Sophia, wheelchair ramp?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Had my second interview for the other parttime job today. I really want it, they just seem so much more stable and cooperative, plus 20 minutes closer.

Regardless, I think I am giving notice at the current place today, I just cannot manage it.

Mac is at the grandparents' today, he did not want to go to camp at all. This is a one time thing though, they cannot manage him for multiple days.

3 more nights of vbs and then I will have my evenings back which will be good.

Sophia, could you just use ramp without a modifier?

My DH started his job in NY today, and I got a call on the Sass phone that needs to be checked out tonight if possible and a request for another TV interview for after work today. My nanny can only stay until 5:30 and K is in a phase where she screams if strangers come near her (esp that time of day).

Also, we are interviewing a candidate here at for for a position, and the annual reviews I write for my department were due, um, last Friday.

I need a doppelganger.

I'd say wheelchair ramp.

Sparky, you sound extremely stressed. UGH.

Noah and Grace are playing with play-doh at their table. I need to move the crib out and we were going to give it to a friend, except now drop side cribs are verboten. So maybe not?

I also have to program the next 5 levels of Grace's AAC device and write a proposal for a presentation on multi-genre writing and fill out Medi-Cal forms. AND take medical clearance/feeding protocol forms to Grace's doctor. And call the DME place, and the OT and and and and....

What I really want to do? Go swimming and go to yoga.

Yay--I just scheduled my massage and pedicure for Friday afternoon. I'm soooo glad my company is giving us a four-day weekend!!

I've been very productive at home. All of my living room and dining room are picked up and dusted, and all of the books, dvds, and cds have been reorganized and went through a very minor purge in those two rooms. I'll be home by 5:00 tonight, when I will vacumn the entire apartment (moving all of my furniture to vacumn underneath), clean out my hallway closets and under the kitchen sink so that I can reorganize my tools (currently scattered in at least three different locations), hang up some stuff on the walls, and possibly get started on cleaning the bedroom. Tomorrow night, after my swim, will be spent finishing the bedroom, and then Thursday night will be making my bathroom immaculate, including scrubbing the tile walls in the shower. Goodwill donations will be dropped off on Friday, and then my apartment will be gorgeous!

I know I won't be cleaning on this scale again before fall, but at least it'll be done for the quarter.

Also on Friday, I'm going to go shopping for the dress for my brother's wedding. I was going to wait until August, but it looks like the stores are already filling up with fall clothes, so I'd better go now.

Morning. ::yawn::

I gotta put down the keyboard and clean today, as we are having overnight houseguests tomorrow. Strangely enough, they are people from OTHER PARTS OF THE INTERNET.

Guys, it's true: they exist. And some of them are nice and smart, even!

But I gotta clean the bathroom and dust and stuff...

Me too. Let's run away. The kids will be fine.

I am totally stressed out right now. Fortunately, all the people in my department are animal lovers, so they don't fault me for coming in late and leaving early, but I hate doing it because I'm the supervisor.

Most drop-side cribs can be configured to not drop. (We accepted a hand-me-down drop-side crib for Aeryn because the alternative was spending money we didn't have. So there's also that.)

What it was an Evil!Sparky who gave everybody a Needs Improvement on their review, grilled the candidate mercilessly, and tracks down and slaps everybody who called on the Sass phone with false leads and mean prank calls?
