We made an offer on a house yesterday. The listing agent is dragging their feet circling back. Our REA tells us that most houses in that area have multiple offers/bidding wars (we lost the first house we made an offer on in a bidding war). As of yesterday we were the only offer, so I know they are just holding out to see if they get more offers before circling back to counter, but the last house was such a quick process that the wait is making me worry.
I am so sick and grossed out. Someone shared an article about why you shouldn't wear flip flops on a motorcycle. And the picture on the newsfeed showed a destroyed foot. Without any skin, just bones and muscle on the sole. I can't get the image out of my head. Ahhhhhh!
People who share stuff like that are giant assholes.
My dad is in town helping us move and get stuff done around the new house. It's a mess and I am so overwhelmed. I do not want to be at work right now.
We went to see Jamie Cullum last night and he was so great!
I said something kind of snarky to DH last night without really thinking. He came into the bedroom when we got home and was crying and said he needs me to be more patient with him. We found out his parents are divorcing on Monday. I feel so awful. Ugh.
i'm going in for my 38w3d check up where they'll tell me nothing is happening and i'll leave crying again.
my mom is really getting to me lately, mostly because it feels like she really doesn't give two shits about me but just cares that i'm pregnant and what that means for her. every time i see her or talk to her that's the only topic she wants to discuss. she will interrupt other conversations to bring it back to the baby. she keeps posting all this really stupid stuff on Facebook and I am really tired of it.
My sister had her baby yesterday. He is adorable, tiny and healthy. Mom and baby are doing great. I watched him come out and it was the most incredible, disgusting thing I have ever seen. I also stand firmly by my decision to not have a mirror when I had ds.
I still think it is the coolest thing I have ever seen. I asked for a mirror with Campbell but didn't have time.

That's so scary. I hope she is found soon!
I'm only 8 days in but right now I kind of feel like I'm killing this SAHM/solo parenting thing. I've managed to shower everyday and most days I've even been able to put on make up and blow dry my hair. We've made it out of the house everyday. I've kept up with the dishes and laundry and my house is clean. I've managed to run various errands with the little man like the bank, post office, grocery shopping, even the ministry of transportation. He doesn't scream in his car seat anymore, I've been able to put him down in the PNP for some of his naps, and we are sleeping okay at night. It's still early and November 24th is a long way off, but I think we are going to be okay!

Day two of the new job. It's all training. Like I get they want to be through but they are going so slow. There are two of us it's a brand new dept where I worked before so I get it's all new stuff, but I've done this before. Seriously, they don't need to do this.
I'm feeling unsupported by DH lately and it sucks. He didn't say a word last week about my last day in the old position, I got a quick good luck as I walked out the door yesterday and then nothing about how it went last night. It's making me ragey on top of all the other crap bothering me about him. I guess it also has to do with the complete lack of concern or care about following the gd diet. He tried to give me a candy bar the other day. Like dude, that's the last thing I should have. I've tried to explain it, but I know he didn't pay attention. I'm just emotional and sad.

This is my one regret with K's delivery. I turned down the mirror and really wish I hadn't.

I hope things are happening!! I can't wait to see that beautiful behbeh! And for you to be comfortable again lol
Sorry your mom sucks. Ignore her. Focus on you and these last moments before everything changes!!
My random: I spent an hour at SD/niece's softball game yesterday talking to SD's BM. H and I have been married almost 5 years and her and I have spoken directly one time. There has been a lot of drama and fighting and general uncomfortable, awkwardness. We both apologized for things that have been said and done over the years and are attempting to move forward and be friends. I really hope it works out that way because it will make my life a hell of a lot easier.
I'm taking dd in to the dr - she's coughing and usually there's an ear infection to go with it.
Ds had a tick on his head yesterday :/ I found it and stayed calm but that's only bc dh was right there to take care of it, lol.
We just realized yesterday that we are leaving in our road/camping trip next week and bought a bunch of shit on amazon. We each now have our own titanium sporks, so you know, we're ready to do this. Lol.
Holy cow, are you ok? Did you breathe any of this in?Â
We're okay, thanks! I freaked out and called poison control and they said as long as weren't feeling light headed or coughing we were okay (we were on a different floor and I had shut the door to the laundry after I started the washer). I opened all the windows and slept upstairs on the couch instead of downstairs by the washing machine though.
I am so excited to watch my friends baby today. I can't wait for baby snuggles! Except she's a new walker so she's not going to let me hold her for long.
I hope something's going on. Baby needs to come out! Lol.
I'm sorry about your mom . Mine acted like a fool when I was pregnant with Sofia. She wouldn't talk to me for month and months, then as soon as I got pregnant she was up my ass constantly. She would post dumb shit on Facebook, started calling me cutesy names, and I was so annoyed. Then when I got into the third tri she begged and begged to be in the hospital room when I had the baby. I told her a million times no, I just wanted my midwife, the nurse, and my h. Then she started crying about how much it would mean to HER and blah blah blah. Like, gee, I had no idea I had to accommodate everyone else while I'm pushing a baby out. Lol. Anyway, she was so pissed when I called her and Sofia was already born. she stuck around and called regularly for the first few weeks, then she went back to never calling, never asking what's up, nothing. She's a very selfish and self absorbed woman. I almost don't even want to tell her about this pregnancy until I can't hide it anymore, lol.
mekiakoo that showed up on my feed too. Ugh. Way to ruin breakfast.
@stellasmom hugs. I hope your itching is just itching and I'm sorry it's a rough day.
I lied and told my office that I have a doctors appointment this afternoon, but really I'm going for a haircut. I just want to get back to feeling a little bit normal.
I still have 60 new emails (from 149, hooray!) and I can't bring myself to check my voicemail yet.
I flew up to Seattle for a work dinner yesterday. I'm flying home this morning and I just found out that my flight is delayed. My son has his first gymnastics performance tonight at 4:30. I am going to be pissed if I don't make it home for it.
H and I got in a fight this morning about putting things away. I typically put his clothes away because they are scattered about the house. Yes, my H leaves clothes trails throughout the house. Then when I put his clothes away it's "ZOMG I CANNOT FIND ANYTHING." This morning we had one of those moments however I had not put any of his belongings away and I became a sensitive sally because for once it wasn't my fault. Now I refuse to touch his clothes. I will navigate through the clothes landmines he leaves behind from now on.

You are an L&D nurse right? You would definitely have been more prepared to see it. I am not super squeamish unless it involves myself and then I am a giant baby. If I had watched that amount of blood and amniotic fluid come gushing out of myself I would have lost it. Didn't bother me a bit with my sister I thought it was awesome just disgusting too. LOL
@stellasmom, I hope your itching is nothing and everything is fine.
I don't know if you already see a therapist regularly, but I've been seeing one for my anxiety (among other things) at DH's hospital. The whole clinic only treats cancer patients and their caregivers and it's been really helpful to me. I'm trying to get DH to go too, but he's really resistant to it.
Did your doctor give you a survivorship plan once your treatment was over? Having a thorough one might help with the anxiety as well. Imma shill for Livestrong again and say that they have a pretty good site here for putting one together for yourself. www.livestrongcareplan.org
I am all hovery over Jack right now. He started day camp and was a zombie when he got home. He had SO much fun. But swimming, park play, dodgeball and misc other tom foolery makes him really exhausted. Plus I am worrying that he isn't eating and drinking enough so I have been obsessing if I am packing enough food, and if the snacks they provide are substaintial. Oh and is he drinking enough water? LOL get a grip lady!
We are having our cable turned back on today and Charter told my H they would call him on their way but we would be the first stop so it would be early, probably between 8-8:30 when they got here. Still no call.
Last night our doorbell rang and it was the little boy that lives next door. He looks about six and he's so cute. He said "ma'am I was playing soccer and my ball went over your fence. It's a volleyball, but I was playing soccer with it." Lol he was so serious about it, it was adorable!
I finished OITNB this morning so now I can read all the threads about it I've been staying out of.
We took our cat in for his lion cut today. He loves the result. He is so lovey and snuggly when it is done. His long hair is too much in the summer. But he is a super anxious cat so the catching part is always traumatic for him. Then we had him in his little carrier in the kitchen and Leo sat by it for 20 minutes saying "Kitty...kitty...kitty." Then he would laugh hysterically when Sherman would hiss. Poor Shermy. He doesn't like our kids and he doesn't like the vet and he doesn't like the carrier. He had to face all three demons this morning.
Do you guys remember my BIL's GF who posted about her phobia of people under 5'2? I have more deeep thoughts from FB. She posted a picture of a "countdown to Obama's last day" clock and said this:
This is pretty cool !! I would buy it but I honestly don't want to remember how pathetic Obama BS is everyday because it gets me in a bad mood. Hope he f gets diarrhea n shits all his love for aliens
This woman scares me.
What a fucking loony.
I need to know more about her fear of people under 5'2". I am 4'11" and 3/4 inches. I would terrify her.
