Be Mine Randoms
Blah. I'm irrationally upset with my H right now. He put me in a very bad mood this morning.
Re: Be Mine Randoms
I was running late this morning and asked H if he could take T to daycare. He said no, and I said "Well, I don't want to either. I guess he can just stay here today." We laughed, I walked away.
A few minutes later H walked out to his car, and said "Come on T, let's go bye bye."
I thought to myself "Sweet!" and gave T a kiss goodbye.
A few minutes later when I was ready, I got into my car to leave, and lo and behold, there is a toddler in the carseat patiently waiting to go to daycare.
That instantly put me in a foul mood. I just assumed H decided to take him when he said "Come on T, let's go bye bye."
So my bad for assuming.
Happy Valentine's Day to me. I was nearly 15 minutes late for work.
Hmm... that would be frustrating. Did he think he was doing you a favor by getting T into your car?
Probably.
Like I said, it's irrational. And it's my fault for assuming. But it still made me mad.
Byron Center library usually has story time at 10:00 on Tuesdays.
I wasn't going to get anything for DH but I think I'll go on my lunch hour and get him a 6 pack of Two Hearted.
This weekend we are going to Minneapolis for my work (driving, so he's coming along). Should be fun. I like taking road trips with him.
Ben loves to do that. mostly because we end up at the play area
I am trying to get on their website and it is not working. Boo. I will try calling when they open. It is just far enough away that I don't want to make the trip and have it canceled for some reason. Thanks for the tip WOP!!!
Replace "from time to time" with "most of the time" and this is me lol. It's something I need to work on
Noah is a big fan too.:)
YUM. If you need a taste tester I'm your girl
We should have a bake swap GNO.
Ughhh....
That position I applied for in the summer is open again. The manager of that department told me I was number 2, and that if another position became open and I applied, I had a really good chance at getting it.
Do I want it?
Do I risk applying for it and getting rejected again?
Do I want to add another thing to my plate right now?
Ughhh....what to do?
I'm with you. And it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling that so many people are spreading the love at the same time.
You only live once....and you can sleep when you're dead.
I got Mike some Charlie Brown boxers and 2 gift sets of jelly bellys and he loved them. Phew!
If you can handle another possible rejection mentally, why not go for it? You can always turn it down if you decide it isn't for you!
Oh man. I would have been really mad. I don't think you being upset with him is irrational. What if you had decided to stay home from work and never went out to your car? A quick heads up of "Hey - I'm packing up T and strapping him into your car." would have gone a long way. The thought of dressing Henry in his winter gear and having to get him in a car seat always seems like the most daunting part of car trips, for some reason.
Agreed!
Good morning lovelies.
Mol, I'm sorry about the morning. Good luck with your decision re: the new position.
Stargirl: you could go to a bookstore where there's a train set and let N. stand at the table and play while you look at books.
Last night while finishing her school valentines treats, Willa called me Mrs. Black (her teacher) twice. And later she proposed making matching necklaces: "one for me, and one for... Mrs. Black." I'm glad she loves her teacher, but... sniff sniff.
I don't know why anyone would hate a day that encourages love. I get the point that love should be expressed year round, but who cares if there's a day set aside specifically for it as well?
Are you generally happy with your current position, or do you really want out/up?
Does this type of position open up often or at least a few times a year?
If it is a last chance job opening, go for it. If you think you would enjoy the job more and it would bring in more cash, it is worth it for the short term stress and possible rejection.
The answer to the first question is the one that matters most. If you want it, go for it. Good luck in your decision.
