I'm determined to post more. I've been lurking FOR.EV.ER and posting sporadically. I promise to always send a tracking number, I'll let you talk to my sister, and I don't run.
I'm irrationally annoyed by people on IG today, people I don't know, mainly some girl who commented on my SIL's picture.
Niece is starting Catholic school next week. Bro and SIL really can't afford it, but thanks to a scholarship they will be fine. Catholic school isn't my thing because I'm not Catholic but I know it's a good school and I'm glad that niece isn't going to the public school that she would be assigned to.
I hate that people are trying to make SIL feel guilty about sending niece to private school. Every time is has been mentioned on FB or IG at least one person comments something along the lines of "Oh man I really wish I could send my kids there, but we just can't afford it" or "wow Catholic school - so much $$"
It's just awkward because my SIL is basically "yeah we got the opportunity and we couldn't pass it up, we hope it works out"
i was on a MISSION to redeem myself this morning at daycare. i got there on time for breakfast. i was cheerful and didn't cry AT ALL. i managed an efficient and friendly drop off.
J watched the RHOC reunion with me and tweeted Gretchen. She retweeted him. Lol.
haha! I tweeted Sonja from RHNYC and she messaged me back about how I didn't have the facts right about her bankruptcy - she is paying it back... she can still afford the 10,000 shoes she bought that week. (this was years ago)
It is so peaceful in my house right now. Babies are sleeping, the windows are open and I can hear birds, and I'm drinking coffee. I'd like to freeze this moment for a few hours.

OMG- why would she feel the need to justify herself to some stranger? Lol!

I'm about to have my first moment as a helicopter parent.
New rooms started yesterday at daycare and all of Henry's friends that he's been with since he was four months old, including his BFF, got moved to the next room and he got left behind with a group of younger children. They have moved rooms four times before and always been kept together without any of the parents asking. The cutoff to me - that the rest of the kids were born in Feb 11 or earlier - seems totally arbitrary, since H was born in March. So I'm complaining. My mom says he's 2.5. If I can't advocate for him now, when I can I?
Came home after work last night to discover that M has a huge sliver in her palm. It's like 1/2 inch. She won't let us use a tweezer to pull it out. So we are trying the baking soda approach. It's stressing me out.
Our weather stinks. I wanted hot sticky weather. We got that for 2 weeks this whole summer. that's it. I wanted to go to the pool at least once. I feel like the summer was a waste. boo.
This is more of a vent than a random. My school decided last minute who was teaching technical writing. OK, cool. Well, she posted a required book list at the last minute too. Apparently, none of our school bookstores have it, because they hadn't had time to order it in. Guys, this is part of what our financial aid is for. Throwing 400$+ worth of books at us a week from school start, that we can't get unless we buy completely outside of school, is kind of a dick move.
I know, I know. I'm being whiny. Damn it though, I don't have 400$ spare dollars to throw at last minute books.
Random: I'm taking the bus today and I'm kind of excited about it. Always an adventure.
I have to rearrange 3 storage rooms today so that I can move a shit ton of boxes out of the break room into our locked storage room. I don't want to.
I'm so sleepy. H dvr'ed a Hell on Wheels marathon on Saturday and we were up entirely too late trying to get caught up before the new episode airs this Saturday.
I'm still trying to find a photographer that won't charge out my ass to take K's one year pictures. And on that note, OMG, my baby will be one next week!
I drank too much last night and now I feel like shit. Definitely can't drink like I used to. Omg.
I learned that lessons couple weeks ago. It was brutal.
My random... I made a friend yesterday at the health food store. We had both just left the same pediatrician and she started asking me questions about breastfeeding and baby weight gain. Her baby is having a lot of problems gaining weight (still lower than birth weight at 4 weeks). I ended up talking to her for about 30 minutes, gave her a hug and told her she was doing a great job. And no matter how she ends up feeding her baby, it is OK. Now we are FB friends and having lunch next week. Yay for new friends!
I really can't wait until we get my office situation worked out. My coworker's music is getting on my nerves, and his running commentary about how drinking black, rocket-fuel coffee is somehow something to be proud of is grating on me today. Oh good, you can guzzle something down that's bitter-as-all-get-out and I can't. It makes you such a man.
Ugh, that's the worst. My exH used to be that guy. If you don't do or like whatever over-the-top thing he INSISTED you must enjoy or else you fail at life.
You were married before? I thought you were just in a long term relationship but not actually married.

Hugs to Vicky and Calamity I also have a dentist appointment today. It's only 11:30 and I think I may be pretty much done for the day. I'm only going to make it longer for myself, but Im not feeling ambitious today.

I'm sitting here on the couch just now and I see a shadow in the window. It's the neighbor kid. Apparently she is playing with DD outside and they are playing hide and seek. She hid in the bushes and just scared the fuck out of me.
It was 5 minutes ago and my heart is still pounding.
