I am thisclose to losing my shit on my sister. I've held myself back for a long time because I know it won't actually do any good, but I feel like it will make be feel better (even though I know it won't in the long run).
I also want to track down my SIL and have words with her, but again, not going to help.
Blah. I'm trying to distract myself and keep remembering all the positive things in my life, but it is hard today.
I'm so sorry, but that made me laugh. If it makes you feel any better, P took off her diaper when I wasn't looking and pooped on the kitchen floor last night.
I have to have a conference with a few team members tomorrow, and I'm really nervous. We work virtually, so it will be over the phone, which I hate, with people that are on my team but I have never met, which is weird.
I've only been a supervisor since January, and some of the ladies on the team have 20 years on me, so I feel really awkward about it. Plus, there's going to be some poor performance to discuss, which I just really don't want to do, because it's not my standard that they're not meeting, it's the State's new standards, which I think are stupid.
Tl;dr - I have to have conferences tomorrow and I don't wanna.
DD and I are going to a mommy and me day at the local ballpark today. We have never been but it looked like fun and I have to take advantage of my summer off and do fun things with her. We are meeting a friend there who has a 7 month old I haven't met yet, so that's pretty exciting too. Hope its not too hot today!
@phunkyphish - if you can get away with it... I always appreciate when a supervisor tells me, "Hey, *I* think you're doing ok, but the ___ (corporate SLA, state, whatever) has problems here, here, and here." It's good to know when the only problems are stupid on-paper problems that need to be fixed, and not that I just suck at my job.
DS got bit by my DCP's 3yo DD yesterday. DH saw the mark and thought it was maybe ringworm, but when I asked DCP about it this morning, she said, "Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you last night, but they were fighting, she bit him, and then he hit her with a toy." I didn't even know how to respond to that. I'm sure it's kind of normal for that to happen in daycare, but I'm catching on to where DS is learning this violent behavior.
I finally took a pregnancy test this am and it was negative and I was actually really sad despite the fact that we had no intentions of getting pregnant right now. So maybe we'll start trying.
And why is my period fucking with me so badly? Where is it?!?!
DS is 1DAF

When I bring my lunch I always end up eating it by 11. So I have nothing for lunchtime. And I eat two lunches. I don't think this is how that's supposed to work.

Still sounds awkward, though. Sorry
That does help, and I think I probably can get away with it. The sucky thing is that the state changed our entire process to be more efficient, and it basically means customer service blows. So, I value customer service, but we're not really supposed to anymore, which is really stupid.

Pack a snack
I ate that in the car sitting in traffic on the way to work.
It's barely 11:15 and I am ready for my lunch too. I think I am just gonna suck it up and eat it because I am so hungry I dont think I will be able to concentrate.
Going to see the Arctic Monkeys tonight. If you don't know them, you should

Jealous! On both accounts. I'm hungry too, and I love Arctic Monkeys!
I'm off today. Was suposed to go to the zoo with my sister but its way to hot & i'm way to pregnant to be dealing with hot +7 kids so i bailed. My kids decided against going with their aunt bc its seriously hot as shit today & they are smart lol So we are hanging at the house doing laundry & just being lazy in general. Everybody needs a mental health day occassionally right??
We'll go do some grocery shopping soon bc I haven't been in about 3 weeks & its getting critical.
I finally got my knitting started! I realized after not knitting for 6 months I should probably get my hands back in shape before starting the nephew's sweater... so I'm knitting an infinity scarf. For myself. No shame.
I have a job offer. It's temp through the end of the year. PT 25 hours a week. Possible for in the door to a great company with no commute ( less than a mile)
During the temp period I would be able to pay for daycare and possibly wipe out at least 50% of my debt but it wouldn't do much else to improve our living situation.
I'm rally disappointed in today's batch of newbies.
Unable to even.

After listening to my DD cry about missing her school friends again (it has been a week, but she's 3...) I got a play date scheduled for Friday morning. So far, 4 classmates are meeting us there. She will be in heaven. I'm unreasonably excited about this, for her.
Also, I think I hurt DH's feeling a little unintentionally this morning. We took his car in for an oil change, and (predictably) they told him it is falling apart and needed almost $1700 worth of work. We have not noticed ANYTHING off..it was just due for a change. He agreed to it, without talking to me, and we really can't afford it right now, but he kept saying it had to be done. After a few minutes of me questioning him about it, he agreed that I should call my dad (who works on cars, and has for decades) and ask him what he thought. He thought it was a scam, and called a friend who also is in the business, and asked him about what they said needed to be fixed/replaced. The friend laughed at what the shop recommended and agreed that it was a rip off, and even if some work needed to be done, what they had listed wouldn't cost them more than $200 in their shop.
Relief, right? I think DH is a little butthurt that I checked on this after he agreed to it. He's okay now, but he was really irritated that I was balking this morning. It just seemed like a ridiculously high price to pay for a car that is running perfectly and isn't very old. I don't know anything about cars, but Dad has always told me to get a second opinion when something expensive is recommended. It seems like a no-brainer. I'm shocked that DH gave them the go ahead. Thankfully, he called and canceled it after I talk to my dad, but still. Yikes.
@Whenigrowup neither of us would drop $1700 without making the decision together, so I don't see this as out of line at all...
Yeah, that was really unlike him. I know he was feeling guilty that he hadn't gotten it in for an oil change/maintenance on time, so I think he expected that some work would need to be done, but holy crap, that's a lot of $$.
He is normally much better with money than I am. I blame temporary insanity from moving and all that we are doing right now.
I got the roasted turkey and avocado blt (hold the mayo) from Panera for lunch. Why wasn't the bread toasted? Was I wrong to assume this? @peanutbutterfox (I'm sure I screwed up that tag) give me your thoughts as the Panera expert of Parenting.
Idk. I've never asked about toasting, but none of the sandwiches come that way standard. Also LMAO that you tagged me to weigh in .
I have to tell the same guy how to upload his syllabus all of the time. It is the same few clicks. He is frustrated every time. He always misses the same step every time. I have walked him through this probably 30 times in the last 18 months. It is kind of ridiculous.
My sand which comes toasted at panera. I think it's actually a panini but I'm pretty sure they can toast anything.

grilled =/= toasted
But they probably can toast anything, if you ask.
Paninis are grilled? I'm obviously a newb to panera

My mom brought me some new shorts. Lol. @pobrecita
These are soooo popular here with the uhhh county crowd (rednecks). My friends in Idaho also apparently believe everything must be bejeweled, ed hardy, or faux tattooed if they're going to wear it. They all also have hair like Chelsea from teen mom. Their LCOL is tempting but GDI I could not deal with their fashions
