It's my birthday. I have a big ear infection. I called in, hoping to start my day by sleeping in, but our alarm got tripped in the middle of the night by something in the basement. Still cant figure out what it was. Then H decided it was a good morning to try CIO so Andy would sleep past 530. So of course there was crying child until 6. And then Andy was tantruming (because he was tired) and H left my bedroom door open. So I got to sleep in until....630.
@missusbee, I hope everyone is out of the house now and you're back in bed. Why do they pick the worst possible time to do shit like that?
I drank way too much fizzy water this weekend- I still feel bloated from it.
Someone found a line of blackberry bushes near the river by my building, so I went berry picking with a couple of coworkers yesterday afternoon. So weird, but I baked them on puff pastry last night and mmmmm, so good!

i don't know!! And h didn't even get up by himself at 6. I had to be all dramatic with a pillow over my head and scissor kicks to his knees. Lol.
They are gone now and I'm braless drinking coffee on the porch trying to plan out my day. Here are my ideas: run, yoga class, mani pedi, Lebanese for lunch, blueberry picking, bake a pie, make myself lobster for dinner.

A girl emailed me and asked if I need help coaching cheer. Yes, please! She has good credentials, she can commit to the whole season, it's a really good fit! But I looked at the time stamp of her email after I answered her...in less than 10 minutes. Hello, desperate!
Happy Birthday @missusbee! I hope you feel better.
This humidity is messing with my breathing. After my run this morning I was dizzy & feeling sick to my stomach. I chugged a bunch of water & Gatorade hoping it helps but now I'm sitting at my desk and my vision is off, kinda spotty.
Tonight we're having company for dinner and I'm dreading it. I just want to relax and not have to entertain.Thursday I leave for the beach with my grandmother and the kids. I'm excited but I know none of us are going to sleep well and I'm worried about dealing with the kids on my own.
I was thinking about the bedtime prayer my mom used to say with me when I was a kid. I never really thought about it until now, but it was horrifying: Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I should DIE before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
Happy birthday @missusbee! I hope it goes better than this morning.
My uncle had a heart attack yesterday, so I am home with DS today so my mom, who usually watches him, can go to the hospital while my uncle has surgery. I'm just hpoing everything goes well, but it's still scary.

WTF?
/things I think of when I'm alone
I think about stuff like this too. Also, Rockabye baby, along the same lines.

My mom changed the words in the last line of rock-a-bye baby, lol. I was in older elementary school before I learned the real ones.
DH and I got in a huge fight this morning. He helped me exactly zero when DS woke up at 3. We fell asleep on the couch at 5, carried him up to our bed at 6:30. I asked him if he could get up and take DS to daycare at 7:30 so I could sleep. He said he had to take a shower. Please note that I am the only one who showers daily in this family but now its SUPER important. So I had to get DS dressed and off to daycare. I am so. mad. He was shitty to me all weekend and now this.
Yesterday was the third try for my dad's hip replacement. After they put him under and got him positioned, they noticed a skin infection on his leg. So it was a no-go again. When the doctor walked into the waiting room an hour after they took him in, I thought the worst. It was an awful moment.
I HATE when H is not considerate on my morning to sleep in. When he is asleep we stay in A's room to play. On my day to sleep in he has her running laps around the house with the tv on. Wtf??

We said that same prayer, Wambam! And yes, so morbid now. Lol
I am at the doctors office and there are two ladies in the waiting room talking and laughing soooo loud. I seriously want to ask them to be quiet, but I won't because thay would be rude. Damn.

This day is not starting out well. It's 8:30 and one of the neighbors is already mowing. I need to move, to the country, where I have no neighbors. My tolerance for people is dwindling rapidly.
I hate the waiting game in home buying. We close in just over a month - closing moved at sellers request from Aug 1. There's not much we can do except wait, but I want to get in and measure so we can start ordering furniture. Our REA asked theirs, and now we're waiting to hear back...
I thought that I would be all rested and in a way better mood after taking a weeks vacation. Nope. Still grumpy about my job and being snippy with people who ask really DUMB FUCKING questions about their own job that relates a tiny bit to what I do.
I cannot get my shit together in the mornings. I used to be so good about waking up on time, having everything ready to go the night before so I could exercise and enjoy breakfast before getting ready for work. Now I sleep past my alarm every day and it's a rush to get out of the house. I just love sleep too much.
My poor dog has a hot spot on his paw that he's already managed to lick raw even though we only noticed it last night, so I'm somewhat anxiously watching the clock until the vet's office opens at 8:00.
Happy birthday, @missusbee! I hope it turns around!
I like living with BF (it's been a month now), but I really miss sleeping alone.
Like, a lot.
A LOT.
Even after marriage, I still feel this way.
We are currently looking at king size beds. I can't wait to have a twin size bed area all to myself. I was sick a couple of months ago and had the room to myself and the only perk of being sick was sleeping without an elbow in my face or getting woken up by the bathroom light. It was glorious, you know, outside of feeling like death.
I was irritated all yesterday because for some reason, my boobs had grown overnight. When ripped my bra off after work, all WTF, I realized I bought the wrong size. Derp.
Also, I did an at home peel last night and I noticed no difference this morning. I'm failing at beauty.
I just contacted a cleaning service for a quote for our place. It's like 1100 square feet so I feel totally ridiculous, but if their prices are good I'm going to hire them.

I am imagining your avatar saying "It was glorious!" and cracking up.
