Em called me "mama".
And the big boss I was bitching about last week got the boot.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
EAT IT BOSSMAN!
Now I'll be waiting to hear that Em has learned how to say this.
(Of course, children being what they are, she'll say it at just the wrong moment....)

My weekend wasn't all that exciting. Leif came down with strep throat, so I was up till 3:00am Friday night and had to administer a few cool baths to keep his temperature under control. Saturday, I got a new battery for my car, and went to Topeka, KS to visit the rose garden for my wife, and to have the kids stay a bit at my parents house for pumpkin carving and crafts. Saturday night after a bit of verbal sparring with SO, I crashed.
Sunday, there was kitchen cleaning, grocery shopping with the kids, hardware shopping with Leif, much nastiness from SO, pizza making, carmel apple making, and more crashing to get up in time to exercise before work Monday.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Em called me "mama".
Woohoo!
And the big boss I was bitching about last week got the boot.
Note to self: Try to stay on Aimee's good side.
eta: Poor Leif. I hope he is feeling better.

yay, Aimee! Did it make you all sniffly? Franny said Daddy long before she would say Mama, so when she did, my first reaction was "it's about damn time!"

move out and draw fire
I used a headhunter prior to going to the company I'm (sorta) with now. I have mixed feelings about it. They get paid by the companies, so they were desperate to shoehorn me into a job that was all wrong for me, and it was verbal judo to stay out of it and keep them looking.
OTOH, I would never have applied to the company I ended up with, and it was a great fit, with a great salary, and I've stayed with them, if the headhunter hadn't hooked me up with them.
Poor sick Leif.
Grapefruit was my main craving during pregnancy. I'm normally meh on it - I can eat it, but it's not my first choice. And my family put salt on it, not sugar. (I use neither).

Leif is already doing a lot better. Once he started taking antibiotics, he improved very quickly.

I never liked grapefruit until I learned to peel the bitter membrane and just eat the lovely pulp.

They get paid by the companies,
Yay! 'Cause I have, basically, negative bucks at the moment.
so they were desperate to shoehorn me into a job that was all wrong for me, and it was verbal judo to stay out of it and keep them looking.
Not so yay. Oh, well. If I say "no" to something and the recruiter never speaks to me again it'll leave me pretty much where I am now. And it's not like I'm gonna stop looking on my own.
