Sigh, turned down another one

This one has me kicking myself because i think made a mistake. It was a call for a 6 month old biracial baby girl who was removed from her birthmom due to mom's drug use, and placed with relatives who aren't able to care for her, so she's coming into foster care.

i called Alan first, then called the daycare i had set up for the toddlers, but they don't have any infant openings until September. Since i used all my vacation time with the toddlers, i had to turn it down. i could have taken FMLA, but i don't want to push it at this point (what if i need it for other reasons later? Like other kids, this one getting sick, or IVF being successful...). Plus i already had one unpaid day off this month.

What i didn't realize until later is that it's the last day of the month. Making tomorrow the first day of the month. Which means as of tomorrow, i have a full vacation day because i had a fraction left over before. Now, whether i could have found daycare for an infant in only one day is questionable, perhaps even laughable, so it still may have been the best thing. But i could perhaps have worked it out, meaning right now i wish i hadn't said no.

The only good news is i'm within 5.5 pounds of my weight loss goal. Well, the "i have to weigh less than this much to do IVF" goal. i still have a LONG way to go to be beautiful, or even healthy. But anyway... that's exciting. i think i can call and set up a consult at the clinic now as it's hopefully a good bet that by the 3-4 weeks it will take to get us an appointment, i will have the rest off, plus perhaps the buffer for the difference in doctor's office scales and such.

The funny part of it is that i set my Wii Fit goal up wrong last week. i usually set them up for 5 pounds weight loss every 2 weeks. Last week i (ugh) didn't make my goal. So i had to set up a new one. And apparently i set it up wrong and set it up as 5 pounds weight GAIN in 2 weeks. So now every time i get on the scale it says "You have 7.5 pounds to gain before your goal," "You have 8.5 pounds to gain before your goal," etc. Cracks me up!

Well, i'd better go work out so i'm not tempted to wallow in my stupidity.
