I used some tea tree oil diluted with grape seed oil on some dry skin above my right eye last night just to see if it worked....it does. It's way better now. I think I really am turning into the crazy essential oil lady. I don't think it can cure PPD or PSTD or anything (I think that's SO irresponsible), but for minor things....dude....I'm starting to believe since it's worked for me.

I don't really like children (but my own of course) and agreed to watch my neighbor's son while shes at work for 4 days. I really don't mind doing her the favor and helping her since her husband is deployed. She's a good friend, but id much rather be at Target and eating Chipotle for lunch. Our babies are the same age, so I thought it would be cute to have them "play together." Lol I put them on the playmat together and they immediately started grabbing and pinching each other resulting in two crying babies. FAIL

Maybe it's just because it was oil.
Could be! Lotion didn't seem to do anything, but oils are more.....oily....lol But this is why I put it in the flamefuls.
ETA: I got my eyes checked yesterday and mentioned it to the doctor, and she offered me an ointment and then she was asking what I'd used. When I said tea tree oil, she was all...OH! That's great. Random thoughts by jen.

I could see my husband accidentally ending up in a cookies-esque mess because he is totally and completely oblivious where women are concerned. We readily joke that it is amazing he and I got together because he generally wouldn't know if a woman was interested in him if she stripped naked and sat on his lap :-)
I'm at a BEC spot with one of my coworkers. She's so pretentious (got on another coworker and I for not using "colorful enough" words), she fancies herself a Shakespeare scholar (not that I am, but at least I took Shakespeare courses in college), hums loudly all the time, eats loudly, thinks she's an expert at our job, even though she's been there maybe a year while I have been there eight. Ugh. I just can't anymore, and am thisclose to asking not to work the same shift as she does.
I know it's all irrational, but damn, she annoys me!
Oh, I see you've met my CW. Does she also use at least 2 of the following (fresh, local, organic, farm raised) to describe every morsel she puts in her mouth?
No, they don't but I still reserve the right to dislike them for encouraging shallow behavior. Honestly, I haven't seen their show since they first started so maybe now they spend their time volunteering at the homeless shelter instead of whining about photo shoots?
Oh no...not shallow behavior!
I am pretty shallow and I don't volunteer at a homeless shelter. It's amazing I have any friends at all.

"I only eat local, farm raised Lean Cuisines."
YES! I forgot that part, too. Always talking about the roasted vegetables she's eating, and the kale, and grass fed meat. Look, I have no problem with clean eating, but bragging about it, especially when I am stuffing my face with delicious ramen noodles, is not going to endear you to me.
Oh, and for the love of God, if you'd rather be in a fall like environment in the middle of July, don't live in the midwest!
Why someone would support the Kardashians completely baffles me. They are a horrid, vapid family. I assume people who like them also liked 50 Shades of Gray.
I find it really weird that people have such animosity for certain celebrities. Do they kill puppies? Starve children?
Am I only allowed to dislike a person if they kill puppies or starve children? Sometimes I just don't like people based on their personalities. Even non-famous people!
Lori Alexander (is a fucking monster) is the one that gets to me.
Are they all yours? is ZsuZsu
sanderson1611 is Stevie (Zsu's H). His church is Faithful Word Baptist Church. I listen to his sermons far more avidly than I care to admit.
Those are my top three right now.
This made me look up Lori Alexander. I stopped reading at the "your children want YOU" post Mommy guilt for the win!
That is SO tame compared to some of her really repulsive stuff. Like the time she gleefully described her son in law force feeding her granddaughter as she cried unrelentingly with every bite.

sorry, this has been building. Lol!
Cut out early and we'll go get drinks.
Or rather, an ironic local craft brew to go with the venting.

Yeah, I figured it would just get worse. Better that I don't read it and keep believing that people aren't that crazy lol.
The other day we were talking about the baby, and my son said very matter of fact "Vivienne's getting too big. She's too big and then mommy goes up to the sky."
"Up to the sky" is where we told him my Poppop is after he died.
I'm freaking the fuck out. I was already terrified of dying during childbirth, but this put me over the edge. I know he's not even 3 yet, I know he doesn't really know what he's saying- but fuck. He was big (9.8) and I was already worried about her being big! I'm thinking of asking for another growth ultrasound and my reasoning would be "My toddler told me the baby is so big that I'm going to die!"
jenny1980 here's so me of my favorites. Not all are mormon but all are annoying.
i believe in unicorns (mormon)
joy prouty wildflowers blog
nie nie/ c jane (mormon)
sparkling adventures (unschooling)
rockstar diaries (mormon)
miss brimley and the mister (mormon)
tales of me and the husband (married her professor)
I had no idea who Joy Prouty was and I started following her on instagram, but now, I have a hard time believing that her life is that perfect. Like, every post is SO ideal and magical. Nobody is that peaceful and happy all the time! lol At first, I enjoyed the farm pictures and the animals, and her kids seemed to be always having fun, but now I'm like "WTF do you have a bed in your garden?!"

I'm actually off today, so you can imagine how annoyed I was with her yesterday!

This would freak me out! I would probably mention it in passing to my OB, like "hahaha...ha?" And hope for another u/s.
I don't get the continued hate-reading of fundie blogs. I did it for a while, but it just made me mad and I had to stop. I guess it leaves a bad taste in my mouth because this is someone's religious belief. Which I find awful, but it also feels awful to hate-read someone's religious blog.
I can laugh at the Londoner, or that annoying Pink Peonies person; but it's different because it isn't dealing with someone's religion.
I agree. I feel like if you're kicked off and banned from commenting, then you might be bordering on the crazy yourself. They are still people who deserve to live their lives, I don't know why it bothers people so much.
I know this was meant to be a jab at me, but I nodded.
I don't deny that this is weird and a little insane.

I think people's religions are fair game to laugh at, as long as I'm not impeding their right to keep believing stupid shit.
Also, the blog I was banned from is not a reasonable person that I hounded incessantly and harassed. The comment that got me in auto-delete was the following:
"Why does desire = control? I don't understand this definition and where it comes from."
So yeah, all the crazy is not on me here.
And LHC, I get it, you think I'm awful. Can we move on now?
