Confessions/Vents/Randoms

[dancingirl21]

I have a confession.  I bought Taylor Swift's new album on Monday (the day it came out) on iTunes and I am LOVING it. 

I find her to be insufferable and really awkward, but I do like her music.  Anyone remember an awards show from last year (can't remember which one) where she was in the front row dancing when no one else was? Ugh, so bad.

Amazing.

I am going to vent about my neighborhood again. The house that's going in in front of us is much closer to our property line than we expected. And the builder used my driveway this morning to get into the land so he wouldn't have to jump the curve. No. I stopped and talked to the excavation operator and he was kind of an ass. So there's that. I just hope these houses go up quickly and not super ugly-ly.

This is a vent about my IL's, you've been warned.

So we're hosting thanksgiving. I asked DH to find out if BIL is coming, who is he brining, and if they're eating. Previously they haven't told us which kids are coming and a couple times they've said "oh all 7 of us are coming" and then when they show up we realized they already at, at SIL's family. Gee thanks asshole. So DH finally says "well I think 3 of them are coming." I ask "are they eating?" He says "I'm not sure." Thanks DH.

Then today is FIL birthday (and MIL's husbands as well, yeah weird). I asked DH 2 weeks ago about dinner for FIL's birthday, nothing. Today he asks BIL finally, they're busy. Of course they are.

I just hope hope hope we can just do a quick breakfast b/c FIL is insufferable and hates govt workers, etc.

Yep! Mostly the other songs, not necessarily that one.

I've been playing the album on the dock at home and J does his baby dance where he essentially fist pumps and backs up his booty. It's awesome.

I don't have any idea what this sick beat song is and I'm confused every time it's posted. Is it the song title? Google isn't helping. Maybe that's flameful?

The song is "shake it off". Listen and you will understand.

I am becoming obsessed with house-hunting, which is very un-MM. We've agreed to stay in our current house (15 year mortgage!) for another few years, and we're planning kid 2, so the truly horrifying daycare years aren't yet in the rear view mirror, but, but, pool! More space! MH has stopped responding to the house links I send to him.

[Brie]

Vent: my H is being kind of a buttmunch lately about work. We were in a good groove of him being home to help out after DC pickup 2-3 nights a week, at least, and then he'd WFH after dinner. But now he's all stressed about work and making his hours for his bonus this year (that we really need to get through my maternity leave), and taking four days off for our Disney trip, so he's stopped and is back to working until 7 or 8 pm every night, coming home to eat, and then WFH after that. And he is going to be gone on a work trip all next week too. The trip to Disney is the first freaking vacation we've taken since he started his job in 2011. And now I feel guilty about it.

I'm really tired and crampy today and could use some help wrangling C but I just typed out an e-mail to him and deleted it.

I'm eating everything - mostly junk food - in the name of increasing my pumping output. I've already eaten all the food I brought with me today. A vending machine trip may be in my future. I would like to make another milkshake run, but don't think I can fit it in my schedule.

[Mushe]

One more: The teacher in the next room up, where we expect DS to move in January (if he can master PT, that is!) gave her notice. MH and I are doing a happy dance. I cannot fathom why so many parents like her! She is rude and dismissive and says insensitive things. I told her this morning that her new job sounds like a great opportunity, and she said she'll miss all the kids, but feels especially connected to the difficult ones, like my son. OH HELL NO. Literally every daycare/preschool teacher has told me how he's such a sweet and easygoing kid. He has one little quirk in the mornings, which is the only time she sees him, so she can STFU right now.

this reminds me of when we lived in your town and they put a house right up against the backyard. i mean we could practically see into their house. and trucks drove through the backyard. my dad was furious.

we moved before he put up a fence lol

i hope it goes up quickly for you! and maybe they will put up a fence

I'm phoning it in for the next week at least. I need to process. I think I'm gonna fake sick and go to bed early.

DD was watching Katy Perry videos this morning. I can't wait until she's old enough to want to go to concerts because I will totally "volunteer" to chaperone. I'll be the cougar dancing to the next One Direction!

[Brie]

In light of recent FB friendings, I'm totally checking out to see who has hot husbands.

[sent]

DD loves that Taylor Swift song. And by loves I mean she will stop fighting me when it is time to get into the car seat and actually let me buckle her in. So I know all the words because I have to sing it to her, naturally.

I confess this part-time working thing is harder than it sounds, at least for me. I feel neither me nor DD don't have any type of a good schedule going on.

[ladygrey]

I've complained a few times on here about our neighbor's chickens, specifically the rooster who crows all the damn time. Well, last week a fox got into their backyard and killed the rooster! I am not at all sorry or sad about this.

I spent $50 on Jamberry nails the other day. At least my lunch was free that day.

I wasn't sure if it would be creepy to admit this, but yes. Very much so.

I have not really gone to anyone's profile after accepting them. So please share any findings for the lazy.

I think a lot of the MMM husbands on FB are cute! Way to go, ladies!

I fully know I outkicked my coverage in oh-so-many ways.

Now THAT would be creepy. (Willisaurus, Starry, Justjen, Hannymaren.)

So funny - I think Mr @vicmo and Mr @starry look similar

I feel like we have the same neighborhood complaints.  My neighbor put up a saw horse (is that what it's called?) so the builders etc couldn't use his driveway.  My husband went and talked to the builder about all their trash that was blowing in our yard.  Food wrappers, cigarettes, etc.  the builder said "I can't make them put their trash in a trash can".  Um fuck you man.  We started collecting it and dumping it in the model home.  

I hope they don't continue to use your driveway...

I had to pick up M because she has a fever. Well she did until they gave her meds once I was there. Why would you not give tylenol that I have brought and signed off on every month?! Now we are at home playing and I'm "working".

[ohgillian]

I forgot my lunch, had no car today, and didn't have anywhere nearby to get lunch. A coworker gave me sardines, which I ate. NEVER AGAIN.

[countthestars]

I think your husband is cute too, @hannymaren
