prairiewindmomma Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 *******************Dental Alert****************** Black belt babysitter was here again this afternoon. She made GFCF brownies with the girls while I took oldest to the oral surgeon for his pre-op consult. He needs to have his wisdom teeth out and the gums exposed so that his 12 year molars can come in. This now makes two kids who will have maxed out their dental benefits in the first four months of the year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 This is why I never shop at TJ Maxx or Ross or Marshall's. Ross is the only place I can get decent clothes that actually fit me - like jeans that don't just reach to my butt crack - at a decent price. And, there are never a lot of people there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Once I asked the serial number. The guy senses I knew what was up so he went on "reading" numbers and letters for like 100 digits. Might have even been pi from digit 3 to 103 or so. At the end I said, "nope, off by one number, you must have the wrong house" and hung up. I hope he also got a laugh. Prank the phisher booyah!

Slache Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) My mother is moving in with exbf from high school. I can only imagine how that sounds *but* she has somewhere to stay and she doesn't have to worry about bills or the dogs or anything until she gets back on her feet. She really screwed up and she's lucky to have such a generous friend willing to help her. She sounded very relieved over the phone and was kinder than she's been in months. So, crisis averted. And she won't be near us. Edited April 8, 2016 by Slache 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Just got back from my administration testing at the church. (Btw, this whole interview process is in depth. I don't think my husband's high security job is this intense!! :lol: ) I think my typing was subpar - nerves, new computer, cold hands, and more nerves. But, I was able to figure out how to create a form (using tables), and was able to figure out more things that I haven't had exposure to yet. The HR assistant was really nice, so that helped a lot. The test isn't a "make or break" type of deal, more just to see where you are, so that helped ease the nerves, too. Apparently, this position and several others were being tested for today. Also, most of the positions are brand new positions. There are no assistants right now, so it's all new territory. I don't think anyone else was there testing for my position, though. So, fingers crossed, prayers rising, hope floating... what else can I do? lol Oh, should I shoot the assistant a "thank you" email? She was so nice, helpful, and honestly made it a relaxed situation. I know you're supposed to send thank you notes when you have a real interview, but what is the protocol for this scenario? Yes to thank you email.

Renai Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I had a low grade headache yesterday. I woke up this morning with it a little worse. I haven't had migraines in a long time and didn't want one to start, so I took 2 extra strength Tylenol. Those never worked on a migraine, so was hoping it could stave it off before it hit migraine status. I got to the school, and Tylenol hadn't yet touched what I had in 45 minutes. Thus, I went to the school nurse and asked for ibuprofen. We don't keep ibuprofen in our house because of allergies, yo. Took 400 mg of ibuprofen. It took a while for the pain to go down, and there was only a brief flash of intense pain after about 3 hours, but otherwise I had no pain, just pressure. But holy batman was I drugged out of my mind. And it was picture day. Der. Good news is, I haven't had to take any more meds all day. I think the 1-2 punch worked. I did get home and go straight to bed and napped. In other news, I hate Panda Express. We went there to eat anyway the other day. I dug out the fortune cookie from my purse after I awoke from my nap a little while ago and it reads, "AVOID UNCHALLENGING OCCUPATIONS - THEY WASTE YOUR TALENTS." Guess that means I should quit my job. Oh, wait. That's been pretty challenging. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

texasmama Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 (edited) K. I just thought it would be nice to get some Tylenol in her. 102 is a little too high for my taste. I only "worry" (i.e. give meds or use other measures to lower fever) when it is over 104. Being dehydrated from throwing up can cause fever, though not that high. Fever by itself won't hurt anyone unless it gets over 105 or even higher. It's just your body mounting a defense against whatever is making you sick. I treat symptoms of pain with ibuprofen but do not treat fever. Only one of my four kids has ever gotten so dehydrated from throwing up that he needed medical attention. He was 18 months old at the time and could not even keep down breastmilk. I knew when it was time and took him to the kid's hospital ER, where he got an IV for a few hours and nursed in the room and was released. You sounded concerned so I wanted to throw that out there.

Critterfixer Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Well, I stuck with it and churned out my 2,500 words for the day. Took me all afternoon, mind. Things kept needing attention: dogs wanted food and walkies, cat needed cuddling and eye drops, chickens wanted snacks, and those silly boys of mine wanted feeding. I'm sitting pretty at 14,727 on my word count 7 days into NaNo camp. And it's good stuff, yo. Sometimes I love living in my writer's world, I really do. Sometimes I just want to stay there. But then there are all these critters that need fixing and boys than need schooling and chickens that need pampering and so on and so forth. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
