I just remembered I woke myself up screaming in the middle of the night last night. I was screaming in my dream and woke to realize I was doing it out loud. Poor Buddy was sitting beside the bed to see if I was okay - he was confused. It was disturbing for me since I almost never have dreams/wake myself up like that.
Do you remember any of the dream? I don't like dreams like that.
Stbx has been contacted by 3 companies so far, two have offered him jobs. One pays well but the hours are less than idea (night shift, but a swing schedule so no set off days), he said the guy sounded offended when he said he had to think on it--but he's got other things to consider. So he's making progress and will keep me posted.
I'm hoping he'll take the kids all weekend this weekend so I can go check out a church.
I'm still a little sore from the Saturday hike, but not as badly as I was afraid I'd be. I was concerned I'd end up with hip pain so bad that I wouldn't be able to move.
The dating is going. I also saw wedding guy yesterday. We went to brunch together and then he came back to my place. As of right now I only have 1 date scheduled for this week, which is a relief.
Ru ran head first into the wall coming down the hallway. H said he crumpled to the floor and cried. Poor buddy. He seems ok now.
I bought a sweater at ON the other day. I have no need for it, but I loved it. The store had winter posters up, with people in winter hats, scarves and gloves. It was ridiculous considering the weather here. I'm surprised they don't cater more to the area.
I seriously wasn't planning on finding a house that we loved. Gah! I hate this.
If we don't make an offer on this one, I don't even want to look anymore. This is too nerve-wracking.
Why were you guys looking now? I know you said but I can't remember. How does P feel about this?
P has continued to look online for the past few months. We decided to go to some open houses just to get a feel as to what the market is like. I seriously wasn't expecting to find a house that we both totally fell in love with. This house has my dream kitchen
Last week P suggested that we sit down and create a budget together to see what we could realistically afford. He loves the house and seems very serious about potentially pursuing it. We talked two hours last night about money, etc.
I need to have a heart to heart with him, though, because I want to TRULY make sure that we are on the same page.
Oh, I'd like to give a big FUCK YOU to the snow removal contractors of a townhouse association that boarders my street. They only bothered to clear 1 street of their corner of sidewalks, and left the other complete ice. The side that is a hill, of course. My knees are completely black and blue from me biting it this morning.
My knees are bruised and sore, but that seems to be the extent of it. And I even wore my practical/ugly snow boots.
Sidewalk maintenance is the responsibility of the property owner inside the city limits, so they are always in crap condition. Usually the little townhouse community is the only decently cared for strip of sidewalk, since they hire that out. But their contractors really suck this year!
Can you contact the board? It seems as though they are asking for a lawsuit.
DS was so tired when he got home from his dad's house, that he put himself to bed without changing into pjs. I want about to wake him up to change so he slept all night in his clothes.
Just signed up for a volunteer project later this month. Yay!
And I deleted my tinder account and don't even feel sorry about it.
not that I know much about online dating, but I was watching Shark Tank Friday and they presented a new online dating site called Coffee meets Bagel. the name alone is cute. Maybe a site to try for the heck of it
That is a cute name, but I'm taking a break from all that stuff right now. Too tired of guys 10 year my junior only wanting to hook up with me for sex.
Sorry you almost bit it getting the kids to school. It's getting colder here, so I'm sure I'll bite it at least once on the way to the parking garage.

PF's birthday party was a hit. She had a great time. It was short (90 minutes) and music and she was in a heaven. The kids seemed to really enjoy themselves too.
Found out that the "free" car that my mom gave me is going to have a hefty price tag. We had a mechanic (our babysitter's boyfriend) check it out. It's leaking oil, the tires haven't been rotated in so long that we have to get 4 new tires, there are NO shocks, the rear brakes are completely gone, the wiper fluid tray is cracked, apparently it was in a rear end accident and the repair/paint job is shit. We have to get a quote on parts and labor and then decide if it's worth it to keep it or to sell it and get something new. I'm pretty pissed that my mother never maintained this car.
It took me almost 3 hours to get to work this morning. One hour of that was sitting on an exit ramp, in between woods and a concrete median. It usually takes me 1 hour to get here. Stoopid ice and snow. Grrr.
I took DS to Chuck E Cheese for a birthday party on Saturday. It was loud, chaotic, everything was covered in pizza grease and jam hands, and I nearly got into a fight (yes, you read that right).
DS did really well though. We were there for 2.5 hours and he stayed right by my side (he's 3) in the arcade and didn't wander off at all. He didn't cry, beg or whine for anything, he was more than content to pick out a couple small things from the ticket exchange counter, and he ate 4 pieces of pizza, a piece of cake and a cupcake.
My favorite part... DS played skeeball for the first time and he loves it. He found a machine he liked, put his little cup of tokens on the top and parked himself there for an entire hour.

I'm liking PF's birthday party, not your car woes!

Oh and on the super plus - H took PF yesterday for the day and I took myself on a date. I went to lunch and saw Into The Woods (which I've been dying to see). H and PF went to Build-a-bear and while she didn't get the process, she chose a pink kitty with hearts all over it.
Years and years ago I opened a 403b with my previous employer. Tried to roll it over once but it was such a piddly amount and such a headache that I just left it. Kept getting statements so whatever. Finally decided this new year to deal with it - currently on hold with them because they show a zero balance.
The phone number on file is my XH's...one he got AFTER our divorce.
I'm hoping this is just an error in the system. Since XH doesn't get the statements I can't see him randomly remembering about this account. I barely remember I have it. And why wait until this past year???
