Tell me all the random things!
I couldn't remember what day it was. I had to check my phone because I couldn't remember if today was Tuesday or Wednesday. Thank god it is Wednesday.
I work at a new worksite. They keep shipping me computers and laptops but don't send return shipping labels. I'm *still* trying to get a FedEx account. I'm now swimming in extra machines and no one seems to care if they get returned.
I'm hungry. I've already eaten all my breakfast. Lunch is very far away.
I wanted to shake one of the carpool ladies this morning. I was talking about my friend telling me she's pregnant (with the alcoholic jerky husband) and she was "at least-ing" everything.
Me: He's been an alcoholic long before they got married. Her: At least he's coming home. Me: He's not always making it home and when he goes on binges he's useless for days. Her: At least he's home when he's useless. Me: She always wanted kids until she met him and then she suddenly didn't want any of her own. I can't imagine he's going to suddenly want kids and stop acting a fool. Her: At least they're having sex.
Carpool girl is a great person, but she's caught up in a really awful relationship that she won't leave because "it's just easier" to stay together so she doesn't have to split time with the kid. They've broken up millions of times and she always takes him back. The last time she moved out, she went back because "he got a good job and a new truck, so I figured he was a better guy." What??

You are a million times better a person than I am. I'd probably snap at her.
It's dumb. Kid's potty training is really getting to me and to top it off someone rummaged through my car last night. They stole my change, my emergency Tylenol, and a thing of baby wipes (lol).

Uh, not dumb. The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago. The car thing, not the potty training thing, lol. I was SO incredibly pissed. It's such a violating feeling.

Not dumb. Potty training is a pain in the ass, especially when it's not going as you hoped. I hope your car wasn't damaged

I've tried to nicely tell her she's being ridiculous. She's all concerned her kid is going to be messed up if she moves out (again). I told her that 1. kids are resilient 2. two happy parents in separate households are healthier than two miserable parents in the same household...blah blah blah.
It makes me sad that people can't see life is too short to be miserable like this. It also makes me really glad I'm A-Okay single and not dealing with this stuff just so I'm not alone, kwim??

Potty training DS was a nightmare. A complete freaking nightmare. He just didn't want to cooperate, no matter what I did (or how much I bribed him). It took a very long time and I remember talking about it at work and feeling so awful that I couldn't get him to buy into the whole thing...it made me feel like a crappy parent. My supervisor took me aside and assured me that he'd get it when he was ready, to stop beating myself up about it because everyone learns differently and at different times and lastly, she assured me that no kid goes to kindergarten in diapers!
Hang in there...I swear the kid will get it and this will all make for funny stories (in a few years )

Thanks. It's just the pooping. He gets so embarrassed about it and fights having to go for days. Until he can't hold it any more. Then it's so much worse for him. I feel so helpless.

We had to take DD to the ER because we thought she had appendicitis. Turns out, she was only pooping enough to stop the "HAVE TO POOP!" sensation and wasn't pooping completely. The docs put her on miralax and told us it's normal, it's a control thing--they withhold until they can't anymore, then it hurts to poop so they try and hold it.

Oh, I totally get it. Although, I think I was that way with XH. I was so miserable and didn't realize that life could be a bazillion times better! Getting divorced really opened my eyes.

Pooping was much harder (pun intended?!?) than peeing for DS too. It was a really similar experience for my DS. I swear to you, one day it's just going to click for him!
Sidenote, this was the period of my life where I knew the words to every book/song about pooping!

He will grow out of it, I promise. {{HUG}}
We're on daily miralax already.
I know this is so common. I feel crappy that I'm having a hard time not being overwhelmed by it.
I got a nice long walk in this morning, but I'm just feeling completely drained now. Struggling to stay awake and craving a diet coke.
I saw my psychiatrist yesterday and told her I'm still struggling with mood swings. I was also honest with her about my drinking and misuse of xanax. She suggested a new version of Abilify, but we ultimately settled on Topamax (in addition to the Lexapro). I'm happy about it I'm also not going to tell H that I'm starting it. Which makes me feel weird...he thinks I need to use exercise and diet to fix my depression, and I'm tired of arguing about it. It's a bit more than a white lie, but I think my conscious can handle it.
partiallysunny, my youngest brother had very similar issues. I'm 11 years older than he is so I distinctly remember the angst my entire family experienced about one damn little person's bowel movements. It was ridiculous. Rest assured, he poops just fine now.
Getting my hair done today. My hairdresser assures me she can preserve my highlights while still fixing my roots. I have an overall dark brown color over my natural mousy brown with some blond highlights throughout. I NEED to the dark touched up because grey is showing through but I don't want to lose my highlights because I lurve them. I will update everyone on the results as I know you'll all be waiting on pins and needles to hear about my hair. ;-)
