Whine: Have you guys heard about the manhunt for the ex LAPD officer who has been on a police killing rampage out here? They found him yesterday and there was a shootout and a burning cabin involved, they aren't confirming if it's his body in the cabin. This happened just up the mountain, about 15 minutes from my house. Two more officers died in the shootout yesterday, I am so sad for everyone involved in this situation.
Wine: We got the first of our adoption paperwork yesterday!
Whine: z has to do an hours worth of chores everyday to earn money to pay for the gs cookies she ate. It's a PITA to supervise her.
Wine: I think she is learning a bit about work ethic and I am checking things off my long to do list, (drawer under the oven? Crumb free!)
Whine: our toilet is clogged again. I am not sure if its because someone put something in there or it's just so old. I wish we had money to redo the bathroom. Sigh
Wine: my mom offered to watch pumpkin tomorrow so I can get stuff done. Tax appt at 10, haircut at noon, I have a gift card for qdoba and I am taking myself to lunch! I have a bunch of in-and-out of the car errands I am so excited to get done!
Wine: 6 interviews over the past 3 days = d.o.n.e. Now I wait and see if I get the offer.
Whine: I'm annoyed that I cant file our tax return yet. We need the refund to cover summer childcare expenses and I'm starting to worry we won't have it in time...
Wine: I'm excited to go to Vermont this weekend with my sister and her family. Yay long weekend, yay snowy New England sleigh ride.
Wine/whine: Finally got my first post miscarriage period.
Whine: Work sucks, and DW continues to work crazy much. Last night she got home from work at 10:30 (she works a normal 9-5 office job - not evenings!).

Wine: DW visits next weekend for my bday.
Wine: I got my taxes back.
Whine: To be financially stable on my own, and able to contribute more to the household when DW and I are back together, I may need to file bankruptcy. Before I moved she paid for EVERYTHING my whole check went to debt. I have a massive amount of CC debt, from paying for college that I put on CCs in only my name, this means that I pay them alone each month, however since moving out I cant pay them. It's nearly ALL OF my income from my part time second job, and is a huge frustration between DW and I. Sadly, the big B is looking to be the only option. I meet with a financial advisor that came highly recommended next week, but even on the phone she and I could tell my options. it's good and bad

Lots of great news around today!
Whine: I really, REALLY wish I could quit my job and start my own business but it just seems so entirely out of my reach. I don't see how we could afford it. Anyone out there have any experience?
Wine: I have been spending a fair amount of time with some new friends over the last week or so and it feels great. We moved to this city 5 years ago and I hadn't really made any friends other than being friendly with co-workers, and it's just so great to meet people with common interests. They are the nicest, most welcoming people I've met in a long time and it's lovely.

Whine: Sometimes I think Trav forgets that I WORK from home on the days that I work from home. Today I made cupcakes for Gwen to take to school tomorrow, make pasta and cut up cantaloupe to go with their dinner tonight, and washed a bunch of dishes.
Wine: Yoga tonight! And my house smells like cupcakes! Mmmm.
Wine: I applied at 4 places for a part time job and I have 4 second interviews lined up. 3 of the 4 jobs I have already been told I'm getting an offer! Now to wait on the 4th, which is my top choice.
Whine: I ate deli meat while walking through the grocery store today. N was hungry and I was giving him some and didn't think about it and ate it. That's when I remembered I had 2 sandwiches with deli meat at my sisters house, during the blizzard. I am so tired, I'm not paying attention to this pregnancy, like I did with N. it's going by so fast and I'm not appreciating it like I did last time. It makes me sad.
