My 10th is coming up in june AND WE ARE GOING TO PARIS. I finally managed to convinced DH. Well, he casually enrolled my (ex future ex) SIL to come for the weekend to help my mom watch the kids. Because my mom alone with the three was a dealbreaker for him, lol. She is a bit spazzing, but we survived, right?
Happy anniversary Toledo! I've only been married just a year and already Ive forgotten which day it was twice. Heh. H took yesterday off to go to the dentist and orthodontist, and when he got to work today he found out he has an interview for a promotion he had applied for, so he texted me at work asking me to bring him some clothes. I was irritated for about the 10 minutes it took me to walk out to my car, but then I remembered that I'm irritated with basically my whole team, and now I'm at target. Lol.

DH is leaving for a business trip tomorrow through Wednesday - to Cancun. And all he does is complain. I have zero sympathy. LOL.
Kids are at their dad's this weekend so it's just me and the doggie. My poor dog is not doing well. He is 14 1/2 so I know that is old but it's so hard to see him start to struggle. It's been a rough week and my kids are devastated that we need to start thinking about the end for the dog. My younger son is especially attached to the dog and is really having a difficult time with this. UGH.
Nattie's anxiety about her birthday is at a 10 this morning. She was going on and on about what if I forget to come to school today, or what if the kids say my hair is stupid (LOL), and she doesn't know what to expect, etc. I hate that she has inherited my anxiety issues. I think she's going to have such an amazing weekend though. I can't wait!
It sucks so hard seeing your kid struggle with anxiety. We just did the workbook, What to Do When You Worry Too Much, with my DD, and I am noticing a huge difference in her behavior and confidence since finishing it. It might be worth a shot going though and doing it with N. You can read it out loud and then there are little drawing activities for her to do. It teaches kids different ways to handle their worries, and honestly, it was a good refresher for me too. It was $12 on amazon.

I used this book with a student and it worked SO well.
did i ever tell you about how we missed our 9th year of marriage altogether? dh and i both spent two whole years telling people that we had been married 8 years. when we went to do something for our 9th anniversary, the math didn't work out and we discovered we were actually celebrating 10 years.
What are the chances, do you think, that I'll be able to avoid Greys spoilers on social media? I know a major character was killed off and I have an idea as to who it was but I don't know details.
I don't want to go back home tonight! This has seriously been the best vacation ever.

I'm on day three of thirty days wearing a cardiac event monitor (no biggie - standard procedure), and I'm ready to rip the electrodes off and dump the whole thing in the garbage. It iiiiiitchessssss, and beeps at me if I walk more than 10 feet away from the phone that it transmits to. I have it clipped to my bra, and it keeps confusing me why my boobs are beeping.
I ended a 30 year friendship yesterday. It was ugly, and probably a long time coming, but I'm really sad about it.
Today is the 12th anniversary of my first date with DH. I know this because apparently, I posted about it on FB 6 years ago, and FB just told me I posted about it. lol
I was liking the date anniversary, not the friendship break-up.
I'm home from my conference. It was really nice. I had some time to shop, took a run from my hotel to the beach, and since I was in CA, it felt like I got an extra hour to sleep in the mornings. I mean, there was tons of work, but it wasn't crazy stressful like some shows can be.
I've come to the unfortunate conclusion that I feel so much better when I don't drink. Fewer headaches, sleep better, etc. and the impacts just seem to be getting worse as I get older. But I like tasty booze! I like being buzzed! I don't want to abstain. Siiiiiigh.
I've identified my least favorite household task: Opening a new jar of natural peanut butter & mixing it up. It stinks. It's juicy and sloppy. Gross! It makes me re-think buying the healthier version.
I'm making 45 guitar soaps. My first batch went gross because my husband accidentally put them in the basement without thinking...I had half of them made!
