Re: Randoms
I guess we can't keep taunting Boxer about beating a dog with c-c-c-cancer anymore. Way to ruin that for us, Kenzie.
Hezz, that is phenomenal! Your dog is a superhero! Just wait until she regrows her leg and really trips the doctors out.

I didn't have a single patient today. So I've spent 8 hours paying bills, organizing all that paperwork that just sits in a pile to get filed away and never does, and filling out patient satisfaction surveys. Oh, and filing my taxes. I actually LOVE filing taxes. I get so giddy when I see that federal return amount jump up. So far, I owe $900 to the state, but last year they refunded me $181, so I'm hoping that as I get further along, I'll move out of the red and into the black.
I have 41 TT floors. I think I may stop building for a while and just focus on getting in more dream jobs.
Paul's sister offered to throw me a shower and I was totally awkward about it so now I'm embarassed. I just think bridal showers are crap. I'm 31, I don't need or want anyone to buy me towels or blenders. It's just so gift grabby. Especially since we aren't doing a big wedding. So after I awkwardly and reluctantly accepted I texted her to say that I don't want gifts. BUT, if we all can just get together, drink wine, and eat snacks, that would be awesome.

It's true, it's not that hard. Plenty of people don't die from cancer. Woopty doo.

"You obviously don't know my dog." It's unheard of, dogs don't beat the c-c-c-cancer. You are so dumb.
I just got an email from Planned Parenthood with the subject line "Wow. Just wow."
As a marketer, I'm aghast, but wouldn't you know, it got me to open the damn email. But not break out my wallet.
Mucho likes purple nails and purple cupcakes
Yeah, I couldn't believe they used that as the subject. Turned me off.
I am going to donate tonight, but I was going to before I saw that e-mail.

10 minutes is a lifetime to a bunch of kids. Jo got in crap the other day because while my babysitter was making snack in another room (in clear view of the play room) she had the 2 year old boy she shares care with up on the middle cushion of the couch and launched herself off the arm of the couch onto the middle cushion forcing the 2 year old to become airborne and flip over the other arm. hysterics were had by all until my sitter saw the child midair, and FREAKED out and put everyone in time out and outlawed the play room for an afternoon. This was done in under 2 minutes. 10 minutes of alone time with 5 children would see weapons of mass destruction created and at least 3 broken arms.
Ok its not that bad but I'd be irate.
This is allowable per the state licensing authority (dept of human services). I am shocked and not happy about it. Wtf am I paying you for if not to actually watch my kid. And wtf were 3 teachers doing in the office to warrant them being alone. Their teacher needs to step out? Then one of the other 2 scurries on down to watch her class.
I doubt other parents know.
I don't see how there aren't liability concerns at least with this policy.
Wendy, I find that shocking. That's insane. I can barely leave for two minutes at a time to work on dinner without Evie scaling a bookshelf, I can't imagine leaving them alone in a room for ten minutes with a bunch of kids.
Hezz, I find that shocking too. And insane. But in a much more amazing, fantastic, awesome way than Wendy's daycare pile of suck.
Wendy-That's ridiculous. I have taught 7 yr olds and 12 yr olds and I'm hesitant to step in the hallway to talk to the teacher next door without having line of sight the whole time. I can probably count on 1 hand how many times I've taken more than 1 step away from the door and that's only because a kid ran out or something.
My random is I have my 1 hr glucose test tonight and I'm already fantasizing about what I can eat when I get home. So fingers crossed because I'll starve and cry and if I have to cut out carbs.
My random: we had a play date at the science museum this morning with twin boys from Will's preschool class. This was our first play date with them and it was pretty fun, and I like their mom a lot. Also, she told me that preschool devil child's last day in preschool was yesterday. Hooray! And Lorne is home early! Triple good day!
My confession: I put on three different outfits this morning. Because even though I see the mom twice a week at preschool, and sometimes I'm in my running clothes and all sweaty and gross, I found myself overly concerned about my appearance.
Wendy, that stinks. Ten minutes is a looooong time.
I'm getting my hairs did tomorrow. Despite my fantasy of doing SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT, I'm sure I'll get a trim and keep my blond and side bangs.
I'm preeeeeeetty sure I'm going to try to change careers. I'm just waiting to hear back from that job I interviewed for in September that is still open. At this point, even if I get that, I may just turn it down.

mod, probably something in non-profit management. I want something where I can feel more engaged with the community. I think I'd get that at a public library, but they don't want me.
I have quite a few contacts in the non-profit world here from my participation in a community organization and other volunteer work. I think with some tweeking of my resume and some solid networking, I could stand a chance.
It would appear so.
And they kicked us out of daycare permanently for complaining. Found out at 5:30 pm today, effective immediately.
SAY WHAT NOW?!?!
WHAT? are you foffing kidding me? what do they expect you to do?

What the ?! That is beyond ridiculous Wendy. You have a right to be concerned about your kid and being left alone. I would complain to the state...I know that doesn't help your immediate situation, but I would want to have their license pulled.
My random...got great shots atthe POTUS event, but my battery is dead and I can load them up...I was in the center of row 6. I got a fee crappy bberry shots as well but nothing as good as my real camera.
I am so foffing pissed I can't see straight. I said "just to be clear, we didn't violate any center policies correct?" she confirmed and i said "so we're being dismissed because I insist on my child being supervised?" and she said that she had tried her hardest to do just that, but apparently nothing was good enough for us.
