Sunday randoms?

Did I miss the thread?

I decided to try crocheting for the first time.
I get 15 chains done and then can't seem to get the second loop done right. Lol. I know I have to keep practicing but damn, I'm at this two hours and feel like a failure doing the same 15 chains over and over.

I drove H's truck today. I have huge anxiety with driving unfamiliar vehicles so I'm proud of myself!

DS and I are having Kraft mac and cheese for lunch, the kind that is three cheese and shell-shaped pasta. It is SOOO much better than the regular kind. I dumbfounded as to how one powdered cheese mix and be far superior to the other, and yet - it is.

No.

I made a super dumb move last night. I poured a hefty glass of wine (like, 1/2 the bottle) because I wanted to relax in bed for a few hours after the kids went to sleep. I set the glass on the window ledge above my bed for like half a second and it tipped over. Of course I spill half a bottle of red wine on my bed when I didn't bother to put a mattress cover on. Of course that's when it happens. I poured hydrogen peroxide on the stain and let it sit overnight, and most of it came out, then baking soda to get rid of the wine smell, so it's all good. I guess it's for the best considering I'm supposed to be on a diet.

This is not really a random, but today my husband's been gone for six years. Don't get me wrong, it's still hard and I miss him like crazy, but I want to tell the newer widows on the board that it still will hurt sometimes, but you really will feel "normal" again. I still choke on "I'm a widow" when someone new asks what my husband does or whatnot, but it really does get easier.

Church was over super fast today.

The kids did awesome and I got to see some friends.

I have this same problem with knitting. I can't get past the first row and if I drop a loop, the whole things falls apart.

I agree. I like the white cheddar Kraft mac and cheese better than the deluxe box. But it still doesn't beat homemade.

I'm drinking a maple blueberry stout. It's delicious.

We forget how much M needs just daddy time, so I sent them away for a daddy-daughter excursion to the park. She was over-the-moon excited. 

I'm making it a goal to remind them at least once a month, but hopefully twice, to go do something with just the two of them.

I've had a surprisingly productive morning and the baby has actually let me get shit done. I made oatmeal in the pressure cooker, made batch of bbq chicken chili (delicious!), prepped the taco stuff for this afternoon, made guac, and steamed chicken wings to be baked and sauced this afternoon. I'm actually looking forward to the game!

I set up a Mint account yesterday and put literally every account on there. It's pretty humbling to see everything in one place, but I think this will be really helpful in keeping us on track. We need to buckle down on savings.

[silva]

Last night was amazing. M was at a sleepover and so dh and I went to dinner and a movie. We saw Hail, Caesar. It was great. Then it was sleep in city! One amazing morning too.

[Bernadine]

I'm stilllll waiting for the second trimester energy I've heard so much about, lol. We went to my dad's cousin's last night. It was great seeing family, but we didn't get home until 1. I'm totally wiped out.

[pandora89]

My roommate left her bedroom door open, and omg it is such a disgusting mess. I am kind of tempted to take a picture but don't want to violate her space like that. But holy crap I don't know how she lives in that mess.

On the other hand, she gave me all the money for the chairs her cat destroyed. Just over 3 more weeks until she moves out. Yay!

[lostrn]

DH and I are having a bad weekend. I'm pissy at him because, well, he's him. And I'm tired of playing nice. So there. He's pissy at me because I'm not getting over his shit and letting it go anymore. On top of all that, I'm in that in between area with a cold. Not quite sick enough to wallow in bed, not quite healthy enough to want to do anything. I just want to be sick enough to wallow and get sympathy or get completely healthy and have energy. We've been invited to a neighbor's super bowl party, DS is beyond excited. It's all he's talked about all weekend. DH is grumpy because he hasn't gotten laid (its your own fault dick!) and now he's complaining about going. I want to go but don't want to deal with waking up at 5:30 tomorrow for work after it. And I don't want to deal with DH whining.

H didn't get home until 4:00 this morning (going away party at a bar then food after). Then he was snoring so I went out to the couch. Then at 7:00, he came out to the couch because he vomited so I went back to the bedroom. Had to kick him off the couch at 8:30 when ds woke up.

Ds woke up with a stuffy/runny nose.

I made pixy's pickle dip this morning so I can eat it during the game. Went to Target, came home and half of it is gone already. That fucker isn't even planning on being home for the game, but ate my game food. Thanks, asshole.

[daisyn]

I'm really sick and my mom just made me chicken soup and brought it over. So good

I had a killer brunch this morning. Now I'm donating platelets. I want to do karaoke tonight and I really hope it's not cancelled because of the super bowl.

We live in an old house (130 years) and spent the morning knocking out plaster in a closet. (So we can drywall and put new shelving up.) We've done one other closet already, and while the end result is awesome, I forgot what a pain in the ass it is to dispose of plaster.

I went out for yummy Mexican food with my book club and watched everyone drink delicious margaritas. This stupid pregnancy makes me miss alcohol so much that I came home and cracked open a bottle of alcohol free wine. It's terrible as I suspected.

I spent a good two hours cleaning up my bedroom today with new curtains and trying out a different rug. It looks nice.

Now it's smooth sailing, some guacamole making, and football watching later.

[1confused1]

The amount of times I have had to tell my daughter to check her attitude is making me very worried for how she is going to act at the party we are going to this afternoon.

[aprilsails]

DD is 5 months old and I finally hung the artwork and properly hemmed the curtains in her nursery, which she has been occupying since Christmas.

The worst part is it only took about an hour total to do everything and I've had the artwork stacked on the floor all along. I'm an idiot. It took longer to put on her crib bumper and to sort and put away all of her laundry and cloth diapers.

I just got finished digging a hole in the back yard. No jury would convict, right?!

I'm glad I'm not the only one missing alcohol. I almost cried when H went to the liquor store for beer yesterday and we walked past all the delicious hard ciders.

[nsl]

I just finished writing the week's lesson plans, H is going to get chili going in a little bit, DS 1 and his BFF are having a good playdate in the basement while DS 2 watches cartoons in our room, the house is clean, I had a great night's sleep last night, and I've finally managed to relax in spite of all of the new-job tension I'm still feeling.

Let's hope it all lasts longer than the next 10 minutes.

I miss donating platelets. They won't let me anymore. For some unexplainable reason, I've fainted twice doing it: once I was still lying on the bed donating, and passed out cold. The other time I got up and left, feeling fine, and 20 minutes later woke up in the ambulance! I still bring them cookies sometimes, though.

Hope your karaoke goes on and you have fun!
