09.06.05 (5:50 am)   [edit]
Doesn't it kind of suck getting back to the grind after Labor Day? I'm glad that we got to do some nice, summery things this weekend, even if DH and I were both really freakin' tired. I'm still having bloody, awful, raving nightmares when I do sleep, and then I'm afraid to go back to sleep when they finally wake me at 3 am or so. At that point, I notice that DH is still awake, watching TV with headphones on, and tell him he should go to sleep. Between the two of us, we're maybe getting six good hours a night. Definitely not enough.

We did head back to Kid Heaven, AKA the Skokie Water Playground, yesterday with our friends who have these two unbelieveably cute little girls. The teeny one, Ashley, is like a sweet, cuddly puppy. This was their first visit, so the girls were a little more nervous than our boys, who headed for the zero-depth pool as though their feet were on fire.

We got a few playground trips and several errands done this weekend, too -- I even took both boys to Northbrook Court (AKA NorthShoreNightmareMall) so I could pick up a baby gift at The Land of Nod. I managed to get through six hours alone with both boys without yelling. (Not without Zoloft, but every girl needs her crutch.)

I came to work at 7:00 today, since my gestational diabetes test is at 11:30 and therefore will require me to be absent from my chains desk for more than 15 minutes. When my boss arrived, she promptly sent me an e-mail admonishing me for only working 38 hours last week. I replied, letting her know I'd work overtime this week... before remembering that the office closed at 3:00 on Friday and therefore I normally wouldn't have done 40 hours anyway. And, oh yeah, I came in at 6:45 on Friday morning just to help make up some of the time lost from my car breaking down the previous day.

"There isn't enough Zoloft on the planet for me," I wrote to DH.

Didn't D point out to K after she was taken to task during her review that officially the minimum # of hours worked is 37.5, not 38, not 40.

I believe so, but nothing seems to get through.

But now if you talk to HR, you can point out that it is a recurring issue.
