Tuesday Isn't Off to a Good Start

[partiallysunny]

My son woke up at the crack of dawn this morning. He peed through his diaper and was up my ass.

Which means I was running late. When i finally got out the door, of course I needed to scrap off my windows. And once I got in my car, of course I need gas.

My leaky shower is still not fixed. Handy man is coming out again today to fix it.

I need a financial break. No more house or car stuff going wrong!

I also need to figure out how to clean out my gutters. I just noticed there seems to be moss growing out of one... And I'm sure there's more I can't see.

I came in to a nice, toasty office this morning--yay for working radiators! Now I have to go around and adjust the temps in all of the offices because some of them are super hot.

[partiallysunny]

Finally cuddlyevil!

My H has an interview Monday! Yay!

Maybe Tuesday isn't going so bad after all.

[cuddlyevil]

Yay for Mr. PS!!

Sorry partiallysunny, hope your day gets better. After drinking wine last night, I couldn't get my a$$ out of bed this morning. I had to take our foster to the vet's because he is chewing his paw raw - and now he can't walk on it. Ugh. He is such a mess.

I ordered a large coffee at DD. I am so happy right now.

Ugh partiallysunny. That's not a good start.

PF had a rough time settling to sleep last night and after 2 hours past bedtime, lots of snuggles, CIO, and sitting up banging her shoulders against the crib railing she finally passed out. And was a beast to wake up this morning.

I'm in a low self-esteem spiral and I'm trying desperately to shake it. I'm finding 1 thing I like about myself every day, I'm going to start posting song lyrics on FB as a status again, and I'm going to make time to do something I enjoy. Hopefully that'll help me shake this. It's no fun.

Music always makes me happy and boosts my mood dixienormous

He has severe anxiety issues. He had his last two heartworm treatments last week so he couldn't walk for a few days (technically they are not supposed to have ANY activity), but sitting around drives him nuts so he just chews himself raw.

Aw, poor pup

Dixie, you're amazing--we all think so. Just come here if you need a boost.

Thank you, partiallysunny.

doglove - poor pup. Sitting around doing nothing makes me pick at my fingers and my lips. I totally understand where he's coming from.

[partiallysunny]

doglove well who can blame him. Sitting around makes me a wreck too. Hopefully the vet can help, to give you peace of mind and get that puppy on the mend.

[tiramisu]

dixienormous you are an amazing and beautiful woman. Look at all the progress with PF. That's because of you! You've gotten her services and brought the right people into her life to help. You've made things for her to help her. And you've been doing all that while dealing with all your feelings. You inspire a lot of us.

Also, you're a hell of a lot of fun to hang out with and are wickedly funny. Big hugs!

[tiramisu]

doglove you are so great with your fosters. That poor pup. I hope he's on the mend soon so he can find his forever home.

[dixienormous]

And cue the tears. Thank you, ladies.

[Deleted]

Thank you ladies - hopefully we can get him back on track. He has three more weeks of restricted exercise and hopefully the heartworm issue will be corrected.

I think this may be our last foster because it is so emotionally draining.

I hate mornings like that, partiallysunny. I'm sorry. Hope the rest of your day is great though.

doglove, that poor pup. I'm sorry.

[starrieskies]

I'm just going to sit next to tiramisu. She said everything I wanted to say but more eloquently than I would have.

dixienormous and doglove please read her comments anytime you start to feel low because you are both truly amazing, selfless, and inspiring women.

partiallysunny, may I ask why your son caused you to run late when your H is at home right now? I'm sorry you had a rough morning. I hope your day has improved.

dixienormous, work on following your advice to gault as well as what you are already doing. You know how to get through this.

doglove, you are a good puppy mom. Want to take care of me?


I have woken up with a headache for the past 3 days. I am not a fan.

I'm sorry, chica.  Frustrating and heartbreaking to watch, I bet.

Sorry about your headache, muddled

Because H is a fucking bum who won't get out of bed and help? Or because I don't know when to say "enough is enough" when the kid is up my ass trying to do what I do? Probably both.

I've always seen them get better - you know? Always even under the worst circumstances and for him, it's just been one thing after another. It is extremely frustrating and heartbreaking for him. I just hope we're on the right road now. 

[starrieskies]

I feel like there are so many people on here today who are hurting, and I want to make it all go away for them... I love you guys and I would hug you all in person if I could!

This guy will get better, too. It's just a longer road. Poor guy.
