Re: Wednesday randoms
I'm sorry :-( The Nest does suck. A few others are interested in creating a local GR board here:

It's not as pretty, but people very rarely have issues posting! They have a phone app too so it's easier to post from your phone.
Hi Star! Miss seeing you around here.
Are we signed up on pro boards yet? Maybe we can try posting there on Monday- sort of like an official kick off or something.
How are you all today? I'm ok. Trying not to slide into depression over my lack of job prospects. TW- did you get any response from sending your resume out? I have some leads for you if you are interested.
I did get one call and had one interview, but I don't think the job is for me. It was an entry level position that I wasn't really interested in after I had the interview. I was supposed to have a second interview, but decided it wasn't going to work out. They asked me probably 3 times in the first interview if I thought I was over qualified for the position, and that makes me think I really was overqualified and wouldn't be a good fit. Ha! I'd love some info on some possible leads. niclakos at hotmail dot com
I did a test post yesterday on the Pro boards just to test the waters.
Yesterday was a horrible night personally. DH is fighting wanting to give up everything because everything is falling apart. Lucky for us a good friend of his has a background in psychology and asked him to come over for a few hours last night.
I'm about offing done with packing and I'm just really wanting to say screw it and leave the rest behind. This whole process is enough to put me in Pine Rest for months.
How was the posting?
I'm sorry you and H had a bad night, I really hope H starts to feel better. You too. I recommend massages, a champagne brunch or something else relaxing for you both.
The proboards don't look too bad.
I had a doctor appointment yesterday that I had to take Hannah with for. She was rather well behaved - I brought crayons and paper and some of her favorite little animals to keep her entertained.
Now I have another appoitment on Monday that DH will have to watch her for but at least I know I can bring her with for quick appointments now.
I hope all goes well with your appointment on Monday.
I'm hungry now. I'm torn on what to eat yet again. Hot turkey sandwich sounds good but so does a turkey club and maybe some french fries or Pizza, wait no not pizza. I want some type of good comfort food.
Good afternoon!
We survived our first day of school, a day I had been dreading for five years, two months, and 6 days.
She did great. She was a little nervous but did a good job about walking into her classroom. It was a little chaotic because traffic was crazy.
I took Mia to story time today. If feels so odd to only have one kid. Allison was 14 months old when I had Mia, so I didn't get to experience one kid for long.
I thought about you and Allison yesterday GVSU. I was trying to remember my first day of school, and couldn't of course. I had (and still have) a strong attachment to my mom. But she worked in the elementary school I went to, so I wasn't separated too much. I still remember walking up to her classroom after school. Memories.
Of course, you can imagine the devastation when we moved and I really had to be without her all day.
I'm glad the first day went well. I'm sure Mia doesn't mind having mom to herself!
If you ever want to meet up during the week and don't mind a little tag on, let me know. Especially when ArtPrize starts, I hope to take her around town to some of the more kid friendly locations.
Mmmm..Deeder, a warm turkery club sounds good to me.
We are having leftovers brats/hotdogs tonight because DH had a big presentation at work today and I don't know when he will be home. So it's a leftover night. 
We've been in a rut for food lately, nothing sounds good really. If it weren't for Hannah I'm sure there would be some nights we just wouldn't eat.
Speaking of Hannah...she's yelling "I'm stuck!" from the other room. Better go investigate. Haha!
Here's hoping that Hanna's unstuck.
If the "play date" works into my area I wouldn't mind tagging along.
That reminds me that I'm pretty sure that across the street from my building is some sculpts that are for ArtPrize. They look like whale tail fins. I like them.
confession: I'm home alone and board out of my mind and on drink #3. he he. its going to be a fun night for me. wwweeeeeeeee!!!!!!
