I'm totally feeling melancholy about it being my birthday, but not about being 40. I was super pumped about this birthday until my mom died and then, Idk, everything changed.
I never thought I'd miss my mom's incredibly annoying habit of calling me and not talking, just singing "happy birthday".
Blah. I think I need to go to the liquor store. Lol.
As we are walking out the door for school this am dd says "I didn't do my homework" I was like "well that's your problem you were supposed to do it after school" she is all "BUT I WILL HAVE TO STAY IN FOR RECESS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA ITS NOT FAIR" cue me all "Oh well you will learn your lesson for next time"
We are starting our search for a new pup, and we get to meet one on Saturday! We found her through a local-ish rescue, and her foster mom is bringing her over and I can't wait!!!
I deactivated my FB. After Caitlyn Jenner article came out I was shocked and sadden by all the close minded people I had on my feed. I think the worst was from someone reposting a vlog of some guy saying that transgender people are mentally ill and that Catilyn needs help for her sickness.

I'm kinda blah this week. I'm havig a rough time with H's deployment. As far as deployments go, we'll have it pretty easy and at least he didn't miss the baby's birth, but having him gone for that long is hard. I know we're very blessed that this is his first deployment in almost 6 years, but still, I just want him home. I'm trying to figure out how to prepare D for this. Shes old enough to actually miss him but not old enough to grasp how long it is.
I'm really wanting to start losing some weight. I'm 4lbs from pre pregnancy weight, but about 35-40lbs from my ideal. I'm only 4 weeks pp though and I don't know if that's too soon to start doing stuff to get rid of this weight.
somebody on fb posted an article about a city in TN being ranked as one of the top 50 cities for public education in the country. if i understand correctly, the school district shared the article and it's making the rounds through the parents. if, however, you actually read the article, the group doing the ranking only compared 232 cities in the whole country. so, out of 232 cities, they are one of the top 50...but they are sharing this headline that says they are one of the top 50 nationally. i don't care that there is misleading stuff on facebook (and water is wet), but to have it originate with the school district itself is kinda lame.
I am way too tired. I read this as TN being in the top 50 *states* and was like, uhhhh? What a thing to celebrate. Lol

you're allowed to say that this deployment business sucks without all of the qualifiers about how it's not as bad as others have it. it does just plain suck. you're going to kill it, though!! you're going to be great.

I've been up since 330a. I probably should have done a workout when at 430a I realized going back to sleep wasn't going to happen. Instead, I just watched more West Wing. The amount of people I forgot played a role on that show is astounding.
Last night while I was on the app, the first page showed several other forums, one of which was a pro-ana forum. I fell down the rabbit hole of reading a post about what these ladies "eat" on their non-fasting days. It was so sad. And took me back to the things I did during college/law school/mid-20s. I'm actually very surprised that ProBoards would host such a forum.

Thank you :-). I'm just trying to keep things in perspective, but it still does suck. I have something fun planned for each month he's gone, so I'm hoping it will fly by.
My FB feed is pissing me off. I like FB for keeping up with close friends and some family but the amount of vaguebooking-attention whoring- bigotry is sending me over the edge...and all that's from not-so-close-but will cause drama if I unfriend-family members. ERGH! Time to step back!!
I'm having an IUD inserted within the next few days. It's probably going to be painful, and I'm not looking forward to it. And I'm also worried about being one of those people whose body chemistry doesn't seem to mesh with the IUD and have complications. But since my insurance company has decided that they know what is best for my body, and decided not to cover my old form of BC, here I am.
Today is DSs first dental appointment. He's 2.5. I'm worried they are going to yell at me for not taking him sooner but a bunch of people here said all they do is count his teeth. Hopefully no scolding!
I took Julia yesterday to my appointment, she's also 2.5. The RDH talked her through everything she was doing to my teeth. And then at the end she had her sit on my lap and just smile at her, and then open wide. She didn't even stick anything in her mouth. Then the dentist came to look at mine and I held her and she smiled and opened wide again. They were able to tell me that she'll probably need orthodontics because there is no spacing between her teeth so when her bigger teeth move in, they won't have enough room. I had the same issue as a kid so not a surprise. Anyhoo, my dentist prefers to clean starting at 3, and said the difference between 2.5 and 3 is huge.
