As I'm walking down the 8th grade hall during my planning period, do you know what I came across right in the middle of the floor in the hallway? A turd. A big, gross (and I am fairly certain, human) turd. This school is unreal sometimes.
Accordingly, I am drinking wine. I wish I had some sweet tea vodka though, now that it's been mentioned.
i'm SO FREAKING EXCITED about L's "big sister" room. it's currently painted orange (a nice orange, sort of spicy, not neon. anyway, i like it). orange is L's favorite color, but lately she's been asking for pink (now orange and brown and pink and purple are her favorite colors, except orange is her MOST favorite). her furniture is all white. i found pink and orange and white (with some spring green) fabric for a duvet (and then orange and white fabric for an accent), and then an orange and white rug, and then the cutest light fixture ever (right now there's a fan with pathetic, weak light). ikea even sells a kid-sized white rocking chair for her little reading nook.
Thanks dream, squirrely. H travels a lot, so I kind of get why he says that....cause he always misses her when he's gone. But he gets that time away. I need to push the issue, but I prob need to wait until she isn't a teething nightmare. I'm hoping (meaning I asked lol) for Mother's Day he gets me a massage. I might use that as an excuse to take a half day to myself. I love my h and he's a great dad....but I prob "help" or do more than I should. I need to get better about asking or sometimes insisting he take over. :/
tell him that. he really doesn't get it. especially if you "help" him a lot at home.
besides, even if you DO miss her, that doesn't mean a day and night to yourself to just be alone and do whatever isn't restorative.
I'm thinking about reviewing everything I do on Yelp. lol. Good and bad. Just like, "Oh, I went out to eat? Better write a Yelp review!" IDK, seems like a fun waste of time to me!

@misoangry, what's with that "obese" reference? You're insane!
vicky, I hope you're happily buzzing from GOOD wine by now.
I dread having to go into the office to work this weekend, but it's the only way I can get caught up--no phone calls; no interruptions (except reading gbcn threads). I do, however, plan to sleep in as long as the cats will allow.
My older daughter had her tonsils out last week and gets a dose of oxycodone every 4 hours. This afternoon I totally spaced out and gave it to the baby instead. The minute she had sucked it out of the syringe, I realized my mistake, freaked out, and had to bring her to the emergency room for monitoring. I felt like the worst. mom. ever.
She was basically okay, just got really spacey so that your normal "ga-ga" baby babble turned into "gaaaah? gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah???" But I think it's a testament to her nap-fighting super powers that she took a triple dose of a narcotic and EVEN THEN I could not get her to go to sleep.
I saw my OBGYN at Bed Bath and Beyond today and I totally panicked. I don't know why. She's so sweet and funny but when I saw her walking down the food storage aisle I turned around and got away as soon as possible. It was like when you were a kid and you ran into a teacher outside of school.

Facebook is pissing me off. A friend who lives 3 hrs away has to have foot surgery. Her dog needs IV fluids twice a week, plus there's the whole work/food/errands issue with her right foot needing to be in a boot. Several people who are FB friends with her, who also live several hours away have written messages about how they 'wished they lived closer' so they could help her out. I posted the same, but said 'another person chiming in with 'I wish I lived closer'. One of her friends called me out to say that it wasn't 'cool' that mutual friend knew she'd be there in a heartbeat if she could... So I responded that I was referring to myself... and she says it came across as 'catty' and that I shouldn't have used the word 'chiming'...? Huh?
Not sure why this one random chick in LA is getting under my skin so badly....
Oh, and I am finally rewatching the Hatfields & McCoys miniseries w/ H, and the part about "I am prepared to perform my duties as a wife, but I ask that you spill your seed outside my body" made me think of eddy. lol. ahh memories.. I remember laughing about and quoting that line when we first watched it. Back when I had a snuggly little newborn who just slept on my chest through the whole thing. (wilted)
Ugh this is all hitting a bit too close to home tonight. Okay not the seed spilling outside of me part. But I was in fact obsessed with that mini series. I watched it three times on my mat leave.
Tonight I have been working on the photo/video montage for my Leo. sniff sniff...my baby
I am stunned at how tiny he was. I can not believe I had a 5 lb baby. And it is all just really lovely. Not to toot my own horn but I am pretty good at this stuff. Looking back at all of our stuff we really do have a happy family. What a blessing.
I got super wasted on sweet tea vodka once. A girl made a 'drink' that was just the sweet tea vodka with some water in it. It was pretty tasty, though.
When I had my CT scan yesterday, I was nervous about he contrast dye through the IV. But I found the side-effect of being all warm inside quite pleasant.
I love this feeling, but the very first time I had it done I was POSITIVE I had wet my pants.

I've done the CT scan too.. it was interesting to say the least.
I always find it weird when people I hardly know but I went to school with add me on FB just so they can obviously stalk my profile lol. Most of the time I accept anyway, so I can stalk their profile too LOL.
