I don't see a randoms thread.

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

Mine is going to not be a random so much, but a college-is-about-to-start randoms.

1.  I have located all of my books on Amazon, and am SUPER pleased about the cost.  Why didn't I buy my books online last time I was in school?  So dum.  BUT, I took an art class, and I need to buy a $70 art kit, and a $30 PASSWORD.  WTF.  WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY $30 FOR A FUCKING CODE FOR A CLASS I'M ALREADY PAYING TO TAKE.  When I get my password, I'm typing in WTF instead of the actual code just to feel better about it.
2.  I have discovered that they sell leather cases for tablets that have built-in keyboards, which tickles me.
3.  I can't believe I am going to be in school/training for the next decade in order to get this shit set.  WTF.
4.  It has been brought to my attention by a reputable source (my therapist) that if I go work for Children and Youth, which I have been very vocal about being my SWORN ENEMY, they will pay for me to go to grad school.  I fucking hate those guys.  It would kill me slowly inside to work for them.  BUT, it would probably do me a lot of professional good to go and get some experience on that side, and learn how the system works.  And listen, at this point, I would work at McDonalds if they would pay for grad school.

Actual, yet still not really, random:
Today one of the kids was playing beside my client, who was playing by me, and he reached over and absentmindedly honked my boob without even looking over and then went back to playing.  WTF.  THEY'RE NOT STRESS BALLS, PLEASE REFER TO THE OCCUPATIONAL THERAPIST FOR THAT SHIT.

I use bookrenter.com for my books. I rent mine and the most I've ever paid yet is $50 for a book. Last semester it cost me a whopping $60 for all my books.

I had to pay a stupid $30 password fee for my math class, that sucked.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

An art class you say??? Would that you knew anyone who could help you with that...

[ProfessorArtNerd]

No seriously is it for myartslab? PM me

L got a nose bleed in the back of the car today. I didn't know until I went to get here out of her car seat and she was covered in blood. Poor baby I felt so bad that I totally spoiled her at Target. Strawberry milk, Abby Cadabby tea set and an Elmo book!

[Ohhmm(bligo)]

I like to buy my books! At least the ones for my major. I do refer to them a lot (at least, I have with my early childhood books, and have always been glad I kept them). I am considering renting the books for my other classes, like my Deaf Cultures class.

IDAHKNAH, ProfessorArtNerd. Lemme look.

I took my dog for a walk tonight.
I have a pug who walks pretty slow, and I usually walk pretty fast for a short gal. Due to being pregnant and having back problems, my PUG walked like 5 feet in front of me the entire time and kept looking back like "what the fuck are you doing lady?". I tried my hardest to catch up to her and then had a back spasm and a 6 year old boy asked me if I was okay, lol. That was sweet of him. I am embarrassed

[margotmacomber]

I am anxiously awaiting tonight's challenge (MTV).  There is never enough CT.

I am eating Chinese food for the second time in the last 3 days. I love Chinese food. It always makes my day better.

yes!  "today is wednesday mommy.  so tomorrow is thursday, right?  and then it will be friday?"  months however, she couldn't care less about.  i thought she'd be curious about them too (since it's all time), but nope.  whatevs.  who cares if it's july?  "that's a weird word, mommy."

my expectations are clearly not on par with her interests, since i'd just hoped she'd know left/right by the time she was driving.  maybe i should read a book about preschool developmental milestones or something.

for mine, it's how to say things in other languages. Mom, how do you say ----- in Japan? In Kenya? In France? It comes from a song she learned at preschool.

Except I accidentally made a lame ass joke about Philadelphia accents (it's an auditory one, you'll just have to gtg with me to hear it). And now she thinks we speak a different language than her cousins in New Jersey. Damn.

I didn't truly learn my left from my right until marching band.  My kid is miles ahead of me.

I have never seen anyone with such weird nostrils as Judd Nelson.

I'm always thinking that one day, @imback is going to post dh's band or one that one of his friends is in. Not sure why. Lol

[litebright]

DH is on his way back from the airport. I am squeezing in one last chick-TV/movie (watching Beautiful Creatures). Last night I watched the first episode of the Vampire Diaries because I couldn't get the first season of True Blood on-demand.

I love watching trashy TV when he's gone.

I was having a conversation with one of my friends who is an outfitter for a fancy "glamping" company.

His customers asked him if he could "turn down the sound of the river at night, it's just too loud for them to get to sleep"

He replied that he was sorry, but it wasn't possible.

They were mad.

I can't wrap my head around this.

That river sounds plenty loud enough to drown someone in.

My 4-year old has been begging me to make brownies for the past few days. But I've been holding off cause it is too dang hot to have on the oven during the day.

Finally, this morning, I caved and made a couple batches of brownies (one batch more cakey and one more fudgey). The kitchen was hot, I was hot, everything was hot. But after they cooled down and I took one bite, I was like "ohhhh, you dear sweet, intelligent little girl, you."

So yeah, brownies are definitely worth it, summertime or not. (For dessert tonight, I topped them with strawberries and vanilla ice cream. Soooo good).

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I'm going to polka's house!

Listen. This is mushy, but I have to put this somewhere.

I freaking love my kids. I remember when I was pregnant and I would stare at ds while he slept worrying that I would fail him in some way because I just couldn't believe that I could love both my kids this much simultaneously. And then dd was born and I just... Omg.

I have fallen in love with ds more now that she is here. I know he is just four, but the love and affection he gives dd blows me away. He is so protective over her. He tells at people to wash their hands when they go to touch her. When other kids get near her he rushes over to tell them to be careful. One time a little boy got down on the ground to touch dd when she was on her play mat at a party and ds literally hovered over her yelling at the kid to get away. He is so patient with her, reads to her and now that she is sitting he gets out lots of toys to show her how to play with them. He runs to her crib first thing in the morning. When we are walking with the stroller he carefully pulls the sun shade so that the sun is off of her.

Sunday we took ds on a special play date with just me and dh - played laser tag and go karts, took him for ice cream. When we were driving to get dd from my inlaws we asked him if he had fun. He said yes - but that he missed his sister.

Y'all, I am so impressed with the little man he is. I know that one day he will be whining that she is following him around, but after watching him come to love her these past 6 months, I know that deep down he will always care for her this deeply. His actions with her have brought me to tears multiple times. Not once has he said anything negative about her. Not once.

And if he is within arms reach - she grabs for him - she prefers him over me. Lol.

Worlds. Longest. Random.

I think it's because I've been staring at a baby face all day long, but I just read books with KHC at bedtime and grabbed his face and was like LET ME LOOK AT YOU, WHEN THE HELL DID YOU GET SO OLD LOOKING??

Yes. When I had dd it was like ds was so much more grown up immediately.

I posted a few weeks ago that I'm kicking ass at work and instead of promoting me or giving me a raise they are going to break up my work to make it "more fair" (RAGE).

I did about $250,000 worth of work today. That's more than my team does in a month sometimes.
