Re: Good Morning MN!

  • I'm still applying for jobs. I think K's boss wants to hire me to do IT stuff, I told him only if I could take the instructor position. I don't want to do actual IT, even though I'm qualified, I hate it. But teaching Soldiers how to use our systems would work for me. I like to teach. So hopefully when he forwards the stuff to corporate, it at goes well. We don't have any real plans this weekend, I found out on the local board about a couple volleyball leagues so we may go find some things out this weekend.

  • Hey! How's it going?

    I'm up early getting up early getting ready for a meeting about one of my school munchkins.  So glad this week is over!  It's been one of those that is too long and too short at the same time.

    Headed to a concert at church tonight and then probably doing the Easter egg hunt thing with the kids tomorrow.  Glad I just wrote that cause I guess that means I need to go search for their baskets....Tongue Tied

  • Good morning!  Working (of course).  The highlight of the day is the sushi T is picking up on his way home and watching Just Friends after the babe is in bed.  Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and cold so I proposed we hang out in sweats, watch movies, and cuddle as a family all day.  Sunday I'm going to try and get a massage.

    I totally get this!  We got a new IEP system this year and somehow I found myself as the district administrator for it and got to teach everyone else how to use it.  It was actually really fun and I learned a lot!!!!  Still find myself over my head with some of the programming, but what's a day without learning something new right?

    Much luck to ya!  Hope it all turns out well!

    Thanks! And yeah, K does all their networking stuff for this company so he gets all geeked out and speaks IT but it's over my head.  But I know it well enough from the end user side of the house that I can teach it. And I thoroughly enjoy teaching Soldiers.

  • Ugh I'm so happy it's Friday. I feel like this week has been never ending. I'm sitting around with nothing to do until our 1030 FedEx shipment arrives, which hopefully has the stuff I need to get some work done today! Otherwise, I might be taking a long lunch...and I made travel arrangements yesterday to fly up for an interview where we're moving. Now I'm freaking out!

    Taking a day off work. Originally it was just to work on the seminar paper proposals I have due next week, but has evolved into a mental health day as well. This week has been crazy.

    Everything went ok.  They ended up having to take out the tear, it was non repairable.  They ended up taking out about 15 percent of my meniscus and the doctor says I shouldn't run anymore.  I spiked a fever yesterday which was scary for a minute as we thought I might have an infection.   But I am pretty good today.  Luckily H took off 10 days to help me so I haven't done much of anything but sit on my butt and ask for food/drinks.

    Ouch. I had an MCL tear which tried to heal itself and ended up getting stuck under my meniscus.  I had it repaired while DH was deployed. My mom came up to take care of me. If it makes you feel any better, I'm able to run. Not nearly as much or as far but I did run a half marathon last year. I just make sure to listen and when my knee starts to ache or even twinge, I take time off. My ortho also suggested taking glucosamine and it seems to have helped a bit. Hang in there toots!

    Thanks I am hoping if I work really hard at physical therapy that I might get the ok to run a little.  From what I have read it is pretty 50/50 some people who have had this can run and some can't. 

  • Morning! I am here, and desperately waiting for May. Please can it be May now? 

    Just trying to catch up on homework today. And I have to complete some computer proficiency tests for a temp agency today. At least it's a step in the right direction with job searching. But those two things alone have made me so stressed out this week. I just can't wait for school to be over so I can focus a little more on work.

  • I'm at work hoping it goes by super fast. I barely got here and I'm ready to go!

    H has weekend duty so we have to stay close to base. Maybe take B to the beach or something.

  • Hai.  Watching a movie about another earth.  This weekend will be full of more unpacking, writing newsletter and setting up outside stuff.  

    We want to get DD a play set, but the MCX doesn't have one here.  The only thing they really have to offer is a bounce house, which could be cool, but a little more than I want to deal with.  I just want a slide, something to climb on!  And nothing will ship out here. The yen rate is too much to pay for something off base, so I'm frustrated.

    Is the H handy enough that he could build her one?  I'm sure Pinterest has a tutorial.

    Won't lie, I've been laughing about it all afternoon.

     

    I think he potentially *could* but finding the slides/ gear it would need would be expensive and just as difficult as finding this thing already built.  We don't need anything big, just something to keep her occupied out there.  We can only look at so many worms/ bugs!

    Praying I get good news about my job interview last week! 

    I hope you get it!

  • Good morning!

       I'm working today. Hoping to take a long lunch so I can be here for a bit when tree trimmers are working on the tree in the front yard. I'm not looking forward to spending a little over $200 to trim a tree I don't think needs to be trimmed just to keep our neighbors happy. 

      Tonight we will just be hanging out at home, and watching movies. Tomorrow we are taking the pups to get their nails trimmed. I have to meet up with a friend to buy so burp cloths she made for me for gifts. We are having dinner at a friends house tomorrow which should be fun. I get to help pick out colors for some furniture for the new babies room!  Sunday is my cousin's bridal shower so I'll be going to that.

  • Good morning. Adjusting to life with DS; it's been a whirlwind of activities the past couple days. L is over the moon excited to have E home and K has been super awesome. Not planning on doing much more than the absolute necessities today.

  • Ugh. I'm having a crazy morning.

    Was up late last night finishing bridal shower favors under the impression I would sleep in this morning. Woke up at 8 and could not fall back asleep, even though I'm still exhausted.

    Went to Kohl's to get something from the bride's registry, but the line of dinnerware she wants is on sale and there was nothing left except the super-expensive stuff so I ended up getting her a gift card.

    I've been trying to get in touch with the catering director lady so I can pay for stuff but she's not picking up her phone. 

    To top it all off, my allergies have flared up and I have a hugeasss headache and sinus congestion. And I have to close at work tonight. 

    Tomorrow is bridal shower, then the bachelorette party that night. Sunday morning H and I have to deep clean the condo since our landlord is coming over for an inspection and so we can re-sign the lease.

    I just wanna sleeeeep.

  • We're going to a Comic Con!

     

    Um, yeah.  DH wanted to go, and I'm enough of a geek that the associated sci-fi and geek stuff should keep me entertained.  If not, I'll always have my knitting.  :)

     

    I think it'll be fun, even if it will be a bit strange.  :)
