  • @joelies He is precious!  such a sweetie.
  • @shanbp I bet your h is yelling at the TV like mine is .

    @yez9 that's awful.
  • @MotherEFFingKatie‌ have you tried Premsyn? It works best for cramps as far as OTC options. Not sure if there are any ingredients that would be a problem for you. In CA they carry it at Walgreen's and CVS.
  • I started the day with my mom calling me hysterical because our family dog (boxer) was up all night having seizures. She called the emergency number for our vet and we took her in. She's had a stroke and because of that her face is droopy and it seems like she's list use of her tongue so she's struggling to eat and drink. Weight if just falling off of her..

    She's 12. Which is great for a boxer! My vet was gently trying to prepare my mom that if her blood work comes back bad and she doesn't start eating and drinking (we're softening her food and offering small portions at a time) then putting her down may be the nicest thing we can do for her. But brandy (the dog) was given to her by my grandma for taking care of my aunt when she was dying. My mom always wanted a boxer! So the dog means a lot to her! And we're approaching the anniversary of my aunts death so mom is just devastated. Hopefully the blood work comes back good and we can get weight back on her!

    Wow that was long.. Sorry.

    After all that I took the announcement pictures for my brother and his wife's pregnancy! I'll share one in group later. I'm so excited to be an aunt!!!!!

    Now I'm just relaxing on the couch while peach naps on me.

    I have a Wawa pin with my name and manager on it because one time when I was drunk in Wawa, they let me go in the back and touch stuff. So I made a pin.

    It's a great company to work for. I took classes with a number of employees. Wawa paid for their MBAs.
    It really is wonderful. I would have stayed there but we moved for dhs job.
  • I'm off and I get paid for 4 hours! I'm gonna miss the perks of working for a small family bank..

    Watching the news about the sperm whales in Dana Point and all this talk of Irvine pumkins has me missing home! I am stuck living in the midwest because of DH & SD but I wish I was in Cali! I wish my son could appreciate the ocean like I do. DH doesn't like water he can't see the bottom of so he would prefer we never take a beach vacation.
    Ok maybe this is the beer making me emotional.

    SFFC: born and raised in SoCal and I don't like the beach. If I never saw it again, that would be perfectly fine.
  • @cagoldi‌ I worked for an insurance company before becoming SAHM. They were so stingy with holidays, PTO, and sick time. I was 2 minutes late once..literally 2 minutes. You would have thought the world was ending.
  • @flamingosrpink‌ Thankfully they aren't on top of me like that. I did just lose my manager though, so who knows what the new hire will bring us.

    We actually do get pretty generous PTO grants so I probably shouldn't complain. I have 23 days a year. No sick time though, everything just comes out of your accrued PTO.
  • @cagoldi‌ I hope you get a great new manager! :)

    @LJGS1010‌ Yup, we're starting to hit the same stage. Not easily redirected any longer. Have you given baby sign language a shot? I've found it helps with a lot of the whining because they can communicate before they can talk. Not do much the tired stuff, though. Whoever figures out how to get a tired kid not to whine should win a Nobel peace prize.

    We haven't, but that's a good idea.

    What's the sign for "come on, mom, I really want to play on the fireplace and you're soooooo mean to redirect me?"
    We need that one but doggy door instead of fireplace..
