Friday!!! (Randoms)

[isabel]

This week has gone by so slowly. I had to remind myself when I got up at 5 to feed the baby that it's Friday, not Saturday.

Half day at work. I'll probably leave right at 11 today. I'm taking my computer to the Apple Store to get repaired and then H and I are meeting with a financial advisor. We need to get our shit back on track. I still miss our last one who passed away a couple years ago. I've been dragging my feet on finding someone new.

I'm pretty over my whole 30. I'm still doing fine and not cheating, but I'm just bored with it. I want a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.

More adventures with K and his penis.

As I mentioned yesterday, he's discovered it and we are constantly reminding him that it's okay to touch himself, but only if he's alone in his room.

So last night I was putting him to bed and he stuck his hand down his pants and I told him I was going to give him some privacy.

He said, "okay! I want to do that!"

So I left.

And the second I left the room, he yelled, "I'm finished, mommy! I'm the fastest one!"

And then later we had a conversation I thought he was following about how only he is allowed to touch his penis, except for when he's getting cleaned by mommy and daddy and maybe at the doctor's office. It's only HIS penis.

And he said, "it's EVERYBODY'S penis!"

Oh holy shit. I died laughing. I had no idea it started this early.

I normally work 7:30 to 4:30 but yesterday was asked by a supervisor to switch to a later schedule. Which I was totally open and agreeable to yesterday. But now that it is Friday and I'm thinking about having to stay later than usual and hitting rush hour on the way home I'm pretty bummed out.

[vicky]

It's been 4 years since my grandmother passed away. Today hasn't gotten any easier. My heart hurts.

[adlove]

Hugs vicky. Yesterday was 4 years since my SIL's death. I'm sorry. It's so hard.

[FastHands]

DS slept all but 5h of yesterday, but never had a fever, so I thought we were fine. Except he woke up crying at 1am and was burning up. He was at 102.6, which is actually lower than it was the night before, but he was just MISERABLE and so hot to the touch that I thought for sure he was much higher and we'd be headed to the ER. It took 20min to calm him enough to take some ibuprofen, and another 45 with water and cool rags to cool him enough to get back to sleep. Poor boo. He doesn't really have any symptoms other than the fever, which weirds me out a little. Exactly what are you fighting, dude?
Soooo I'm home today.

[pandora89]

Retrieval was yesterday and now I am waiting on the fert report. The wait is agonizing. We didn't get as many eggs as I had wanted so I am kind of freaking out.

I was laid off from my job in 2009 - in 2014 they asked me to come back and I did.  An error has come up on one of my files from 2007 and it's a big deal.  It wasn't 100% my fault, but I do take part of the blame.  I'm freaking out.

[BaliHai]

I was reading the Making A Murderer thread before I fell asleep last night, and I really should not have done that. I was wide awake in an anxiety spiral from like 1-2am.

That + feeling like I just hit a wall last night is making today's drudgery even worse. At least it's Friday!

[joenali]

I've been going to PT weekly since July. I finally get to start going every other week!

[circa1978]

I just realized I have my sweater dress on backwards. My 4YO did a better job getting himself dressed this morning than I did.

[captainobvious]

I've been up since 330. I'd go into work early just for something to do, but I still don't have a computer so I can't even really do anything there.

[eb777888]

Date night tonight!!! I'm more excited about the cucumber jalapeño martinis than I am about the sex!

[silva]

Yay for Friday! I lost 9 pounds!

Boo. I think I'm getting a cold and I left my phone at home for the first time ever. So I feel so disconnected. lolz

eta: OH and DH got a flat tire so we blew $460 towards car repairs. ugh!!!

Thank you for this laugh this morning. I am now facing my day with a smile.

I'm sorry, Vicky big hugs to you today.

K is doing better today. She slept all night, woke up way more chipper than yesterday and has been eating with no issues. Except, now she wants to eat everything and I am not letting that happen, so she is pissed!

Also, now that she is feeling better, she wants to be all over the place and I am still on germ control.

She has a low fever, that could be from dehydration, no? She has that sweet, acetone breath going on too.

[Bernadine]

My sister and I made plans to go to tea today. She canceled on me because she couldn't make it at 11, and I cried actual tears.  

But good news, we're back on for 12.  Lol.

OMG I am glad mine isn't the only one obsessed with his penis. He gets pissed when I tighten the carseat (appropriately tight not choking him tight) and yells "MY PENIS IS HURTING ME". I also thought I had a little while before I had to stop changing in front of him but lately every time I do I get, "Mommy you no have a penis". 

He is also obsessed with nipples. He shows me his nipples every time I change them and then tells me "mommy you no have nipples". When I tell him I do he pulls out my shirt, looks down and then says, "no nipples mommy". I have just decided to let that one go. LOL

I am home with ds today because mil has the stomach bug. I could have sent him to daycare but I had these grand thoughts of sleeping in. He woke up at 6:40 hollering that he needed to go pitty and since we are fresh into potty training, I didn't really feel like I should ignore him. So I was up at 6:40 and the little shit didn't even pee when I put him on the potty. Silly toddler.

[justemily]

*hugs* vicky 

2 guys brought in donuts to work, and I made Buckeye Bars (all the yumminess of Buckeyes but no rolling or dipping!) AND a vendor is buying us pizza for lunch. Glad my pants are stretchy!

I'm going I run away.

I just dealt with a poopocalypse in the bathroom because Sofia forgot to flush the toilet. You don't want to know. Theo and Ilya are sick, so lots of crying and whining going on. I haven't been sleeping because I'm up with Ilya all night long trying to make him comfortable.

I NEED groceries and I absolutely do not want to take the kids with me. I could call mil, but she will want to babysit them at my house, and she always gets into stuff. I mean, she's trying to be helpful, but let's put it this way. Last time I came home to find that she took my huge area rug out of my living room (which was under my couches, so those were moved all over the place), slung it over the railing on the front porch, and started beating on it with a broom. Then she took the full sized broom and started to sweep the snow off the car. The time before that I caught her cleaning behind my toilet. So.

Ugh.

[karenj]

I was so hoping to have a snow day today.  None for us.  I hope everyone in the path stays safe.

I sound like a broken record but H is a dick.

[blondemoment123]

I have the cold from hell. I just want to go home!

[amberlyrose]

The only problem with living in a studio is when H and I fight late at night, I have nowhere to go. I guess I could go in the bathroom? lol.

I had a shit day yesterday and I know I'm PMSing, so I'm trying to avoid the world today.

[noodle]

I facilitated an all-day training for managers yesterday; it went well but kicked my butt.  I was already getting sick, and a whole day of being on my feet, talking, and being "on" was so exhausting.  I'm working from home today since I'm still not feeling well.  My boss emailed this morning to tell me not to work too hard, and to say she fully endorsed me getting at least one nap while I work from home. 

I took that that as an invitation to run to the grocery store in hopes of doing a pre-storm shopping trip before the store got too crazy.    Now I have salsa chicken in the crock pot, ingredients to make beef stew tomorrow, and am on the couch, in pajamas, trying to motivate myself to complete my annual review.

Ugh.

Is there a save on foods anywhere close? Shop online for groceries and have them delivered, seriously.

Why didn't I know about this?!? I'll do it next time. I took them all to superstore and omg it was a disaster.

Eta- just checked and they don't do it in my area. Bullshit.

[luckyval]

Hart got a nice goose egg while sledding.

And a piece of siding fell off in the storm last night. Blech. Gotta make a claim Monday morning.

[sparkythelawyer]

Fucking Grubhub lost my fucking lunch order. They gave me a refund, along with a heaping side dish of "Why this isn't really their fault." Color me Hangry.
