So much confusion with E's school. I thought they were open Mon-Tues and closed Wed-Fri for teacher training (they do this every year). The list of closure dates I received only lists Wed-Fri, though in previous years they have been closed the whole week. On my way out Friday, I asked the afternoon receptionist to confirm, and she asked if I had been given the holiday care sheet ($35/day), and I said no, that I guess we wouldn't be in on Mon-Tues. She's an older lady and doesn't always have the correct information. Concerned that nobody had told me Mon-Tues were holiday care days, I e-mailed the director Friday afternoon, but she hadn't responded, so I just assumed we were staying home all week. She just e-mailed me back and confirmed that I was correct the first time, that only the PK and up classes have holiday care, and daycare isn't doing holiday care anymore, they're either open or they're not (what I had thought was true, based on a previous letter we had received). So...I guess I need to go prep a couple of breakfast and lunches, because I have a ton of work to do and would much prefer to send her to school for the next 2 days!

Our babysitter just left for college. I might be more upset than her mother.

Yikes [MENTION=4205]alotofyarn[/MENTION] how frustrating to have such information inconsistency.

I don't really have a rant except DF is on survival haha that was meant to be surgery rotation (2 weeks in 6 to go). He warned me it would be rough. We speak about once a week now and a text message every few days. It's a bit lonely. Good things I've got my iMSN peeps and my study August might be a long month...(not to sound entitled or anything)

Had DH drop our dog at the groomer this afternoon. Asked for a Westie cut. Pointed out lengths. Guy made it seem like he knew what he was talking about.

I picked up the dog. She looks like she has an even shave all around. I'm guessing somewhere between 1/4" and 1/2" left. In what universe is that a Westie cut? The manager admitted the groomer was new. Uh....thanks? Got some coupons for future visits, but I'm not taking her back. Totally a not real problem, but argh.

This happened to me once. The groomer shaved my yorkie's FACE. It was horrible.

Her face?! I am horrified!

This is our girl right now. She short hair sort of makes her look like a puppy, so my annoyance is tempered.

AWWW! Poor girl. If nothing else at least she's a bit cooler for the time being?

So were we. DrK kept telling her we adored her despite the inhumanity that had occurred. She had a show coat too with a mustache and beard to the floor.

The baby nurse just told me she may need to stay with previous client a few extra weeks and wants to bring over the woman she will be "job sharing with." I was a little annoyed since I booked this so long ago. But then she told me the pervious client is starting chemo August 11th.... So now I feel bad, but I'm also kind of like - why can't the other lady work for the previous client.

Anyway I'm a bad person. It's just kind of last minute. I hope I like this other lady.

You're not a bad person, [MENTION=3775]JDAZ11[/MENTION]. This is someone who is going to be involved in your lives in an intimate way. Id be annoyed too!

Awe. Thank you. I agree. They are basically living here. We just bought a second guest bed for the occasion. But fingers crossed it will be ok. I'm thinking I'll start looking for a nanny or someone more reasonably priced for during the day after the first month or so anyway.

New rant. I was sleeping great until an absurd thunderstorm woke me up, and of course 10 minutes later DH got called in. I heard a helicopter flying in the middle of it - no idea how - and knew it'd be for him. I hate when he gets called in during bad weather. AND now my heartburn is awful and I can't fall back asleep. I'm loving this third trimester thing!

I am up too. Coffee ice cream has caffeine, apparently. Ugh. DH is snoring, our dog keeps startling me because she looks so different, and I'm feeling fat from the aforementioned ice cream. Arrrrrgh.

Why when you need something you never see it for sale? I'm after 6 hula hoops to make Quiditch goals and suddenly Glasgow is devoid of them. On the upside young lassie assistant told me I didn't look like I needed to work out.

Must wipe smile from face.
