DDA Chapter 15

Kathrin did not get the job at The Princeton Review.

That is all I know because she texted me as I was teaching and then she was headed out to dinner with her room mates.

Oh Elin I am so sorry for her...I hope something else wonderful comes her way.

 

[mommykds]

Has anyone heard from Glynis?

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Sorry Elizabeth. I could teleport you our leftover pizza. (I can't find that teleport smiley)

No, thanks! I am still having trouble with my esophagus burning, even when I haven't had anything acidic. Not sure what the deal is with that but I hope it stops.

Oh, I am sorry! How disappointing! I hope an offer comes her way soon!

Theresa - I hope an offer comes your way, too, so that your departure won't be quite so sad.
It is hard to look at my sweet DS and know that my mom considers him some sort of second class grandchild. The only time she ever stood up to the Ogre was when he told her she wasn't allowed to go to the hospital when I was in labor. She was there when DS was born, but apparently he has served his purpose and now she is on to better things, like those toddlers.

I just spoke to her. DS called her, but then she asked to speak to me. The oncologist changed her treatment plan. The swelling in her arm combined with the numbness and tingling (neuropathy) made him decide to stop the infusions she is having and just do one final "mega dose" of another drug the week after Thanksgiving. And I just said "Oh, really?" I am not thrilled with the term "mega dose" as it relates to chemo, but I didn't say that.
She isn't 100% sure they are coming down next week. It depends how she feels, and it depends on the weather. She missed 3 days of work this week. She said Ms. Selfish's in-laws are doing their big dinner on the weekend instead of on Thursday, so that makes me think we might not see her at all, even if she does drive down. So whatever.

Since we didn't have dinner I put on my lounge pants and got into bed. DH gave DS some Spaghettios. But then DH came charging into the bedroom, ranting and raving about how since I was in bed DS would have to put himself to bed. He tells DS REALLY LOUD to brush his teeth and not stay up too late, because Mommy is already in BED! So I got back up. Stupid DH doesn't bother to plan anything for dinner AND he insinuates that I am not supposed to go to bed until I make sure DS brushes his teeth. Nice. When I work late on the weekends DS is able to police himself, but if I am home then it is apparently my duty to sit here until after DS goes to bed. I was already in a bad mood. Now I am in a worse mood.

Emma got her first report card with actual grades and it was straight A's!!!!

That is awesome. I'm so proud of her

Hugs to all of you. I am sorry it is so crazy for all of us.


So I asked for good thoughts for my family and told you I would share later. So here it goes.

My Aunt and Uncle are separating. Aunt is going to Tennessee for Thanksgiving leaving my Uncle and the two boys here. She is coming back and they are still planning on living in PA until June. As of then who knows where they will end up. Apparently my Uncle is going to end up with the two boys. Let's just say they are both Mama's boys, so I know it is going to be tough on them. They are 10 and 14.

My Grandpa fell over backwards. He hurt his back and some other stuff. I am not 100% sure exactly what. He is in his 80s.

My brother had hurt himself during the car accident. He has at least one dislocated disk in his back. Plus he has summons, because they are now claiming the accident was his fault even though, the guy admitted to the police it was his fault.

We had two new employees start on Monday to replace, two of my co-workers in membership. The one's final day was today. The other moved to another department. So this has made time in the office crazy as myself and the other remaining membership manager are trying to train the two new hires. We are also trying to get our own work done. I have been out like 4 nights plus weekends every week this month. I am glad December is almost here as it is my slowest time of the year. As everyone is out and about with holiday celebrations.

Plus I had to clear snow off my car last night and this morning. Not my favorite thing in the world.

So I hope all of your lives are going better then mine.

If you hung in through all of this. Thanks!

Wow Becky. You sure have a lot on your plate. Things will get better

No, thanks! I am still having trouble with my esophagus burning, even when I haven't had anything acidic. Not sure what the deal is with that but I hope it stops.

Elizabeth...where to start?

I get a lot of heartburn in my upper chest and throat every time I gain weight. It is aweful and even water will bring it on. Once I lose the weight the heartburn goes away. I know this as I'm about 20 lbs heavier then I once was and I certainly have the heartburn lately

As far as DS. Let him do it alone and ignore DH. My kids manage to put themselves to bed long after I go. I haven't lost one yet. He would be fine and would probably enjoy the responsibility.




Elin I'm sorry to hear that she didn't get the job. I'm sure that the perfect job will come along though in this economy it might take a while

I didn't hear from the Post Office today so I don't know where I stand there.

 

[my3princes]

Hunter is having some difficulties in Language Arts, which is of course the subject that Nick is also struggling with. I don't know what happened to my Straight A kids? Hopefully they can turn it around before the end of the quarter.

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Just stopping to say hi..i had a busy and long day and now im headed to bed! talk to you all soon

 

[my3princes]

Ugh Cameras are driving me crazy. Now I'm looking at a model for myself. I really shouldn't spend the money...but...there are a lot of good deals out there. I was thinking of another pocket sized camera, but a 10x optical zoom and image stabilization on a bit larger camera is very appealing. I do already have a perfectly good pocket sized one Of course I need to find something for Hunter too

Good morning.

We were awakened by the smoke alarm blaring at 7:10 AM! I went around and checked and everything is fine. I guess I should be thankful that it waited until dawn to be annoying.

 

[MrsHeg]

Congrats to Emma for such wonderful grades!

Anne Marie - This too shall pass, Katie is at a difficult age anyway and the move is really stressing her out. She's such a cutie I predict she will make friends in no time.

Elin - The right job is still out there for Katherine and I still have faith that she will find it.

Robyn - Glad your thumb wasn't as bad as you thought, OUCH! Lot's of PD for Joe.

Marci - Lot's of PD for you, I hope your shoulder is feeling better today.

Elizabeth - I don't have any good advice, just a

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Good morning...

Elizabeth- Hang in there. 's

Tammi- I am glad it was no more than an annoying wake up call.

I managed to watch about 10 minutes of Kit before I passed out at 7:50ish! I know Emma was the only one to watch it to the end (she felt the need to wake me when it was over to tell me that it was over ) but I don't know what time Mo zonked out.

I managed to sleep soundly til about 3am. But I think 8pm to 3am is a lot more than I have gotten lately so I'm not complaining.

Emma and I have a few errands to run before I drop her off for her play date. I need to get showered and out the door by 9ish.

Have a great day.

Princess just walked up and handed me a booger.

Theoretically I should be going home in 3 hours or less.

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh!

 

[MrsHeg]

Becky - Prayers and PD for your family

 

[MrsHeg]

I'm sorry, but this made me laugh!

You have many incidents like this to look foward to

 

[Mommy2EmMoLu]

Emma has a great big

THANK YOU

for all the praises you've given her. She is super excited.

Well, I got the playroom 70% done this afternoon. Unfortunately the remaining 30% is still all over the living room so I guess I had better go finish. I moved everything out of the playroom so that I could rearrange the big pieces and have been working on getting the small stuff back in. I do have at least one big box of stuff going out of the house all together, and probably two, so that is good. Right now though, I'm starving so I've got to figure out what I want to eat and where to get it. Something is being picked up for dinner, that's for sure. I'm too beat to cook now!

Good for you! I never did get myself moving like I would have liked!

I am built that way now. The part that made me willing to kill myself trying to make my mother listen to me is broken, and I will not be replacing it. I'm done.

...

Apparently we aren't having dinner. DH went to the ATM but he couldn't find a menu for Chinese so he decided to do nothing. Now it is way too late to call for Chinese. I love how I am the only person capable of doing ANYTHING. Really. It's fabulous. I hope I live to be 100 and have to do every last fricking thing myself.

Kathrin did not get the job at The Princeton Review.

That is all I know because she texted me as I was teaching and then she was headed out to dinner with her room mates.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear this.

 

[my3princes]

Good Morning.

I think I remember reading that some of you have the Canon S5. Is $250.00 a good price for it or could I do better? Of course the all hinges on me getting the overnight job anyway. I maybe just dreaming.

I'm glad it was nothing! (And that it waited! )
