Employable

So I did get offered the part-time job yesterday as well.  That was the one I wanted to take, just b/c I thought it would be a better fit for my current "situation".  D wasn't as big of a fan of that idea, as long-term it wouldn't make financial sense with me working part time and 3 kids in daycare.  We went round and round, and he finally agreed I needed to do what was best for me now, and we would tackle the future when the time comes.

So I called the VP (who would be my boss) of the full time job and told him that I was declining, as I just learned I was pregnant with twins and just didn't think I could do it. (there are only 2 HR staff there; I would be the manager).   I didn't receive the reaction I was expecting.  He kind of begged me to accept, even AFTER knowing about the pregnancy!  He said I was their clear choice.  So I said I wanted to work 4 days/week.  He said he will consider it if I can show that I can handle the workload that way.  So I accepted!   I am really glad to start somewhere and have them already know about the pregnancy. He thanked me for being upfront about that, as he admitted I did not owe them that.  So I guess that is one weight off my shoulders, although right now it still seems daunting to start anything new.

My cold has turned into a hell beast of a cold.  Do you guys have any experience with meds I can take besides benadryl?  I printed off a list from Webmd of pregnancy-safe cold and flu meds, and I headed to Target and Walgreens.  Not much on the list was in either store.  I don't think saline nose spray is really going to cut it!
