School starts tomorrow and this is the first year I am not insanely nervous. I'm still kind of nervous, because I haven't spoken in front of a group in a few months, but nothing like I've felt in the past (usually I feel major doubt that I will be able to do it again after a long break lol)
Yesterday I played frisbee in the rain. It was awesome, because I made a cool catch that I had to slide for, which looked way more amazing than it actually was.
Spending the afternoon with my H's dad's family. Preparing myself for the onslaught of "are you knocked up yet?!" "You need need get knocked up to please God" and "have you been to 'real' church recently??"
I have to teach Sunday school today and the priest called me last night and said, "Oh, we're having visitors from another parish so you'll probably have double the number of kids."
Yay. I'm going to have "class" outside and the lesson will be "God Loves Sidewalk Chalk Drawings and Soap Bubbles".

I think you should have a couple of pre-lunch cocktails.

I need something stronger than booze to deal with them. Maybe an anesthetic drug would help lol.
I'm just sitting on the coach watching BB after dark with my dog, waiting for H to get up. Then I will go for a walk, get a tea, and do something with H
My husband just left to drive back to where he is living after surprising me for my birthday. I am so happy he came (and really surprised as it is about a 2,000 mile round trip) but now I just want to be mopey for the rest of the day. Plus his birthday is next week, what do I do that compares with a surprise visit!
I've been having trouble falling asleep. To top it off, DD cried off & on all night. I'm still sleepy. As much as I don't want to, we need to clean out our closet, the garage & the flower bed. Lol. Wonder how much we'll get done today?
I'm kind of annoyed that I have had to get up with DS both mornings this weekend while H sleeps. I should have shoved him awake and starfished the bed. At least this way, I get a long, guilt free nap this afternoon.
My BIL and SIL will be here next weekend, and I am so excited for them to meet Malcolm! Facetime isn't anything like the real thing.

Perfectly timed, I was able to sell my engagement ring last night (for a great price!) so now I won't have to borrow money from my parents to pay for school this semester.

Ohhhh. Anything juicy ? I haven't read my Morty spoilers yet. Can't wait to see the episode tonight!
They have done POV, but I don't want to say who got in on here because I might ruin it for someone else. Should be an interesting week, that's for sure!

I just got back from a three day work event in Denver last night, and I'm trying really hard to rev myself up for a scheduled 15-mile run this morning. My revving skills need some work, because I'm still on the couch, GBCNing...

I'm working. Again. I think this is the last weekend I'm going to put in overtime for awhile because I am exhausted.
I drank Friday night and last night. Haven't done that in a long time and I am feeling it today. Wish that I could stay home and veg all day but I have my SIL's bridal shower today.
I've had so much fun with H, the girls and friends this weekend I don't want to go back to work tomorrow.
It's a gorgeous day today and since I was a hermit yesterday and never left the house, I'm making sure to do something today. I think we'll take Rox out on the bike trail for a long walk and we might hit up a baseball game.
The annoying neighbors have a huge ass tent in their front yard, along with a bunch of other crap. I think the kids slept the night in it or something because I could hear them outside until well past midnight last night. I think it's odd they didn't do this in their fenced-in backyard instead. I just hope they clean it all up by tonight, so it doesn't look crappy for days.

I was going to do nothing today, but just as my H was leaving he spilled a full cup of tea on the carpet and on our DS thank The Lord the tea had gone cold. Of corse this happens when my H has to be somewhere. So looks like I am cleaning carpets today.
I've been bawling all morning. MY mom really hurt my feelings this morning and I guess I must have hurt hers to make her say something so ugly. I tried to call back and she's refusing to answer the phone.
I hate this. We don't have a good relationship as it is so anytime we fight it brings up horrible memories for me of when we didn't speak at all. I hate this. I wish that she would just answer the fucking phone.

what did you each say, and in what order? I'd let her be for now; blowing up the phone is not useful for you. ((hugs))
I said "good morning momma how was your weekend with "her friend"
Her: Good
Me: "My Sister" says you guys went halloween shopping - I wish you would have waited to go with me (it's a family tradition to go and get halloween decorations together - halloween is a big deal in my family)
Her: Well you better get used to it.
Me: What do you mean?
Her: You're not going to be a part of these things anymore since you're moving away.
Me: That really hurt my feelings - there's no need for you to be ugly about it.
Her: I'm just telling the truth.
Me: I really need to go because I'm too upset to talk - have a nice day.

Also - just to give you a little perspective on our relationship.
When I Excitedly told her we were moving and told her about the new house her response was - "You're going to be miserable out there. I moved away from my mother and I was miserable - it's best you stay home."
I also moved out when I was 15 because they kicked me out and I didn't speak to anyone in the family for five years. So... being left out of family stuff is sort of a sore subject for me. It's hard because I still don't feel like I'm part of the family in a lot of ways.
