Jet lag is kicking my ass. I'm fairly sure that half of the problem is getting used to sharing a bed again after three weeks of starfishing all over my old twin bed. Wine doesn't work. Neither do sleep-specific teas. F this. At least coffee is strong and cheap here.
H is taking over the household stuff and it's so.effing.hard to not tell him how to do it.
Let it go, let it goooooo! I know, easier said than done. Big hugs, squirrely.
DD and I had a sleepover last night and watched Mulan 2. I thought I hadn't seen it before, but yeah, I have. Which means I watched it as an adult, with no kids to use as an excuse, lol.
The antibiotic I'm on had given me a rash from hell. I must have woken, 15 times mid scratch in the night. I am so fine with this pregnancy. It's been one thing after another :/ My FIL is coming today, I hope him and H get a bunch of random house stuff done & entertain my toddler so I can rest (& go get a much needed pedi).
First week of school finished-I was in bed so early last night. As a result, I've been up since H left for work at 6. I planned on heading to my fave class at the gym that starts in 10 minutes, but DS is still sleeping. No chance I'm waking him for that! Heading downtown for brunch with my friends in a couple hours, then we're all helping one friend pack up her apartment.
We're helping my sister move into her new apartment up at school this morning. I didn't fall asleep until 3 last night and I am dragging this morning. But at least I have MSU ice cream to look forward too after we're finished!

DS2 is 3 today. I'm an idiot and keep getting teary eyed and choked up about it. Kids grow up, I KNOW, but fuck man, slow it down a touch. Then I realize that we are probably done having babies, and that makes it start all over. I hate being such an emotional mess of a person.
It is stupid humid out today. Like I have never felt humidity like this. The air is thick.
I have no clue what we are going to do to keep the inmates happy today. This summer has been so mild and we are spoiled with never having to consider the temp.
My grandparents are bringing my new kitchen table today!! They found it at a garage sale and refinished it for us. DH and I still haven't decided on chairs.
Other than that, Will's birthday money is burning a hole in his pocket, so I think we're going to go shopping later.

Good luck today, squirrelymom! Sucks you have to get up so early... Maybe you can get them to prescribe sewing therapy long term (Sorry, honey, I can't do the dishes. I haven't completed my requisite sewing hour.)
We are going out on the lake today with SO's college friend's family (whom I've never met). I know the boys will have fun, but I hate making conversation with strangers for more than a couple of hours.

we are moving today. we rented a truck and will be loading it ourselves, just the two of us. I agreed to this plan when I thought I could convince h to get rid of more things. we have so much shit.
I just booked flights to Austin in February!!! to go to Quiltcon. I wish I could take you with me squirrelymom!
I now need to go to MIL's and BIL's houses to feed their respective cats and I don't want to. Also need to make apps for pool parties tonight and tomorrow. 3 games of Ultimate booked for the afternoon.
I'm going to want to die tomorrow morning when I have another 3 games to play.
I was supposed to work today, but H thinks he might have pink eye, so we're trying to keep DS away from him as much as possible and there is no one else who can watch him today. So I'm using seven of over 300 sick hours. I'm just glad I don't have to go outside today because it's supposed to get HOT.
That's gorgeous, cbwm1! I would totally get yellow or red painted chairs! But I love bright colors... maybe a little too much!
My random for today is a debbie downer. I had no plans last night. I have no plans for today. I just don't have many friends. (I do have one local friend from GBCN, and I promise I'm not trying to guilt you - you gots shit to do! Just venting in general.) STBXH and I had a bunch of couple friends, but we knew them all through H's work, so H sort of "gets" those friends in the divorce. I do have one potential friend that I met not too long ago, but she has other plans. There is a music festival today, and I kind of want to go, but I don't have anyone to go with. The festival is at a park, so I'm thinking maybe I'll just go by myself and bring a book to sit under a tree and read so I'm not just standing awkwardly around. Or maybe I'll go to a movie by myself. I keep telling myself to be patient, and I'll meet more friends, but half of my summer has been wasted in front of Netflix because I have nothing else to do. I'm just feeling bored and loser-ish.
Thanks!! I'm so excited about it. I just can't freaking figure out what kind of chairs I want.
White? White chairs with seats I can upholster with fun fabric?
I think chairs that you can upholster in a great pattern or print that brings that gorgeous turquoise/teal out. And then you can change the upholstery if/when you want a change. I seriously love it so much it's lovely.

The assholes at my district's professional development office completely overloaded us with PD sessions last week, then I spent way too much time yesterday going to meetings with different assistant principals on my campus, and as a result I still don't have finalized lesson plans through the end of next week and my desk is a disaster area. All of which is to say that I'm going to be spending most of this morning at work (along with pretty much everyone in my hall since we're all in the same boat vis a vis preparedness) getting ready for the first day of school. This afternoon, though, I'm getting my eyebrows done and going shopping for some fun supplies like colored pens and big Post-Its before we have a family movie night. All in all I think it's going to be a good day.

I'm going to kill him.
Kill him after you finish or after you are certain you no longer care if you move successfully. Otherwise, you've wasted valuable manual labor.
I just got out of bed to let the chickens out, but H didn't lock them in their coop last night. I can't see them in the pen or under the coop, so maybe they're still inside, waiting for someone to open the already open door? Dumb chickens.
I'm staaaarving, but I didn't grocery shop last week and we have no food. I don't want to get out of bed, but I'm getting kind of nauseous laying here without food.
