We're dog sitting for my ILs for two and a half weeks. I love dogs, but this dog has never been trained. She's five and just goes to the bathroom whenever she wants and barks until she gets what she wants. That's what they've always done for her. One night down, fifteen to go. I'm very tempted to spend a night at my parents'. lol

My H forgot his cellphone on the computer table this morning. I know he is freaking out right now.
Also, you all are awesome. After talking with you all, my bosses, and my H, I feel a lot better. I can't believe I let that exam break me yesterday. My boss told me yesterday, as long as I'm working at his firm, he is not going to let me give up on that exam. I'm going to try going about it differently for the next exam and stop psyching myself out.

I'm glad you feel better about it! Do you have to do the whole thing again or can you just do the multiple choice section?

I'm having kind of an issue with H. And it's a hard one to work out.
He works from home, so he doesn't get out or see other people all day. Two of his close friends have moved away in the last few months.
He's kind of gone into hermit mode. Which means we only go out with friends when I arrange it. And it means I never have alone time because anytime I'm off work he wants to hang out (and is available since he works from home and sets his own schedule).
Also, I feel like he takes all of his frustrations out on me since he doesn't have anyone else to vent to. I feel like I need to say/do something, but it's such a sensitive subject that I never do.
I have less than 2 weeks to figure out costumes for the kids. They're no help.
I'm having a lot of cramping that I think is from my Mirena. I'm scared to get it out though, b/c we don't have maternity coverage on our insurance and I'm terrified of an oops. It also might be a cyst or something. Who knows. Guess it's Dr time.
H is going to Austin on Sunday for 4 days...I'm dreading bedtimes on my own. We usually tag team the little monsters!
For some reason I thought you were trying for #3. I hope your cramping stops.
My random: I am going to spend today baking cupcakes for my girls little birthday get-together tomorrow. I love baking

I have to do the whole thing again in 6 months. Boo! At least I will get practice on exam #3 next month.
I'm back in the hospital this morning getting more estrogen. I have no idea what is happening to my body. I was having timeable contractions last night for 3 or 4 hours. I mean. My lady junk would tighten up for a minute every 8 to 10 minutes. I felt it in my rectum!
I dropped off a leather coat at the dry cleaners on Sept 28th to be dry cleaned and a pocket rip repaired. It was to be ready Oct 2nd. I got sick with pneunomia and then went to disney so I went to pick it up last night (Oct 17th) Girl can't find the coat and she calls her manager. She comes back and says that the manager tried to call us bc both pockets are ripped and she wasn't sure if I wanted both fixed or just the one. I have no record of her calling, nor does my husband. They haven't repaired the ONE pocket I for sure wanted done nor did they dry clean the coat.
So now girl says "we can do the two pockets and dry clean the coat for $45 and it will be ready in a few weeks" to which I replied "No I will pay for the one pocket and nothing more. This should have been ready on Oct 2nd and it wasn't. Your boss said she called me last week.. a full week AFTER the coat should have been ready. I will pay the $15 and you guys can eat the cost of the dry cleaning since you dropped the ball and I want it ready by Wednesday of next week." She says she will have the manager call me today.
Last night I get a call from the counter girl. "Um hi is this Mrs. SloanPeterson? Okay so my manager wants a phone number so she can call you. Can you tell me your number". Me: "Ya the number you just called is fine". (calling me to ask for my number is weird but whatever)
So manager calls me this am. Tells me counter girl is new and quoted me wrong prices. It will be $30 for the two pockets and $45 to get the coat cleaned and it won't be ready for two and half weeks".
I explained that the coat should have at least been cleaned and at least one pocket fixed and that I feel I have waited long enough. This woman says "Well had you called us we would have told you it wasn't done"
I said forget it and will go get the damn coat tonight and bring it elsewhere to which she replied "Fine by me".
UGh there is no customer service left in this world
I feel off again today. I was so zen when I was pg with Joanna, even through all the premature contractions and the short cervix and everything. This time every little cramp or twinge makes me panic and want to run to the doctor. Ugh.
I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Can you get a heartbeat(?) monitor and when you're feeling panicky, you can listen to the heartbeat and feel better?
One of my H's employees was hit head, by a drink driver last night. Thankfully he is ok, but had to have surgery on one of his legs. The dd was life-lighted & probably won't walk again. We got the call at 10:30 & I could not go back to sleep afterwards. I just keep thinking about my brothers accident last year. My worry/anxiety is creeping & I should probably schedule an appointment with my counselor.

What a bitch. I would be leaving reviews on every website I could saying what shitty management/customer service they have. Assholes.
What I really want to do is make my mom come over and help. Lol.
They're so good at that! My mom helped me pack for our move. She was so organized and on top of it. I'm pretty sure I had been sitting on the floor, weeping in the middle of everything.
@otterama, power of suggestion, lady! I want a donut now!
DH got up earlier than usual this morning for an interview, so now I'm wide awake. I'm still really sleepy and our room is too bright. I really need to get some curtains.

No Tamb! You will freak out if it takes you too long to located the heartbeat. This is a bad idea for you
My ear is a little bitch. It's driving me crazy. It's so bad it's giving me a headache and making me nauseous. Could be the crazy dose of drugs I'm on too.
I want the nausea to go away so I can get Indian for lunch.
I had a pumpkin mocha latte this morning and it was goooood.
My baby is 7 months old. I'm in denial. She is getting too big!!
Thanks, @sloanpeterson. I guess it's because with J, I'd had a miscarriage before, so I felt like I was due for a healthy pregnancy. But now I think it would be too good to be true to have two healthy pregnancies in a row and that I am due for another m/c. I know it's irrational.
Its not irrational.. its such a hard time. I was so nervous with Leo because I found out so late. Every twinge every cramp everything I thought "this is it.. I wasn't happy about this pregnancy and now I will be punished for it" Being pregnant is a scary wonderful amazing time all rolled into one. Hang in there :-)
DS's preschool is closed today for a teacher work day. I only work until noon on Fridays, so I brought him with me. Not ideal, but he's having fun watching Word World on the computer.
I am so glad this week is over. For some reason the past 2 weeks have taken forever, yet I have gotten nothing done. I'm going to have to get in gear next week!

The kids are staying an hour later at school today and I think I'm going to go to the MAC store and get some new makeup. I feel like I look like crap and I need change.
Today would have been my friend Emily's 29th birthday if fucking cancer hadn't taken her 3 months ago to the day. My heart hurts so bad I can hardly breathe, but I am so so thankful for the time I did have her in my life. She was an amazing person who got along with everyone and truly made an impact on every person she met.
H and I have had a rough week but we finally sat down and really talked last night and I feel so much better. We had morning sex this morning and we get a date night tonight for a friend's wedding. I can't wait for a night out with no kids and no responsibility.
Every time I see one of the new hundred dollar bills my first thought is that it's fake. It's weird having a hologram on them and being different colors than before. Going to take some getting used to.
