I am continuing a trend of two weeks of being annoyed and grouchy for no reason. We had a great time with great friends last night, have a relatively free weekend scheduled and life is really really good. My birthday is soon and my BFF will be visiting for Xmas. But I'm cranky. And I don't know what's going on to fix it.
And now I'm nervous I'm Debbie Downer for the thread.

H and I were going to a Halloween party at a winery tonight. It was cancelled. We now have a sitter (MIL) and can't think of anything in our town we'd like to do. I've been so tired and stressed from work I just want to stay home, but I know I should give some input into our marriage. We have a few bars in town. Been there, done that. He is not interested in going into the city that is 45 min away because the drive home is no fun and I fall asleep. Think, wildflower!
Ollie had too much Halloween yesterday. There was a parade at daycare, a spooky house, and a classroom party. Then at home we had a neighborhood party with the kids all running around for hours, tot'ing, and about 12 friends over for our own party. Too much pizza, too much candy, too much junk food, and too much running and screaming- poor kid was so overtired by bedtime that he slept like shit and woke up crying during the night : (
Today it's raining and I plan to spend all day laying around to recover.
They mentioned wintery mix on the morning weather today. I'm so not ready for snow or ice yet. I'm unfriending the first person on Facebook who posts a status saying how excited they are about snow. GTFO.
The end of Halloween marks the start of the busiest time of year. DSs birthday is in 2 weeks (how is my baby 2 already?!) Then Thanksgiving and SD2s birthday in thr same weekend. We will be in thr Memphis area (squirrelymom, aren't you around there?) So roadtrip and all. Then Christmas which is huge in my house because I lurve it. Lots of work in the next 2 months! My family is coming up for DSs birthday, we will see DHs huuuuuuge family for Thanksgiving. It sounds so overwhelming right now
We had a bowl full of candy sitting out on a chair last night while we took the kids tot-ing. We would refill it every so often. We got home and someone had taken our bowl. It's a cheap Halloween bowl, but I'm still irate about it.
Earlier this week I signed up for a Barre3 class this morning. Now I'm cursing myself for ruining my day to sleep in. I am also super nervous; I really haven't been getting exercise and I'm afraid I'm going to be a blob in the class.
After that we're going to get ready for having friends over tomorrow afternoon to see the house and grill.

Good morning!
Squirrely- everyone loved Ls costume yesterday. They kept asking if I made it and I said no, I can't sew but I have an awesome friend who can and she did. Her K teacher was particularly impressed because she sews herself and saw how amazingly good it was
I had totally crazy dreams last night. First I dreamt I had the baby in 8 minutes. From start to finish, 8 minutes. Then I dreamt the baby was huge, like literally 4 feet with an adult sized head. It's hard to hold an adult sized baby for breastfeeding.

Oh and it rained last night. I love the round of rain when I'm sleeping. And for the first time in a long time when my mind started wandering to rain in the basement or overflowed gutters, I was able to tell myself not my problem. It was so so nice. I love not being a homeowner anymore.
I am very glad that I only bought stickers last night for ToT. When we got home, I think that only a box or two had been taken. I just saved myself a gazillion calories in leftover candy.
Stbxh seems to be setting the stage for a custody fight. I still cannot believe how I managed to love and marry such a selfish piece of shit for ten years.
Also I checked my email this morning and I didn't get the job. :-( I must have been candidate #2 and they checked both references to be efficient. I did ask for feedback so we shall see what comes out of that. This is the first time I have not gotten a job I interviewed for so it feels like a big bummer.
So today I eat my feelings. I have already worked out an action plan to either advocate for changes in my current position or continue to look for opportunities for advancement.
I am glad I didn't discover the email on Monday morning.
I want to go back to sleep, but I'm freaking starving. Must get up for food!
DH and I are going to test drive cars today and check out a couple places for baby registry stuff. We'll be test driving cars and strollers.
I haven't called my mom since she got upset with me for playing favorites with H's family for the holidays (which I'm not really doing). She got all mad and I'm still just irritated about it. She pulls shit like this all the time. I should be the bigger person and move on, but I don't feel like making small talk with her.
We are getting everything ready to leave for Vegas on Monday, and DS has a birthday party to go to and I have a tattoo appointment tonight. I have so much to do
We are telling DS that tomorrow is his birthday so we can celebrate with him before we leave since we will be gone on his actual birthday. I'm excited to give him his gift
I gave my resignation at work yesterday. I'm going back to work in a body shop. I HAVE MISSED MY PEOPLE! :-)
Now I'm sitting on the couch eating candy and drinking coffee. Today I have things to do for work and A LOT of house cleaning. I also need to add some grocery shopping in, we have nothing in the house.
I'm a little jealous of DH, he normally works Th-Su. He took this week off so he goes back next Th. Taking 4 days vacation results in 10 days off in a row. Lucky duck.
I have to go into work today for open house, from 8 to noon. I'm not super excited about spending a Saturday morning in my classroom, though I know it's necessary and I don't usually mind bragging about what I teach.
In the meantime, DH has to take both kids to ds1's wrestling class, which is likely going to end in disaster.
