't wait until our house is built and I can host there.

And I'm a little frustrated with our daycare and nervous about Aedan's new room.  He was there for a few hours Friday afternoon to start transitioning and despite all our communication with the teachers on Aedan's dairy allergy, including filling out a menu of what he can and can't eat, they gave him frozen yogurt for snack.  Apparently his teacher didn't think that it applied.  Now he's itching, has a really bad diaper rash and is going to be cranky for awhile until it's out of his system.  I'm really doubting the common sense of one of his new teachers.

DD is impossible to get dressed.  I basically had her in a headlock this morning trying to get her shirt on.  It's horrible and no way to start the day/week.  I now feel terrible even though she was okay and snuggling me 20 minutes later.  I hate that I'm so impatient and not good with her defiance.  I HATE getting her dressed and can't wait for this phase to be over!

OMG, that would frustrate me to no end!

Glad Ethan's party was fun though! It all worked out schedule-wise, I take it?

I would definitely impress upon the center director and every single teacher that this cannot happen again. It's their responsibility to pay attention to those sorts of things. Hope he's feeling better soon!

Someone we know recenlty had a big health scare. He fainted at work. They ended up finding a tumor on his brain and was sent to a major hospital downstate. They operated and found that part of it was stage 4 brain cancer. He has a great outcome despite the circumstances. He's in his early 30's with a 2 year old and a newborn.

Our community is getting together and sending meals from the "Take Them A Meal" website. I went on to see what day I could take. I knew he had a gluten allergy but the restrictions they have on there are a bit much I think. His diet contains a lot of vegetables, spinach salads and very little meat or sugar. I know the meat or sugar have nothing to do with his restrictions from gluten. Am I weird for thinking it's a bit much?

B is like this a lot too. I've tried to distract him or having him "help" pick out his clothes. It's a 50/50 shot for me.

I was at the doctor this morning for an annual physical then blood work to fulfill a requirement of our insurance through DH's job. I seriously want to scream sometimes at the complete imbeciles in healthcare. Is it too much to ask for doctors and office staff to read my chart, generally be pleasant and not waste my time by asking questions just bc they're on the list if they can already figure out the answer?

And the lady at the lab can kiss my fat ass bc she was SO grouchy about the fact that I was drinking coffee with half-and-half, thus negating the fasting part of the blood work. She actually told me she wouldn't draw the blood, to which I said that I had just come from the doctor, who didn't care one way or the other, so she was doing it. Happy freakin' Monday morning. I'm so finding a new physician and lab.

Meh, maybe he restricts those items for another health reason, or just out of preference. It doesn't really bother me since I'd want to make sure whatever I was cooking was going to be eaten.

And after I reread my post it came off very bitchy which wasn't the intent. I'm blaming my mood. Ugh! I guess I was just taken back by it. I obviously want them to eat what I bringing so I'll be researching some more options.

I'm exhausted.  Like usual.  My life is literally in shambles and I don't know what to do.  I used to always be on my A game at work, but not I cannot say that anymore and it is driving me crazy.  I feel like picking up so much of the slack at home is making me slack at work.  I don't know what to do and I don't know where to go anymore.

This is how teeth brushing is for us.  She still makes it very difficult to brush her teeth, despite this being the routine for a really long time!

We're getting pictures taken of our house today, which required a lot of shoving stuff in closets.  My husband's home today for that, so he's doing the last minute cleaning.  I just called him and he gave me attitude.  He does not handle stress well and it's annoying me.  Everything is a catastrophe to him.  Gah!

As a result of the pictures being taken and getting our carpets cleaned, our dog is at a dog daycare for the first time.  I cried when I left him.  He is an anxious dog, so I'm a bit worried about him.  Luckily they have cameras, so I can check in on him. 

On a positive note, we went to the apple orchard this weekend and had a great time.

A few friends texted me last night about colbys party. I guess H was way more of an ass than I realized, and his mom was a superbitch also. Ugh. I'm trying to focus on the fact that the kids had a great time, but I need to figure out if it's worth the confrontation so that my friends and family feel comfortable at joint events again, or if that bridge has already been burned.

It ended up just being really rushed. Then the coordinator was supposed to clean while we were on the train ride but I guess he didn't and the lady from the party after ours ended up doing it and stacking our stuff in the corner, which was awkward and irritating. I had to go in while their party was going in to get our stuff.

I spoke with the director at the boys school this morning. She is being so helpful and supportive and we are going to make a gradual transition for the boys. I also have to make some phone calls about trying to find a dog walker to deal with the dogs once I start work.

Yes, we did.  I love DH, he went straight to the director and the person who manages all the food and demanded to see the ingredient label.  The first two ingredients were milk and cream.  He made it very clear how much of a problem it was.  

They all felt bad, and it was during a grandparents celebration, so it was probably a bit chaotic, but I can't even imagine if he had an allergy that caused him to stop breathing.  They're lucky it will only be a rash.  

I talked to his other teacher about it this morning (she wasn't there on Friday), and will continue to remind them everyday.  Ugh.  Just another reason I hope he grows out of it soon!

You are not responsible for how he acts, and I hope friends and family realize that. I would impress upon your guests how much you (and the boys) appreciated them coming, and how much fun you had. It's on your H if he chooses to make waves.

We had to buy a new washing machine last night. Whomp whomp. Appliances fall low on the list of things I want to spend money on. And, it won't arrive until Wednesday. The laundry is piling up. I usually throw in a load every day.

That sucks!  Our washing machine hasn't worked in two weeks.  I asked DH if he had called to get a repair man out and he didn't answer.  So that's a no.  I am wearing the very bottom of the barrel of work clothes that I have today.  It looks like it is the laundry mat for Luci and I tonight.  

DH was indignant when I requested he take a load and wash it on Saturday while I was sick.  He was like, "I washed your work clothes on Tuesday, how can you be out?"  Um because I have 6 maybe 7 outfits that I rotate and I worked all last week?

This sounds like MH's job. For about 3 weeks straight, he's had to leave the house at 6:30 am to go pick up a girl on his caseload from her group home to bring her to high school ( and then bring her home again at the end of the day). She could take public transportation, but refuses, so MH has to do it. He calls her when he's on his way to make sure she's up & will be ready on time. Yet, there's been like 4 times now already that he gets to the group home & she has an excuse as to why she's not going. Meanwhile MH is putting a burden on our own family with having to leave 2 hours early every morning, but this girl would never be able to realize that b/c she doesn't even care about her own self. Just one of many examples!

That has to be hard on both of your families. How can you help yourself if those that need it don't want it? Such a hard thing to do.

I have to say, if someone has a really restricted diet a) maybe "take them a meal" isn't the best way to help and they should decline having that done for them or b) if it's manageable, offer suggestions of what works for them instead of a list of "can'ts."  It can be hard for people to know what's going to be edible for someone on a restricted diet.  

There's also a difference, IMO,  between "we can't eat XYZ" and "we prefer ABC."  The can'ts are no-gos and the preferences are optional (but helpful if you want to make something they'll like).  But there is something that rubs me the wrong way about someone accepting others doing something nice for them but then giving a laundry list of instructions that make doing that nice thing harder than those offering expected it to be.

I really wish I could kick students out of my office for coming to tutoring sessions high.  I mean, it's not even a moral statement like "drugs are wrong."  It's "You're high, and explaining this stuff to you is giant effing waste of my time.  Because you aren't comprehending or retaining what I'm saying.  Because YOU'RE HIGH."

I am just not feeling this day.  I have way too much to do today, but no motivation!

Plus today is the day DS is over at my MIL's (he hasn't been there is over a month due to dr. appt, my mom being in town, holidays etc).  and i am really overly cranky about the fact that I dont get the pictures today.  As his school sporadically sends pictures of  him doing activities thought out the day. its always something to look forward to as  you never quite know when one will pop up in your email.

I just hope he doesn't come home hungry and cranky like the past few times he was there.

I have to lead a series of meetings this week with people throughout our organization who have been hand-picked as good people to represent the company when we have media opportunities. I have lost track of the number who have canceled on me after accepting my initial meeting request or have flat-out told me "No, thanks. I'm not really interested." I have a bad feeling that this is going to be a waste of time and I'm going to end up right back where I started with like 3 people who actually engage the media.

It's supposed to be 80 outside today.  So naturally I wore a lighter shirt and didn't bring a sweater with me.  And it's freezing in my office.  I will never learn...

I've decided to keep up my tradition of flashing the UPS guy. Answered the door with my nursing tank top unhooked, at least my bra was still hooked. But my massive boob was still bursting out. I am clearly not getting enough sleep. He hasn't changed his route in the last few years so I'm assuming he likes what he sees.

My dad (the most unhandy person on the planet) has decided he is going to create a doggie door and outdoor area for my dogs so I don't have to hire a dog walker. He is using a window in the basement and the area that is currently our garden. This is going to be interesting.

My "best friend" didn't come to colbys party yesterday. She didn't call, didn't text, just didn't come. According to FB she spent the day car shopping. Again. Her and her husband have gone through 11 cars in 4 year because they either don't pay for them and they get repo'ed or they buy impractical cars, " find something wrong" and get rid of them. Neither of them work, so it's not like this was something that could only get done yesterday. Then she posted this happy birthday message to Colby on my FB page acting like we are BFF's and she spends all this time with him. I haven't seen her in almost 6 months. I'm over it.

Holy crap Bobkat! I'm glad everyone is ok and I hope you're getting some much needed R & R! That is one crazy night! I'm so sorry!

Oh my gosh @Bobkat22!!  I'm glad everyone is OK.  That sounds like an insanely exhausting day.  I hope you caught up on some sleep yesterday.

Edited:  Apparently I can't spell today!

My FIL moves back from Florida today.  Sigh.

He flew the woman he's dating down to drive home with him and help him finish packing.

She left him in Illinois this morning.  Yup, they went to a bar last night, had a huge fight so FIL got his own hotel room, and when he got up this morning, she was gone.  With his truck.  I'm still laughing about it.  

I sure hope that this time their "breakup" sticks.

@BobKat22‌ how awful! I'm glad your mom & her husband are ok & you get some rest soon!

@Holly_1007‌ sorry your BFF didn't come to the party. My "BFF" allegedly got the date mixed up & didn't come to DD's party either. And then she just shipped a gift to us instead of agreeing to figure out a time for us to get together at a later date.
