Well that sounds like a horrible start to your day!
Ugh, L is still crying at drop off, and it's getting worse instead of better. I hate this. Child, it's the same daycare you loved for months and would walk into without even saying goodbye to me, please adjust!
Ummm my husband suprised me yesterday. we are going to Vegas this weekend and seeing MISS TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!!!
My mind is so blown. I had no idea. I love her, but didn't even consider that tickets would be an option. I am not good at spending money on myself. He booked it all on Monday on a whim lol. Booked the dog, arranged childcare etc.
His younger coworker told him he needed to tell me asap so I had time to shop. THANK GOD FOR HER. So anyways I am running to target soon as I have been living in athleisure for the last couple months. Then maybe to fancier places this afternoon to fill the gaps.
I can't believe I get to go on a little trip! We haven't been away just the two of us since 2021. I was only away from the kids twice in 2022. Mama needs a break!

Joey has been doing this really not fun thing where he falls asleep in his dinner, literally. Sleeps for hours and hours and then wakes up when i'm ready to go to bed. I'm so tired. He's also constantly wanting to nurse, stilllllll, at 18 months. Leave me alone, punk!
This may be TMI, but my pee has been pink for the last two days. I finally googled this morning and the top results said that pink pee with no other symptoms can be a sign of bladder or kidney cancer and to see a doctor.
After sitting with that knowledge for an hour or so, I went back and read to the end of the article.
Long story short, the cause is almost definitely the entire tray of roasted beets that I've been eating since Monday. LOL.

Never trust Dr Google.
I was going to say kidney stone, haha, but beets are always the culprit for me!
I have been having kind of a hard time working this week. I think I would probably benefit from taking a day off - but don't know exactly what our plans are for the rest of the year so I'm hesitant to burn a vacation day on nothing. We do have "professional development days" we can use and I have a lot of schoolwork to do at some point, so I guess I could see about taking one of them to do that. What I really want to do is just have a whole day where I have nothing I have to do and nothing hanging over my head that needs doing. Is that a thing when you're an adult?

Yes, it's a thing. My favorite day was last fall when we had our panel swapped out for a bigger one and I had like 4 hours of no power while the electrician worked. I took the dog for a walk and then read on our screened porch with my kindle and a blanket until he was done. It was absolute bliss.
I did order an umbrella and stand yesterday for the pool, so check that box. I'm going to order rugs today from overstock for the kitchen.
I bought these new Oxfords for work about 6 months ago. Super cute. Felt okay out of the box. But since then they've felt soooooooo tight on my foot. I've been so disappointed, but kept wearing them in the hopes they'd stretch out.
Would you like to know when it occurred to me I could just loosen the laces all the way down and that doing so would make them more comfortable?
Also, I just read a book by an Australian author, but the stories takes place in NYC and London and the vocabulary between her Australian, America, and British was all over the place. It's 4 epilogues, but the NYC one was talking about removalists, but should have said movers, etc.
We had a town hall for the tech part of our org put on the calendar with about an hour's notice today. I have a feeling they're going to make us go back to the offices 1 day a week. Which isn't terrible, but I really don't wanna lol
I’m tired of the newest dog crying when she hears my husband leave for work at the crack of dawn and waking me (and the other dogs) up. We get up and then she immediately goes back to sleep and I’m awake for the day for no reason.
Is it unreasonable to ask my husband to climb out a window so she can’t hear the door? It’s only a few foot jump. He’s spry.
My son got high honors for the 2nd trimester and there was a breakfast this morning for the kids and the families. They call them up to give them their pins and awards and everyone claps nicely. Then they all stand for applause. It’s so nice to see them all beaming with pride. We live in a very sports focused area and I love seeing kids celebrated for different strengths.

Work is an even bigger shit show today, but I saw that coming.
DS got time out at school for the first time ever yesterday. I'm proud of how he handled himself though. He took his punishment without tears and even made sure to personally apologize to both teachers this morning for not being respectful. My boy is growing up 🥺
I’m tired of being the one who has to make all arrangements/plans for everything in my house. So tired.
Saaaaame. I just updated the shared calendar with the final rehearsal schedule for DD's spring musical, DS's spring session art class, and various other events, and I know I'm going to be the one figuring out all of the carpools, meals that work around the craziness, fitting in my own commitments, and generally making sure everyone stays alive and the house is taken care of because DH is going to be out of town for at least some if not all of that. My brain is full, just at capacity for keeping track of details and times and tasks.
Meanwhile I can't get DH to text his sister about visiting them for a couple of days over spring break. To be fair, he's been traveling a lot for work but dude, I need you to get to the stuff at home at some point too.
My cousin and her husband have been visiting my mom for a week. They been out every day doing tourist stuff. This is the happiest I've seen her in 10 years. Her crazy Trumper sister couldn't make the trip and piss on everyone's plans so they've been having a blast. It's been nice for me to have a break from being mom's sole entertainment; I'm not much of a cruise director.
We have three weeks until DS1’s next orthodontist appointment and I’m hoping we’ll find out if he needs surgery on his jaw. If he does, then we need to move some things around for the beginning of the summer to accommodate his recovery. I obviously really really don’t want him to need surgery. He needs to get his wisdom teeth out anyways but I don’t want the additional jaw surgery and I just want to know what I can plan and it’s making me anxious.
UGH. I have hives everywhere and I AM SO FREAKING ITCHY
I got an Rx for steroids' yesterday and I already took two Benadryl. At work. My forehead is going to end up on my keyboard but it's better than scratching all my skin off.

Same here. I will never not be bitter/disappointed that there will never be another surprise in my life for as long as I live because if I don't plan it, it doesn't happen. But the every day stuff is also annoying and exhausting. You would think the very least my husband could do is not ask me repeatedly about the details of everything. I took my son to volunteer at a food pantry yesterday afternoon. Dinner plans I made with friends got rescheduled to yesterday so I needed my husband to meet us there and stay with him until the end and take him home. He asked me at least twice during the day what time it was ending. Then asked me again when he got there. They're not going to stop handing out food early because you don't want to be there. My son is 12. He can't find and schedule his own volunteer hours or drive himself there and back. All you have to do is stand here for an hour. Stop with the f'ing questions.
Also, I'm just sort of bored with everything? I feel like I always get this way in the Feb/Mar timeframe.
We're spending a bunch of money on pool and backyard stuff, so it's not like there aren't things in motion, I'm just sort of "blah" for no reason.
Screw TS Elliott, March is the cruelest month!! It’s long, weather changes from freezing to 75 for not reason with no warning. Bah! The only positive is it tends to be a three paycheck month, at least for me.
I silenced text messages from STBX on my phone. Only having to deal with his craziness on my terms has been incredibly helpful when dealing with my anxiety.
I ordered sushi for lunch today from a place that is within walking distance to try and get my ass out of the house for a bit.
