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.
I’m in the middle of a pedicure and just busted out laughing
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 have done this more times than I’d like to admit.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
dochas, the detailed instructions over and over again is what’s making me bitter and resentful to the point that I just want to say f it, if you’re not going to help do a thing, leave. I asked H to pick up balloons for my sons birthday the other day. He did after I sent him all the details of what he was picking up, where and what time. Then he just leaves them in his car overnight because I didn’t tell him where to put them.

DD passed out at school yesterday. I'm 99% sure it's either due to dehydration (the girl never drinks enough water despite my incessant hounding her to) or hypoglycemia (I occasionally have a hypoglycemic episode). DH picked her up from school and brought her home. She was fine after she drank a Gatorade and ate something. I need to set up her annual wellness check, so I'll talk with the doctor at that appointment.
Our neighbors across the street are moving away and will be gone within the week. I'm sad to see them go, they are great neighbors. (They are retired and now want to downsize, and it's a sellers market, so I can't blame them for selling while prices are up.) Hoping the new family will be great neighbors too.
Unlike eddy I’ve been too good at spending money on myself lately. I decided to get a Rent the Runway subscription for every day clothes, I got new Nike high tops last week, I bought a Rev Balance board the other day, and then yesterday I realized that my shoe options were too limited for the clothes I was getting from Rent the Runway and I bought a pair of sandals from Bali ELF. I need to stop.
Also in regards to shopping, after watching The Last of Us and other post apocalyptic shows I’ve been expanding our earthquake/emergency kit. I’ve never felt better than when the power went out a few weeks ago and I opened our emergency kit and found a large collection of flashlights and chargers. I have major anxiety about not being prepared for things.
flygirl, it's like, have they no shame? You didn't tell him where to put them, did he think you wanted them THERE? I'm sorry you deal with the same nonsense. I don't know if my husband really can't understand how it affects our relationship or doesn't care.
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?

Hahahaha!!! TMI------A few years ago I called H in a total panic because the whole toilet bowl looked like it was filled with blood and I thought for sure there was something very wrong with me. H asked if I had anything red and I remembered I ordered a LARGE beet juice from Whole Foods the day before. It was.....dramatic, lol.

I am so bored at my new job. I was completely overworked in my previous position so I enjoyed the slow pace at first but now I am bored. I've asked for more work but we're in a holding pattern waiting for electronic systems to roll out. I sit in an open office so I feel guilty dicking around on my phone.
My dr won’t prescribe me prescription strength motion sickness patches and I’m annoyed. No reason given except “he recommends over the counter medications” (this is the nurse who speaks to the Dr then calls me back, so I’m not speaking directly to my dr). I mean, do they not believe that I’ve tried all over the counter options and none work for me? I have no contraindications and I’m not getting a reason for it which is frustrating to me. I feel sometime that people who don’t get motion sickness don’t have a full understanding of how debilitating it can be. It’s just annoying.

This is why a friend of mine wrote an entire novel at work! Or maybe you could do a training course or something fun like learn a language from your work computer so it looks like you're busy?

I know skinny jeans are supposedly out of style, but I love them and live in them. I just found these American Eagle dupes at Costco and they are super comfortable and sooo much cheaper.

We just got the photos that were taken of our house, and they came out great! It will be listed a week from today, with open houses that weekend. Eeek, this is happening. Also, H was finally officially diagnosed with ADHD the other day and will hopefully be starting meds soon. The doctor he's been meeting with says he's a classic example of it and thinks he'll really benefit from meds. I'm hopeful!

As a fellow motion sickness sufferer, I feel your pain. I can’t even float in a pool! I wonder if you could get a prescription if you went to urgent care?

I am taking a "chair dance" class tonight. It's way out of my comfort zone (I cannot dance) and I'm stupid excited for it. This is the first thing I'm doing for my self esteem since filing for divorce - I'm hoping it makes me feel sexy and confident.
I was told to wear heels, and STBXH is still living here so he is going to be VERY confused when I leave for my "workout class" with a pair of over-the-knee boots or suuuper high heels lol.

VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION-
When you wear a belt bag over your one shoulder, should it go under or over your boob? I mean, mine goes under, stupid big nursing boobs. But where SHOULD it go?

I realised I put the wrong month in the diary for our dog sitters and we're meant to leave this weekend. @£&$£*(@)$£(@ Luckily, they are amazing and wonderful and made space for him this weekend. I will be tipping them heavily!!!

I put mine over one boob, kinda almost between the two.

I have a sinus infection (day 4) and went to urgent care and they said no antibiotics until day 12. He kept saying I had a cold. I have had colds before and they never have the pressure in my eyes and ears and green shot like a sinus infection. I have always needed antibiotics for sinus infections, but apparently I don't know my body well enough. The one time I tried without antibiotics (which I told him all about) it went into my chest/lungs and triggered my asthma which resulted in 3 months of steroid, steroid shots, eventually a cracked rib from coughing and pleurisy. All he said after that was come back in 8 days if you are not better. You would think I was looking for painkillers and not a zpack.

We leave for Breckenridge on Saturday for spring break. I need to get packing but I’m so meh about ski vacations that it’s hard for me to get excited.
DH grew up skiing and snowboarding and absolutely loves it. So, we try to go out west every year. It’s a total compromise for me. I have tried skiing but really just don’t like it. But he loves it and wants our kids to love it, so we go. I don’t ski now, but end up schlepping ski stuff and doing drop-offs and pick-ups at ski school and on the mountain. He’s very fair, though, and knows I love beaches and trips to Europe. So we do those most years too. I just hate snow and one of my big fears is slipping and falling. I have a bad ankle and a knee that I had a bad ACL tear in years ago. I’m currently being a Debbie-downer and realize how lucky we are to be able to travel. I need to snap out of it and get it together.

Raaaage. I’ve had similar experiences being dismissed, even though literally NEVER ONCE have I gone to the doctor for a throat or sinus thing and it turned out I didn’t need antibiotics. It’s always turned out to be strep or tonsillitis or whatever, but the snooty dismissive bullshit happens so often.

Whoa! I’ve never met another me before. I actively hate the cold. Now my kids are total converts and love it so it’s our every spring break destination. This is a huge budget hit for us in terms of vacations and I am becoming resentful. I pitched a major fit this year because we could spend a week in very nice accommodations on a very nice cruise with what we spend on this trip (or better yet we could save for my 14 year old who might like to go to college or get help with a car one day). We cook in a lot of meals because it’s just insane as a family of 5 to eat out and in no way feels like a vacation for me because I do all the kid wrangling too when he wants to get in harder runs or with our littlest who needed breaks and then would take one and then complain incessantly that he wanted to go back out when no one would take him.

I try to keep it together with DH and not be a grump because he loves it so much. I do get some quiet reading time by the fire and DH booked me a full spa day while the kids are at ski school and he is on the mountain. He knows what to do to keep me going back, haha.
But yes. I’m jealous of everyone talking about their warm-weather vacations right now!
