I'm celebrating my Phillies this morning.

Two walk off wins, one improbable come from behind and only one series loss since the All-Star Break.

Morning. I woke up to find our front door had blown open (again). The stupid thing doesn't close all the way unless the dead bolt is locked. One of the cats got out. I closed the door and put on shoes to go find him. When I re-opened it, he came running back in. Day saved. I'm telling the landlord to fix the damn door now.

My work had a silent auction that ended last night. I won 40 hours of PTO. Yes, my company is awesome and let people bid to not be there. Now I can for sure go home for Christmas. The last time I was there was in May.

happy birthday aimers!!

Ahh so my company gives promotions quarterly and I got a promotion while I was on maternity leave.  a pretty good one.  So I went in yesterday w/the baby and asked my boss if I could take an extended leave rather then resigning which is what I had planned so that I could stay home w/ Alexa.  that way I could keep my job and (hopefully) my promotion.  Waiting to hear back and am nervous... if they say no I can't do the extended leave do I resign and risk not getting my job (that I love) back? I definitely don't want to go back right now, I want to stay with the baby.  I just don't know.. hopefully they will approve the leave.

GAH!  One of my work collegues just came to ask me about wedding invitations because he and his partner are apparently finally tying the knot.  He was asking if I knew of any discount places other than Vistaprint.  I explained that I made my own invitations so I really didn't know of any invitation places (total lie since obviously I've heard of places on TK).  He was curious about my DIY project so I showed him a sample of what a pocketfold invitation looks like and talk about all the inserts you can put in them.

He then says, "Oh like the registry information?"  I have to say it gave me a lot of satisfaction to say, "actually it's a big faux pas to do that because it basically is asking guests to give you a gift."  This man makes my work life miserable whenever I have to ask him for something so it gave me so much satisfaction to put him in his place ettiquette wise.  He informed me he is still going to put the registry info there because everyone gives gifts and they need to know where to shop.  ::::head desk::::

Awesome win Klassy!

Happy Birthday, Aimers!

Best of luck, Masey.

Do something fun with your time off, Klassy!

And yay Phils.  We have Hamels for six more years.  Where are kris or uneek to celebrate these things with me??

Good Morning!

Joy, here's a picture for you.

 

He'll be wearing that to his first Phillies game next month.

So, I'm on the hunt for a day care. My parents are going on vacation for 2 weeks and since my mom is the one watching him while I'm at work, she obviously won't be able to since they're going out of state. And the day care my niece and nephew go to is maxed out on infants and can't take him. Wonderful.

Klassy, that's awesome you won PTO!
Masey, good luck! And congrats on the promotion! And honestly? I would go back even if they don't grant you the extra time. The longer you stay home and away from your job, the harder it will be to go back.
Aimers, Happy Birthday!

AdeleDazeem

YES, KRIS!!!

Good luck Masey! That is a tough spot if they don't approve it. How long is the extended leave?

and Kris I hope you find some one to care for the little one.  You know whats funny? I always want to have you living in Canada. I have NO CLUE why and I know you live if FL but my brain has you living in Canada.

Morning! Not much going on here today. We came home yesterday to find a tree down in the front yard. The joys of owning a house. It couldn't have fallen after the party this weekend. Nooo, so H took an hour to cut it down the rest of the way. It is sitting in the front yard where it will remain for a week or so. We are so busy prepping for the party we don't have time to deal with it now. Good news... two of our friends are coming in Friday night from NE for the party. I can't wait to see them,

Masey: Yea Promotion!
Klassy: Yea PTO
Joy/Uneek/Kris: Yea Phillies!
LVB: Silly guy at work!

Bahhhhhhhh! So not okay. That's like how my SIL's reasoning for having a HM registry was because they were "unconventional".

Thanks for all the birthday wishes!

Dinner w/IL's last night was so yummy!  Tonight DH is taking me somewhere for dinner too, so that's super fun. I might go get a manicure and treat myself to lunch too

The jackass downstairs woke me up becuase he decided pounding shiat into the walls at 9:00 as a good idea. I cannot wait to get away from these people!! I don't know what the problem has been, but in the last two weeks he has been so friggin loud all day long! He's on disablility so he's home all day andhe's been blaring music and being super loud. It's really starting to irritate me. 

I have to work 1:30-9:30 today. Hopefully it goes fast. I work with a girl I really can't stand, so she better not try to boss me around in my own house like she did on Saturday. This girl is assigned to one of the other houses, and she came in Saturday trying to tell me how we were going tod do things. Uhm, NO. This is MY house, not yours, so step off. UGH!!! 

Geeze I'm so irritated this morning! 

Happy birthday, Aimers!!! 

Klassy - Awesome about "winning" PTO! That's super cool!

Morning!  Nothing new here.

Happy Birthday, Aimers!!!  I hope you enjoy dinner tonight.

@Kris:  That pic is so cute!

@Masey:  I hope the job situation turns out the way you want.  Congrats on the promotion!

@Beanie:  Did you watch Dance Mom's last night?  DH and I did.  Jill is crazy.  I was laughing when they said she now looks like Cathy (her hair), ha.  No new episode next week but in 2 weeks, oh my; that episode looks great (drama!).

It is DVRed. My SIL doesn't have cable so we get together and watch hours of it at the same time. We are do for another marathon. But so this season has been ridiculous and looks like it will only get better. When we catch up we will have to have a discussion. Do you know when this season will end, after the show wrap up and all that jazz?

Hi!!!

I haven't been here in awhile so catch me up!

We moved out of our apartment and our are currently living with our in-laws, which is kind of stressful for me.  At the end of August we will be moving to Minnesota becase..drumroll please... I got the job!!  So everything is very stressful and and exciting around here and I've mostly just been trying to figure everything out.  I'm actually currently on some anit-anxiety/anti-depressents because all of the stress and pressure from everything was really getting to me.  Hopefully after we move and everything settles down a bit I can come off of them.

What have all of you lovely ladies been doing?

Hi SOS! Congrats on the job! Good luck on the move! Where is MN are you going?
