Free for All Friday & Weekend plans (11/30/2012)

Re: Free for All Friday & Weekend plans (11/30/2012)

  • Tonight: laundry city! Have to get everything done because DH is leaving for a business trip on Monday. Hopefully sushi for dinner.

    Saturday: taking the kids to see Santa. If we finish up early enough, DD has practice for the Christmas pageant at church.

    Sunday: church, then visiting friends and watching the Pats game.

  • Randoms...

    If my kids touch my computer and mess with the settings or force errors one more time, so help me...

    Hoping I can actually surprise DH next week on his birthday. He'll still be away, and at the end of a really busy work week. I just want to do something to let him know we're thinking about him. But first, the hotel needs to call me back!

    I have just one more person to buy for this Christmas. But, her birthday is the week before, and I am struggling with both gifts this year. Argh!

  • DS woke up at 3:50 this morning, completely alert and ready to go for the day. I spent the next hour and a half trying to coax him back to sleep in the guest bed with me. It was a massive failure. At 5:30, I dropped him off in my usual bed with DH and went back to sleep in the guest room for half an hour. Of course, he fell asleep almost right away for DH. I am seriously dragging.

    I went to Walmart on my lunchbreak to try to pick up newborn essentials. I was only partially successful, as they apparently don't sell pampers sensitive diapers. The bright side is that I did get a bunch of stuff on my list, half with coupons, and the cashier was the nicest, most chipper one I've ever encountered at Walmart. She was a pleasure.

    The landscaper that we hired to do our fall cleanup flaked on us because he's now "too busy." Except he's still advertising to get more business. Not only did he flake, but every time we tried to contact him for the past week to try to figure out why he didn't show, he pretended he couldn't hear us (even when calling from land lines and borrowed cell phones, so he didn't recognize the #). He can't believe we reported him to the BBB.

     

    Tonight: Sewing and sleeping. Hopefully a lot of both.

    Saturday: Running as many errands as my body and DS can handle in one day. Lots of little things to shop for while DH works on house stuff.

    Sunday: Same as Saturday, but hopefully watching the pats game in the afternoon. I also want to get the infant seat installed in our cars since the weather is supposed to be nice and warm.

  • Ugh. My old OB's office manager just called. She actually called my desk phone (which the office staff could never bother trying... they only called my cell which I can't check during the day). My doc figured out that I left the practice and was upset and wanted to know why, so she had the manager call me. I thought I was over the emotional part of the switch - but I'm apparently not, as I fight back tears and hide in my cubicle. If only they had reached out when I asked for my medical records, and not 3 weeks later after finding a new practice... back line numbers to reach a human being would have made a big difference to me. Too late now. I feel awful that I hurt my doc's feelings.

  • Sorry to hear that, Amy! Nothing like a guilt trip after the fact. If they had been more receptive to you when you were trying to simply be seen, then it would be different. The office brought it upon themselves :(

  • Just catching up. Amy don't feel guilty - you have to do what is best for YOU and your baby. Doctor's feelings don't matter here, and her office should understand that. Calling a very pg woman to make her feel guilty? that seems unprofessional to me. It's their fault - their office that was cancelling appointments and not hearing you, not being there for you, the patient. Don't feel guilty - you did what you need to do for your baby and your health. ((hugs))
