MUE and Jersey(for your H). Have you ever heard of Indeed.com, an employment website? I was not familiar with it until this week, and they have tons of jobs listed(at least in my area).

Ike - Never heard of indeed.com. I will definitely check it out. Thanks! Sorry to hear that you and your wife are having an issue with this job acceptance situation. Either way works, whether you take it right then and there - or you wait until Monday. It's not unreasonable at all to want to take a few days to consider it. I'd imagine it's the norm. I hope your wife doesn't blow it all out of proportion (although it seems like that already happened).

((( Granite )))

((( Sila )))

Glad that you survived your T sessions!

I see T tomorrow...although I'm a little concerned about my schedule for tomorrow. My daughter is blowing her nose constantly and I foresee her staying home from school sick tomorrow. My mom has a temperature of over 102, so my childcare is out.

I have a coffee date with a friend tomorrow morning. I can cancel that if I Have to.

I have a lunch date with a friend tomorrow - and she even secured a babysitter so she could meet me for lunch. I would hate to cancel on her.

I have a T session in the afternoon. I missed the cutoff to cancel within 24 hours so I would be responsible for the full session cost if I miss. So, I don't want to do that.

My daughter is 11 and could stay home alone, if it's only just a cold. BUT, I have no home phone and only my cell phone, so that makes it risky AND she doesn't like staying home alone even for 10 minutes. So, that's pretty much out.

Sometimes I really hate the responsibility that comes with being a single mom.

Maybe I'll let her sleep in tomorrow for a couple extra hours and then drop her off to school later in the morning if she's feeling well enough. I know I have to make her my primary focus.

*sigh*

MUE-Just focus on making it to the T session..and tell the friend that its up in the air. You never know, your D may be able to go to school tomorrow. Got some Triaminic around or anything? Or Nyquil? Something that will help with the symptoms and put her to sleep super early?
Thanks for this!

Yeah, if you're on PC, you DO know the kind of people I am talking about. LOL.

and no talking to street people; it might be dangerous. Tell them your semi-imaginary friend MKAC told you not to talk to strangers.

Thanks, Jersey.

She took some Tylenol Cold and is now asleep....earlier than usual. Most times, I'm telling her repeatedly at 10 - 10:30 that she needs to FALL ASLEEP. Not tonight. She's was OUT by 9 PM.

I'm going to play it by ear tomorrow....Hopefully, she'll go to school. If not, then maybe a couple hours late....if not, then I cancel my lunch plans. I'd hope my friend would understand. And, I can ask T if I can bring my daughter. She can stay in the group T room for 40 minutes. It won't kill her.

So that's that.

ended up back at the urgent care with my daugther tonight.. Dx with sinus infection and croup on Sunday.. hasn't gotten any better. Then tonight she started crying in pain, telling me her ear hurt. So, off we went. Sure enough, still has sinus infection and apparentley the EI was resistant to the amox she was already on. So, we will start a new antibiotic in the morning. Which, brings all kinds of stress. As she has had an anaphalaxsis reaction to antibiotic before.. I hate starting new meds, not knowing what kind of reaction she will get. I am a tired momma. And I want my little girl to feel better.

I was going to suggest you bring her.. My t always suggest that, until I remeind him that my kids are 4 and 3 and would tear his poor waiting room apart.. lol.

Just saying hi. I worked a 13 hour day. I am really wired and should be in bed. So I may take some extra melatonin and go sit in the dark.

Hope everyone is doing well....

In my country, you can't leave a child alone in your yurt until she is 14.

Likewise, but I don't think it's particularly black and white (though I don't know a lot about it). Apparently the law states that you can't leave them "without making reasonable provision for their care and supervision".

I was left before 14 and I enjoyed my time on my own. I don't think I was very confident about it before 12, and by 13 being on my own was preferable.
Thanks for this!

I was definitely left on my own when I was considerably younger than that; 8 or 9, maybe earlier than that. I always enjoyed it. I feel most safe when I'm alone, and that was true when I was little as well.

Er, yeah, and in other news I started talking about inappropriate anger today, in T. It was quite embarrassing. But then, every single session is quite embarrassing. I'm not sure why I'm putting myself through this.
