One more day between us and the long weekend.

mrsconn23 · May 2014

DH's interview went fantastic yesterday. They're also looking to move quickly because they're behind the 8 ball on hiring management staff, getting them trained, and ready to hire front line staff. (warehouse is under construction) They said they'd probably call with an offer by the end of THIS week. Where's my paper bag? too.much.stuff/change

DH's car has hail damage. Boo. He had video from when he was stopped in traffic and the hail was just pounding down on his car. It's so loud.

My mom had her first sale close yesterday. She's the real deal now.

I'm so happy that she seems to have found the right thing for her. She was so unhappy for so long with what she was doing. When she talks about work now, she's so excited and bubbly.

Sounds like EXCELLENT stuff!

I half considered going to the zoo today, but even Betty White, Jack Hanna, and a new exhibit don't outweigh the annoyance factor. We're braving the mall for returns and shopping instead.

We have very little planned this weekend. Tee ball Saturday and a parade Monday. MIL and sFIL are coming to the game Saturday. I offered to have them over for dinner after but she won't commit.

mrsconn23 · May 2014

DH and I are going to go out tomorrow night to get stuff for working on the house and then we're going to pack in as many repairs and such as possible. We may even go rent another storage unit because we don't have enough room in ours for the rest of our stuff, especially furniture.

My mom has an open house near us on Sunday. So my mom going to bring my dad over, do her open house, and then come over for dinner. DH has to work Sunday and Monday. I may take the kids to the pool on Monday because I think it's supposed to be 85.

I may very well be addicted to this buy/sell page. I love getting rid of crap and making a few bucks. I'm constantly checking and may have even set up a zoo date for next week.

Today's a favorite coworker's last day, so I'm kinda bummed about that. We also got word that one of the nurses we extended an offer to declined the offer, so we're still losing three floor nurses and gaining one. We do have a new clinic manager starting though, so I hope things will improve with that.

Last night, husband said that he wishes we could just have spawn in private so no one would bother us, as we're both getting grief nonstop about having babbies. I can't even be tired or sick anymore without people going 'ooooh, I bet you're pregnant!' Man, shut the fuck up, I can't even. Leave me alone.

VarunaTT · May 2014

I put salt in my coffee this morning.

I have nothing to do at work. I pissed off Diva b/c I refused to respond to a bait to start a fight, so he's not giving me anymore. I'm going to ask for tomorrow off. Hopefully things start to pick up for June, b/c if it doesn't I'll go mad. I went around to all of my bosses and told them to get out there and find some new clients.

We're going to clean out the garage. And good friend is in town I'm supposed to hang out with. And we're going to mini-golf. Having a grill out with the neighbor and her son. That's really about it.

HisGirlFriday13 · May 2014

We're having a half-day and casual Friday tomorrow, which is awesome, then the office is closed Monday.

DH's grandmother wants him to take her to the cemetery this weekend to put fake flowers on her late husband's grave, but he doesn't want to, and she's playing up the guilt card.

Saturday we're going to a book sale (not that we need more books, but whatever).

Sunday is church and hanging out. He's off, which is nice.

Monday I have big plans to finish a baby blanket for a friend's baby.

dharmabunny · May 2014

Today is WFH day, which usually means programming reports and such All. Day. Long. I also will be working with a summer intern and need to firm up a project plan or two. If she is as sharp/experienced as her resume is (and given her resume, she's going to have an interesting backstory going on). I'm going to be a happy little camper

Yeah, need the weekend! I have my new desk pretty much assembled and functioning niiiice and the room half taped off. Just need to get everything painted. I'll also season our new smoker/grill and see what sort of dead animal we can roast upon it over the weekend. And if I got a Sunday off from church to paint and watch the Indy 500, I'd be happy^2 camper.

it doesn't get any better - when you do get pregnant, you'll constantly get unwanted advice on raising the kid and questions about the sex (... and heaven forbid you don't want to know, then they'll harass you about not finding out and threaten to crash your US appointments - or maybe that was just my oSIL.) - don't forget you'll also have complete strangers trying to touch your stomach.

after you have the kid, you'll continue to get unwanted advice about raising the kid, and questions on when you're having your next one.

*Barbie* · May 2014

i took a vacation day tomorrow and am taking my parents out for a joint mothers'/fathers' day gift. We're likely going to go to the movies and lunch, although plans may change if people can't agree on a movie. they are leaving Sunday, and we're having a pool party/wine/beer tasting on Monday, so I have a feeling we'll be doing a ton of yard work on Sunday afternoon.

0Face · May 2014

I have no idea what the weekend holds.

H works 4pm-8am tomorrow morning, and has Friday "off" so we'll probably just hang quiet tomorrow night.

Tonight? Yeah, I thought I had a hair appointment, but apparently it was on Tuesday and I missed it. Oops! *d'oh* So I'll be working out, and then eating leftover chicken chili. I probably can find a few things to do around the house too.

This weekend will be hit or miss, H works Saturday night, and Sunday is his birthday celebration with my family. Monday he works again, so I'll be singling it up a lot. I don't mind, I like the alone time.

I have a fear of humans, so the thought of strangers touching me is physically repulsive.

And we're already planning to not find out sex because we don't want gendered toys and also it'll really bother his extended family, heh.

We have a visitation tomorrow night for the father of one of DH's close friends. He found out 3 months ago he had cancer. He responded well to the treatment for a while but things went downhill very fast and on Monday the doctors broke the news that he probably had only 2 weeks to live. He passed last night.

We have a long weekend of baseball ahead of us - minimum of 6 games Friday through Monday. I am really glad we decided to let him play on a second team this year. It's awesome to watch him. He absolutely loves the game and it shows. He hit his 5th home run of the season last night (2nd one this week).

I'd like to get my Mother's Day pedicure sometime this weekend. It may have to wait until Tuesday.

The weather is supposed to be great, so hopefully we can find some time to grill and chill on the deck.

That's all I read of this.

The only people that touched my belly was DH and my mom.

I've never really had anyone give me parenting advice either.

jojobrn · May 2014

The weekend should be busy fun. I am of today, so working on a blog post and CEU's, wheeeeeeeeee.

I work tomorrow, but DH is taking the day off and going to get some stuff done around the house. Mostly work on building a cover for the cat litter boxes, especially the one in the family room. We are calling it the kitty shitty condo, credit for that to my BFF.

Saturday we have a picnic/potluck bday gathering for a friend. Also it is our wedding anniversary, 6 years! But if anyone else mentions the 7 year itch coming I may punch them.

Sunday we plan on ditching the kids at my parents house and going out to a ceramic painting place. We went there on mother's days, but with DD and niece, we couldn't really sit and paint for too long, so we are doing that with wine. They let you BYOB, so BIL who doesn't drink will drive us there, laugh at us drinking wine and painting, then after some dinner, drive our sorry butts home.

Monday we are likely going to grill some meat and hang out at home. DH figures he will be able to finish work on the kitty shitty condo.

jojobrn · May 2014

Sorry Juche, I will have to confirm the belly touching/.parenting advising/when is the next baby coming crap too. The worst about belly touching was my cousin. I didn't have the heart to tell her to stop despite being so annoyed, because we got pregnant within a few months of each other and she had a miscarriage. But I was still pregnant woman annoyed.

MIL is pretty sure that my extended breastfeeding is poisoning DD.

And we will start trying for #2 later this year. I am getting the comments already about not waiting too long! Can't wait forever! Better get on that! *junkpunch*

mrsconn23 · May 2014

Ugh at your MIL. It's not like M is FIVE. Is she even 18 mos yet? Extended BFing to me is nursing a kid when they're, like, 3 or older.

I get people who think we're crazy for not having another kid to 'give DefConn a friend'. I still have a teenager I have to clothe and feed. And IDK...I want to travel and buy a new house and keep working. Not have to worry about every last dime. So unless someone is going to step up and pay the expenses for my third kid, STFU TYVM.

jojobrn · May 2014

She is 16 months, WHO recs bf'ing at least until age 2. My mom bf us all for extended time, so I don't know anything different, you know? And I am a midwife for craps sake. I am sorta crunchy!

But yeah, when they were out for DD's 1st bday, she asked me when i would stop, because the milk won't be nutritionally good or something like that. She also called me pig headed for not letting her wash dishes the night before the party. 1. I always have to rewash them anyway because she misses spots, and 2. She has no idea where anything goes in my kitchen. SO it was easier for me to do them.

I love her, really I do, but sometimes words fall out of her mouth I think.

I will straight up punch a bitch I do not even care

Ha. I feel that way about my MIL sometimes too. In my head, I'm like, "JUST STAHP IT!" But I smile and just keep on keepin' on.

6fsn · May 2014

I never had anyone ask about a second/third/fourth kid or comment about bf'ing. I'm starting to think people just don't talk to me.

The only comment was after I told my boss he said. "I was starting to wonder if you were Catholic. I know I was at your wedding, but this kid took forever." Then he went on to calculate if my kid would help pay his social security.

People also ask Bacon "Wouldn't you like a little brother or sister?" Without fail, she looks them dead in the eye and says, "No." I love that kid.

No one ever touched my belly. I think they just thought I was fat, though. I mean, they still don't touch my belly, so that's good.

Bacon's last day of school is tomorrow - well, today, I guess, since tomorrow's the end-of-year-picnic. Hopefully I'll get paid this week, since I turned my timesheet in on Sunday, and we can get our parks pass this weekend and get all our beach stuff into the car, ready to go for when it's actually warm and not tornadoing on us. We also need to pick the house up so I can call the maids - my mothers' day present was a few hours' of maid service. I want them to clean crap I never do, like wash down the kitchen cabinets and stuff, so, you know. (And yes, I plan to tip well.)

And I have almost no church this week. Just Vespers on Sunday night, so I get to start sleeping in for the summer on Saturday. I'm trying to get myself on a decent schedule, so I can still write at night *and* do things during the day.

*Barbie* · May 2014

@6fsn - I don't think getting them a joint would fly. I wouldn't have any idea where to even get one. a college campus, maybe?

anyone who tried to touch my stomach got their hand swatted away.

Even though I stopped BF around 6-6.5mo, Wolverine got breastmilk until she was 18 months or so (she got cow milk too) - I didn't stop pumping until she was about 18mo. I was only pumping 2x/day at that point for like 5 minutes at a time, but weaning was really painful, and took forever to get past that 2x/day mark.

VarunaTT · May 2014

@tawillers I'm sorry for your family's loss. That's hard.

Since I'm the bitter old childless hag of the my group, I make the comment, "Don't you just luuuuuuv it when people touch you w/out permission" for my preggers friends if it goes on too long. Usually makes it stop, though I get a dirty look.

Yes, I am off tomorrow! Whoot, no more boredom! Or at least bored at home, which is much better.

One more day between us and the long weekend.
