I haven't asked for the raise yet... I know I know. I'm being partially wimpy and the other part is that I don't think it's quite the right time. We had a rough two weeks at work...and in fact I pissed off half the techs one day....but they deserved it....we have some good ones and some that are worthless, and I demanded more than they wanted or are used to giving...ANYWHERE else they would have been fired months ago!!!!! But this place lets their staff walk all over them! ie....not showing up to work b/c you had to help catch your boyfriends grandmothers horse (and not calling)....taking AT LEAST 5-10 sick days a month for you or your kids.....telling a doctor "no" when asked to help with something (not something where an ethical decision is involved....but something regular like walking a dog, helping train a new employee)....UGH!

But whatever....the boss-man actually brought me a bag of peaches as a thank you after the day I created havoc so I think my no-nonsense-with-employee attitude was appreciated!

I worked almost double last week....(one vet was in Mexico on a mission trip)....I am so not into full time! It was way too exhausting for me....I'm sure it was combined with pregnancy, my stress about daycare and Daegan....and my first ever sinus infection (on antibiotics now and finally getting some relief!). I have Thursday and Friday off this week! THANK GOODNESS!!!!

I'm starting to get a little nervous about the baby. I don't know why....I think because I'm still weighing less than I was pre-preg with Daegan...and I don't really feel like I've popped....I'm only 13 weeks though. But my weight gain this go around is SO much different than with Daegan. It's probably all just normal this time and I don't really know how that goes! I also haven't had any ultrasounds/dopplers yet.....I have an appt next Tuesday and I'm pretty sure he'll doppler then. I think I'll feel better hearing the heartbeat. It's still so early, but I was definitely showing at 13wk with Daegan!

We had more issues with the daycare on Friday. I've called a couple more places and I hope there will be an opening in Aug. I need to go by the places tomorrow or Wednesday and see them and fill out some papers.....I can't find anyone for homecare that I trust. The moms that I trust seem tapped out....and searching Craig's List and the local moms board (redrivermoms.com) hasn't yielded anything worthwhile....the one I thought might be good....she was a client of the clinic and her chart shows spotty care of her pets....being a vet/animal person...maybe I'm being overly sensitive....b/c just knowing Heidi through this board, I think I'd let her watch my children...but she doesn't like dogs. But she also knows enough not to get one and then not take care of it!

Russ and I are running in a low spot right now. We had some serious chats this weekend...and I hope things turn soon....last week was really rough on me.....and I was looking forward to a weekend with my family to recharge....he planned to moonlight. Yeah the moonlighting is good money....and easy work for him....but not every weekend. I need my husband! And Daegan needs his daddy! I feel like the moonlighting is becoming an excuse to ignore/avoid us....and he admitted it is sometimes....that bugs me. And I feel it raises red flags.....he came around to my side and realized he'd been avoiding us.....I have no idea if it's going to change things....but I hope it does.

I hope that the schedule change will help too. The grumpy resident has made waves again (I really don't like him!!!!) and I can tell it's bugging everyone at the clinic. They moved him to the VA for the first block (4 months) and I hope that it improves morale everywhere (except the VA of course).
