Anything exciting?

H and I watched I, Tonya last night. We loved it. It was not at all what we expected and I highly recommend it.

Traffic is a bloody nightmare around here. Kids are at bible school. I’m going to work out, work,and hit aldi.

This afternoon m2 has a follow up for her arm. Soccer tonight and Thursday and uniform fitting Wednesday (did I mention it’s off season?) Gymnastics Wednesday and Saturday. She’s got so many makeups from her arm, but she keeps missing for fun stuff.

NBSquared2017 · June 2018

Today is H's last day of residency!! Honestly, these last three years were a challenge, but I am so proud of him! I'm taking him out tonight to celebrate!

OliveOilsMom · June 2018

Last night was good. H was at the Phillies game with friends (they lost - boo!) and I was home with DD. She was good for me for the most part too, which is always a bonus! She did start getting tired a little bit early, but my parents were coming to drop stuff off, so I decided to wait it out with her. They and she were happy to see each other! She went to bed a happy girl after they left.

I did some things around the house after she went to bed. I also started to tackle our kitchen table this morning, which has become the dumping ground for random stuff.

Not sure what is up tonight. We have been waiting for our solar proposal for a while now. Each day, I get an update saying the proposal will be arriving today, but no proposal...

I’m ready to murder my mom if she doesn’t kill herself. This shit is ongoing. Last night she sent me a text that she was developing a rash and her lips were swelling. I was like go to the ER. Rash is one thing, swelling involving the lips is another. Then this morning she sends me a picture of her eyes swollen shut and lips big enough to make the Kardashians jealous so I called and yelled at her. She was trying to go to Urgent Care again. Woman. Go to the fucking ER. Stop stressing out the providers at the UC when you clearly have an ER appropriate issue. Next to swell is your tongue and airway.

I also have to take a panicked FI to the dentist today to get a bunch of work done. And somewhere in between that I have to do laundry, clean, and do homework. I was trying not to drink until the 4th of July for weight losing’s sake, but man do I need a margarita.

@NBSquared2017, congrats to your H! That has to be such a feeling of relief for both of you. What's the plan now? Does he have another job lined up? Is he opening his own practice? Are you all possibly moving?

You can also tell me to mind my own business, lol. I'm just curious because, despite binge watching 15 seasons of ER over the last few months, I'm still unclear on the "moving up" process. And I'm sure the real world is just like County General, lol.

CharmedPam · June 2018

WTG to the Mr @NBsquared2017, yeah that calls for a celebration.
Yes, I Tonya was great. Fab acting and great story line. Even living in Canada at the time, I remember being enthralled with that story line.

Yesterday was a night out with my friends, whom I haven't seen in 6 months and it was fun. Skipped the gym, obviously so tonight i have to make up for that. I wish H wasn't working tonight so we can go see Jurassic World. I want to see it Imax, 3D which would mean Tuesday discount night or Sat/Sun matinee.

The neighbor kid is driving me UP WALL! Mom works full time from home. Her daughter and 6let are the same age and her son is the same age as M2. Mom literally shoves them out the door in the morning, let's them in at lunch, and shoves them back out until dinner.

I have zero safety concerns about this. My kids LOVE playing with the kids and 90% of the time it's fine.

EXCEPT, THE 7 YO BOY IS THE WHINIEST MOTHER EFFER OUT THERE. His squeal is like nails on a chalkboard. If he's happy he whines. Sad he whines. Breathes he whines. It's AWFUL. He's so stinking annoying and it's all I hear ALL DAY.

Every once in awhile I've also gotten "can they come in and use the bathroom/get water/have a snack" Dude no. They live 2 doors down. Go home. They told my kids if they go in the house their mom will get fired so my kids feel sorry for them. Tough shit. Bad enough I can hear the whine through my closed windows it's not coming IN the house.

yeah, but she's got to let them in when it rains. Or it's just plain cold! So weird that she'd "get fired" if they came in.

6fsn · June 2018

@charmedPam she won't get fired. She just told them that so they'd stay out. For some reason they are always in my yard, which would be FINE if the wasn't so squeally and whiny.

If it rains mine have to come in too though:)

This morning a friend and I went to breakfast. Right now I'm applying for jobs. I received one or two rejection emails today from companies I didn't get to interview with, but that's all. Nothing exciting.

banana468 · June 2018

Good Morning!

It's Day 2 for Chiquita and Chiquito to be at separate camps this summer. Chiquito's off to the beach on a school bus. You guys. This. Is. Big. He still talks about a bus ride he took 8 months ago.

I'm following the story of The Red Hen in Lexington. There's an unrelated restaurant two towns over from me with a similar name that has no affiliation whatsoever and it's FB has been hit hard with people who have never been all complaining about it.

I don't care what your political affiliation is but if you can't support your statements with facts and won't listen to facts you're an ass who is hurting a local establishment.

*STIB*
@short+sassy - yes! he starts his new job on Monday. Luckly he's staying with a group that he worked with throughout his residency. He'll be an attending and will be the primary doc at one of the locations. I'm so happy about it because looking for another job is not something I was looking forward to. He started interviewing for jobs back in November and settled on his current group. The contract was fair and he knows everyone. It was the best option for both he and I. He knows the systems and the other employees so it's a smooth transition!
He had to take surgical boards this past March and medical boards in May. Once he passed those tests, he had to reach out to the hospital for privileges once his contract written up and signed. As far as working with the hospital there is no offical graduation (it depends on the program), he just has to drop off his resident badge and pick up his attending badge!
Edited: spelling

We also have a Red Hen restaurant the next county over. My friend lives nearby and frequents it. They too are getting inundated with bad reviews and other postings. A few weeks ago, the owner saw a small group of pre-schoolers on a walk with their teachers. She invited them all in for ice cream (or something else very cute). My friend commented on the posting about what a nice gesture it was. She now has a meme under her post with a doctored picture of the real Red Hen with a Nazi emblem over the signage and the text "Enjoy your Commie restaurant". And that guy put the meme as a Reply to every single commenter on that post.

I sincerely hope that Facebook takes down every review for every Red Hen restaurant left after Sanders left her tweet.

The one near me is a smaller restaurant in a tourist town and actually looks really good.

AS DH said to me today this is the venn diagram overlap of people who are both stupid and assholes.

Everything is so terrible right now. I hope and pray this all turns around in November. We are dangling over a cliff here and it's only been a little over a year. We can't rely on Mueller or Congress we need to stay mobilized at the state and local level and GOTV.

I can't take much more of all this mess.

So were weeeee!!!! We literally said exactly that! H was very reluctant to watch it but he totally loved it. He said he was going to recommend it to his coworkers.

I hate it too.

But my concern is that Trump's approval from his base is at an all time high. The other issue is that when any opposition "goes low" it ignites the base for further issues.

I didn't vote for Obama (nor did I vote for Trump) but I really miss when we had a POTUS who spoke in statements that were directed at unifying the nation even if they missed the mark.

Yes! It is just unreal. I was just reading an article about some of the innocent restaurants caught in the crossfire. Who basically posted that they are a totally different company. There is no affiliation. Etc., etc.

And STILL had people post negative stuff. Some posters had even obviously read the disclaimer and accused them of being liars.

The depths of stupidity people can attain, if there is even a made-up gossamer thread to "prove" their viewpoint, never fails to astound me.

redwoodoriginal · June 2018

@NBSquared2017 congrats to your H! My H just started 2nd year of residency today. Woof. So jealous y’all are on the other side of it!!

Yup. The one near me has a webpage and FB disclaimer and they're still getting hit with hate.

charlotte989875 · June 2018

Day 2 and I’m exhausted. It was pretty good. My manager is great and explaining things and walking through things with me. However at the end of the day I log into our benefits system and my salary is wrong. I told my manager and he said not to worry, but still wasn’t a great way to end the day.

So tired so I’m heading to bed early.

Congrats to your H @NBSquared2017!!

missJeanLouise · June 2018

Sorry guys, I am going to vent a little bit.

I had a rough day yesterday. First thing I saw when I woke up was a text from MIL basically saying that I am causing her to cry because of my lack of excitement for the baby. It really upset me because I love her dearly and value her so much. DH talked with her and she apologized (kind of) but I haven’t had a chance to talk to DH about it. I feel like the whole thing could have been avoided with a little communication but now I just feel extremely awkward.
I know she doesn’t feel involved but we haven’t really done anything, except buy dressers and get some hand me downs which we shared with her and my mom. We are doing a simple nursery, nothing to do there. I know she wants daily/weekly/monthly bump pictures but 1. I don’t normally take pictures of myself, never have, so it is unnatural and weird to me 2. I hate my body atm and don’t want people to comment on it. So yeah, it has been over a month since I sent her one.
Right now I am in the anger stage of processing this. It’s not fair for her to get mad at me for not including her when she knows her son’s phone number as well. He is just as much involved with this as I am. Also, just because I had a hard time in the beginning and I am not fitting into her Social media mold of what a pregnant lady should be doing doesn’t mean that DH and I don’t love this child, which is what she said in her message. She has literally never asked how I am doing since we told her I am pregnant. Always “how’s my grandson” “time for my bump picture” “what’s the nursery theme” etc.

I just hope DH will be up to talking about it this weekend because I need to.

6fsn · June 2018

Oh missjean, I'm so sorry. I don't have any words of encouragement, but hugs.

ShesSoCold · June 2018

Oh no, MJL, I am so sorry. I agree that talking to your H is a good idea and letting him talk to her again, if you decide it's necessary. I just can't imagine why anyone would say something like that to you. That's so out of line, I'm sad and so angry on your behalf.

CharmedPam · June 2018

huge hugs @missjeanlouise, I know you're handling this situation very well. She needs to know this! Talk to your H about this, and yes, he can be involved too!

missJeanLouise · June 2018

Thanks ladies. She is normally very sweet and kind but I know she is having a hard time with us being so far away. Couple that with my reaction and I know she just has a misconception of the situation. I need to talk to DH because it just feels gossipy to talk about MIL with other people. Plus he can help come up with ideas on how to make her feel better.

@redwoodoriginal - many thanks!! Year one was the worst...the second year gets much better. I'm not sure what his area of focus is or how long his program takes, but it's all worth it in the end!!

short+sassy · June 2018

@missJeanLouise, that was really terrible of her ((hugs)). I'm sure being pregnant is a physical and emotional upheaval at times. Every woman is different and every pregnancy is different. I remember when my sister was pregnant with her first, she said something like, "I know so many women who loved being pregnant. I wish that were me, but I can't understand it! I'm so excited to be having a baby, but I hate every minute of being pregnant, lol."

I also feel in the minority in this new world of social media, in that I also rarely take pics of anything. Not myself. Not every place I visit. Not every morsel of food I eat, lol. It just doesn't interest me. So I totally understand, if that isn't your personality anyway, being pregnant isn't going to change that.

Since she is normally a sweet and kind person, I would chalk this up to her angst of you all living so far away. I'm sure she is even more keenly missing the two of you. She probably wouldn't be feeling this way if she was able to see you all on a regular basis. Unfortunately, those feelings manifested into an unkind and unfair text. And I think your H should have stronger words about it with his mom.

Tuesday!
