I got my rent the runway dress yesterday and I LOVE it. Can't wait to wear it tomorrow.
I'm dreading the drive to FIL s tonight. 4 hours, 8-12. There is no way around it though since we have to travel from his house to the wedding tomorrow morning.
Also I'm in a lot of pain and wishing I could stay home from work today.
I was bopping around to the radio while cleaning the other day, and my dancing may have gotten especially... enthusiastic... when "All About that Bass" came on. BF was like, wow, you really like this song, who sings it? I told him, but blew it off. He knows I'm not normally a top-40 kind of girl, that song is just catchy as hell. Well when I got in the car to come to work, the Megan Trainor cd was on my seat with a little post it smiley face.
It was so sweet I can't even bring myself to tell him that I think the other three songs are completely lame. I pretended to love them.
ETA, @missusbee, internet stranger hugs. I wish I could take the pain somehow. But I'm glad your dress is pretty!
I'm going to Middle a School today! I feel much more prepared this time though lol
Every year my niece's school has a day where kids can bring a family member for the day, it's pretty fun, but she lives an hour away and school starts at 7:50...so I'm up eaaaaarllllly
That's so sweet that she wanted to bring you. What an honor!!

My rehearsal dinner is tonight and I did not sleep much at all last night. FI also had his bachelor party last night and he told me about everything that happened. Needless to say I will be punching our best man in that face today. (FTR, I am being slightly dramatic, its not something I am completely uncomfortable with)
It has been a shit week at work, with my diet, and with my home life. Everything feels out of control and it sucks.
I agreed to go with my sister and niece to the Breaking Benjamin concert tomorrow night. Ugh. Sis also asked if I can watch my niece all day Sunday while she goes to the Jets game. I really needed this weekend to get my act together.
I have a lot to do this weekend, and I'm ready to get started! . I don't have any huge projects today at work so I'm hoping I can get out a bit early...

I'm looking forward to two different gts - one tonight at the opening of a new pub (travelling to the other side of London for this) and then tomorrow night with some GBCN ladies.
H is overwhelmed with stress to the point where he's over-thinking everything. I'm stressed too. But when I get stressed I look for a million alternatives and solutions. He just shuts down.

We're going to attempt the 3 day method potty training starting tomorrow. I'm not going to lie, I'm absolutely dreading it. We had a good session with the therapist tonight. This method is hard sometimes, but I'm still finding it really effective.

So my references are being checked. They asked for two additional references one being a past manager. I have been in my current position for 7 years with the same boss. So I had to email my old boss with a "Oh hi how are you, remember Jack the baby he is now in 1st grade. Can you be my reference" lol. Thank god she is still at the same place. But 5 professional references are a lot for me becauseI work in a very focused position that doesn't have a lot of collaboration in my department, which is why I would like to leave. My 5th reference will be good, but won't set the world on fire with anything insightful.
Anyways I saw the sample questions they ask through a survey now. they are intense. THEN at the bottom the people have to list three things I need to work on. That sort of makes me nervous. And then they end it with what I am good at.
And I had to sign away liability to what people say lol. All the answers come in aggregated, but still. It is weird to know what is going to be said about me. Plus my boss prides herself on feedback and even though she loves me I think she is probably also going to be pretty honest about me. Ugh
Anyways what I am trying to say is I am a wreck with anxiety, but I think it is a good sign my references are being checked.
I've got a hair appointment booked for tomorrow but I can decide what to do. I really like my hair as is, but I booked it with my bestie as a girls day and feel like I can't bail. I can't decide whether to go lighter or darker.
Our scanner is down at work and it's really limiting what I can do today. The joys of being a 'paperless' company.

It's exhausting.
I'm sorry. This is DH and I this week too. I keep proposing rational solutions and he keeps saying "I don't know what to do." I just told you what we should do!

What did he do?
I know I'm being a tease in this situation, but I am unsure if I want to post that

I feel like he's going through male-opause. Usually I'm the emotional one and lately I'm all "no time for that crying shit! Boot Straps!!"
My "problem customer" that I want to punch in the face all the time was in my mother's newspaper this morning. She didn't know it was my customer. She just saw it said "nano" and sent it to me. The article is so frickin' misleading and the guy I really don't like had this smug smirk on his face in the picture. Gah, it fired me up and woke me up lol.

Remember how I said I was having surgery Tuesday and would be going home Wednesday? Well, I'm still here. I have a drain that will encourage healing and it is still draining. I was really thinking I'd get it out this morning, but nope. Either I stay another night or go home and go to the office to get it out Monday. I'm actually wanting to stay because I can't really do anything at home with a drain in. So ready for this to be over.
My parents will be at my house when I get home tonight. We're going to walk up to the cafe near my house for dinner and I plan on having wine.
DS#2 begged me to pick him up this morning. "I want to go all the way uppy", when I asked him why he said "Because I love you so hard.". I may have melted into a puddle.

Are you applying to be in the Secret Service? This sounds like overkill! LOL.
Thank goodness you had the grocery bag handy? Yuck. Feel better LHC
The aviator cap for Hart's Ming Ming costume came in the mail this week. It's so freaking adorable! We're taking him to a Halloween thing with a friend tonight, I can't wait to see him in his full costume!

Our neighbors set off big ass fireworks last night at 11:30. In the pouring rain. Just like the night before. If it happens tonight, I'm calling the police and dropping off my grumpy awake toddler at their house to deal with.
I'm at the point in my pregnancy where my nose randomly decides to start spouting blood, and it's getting pretty old.
Also, I do not care even a little bit about Halloween.
