I was on a roll this morning, running errands and cleaning. Then I got home around lunchtime and totally crashed. We already promised to take the boys to a movie (and bought the tickets online), so I'm currently downing my third cup of black tea in the hope that I won't fall asleep during the previews.
Went to the grocery store and spent too much money (especially since it doesn't include vegetables/fruit because we get that delivered) but we are expecting snow and had to buy whatever was there and looked good. Last time it snowed, they didn't plow our streets and we were trapped here for a week.
I just got away with not picking up my daughter from 4-H! Husband went.
My dog, Ruby, is an asshole. She really is. I used to be a dog person before I had her. She is only motivated by food. NOthing else. affection and attention doesn't matter to her. That pisses me off!
One of my best friends is pregnant. She is my age. I am sooooooooooooooooo happy it's not me trying to do that one more time! omg!!!
I can't wait for season three of Wentworth to come on. And I am loving "Enlightened"
I'm watching DS try to do headstands. He's still not talking a whole lot (at least that most people can understand) but he comprehends EVERYTHING and is the most physical kid I have ever seen. The verbal skills will catch up, but for now, I will be proud of the headstands.
This is more of a vent than a random. We went to the open house at DS's future elem school (he'll be in kindergarten this fall) today. My ILs invited themselves to go along-they wanted to see everything and be a part of it, too. FIL is the deacon at the church, MIL knows many people there too, my H went to school there, etc. As we walked into the K room, my ILs were ahead of us, introduced themselves to the kindergarten teacher, introduced DS to the teacher, talked for a minute, then turned around and said, "Oh, and this is his mom and dad!" I said (brightly!) "Yes, we're secondary, I guess. Nice to meet you!" We have a good relationship with ILs, they mean well, but it just irked me. I asked my H since they were coming with us, did that mean they were paying tuition?! Uh, that'd be a no.
Just saw on fb that a coworker has the stomach flu. Which means it's pretty much a guarantee that her mom, who is also a coworker, will also get it. Another coworker, who sits near me, was out with stomach flu Friday. These people better keep their damn germs to themselves.

I am so exhausted.
We're in Florida and spending time with my Mom and her partner. I find it exhausting being around her. Then we had dinner with H's Grandma which went very well but I'm very wary of her because she can be MEAN. I flew here with A on my own (H arrived yesterday), and went to Disney World on Friday.
I need a nap, but apparently we're getting take out Chinese and all eating together. A is being pretty good given that she's exhausted too, but saves her worst behavior for when she's around Mom's partner who actively dislikes children.
Tomorrow we are leaving them and heading to Tampa. I haven't booked a hotel yet.
Oh! And our pellet stove exploded in H's face so our house may still be freezing when we arrive home after the blizzard they are expecting.
This is a lot of whining. We are actually having a mostly good time and A had the best time on the Dumbo ride. Plus everyone is taking the explosion incredibly seriously and they may install the new stove on Wednesday before we get home. Fingers crossed.
I cried in church today because one of the women came up and asked what out plans were for Super Bowl Sunday and asked if I wanted to plan something. Then, someone else came and asked me if I was going to be ok because my company just announced a bunch of layoffs, and she'd been worried about me. I've never really had church friends, and I know you don't go for the other people, but it just felt so good to feel like people care and want to hang out with h and I. And I'm a giant baby that cries at everything, so that didn't help. Haha
I'm trying to come up with my 4th 101 things in 1001 days list. The first half of the list was easy, but now I'm stuck on 58 things.
My husband is taking a nap, which is good, because all morning he was clicking his fingernails together (a new and infuriatingly annoying habit) and if he hadn't STFU, I was going to have to stab him with a fork.
I broke down and took a nap for an hour before diving into all the crap I have to do today and it was a mistake. Now I'm all groggy and bleh. I've been fighting a sinus headache all weekend which doesn't help.

I cleaned all day, finally took a break to take a nice long shower and eat some dinner. I think I'm about to get back up and keep at it with some decluttering. I feel so productive today. Which is good because yesterday I did literally nothing.
I felt really anxious this morning and cleaning with music on really helped. I will have to remember this remedy.
I'm taking a break from unpacking. So.much.shit. Our swing isn't working correctly & Dd is now in a big girl bed, so this would be a perfect time to transition DS to the crib... But I don't wannnnna.
This introvert is needing to find a dark room to sit in. My grandpa is visiting and still staying tonight, ugh, so I have been entertaining all weekend. ILs visited today. My kids are over-stimulating of the senses per usual. We just got back from going out for pizza.
I just want to not have guests in my house. I know that makes me a jerk. My grandpa won't be here forever, but I just want no vistors on a Sunday night. I want to not talk and watch my own tv and lay on my couch.
Now my grandpa wants to visit my work tomorrow. He sort of hinted at staying tomorrow night but I didn't bite on the hint. I am terrible.
