I have a really bizarre insecurity where, whenever my empty trash cans or recycle bins are strewn in a haphazard way after pick-up, I think it's because the trash and recycle guys don't like me.

Melody was a gorgeous, beautiful newborn. Thorinn is not. He looks like an old man with a cone head. He has some handsome moments, but he is a weird looking baby.
I also feel like I just don't know him yet. I love him, but I know I'll love him more when I get to know him.
Gg is coming home from the hospital today. I should go up to see her, but I really don't want to. She is not doing well mentally and I'm not handling it. I don't want to have to be strong and positive. I want to cry and stomp my feet because this sucks.
So I'm using the kids as my excuse. That I don't want them to catch the cold that started her sickness.

My husband does no seem to understand how lack of sleep affects human beings, me specifically. He just told me I'm always miserable. That coming from the person who slept 10 fucking hours last night. And 8 or more hours 3 other times this week. I want to murder him. And also cry. And drink. And eat everything. ALONE.
I don't take the boys to Santa/Easter Bunny. I'd probably have to do it by myself and I'm sure they'd freak out so I just can't imagine trying.
I'm avoiding a friend because I don't like her FI at all. He's rude and sarcastic and they got engaged so fast I didn't have time to say anything even if I wanted to. Now I can't.
I'm really lonely and have no idea how to make mom friends. I'm an anxious mess when I first meet people which I'm sure doesn't make anyone want to see me again. I care a lot about what other people think of me. Maybe that's flammable?

Did you guys move yet? You're moving closer to DC right? We should find a good halfway point and have a regular meetup.

Why can't you come to Germany for the next assignment?!

I just watched S4E2 of Dexter. Your H should watch it to see how lack of sleep can affect someone.

I don't plan on ever taking her to the Easter bunny, I don't see the point. Unless she really wants to someday I guess.
My mom never did any Easter stuff for us as kids and we are on vaca w her in florida now and she wants to do all this Easter stuff for Macy. I'm like why didn't you ever want to do this stuff when we were kids? She all the sudden feels the need to dye eggs and get her an Easter basket. Idk it's annoying me for some reason.
I don't the obsession with the ML board., unless you post there regularly.
Lol is it okay to point out the irony of this?
I don't mean lurking there. I mean when people get obsessed with things that happen over there then come back here to talk about it. It doesn't happen a lot, just the recent thread made me think about it.

In regards to ML, I consider GBCN a whole community. Sure, ours is a subdivision, but it's part of a larger "neighborhood." What they've got over there is a person who managed to create an elaborate persona, take that persona off the internet and into people's personal lives, as well as garnering sympathy, both emotional and financial, for situations that cut to the core of people's values. That's pretty stunning. Especially when you consider there's people very internet savvy and highly educated on that board. Just like we can all rally together in the face of tragedy for other members not specifically affiliated with our board, we can all get behind the shock and deceit of this happening too. I don't think it's an obsession, but it's not like it doesn't affect us. We take in new members willingly too.

creamsiclechica, I totally get your perspective. I was just saying for me, I don't get it. I don't side eye anyone who feels invested, I just don't feel invested in the other boards. Hope that makes sense.
eta: I also get that this particular situation was horrifying, and probably very upsetting to those who had invested emotionally and financially in that person. I'm not undermining that. I've contributed a time or two here, and I would be upset if that person came out to be a fake as well.
For me it was more just the narrative of it. I found it fascinating, just like I might be fascinated by a human interest story in a magazine. And I was riveted watching the various components of the story unravel. It wasn't just, oh, this person has been pretending to be someone she's not for many years. There were characters, and subplots, and context....hey, I wish I hadn't been so riveted. That's 9 hours of my life I'll never get back (I'm estimating). But it was more interesting than TV to me, where you truly can't be invested because the story lines truly aren't real. Except for reality TV which we all know is just unmediated reality with an unobtrusive camera thrown in.

I have discovered a confession for today. My h got a Xmas bonus on a bank gc. We still haven't spent it. We decided today to blow it on season passes to two parks so v and mh (and maybe me sometimes) have things to do this summer. I don't feel weird spending that kind of money bc it doesn't feel like "real" money. And I want her to have a fun summer despite being cooped up with a newborn.

You have had so much happen since he was born. In the few hours I was at you house you got at least a dozen calls about GG. You haven't had the time to just take him in and absorb his wonderful squishy cuteness. It'll happen. As much as I love having you in NY, I can't wait for you to move to Iceland. I really think it is going to improve your life so much.

This isn't a confession, this is wonderful. (Heart)
