I am going on vacation in one hour! I think I have everything done that needed to be finished, but really I'm not sure. I also don't care.
I woke UP at 4:45 this morning and was wired. So excited to not be working.
We also screwed up and we ran out of cheques for the wedding gift this weekend. Is it better to put cash in the card or to send them an e-transfer online the day of? I think the e-transfer would be best in case the card is lost since it is going to be a huge outdoors wedding. Is that really lame and weird? Like - Hey - here's a nice card. Go check your email for the $$$$s.
I thought my first post partum period was coming. But it didn't. I ovulated, had some raging PMS. And boating, cramping and a small amount of spotting on Saturday. Now nothing. It's done. So weird.
I have a case of the sads. My stepson is coming to visit and of course since I am getting a divorce I probably won't get to see him. Waa, waa, waa.
I still keep in touch with my ex-stepmom! It's also been at least 12 years since my Dad separated with her and they were only together 4 or 5. She moved away a few years ago but we meet up for dinner when she comes to town.
Obviously it's not the same as living with Stepson and it's far less often. I'm just saying the relationship can still be there.
Once Upon a Time is one of my favorite "falling asleep" shows.
I just had lunch with noodleskooze and her baby, who I wanted to kidnap. He's the cutest.
I still get really jealous when people announce their pregnancies, which is weird. I wonder if that will ever go away.
My favorite Falling Asleep show is Castle. No matter how much I want to watch the show or how hard I try to stay awake, I always fall asleep 3/4 through it if not sooner.
I started The Secret Life of the American Teenager as my junk tv. I kinda love this show.
I did the same thing a couple of years ago. It was so, so bad from the start but it got SO MUCH WORSE by the last season. I think I have like 20 more episodes to watch and I just.can't. do it. And I pretty much live for really cheesy television!
I tried it too and just couldn't finish it. I think I quit around season 3?
I kinda miss giving birth. Like that moment where you finally give the final Push and the baby comes out all gooey and smells like fresh bread (is it just me?) and then you hold him on your chest and it is sooooo special??? Yeah I want that again. The only problem is I never want to be pregnant again and I never want another newborn. I'd just Groundhog Day birth a million times.
I am enjoying my child free week and it has been so nice. Our girls are having a blast with my parents and we are enjoying our quiet time. Tonight we are going to get Thai with some friends and then going to watch Lucy. I also polished my nails and took a lavender bubble bath today.
I have a case of the sads. My stepson is coming to visit and of course since I am getting a divorce I probably won't get to see him. Waa, waa, waa.
My FI still keeps in touch with his stepmom (and she hasn't been married to his dad for 15 years) - we go visit her whenever we're back east and they talk on the phone occasionally. I hope this is the case for you too.
Today has been absolute shit. The first thing I found when I woke up was a big giant turd thanks to Cali. Nothing like cleaning shit off the floor at 5:30 am.
Then I got a nasty email from the farmer's market manager. She straight up called me a liar.
It's hotter than hell and downtown fucking sucks for parking, so I had to haul my kids in 105 degree heat to get to the bank.
Then I fucked up when I deposited a check and put $2.40 instead of the actual amount, so that was annoying. I'm blaming the heat and my right arm that was about to fall off thanks to tank Theo.
Sofia found flour. There was flour all over my hallway.
I just want to sit in a corner and cry/drink. Lol.

We got back from vacation on Friday and dove back into regular life yesterday. I'm already kind of over it, lol. In the past two days, it has been a whirl of registering kids for stuff, taking stock of what we have yet to do prep-wise for back-to-school, getting some dental care for DD1 taken care of, reserving a flight for a work trip in September, shuttling kids to activities, dealing with a kid with a fever and a kid with a cough, and oh yeah, working a whole bunch. While I was gone, work changed up pretty much every expectation and so I'm finding my footing with the new approach.
DH is already completely swamped and back to working 12 hour days, so he has very little bandwidth for taking care of any of these million little things. Or stuff like dinner. He is very good about being present when he's home, but man, this workload is not sustainable. And it's no fun for either of us. I want my husband back.
My boss wanted to know if I wanted to go to Shanghai the week after my planned trip. I would LOVE to. But I have no active passport right now, and with DH's work schedule, travelling two weeks in a row would be a real strain. But I do think this is going to prompt me to finally get my passport renewed, so the next time something like this comes up, hopefully I can say yes.
We are watching the walking dead and are in season 3 now. There is not one character that I like except Darryl. :/ What a bad bunch of humans to survive.

The kids wanted to go school shopping for supplies with me today. Separately so they got mom time. Yay, I got a lot of wal mart time. Good news is there is a teacher discount thing that ends today so I should be seeing a wal mart gc in my e-mail soon.
H is normally a huge procrastinator and it really bothers me sometimes. Sometimes I just want to hire things out or dump his stuff in the barn because he doesn't take care of stuff (procrastinator+hoarder. good thing he's hot, good in bed and a good dad.)
Anyway, he's going out of town for training and got a shitton done this week. Tying us loose ends. Is shitton one word?

They really are insufferable.
In the name of Glenn, you shut your dirty whore mouths!

Not even Glen??
I loved glenn so much till
SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
The governor sexually harassed maggie and glenn is 1000% focussed on whether there was p in the v or it was just touching. I was all wtf about it. Dude, it doesn't fucking matter, he hurt her very deeply. go after him or console maggie. what are you so butt-hurt about and trying to determine if there was actual penetration or just inappropriate touching?
I'm only on season 3, so maybe he will redeem himself in the future.

I could see the potential, I suppose, but damned if I don't love him. And Maggie. #noregrets
Also, I have strep throat and spent an hour of my day watching The Walking Dead 2014 Comicon panel on YouTube. They crack me up.
Don't even get me started on Maggie!
You know what show I do love though? Talking Dead. Love it.
I hope it made your day go by quickly.
Haha. Maybe it's that I've watched so many interviews with Lauren Cohan and I like her when she's being herself so much, it makes me like the character more.
