I talked to my boss today and she said she fired her MIL! OMG that is awesome news. I worked one shift with her and she was so damn controlling it was unbelievable! She was an employee just like I was but holy crap, she bossed me around like she was the boss! Umm no woman, you're equal to me, not above me, get over yourself.
I was dreading having to possibly work another shift with her but I was going to refuse to do it, it was that bad. Well, now she's gone. Yeah!
Also, a problem woman at DH's office is getting fired too. They should've paid more attention in kindergarten and learned to get along with others!

My good news is that I found our momma hen and her 2 babies! We have had so much flooding and rain I just knew they were lost. Here she is with one of her babies.  And here she is with both babies.  |

Our surrogate/gestational carrier went over the contract with her lawyer so we are one step closer to doing our frozen embryo transfer!

My older DD is a college sophomore. She is majoring in Marketing & Management and thinks she would like to go into sports marketing.
She's staying at school this summer and was looking for a job. There is a local minor league baseball team (Northwest Arkansas Naturals) who were looking for an intern. She thought it would be good experience. Applied, then found it it was for the grounds crew.
She decided what the heck, she'd pursue it anyway because any experience with a sports team she felt would be beneficial. Well she interviewed and SHE GOT IT.
Even more fun is that she is the first ever female grounds crew intern for this team! And the head groundskeeper said it is common for business/marketing majors to intern in any department, and that he would make sure she gets to know the marketing department as well.
She is very excited!

I officially accepted my teaching position back for next year. It is the same school where my son went (he will be in high school next year) and Phoebe went as well.
I know it will be hard at times, but I also know I love the school and they have been amazing throughout our ordeal. The buddy bench that was talked about in a thread about a month ago that is being put in in Phoebe's honor will be outside of my classroom window.

I got the call yesterday that all is a go for submitting my name to UNOS to be put on the liver transplant list.
Hopefully more good news tomorrow from my liver doctor, like "Okay, now we can do this procedure that will help you not have so much fluid build-up and will reduce your esophageal varicies." That's what I'm expecting to hear, anyways.

I love reading everyone's good news! I have a few things to share...
We are finally moving this Friday. We've been slowly moving things over to the new house for the last few weeks, but the movers will take the furniture over on Friday morning and then it'll just be cleaning up here. I can't wait to be in the new place.
Also, I am down to just 1.25mg of Prednisone for my scleritis. I've been dealing with it for over a year now, and have been on Pred for almost that long. This is the second time I've tapered down, and the first time the dose has gotten this low with it recurring. My fingers (and toes and eyes) are crossed that this nightmare might actually be ending.

One of my dearest friends just received word that she's been put on the lung transplant list. She suffers from idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and will die without a lung transplant. Last month she had surgery to help control her acid reflux, one of the conditions of getting on the list. Thankfully, the surgery has been successful so far.
Just getting the news has lifted her spirits so much! It's amazing how a little hope can do that.

My husband got a new job. The company he will be working for is a client that he did service for and they like him so they asked him to apply, and he got the job! He will actually get merit raises now. He hasn't had one in 11 YEARS!!! with his old job. His boss and co-workers will not be very happy when he quits (just doing drug screen today and then can put in 2 weeks' notice when that comes back), because he is quite valuable to the company, but apparently not valuable enough to actually reward him.
My oldest daughter graduates this week with her Masters in Music Performance. She has done wonderfully, but she is really just ready to be done with school, so I'm happy for her!

My daughter qualified to compete at the national finals of the Interscholastic Equestrian Association, held last week in Lexington Ky. She placed third in her division - third in the whole nation! She also competed for her team in the team portion of the competition, and the team placed 6th overall, out of the top 12 teams in the country. It's a huge accomplishment for her and the team - it was only their second year competing with IEA, and we live in the toughest zone in the nation for western competition.
I'm a proud momma.

I also might have mellowed with age. |

My best news at the moment is that no one in the house is puking (we've been fighting a stomach bug for 9 days as it's slowly made it through everyone in the family except me). Because of said stomach bug, my house is very clean and most surfaces have been wiped with antibacterial wipes.  Also because of said stomach bug being in the house, I've finally reached under 200 lbs bringing my total weight loss to over 150 lbs. We're down to only 29 actual school days left!!!!! |

I'm going to go with "Yay!" for you, Brandi. You are always one to look on the bright side. As for me, my work correlating to the next generation science standards is leading to a LOT of work for me in developing science curricula that meets those standards. I have projects lined up for the entire year, when normally I can't look more than 3 months ahead. Just in time for the next set of college tuition payments starting up in August. |

DD got her ACT grade back yesterday and kicked butt! I was expecting her to do well, but we were all pleasantly surprised at how well she did. She's a strong student and this will certainly help her college applications next year.
Also, I listed my Fitbit Flex for sale on our local garage sale page on FB on Sunday night and sold it today for $68 which I put toward a FitBit Alta which Target has this week for $130 and you get a $25 Target gift card with purchase (which is as good as cash to me since I shop there regularly.) So it netted out to $37 for the Alta. I love the extra features and the feel of the band so far.
We also had an estate sale at my in-laws this past weekend as we've been cleaning out their house to sell since MIL passed away in Feb. It's been a lot of hard work, but the house looks great, we made a nice chunk of cash that we split with BIL, and I got two possible jobs organizing homes to ready for sale (I'm thinking of starting a professional organizing business and these would be my first actual non-related clients!)

My sophomore is making me happy. I love seeing him grow up and becoming an adult. This last weekend he competed in a programming competition (he and his partner got 3rd out of 17 teams), go to a 16th birthday party, work at two jobs, and write a report for his Eagle project. Today he is taking an AP test. I just love seeing him spread his wings.

My rheumatoid arthritis clinical trial ended last week. I've been on this clinical trial for 5years and, according to my MD, if I walked into his office today, he would never know that I had rheumatoid arthritis based on my labs and x-Ray tests. There are no signs of my disease and my x-rays from 3years ago are the same as the ones I did this past week. He had told me I was in remission 2years ago and again repeated that last week. The only thing that's got me a bit zzz is that I have to wait for my Rx to be authorized. I have great insurance and it's covered- I just have to wait for the preauthorization.

My new PT job offered me FT after only being there 3 weeks! I accepted. But now I need to tell my old PT job (which I really like) good bye. No hesitation going FT with the new job-way better pay plus extremely generous benefits! I am just going to miss my little dysfunctional group at the old job.
