I'm unreasonably pissed at my PM right now. I was supposed to go to a BUMPIE GTG tomorrow but she scheduled a 4 hour meeting on Saturday. Who does that? I told her I was busy and couldn't attend and she called and told me that I needed to change my plans. I seriously cried on the phone when she told me that.
Next week Im starting project: ditch the bottle. And my frozen stash is coming to an end so I may start by losing a bottle and replacing it with a cup of WCM.

Your Prime Minister? Project Manager? Pinata Manager?
Do you normally work on Saturdays? That blows!
Project manager. I've never worked on the weekends. I work a standard 8-5 corporate job. We are flying out to the client site next week and shit is hitting the fan. The PM and the technical lead are literally arguing on the phone right now about how we are presenting to them.
And she decided we need more meetings (because 5 hours a day isn't enough) before our meeting next week to figure this out.
I didn't get the job. Im devastated. Like full on bawling devestated. My current job is making me physically sick and im stuck there. Literally sick, I've had what can only be described as a stress cold , for a month and have developed TMJ from this place.
Im gonna go cry some more, A has been super helpful this morning. Not.
To be clear, I did not really clutch my pearls about giving benadryl for flying, I just love a Miss J gif.
I saw Miss J and couldn't resist! @huntjul set that one up for me! I never heard of giving a baby Benadryl and wouldn't even know how to if needed.

I didn't know you could give it, either, but Cam had a crazy runny nose last week and I took him in to get his ears checked because he seemed to be really uncomfortable when trying to sleep. The dr said it was allergic rhinitis and told me I could give 1.25 ml of children's benadryl to help dry up his runny nose. It helped his nose a ton, but didn't really seem to make him sleepy at all. I gave him some one morning and he only took a 45 min nap, so it wasn't some miracle sleep drug. But it also looks like the 'regular' dose for a child of 20 lbs is 4 ml, so maybe more would make them sleepier? IDK.
i lost one of Hazel's shoes at Target this morning and I stopped at customer service before i left to ask if someone turned it in, and I've called twice. #pyschooo
This reminds me that my fffc is that my kid is going to barefoot hippie for life. She wore socks when it was cold but we stopped bothering once the weather got nice. My mom bought her a cute pair of sandals a couple months ago. I put them on her once and she kept pulling them off, so I said fuck it and didn't bother to try again.
I've got some kind of cold or something. Of course DH was sick during his 4 day weekend and now Im gonna be sick on the days that he will be gone from 8am until 1:30am at night 2 days in a row! Anyways, I was pouring our animals water into their dishes over the baby gate. I spilled everywhere, so I had to take the gate down and clean it up. I am so out of it. It took me at least 20 damn minutes to put up a stupid retention baby gate!
I am seriously considering calling MIL to the rescue!

Our kids can be barefoot hippies together.

Second, yes @breadandbutter07 you can buy a house without having credit. A 0 credit score is better than a shitty one. When you have a 0 for a score you generally need a better down payment. In the end it's all up to how well you manage your money, but don't feel like you "need" a credit card
I won't open any of the birthday party threads because I just DGAF. Don't get me wrong, I love (most of) you all, I just don't really get into the whole huge 1st birthday bash thing. For me, every milestone is a little bittersweet because seeing Cami do all these new things is a reminder of what we will never see Virginia do. I will make sure to make birthdays as special as I can for C in the future when she's more aware of what's going on. But this first birthday is a hard one for me.
Call me a party pooper if you want. Zero fucks will be given.
@rsigler, I hope I didn't offend you the other day when I teased and called you a "party pooper." I didn't know you were going through something so I'm 1) really sorry if I did and 2) sorry you are having a hard time.

YES, we started a Mother's Day Out twice a week and they want me to send him in closed toed shoes.... I was like oh crap I have to buy shoes?! He is not a fan of them and looks like a cat with scotch tape on its paws.

Greta thinks shoes are foot prisons and she glares at me while she yanks them off and throws them. I'm glad she will have barefoot hippie baby frandz.
We had an "employee appreciation bbq" at work today. I went to the early slot and brought A. She was fawned over a lot. Even by an ex of mine who is a mechanic with the company. He came up, said hi and started baby talking to my kid.
I wanted smack him and tell him he almost had one himself. He broke up with me when I was fresh out of the hospital, you know, trying not to die from my failing kidney. (I was in an out of the hospital a lot in fall of 07/spring 08.)
If my body hadn't been shutting down, I would have a 6 yr old right now. I had a faint line pos two days before the kidney biopsy that determined I was losing my transplanted kidney. Thats the same day I was told I had a slightly elevated hcg in my blood, but very slight. And the day I believe I miscarried.
So I have a lot of feels today, depression, regret, anger, and a deep saddness.
Oh and I just found out that once again I am supposed to do the work of four people, by myself today. Super-fucking-fantastic.
@bionicb I'm sorry you didn't get the job. I can tell you wanted it badly. I too know what it's like to work somewhere terrible. I did too at one point. The reason you didn't get the job may not be as clear to you right now, but one day, hopefully soon, another opportunity is going to come along and be better than the one you didn't get. Everything in life happens for a reason. I know that it's hard to keep positive sometimes, but I promise, you are exactly where you are supposed to be. I hope tomorrow is a better day for you and that something better comes along very soon.
Creepy internet hugs @bionicb I had a miscarriage when I was 17yrs old. Most people don't know about it. The ones that do never really helped me cope with it. So much so that a psychologist DX me with PTSD from not dealing with the miscarriage when it happened. Unfortunately I do that with all traumatic events. I'm a trooper while it happens and then it hits me like a ton of bricks later on!
Thank you guys. Its been a rough day. Im just hoping and praying at this point that the "something better is coming" is truly coming,and soon.
@Jalee85 its really hard, I've been treating/repressing it has a non-occurrence for so long that actually seeing him has opened a ton of crap back up for me.
Hang in there ladies, I really dont know what I would do without you today.
Re: FFFC
