Frinday morning randoms

[RoxMonster]

Sick again with a full-blown cold. Ugh. I felt better for not even a week and then got sick again. I think my future SIL may have given me her cold over the weekend. Or I got it from one of the germ-monsters aka students at school. BLAH.

At least House of Cards season 3 is out today! I plan to basically hide out in my house all weekend and binge on it.

[cinderbella]

Go, squirrelymom!

I'm so glad it's Friday - but it's dampened because we are on mandatory OT and I have to work 6-11am tomorrow. And then get in a car and drive three hours to Wisconsin because my Grandpa is sick. I'm being a brat about it and I realize this - but man, I would do anything for two solid days at home with nothing to do except clean and drink wine and watch Downton Abbey.

eta: and House of Cards.

[rex]

waiting to watch house of cards with my h is going to be torture.

at least i have the last 2 episodes of six feet under to watch.

[stellas]

We told the kids about the move last night and they promptly started wandering through the house asking if they could take this or that. It totally cracked me up because I did the exact same thing to my parents as a kid.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

It's the Friday before spring break. I can't imagine what percentage of my students will show up. Even though my intro class has a quiz today. Mean.

[noodle]

This week has been so busy at work. Really good, but busy. My boss asked me to take lead on a project that is in my desired responsibility/job, but not my current one. I'm so excited that she is giving me opportunities to prove I should be promoted after just 2 months in my current role.

But I am so exhausted today and am not looking forward to the projects I have to complete today.

[meggers5]

My work won small business of the year for our area last night. This means bosses will be in a great mood and we'll get champagne.

And that means our clients like us, which is nice.

[ProfessorArtNerd]

Also, lucy and DH are going to the father daughter dance tonight! She's so excited about it, forced maturity of little girls be damned. He even got her a corsage awwwww.

We have to go get him a new dress shirt because his nicest one is tight in the....neck, he says. Yeah ok buddy. Whatever, he needs a new shirt anyhow.

My sister and I are going to check things out at babies r us tonight while they're gone. I'm so excited!!

[underwaterrhymes]

So! I had a dream last night!

I dreamed we had a giant GTG in Vegas. Everyone was there. In my dream I was not pregnant and got happily drunk.

And then I fell asleep. Thankfully not in the cat litter, but in bed.

Some time later I woke up and realized I was very cozy and snuggly. And that is because someone was with me.

And that person was toledo.

She realized I was awake and said, "hi." I said "hi" back because it's the polite thing to do when someone is in bed with you.

Then she said, "don't freak out, but I think we are married." Evidently we had decided we liked each other quite a lot and held hands and Elvis married us as we jumped off the diving board into the pool.

And - sure enough! - we were both wearing very ugly tin rings that said GTG 2015! printed on them with hearts.

And then I woke up. The end.

So, I am still sex dream free, but getting closer?

I gave E pureed beets and pomegranates this morning. He looks like a baby vampire with the red all over him.

Today is H's last day of work at the place he's at right now! WHEEEE! He has Monday and Tuesday off next week and starts his new job Wednesday. I'm nervous that this is all too good to be true, because that just seems to be our luck lately but I'm trying to be positive.

[sequins]

I resisted buying cookie butter yesterday. This is a major achievement.

I'm awake since 4AM with a blocked nose. It sucks!

I'm realising I can type really well in the dark, lol.

[underwaterrhymes]

I liked your post, Tamb, because you got a raise and then tried to unlike it because of the rest of it and it won't let me. yay for the raise and boo for the rest.

[MWOS]

Ever since I got engaged, I've been having the hottest sex dreams ever....about my exes :/

I just woke up from one and I am still all flustered

[sineadorebellion]

New car what?  I'm more excited about this new set of wheels.  I'm really really bad at it but so stoked to learn.  

[candreco]

My office us packing up to move, and the dust is killing me one sneeze at a time.

I am both excited about and horrified by how much dust and fuzz my new vacuum picked up yesterday.

HoC day! I wonder how many episodes I can watch after the kids are in bed and still function the next day this weekend.

[luckyval]

Today is my last day at this job. And the supervisor offered to buy everyone lunch as a farewell thing for me.

I really hate the idea.

I don't even really like most of these people, I've been miserable here and the thought of one last round of forced conversation sounds awful.

But I have to be gracious and professional and I don't WANNA!

This is the best thing ever. 



I really need a haircut and I think I've decided not to dye it after all. After finding my first white hair yesterday I said fuck it. 

I cannot for the life of me find dishes I really like. J and I have been looking at sets for a week and at best I'm like "I don't hate them." I'm considering just going total hipster and looking for some vintage sets in thrift stores because those I like.

[styme46]

I woke up with a pretty killer headache today.

H is going to go see our friend that was in an explosion yesterday. I'm kind of bummed he won't wait until tomorrow so I can go with, but he's taking his other friend with him that is blaming himself so that he can see that everyone is ok and it wasn't really his fault.

So I got that raise beginning with this paycheck- yay!
But the changed H's bonus structure at work and now he's bringing home $100 less per month.
We still come out ahead, but I am just so discouraged.

I liked your post then unliked when I read the second half Ugh.

[pittsmcgee]

I just have to make it to like 9 or 10 tonight then I am freeeee for 3 days. Wooo.

[stellas]

Also, I just ordered the Justified soundtrack. Sometimes I like bluegrass, OKAY?

[Deleted]

Great job squirrelymom, I quit 11 years ago and it was the best decision I ever made. Congrats on the raise @tambcat, I'm so sorry your DH is bringing home less.

PDQ the below..

My DH finally had a job interview and it went well. I'm so excited but trying not to get my hopes up to much. It has been a long 4 years of him "trying to find himself" and as you all know I am literally days from leaving him. He knows this and has promised me and our son that he will get a job. I am anxiously optimistic.

[Alwaysabridesmaidf]

We got word that our bonuses are approved on Tuesday. I am (impatiently) waiting to find out my bonus amount. It's pre-calculated so all my boss has to do is pull it up on the interwebs. Instead she has been playing on her cell phone all morning. I know this because she challenged me on trivia crack.

[lilac05]

My H called on the way to work today, which is unusual. The roads are OK, but there are still slick spots. I missed the call. It's been almost an hour and a half & he's not answering his phone or texts. I sent him an email and haven't heard back yet. I'm starting to get worried.

He was probably just calling to complain about the temp or tell us to have a good day, but my mind is wandering and worrying.

I hate winter.

[CurlyQ284]

I took my dog to the vet for a spa day. She's getting a special bath for her skin (skin cancer, her fur and stuff is falling out). I'm excited to get her back all clean. I've wanted to bathe her for a month but I didn't know exactly how to tackle it. I hope the shampoo helps with her itching. I had doggie pajamas made so she can come out of the kitchen again (she rubs on the carpet and hurts herself)


DH comes home today finally. He asked for a rough schedule for the next two months. They've ignored his email and answered others. He's been on the road for 6 weeks. Thanks a lot boss. He's pretty pissed off and disgruntled.

Tomorrow is spa day! Relaxation for being a single parent for 6 weeks and lugging the pup to all her vets appointments including the specialist 1.5 hours away. Massage, facial and pedicure. I can't wait.

[AHappierHour]

I really want to get my hair done and buy new nice jeans but I've been spoiled so much this week I feel bratty doing it. Tonight and tomorrow night Im going out wih friends for drinks. Im looking forward to it.

[kaybee85]

Congratulations, squirrelymom!

This morning while bfing, Ingrid latched weird, and she injured me! She blocked a duct or something (?) and the way it looked freaked me out.

[eddy]

For fun I decided to try Stitch Fix. I got my first one yesterday and really loved it. I couldn't keep all the pieces because some were expensive. I changed my $ preference and gave her the feedback. But she nailed my style. I made a pinterest page and i think that helped.

So I am going to keep going and see what I get in the next couple months.

Have you heard the bluegrass cd from Ironhorse? They did a full album of bluegrass covers of Metallica songs. It sounds weird but is really good!

We found a bluegrass station on our car radio. Our son loves it so we listen to that often. Thank you so much, namasteak, for the tip about Iron Horse. I just listened to them sing "Rocketman" on youtube. What a fun group!

[eddy]

Oh and we had conferences for Jack yesterday and as usual I feel so torn as to what I need to do for him. I really think he is on the cusp of ADHD. I am scared once we go down the road though we won't be able to go back. And I have mixed feelings about medication at such a young age.

But my doctor is very try everything else but drugs type person so I am going to set up and appointment with her to get started.*

*Don't come in here and tell me this isn't a good place to start. I know my doctor and I trust her judgement immensely. I actually am not even looking for advice. I am just venting.
