Just a friendly PSA- when friends offer to buy you shots, make sure they are complimentary. I had an amaretto/butterscotch thingy that was too sweet and then a pickle shot that was absolutely delicious but not after the butterscotch.
I had my first total mess of pregnancy hormones this morning. I checked my work email to get an unhelpful response from my principal regarding the fact that we do not have enough textbooks for the students this year. He was basically all "not my problem" about it and it pissed me off.
I bawled in bed for 20 minutes.
I mean, I'm pissed about it.. but the crying? The crying and carrying on was total pregnancy insanity.
Thankfully, I'm back to my pissed off and looking for a solution self now.
Nope! The ladies of Married Life came through for me! My English classes are totally set.
It's the fact that we are also short history textbooks (at $100 a pop) that is the issue now. I'm checking with the other middle school to see if there are extras and then I'll look into begging our PTO. Failing that, I'll have to go to in-class only book assignments and do homework assignments that don't involve the book. Definitely not ideal, but I'm going to make it work SOMEHOW!
I'm glad ml came through.
I can't believe a shortage of books is a problem. I'm sorry. I hope you find some extra.
Well you're not a part of the family. Not the way you want to be, and there's no going back in time and making you part of the family the way you should have been/wanted to be/now want to be. You keep wanting her to be what you want her to be, and it's not going to happen; your expectations are not realistic. She threw you out when you were fifteen, why would she be caring or supportive of you in other ventures in your life?
What do you think talking to her right now would accomplish for you? You're going to explain how upsetting her remarks were, and she's going to say "omg! I had no idea I was being so uncaring and thoughtless; what can I do to make it up to you!!? I love you; let's heal this relationship!" How l ikely is that? it's like you're still fifteen, and still pounding on the locked front door screaming LET ME IN. She's not going to let you in.
She threw you out when you were fifteen; were you a troublesome kid, or a good kid she was sick of caring for?
I agree with all of this SueSue. I just wish it would stop hurting. I'm in therapy and working on it and normally I'd let this slide off of my shoulders but today I just couldn't.
I was a good kid. Straight A student. Never got in trouble until I snuck out one night at 15 to hang out with my friends. I was told that since I couldn't follow their rules I had to get out. That was it. I assume they thought maybe I'd come back but I stuck it out on my own and never did.
It's just hard to admit she's not going to let me in. I wish it didn't make me feel so awful still after all of these years.
I'm irritated that we spent so much money last night on going out and a sitter. I would have had more fun hanging on our back porch. I guess I don't really like going out as much as I used to. We put the kids to bed before we left so the sitter made the easiest $60 she's ever made at our house. lol.
I guess maybe it had to do with who we went out with? My friend's friend and her dh joined us and she was just insufferable. Bragging about how she shops for her four kids at online boutiques and spent $400 on each. Her husband was just shaking his head at all the money she spends. Also, she was taking selfies the whole night. 36 years old and spent the majority of the night taking pictures of herself and on her phone.

It's amazing to me that the school isn't doing more to provide textbooks.

I woke up to ants all over my kitchen. I am not a happy person. I deep cleaned everything and we still can't find where they are coming in. FI sprayed all over the outside and he didn't find a trail.
I was going to walk and make breakfast and now I'm not going to do crap.

I don't want the cooler weather to go away. Summer makes me super grumpy.
I also hate that I am awake already. Lol. Trying to enjoy it as long as I can as an adult. Usually FI is on dog duty so I can sleep. But since he proposed yesterday I figured I would do something nice. Because I love him and stuff.
I. Want. To. Die. I met a friend I haven't seen in 8 years yesterday for lunch. Lunch turned into a tour of the area, which turned into 7 hours of drinking. I woke up at 5:30 am to run a 20k. Worst race ever and now I really just want to die.
I had a fusion with instrumentation at the L5/S1 June of 2012.
I'm going to lie...it sucked. I'm 100%recovered now. I should have done this years ago
I think it is a surgery where a rod is put in b/c of bad discs??
My dad was supposed to have that. Instead, he had L4 and L5 fused together, then he had to have screws in his back like dovey has and that failed so he had his nerves burned. Now he's hoping that losing weight will help it.
We were going to go to a baseball game but it looks like its going to be rained out. I need to get these toddlers out of the house before we all lose our minds. In the meantime, we're watching Disney Jr.

I am about 10 minutes into the first episode of Catfish and I'm already like "Seriously, you didn't know this person was yanking your chain??" He's a model, doing online classes to be an anesthesiologist and writes cue cards for Chelsea Lately and also had all three of his sisters killed in a car crash. Oooookay.

Yeah that show is way too set up for me, which is saying a lot, because I am a reality show junkie.
