I feel sometimes like I've just been too lucky in my life, that I am due for some horrible things to happen. I mean here I am, I have a job, a house, a car, I have a husband I love and two wonderful amazing beautiful children. My parents are alive and are nice people with whom I have a positive relationship. I have six siblings that I love. I just feel sometimes like, I don't deserve all this so something horrible is bound to happen to me.
Get out of my head! I have these exact thoughts, too.

This is one I have often.
I am always thinking something bad is going to happen to us because we deserve it.
Here's something creepy. H teaches in a wing that includes different disciplines, so there are English, Science, Math etc teachers. I don't have the statistics straight, but since they have been together in this school, everyone has had something tragic happen to them. One teacher lost both his brother and sister in accidents last year. Two or three people of the 10 or so have lost a parent in the past year to cancer.
When H told me this my stomach dropped. We are the only people that haven't had something terrible happen to them. They used to joke about having a curse, but I think some of them are starting to believe it. Especially after the last accident.
we have had one tragedy, my SIL passed away which was very sad but I feel like .. for my H and for his mom, and my BIL and my nephew (but he was just a baby so he doesn't know) that was the worst and most horrible thing that could ever happen and for me it was just ... mildly horrible. So I feel like it wasn't bad enough, for me. So I still "deserve" more terrible things because it wasn't me who lost their sister or spouse or child, I "just" lost my friend.
it's so awful. I mean it's not like there's some giant spreadsheet where someone will be adding up my column and being like.. "hmmm this seems a little short on tragedy compared to the Mean. throw something her way"
I just left the park because some lady kept trying to feed A some random food without asking! I kept telling her no, he can only eat what his mom leaves for him, but she was relentless. This isn't the first time it's happened. It happened Monday with a different lady! And the mom today was trying to feed all the kids so she wasn't just targeting mine.

I like to believe the universe/God (if you believe) doesn't work this way. But I am right there with ya.

I feel like you have some very strange park experiences. Why are people at your parks so pushy and/or rude?
Ok I stick my hand down the disposal all the time to get like popcorn seeds or bones or whatever gets stuck in there. I've never really thought about what could happen before but now I'm starting to!

You are a magnet to strange ass people at the park.

When I was growing up, I believed every person must have had some kind of trauma growing up. It wasn't until I got to college that I realized it wasn't true, that sometimes a "normal" childhood really did exist, without having to deal with sexual abuse, alcoholic parents, verbal abuse, and the like (no, I didn't have to deal with all of that, but everyone in my small circle of friends growing up had to deal with something traumatic).
I've often wondered if that's why I sometimes feel like I'm just waiting, wondering, what's next?
I kinda feel the opposite. I have had some very tramatic things happen in my young life and because of this, the universe see me as an easy target. Kinda like beating a dead horse. I mean, don't get me wrong, I do have a wonderful life and I feel very fortunate. But I feel like I'm more susceptible to tragedy.

I have no idea. It's been pretty tame for a while. I just cannot get over feeding a young toddler food without asking a parent permission. Blows my mind.

I always say there was some curse put on my family, especially the past 10 years. I am always waiting for and wondering, what's next!

Well, that's the thing; my adult life is so far removed from my childhood, I shouldn't be wondering what's next, but I still am.
Oh good grief IKEA! Way to make things complicated. There are three ways to order... in the store, on-line, and over the phone. The table and chairs that I need (and we actually do need them... we've been eating off of our patio set for the past three years, and we would keep doing it except it's too big for the breakfast nook at the new house) isn't available to order online. The store is 45-60 minutes away down the hell-strip that is I-25 and the boxes won't fit in the car, so I decided to call and place the order over the phone.
Except the phone orders are delivered from the warehouse in California, and instead of 2-3 days will be 2-3 weeks. And the shipping and delivery fee is double that of just getting them to deliver from the store.
Grrrr.... DH has volunteered to go down there tonight and take care of the order. He is going to need an extra beer to shake off this trip when he gets home!

Ughhh my stupid gym requires a 30 day cancellation notice. Wtf? I have to give a whole month notice before I can quit? I put my account on hold for this month while I decided if I wanted to go back, and I emailed them saying I would like to cancel my account. They emailed me back saying my final payment would be on the first and I could schedule appointments through the month of September. This is some bullshit.
I think this is common. It was this way at LA Fitness. They were very clear with me about it when I signed up though.
But yeah, not sure why they can't cancel the account at any time and refund any paid ahead.

they all do this, jerks. I guess they make most of their money out of people who don't actually go to the gym so they then try to eke another month out!
I still cringe thinking about all the money we just kept paying before for our family gym membership "we'll definitely start going soon!" Then I finally say enough is enough an cancel and still have to pay another month. Jerks!

The thing is, my account is currently frozen, so if I just freeze it for another month, then I can cancel my membership within the 30 days. Wouldn't it be easier to just cancel it now? Lol. Who wants to go back to their gym for a whole month after they've cancelled??
I have no clue! I cancelled mine but didn't go after I cancelled, even though I could through that month. So silly.
I know LA had some rule that unless you had a hardship like moving 60 miles away or something, you couldn't refund that money.

My gym wants me to pay 6 months before I leave. Yeah, okay. I'll just keep paying every month for 6 months, just because I refuse to hand over all that money to them.

I am motivated by money. If I am paying for something I use it, but most people sign up with good intentions but never cancel.
When I was a member at LA and it was getting warmer out, I was running outside more. I had to go 12 times a month for my insurance discount, so I would run there, walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes, then run home. It was so silly.
I think I figured out what I did with my time before kids! Epiphany!

Yeah I spent a lot of time in the gym before kids. Two Hours at the gym? Sure, why not! then home or maybe the bar for a few beers and off to bed for ten hours of sleep
My child never napped and now the weather sucks. I guess we will watch a movie or something. I have cookies in the fridge that I need to cook so I can eat a ton!
Can I tell you guys my obsessive fear (aside from a pang of anxiety any time Jamie rides in a car)?
Because of the recent bouts of nasty antisemitism in Europe, I worry that Jamie's preschool will be a target and that some crazy will go in there with a gun. There are already 2 police officers always stationed outside and a guard at the front desk, but I want the whole damn police force there protecting my baby!
