So P was Face Timing with XH on Sunday. XH was telling him about a concert that he went to last Thursday. Then he proceeded to say "Hey P there were so many girls there!" Really? He's you FIVE year old, not your drinking buddy. I grabbed the phone, hung it up and haven't let him talk to him since. I texted my lawyer yesterday to see if we were on track to file everything in Humboldt but didn't hear back. I hope we can do that this week and then get things taken care of. I cannot believe how incredibly stupid he is.
On a positive note: P had another great day at school! I talked to my boss about everything and he wants to work with me and is going to figure out a way to fill in the gaps with me not having a base salary until I get going more. I met with one of the guys I do a lot of business with and he had some great prospecting ideas that I know I can implement. All of the sudden my week filled up with appointments which is awesome!
We move this weekend too so I'm really excited about that!

I made the mistake of reading an article posted to H’s fire department FB page and now I can’t get some horrific mental images out of my head. It wasn’t an article about his dept or anything, but a 20-year veteran talked about some scenes he’s been on and how he understands why fire departments promote early retirements. I had to stop reading it and I’m a little pissed that whoever posted that article didn’t put some kind of disclaimer on it. I can appreciate that the article captures the reality of their profession, but for those of us who aren’t used to it, it can leave you shell shocked.
I had to change my SL prepayment plan today. I was HOPING it would drop to about half, but instead, I went from 777 to 550. Ugh. I DON'T WANT TO PAY THEM BACK ANYMORE!
I went on a great Tinder drinks-only date last night. We were mid conversation and he said, "I've been holding this in for an hour now. This is the first REALLY GOOD online meet-up experience I have had. You are far more beautiful than your pictures online. And you're normal? I want to talk later about seeing you again soon." Talk about making a girl blush. The same was true for him - incredibly more handsome in person than in pictures. I'm looking forward to date 2.
Today we're short-staffed, so it's been nuts already this morning. I might need a slice of cake to make it through.
It's only Tuesday? Damn! I'm obsessed with painting my nails. I've never been able to do it without making a mess but I just kept trying. LOL that painting my nails is the one thing I didn't give up on.
It's stormy outside and I just wanna stay in bed all day.

My last month has been crazy busy with short vacations and work trips. I am finally home for the next couple weeks and am trying to catch up on everything.
I had a great trip to Denver last weekend to visit my college bffs. I left so happy and feeling like I am so lucky to have such great long time friends. While I was there, I started thinking about maybe moving back there. Nothing holding me here now! I haven't gotten very far in that idea yet but it might be a possibility.
I have a fourth date with Tinder guy tonight Not sure what we are doing yet but I'm excited! I have been so busy the last month that this will only be the fourth time I have seen him in a month but we have been texting a bit though.
This week just needs to go already! I have a headache and my back hurts. I did crack my head really hard on one of the OR lights yesterday at work (but I also feel sniffles coming on). Im trying to be more creative with dinner lately because, well...we eat a lot of chicken and it gets boring. So I'm thinking about making some pesto sauce tonight...hmm..
I had a really terrible morning. J is an asshole. A self-entitled piece of shit. His ex GF (my ex friend he was fucking after we broke up) facebook messaged me like a thousand times trying to get in contact with J. He's not my problem. I told her this and I said that I'd rather her not contact me since she and him both hurt me by sleeping together the day after I moved out. I called him like I do every morning to let him know I was leaving to bring S over, and told him he better handle it with her because I refuse to be harassed. He started on me and said he was going to take me to court for full custody. What the what?! How? Because I go to work FT, PT, and school PT? I asked him which the court would favor, my work ethic or the fact he has multiple girlfriends and has sleepovers while my daughter is in his care? Long story short I cried my face off, went to work an hour late, and I hope he dies in a fire.
Two job day today. I miss RR. He texted me that he misses me last night. He comes home Saturday from working in VA. Maybe we'll get some couch and movie time.
I'm not one to date multiple guys at once. Mostly because I get confused and am afraid I will call one by the other's name or that they will end up being friends or something. But it just kind of happened. I have been dating one guy that I met about two weeks ago and I just ended up having lunch with another guy yesterday. And Guy #1 and I have plans tonight, and guy #2 and I have plans on Thursday night. Oy. My BFF said just see how it plays out and one will naturally fall off. It makes me nervous, like I am doing something wrong even though I know I'm not because I just met them both. I guess most people do this all the time but it's kind of foreign to me.
My ongoing saga with a teacher not showing up has just been partly resolved. She has missed 10 classes this semester. So we have a replacement starting Thursday. I feel like this won't be in my favor. ETA: we found this out via a note on the classroom door today. Wtf?
WTF?? This may work in your favor, if nothing else having someone actually show up will be beneficial?

My kid was a legit asshole last night at the store and did such amazing things as dropping his pants and scratching his ass in public and screaming and laying on the floor over not getting to play with the machine. I walked his ass to the car ad sat and cried. I'm still mad today. Usually his tantrums don't faze me but last night I had fucking had it.
Everyone in the lunch break room is talking about Ebola and I am not in the mood for the ignorance today.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

I didn't have to meet with my condescending professor last night, so instead I went to campus and met with a writing tutor about my paper. He was great! He opened my eyes to some things and I am excited to start diving into my thesis.
FI left for Germany on Saturday and his co-worker's clothes and their training materials didn't make it there until today! I have no idea what his CW did for clothes and how they went about training, but so far, he told me that he feels as though this trip has been a waste of time. Bummer.
Tonight is kickball!!!
OH! And I am 1st place in my FF league right now. I won this week by .6 points! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew! A lot of my players were injured last week, so I need to make some changes.
I'm in over my head at work and think people forgot that I wasn't hired to build websites. I cannot write blogs to get you leads and build sites at the same time. I write at work and not all weekend. I'm ok doing some work at home but right now all of my writing is during non-work hours and it's really frustrating and I feel like I'm coming up with crappy work.
A guy I had a crush on all through college added me on FB last night and it made me so giddy. Lonely, party of one, LOL!
Work is insane this week and it's only Tuesday. Grr.
I got bored recently and looked up my first crush (the guy from sixth grade who would actually pick me for teams in gym and tell people to knock it off when picking on me). He was super cute and popular and all around nice. Now? He's all hipster looking and even likes a page called like "the smug hipster." So sad. He's still not terrible to look at, once you get past the skinny jeans, though.

I'm trying to mentally plan when I'm going to take a "sick" day. I feel like such a millennial when I say I want a mental health day, but gosh darnit I DO! I have 8 sick days left for this year.

OH I do this all the time. I have no guilt if there is nothing that I'm responsible for and no one has to pick up slack for me.

@pdx18 - I don't feel guilty, I just feel silly trying to come up with believable sick excuses. It doesn't help that I work with people that would probably come in with a broken leg and go to the doctor on their lunch break.

Hi ladies, I am back from dropping off the face of the earth. Long story short. FIL got sick, went in hospital, passed 4 days later, we packed up his apartment the next day, went out of country 2 days later to push the progress on a house we are buying, had to evacuate the islands due to Hurricane two days early, spent 2 days in Orlando, prior to returning home waiting for available flights, worked two part days, traveled 3 hours Friday for FIL Funeral services, and back again. Worked another day, and then did second memorial service for FIL at Nursing Home. And Bam that is how I got from Oct 1st to Oct 21 in the blink of an eye.
I saw the Long Island Medium this weekend and I just keep thinking about what she said. It was a crazy cool experience, even if I didn't get a reading. Some of the things she said to people about their deceased loved ones was just mind-blowing.

I met Kellie Pickler last night and before I knew it was her, I had almost told her that she looked like herself, lol. She was nice.
I left work early today because I am cramping so badly and my body hurts. I was hopeful I'd get a nap in, but they are mowing outside my window at the moment.
