DSs crib arrived yesterday. I'm sick of cosleeping, I reeeeealllly hope he will sleep in the crib this weekend so I can sleep on my stomach, surround myself in pillows and stuff.
Signed up to volunteer for a dance party after school in the gym. 22 kids k-5. I'm not looking forward to it at all.
Elementary school dance? Will anyone be dancing or will they all be huddled in tight groups of 5 whispering and pointing
This sounds endearing to me, but actually champeroning it propbably isn't as cute as I'm making it out to be
Dance party. Not like a dance, dance. We are going to teach them the Cupid Shuffle, Cha Cha Slide etc. and then they can dance around the gym like a bunch of hooligans.
annie, i wish i could hug you AGAIN. and i know you don't like hugs. i'm sure you'll find a way through this. perhaps you can ask your current therapist to recommend a grief specialist?
I thought we were making progress with Elliot when he took a bite of chicken.
Then he made himself throw up eeeeeeverywhere and I'm back to thinking that maybe we should just feed him from a giant bucket of honey nut cheerios, like kid kibble. Sigh.
I really need to get my hair cut. I keep a short bob and I grew it out a bit during pregnancy and I'm hating the length. I want my sassy bob back.
But I'm not ready to leave DD for two hours. I would maybe leave her with my mom, but I wouldn't leave both kids with DH right now. I'm sure he could handle it just fine, but I think a 3 week old needs to be with a mother of some type. That's more flameful than it is random.
DS's birthday party is next weekend and I'm so excited for him. He needs a day where he gets allllll the undivided attention. He gets very little since dd arrived. Plus, he is gonna freak over all the cool decor I got him. Life size Spider-Man for the win!!

-My brother called me and cussed me out about the fight he, my mom and my sister are having. I'm the neutral one in my family so people come to me. I finally cussed him out for the first time and he got pissed and me and basically told me forget the 3 of us and hung up. Fcuk him. I'm tired of it all. I was driving to work when this all happened and I was in tears and shaking. I'm in freakin' GA and they are all in VA. Get me out of this mess!
I think I am ready for a short a sassy haircut. I saw someone with this cut recently and fell in love. Thoughts? I have nice cheekbones and and structure in my face that I think I could pull it off. My hair is dark like hers as well. I would not make a modified duck face if I had my hair cut like this though.

I'm having major anxiety today. FI decided he wants to go back to school to be a nurse because he hates his job. Fine. But there's only one school in the state that has a part-time program. And it's $50,000 over four years with no financial aid. The thought of taking on that much debt scares the shit out of me. He has a tendency of starting something and then not finishing. And he complains about his job constantly but hasn't even looked for something else. He's had fifteen years to go back to school, why does he want to do it now? I feel like this is just his anxiety over getting married and having kids. I'm flipping out at my desk. If he does this, it means no house for us, no vacations, and it means I can't go part-time when we have kids. Am I being a selfish bitch?
How about an ADN program at a technical/community college? He can become an RN in ~18-24 months, possibly even part-time. It'll cost you under $10k, and he could likely get his future employers to pay for him to get a BSN.
My hair is fine too. But I wear sideswiped bangs and they work usually. I am going in to get my eyebrows waxed and will talk to my hairdresser if she thinks it would work. I am excited. I used to always have shorter hair and it always looked good on me. My husband has been hinting that I should get a "short and fun haircut" again. Finally I found something that is fun and not a mom cut lol. My biggest fear is accidently getting a mom cut.
i'm getting my hair cut tomorrow. i kind of want to get the "cjoy." but i think my neck is too short, and the bottoms will brush my shoulders in such a way that it will instead become the "donna reed."
LOL Q I already told my husband that I couldn't do my usual 8 weeks between haircuts anymore. I have no problem styling it everyday. I don't have pretty enough hair even when it is long to avoid that. Plus this will take less time to style than my current hair.
The girl I randomly saw had a defined part so it didn't look so twee little boy. But I like the way the haircut is structured.
LHC: keep your eye on Pinterest, for real. The sekrit hideowt is happening.
EDDY: word to wise, that cut needs to be done everyday and trimmed every 3-5 weeks to avoid looking like a Mom cut. I totally think you can pull it off though, if you want to maintain it!
IMBACK: enough with Hawaii already. Are you pissed that you weren't invited or that you any afford to go? Why don't you just go?
What do you mean? I can't find anything on Pinterest.
i think she's saying you will find something on pinterest very soon.
ETA: and also, wtf, that's totally creepy to copy you like that. and she'd better not EVEN twy sentwa and pretend her kid wrote it.
I hate everything today. My kid is sick all the time, my work is suffering, my H is so stressed out with his job that it's spilling over into our personal lives. Omg, I just want to be left alone for one day.

My husband's family is being put through the ringer lately. A couple of weeks ago a cousin of his dad last her 14 month old to SIDS and earlier this week H's cousin was hit by a car. He was biking with his wife in a park and was hit by a van and then DRAGGED onto the freeway. The whole thing makes me sick. He lost his foot and broke basically every bone in his body. They still haven't found the guy that hit him. I just wish we knew them better so we could do something for them. My brother lost his leg when he was hit by a car so I feel for them and understand a little of what they're going through.
On a different note, DD is at the babysitter's this morning. We're trying it out to make sure it's a good fit before I start school so I get 4 hours of uninterrupted time to do whatever I want. I'm still not sure what I'm going to do this morning.

I have more. I'm watching the episode of I Love Lucy with Bob Hope and I love it. It's one of my favorites.
There is a family on my FB that is literally sick all.the.time. I'm not exaggerating when I say that every other day she is posting about some illness they are dealing with. This isn't just because of flu season either, this has been going on for a good year. How are people really sick THAT often.
One of the RE girls in the March madness thread is using a photo that's an exact copy of the picture I used last year in the same contest of KHC. Which is both hilarious and wtf.
I'm already annoyed with my new bank. Which I shouldn't be because it's really my own fault. I just switched banks--I maintained an account at a local credit union in my old state for the past several years and finally decided that it was time to switch to one that is more accessible to me here. Direct Deposit takes one full pay cycle to become effective when you change accounts, so my most recent paycheck was a live check which I got last Friday. I took it to the new bank to deposit through the ATM. My account is less then 30 days old so I'm restricted from depositing through the ATM. Ok, fine. The branch was already closed, so the next morning I got up and walked to the branch to deposit my check. Again, my account is less than 30 days old so I'm not allowed cash back on my deposit, it has to clear first. It wasn't THAT big of a deal, more of an annoyance than anything, so I just deposited the entire thing. Well now it's been a week since I got paid and my money is still on hold at the bank. They hold it for 5 business days. The teller never told me this, but I looked it up and it's totally in the fine print that I didn't read. It's definitely my fault, so I'm mostly annoyed with myself, but I'm indirectly annoyed with the bank too. If I had known it was going to be this big of a deal, I would've gone to the bank where my check was drawn on and cashed it then just deposit the cash into my account. It'll be early next week before I get access to the funds, just in time for me to get paid again (by direct deposit, thankfully).
Fortunately, I still have money in my old account, but I just want the rest of my money already. Grrrr.
