Well, okay. But it happens. And it means you're alive inside and here and are taking enough risks to cry over someone. I hope you get it out and feel better in the morning. 

Thank you.

OMG FUCK ME! Ben lost a tooth last night and I TOTALLY forgot! He just woke up (also insanely early) all sad that the godamn tooth fairy didn't come. Oh, man, I feel like shit. And I didn't want to do the fucking tooth fairy in the first place! Thanks, Grammy!

I've done this at least twice.

I am beyond exhausted, DD has endless amounts of energy, and between the firehouse and his side job, H is working all weekend. I thought he'd be off Tuesday but he got called for overtime at the firehouse, which is good but it also means that I won't get a break until Wednesday and DD's room won't be finished until then. I swear 2.0 will be here and nothing will get done, nothing will be ready, and I'll just trade from one exhaustion to another. I wish I could blink and I would have some energy and everything that needs to be done for both girls will just get done with zero effort on my part.

DH asked what is for dinner tonight.
I said, come here, I will show you.
He followed me to the kitchen where I opened up the fridge and freezer and pointed out what we have. I said, you are on duty for dinner tonight b/c I am studying for my finals this week. You, on the other hand, have time this weekend. I also told him he can do the meal planning this week too. I gave him the look and he agreed.
It is like dude, you know this is finals week. School is important (ok, food is too) however, some help in the meal planning department would be greatly appreciated.

Was my approach Passive Aggressive? Maybe but I got what I needed.

BTW-I am taking a break to play on the interwebz.

[Vespasia]

While we're venting.

H has done nothing but bitch and moan since we bought the house. Yes, it's been a lot more work than we expected. Yes, it seems like something new breaks every week. Yes, everything takes longer than we thought times a million. But FFS he's saying the house is cursed and we should just burn it down. Such a drama queen!

Since I woke up this morning my left tricep has been SO freaking sore. It feels like I did some kind of hard core workout - it's painful even to a slight touch. I literally can't ever remember it being quite this sore. And I have no idea at all why. I don't remember doing anything yesterday that would have caused it.

This doesn't strike me as passive aggressive at all. Just logical and direct.

You're right, stollen is delicious.

(sbp, stolen) - Sorry about your neighborhood break-ins.

What the fuck? Why didn't it autocorrect? It didn't even underline as wrong.

What's stollen?

German holiday bread.

I have had my head buried in accounting for the majority of the day (less the time I spent getting my nails done). All I want to do right now is watch some mindless TV/trashy movie. My mother is watching some sort of fucking animal show that has any number of farm animals doing gross shit, including fucking donkeys. Yes, donkeys that are fucking. She claims she's going up to shower/bed "any minute now." I'm dubious. And annoyed.

meh.  I don't expect my H to know that I'm crashing for finals the next couple weeks.  If I want him to do something that I would normally do during this time that I just can't....I just tell him..or at least give him a warning.  I figure he's got his shit going on and doesn't necessarily remember what my school schedule is.

I'm a bottle of wine and one strong Bloody Mary deep into family Christmas. So far so good. Only 2 inquiries into my reproductive future and one rather loud response to a questionable joke. I'll try not to pull a sangria tonight lol. But there a lot of wine in this condo, so.

Oooh, this is exciting.  I just got a notice on our neighborhood board that there's a burglar in the neighborhood.  And he breaks in at night even if people are home.  Which I think makes it a robbery.  He has stollen from two cars (parked in driveways) AND broken into an actual fucking house while people slept and stollen shit from their downstairs.  Including a pair of boots.  The police have been called and were apparently like, "Meh, it's hard to catch people if you call AFTER the burglary."  Well, Officer Dip Shit, do you think maybe you could step up surveillance in our neighborhood, maybe do a drive by at night seeing as how there have been three break-ins on three consecutive nights so it would appear, they're just kind of moving through the neighborhood?  Maybe you could bring some of you nifty night vision goggles you got from the "Let's Militarize Our Police" garage sale the Federal government seems to be perpetually sponsoring.

Fuck.  I will not sleep tonight.

God, I love my dog right now.  

I'm sorry -- I know how scared you must be.  Our small sub would be all over it.  They'd be stopping any black guy with the temerity to cross the border into our city...or the even greater temerity to drive home and walk into the home they live in....in our city.

I'm drinking a glass of wine now. Doing a bit better.

Lol, I may be able to join you in a wine induced thread, but I'm going to try not to do that, too.

I fell asleep before we were supposed to go out to eat. I woke up when DH came up to get me, and was sort of groggy all the way to the restaurant. Then we started talking about the protests (specific and in general). At one point DH looked at me and said, "Look who woke up." Asshole.

H forgot to share my 10 year old nephew was spending the night with me. Said child is still awake. H irritates the hell out of me with this shit.

Haha! I'm only half a bottle in but I hardly ever drink, so it is a lot for me. Yes, autocorrect is my friend right now. I'm trying to read some serious articles that others have posted and it's not going well.

I bought PopSecret Microwave Caramel Popcorn tonight and FORGOT TO MAKE IT when my son deigned to watch Elf with me. I'm mad, esp because I'm famished and that would hit the spot, but I'm also dvring Independence Day so I guess we'll pop some  tomorrow. maybe two.

I"m too scared to click on that post about where I should be for retirement savings. Long live denial.

Speaking of sisters, mine was released from jail. She has not checked in with her PO.

So this ought to go well.

DH pointed out this morning that maybe the reason 2014 went so shitty for us is because we literally spent NYE fixing a toilet. This may be the most profound thing he's ever said to me.

So now we're trying to figure out how to ring in 2015 in the right way so we don't create any more bad omens.
