Vents/Randoms

[aak0517]

I have a vent and a couple of randoms:

Randoms:

I lost two days of my life reading that beast of a thread on ML- so entertaining.

I've always wondered and been curious how someone on the board becomes a Mod or Admin-- @natariru do you just get tapped on the shoulder to do it?

Vent:

I HATE wearing contacts... this is the year that I am gifting myself Lasik for my birthday this summer. I'm so over contacts and dealing with them. Ugh.

[bluesecrets]

Vent:

My parents are driving in tomorrow but have no clue what time they plan to arrive, and everytime I ask what they want to do/see/etc. it's always "whatever, we don't care." They can never make any decisions.

@smorriso was the original S&B mod, then she passed it on to me when she got really busy with work & school. We didn't vote like other boards have... No one seemed to have a problem with it

Random - I also lost 2 days of my life reading that thread. And it makes me want to deactivate and come back with an unsearchable name and never EVER post pics, lol.

Vent - I'm hungry and I don't want to make myself lunch!

I didn't even know other boards voted... I had no idea what the process was at all.

That thread made me want to do the same thing. Some people are such creepy creepers lol But I love participating on this board so I'll continue to do that. I just need to be better about not openly sharing anything that would make it easier to find me on the internet lol  mrspost08 has met me and can vouch that I'm real and not a catfisher haha

ETA:  you better not stop posting your OOTD's and participating @natariru!

Vent - I really wish my children would sleep through the night again. DD keeps coming to sleep in our room on the floor which is no big deal, but still wakes me up and DS is in some sleep strike phase and wakes up at night and thinks that it is time to play - he woke at 4 today and I just gave up and let him go play. And DH went on brewery tours yesterday so he was less than helpful last night of course since he was passed out. YAWN!

Random/Vent - My neck/chin keeps breaking out right where my hair hits. So one of my hair products must be causing it so I stopped using all of them and I think my hair looks like crap now. And since I started using the dark hair version of dry shampoo I am realizing how much I touch my head and itch my head during the day - I keep having black residue on my nails, lovely.

I'm not model-esque enough for someone to want to catfish with my pics... nor do I have exciting pictures of me doing super fun things! I am HAPPY with that, lol.

Yesterday cab1217 tried to tell me that maybe she was a catfisher since no one has met her and I was like "ummm we have facetimed... thanks for remembering!"

Clearly that FaceTime meant nothing to cab1217 lol I'd never forget a facetime date with you @natariru lol

I feel you on the sleep. S does NOT WANT TO NAP which makes putting him down at night an obstacle. He took one quick 45 min nap in the morning, then fought me so hard in the afternoon, which turned into him screaming in my face from 4pm-6pm. We started go to bed process at 6:30... he wasn't down until 8:45. 
H & I alternated but I may have screamed "OMG GO THE FUCK TO SLEEP" into my pillow.

That sucks - kids are torture sometimes even if they are our greatest joys! He might be ready to go to one nap...my DS went to one nap at 1 mostly because that is how his daycare does it. He goes down around 11:30-12. Just a thought.

Random: I ate my lunch for breakfast today cuz I was running late this morning.

Vent: I have way too much to do this week/weekend, and would very much like to just cancel Easter with the fam so I can get some damn time alone to get my shit done. I would also love a mani pedi but mostly I just need to write an exam, study guide, grade 2 sets of quizzes and reflection papers, read materials so I can write my lecture for Monday, work on my dissertation, and finish this damn research paper we are doing at work. I haven't had a full weekend to get shit done for like ever. I'm exhausted and I just need just one full day where I have no other obligations so I can make some progress here before I flip out!!! Gah!!

[callmehales]

VENT: i am SO pissed since the beginning of april we've had to replace DH's convertible top because some asshole slashed it to steal an empty laptop bag (about $1800), then we had to get a new roof because of a leak ($3200) and NOW WE GET TO BUY A NEW WASHING MACHINE. so tack on another $500-$600.

and i'm dreading shopping for a dress for a wedding in a few weeks, it's been a hot minute since i was just a guest and not a BM.

[mrspost08]

I was sucked into that thread for a few hours yesterday. I can verify aak0517 is real as can be. I actually have her phone number too. :::gasp:::

I realized today I am going through pms every.single.day as a pregnant person. My hormones are HORRENDOUS! I am not use to being so angry. I have occassional days, but not every day. WOW! Doesn't help that I am miserable at work either. Absoletly freakin miserable.

Someone thought she was fake?

[natablue]

That ML thread will go down in infamy for all time, lol. It's also made me super paranoid about any pics I post and any info I share. I also had the urge to change my name and delete all my pics! I'M A REAL PERSON, I SWEAR.

Random: this is my last week of maternity leave and I've been crying off and on all day over stuff. If DS smiles at me, I cry because starting Monday I'll be at work and won't see him smile.

I'm still sucked into the catfish drama. It just keeps getting better and better!

I seriously have neglected everyone and everything in my life the last couple of days b/c I just kept reading that damn thread into the wee hours of the night lol

I'm seriously exhausted from it.

I tried to explain to H why I was glued to my phone reading ALL DAY and he basically looked at me like:


And told me "you know how crazy you sound, right? Take a break from the internet." lol

I'm shopping at the 6pm warehouse again. I hope I find something good since I missed the event I came down here for originally. I got stuck in traffic for an hour.

Yesterday was my b-day and DH is out of town working. He cancelled our weekend away last weekend to celebrate after I planned it with friends. My local friend cancelled our night out last night. I'm tempted to do what I had planned today tomorrow in the next stop and just get a hotel there and go hang out at the bar managed by a friend tonight. I'm so bummed. I'm on my own for Easter too.

I am having fun redoing our pool area, rec room, great room, guest room, guest bath, and yard to sell our house. The paint should be in shortly. Yay!

Also, I'm glad I don't post pics after the ML thread. The Chicago GBCNers and HZ can all vouch for me though since they've shopped and dined with me.

[aak0517]

Man... sh*t's about to get real over in ML world. I'm so glad I didn't know her or read any of her posts before this all went down. lol Whew!

I'm annoyed because I ordered a headband from Sparkly Soul for a friend for her birthday - and I ordered the same one for me so we could wear them together for a race we are doing on Saturday and they aren't slated to arrive until Friday, which is the day we are leaving to go out of town. So unless the mail gets here super early on Friday, I'm out of luck.

I went to target to buy lemon juice and calamine lotion. $140 later the little princess has a fully stocked Easter basket, DH has eater candy, and I bought diapers and new clothes for her. How does this always happen?!!?

It's the target vortex. There's a vacuum that sucks the money out of your wallet near the exits.

Apparently she is threatening (she being catfish,) with exposing personal information of other board members. IT'S A CATFISH STAND OFF EVERYBODY!

Whoa wait what?

I haven't followed much since yesterday.  There is a new development?

Seriously! I felt like I blacked out and didn't come to until I was loading the bags in the car!

[mrsguz]

I had no idea the thread y'all were talking about so I went to check I out at ML. The number of
pages alone is giving me a headache.

I was so hungry, i totally binged on Rice Krispy treats. Now I feel sick to my stomach and want to puke. But I also think I should eat some real food to balance it out.
