My mom has a 'traveler' staying with her right now. She met him last year when she gave him a ride in the California area. She always seems to have someone staying with her for various reasons. I get tired of not having any alone time with her.. because the guests always join in on whatever we're doing.

Ala - how long is this person staying with your mom? Can you tell her the next time you guys do something together that you want it to just be the two of you?

We are starting back at the gym today after way too long. Both of us have gained weight and nothing fits right. I am so ready to go back.

I took today off and am so glad I did! Let's me relive my unemployment days. I wish I had taken tomorrow too!

 Ugh. 25 people are unaccounted for.

So freaking rude.

No clue, the last person stayed with her for months. I could say that. But I won't. I don't want to essentially say "Hey, person, we don't want to spend time with you." He's nice enough, it's just frustrating.

I have a comically long torso. I ordered a no-show slip to go under the dress I'm wearing to a wedding on Saturday and it hooks in the crotch (like a leotard). The hooks are literally at my belly button. I had to cut the whole inside out so I could stand up in it.

DS is sick, again. Poor guy needs nebulizer treatments every 4 hours.

The bonus is that I get to be home today and play on here!

Here is a picture of Lexi from the meet up. She looks so happy!

[alabasterangel]

The new puppy is exhausting. I hope I decide to never get another dog.

Well my best friend just stood me up for lunch so I had to eat by myself, but she said her meeting ran over and she wasn't able to get to her phone to let me know. Oh well, at least I tried out the new place and the food was good and quick. We're gonna try again on Wed, I think I will make sure she is on time before I leave the office, though!

Since getting my newest tattoo on Saturday I've been thinking about getting a half sleeve. I'm not sure if I'll ever pull the trigger due to professional reasons. I know that tattoos are more acceptable nowadays but I would hate to get passed for a promotion due to them. With a half sleeve I know I can hide it, but I don't always want to wear sleeves to work, ya know?

What did you get?? Pip!!

Also, I 100% understand this. The one I'm getting (hopefully) today is going to be partially visible on my chest and I definitely took my job(s) into consideration. I had to weigh my want with my need to cover it and decided I was willing to go ahead. It's such a hard decision because yes they are getting *more* accepted but it's not to a point where they don't matter... though I'm hoping we get there!

[alabasterangel]

I want more tattoos but can't afford them right now. Damn priorities!

I got my security deposit from my last apartment so a small tattoo is my splurge. I kept getting bummed out seeing people on my FB post new ink and knowing I couldn't get any so I understand! Most of it is going to car repairs/bills so I figured I needed *something* fun out of it.

STBXH changed the date on the divorce decree before signing it meaning he's gotten about 2.5 years without paying child support. (so far)

Does he still have to pay it back though? He's stalled so effectively he's not been ordered to pay yet.. so no.

[theatre4life]

Ala - your STBXH makes me so stabby! Sorry he is still finding loopholes.

My random is an AW - I am back to pre-pregnancy weight, and feeling really good. Now I just need to get cleared to workout/lift because I am missing that. And sex. I am really missing sex. Three more weeks. Just three more week.

He is such a turd. Ugh.

[alabasterangel]

Thank you for calling names and such. I have a strict policy of not doing it (for the kids and whatnot) but damn it feels good to read what other people think of him and his shenanigans.

Woo hoo! You're rocking it! Three weeks should fly by!

I had drop-off duty for nephew this morning. One of the teachers manning the hallway for the kids referred to me as 'mom'. Realistically I know that I am 29 and he is almost 5 so it isn't at all far fetched that I could be his mother but it was a shock and it shattered the illusion I have of being the 'young/cool' aunt.

[MyName]

alabasterangel, your stbx is a despicable shitpig! I don't know how he lives with himself not paying child support. I'm sorry he is shirking his responsibilities, but the kids are so lucky to have you for a mom!

I'm sure they judged you for having him so young since you were obviously a teen.
