You've got to be shitting me. This is the second time in 2 weeks that Starbucks has given me a hot chocolate instead of a mocha. WTF? Does no one there know how to make a fucking mocha? /rage
And our hot water heater isn't functioning properly after a pipe sprung a leak in our basement yesterday and I am just crossing everything imaginable we don't need a whole new one.
Bright spot: Today is my last day of work for 2.5 months!!!
Last night we had a painter come an give us a quote to paint the two 'kids rooms' in our house. We moved in last sept and H and I have really been putting it off. Its pretty obvious that we aren't going to get to it ourselves. It's will be kind of pricey but fuck it! I want it done!
My plan for today consists of doing one billion loads of laundry. When people said having a kid increases your laundry, they weren't kidding! I need a new plan because my old one of doing everything on the same day is clearly not going to work any longer.
DH's grandparents are coming on Monday to meet the baby. They'll be here for two weeks. We are so excited!

Lucys birthday is today. She's now seven. I woke her up, all excited, and said, "now you can show your age on two hands instead of just one!" "Mom? That was last year, see?" And she held up six and then seven fingers.
Recital tonight!! The only down side is I have to deal with my mother being there. My plan is to give her the ticket for the seat furthest from mine, heh.

I am thrilled it is Friday but not thrilled about this head cold I developed. However, this head cold may get out of a baby shower I don't want to go to tomorrow.
I think I am having sushi for lunch as reward for surviving this week.
We went to our rental house yesterday to survey the damage and we are going to have to hire professional cleaners to come in and clean everything since they smoked inside even though they weren't supposed to. The carpet is ruined in the whole house so we are going to have to rip it all out and replace it. We will have to patch a ton of holes in the walls and fix some places where the tenants tried to fix holes and did a shitty job. We will have to repaint once the cleaners are done because there is marker/crayon all over the walls. We need to replace two door jams from where someone very obviously tried to or actually did kick the doors in. They spray painted something onto one of the shelves in the master closet and on the wall in the garage.
Plus, I don't know if you guys remember the issue I had with the foundation in that house right after I got divorced and I had to have the entire living room, dining room, and entry way floors torn out and repoured.....well, I'm pretty sure the foundation is cracking again.
I told h that if the foundation is cracked when we pull the carpet up, we are selling that pile of shit. I don't want to deal with that issue again. It was a nightmare the first time around, I can't even imagine how it will be the second time around.
I'm done. I cannot handle any more. No more deaths, no more shit luck with this stupid house, no more sick kids. I'm done.

Bummer on the mocha. I might have missed it, but are you doing anything special with your 2.5 months off?
I sound marginally better today than I did yesterday, but my voice still keeps randomly giving out, so that's fun. At least having to be on the phone yesterday afternoon wasn't as disasterous as I'd been expecting.
Why am I always extra tired when L STTN? She slept from 8-5:30 in her crib last night for the first time in two or three weeks, then dozed in bed with me until 6, but I'm so tired I feel like I'm going cross-eyed.
We're not doing anything this weekend, and that's boring. I might pull out L's baby pool that we bought her last year and have that take up some of our weekend... I also just remembered I need to buy my nephew's Christening outfit, so maybe I can get my sister to get her butt in gear and go this weekend.
It's the 50th anniversary of DS's school so they're doing a bunch of special events at the end of the school year - last night we went to an appreciation picnic and this morning starting at 730 they have a pancake breakfast. My mom and DS LOVE pancakes so she wanted to take him this morning - fine, good, wonderful! DH will meet my mom half way and drop him off with her. Well, last night around 930ish I was in the middle of writing price reduction letters that need to be sent out today and DH turned to me and suggested that we both go to drop DS off and then DH will drop me off at work so that he can pick up DS this afternoon, then they will pick me up, and then be on our way to the cabin. Really H? You suggest this at 930 at night when I'm working, have no bags packed, need to do a load of laundry, and I haven't finished our meal plans for this weekend. Logistically it makes sense, but really? So here I am at work 1.5 hours early and I'm exhausted. But is should (hopefully) be a good weekend!

Happy Birthday L!!
My friend did a tea detox and it really helped her lose weight. She did to eat right and excerise too. But she said it helped with the sugar cravings and bloat. I bought it and I'm starting it today. the last 10 lbs I have to lose have been so hard to get rid of. :/

We have a dept manager that needed to be fired two years ago. My boss hates confrontation, so we all have to put up with her. At our manager meeting this week I snapped at her. She was being such a bitch and trying to make someone else look bad. So I snapped at her and she didn't say another word the rest of the meeting.
My boss took me aside yesterday and told me that if I wanted to unleash any rage (her exact words) at crappy manager she and everyone else here would be 100% behind me. I would have everyone's total support if I wanted to let her have it.
She looked really hopeful. I am fucking pissed at her next level lack of professionalism. Fire her. Don't ask me to go yell at her and hope that solves the problem. I'm getting angry again!
We are in Cozumel today. I can take it or leave it. We're going to a resort today So hopefully it will be nice. Free booze! So that's a plus, but it's hot as balls. Bleh.

What kind of tea is it? I'm on the same train with these last 5-10 pounds that aren't budging despite diet and exercise. I know there's no easy way out, but if something can boost my efforts, I'll try it.

My parents are meeting BF's parents on Sunday. I keep thinking about how awkward it will be and laughing.
Why will it be awkward?
They're just very, very different from one another. BF and I keep trying to think of common ground for conversation and we're like...."they're both parents." lol
This farmers market thing I've been trying to organize for the past 8 months is finally coming together - at least with vendor interest. Let's hope the customers take notice.
I made my DietBet goal this morning! I'm in my "fancy" jeans that I didn't think twice about buying (3 pairs) when I was kid-free and skinnier. I do hope I don't get audited though because I ate a ton of pickles this morning. oops.
Graduation for my boys tonight They are so excited though. They have been practicing their songs for months. No on slept last night- the storms were SO LOUD. I feel hungover.
Congrats on meeting your goal!
You are in DFW right? The storms were so loud, I feel like shit this morning too! Plus I have just gotten into lifting weights at the gym with my friend so I'm SO SORE, so I would hear thunder and try to roll over and want to die, lol.

Thank you!
Yes! They were insanely loud last night. I feel like the other nights were just more of a light show but this was house-shaking! It looks like we are getting a break on Sunday. I'll believe it when I see it.
