Meanwhile I'm bumping to procrastinate on finishing my stupid presentation for assembly tomorrow (teacher). I hate presenting! I have to fill 30 min, and we can only do singing for so long. I really really need to get my butt in gear and finish so that I can go to bed since DD will probably wake up a bunch but ugh, I just don't want to

I add flax seed meal and brewer's yeast to random baked goods all the time. The flax is fine, just adds a nutty texture, but too much yeast makes it bitter and... yeasty. But I'm a big fan of overdoing things, so don't be like me.

@swerbtastic3351 I'm in the grievance post too. I find it mildly entertaining that people can't believe my life. And for the record I like piercings because they're easy to hide, as a nurse lots of tattoos aren't easy to hide, and I hate wearing covers. And I even got a letter from Medi-Cal today saying I'm covered for May2014 dated sept10th! While @AprilMay9 said she didn't think the system was broken, it is incredibly dysfunctional.
@RedDawnsRevenge I am so sad for you. Just sad. I had you on my mind all day and then to come on and read everything else you've added since this morning made me teary eyed. I'm so sorry you're having such a rough time. No one deserves that kind of treatment. I can't wait until everything turns around for you and the girls.
Thanks @deidremaria. For right now I'm going to try to make it work. But I'm getting myself a backup plan on secret. I hope things get better for you too
@RedDawnsRevenge
It's not my place to advise you to stay or go, as a stranger (friend?) on the internet I don't know your entire history, which includes falling in love, and the good memories too. However I can tell you if the fear of it being "too late" to find someone else or start over is making you stay- don't believe it. You are a smart, beautiful, and awesome woman and mother. There are plenty of men that would be happy to give you unconditional love and make you (and your kids) happy. Take care of yourself, stay strong, and make whatever decision is ultimately best for you and your family, whatever that may be.
I'm so mad at my pediatrician's office. I just sent him the following email:
tl;dr they keep screwing up my kid's vaccines.
Dear Dr. Xxxxxxxx,
I’m writing because my husband and I are not happy with the level of service we’ve received regarding our daughter, Josephine’s, vaccinations. So far we’ve had to make five appointments for what should have been two, and at this point her vaccination schedule is completely off.
For her two-month appointment we came in expecting a checkup and vaccines. My husband took off work to attend the appointment with us to help me with her after the shots. We were told that you were out of half of the vaccines she needed, and were asked if we would like to have the vaccines you had on hand administered or wait until the others came in. I was anxious for her to get the pertussis vaccine, so we opted for the former. We made a second appointment, which my husband couldn't make, and she got the remaining shots.
On her four-month appointment we again came in expecting a checkup and vaccinations. Again my husband took off work to be there for the shots. We were told that because she’d been delayed in getting some of her shots the previous visit, she could only get half of the vaccines administered that day. We were asked if we would like to have the shots she could have administered or wait to have them all done at the same time. I opted to wait, as after our last experience I didn't want my baby being stuck with needles on any more occasions than necessary. So we rescheduled.
Which brings us to today. I arrive expecting to get the vaccines we were supposed to get on her four-month appointment, only to be told that your office is yet again out of one of them. So I was once again stuck having to decide between getting the vaccines you had on hand or waiting. This was especially aggravating because the whole reason I postponed her getting the shots three weeks ago was so that she would get them all at the same time. I ended up getting the shots we could, since she was already overdue, but either way today was basically a wasted, unnecessary trip.
My biggest question is why am I not getting calls to let me know that these vaccines aren’t in stock or that my daughter isn’t eligible to receive all of them? I asked the nurse as much, and he said he’d put a note in my chart saying I wished to be called, but why is this not SOP? Why am I getting confirmation calls to come in for appointments, but not being told that she won’t be able to get all of her shots so that I at least have the option to reschedule before I make the trip to your office? I don’t understand why there’s not some kind of system in place to check the purpose of the appointment and make sure that all is in order before a patient comes in.
If my schedule weren't flexible this would be even worse, because then I wouldn't just be wasting my time, I’d be wasting my PTO. Five appointments for what should have been two is unacceptable. I hate to sound so harsh, and I appreciate your staff making the note that I’d like to be notified if the reason I’m coming in for a visit isn’t going to happen. But I thought you should know what’s been going on from a customer service standpoint, because if we didn’t like you so much as a doctor this would have made us look for a different office to visit.
I expect that our insurance won’t be charged for these extra visits, as they were not made necessary by our actions, just for the medicines administered.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@BiggerinRealLife that sucks! I hope they resolve it. How are they always out of vaccines, I wonder? You'd think with all the annoying anti-vaxers out there, there would be plenty of extra, haha!
@BiggerinRealLife I would be livid! That sounds so frustrating! I hope he responds to you quickly and the problem gets resolved. That just seems asinine that they are somehow always out of vaccinations or unable to administer. Do they not keep inventory and restock when they are low? Do they not know how many patients they have? I'm annoyed for you
G just slept from 8:30pm to 5am! And he ate and is back to sleep!! Such a happy dance! He has never, ever STTN.
@RedDawnsRevenge knotty girl said everything I wanted to say, but so much better than I could. So many hugs to you and your girls right now.
@BiggerinRealLife I'd be so mad too! We had to have G's 6 month checkup early because we will be seeing DH family and then moving when it's time. The nurse called like a week before to tell me that it was to soon for his vaccines and would I like to reschedule. I told her why we had done it that way, we went to the appt for the checkup and our dr told us to go to the health dept for free shots while we are traveling. I would have been so frustrated if that had happened to me and they did nothing to help me.
First PTA meeting last night. They served wine, thought this was great. Woke up this morning to realize I have agreed to organize the talent show. I suppose the fact that I have no musical talent of any kind is irrelevant?

Your PTA is genius. That was a smart move on their part. I now know my next move for team mom and getting volunteers!
@Dahlia414 - word. DS just slept super late (yay!) and then proceeded to wake up and throw a full on scream-fest on the floor in the kitchen because I had the audacity to toast his bread.
I got one for breaking his muffin the other day, trying to solve the issue of it being too hot. Can't win

This is exactly my life right now. He slept late and then had a HUGE meltdown because Cheerios kept falling over the edge of the bowl. Uuuuuuugh
A text I sent to H from my iPad came through as Ashleymylastname@iCloud.com and he wanted to know why I have a secret email address. Seriously? I don't understand anything about iCloud other than what they set you up with when you register but it's not my email address. So he's suspicious about it and I have no clue wtf is happening and I'm pissed that he suspects I'm hiding something. So now we're both pissed about things, not fully understanding what these things even are.
