I’m outside with the dogs this morning and it sounds like summer. There are so many birds chirping - its just so weird….
And yet, another awkward work moment...
Seriously, I was dreading this one meeting with a manager this morning and we (my sourcer and I) were able to break her and get her on our side and consider other profiles. I was bad cop, he was good cop…and it worked. My sourcer saved my ass, and for that, I sent a note to his manager on how much I love working with him and not to assign another sourcer to me (although he said my note...
Project New Bedrooms
Construction on the upstairs starts next week - let the chaos begin!
I’m so exited to finish off some wasted space in the house and have new bedrooms for the boys!
I am working from home. I also have this going on:
- cleaning people who are talking in another language no doubt judging me
- a contractor who is now 15 minutes late to give me an estimate on putting up a wall (don’t trust my husband - he’s sorta unhandy)
- 2 dogs in the house
- 2 kids I’ve bribed to stay in the basement
I think I’d rather be in the office...
Seriously?!?!
Where am I going this afternoon?
To take Dylan to the doctors.
Why?
The school nurse found cheese stuck in his ear.
How did it get there?
“my brother Nathan put it there…”
I was feeling sad and stressed today and then I had my review for the 3 months I was here and found out I’m getting a raise! That makes things a little better. :)
It's official...
I’m registered for my first half marathon. And I was nervous for a 10k…ha, that will be a breeze!
Totally forgot my badge today, so had to do the walk of shame with security to let me in my department doors. Thing that sucks the most? I need a badge to go to the bathroom. :(
Bad News - Patriots lost.
Good News - that means no crazy parade celebrations in Boston so we are clear to head there next weekend with the boys!
Make this day end!!!
It’s going by so slow - Words with Friends is the only thing keeping me from banging my head on the wall.
Seriously, I am in a computer comma. I accidentally activated the “sticky keys” and spent 30 minutes trying to undo it. I could use my mouse but not any of the keys…I finally gave up and called the help desk - they laughed at me.

My goodness. I just got a letter in the mail stating that bc of health reasons, our pediatrician has left the practice. This has been someone that I have trusted with the health of my boys for 5 years and always pointed us in the right direction. I pray she is okay and overcomes what it is that made her make this decision. We’ve been through a lot with her, and she will be dearly...
Emotional Day
I debated whether or not to share this. It’s not something I want to exploit or have my son treated differently - but this might be a good place offload.
We found out that Dylan falls within the autism spectrum. After the most stressful year of trying to help him, I feel a sense of relief. That my gut saying something isn’t right, was correct. He qualifies to continue with the...
