I made tacos last night, had a Smart Ones enchilada meal for lunch today, chips and salsa for a snack, and now I'm trying to convince H to go out for mexican tonight. Nothing else sounds good to me right now.
Could you be pregnant? haha. Now I want mexican..
Maybe lol. Right now I'm just rolling my eyes at my pathetic self trying to rearrange my schedule to make going out for mexican a possibility tonight.
Ah I just got off the phone with my dad. I miss him There are times he drives me nuts but all in all I'm a dad's girl. When my mom was driving us crazy when the boys were newborns he was the one on our side.
I'm hoping the Western Mass thing works out so we can be a bit closer (but still far enough to discourage pop-ins).
My mom asks if we want to go to dinner and we assume we're going dutch, which is totally fine. We get there and she's annoyed I'm not drinking martinis and says, "Oh, get one! I'll pay for it!" Does she? Never. And she always picks expensive, yet not that great, restaurants. Thanks, mom!

My neighborhood is under a boil water advisory. I ran out if filtered water from my pitcher and instead of boiling water or heading out to get some bottled water I am using this as an excuse to drink wine all night.

both my the in-laws and my parents are pissed we are moving an hour away from our current home (so 2 hours from them). To a point where my mom won't ask anything about the house search and will tell us everytime we talk about it how "they won't be able to babysit as much b/c of the long drive".
I'm bitter b/c my sister and her family (husband and niece who is a little over 1yr old) just moved from Texas to North Carolina. Everyone was happy as pie for them. I get really sick of being expected to cater to my parent's wants just because we are "closer". It's getting god-damn ridiculous.
Someone sent an office wide email today to like over 100 people inviting everyone to Easter Sunday church service. I work in a VERY diverse office and many are offended. WTF was that dude thinking?

Spreading the good WORD?
I have no idea. Where do you live? This sort of thing was not uncommon in the Bible Belt when I lived there.
Today would have been my due date. I am in a good place now with this pregnancy that I am not too upset about it, but it is weird and sad to think that I could have or should have been spending another Easter weekend in the hospital having a baby. On the upside, H and I got to travel alone to Rome and Jamaica over the past month and wouldn't have been able to do so if my due date were imminent, and our family trips to Disney and Germany this summer will be much easier with just the two girls. But, still. An old acquaintance posted on FB that she had her third baby today, and it stung.

When we lived in GA we were surrounded by fantastic Mexican restaurants. Now that we moved back to OH, I have gone to every Mexican restaurant I can find and NOTHING compares. I'm really really mad about this.

I bought this ridiculous craft project so I can keep busy. THey are plaster sea creatures that I have to mold and paint, and then I can make them magnets.
Yes. Apparently they are "saving for a cruise." lmao. Thanks for the invitation, MIL!
I think your MIL and my MIL might be related. She always invites us to dinner and then disappears when it's time to pay. But they always have money for vacations.

The landlord of the building beside me removed my secondary egress from my third floor unit without my permission. After fighting, he put it back, and added a railing which COMPLETELY blocks it from the fire escape which happens to be on his building.
I was told by codes today he is perfectly within his rights to do this.
This makes my 3rd floor unit uninhabitable.
I now have to 1) Pay $10-20k for a fire escape to my 2nd floor. 2) Combine the 2nd & 3Rd floor units and have the building recoded or 3) Lose $500/ mo income.
I'm elated we just dropped DS off with X until Sunday afternoon. Five and a half straight days of spring break, two of which were in a blizzard, at home in the house was way more spring break fun than I could deal with. Vacations are SO much easier than being home with kids 24/7. Next year we're either hitting the road to go somewhere or that kid's going to zoo camp or something. Pass me my mother of the year award now and follow it up with a drink.

Everytime someone posts about being all pissed off to be in someone's wedding I get sad. I really liked being in my friends weddings. I realize I was lucky in that none of them were destination weddings, and I've only had one bride out of the bazillion weddings I've been in where the bride was a giant pain in the butt, so maybe I've been lucky. But still.
Also, it makes me wonder if my bridesmaids are off complaining on their own message boards somewhere about having to be in my wedding :-(.
For the record, the dresses, while not glamorous, are from Davids, and pretty cheap, and can be ordered anywhere. My FMIL paid for my shower, my bachelorette party is local. I think I've been an ok bride :-)
Man, I have been super busy (and partially lazy) this week and my house is really messy. H is coming home late tonight after being OOT for the week and I spent the day shopping, lol. I have got to clean this house in the next few hours!
I just finished putting together everyone's easter baskets! I even made one for BIL.... who still is ignoring me. Whatever.
I bought all the ingredients for breakfast lasagna. Holy hell, berries are expensive right now!!
I bet you make pretty Easter baskets
Berries ARE expensive. I made a blueberry pie the other day that ended up costing me like 25 bucks when it was all said and done. Aye chihuahua.
You know, there's a pie shop by me that sells pies for 25 bucks a pop and I never really understood why. I get it now. I get it. And it is a damn shame.
