Good Morning it's Friday!

Randoms anyone?

I went to Ikea last night with my client/friend and realized, in ~2 months, I'll be doing TWO new kitchens! (Duplex closing is Oct 30th.) We have been so busy that we sort of forgot we were closing so soon. Eeekk!

Meeting with our builder and realtor today to discuss the floor plan of our new home and lots. I'm beyond excited and probably will get no actual work done today!!!

[mrsemilys]

So exciting for both of you! Movers finish loading today and we close on Tuesday. Crazy that everything happened so fast. I'm ready to be done with this part of the process.

Warning it's more of a vent but H is pissing me off!! He's stressed out with work and the baby and just life. He keeps picking the stupidest fights with me...his 35 week pregnant wife!!! Last night he threw a fit over maternity pictures and made them miserable so I'm sure those will be awesome. Everyday is something stupid. Please tell me it's my hormones

I'm feeling pretty good a little achey and tired but that's to be expected

I'm stuck at home today because my 2 year old threw up last night. He seemed fine before & is acting fine today. Not sure what was going on. We were supposed to get together with friends tonight. Haven't seen them in far too long, and now it'll be longer.

I've got lots of cleaning and bill-paying to do today, then hopefully putting up some fall decorations.

Hoping and praying our open house goes well this weekend & we finally sell our house!

DO NOT piss off the pregnant lady DH!
35 weeks! Wow! So close!

I'll commiserate. My DH pissed me off this morning. I was talking to my DD1 about going to her cousin's 7th birthday party in Indy (my sister's daughter) OR a school skating party.
My daughter said she didn't want to go to the birthday because her cousin is mean to her and calls her "Old mean her name". I walked away to the bathroom and I hear my husband whisper to her "Don't worry, Cousin is a weirdo anyway." 

AYFKM?? I yelled at him and told him I heard him. He said, "well, she is!" Thing is, my niece is an early developer. Like REALLY early. She's obviously dealing with a lot of hormones and body changes that other kids her age are not dealing with (and won't deal with for a long time) and it makes her seem strange. This happened to my sister and it was REALLY hard on her. My parents were not great about it. It has affected her negatively her whole life and she's always had self-esteem issues and body insecurity. She and her husband are being proactive talking to my niece, explaining and being understanding. My DH knows this.

So, after my DH said "we'll, she is!" I BLEW UP and then he gave me an insincere apology, so I blew up again and he finally realized what a completely wrong and horrible thing it was to say and gave me a real apology. Well, not good enough asshole because how my DD1 is going around saying Cousin is a weirdo! I don't like her!

I debating taking my DD2 to Indy for the party and leaving him with DD1 here.

My youngest, turns 3 in about a week, started calling me "Big Moms." He got a laugh from the older boys and so he keeps doing it. One moment I think it's funny and the next I want to put him in timeout, but I don't have a good reason for that.

My house random/rant is that I'm the only one who cleans the toilets in my house. I've been swamped at work for about a month and so I tried to just let it go and see how long my DH would let the toilet (and whole bathroom, but that wasn't that dirty compared to the toilet) go with a gross main 4 boy/man toilet... it was 12 days before I broke down and cleaned it again. Really?!

Oh and congrats on the house closing and choices meetings bunnymendelbaum and krisim.

So sorry!  Hope he comes to his senses soon!

Good morning!

We let Squirrel out of confinement, finally, and he's starting to adjust, but BOY HOWDY the howling and growling over the last two days has been intense.
I'm spending the day today working, then cleaning up the massive pile of mail I accrued in the last six weeks. It's astonishing.

This weekend we are donating blood and there is absolutely nothing else on the agenda. I'm looking forward to spending the weekend in my pajamas on the couch doing absolutely nothing.

I would desperately love to get our nursery in usable shape soon, since I am due in 6 weeks.  But it is currently overrun with furniture:  her crib, a glider & ottoman, end table, diaper pail, and the double bed that my parents have said they want but haven't picked up yet.  (The room used to be our 2nd guest room.)

I think they think that as long as they get it before she's born it's all good.  IT'S NOT!  I want it out of there so I can order the dresser (which there isn't currently room for).  I am getting really annoyed because

a) I want to buy up our Amazon registry (which it's on) with our completion coupon, and I don't want to keep waiting on EVERYTHING... but yet no place to put the dresser now.

b) I want something to store all the hand-me-down clothes that we have (other than Trader Joe's bags all over the floor)

c) I'm having trouble picturing what size/shape I want for wall art/photography because the room is currently such a shit show and I can't get a sense for proportions.  

I'm so annoyed at being held up on all of this because they can't be bothered to either say "forget it" or "we'll come get it" re: the bed.  (If we move it to the garage, I'm sure they'll take that as a sign that taking it can be put off indefinitely so that isn't a real solution.)  Grr.
