Ants are driving me crazy! Every year at this time we get a bunch of ants invading our apartment and then a few weeks later they're gone.I LIKE bugs, but not a damn army of them in my place.
Tropical storm Andrea can suck it. We're heading to the lake this afternoon and it is raining cats and dogs here. Fuck that. I don't care how bad it is, I'm getting my happy ass out of town to get my drink on.
Daycare was closed today and my mom came to pick up Hart this morning (she's watching him for the weekend). Her plan was to hang out at our house while her cleaning lady is at her place before she takes Hart back with her. But, with the rain, H didn't have to go into work. So now he and my mom are hanging out together. I know that's just how he wanted to start his morning, lol
I stayed up until 2 am reading, printing, and copying all the emails since February about this sale that fell through for our new house. 700+ pages of emails, 9 pages of a timeline. The reps on the sellers side delayed 4 times.
I am going to get my freaking deposit back. >:-|

My hairdresser fucked up last night and now I am PRAYING she can get me in to fix it. She cut my bangs way to short so that can't be fixed. But the rest is salvageable. I need to be less chatty and fun with her so she can concentrate lol. We have family pictures on Sunday and I am all janky about my hair now. I am way too vain for my own good.

I've lost 11 lbs since I started using MFP, and people at work are starting to notice. :-) I have erupted into a secret little dance (in my soul) every time somebody says it. BF has been very sweet about it too. I feel really good.
Beagle (it won't let me tag you) - those GIFs are cracking me up!
A shooting victim was dropped off at the ER of a local hospital. In the comments section of the story a user posted this:
"Another that I'm betting has no insurance so the rest of us will bare the burden of sewing them up. Hospitals should start locking the door and only letting them in after they show an insurance card. The rest of us don't get all this free treatment so why should all these thugs. It'd be no great loss to society if they let 'em all die at the door."
That seriously almost made my cry. What has happened to compassion and humanity? I'm frustrated by people who abuse the system but shouldn't we watch out for one another? Aren't we supposed to care what happens to others?

R and I had an argument last night. I'm fucking hormonal and bitchy and I really have no clue what I'm mad about, but I'm mad! My mom told me yesterday that my sister is getting a divorce. they've been hiding it from me for over a month. Im pregnant not freaking 5, i can handle it. It's my birthday and it sucks being pregnant because I can't drink Woe is me.
We are trying to sell our house right now and I am getting so frustrated. We have been getting a lot of showings but everyone says the price is too high. We already reduced it by $30K (we knew we were too high to begin with).
We can't afford to lose money to leave (we already can't afford it, which is why we are trying to sell).
This market fucking blows.
And everyone's feedback is "the living room is too small". Yes, we know that fuckers!!! (I realize they have every right to say/think that but it is SO frustrating!!!)

Some people are so incredibly fortunate that they don't realize how quickly health insurance can become an unaffordable luxury to a family. It always amazes me, the distinct lack of perspective of some people who truly think that the poor are the poor because they are lazy, stupid, etc.
My bestie was in front of me in the McDonald's drive through and paid for my diet coke, I didn't even pay attention enough to know it was her! So nice.
I need work to be over asap. If the following is any indication... Lord beer me strength.
Coworker's dad died this week. She had to fly out of state to say goodbye and is there for the funeral, etc. Manager walks up this morning and says, "So, how's Coworker doing?" IDK. "Well, how is she feeling?" IDK. I haven't been in contact since her dad just fucking died. I imagine she's doing pretty fucking terrible, but I can call and confirm if you'd like.
My boss is 30-45 minutes late for work every single day. I was shocked when I came in this morning and she was already here. I smiled and said good morning, but I hope I was able to hide the surprised look on my face.
Ds is still in the hospital. They don't "anticipate him going home today" ugh. I am going to miss my foam run 5k thing tomorrow morning. I'm ok with that I haven't been able to do any training/running for a couple of weeks and I've been sleeping in the chair pullout thing since Monday. I'm going to the NKOTB concert tomorrow night though, my bff's cousin got the tickets from her ticket guy. She's not sure where the seats are but they are always 1st or 2nd row!! I really really want a drink.

Thank you!
And a lot of this hate really does just stem from perspective.
I'm not kidding myself, I grew up middle class, we never went without. But in my early 20s when I was uninsured and scrapping together money to get my $180 prescription and then giving up and forcing my body to deal with the withdraws and going without...I promised myself I wouldn't forget what that was like.
The incredibly obtuse assumptions and labeling that comes with that is infuriating.
And, wrt the online comments, I think it is really easy to forget your compassion when you're a faceless online commentator

Hazel has been sick all week with a viral infection. I had to stay home with Adele last week on Friday b/c she was sick and then this week, had to use 2 PTO days with Hazel.
I will only have about 5 days of PTO left. The only days I've used for fun this year was a scrapbooking day (shut up) and to drive up to U of I for the 1/2 marathong (which I ended up driving up to Chicago for a visitation for my uncle that passed away).
15 days of PTO and when the year is all said and done, 4 of them will be used for ACTUAL vacation time.
Ugh, I hate sick kids and staying home always defaulting to me.
I want a cupcake. My sil brought some amazing cupcakes here the other day, they have different favors everyday. One that she brought was chocolate chip cookie dough. The cupcake tasted just like a chocolates chip cookie bar and the frosting tasted just like cookie dough! One they have today is blueberry lavender with a lemon cream cheese frosting ! They also ave chocolate salted caramel, merry margarita, and sopapilla. Plus more but I want them all!
I have been thinking a lot about getting/being PG again.
Even had a dream about it last night.
Good? Bad? Trying?
I'm just now starting to consider baby2 as anything but HELL NO. As unlikely as it seems, I'm starting to forget just how hard the last year has been. Andy will be a year old in a month.
My internal debate is, do I wait until the suck is over and give myself a nice break in between kids, or stack it together and get the suck over all at once?

I have been really tired this week and I can't put my finger on why. I just feel drained.
Tomorrow is summer work day at DD's school, she'll get to see some friends and I'll satisfy one part of my volunteer requirement. I just have to reschedule my salon appointment
oh also how is it that my mustache sneaks up on me? I wax, la la la all is fine and then BAM its back, usually at the beginning of a long day when I've got like 15 hours until I can wax it off again.
