Are we not randomizing today?
Today at some point I'm going to pick up paint from Sherwin Williams. H is going to paint my office either this weekend or next. Here we come, Dignity Blue!
Any fun plans this weekend? We MIGHT be going to the Tigers Angels game Monday if our friends can get a babysitter. On Saturday I'm making a favorite meal: crockpot ribs, potato salad, grilled corn, and probably cornbread and angel food cake with strawberry sauce. Yum.
I just picked up all my stuff for my summer Biology class. $300! Fucking scam. I'm a little nervous about the compressed course load over 8 weeks, but at least I am able to complete all of the assigned labs in our kitchen, so that's good. I also got my final grade for my history class last semester and still keeping my 4.0 GPA! Until this class subsequently sinks it LOL.
We have no plans. Which is ok with me b/c I'm miserable still from my skin issue. Maybe some day I won't feel like my entire body is a mosquito bite. Maybe.
Trump is down the block from my job. There are freaking cops everywhere. The homeless people are being disrupted and shuffled to god knows where. It's not a good scene downtown SD right now.

Today is our 10 year anniversary. As cheesy a song as it is, these lyrics sum up my feelings today...
Love isn't easy And it's not always kind Sometimes you only have to Make up your mind That you can make it And you can make it I know I made it By keeping the best part of me
Our 5 year old is a steroid-induced maniac who's trying to regain his vision in one eye. Our 10 month old has never slept through the night. I'm on Day 13 of bleeding so heavy that I feel like I'm in a fog and have a biopsy in 2 hours. Our house is a slovenly disaster. And our 3 year old is lost in the shuffle. But, dang, does this man step up to the plate and work hard to keep us all together. He is the best thing about me.

DH has been grumpy for days because his back hurts. He's driving me insane. His problem is that he needs to lose weight, but he does so little to lose the weight. Case in point, the can of Coke he drank before breakfast.
pantsparty what degree are you going for? Sometimes I contemplate changing fields altogether.
Just a business administration degree. I only have a handful of credits, though, so right now it's like I'm taking high school all over again. LOL.
ETA: I really don't need a degree for what I'm doing (sales). However, I know there are some lucrative sales fields I really can't get into without a degree, so I feel like pursuing it is the prudent thing to do.

I am frustrated. I got offered the MOST perfect job for me, but then they WAY lowballed me despite the range being 20k from bottom to top. I expected to get offered somewhere in the middle, not the very very bottom. It's 10k less than I currently make, which is just not acceptable because I currently do not make very much (hello, I work in non-profit). I had WAY more experience and education than they required. I came back with a more reasonable offer and they declined it. Their loss. I have tremendous work ethic and background in this field and I am worth WAY more than what they were offering. I wouldn't even be able to pay my student loans, house payment, and car payment with what they came at me with. No thanks.
I'm so happy to have an extra day tacked on to the weekend. And this is the 1st weekend in a REALLY long time where we are not over-scheduled. Looking forward to some down time. We're planning to finish up landscaping stuff like spreading mulch and planting the annuals but I'm going to encourage H to be a little lazy too!
I realized today that I really only have 1 pair of jeans to wear (we wear them on Fridays) and I think I'm just going to keep wearing these until they fall apart because I don't like jean shopping!

Happy Friday! I'm at work while H is at home with a puking Lucy - poor thing. Her fever jumped to 103 and she threw up water (while she was going to the bathroom. LOL) so he's trying to get her to keep some ibuprofen down.
BUT it's not all bad news because this means I get to stay home with her this weekend while H and Molly go up to the cabin. Yes, a puking and sick kid is better than being cooped up indoors with my in-laws. (Weather is supposed to be shit)
I am at work until 1:00. Then we are packing up and heading to the cabin. We are planning on talking with the owners of that resort again this weekend to iron out the details of the contract because she told us one thing the last time we talked to her, but the realtor is telling us something else. If she is going to stick with the terms we got from her, then I am 99% sure we are going to do it. isabel, do you and your h want to be our partners? lol. Seriously, though, the deal is too good to pass up if she is willing to stick to the terms she told us a couple weeks ago.
I'm hoping to get some fishing in, and I'm hoping some of the roads we like to explore will be open. I also want to take the kids on a hike. I'm sure we will ride the four wheelers and I'm hoping it will be nice enough to have a fire outside at least one night.
I had an ultrasound this morning and got to see my little boy again. He's all curled up in a ball, resting on the right side of my ute, and is totally adorable. But it explains why there is one side of my belly that is always more hard and twitchy. He has his feet over his head, and keeps grabbing them with his hands, so everything is bunched up on my right side.
I just logged off from work, and am now taking the next 3 1/2 days off!! So excited to rest and relax. I'm feeling so much better than I was at the beginning of the week, and am looking forward to getting stuff done around the house this weekend. H is going away for the weekend to a wedding. My doctor didn't want me to fly, so I was originally going to head up to Boston on Amtrak to stay with my parents. But since I've been having contractions, my doctor asked me to stay in town. So my sister is here to baby sit me while H goes away, and we have a weekend of shopping, manis/pedis, and relaxing planned!
H really wants a kick in the dink. That is really the only reason I can think of as to why he's acting like a complete prick.
I have 1 billion things to do before sofia's birthday party tomorrow afternoon and he's off in the only vehicle that will fit all of the car seats, so I'm stuck at home. I have to order fucking cupcakes, do all the grocery shopping, make gift bags, clean, etc, and where is he? Off pulling out trees or some stupid shit for some guy he knows. Go ahead, ask me if he's done one single thing to help? NO.
On top of that, he's been coming home and nitpicking over the dumbest.fucking.shit. I just want to strangle him. I can't even look at his face.
H was driving to his job site and there was a black snake in the road, so he pulled over to try to move it. But then it moved towards him, so he screamed and got back in his truck. At least he didn't kill it? Lol.
We're having a date night tonight, h and my dad are working on putting a bench in our mudroom tomorrow. I'm hoping to get my window boxes planted. Sunday is a surprise party for MIL, and Monday my parents are having a cookout, and we'll be celebrating DSS's bday.
We just got the call that our nursery furniture is being delivered next Friday. FINALLY! Now hopefully I don't go into labor before then.
Life sucks. We're all going to die. Everyone is nasty and angry.
But it's FRIDAY, yo!!
I have to work all weekend. And "enjoy" family gtg's during slow times. Wheee- what a holiday weekend!
OOT friends are staying tomorrow night; we're their hotel when their whole family comes into town. (I'm friends with her mom, too, & she's always very sweet when asking. The bro's & their wives take all their guest rooms.) They pay us in booze, so it works out! It's just gonna be a challenge to stay up & hang with them.
TGIF! H is picking up L tonight and taking her to swim, and then at bedtime they are leaving for his parents' house - they are going down the shore tomorrow morning and staying until either Sunday or Monday. I'd prefer they come home Sunday, but I know H really wants to stay until Monday, so we'll see. And then my BFF is coming over tomorrow to sleepover, which will be a blast, annnnd on Monday I think we're going to visit my parents. It should be a good long weekend, assuming this work day ever ends.

'camping' tonight (trailer not tent, 15 min drive from our house)
tomorrow probably swim at the campground in the morning with DS then we have to be downtown for drinking pedal bike tour for a co-worker's birthday- in 90 degree heat. DS will stay at the campground with my parents, it is yet unknown if I will be sober to go back
the only plan for sunday is Game of Thrones
Monday is the annual town parade that goes right by our street so we have to get spots early for people and provide parking for them at our house, which means i can park my Jeep on the front lawn. then we sit and bake in the sun for 2 hrs.
hopefully I can get my dad's tiller from my brother so I can get the vegetable garden started at some point.

I'm going to have fun tonight if it kills me, since we're all going to die, right, Lila?
Fun will entail:
Sitting my ass on my deck. Food like chips, pizza, and the like. Maybe adult beverages, maybe not. Definitely Sam Cooke. Then watching a scary RedBox movie. THEN, crawling into bed with the windows open, A/C off, breeze coming in, falling asleep to the night sounds.
I am frustrated. I got offered the MOST perfect job for me, but then they WAY lowballed me despite the range being 20k from bottom to top. I expected to get offered somewhere in the middle, not the very very bottom.

Dude, that sucks. And is pretty insulting. My impression is that you're not only stellar at what you do, you're fun as hell to work with. Blah to them for missing out on you!
