Can't you put the kibosh on her, Sparky?
I don't feel like I can do that, yet. She's coming to us via an alum of the share, and so the nanny knows and likes her. I don't really feel I have enough ammunition to mess with the nanny's livelihood at this point (we each have a contract w/ her, we don't split her cost 3 ways), but I have spoken with the nanny about how important it is that I meet her because she'll be coming into my home every day, and the nanny was completely on board. They haven't signed a contract, yet.
As my DH will tell you, I hold a grudge, so a bad first impression is tough for me to get over.

Eight? How did that happen?!
Wow! I hope he has a wonderful birthday.

Now tagless for your comfort.
My sister and I are headed to Southern IN for a funeral. A friend's mother died suddenly this week. She's an only child and grandchild. We're going to provide some emotional support.
A member of my moms group just had her baby. She named him Dean Jensen. I think that name would be appreciated.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That's absolutely hysterical. I needed a laugh.
My head hurts so badly I want to hurl and cry. I can't believe it's a 4 day week and I am this badly off at the end of it. I need to call in working from home.

I had a baby Juniper born this week among my acquaintance; big sister Vivian. I also met a young man (a coffee shop server wearing a name tag) named Amirail today (with an umlaut over the second a. It's pronounced Ameer-a-eel, and is Arabic, according to him.
I can't think about babies right now without thinking of Jessica, though. I hope she is okay.

This doesn't belong in the same post as happy birthday wishes.
I have a Meeting From Hell that has gotten so out of hand it has infected Fridays. I'm starting to see the problem after putting together the spreadsheet for it. I don't think the people this meeting is supposed to manage are used to being held accountable for getting done what they say they will get done by a certain date. They just do what they can, move everything else to a different date and forget the old deadline ever existed.
My Friday is going to look a lot like a Monday.
