One of my friends is getting married in a few weeks, and I was invited to her bachelorette party. I really didn't think I would be, and I'm all "You like me; you really like me" inside. I'm totally socially awkward, but I really like the other 10 women invited, and so I'm super excited.
My random: I'm having some seriously uptight WASPy drama with my father and stepmother. I am too old for this shit and yet my gut reaction is to go all angsty teenager, tell everyone to fuck off, and run away to Key West to party myself into oblivion.
Awe Steph that is so fun. I hope you have a blast! :-)
I'll hide this here. I have a job interview tomorrow. It's at the same place my last interview was; I didn't apply for another position but they called me to interview for it, since I "did so well" at the last interview. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but it's promising.
Also, I went on a lunch date today with a group of new moms and it was amazing. Lots of firsts. First time driving Andy alone in the car, changing him in a public place, eating out without H to co-wrangle. I was too scared to NIP though, and too ashamed to give him his bottle in front of all the other awesome NIP moms. So I gave him a bottle in the bathroom . only part of the day that felt like crap.

Fingers and toes and everything crossed!
And ((hugs)) for the last part. I'm sure everyone else there was insecure about something. You'll figure it all out.
I do love his "bitch, please" face in your sig.
I feel silly being so excited about the invitation, but I don't have many girlfriends, and this girl and her twin sister are awesome. I'm also going to tell DH that I need a new outfit. He always tells me to go out with friends more so I'm assuming he'll go along with it.
Missussbee - that's great! The first time I met my moms group I felt so much better. And the NIP will feel more comfortable as time goes on.
Here's my random - my parents have given up custody of my nephew. They had had him for 8 years. They basically found out my sister and my dads parents were lying to him about my mom (they hate my mom) and it just was too much for my parents. So he is back with his mom which is actually a bad thing for him but a good thing for my parents (his issues were becoming so major that my parents couldn't handle him anymore). I'm sad. I'll probably never see him again and he was a huge part of our lives.
MB! Good luck! And the first time I NIP, I got an ugly glare from people nearby and I burst into tears. I felt SO self conscious and embarrassed doing it in the first place (Ive always been a very modest person - the kind who won't change in locker rooms or anything) and having people not just notice but notice and glare at me was like my worst nightmare.
Now I've got a cumulative 20ish months of bf'ig experience between the two of them and I'm all "yo, I'm whippin this out and if you don't like it, that's your problem, bitches!!" I totally don't care anymore.
We have an office temp for a few weeks, and I've been training her the last few days on the work I usually do so she can do it, allowing me time for my annual high-pressure and time-sensitive project. Can't wait until tomorrow when she can actually execute what she's been trained on, and I can actually feel the relief.

Fun! I love those unexpected invitations.
Moms groups rock. I know it's a little cliche, but almost 6 years later some of my closest friends are moms I met in my neighborhood family group.
My random: We are on vacation and in a rental house. The woman who owns it is a teacher and travels all summer, renting her house while she's gone. It's a very cute house and we are very comfortable here. BUT her shower curtain liner is a map of the world and for the US the only city designated is DC. Mexico, and all the way down to Panama only have their capital cities designated as well (if at all). Meanwhile, most European countries have at least 2-3 cities marked. Canada, Russia and China have at least a dozen each. It's really annoying me. Irrational, I know, but still very real annoyance.

Apparently my kids hate me when I wear a hoodie.
As I was putting it on, Hunter said " WHAT are you wearing?!" I told him I was a little chilly, so I put a sweat shirt on. He then said " 8-D I don't think so." Yes, with an eye roll.
Then, Amelia refused to nurse while I had it on. After her crying for 40 minutes, I took the stupid sweatshirt off and she stopped crying and nursed.
